p900 &p910i

Wed, 15 Sep 2010 12:50:11 GMT

i have 3 phones -

1. p900 - approximately 8 years old.

2,. 2 x p910i - purchased on ebay around 12 months ago.

the p900 suddenly started displaying "battery low" around 24 hours after being fully charged and it would then go flat.

i tried 4 new batteries and the same thing kept happening.

i then decided to bring the p910i's into play and the same thing happens.

has anyone experienced similar problems? could all 3 phones be faulty? could all 4 batteries be faulty?

i think that if kept the phone on continuaal charge i would have no problem.

i am using bst15 batteries 3.6v 1260mah.

many thanks,

It's highly unlikely that all 4 batteries are faulty, but are you sure that these batteries are of the correct specification for these phones, because the current seems very high (1260mA) ? Do these phones charge through the USB connection and if they do, does the same thing happen? Also,bear in mind that new batteries need a few charging cycles before reaching full efficiency.

these are genuine bst15 sony ericsson batteries.

i have not used a usb connection for charging.

point taken re "reaching ful efficiency".

i was advised that the higher the ma rating the longer the batteries will last.

should i try some at a lower rating? i have seen them as low as 900ma.

As long as they are genuine replacement batteries with a voltage matching that of the original battery, you should be OK.
