My second hand 8900 Battery is seriously playing up. I have ordered a new battery, but the old one loses charge within 2/3 hours and the battery gets really hot!!!
I've never experienced that with blackberries before.
Is this just a replace battery time or is there something more sinister.......:confused:
Oh yes, wants the recommended intial charge for a new battery to prolong it's life?
thanx in advance guys & gals.
your best bet would be buy a name brand battery something other users have had and a product you can trust. i have a 8900 and i have never had a problem with my battery and it still holds a charge. my battery last 2 days without charging
Yeah,
but it's the phone that is second hand, the battery was ostentially the original BB battery. I've never known a BB battery to go 'hot' as well as lose charge so quickly.
am concerned it's a fault with the phone, any thouhts...?
I have both the 8310 curve and 8900 curve. I have the Seidio extended 2600 batteries for both. I jave never had issues with the stock BB batteries or the Seidio's. If your battery is old, it will not hold a charge for long at all. Get a new BB battery and try it out. If it still drains quickly and gets Hot, its your phone.
