Cellular Phone Forum / Providers / Sprint PCS / July 2007treo battey life
what is the normal life for a Treo battery? my wife's treo 600 has been used for over 2 years and I believe the battery is getting weak it needs to be charged a couple of times daily. she uses the phone in her business-it is used a lot. thanks > what is the normal life for a Treo battery? > [quoted text clipped - 5 lines] > > thanks On my 700w which checks mail from an Exchange server with wireless ActiveSync and also checks a POP3 account for new mail every five minutes, I swap the battery out twice a day with my external charger. > what is the normal life for a Treo battery?

Over the last 10 years or so of using both types of batteries in cell phones, notebooks and such I've experienced this level of life from these batteries (excepting a few that died young and a couple, like my Compaq laptop that lasted over 1000 cycles). I think it's time to get her a nice present of a new battery for her Treo (or maybe break down and get her a 755?). Regards, Bill Bowen Sacramento, CA thanks Bill- she is pretty satisfied with the 600. I wanted to get the 755 because my 2 year contract has been up for some time. But when I called Sprint they said $530 less $100 rebate. The internet has a deal for less than $300, but Sprint said for new customers only. The Treo has worked very well for her business purposes.
