How long can you go on a full charge? - Motorola Q Forum

How long can you go on a charge and what usage and battery are you using.

I'd like to get an idea of which battery to get.

This is for my wife and generally she has light usage. 1/2-1 hr talk time per day. She'd like a min of 2 days per charge ideally 3 days. With her fusic she would charge twice a week. Didn't know if I could squeak by with 1640mah battery.

Also most of her talk time is over bluetooth headset.

Also if anyone has tips or must do's to save battery I'd very much appreciate it.

I have the MOL3 ROM installed. I only have 1 application installed and that's Mapopolis (GPS navigation software).

i forgot to charge from friday night, and didn't saturday night and i still had juice sunday to do stuff, actually 2 bars. have to add, i only pickup email twice 'cuz i don't really use Gmail.. but, yah.. so now you understand at this point i have no real need for a extended battery.

o, and sunday afternoon i sat outside for about an hour and a half w/ Max playing and i was listening to music on the Q.

wow
im impressed....i guess the email really does suck battery...
somtimes it gets stuck pulling data for no reason which probably attributes to the problem

2-2.5 days is what I'm looking for with light usage. But bluetooth is on and most calls are over bluetooth headset. But she can't seem to get through a day with stock battery.

My wife doesn't use internet yet. I mainly got it for her so she could do gps navagation in a pinch which she really likes and does use on occasion. And with SERO plan data plan was free.
