When is charging complete?, Discharging NiMH batteries

When is charging complete?

When the charge indicators stop scrolling, your phone is considered fully charged. However, a slight increase in charge may occur if your phone is left connected to the charger for a while. This is called “trickle charge.”

Charging times depend on the type of battery and charger used.

For approximate charging and operating times, see “Standby and Talk Times” on page 73.

Can you make calls while charging?

Yes, you can. But your battery may not charge while a call is in progress. Charging should resume once you end the call.

Discharging NiMH batteries

A NiMH battery lasts longer and performs better if you fully discharge it from time to time. To discharge the battery, leave your phone switched on until the battery is drained. The phone will display several messages that the battery is low and that you need to recharge it; just ignore them. Do not attempt to discharge the battery by any other means.
