crackberry battery help??

**Capt. Tom** · 03-03-2011, 10:40 AM

Battery used to last all day no problem. Maybe would would be at half charge when I would plug it in before bed.

For the last two days it has been dying in less than 4hrs from when it would come off the charger. Browser is not open and have not changed phone use practices.

It is about 7 months old or so.

Any suggestions???

Wife had that problem with her Blackberry after about 12 months of ownership. Got a replacement battery off Amazon for around $3.

Problem solved.

No, very rarely!

I did not realize they were that cheap to get replacement batteries. If that is the case I will just order a few and be done with it!

Do you possibly have one of your GPS or weather apps. open? Those GPS apps kill mine quick.

Seems like Verizon wanted $30 or $40 for it. Amazon was the way to go.

yeah definitely don't get a new battery from verizon, they'll screw you six ways from sunday. i was going to say that if it was on the car charger then that will kill a battery pretty quickly. amazon or ebay.
