3 Day Charge!

I have been staying at a friends house and forgot my charger at my place, I figured I would be without my phone for at least a couple of days but after the first day (minimal online use, 20-25 texts, + checking email and Facebook) only one and a half bars were gone!:eek: The second day consisted of the same use with a few phone calls (up riding in the moutains so I like to be away from everyone):D, finally the third day came and I was at the last bar. She finally quit on me around 1 p.m. were talking about a 53 hour charge! (stock battery)

Has anyone else gotten a charge like this?

awesome glad yours is good

The secret is to have auto dim turned on for your background light. This saves you hours of battery life.

the fastest mine has dropped was watching a full 2 hour movie on it, and it only lost 2 bars. this was after a full day of texting (60-70 texts) and a bit of browsing/myspace. i can run a 20ish song playlist, and the battery wont move.

My battery has been good to me also.

I am pretty rough on it day to day. I make at least 3-5 phone calls per day, about 25mins total at least. I BB Messenger like a mad man, all day long. I MMS real bad too, always getting the goofy animations and what not. I always use my media player in the morning while I am in the shower. So about 30mins of music everyday, which plays through my bluetooth speakers. I also check stocks and weather on my 3rd party apps, and then there's crackberry wap of course. I usually go the whole day and the phone still has 1.5 - 2 bars left before I put it on charge before bed time.

So, I think my battery does quite well. I have no complaints.

My batter has done this on .85, Now on .86 it seems to consume the battery rather quickly. But, Luckily for me i bring a potato and some contact wires, a glass of water wherever i go.... and i'm good to go.

That's awesome. I hear of users who have to charge every night or every day. Mine usually lasts between 3-5 days depending on usage.

I'm still running .75 and I charge every night. I do fairly heavy usage; I usually take the Storm off the charger about 6 a.m. and put it back on about midnight, so we're talking 18 hours.

your full of day of texting is 60-70 texts? i send easily 200 not even trying. i just cant stop the urge to find a reason to click my screen ;)

I also have had three days use on one charge. I still like charging nightly though

I am usually able to get about a 2-4 days use from a single charge with heavy usage. I think the reason for my battery lasting the length it does is because I use the BB sleeve with the sleep magnet.

funny...mine will go all week...as long as I don't do much but as soon as I start messing around battery starts to go :(

Were you using a holster or case with the sleep magnet? Last weekend I decided to test battery drain when holstered. From full charge on a Seidio extended (1600) battery, I left the phone on in the holster (phone/radio on but bluetooth off) with very little usage and after a full 24 hours the charge was down to 89%. So I suspect when holstered in that sleep/standby mode it could last a very long time without a charge. This was on .75.
