LG VX-8300
first charge
just got this phone and i think its awesome...just 1 question, i didnt notice it saying how long the first charge should be for anywere in the book so how long does the first charge haveto be? also does overcharging the bettery affect it?
...
Are you sure St 13, because i had the 8100 and used to charge it overnight every night and after about 9 months it stopped holding a full charge, after 10 mins of v-cast the battery would be completely drained. I brought this to the attention of a rep and they told me that charging it over night would, in the long term, adversely affect battery life, while others said that it was simply a bum battery, anyone have some insight? I'm afraid to keep the 8300 on the charger overnight. Thanks guys

Thats because lithium batteries have charging "cycles". I would let the battery run down to atleast 1 bar before I recharged it. You can't leave them on your home charger too long, but you don't need to leave it on the car charger for more than an hour.
