  • 12. @13:45: Please don't advise people to clean their cellphone battery contacts with acetone or nail polish remover. This could not only damage the battery housing but also eat through the internal ribbon cable risking a short. In the EXTREMELY unlikely event that any manufacturers are still using contacts from phone to battery made of metals that are sufficiently dissimilar to cause corosion then club soda, sparkling water, or any carbonated beverage can be used to instantly dissolve it.

  • 10. @9:45 & 9:50 Wrong. Just all completely wrong.

    11. @11:05 The heat from the bathroom while showering will only damage your battery if you are showering with water at or near boiling such that the ambient temp in the bathroom is sufficient to heat your phone beyond 140 degrees F. The "steam" from a shower will have no effect on your battery itself, even if it wasn't protected by the phone's casing.

  • 8. @9:22 5-6 hours?? Again, depends on the capacity of the battery and the output of the charger. Let it charge until the phone registers it as full. The process is automatic.

    9. @ 9:33 Where the heck are you getting your info?! Charge completion and termination for l-ion/poly batteries is determined by voltage level. At 4.2v the phone will report a full charge and the PCB on the battery will disconnect the charge circuit. Leaving it on longer will do NOTHING except power the phone directly.

  • 5. @8:38 No. Wrong.

    6. @8:50 Wrong again. This is a tip that applies to battery builders only, since all consumer lithium ion & lithium polymer batteries have built-in protection modules which prevent them from being discharged to unhealthy levels.

    7. @9:06 Myth. Let it fully drain as often as you like. The PCB inside the battery will not allow it to drain to a damaging or dangerous level. Cell phone batteries are designed with preset limits for healthy charge/discharge cycles.

  • 2. @8:12 : WOAH. STOP IT! 16 hours? Where do you get

    this figure? You can't just arbitrarily pick a number like that. Charge time depends on the capacity of the battery and the output of the

    charger.

    3. @8:14 : There's no need to initiate refresh cycles on NiMH batteries unless they've been in storage for years. NiCD's should be refreshed initially or if stored inactive for 12+ months.

    4. @8:25 : It's been decades since that was true. Modern Ni-XX batteries can be charged at ANY state.

  • Nearly everything stated from 8 minutes-on is entirely false. I will list the corrections in order. Please consider re-making this video after you have read my corrections because it is all horribly inaccurate and at times dangerously so.

    1. @8:05 : There's no such thing as nickel ion

    batteries. Theres nickel cadmium (NiCd) and nickel metal hydride (NiMH), or in rare cases nickel

    zinc (NiZn).

  • @kornrockshard Yes, lithium ION are the most common...charge it as long as possible. Its recommend to go 8 to 12 hours.

  • @wirelessground The new battery is 3.7V Lithium ION polymer battery.is this the type of battery you are talking about in your last repley to me? charge 8 hours for extend batterys too?

  • @wirelessground The new battery is 3.7V Lithium ION polymer battery.is this the type of battery you are talking about in your last repley to me?
