Eris Battery

This is a discussion on Eris Battery within the HTC Droid Eris forums, part of the Verizon Android Phones category; Looks like this battery (@1300mAh) is smaller than the Sprint Hero. With the battery life issues they are having, what will happen here?...

    I noticed that too. I guess they did that to make the phone even slimmer, but I certainly would rather have a fatter phone with better battery life. Surely they have figured out a way to make better use of the battery if they were willing to put a smaller one in it.

    Well the moto droid only has a 1400mAh. It's all about the hardware that is sucking the battery that makes it go down so fast.
    Resistance is futile.

    I saw a battery charger on Fommy.com for the Droids battery, not sure if they have an Eris one though.

    battery life is pretty bad on the Eris IMO. I took it off the charger after 10 hours (it died completely last night) at 9am and by noon it was done to 10%. I am coming from BlackBerrys so I am used to crap battery, but this pretty darn bad. Glad I bought a car charger first thing

    In the users manual it says the battery might take several cycles of charging before functioning normally. So that might just be what is going on hopefully?
    Were you using it heavily during those three hours?

    It's usually a good idea to charge it fully once and let it go down to almost dead (or even let it die) once so that the battery can learn its maximum and minimum kinda. Then after that just charge it whenever you want but I heard that doing that process makes your battery last as long as it can.
