i disconnect the phone from my xp machine (which was connectedto activeSync since morning), I did set to disable charging while connected to PC...the batt now seems to be stable and not dropping anymore...activeSync is the power drain culprit? hmmm
not nessacery to disable the function, the following will give u the reason:source from Battery University
Q: How should I prepare my new battery?
A: Li-ion comes partially charged. You can use the battery right away and charge it when needed.
Q: Can I damage my battery if incorrectly prepared?
A: No; Li-ion is forgiving to partial and full charge. No priming is needed when new.
Q: Should I use up all battery energy before charging?
A: No, it is better to recharge more often; avoid frequent full discharges.
Yes, on batteries with a fuel gauge, allow a full discharge once a month to enable reset
Q: Should I charge my battery partially or fully?
A: Does not matter. Charging in stages is acceptable. Full charge termination occurs by reading the voltage level and charge current. Charging a full battery is safe and does not cause harm.
Q: Should I remove the battery from the charger when full?
- Should I remove the AC when my laptop is not in use?
A: It does not matter. The charger automatically cuts the charge current when the battery is full. A laptop may be connected to the AC when not in use.
