I hope this does not in any way in the long run affect the phone or the battery's life span?

I think it can affect the battery life span on both batteries if you use it as a charger because the charger -while being full charged- can only charge your phone to 50% this has one count on the battery charger. It means your charger has to go two cycles in order to produce a full charge to your phone but all these could be overcome if you use the charger as a backup and swap the batteries when needed instead.

It has been a good back up and works well. It charges the existing battery in the phone while providing the additional power.

I haven't found that it does, although I don't tend to use the charger to also charge the phone at the same time, as one can. Instead, I simply use the charger to charge an extra battery while I'm using the phone, and carry it around with me. If I have a particularly heavy day, I'll just swap out the battery from the phone and substitute the fully charged battery from the charger, then when I get home, use the charger to recharge the depleted battery.

I have not experienced this problem but this is a second phone so does not get used constantly.

I have not noticed a battery drainage problem on either the phone or the scale

I'm seeing this same issue. After having Sprint test the original battery and confirming that it failed their test and buying a replacement battery on Amazon, the issue persists with using the latter. I'm assuming that it isn't an issue with the battery, but the phone itself draining the battery's life.

It all has to do with preserving battery life would be my thought. More power to you!

I'm guessing it's a marketing thing because my phone hasn't had any battery life improvement. But then again, that's just based on my experience.

It should hold its charge twice as long as your phone dormant or not, the item may be defective

No, you take your phone to an authorized representative and have your battery replaced. Have owned mine for 10 months, no hint if any battery issue.

I believe It will not harm the battery if it is left in charger all the time, because when Green Light on the charger is on it stops charging.

I haven't had any problems yet but would assume that if it's not the batteries, it probably needs to be replaced.

Hi Marie. With my phone I haven't had those kind of issues. The only problem I've faced is that the battery seems to last a lot less now (understandable, given the fact that the cellphone is a little old now) Did you try using another charger, cable or even a computer? If so, and the problem persists, it could be: 1. the battery or 2. the actual port of the phone. For #1 I've seen some batteries not that expensive in Amazon, but again, if the problem is #2 you may want to look for a technician or start searching for another phone. These things are sturdy, but unfortunately, nothing nowadays is designed to last more than 2-3 years. I'm sorry if I can't be more helpful. Bye.

Most likely you will need to replace the battery for the same reasons stated by the others.

I don't think you're going to find anything that will last much longer than the battery they give you. If you do, let me know!

My phone is working well with the new battery. I accidently dropped it in the toilet on the way to Lewiston, Id and couldn't get a battery locally. Hope this helps you as I'm not good with electronics. They've passed me by!!

I have used the phone for several months and have not had any particular problems with it. It gets a little slow sometimes but I could probably fix it if I knew better what I was doing.

It could be your specific battery. I had that phone for years and never had that problem.
