Staying Mobile – Replacing Your Cell Phone Battery
By Eric Comforth

There are plenty of cell phone replacement battery selections out there, some higher than others. Here we tend to can explore a few of the choices out there.
Essentially, there are four different sorts of mobile phone battery:
• Nickel Cadmium Batteries (NiCd): These are the oldest sort of cellular phone battery. To counter the matter of “memory effect” that lessens the lifetime of the battery, they have to be absolutely discharged before being recharged. This is obviously more time consuming and lessens the potency of the cell phone.
• Nickel Metal Hydride Batteries (NiMH): Developed in the 1990s. These batteries are a lot of economical than the NiCd type. Though susceptible to some memory effect, they’re quicker to recharge than the NiCd and have a battery life up to twice as long.
• Lithium Ion Batteries (Li-Ion): Lithium Ion Batteries are the foremost fashionable telephone batteries today. They’re lighter than the NiMH, don’t suffer from memory effect and have a 30% longer life.
• Lithium Polymer Battery (Li-Poly): This is the latest cell phone battery technology on the market. Li-Poly batteries enable the most compact of cell phones and their lifespan is a ton of than twice that of Lithium Ion batteries.
It is necessary that the battery you choose is compatible along with your cell phone. This could continually be the one recommended by the telephone’s manufacturer and is the most effective method to ensure that each battery and phone are operating at their optimum performance level.
There have, unfortunately, been incidents where cell phones exploded and caused injury due to overheating and poor quality batteries. Several inferior quality batteries are, in fact, fraudulent copies of name name mobile phone batteries.
Companies like Nokia, Samsung and Motorola are among the various brands that these low-cost cell phone batteries have sought to copy.
Nokia, in its 2003 article entitled “Battery Safety – Issues and Prevention” discusses the growing market in fraudulent batteries. It notes thirty to forty battery explosions reported by Nokia customers. In every of these cases, the battery concerned was found to be a non-original battery or fraudulent copy of a Nokia telephone battery.
Nokia goes on to tell the reader of some signs to look out for when buying a replacement mobile phone battery. Observe the label. Is it crooked? Are any words misspelled? Are the words: “Made in China” on the label? If the solution to any of those questions is “yes” the battery is kind of definitely a forgery.
The safest way to purchase a replacement cell phone battery is to try to to so through the manufacturer or an authorised dealer. To try to to otherwise is to place yourself and, indeed, anyone else who may have access to your cell phone, subject to an inferior battery with presumably dangerous consequences.
So, the time has come back for your devoted Communications Assistant to get a whole new lease of life – or a minimum of a replacement mobile phone battery.
To stay the lines of communication open, opt for wisely.
