    Hey All!

    Just looking for suggestions here.

    I have a BB9900 and I have acquired 4 batteries for it. 3 are older, and 1 is brand new.

    What's the best way to perform a battery rundown test - that I can repeat for all 4 batteries to measure their run time?

    The thing is - I don't have data on my phone plan. So I can't use that.

    Should I just phone a number - and leave it connected for as long as it will last?

    Does voice calling use the most power?

    Suggestions on settings etc would be appreciated thanks!

    Max brightness, turn on WiFi but don't connect to any network, and play movies/games/music, it'll drain the hell out of them

    I find that calling on my curve 9360 drains the battery the most, however that being said-and I could be wrong- but maybe try just keeping the screen on full brightness if you can while watching a movie?
