Battery Charging

[Guest Charlton22]

Well, I noticed that when I charge my liquid what the battery is more then 50% it will discharge more rapidly..

Therefore if the battery is discharged and then charged it will serve alot longer.. (Between 2 or 3 times longer)

Is there any app, that when you connect the charger it asks you if you want to discharge before charging?

Thanks

Very bad habit, lithium batteries shouldn't be discharched completely because it will damage it more quickly.

Do it only occasionaly to 'reset' the charge indicators (ie one time in a month)

Yes thats what I do! But sometimes I have to recharge it even @70% charge before going work!

It won't only damage it, it can actually destroy the battery, or at least that's the case with lipo batteries. (leading to the characteristic "lipo puff"...)

I certainly hope that the phone says the battery is empty when it reaches about 20% of it's capacity, as going lower probably will damage the cell.

(not sure if li-ion batteries share these characteristics, but both shouldn't be discharged too far)

Yes I know! I have to charge now as I'm going work and 70% might don't serve me till tonight...

I know it can damage the battery but I cant do else...

NO ;) it's good to recharge it at 70%!

isn't good to discharge it completely...

Read somewhere that you should leave your phone on charge all the time, when it is full it will cut off charging, but by doing this you make sure you have the maximum charge for the day

Why dont Acer put in a bigger battery - it does not last long at all....... i have chargers everywhere in the house... in the car etc

Seen a bigger battery on ebay but read on this forum people testing it said it made no difference

Looks like we are stuck??

You can get this beast-

But I doubt you would want to be caught dead with that.

Imagine what people 100 years from now would think when they find you with that o.0'.

Well they didn't put a larger battery in because that is a) more expensive, b ) heavier and c) larger.

Acer should have built (low-level) protection into the Liquid to prevent over and undercharging of the battery. Everyone (at least every hardware manufacturer) knows Li-on is very vulnerable and is worthless without it. I don't believe there is a single chance of undercharging the battery by just switching it on and letting it drain in a natural (ie by using it for everyday use) way.

Another tip: consider Juice defender and if you can afford it, Ultimate Juice (the payed version). I now charge my phone every 3 days instead of every day!
