Hot Battery

Two month old V3.

Battery dies quickly the day after being charged up the night before, and
phone is very hot.

Is it:

a) A duff battery
b) A duff phone
c) A temporary one-off which I should not worry about

???

Cheers
Lofty

Quite likely, it's b. There was a time, awhile back, that some Motorola
phones had bad batteries, plus needed firmware updates. It's long enough
ago that I don't recall if the two coincided. But, more recently, the XM
satellite radio MyFi had a similar battery problem -- heating & short
charge, potential fire hazard. The situation was bad enough that XM
replaced all the MyFi batteries for free. Although not the exact battery
in my V551, it was similar.
