Found good thread about battery drain solution

You’re absolutely right. However, I read that the ideal charge for a Li-ion battery’s lifespan is 40%. I rarely charge my devices fully, and usually keep them between 1/4 and 1/2 charge.

As for battery issues, there is some confusion here. Lion batteries should never be deeply discharged. Likewise, they should never been overcharged or discharged/charged too rapidly. Not to mention, temp is also a critical factor for Lion batteries and affects how quickly they can be charged/discharged. This is why almost all lion packs have built-in charge circuits which constantly monitor and protect the battery pack. In short, if the circuit truly allows a deep discharge, a hardware engineer fell down on the job. And this isn’t likely as unhappy lion packs have a habit of bursting in flames or exploding.

With that concern out of the way, based strictly on what I’ve read, Android does have an adaptive algorithm which automatically adjusts to different packs. This is because different size packs can be installed plus not every pack or even every cell in used to make packs are exactly the same. The reason why a pseudo-deep discharge is often recommended is because this allows the OS to accurately **estimate** how much battery life is in the attached battery pack. What the phone may have estimated was 20% today, may actually be a 50% charge tomorrow, after the phone has had a chance to calibrate to the pack.

So if you are having trouble with battery life based strictly on ESTIMATED battery charge displayed by your phone, do try to run you battery pack down to 5%-10%. Just be cautious as enabling something like your GPS with a light charge may actually force the phone to turn off in a not-so-nice way. After you do this a couple of times, chances are you’ll notice a healthier battery charge estimated by your phone.

WiSyncPlus is another option of power savings. WiSyncPlus actually has the potential to save significantly more power than can Power Manager. Tests indicate estimated standby times of 400+ hours can be achieved with WiSyncPlus. That’s actually more than is advertised for the iPhone. Additionally, WiSyncPlus also monitors signal strength vs current mode and actively makes recommendations for you to change settings to further improve battery life.

Also WiSyncPlus is insanely configurable and continues to improve with every release. So if you’re looking to save yet more battery life, WiSyncPlus can save power (and more) in ways Power Manager simply can not.

With the combination of WiSyncPlus + DimBot I rarely need to do anything to improve standby battery life – unlike with Power Manager. I typically see two to three days of life. Obviously exact times will differ greatly based on actual phone use.

Thanks for the info, there definitely seems to be truth in what you say. You do say that there is a #cycles before the battery dies… doesn’t that mean that you should let it run low before recharging (if 1 recharge = 1 cycles, then fewer recharges = longer battery life).

I do now know that when I buy a new battery that I’ll sell the old one rapidly, before it expires.

The WiFi vs. 3G power drain needs a bit of refinement in this article. 3G is actually a bigger drain on the battery than WiFi if the signal is moderate to low. If you do not have a strong 3G signal, and have access to a wireless hotspot, WiFi is better and less of a draw on the battery.
