Hey there!
I have a nokia 6230b, and I noticed that my battery life is very short compared to my 3595. I usually get 1-2 days at the most. I have bought 3 new batteries and the best I get is 48 hours. The old ones give only 8 hours or so. What could be eating up my battery ? Is it bluetooth? I have read this phone is supposed to last at least a week with a new battery... by the way I only speak like 20 mins a day at the MOST. thanks!!!!

Re: Battery Life 6230
It's a common knowledge that Nokia's cellphone battery and I've heard a lot about 6230's battery life problem. Do you try switching from original 32MB MMC to 512MB/1G? I've read in a forum before that by doing this it might reduce the battery life.

Re: Battery Life 6230
The battery in your Nokia 6230 (the BL-5C) has 850 mAh - this number is a measurement of talk time and standby time. With this, you are looking at right around 2 hours and 45 minutes of talk time and 43-44 hours of standby time. If you are not getting this, it may be a faulty battery. Bluetooth devices definitely drain battery life. One tip for charging your battery: Li-Ion batteries prefer frequent partial charges rather than being run all the way down and charged fully back up again - this should help your battery life.

Some ways to save battery is to turn off bluetooth, and decrease backlight timer to increase standby time.

Re: Battery Life 6230
And also remember to get your phone when it is done charging. Overcharging also ruins the battery life.
