I could easily have spent a fortune replacing the motherboard, the memory, the processor etc when it all came down to 2 dollar battery. What's more is these batteries are easy to get. What you need is a CR2032 available at most hardware stores like home depot and I've even seen them sold in Safeways. Of course every reputable computer lithium battery stocks store should stock them. Just check to make sure that your PC uses a CR2032 before you go to the shops!
There are several types of battery in use at the present time and each must be treated differently. There are Nickel-Cadmium (Ni-Cad), Nickel-Metal Hydride (NiMH) and Lithium-ion. Ni-Cad is old technology and hence only found in ancient handsets, so I will not be covering them in this article. NiMH batteries perform much better than Ni-Cad, typically giving 30% more talk time, but Lithium are thinner and give even higher performance. I will be concentrating on lithium facts-ion as it is the most used modern mobile phone battery to date. Check which type of battery your phone has before following any of the following.
The last thing to start tinkering on is the rate of fire. The biggest thing that will determine your ROF is the battery voltage and the amount Milliampere-Hour rating (mAH). Some of the best batteries for increasing ROF are the LiPoly batteries (Lithium Polymer) but you should not use these types on out of the box guns. When preparing to use the Lipoly battery you need to make your internal components are reinforced and upgraded where they need to be.
You lithium bettery stock do not need all the sounds. Using heavy mp3 ring tones, keypad tones, vibrating and other chimes together are unnecessary. If you want a ring tone, switch off your vibrating mode. If you are using vibration then turn off mp3 ringtones. Turn down the overall volume of your phone as loud mobiles can be annoying and prone to battery wastage. Remember that vibration mode drains out most of your battery power.
In case you are using new nickel-metal hydride (NiMH) battery, remember you should not charge the battery for too long or it will overcharge it and end up shortening the life of the battery. However, it is important to charge and discharge the battery three times just like the lithium-ion battery to ensure that it has a long a life.
Using these easy tips to keep the battery in the best condition won't do wonders, but will let you use it to the maximum number of recharges. Ever wondered why some laptops keep their maximum capacity for 3-4 years, while others dive under an hour of runtime in one? This is why.
