36 Hours Of Standby BlackBerry battery time? Yea, right
I charge my BlackBerry 7520's battery (like the one above) every morning. And yes, I go into the Options Menu to make darn sure that I am 100% charged.
Over the course of a 10 hour-day, I use the BlackBerry for oh, maybe 20 minutes.
But then you know what? After those 10 hours, my BlackBerry battery is down to 5%.
Maybe I get another hour of power with that 5%.
Something's wrong here. After 11 or 12 hours-mostly on standby, my BlackBerry battery is drained. And it ain't the specific battery. I've had three batteries in this device, and their power reserve quite literally all sucks.
I'd like to hear from some of you readers. What BlackBerry do you have? How many hours of standby time do you get with your BlackBerry battery?
