I had 1hr phone call on bluetooth, maybe 20 texts, a few emails and about 2 1/2hrs of web/Facebook and a few bluetooth file transfers (bluetooth off when not in use, wifi off, facebook set to update every 3hrs. Opera Mini is the only app I added to the phone besides Facebook. I also close out all apps when not in use. I usually get more texts and the lowest my battery has ever been is 30-40% after 18-19hrs. I once forgot to charge and after 27hrs it was at 25%. Not bad for such a small battery.

After suffering through a few days with the stock battery I grabbed the Seidio extended battery (just like I did for my Curve). yes...it makes the phone bigger. BUT...I get a hundred emails a day. I make a hundred phone calls a day. I listen to XM radio, iheart radio, I watch the NFL network. I text message, BBM, mms, I use it to check the weather, hockey scores, google a hundred times a day, google maps, and I use my Bluetooth headset all day to make calls and listen to music.
I pull my phone off the charger at 5 am every day, and by the end of the day I have 3 and a 1/2 bars at 9 pm.
I never need to charge during the day I neer need my car charger. I don't work for or endorse Seidio. But it is the best solution if you want long battery life and are on the go and can't charge ten times a day. It only took a few days to get used to the bigger back. The only downside is a lot of the cases won't work with it. But I'm so used to it now I just carry it without a case. I can still use my cradle with it.

Off charger at 630am and with about 30 minutes of calls, 20 minutes of web, 50 texts, 2 hours of music and bluetooth headset connected all day my battery got into the red at 830pm. 14 hours is pretty good to me. I think thats about the best your going to get with the stock battery on the 9650 unless you just dont use your phone very much.02-23-11 08:33 PMLike 0
- I have two batteries for my storm. Both brand new came w my insurance claim and the second because the first refurb was bad. One battery drains like to twenty percent in five hours. The second lasts ten. Both w consistent usage of bbm w group chat as well. Txt twenty minutes of calls and around two hours browsing through the day on OM5.
