But apparently if you do that you will not get the full life out of your battery thanks for reply

Conditioning is more important than the initial charging of a lithium-ion battery.
Run it on the charge for an hour or two extra. But make sure you use the battery to around 20% charge then recharge it fully.
Depending on who you ask, this seems to be the best for longevity for Li batteries.
OK thank you

it's also very damaging to run lithium batteries flat (like you see in some screenshots where people run it to like 1%)
optimum charge for lithium is between around 30% and 80%. they will get better life with regular top up charges rather than full discharge and charge.
Re Samsung S3 GT-19000
I asked the same question to customer services when I got mine and was told charge first time for 8 hours,. even though the batt will come with some charge already in it,. they told me charge for 4 hours, then you can turn it on but leave it continue charging for a further 4 hours with minimal use, then your ready to go, the standby life is only a couple of days,. from experience, but if your browsing or playing games/watching video etc it will only last 7 to 10 hours,. hope thats helpful,. regards Gwest
No need to charge for x hours before use. That, and those "fully charged before discharge", "fully discharged before recharge" are for nickel battery which has memory effect. Lithium battery has no memory effect but natural degradation. To slow the degradation, just avoid fully discharge and high temperature.

Hey guys I'm getting my new 2000mah battery tomorrow and I want to know some precautions. OK first - when I get it should I put it in the phone and use my phone until it drops to one percent and then recharge fully to 100? Or, should I charge the battery immediately after I get it (assuming it will be at like 50%). Thanks all

After 50% charge it over night (mobile off) . Use it till 50%, charge it over night (mobile off). Repeat it one more time. Than you can use it as usual.
That's how I do it. Read some technical information to know why.

Just wondering, how much did you pay for the battery?
Sent from my GT-I9100 using XDA App
Plug in battery, charge, use phone.
Profit.?
Modern batteries don't need any fancy charging regime. Just use it and charge it as you see fit. It will perform better once it's been used for a couple of weeks and had a few good full charges, but it is not required.
How much is this battery? And how many hours more do you get with it?
Bought it for like 40 bucks from Expansys and it will be here in 13 days lol. Also thanks for tips

Any particular day of the week you have to perform this bizarre charging ritual ? Do i need a special hat ? maybe sacrifice a goat ?
So I was overclocking my Atrix 4g and benching it using Faux123's 1.45 Ghz kernel. CF Bench caused it to overheat and restart every time so I did the stupid task of putting it in the freezer (Yes the thing on top of a Refrigerator). And I didn't just put it in the freezer I put it near the part where the fan blows in the cold air. Apparently that wasn't a good idea since my phone suddenly Jumped from 60% battery to 19%. Basically loosing 40% of its charge. Followed by a FC and Reboot.
That night I wen't to sleep and plugged it into an AC charger, it was charging for about 12+ hours. And now my phone won't charge over 60% (Kind of makes sense with the 40% battery loss) and wont go past 1109 mAh ( it's a 1930 mAh battery).
My question is: Have I ****ed up 40% of my battery forever or this something that can be fixed. Note: I have already tried wiping the battery stats.
Try to take out your battery and plug your phone into a wall charger, after that place your battery back into your phone and let it charge

Thanks for the reply.
Should I wait until it has drained or not?
Shouldn't make a difference

If that doesn't work, try recalibrating the battery...

Thanks guys I managed to fix it by plugging it in without battery and then putting it in. however it.still showed 50% so.I went into recove.and cleared.battery stats and now its.at 100%

Hi,
I was comparing battery life to my desire s. I know there are different specs and the galaxy s 3 needs a bigger battery for the screen etc but I charged the desire s to a 100% and took it of charge. It took around 10 minutes for that percentage to drop to 99% while using the phone and considering it has a smaller battery. On the galaxy s 3 when I take it off charge it goes straight from 100 to 99 and while using the phone for the same time 10 minutes the battery has decreased dramatically to about 94.
I am on RGUI rom with siyah kernel

No day is considered complete without at least one new topic about battery issues or low RAM.
Please let me stress that the forum search has no issues and works fairly well... one needs to use it tough.
Li-Ion packs don't like being fully charged or fully discharged, so the phone's integrated charger only goes to 99% and keeps it there on trickle charge which will significantly extend the phone's average battery life.
It doesn't matter tough if your phone goes from 100% to 99% instantly or stays at 100% for 10 minutes; the overall capacity (from fully charged to power-off) is the only relevant factor. And that one should be better
Thanks for the info but I see my desire s battery better though

U say ur desire had better batterylife. Did u have 3g or wifi on on both? My galaxy s2 lasted 4 days with 64 orosent left. Almost no screen on time and 3g and wifi off. It wasn't better than s3 when using it the same way.

Will leaving your phone charging all night ( 8hrs) damage the battery?

No.
My understanding is that it discharges to about 95% when the battery is fully charged, then starts charging again. That kind of cycling does not damage a Lithium-Ion battery.
Edit: Here's a thread that discusses the charge/discharge cycle.

I have a Lithium Polymer 4000 mAh Extended Battery by Sedio, and the longer I charge it, the better it performs. On a 12 hour charge I get about 72 hour battery life on Moderate Usage

I leave mine charging every night. Never had any problems. Lithium Ion batteries are pretty forgiving. You can pretty much charge them whenever you want as much as you want.

I think its alright! Yup its little slow but its fine! When I was having a stock S3, it used to take 2 + hrs for complete charging (0%-100%)
If you are not satisfied then you can change your charger!
Or if you are are rooted user then u can try by changing charging settings in your kernel(only if u have a custom kernel)!
Press thanks if it helped you! :silly:
Yea, no need to panic. Same here.
Sent from my GT-I9300 using XDA Free mobile app
You could use a custom kernel modifing the charge settings but BE CAREFUL, could be dangerous for your battery if you will exaggerate
The older your battery is then the smaller it's capacity and the quicker it will charge. A brand new battery should take around 4 hours to charge, so your battery has lost 40% of it's original capacity -assuming your charger and internal charging circuit of the phone remain to spec.
