- I am using non-official power cord for my new blackberry. And the phone is flashing green and red while it is charging. Could I be ruining the battery.
Also, I hear a beep on the bluetooth earphone intermittently.
Don't want to ruin the new blackberry!
Also, I as told to charge the first time for 12 hours.
I would think that would be an overcharge if done on a regualr basis.
what is the optimal amount of time to charge it , if one wants to incres the storage capacity of the battery..
thanks in advance for any help here. newbie on the forum.09-21-09 11:26 AMLike 0 - I am using non-official power cord for my new blackberry. And the phone is flashing green and red while it is charging. Could I be ruining the battery.

There is no way to charge it too much, charge as long as you like.09-21-09 11:39 AMLike 0 - Get a BlackBerry charger. I semi-ruined my HTC s620 with a cheep car charger from Walmart. Now my meter is gone crazy. It show me being pluged in, when I'm not. When runnin' on a full charge it reads 100% 'til it shuts off. When I restart it's at 10 to 20%. It's overclocked so I keep a spare battery and reload every 6 to 8 hours. That is what has led me to RIM. it's too much work being a WM power user. WM 6.5 is great, but I realy wanna try something new. I 'm gettin a 8320 on Fri. Could have went Q9m or BlackJack II for the same price.

- My LED had all kinds of colors when I first started using my seidio battery with a oem charger. Just meant the battery was super low. Was it a new battery. I use my old motorola charger in my car. I would just make sure the charger output is less than a blackberry charger and frying it is unlikely. My moto charger is less, just takes more time to charge. But use at own risk.
