 Nokia batteries
Cell phone batteries are usually made of Lithium Ion (LiOn) which is a lightweight and rechargeable battery that has no effects on the memory of the cell phone. When you first use the cell phone, it is necessary that the first charge is for eight continuous hours. It is important that you charge the battery for so long on its first charge else the battery expires before its intended life span.
Different models of cell phones use different batteries with different capacities. Some phones offer vibrator alarm features where it is the battery that vibrates. Then there are cell phones that offer long talk time which need a stronger cell phone battery . This is why it is not advisable to swap batteries between cell phones. All that happens is damage to the unit.
Whichever cell phone and cell phone battery you have, it is important that you don’t expose both the cell phone and its battery to extreme moisture and heat. Though it is important that you periodically charge the battery, it is important that you don’t overcharge it as the resultant heat can explode the unit. It is better that you avoid dropping the cell phone batteries while draining the batteries occasionally and then charging them fully lengthens the life of the cell phone. If the cell phone is not used for more than two months, then the battery has to be recharged completely before using.
It’s hard to imagine what the world did before the use of cell phones! We have become so dependent on having a cell phone that we tend to panic if we forget it at home or if the battery dies. Cell phones are an important part of most everyone’s life that allows them to be reachable 24/7 for family, friends and business associates to contact them.
When considering a new cell phone purchase it is also important to consider the cell phone batteries also. Below are some tips to help.
Cell Phone Battery Capacity:
For more talk time and stand by time in between phone charges you should go with a high capacity cell phone battery. However, when choosing a high capacity cell phone battery, there will also be a greater weight in size. With bigger cell phone batteries your cell phone may not fit into cell phone protectors, pockets and such. If you plan on traveling a lot with your cell phone, this may pose a problem as your phone may not be as readily available.
Getting what you pay for:
Just like any other purchase, choosing the cell phone batteries that cost less may not be the best option for quality. Make sure you ask if you are buying a new battery or a refurbished battery, this is an important question! A big hint for spotting a refurbished battery is the price being incredibly too cheap. Refurbished batteries may have old components and not work as well as a new battery will.
Do you receive a warranty when buying your new cell phone battery should you have any problems? Some cell phone batteries don’t last as long as expected. The cell phone manufacturer will usually offer a new battery if it’s within a specified amount of time from purchase.
Nokia cell phone battery problems
Nokia, the leader in wireless communication is in the news again, but this time, not for good reasons. It was revealed that over 46 million batteries used in the Nokia phones could overheat and the company would replace them for no cost to consumers. Not all the Nokia batteries are found faulty, only those BL-5C batteries (manufactured by Matsushita) had been found to overheat while being charged, and thereafter stopped working. Nokia says there is no need to panic. The wireless major is advertising in the Indian newspapers (the problem is said to be found in India) saying 'Your Nokia Is Safe To Use'.
Do you use a Nokia mobile phone? If yes, open the flap at the back and examine the battery inside. If it's the BL-5C battery manufactured by Matsushita you should replace it immediately. It's important because these batteries are not getting overheated but also found to be swollen in many cases. Remember! Nokia will change only those BL-5C batteries which had been manufactured by Matsushita Battery Industrial Co. between December 2005 and November 2006 brand.
In India itself, the company received 165,000 SMS messages of distress following the advisory, said Devinder Kishore, the marketing chief of Nokia's Indian arm. 'Out of these calls and messages, about 4.5 percent of batteries were found in the batch for which the product advisory has been issued,' he told reporters. However, he maintained that there had been no overheating complaints in India.
The "BL-5C" is Nokia's most widely used battery powering the low-end 1100 series to multimedia handsets like N70 and N91. After receiving complaints from many Nokia mobile phone users, Nokia said it had issued a product advisory (http://www.nokia.com/batteryreplacement ) to consumers based on preliminary findings of an ongoing investigation.
"By reacting swiftly and responsibly, and by being fully transparent, we believe that consumers will continue to view Nokia as a responsible and trustworthy brand," Robert Andersson, head of customer and market operations at Nokia told Reuters.
