Your battery is doing better than my S3 battery. 1 1/2 hours of doing nothing, with all extra signals off, I'd be at about 60%, no exaggeration.

:pacspit: @ the thread title though

You gotta replace your battery every 6 months or so

Lithium batteries die faster over time

My Note 2 battery would last 2 days when I first got it then after about 6 months it would only last a day...A year later and I'm getting about 10 hours on my OG battery

Copped a new battery now it's back to charging my phone once every other day

Thats actually terrible. There are two types of Lithium batteries, lithium polymer and lithium-ion. The Galaxy 3 likely came with the Ion variant, which is cheaper

Yea these phones use ion batteries

I actually found this out a couple years ago when I was trying to find out why my MyTouch 4G kept dying so fast

That's why I don't cop phones that don't have a removable battery

A lot of phones are moving in the removable direction. Just be sure that it includes a polymer battery instead of an ion type

A lot of people charge their batteries wrong though and that's the problem.

Try charging it to full, letting it drop down to about 10% then doing what's known as a maintenance charge... 100% +

Once you do that you should really only charge between about 40 and 80%. Then do the maintenance charge once a month.

This is recommended for any battery but I know most won't heed this post. :manny:
