PB 1:
Battery health: 93-94% (varies)
Recharge count: 12
Usage period: 3 weeks
Use rapid charger? : charge dock for last 10 days.

PB 2:
Battery health: 94%

[dmlis]

And now third unit...

PB3
Battery health: 100%. Not kidding.
Recharge count: 15

I bought it used, therefore am not aware on overal usage time and rapid charger.

I run the test recommended by peter9477:
http://forums.crackberry.com/blackbe...6/#post6931987
And battery health remained 100% before and after the test.

Just wonder... is 100% something exceptional? Am I the most lucky PB owner in the world?

[peter9477]

100% isn't likely exceptional so much as not real. :-)

The recalibration which the drain test can trigger doesn't happen right away. How long (or how many recharges) has it been since you did it?

Also, what were the results from the drain test? What average power and how long did it run for? If you don't know how to do the math, feel free to send me the export file covering that period and I can find it out for you.

Edit: oh, hah... just saw your email about having troubles exporting. :-) I'll try to sort it out for you in email.

[kennyliu]

Yeah, my 64Gb also started with 100%, then dropped down to 94% after a couple weeks.

It was 2 days and 1 recharge ago.
Average power -1.906W (I took simple average of all figures in Power(W) column in exported sheet) and test duration 9h 51min. Shut down at 7%.

And yes, thanks for your tip on exports from Battery Guru.

[Altarocks]

I've got a 32 I've had since US release - its been at 96% for most of that time. No drop-off over time, and I top off the charge every chance I get.

Have a 64 I added for my wife in late January - its been at 91% the whole time.

Running smooth as a baby's bottom
(use wall and/or cradle to charge)

[hpulley]

Battery health is up to 88% from 87% now; is that odd for it to go up or a sign of good full charging and discharging cycles?

[stackberry369]

88% here,had it for a week.

[peter9477]

hpulley, it's not odd, it's typical. I can apparently influence mine in the range from about 88% to 92% by altering my charging and discharging pattern.

I haven't gotten around to testing whether the change is real (actual capacity changes) or only apparent (number changes but capacity same). I strongly suspect that it's the latter, which is really why I haven't spent the time checking into it further. I consider health to be a sort of +/-2% thing in any case... not a precise measure.

[TheScionicMan]

I've had mine for about a year.

Battery health: 87%
Recharge count: 354
Usage period: 1 year
Use rapid charger? : Yes

My wife's was bought in November as a xMas gift:

Battery health: 90%
Recharge count: 44
Usage period: 4-5 months
Use rapid charger? : yes, almost exclusively

[hpjrt]

I bought mine in November of 2011.

[Harryl6134]

Bought February 23, 2012:

Health: 89%

Voltage: 3.83v

2.90 w

Recharge cycles: 59

Only using wall charger

[westronic]

playbook age: about 60 days
batt health: 89% (was 91% until yesterday)
recharge count: 63
charger type: cradle (well, sort of - the wall charger with magnetic connector) mostly, rapid charge USB when in the car.

As an aside, which USB cable is used with a high-current (2-amp) car charger makes a difference. I can get a rapid charge with a good blackberry cable, but not with a cheap one.

Got mine around February 27-28.

Battery Health : currently 89% - although, sometimes it jumps from 89 to 91/92/93 when I restart PB
How many recharge : 22
Use rapid charger : no, don't have that one. only OEM BlackBerry Premium Micro-USB Charger that came with my PB

Health: 89%
Recharge Count: 109
Voltage: 4.17v
Charger: Rapid/Cradle (mostly cradle)
Bought: Mid-December, 2011 (4.5 months)

Overall, very happy with battery performance - and it seems to have gotten better with the latest OS update, so...

BTW, of those reporting their battery voltage, mine seems to be the highest of anyone's. Is this good or bad? Peter?

Thanks, thought so but had to ask. Interesting to know if even 93% - 87% would be measurable or noticeable.

[hpulley]

Now up to 89%, come on 90%...
