I think they took ALOT of backlash for it. So it's much cheaper now. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ou812 Posted July 28 Report Share Posted July 28 but does it only charge 500 times?18 months according to that. I guess it depends on how much you use it. I had someone say it lasted about a year. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bklynzzfinest Posted July 28 Report Share Posted July 28 For the Ignorant who said batteries cost $2... Its an internal rechargable battery. Not AA batteries from Rite Aid.As for the battery it depends how, and how often you use it. Just like any rechargable battery. Even $4,000 laptops need new batteries after a while.IF you use the battery until its dead (EVERY TIME) then charge it, it will last alot longer than it will if you charge it when the battery is 1/2 full all the time. Basically this helps prevent the battery from creating a "Memory" and makes it last alot longer.There is no possible way to put a number on how many time you can charge the battery. If you follow what I said above you will probably be able to charge it like 1,500 times, otherwise it could range from 400 - 1000 depending on usage, etc. So to answer your original question... NO its not true that you can only charge it 500 times, then you have to replace it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
