The best idea yet, prolonging a batteries life is really a waste. Replacement batteries are CHEAP enough and I'm talking about OEM batteries. I paid $10 for 2 motorola batteries.

If your OEM batteries are years old, they're not going to perform at 100% capacity. Lithium Ion batteries decay over time from manufacture so if you want a fresh single battery you're better off buying as new as possible.

I always heard you weren't supposed to charge your phone until the battery was on the last bar. Otherwise you'll shorten the battery life.
Yep...

Nice informative article!
I just purchased a laptop. Don't want to mess up my 9 cell battery.

However, I have not experienced any battery life problem with my cellphones yet...

Wow, very informative. I certainly was not aware of the huge effect temperature has on the life of my battery.
