Improving battery life on the G1

The battery life doesn't seem to be outstanding, but I did find that turning off wifi, gps, and security pattern improves the life a little bit. Also, make sure you are using a quality charger and not a cheap knockoff charger.

all this information is pretty much obvious to users..

the battery defenitly needs to be upgraded.

There are several after market extended batteries available, if you don't mind additional thickness on the the back end of the phone.

I never really thought of it before, but I suppose i should check to see if the Magic's battery (higher capacity than G1) will fit in the G1. hmmm.

lower the brightness of the screen, screen awake time and that should help.

how much do those batteries run

I had added a non-Gmail account and found that having it check for e-mail often really ate up the battery. Honestly, the non-Gmail mail support on the stock G1 is so poor (compared to my Blackberry, anyway), I just turned it off went with the Gmail exclusively.

That, and turning the screen brightness down have been the biggies for me.
