I would like to stick with phones that have removable batteries, but upgrading through Verizon is a bit sketchy as I would rather keep my grandfathered unlimited data plan and I would rather not be paying full retail for a flagship phone. I figure with a phone that was this cheap I would be able...

Yea, I think that removable batteries is the way to go. I went for this phone solely because I was able to get it for so cheap with the Amazon discounts, however I think that it may still be possible, just not practical, to remove/replace the battery in this phone. As I mentioned I went through...

I have been reading at that battery university site you linked earlier and I found a couple interesting snippets on the charging lithium ion batteries page. Additionally, I'm not sure if the included charger will fall into the "lower-cost consumer" category, but this information does seem to...

Alright, that makes sense. So, I'd assume that the added heat from using the phone while charging could negatively impact the battery, so the phone should be powered down or idling when charging, correct? Does the charge current have any negative effect on the battery life? In my previous post I...

I have a charger from an old camera that outputs 5v at 0.5a that I think I may turn into my overnight charger. I just did a full charge with the turbo charger and I do seem to be loosing battery a bit faster than I did yesterday when I fully charged it with a 0.75a charger.

So, considering heat is the enemy, would it be wise to get a lower powered charger that may only put out something like 0.25C (or even less) and let it sit overnight and charge? Also, what about lowering the voltage over lowering the current? Would a 3 volt charger be a good idea (assuming...

Now, is that just because you think that will be better for the battery, or is it something you actually researched?

Well, I just got a new phone and it included a Turbo Charging power brick (phone is a Moto G4) that seems to work by bumping the voltage up to 9v at 1.2a or 12v at 1.2a. That being said, what are the current thoughts on how this will impact the battery. I have heard that it will lead to poor...
