December 07, 2010 admin

Here are some basics you should know about your Samsung Cell Phone Battery. Most of the info here can also be applied to any other cell phone so for instance if someone else in your home has an LG this would work for them as well.

1Battery variety:often misunderstood and misrepresented. There are four battery types used in cell phone batteries. The following list is ranked oldest to newest. Whenever possible you DO want the newest type for your Samsung phone.

Nickel CadmiumNiCd The oldest battery type used in cell phones. Theyre the heaviest and smallest capacity battery type.These can be somewhat hard to find. If your Samsung cell phone is pretty new you probably done have this type.

Nickel Metal HydrideNiMh Well known battery about 12 years ago. They are lighter than Nickel Cadmium batteries but weigh more than Lithium batteries. These should be cycled once in a while for optimum performance. Again any recent or new cell phones may not have this type.

Lithium IonLiIon This was the latest battery technology before lithium polymer. They have a higher power density than NiMh and NiCd batteries. LiIon batteries generally have become the defacto. For most people this battery technology represents the best combination of size capacity and value. Most of the current Samsung cell phones will be using these but check with a reputable cell phone dealer to verify this. These types of batteries dont suffer from the poor memory effect and can be recharged anytime.

Lithium Polymer The latest and greatest being used in cell phones. They have a higher power density than the other types. This allows manufacturers to provide either a thinner or lighter battery or some combination of both. They can be hard to find.They are available for several Samsung phones. Lithium Polymer batteries do not suffer from the poor memory effect and can be recharged anytime.

2Battery freshness:often overlooked. Always make sure you have the freshest battery possible. A battery can lose it’s ability to hold a charge as time goes on and you DONT want your cell phone dying especially if you just purchased it. You want batteries that move off of shelves quickly to be sure they aren’t old.

3Battery life:a combination of a battery’s drainage and capacity and is normally seen quoted for standby and/or talk time. Usually quoted for ideal conditions. But remember that most of us will rarely use our cell phones full under ideal conditions all of the time. And if your using your Samsung phone in analog mode it will drain the battery more quickly. And be careful when in areas that are difficult to get cell phone coverage such as buildings or tunnels since your phone battery will drain because your phone will continually be trying to make a connection.

4Size: terms like slim ultra slim main and extended are commonly used by different cell phone vendors and is normally determined by the battery type and capacity.You can offset this by selecting your Samsung battery made from lithium ion or lithium polymer since they pack more power in the same amount of space.

There are a couple of more considerations about choosing yourSamsung Cell Phone Battery which I’ll cover with a later post. And don’t forget the holidays are coming up so make sure you take a look at various face plates and extra batteries to enhance your gifts!
