to be honest there is no real reason why charging would improve the battery

at all, even if you fully discharge the phone and recharge, this was a method

used on an older battery type that was said to suffer from battery memory effect "Nicd"

 

the battery in the 5800 is a modern Lithium-ion pack and is a totally different battery 

 

 

here is a a guide the shows you how to do most of the setting talked about in this thread

Even lithium-based batteries need to go through a few full charge/discharge cycles to reach optimum capacity. What sets lithium-based batteries apart from nickel-based ones is:

1) Nickel batteries should always be discharged before recharging them while lithium batteries like being charged as often as possible.

2) They have different charging methods.

3) Lithium batteries should be stored about 40% charged while nickel batteries should be stored depleted.

4) Lithium batteries are less prone to memory effect than nickel batteries, but it does happen sometimes. The cure is the same, a few full charge/discharge cycles and they're as good as new.

Hi Sue, I didnt know any other way to contact you, so here goes.

I have a Gateway AR230 DVD recorder (like a lite-on 5005)

and my door slide quit opening. I read your post about the SHW 160P6s

working in these machines. I have located one but it has a PC face on it.

Can I just remove it, and it will work? or are there others that will work that are easier to find?

 

dont get to techinal on me I'm 75 and not very pc smart.

 

thanks for any help.
