Your mobile phone battery may not be the most exciting feature on your mobile but it is one of the most important in ensuring that your phone is a reliable communication tool.
There are two main types of phone batteries: NiMH and lithium ion. NiMH batteries are more affordable while offering a decent battery life. Lithium ion batteries, while more expensive, weigh less making them ideal for cell phones and are also environmentally friendly since they don’t contain mercury or cadmium.
When buying a phone, check out both how much talk time and standby time (when the mobile is switched on but not in use) you obtain on a fully-charged battery. These range from 3 hours of talk and 150 hours of standby to around 9 hours of talk and 400 hours of standby on phones like the Sony Ericsson Z520a. If you like to talk for a long time, obviously talk time is important. If you travel a lot and regular recharging is inconvenient you might worry more about standby time.
Another factor that you should check out is how long the battery takes to recharge and whether a rapid charger is available.
