When I got my Storm and then activated it at the Verizon store they just turned it on and activated it even though the manual says to let it fully charge before using. I left the store and it showed to have 25% battery life left. Does it matter if the battery is charged up before it is fully discharged or if the phone is used while charging?
Actually I think you better do two full cycle. Thanks to our battery technology, 1300 mAh Lithium-Ion means that sometimes you must do full cycle, but don't take care about over recharges... Enjoy
-Leave the power off
-plug in to wall adapter
-LED will flash green
-leave it there until LED is solid green (it may take 8-12 hrs)
-at this point you are 100% charged
use the phone and do not charge again until you are less than 15%
repeat the process at least 3-4 times
I did this for my storm battery and now I can charge from 5% to 100% (with solid green LED) in approx 2 hours. My battery lasts 2 full days with moderate use.
