Hi guys i have just got new 6700 great phone. Just wondering if the battery is the same type as the one in the nokia 6300. I know the one in the 6300 you dont need to let it run down before charging it. Is it the same for the 6700. Cheers Andy

Hi,

I think the last chap mis-understood your query. The batteries are different in that you can not swap them between the two handsets but the technologies used to manufacture both are the same (LI-Polymer) and as such they do not suffer from memory affect. They should easily take 500-1000 full charge-discharge cycles before you start noticing overall battery life reducing.

Remember that these handsets are now being sold with 18/24 month contracts so should be good enough to last this period without too much hassle.

the answer was no so it means they are not the same there is no misunderstanding

Oops my mistake. The 6300 battery is Li-Ion and the 6700 is Li-Polymer. Having said that, neither suffer memory issues so no need to follow a vigorous battery regime.
