Help Battery replacement

alster

Newbie
Over the last 2-3 months or so, my orig battery (2010) got to the point where I couldn't send/recv more than 2 or 3 txts before the phone would simply turn off (not gracefully either-- just OFF).

I just got a replacement (extended) battery BH6X popped it in and started with an 80% charge. It's finally down to about 15% now (36 hrs later; light usage).

Do I/Should I have to do anything special to get the new battery calibrated?

I have Battery Calibrate and Easy Battery Calibration apps on my phone which I was utilizing for the original battery when I began noticing problems a few months ago.

Should I use them for the new battery? Or will the system take care of itself just by running the new battery to graceful shutdown and a full recharge once?

rooted and still "frozen" on 2.3.3 (4.5.605).. (which I need to figure out a safe upgrade path to "more current" OS afterwards)
 
Google engineers have previously debunked the battery calibration apps.

The battery stats get reset each time you charge the phone.

I'd say you're good to go :thumbup:
