Hello everyone,

I am looking to pick up a new W385. I have read a lot of reviews about bad or declining battery life. Can someone please tell me if this is a good phone to get, or have there been a lot of returns of it due to poor battery life.

Thanking you in advance.

W385 is a great phone.

If it has the new black labeled BT51 battery in it you should be fine.

With the recall last year on the older style battery they weren't so good.

My dad has one and it has been wonderful for him. Battery life is great and very functional..

The newer ones with the BT51 are great! I think the BT50 batteries have had those issues.

Also, don't overcharge that phone. 😎

Along with that ^

Remember not to buy "universal" cheap chargers for it. Moto's are really susceptible to overcharging batteries.

If you don't overcharge it, it's a decent phone.
