Spare battery holding charge - Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Guys,
I have used battery packs in the past, but found that if you charge them in the morning, a lot of its juice is gone by the time you go to use it in the evening. Would having a spare battery for my phone hold a charge much longer then the charging packs?

Its common thing actually. If battery charged for 100% and still connected to charger, it won't receive any current from charger. Which means battery starts discharging even when you connected to charger once 100% is reached. A short work around is there, just unplug the charger before 100%. I jus tested with 80-85% percentage, and found my battery level doesn't decreases for next two hours.
Edit:
Simple Guidelines for Charging Lithium-based Batteries
A portable device should be turned off while charging. This allows the battery to reach the threshold voltage unhindered and reflects the correct saturation current responsible to terminate the charge. A parasitic load confuses the charger.
Charge at a moderate temperature. Do not charge below freezing.
Lithium-ion does not need to be fully charged; a partial charge is better.
Chargers use different methods for “ready” indication. The light signal may not always indicate a full charge.
Discontinue using charger and/or battery if the battery gets excessively warm.
Before prolonged storage, apply some charge to bring the pack to about half charge.
Over-discharged batteries can be “boosted” to life again. Discard pack if the voltage does not rise to a normal level within a minute while on boost.
No warranty for all tips!

I have a issue here, yesterday I was skyping while connected to the charger for a bout 4 hours. Problem strated when I charge my phone again and it did not past 88%. I let the batt to fully 0% till unble to power up and put it to charge again. Again the charge would no go after 88%. Did clear batt stats in recovery but still failed. Any solution for this.

Battery charging

How much time i need to charge the xperia z for the first time ?
Sent from my GT-I9300 using xda app-developers app
So far, I charged mine or about 45 mins before turning it on using the wall charger, then let that drain to nothing, then did a USB charge which took a while (around 5 hours before the fully charged light came on) and now the battery seems pretty good and is getting better. Apparently it has a big impact on how you charge it, fast vs slow, for the first few times, so do some reading around if you havent already : )

Nothing
i didn't charge it first time before to turning on
and i believe it s old opinion to do first charging before turning on
i got this opinion for java phone 8-9 yrs ago
8hrs charging !!!!!!

Weird battery drain?

I put my phone on the charger last night at 1%, went to sleep. Woke up this morning and it was off. Turned it on while it was still on the charger and it was at 6% Notice on the far right of the screenshot it got fully charged then died on charger.

Also sometimes my phone likes to turn off by itself. Have to hold down volume down+power then let go of volume for it to come on.

Check for corrosion and gunk in your charging port and connector. If none found try a different charger. The picture you submitted shows a quite odd report. Also could try wiping battery stats... but I think you might need an unlocked phone for that.

I have a similar problem. It just started recently. I had 19% and then I dropped to 1%. I charged it and had to reboot my phone for something when it was 14% and when it turned back on, it was at 3%.

Has anyone tried another charger that has higher amp output, I use iPhone @ 1.5 amp charger and works great, also AHD phones need minimum .750 amp chager.
Has anyone tried also to re-calibrate battery?

I have. I had this issue just once, but after that, my battery life its been worse. I feel like I have a 20% of unused battery or something. I have calibrated it multiple times with no luck.
