How long should my cellphone battery last?

Question

I have an Alltel LG AX5000 phone and the battery goes dead at what I think is way too soon. I usually have 1 - 4 bars where I talk at, and the battery only lasts for up to 45 minutes of talking. It's annoying the crap out of me, because I have to charge it all the time. The phone isn't even a year old, I got it in like January!!! Do I need to get a new battery already or is it just that bad? And half the time I talk until it gets to two bars left out of four, and then it drops the call.. "Call was lost." I guess that's just because the phone gets overheated? Any answers will be helpful.. Except for you point-obsessed people who say "No." to every single answer.

I charge it till it tells me "Battery Charging is Completed!" Ugh..

Answer 1

Batteries last about a year then they do not last as long.

But the call lost is not a battery problem.

If the phone is less than a year take it in for warranty repair.

Answer 2

It sounds like you may have "Short Lifed" your battery alot of batteries nowadays are Lithium-Ion, the battery I'm guessing you have is what is know as Ni-Cad and has what is known as memory problems, meaning if you charge a battery and use it and charge it again without draining it all the way, you'll end up killing off that portion of the battery. Lithium-Ions dont have that problem.

You may not be charging it long enough or your battery is crap try going to alltels website and emailing them they may send you a new battery our you'll just have to replace it yourself
