Extend Your Cell Phone's Battery Life-16
And lastly....
Even if you do as much as possible to extend the life of your battery, you can't make it live forever. But when your battery dies, don't just chuck it in the trash, since today's batteries are made with some heavily toxic chemicals that leach out of land fills and can make their way into our food and water supply. Most electronics stores and cell phone operators have recycling programs in place. Ask your cell phone operator what to do with your old battery (or old cellphone), so these toxins don't end up in your glass of water.

Yes, those are all good tips to preserve the life of a cell phone battery, but the best tip not mentioned because they want to make more money off of you in battery sales is: Do not use a cell phone car charger unless it is an emergency and if you do, only use it for 30 minutes. It super charges the battery and will damage it!

These tips were great, but I need the cell phone on vibrate to be able to know when someone is IMing me or emailing me or sending me text messages, so I put the vibrate on a low level so I hope that helps save the battery! Any suggestions since I cannot hear the phone ring or anything. I am hearing-impaired. :) Thanks for the tips!

Not to mention the enjoyment that having your phone vibrate brings to you, ESPECIALLY if you're getting a lot of calls.

Those are good tips, some apply to me but some won't help. I put my phone on house charger every night by my bedside because my son in law is in Iraq and grandson in Kosovo and I need to know immediately if there should be a problem.
With all the research being done on new batteries, surely the newest ones coming out will last much longer.
