battery life for cellphones

[LittleAsianGuy]

Im thinking of buying a older cellphone for backup and wondering what's the battery life on these things? The phone must be a 3-4 yr old phone with a old battery.

You're going to need a new battery, my Berry is barely 7 months old and is going to need a new one pretty quick. Good news is you can buy them real cheap on ebay.

Yeah, just make sure you don't buy a counterfeit one or it could catch fire!

Most of the ones listed from China or Latvia are both cheap and counterfeit.

My cell phone batteries are 2yr but I find I charge it more.

Chinese man killed when cell phone explodes:

Turned out the guy accidentally shot himself with a homemade zip gun and the people on the scene assumed it was his cell phone which got wasted in the process.
