You'll notice a full charge will last less and less time.
Passport SE: All the snooty prestige of a device with a precious metal in the name at less than half the price!
It will die and you cant use it
Blackberry Passport and Blue Classic
It will last 6-8 hours and not a day and a half or two. Basically it will last as long as an android phone
You can check the health of your battery with the BBVE app in Blackberry World. If it shows yellow then your battery is going.
How long have you had your Passport?
I just got my passport had for bout a month never lasted two days lol I dunno what the deal iz, it last about 12 hrs at most

Suggest to watch battery's health. When it's below 50% (that will probably happen not earlier than in 3 years), it's probably time to change.
You also can do a lot to keep your battery healthy for a really long time:
1.) never do "short-time charging", which means when you plug it let it charge for at least 15-20min.
2.) Never let your battery level fall below 20% or charge it over 90%!
Lithium Ion batteries prefer being around the middle.
If possible, you should put it on a charger at 30% and charge up to max. 70%.
That is also the reason why charging between 30%-80% is way faster than below or above that level, to minimize the stress for the cells and reduce cell oxidation.
(if you go for a full charge, just stop the time between 40%-50% and between 90%-100%).
I know that this is not always possible in the "real world", but you should keep that in mind - if you follow this as close as possible, it can make your battery live longer up to 300%.
You get way more charging cycles out of it.
3.) avoid extreme heat. Battery will oxide faster and live shorter.
4.) don't recharge your device when the battery level is above 70% - also see "2.)" for the reason.
