Samsung Galaxy Ace Battery Drains Too Quickly

[jocelyn162]

Hi. I have a samsung galaxy ace S5830, and I got a new battery four months ago. After recharging it last night (for only about 2hours), it said that it was fully charged so I unplugged it. The following morning, my cellphone tells me that it is very low on battery and asks me to recharge. However, I did not use it whatsoever during the night as it was off the whole time and I have no applications active throughout that time (I always kill all running applications after I'm done using them).
When I did recharge it, while on the charger, my phone repeatedly gives me the typical message that my battery is running low and that I should recharge it. It repeatedly shows this message whenever I simply picked up my cellphone while it was on charger.
My phone uses a Samsung 3.7v li-ion battery 1350maH.


Can anyone tell me what's wrong with my phone?

If this doesn't happen again, how do I best recharge my li-ion battery to prolong its battery health? (I already do everything I can to keep its battery runtime as long as possible by turning off 3G, Wifi, bluetooth, GPS, vibrate, and kept the screen brightness to darkest.
Does anyone have any li-ion battery recharging properly methods for me?
Thank you

It's really hard to say for sure. I have similar problems with mine, which I would fix if I could figure out how.

Misery loves company, so if you feel like an experiment, get a logging battery app. I use Battery Drain Monitor. See what the rate of decline is when it's sitting on the desk not being touched. It should be 1-2% discharge per hour.

If it's always higher then you probably have an app that is running.

Mine will be 1-2% when it's in a good mood, but will then for no apparent reason start drawing 17% per hour and stay that way until the battery is taken out. Turning it off doesn't even make it stop.

Maybe you should sign up for an account so you can move this thread to the Samsung Galaxy Ace section.
