Battery life depends on individual usage. When used as a phone, your Treo battery provides up to 6 hours of talk time or up to 300 hours of standby time.

You can increase the life of your Treo battery by following a few easy guidelines. Remember that battery life depends on how you use your Treo.

If the battery is fully drained, it may take a few moments for the indicator light to turn on while charging.
