is it true that if you charge your cell for a certain amount of time ..then it wont be able to charge ever again? and is it the same with ipods? because my friends ipod cant charge cause she said she has charged it for a certain amount of time.. i was just wondering if this was true or not for the cell phone..
and i have the razor one from cingular if that helps
LOL_x0x answered Monday June 26 2006, 1:21 pm: Th iPods only have a certain number of charge cycles they can go through. So if you use that amount, which you can find on the apple website, then you need a new iPod.
I don't think it's the same with cell phones.
hope it helps

haloguy answered Monday June 26 2006, 10:33 am: No, it is not possible. Your phone/iPod stops taking in energy once it is fully charged. If you look on the screen while it's charging, eventually it says "charged". This means it's done. [ haloguy's advice column | Ask haloguy A Question ]
clearlypink428 answered Sunday June 25 2006, 9:00 pm: i have a pink razor phone- and i think i also have the answer to your qquestion. my jerk of a dad used to sell cingular phones a long while back. they say that its recommended that you dont charge it while youre sleeping, but rather while youre getting ready in the morning, or in the shower, etc. because if you charge it often, longer than it needs to be charged- the batery will wear down. im not sure if the same goes for your ipods, but it would only make sense to me that it does. good luck, and i hope i helped!

To stop this yu should wait till it fully dies to charge it and then when you do charge it just do it over night and then take it off in the morjing. Thats what i do . I have cingualr too and its fine.
Moop answered Sunday June 25 2006, 7:26 pm: rechargeable batteries can't hold a charge after a certain amount of activity. they deteriorate slower than normal batteries, but they do detiorate. last year my iPod could hold a full 18 hour charge and now I get about 10 if I just play music. when it gets down to less than five hours I'll probably buy a new battery and have it installed.
ALL rechargeable batteries deteriorate. lithium ion batteries (like in the iPods) are best used in short bursts with frequent rechargings. most phones run on NiCad (Nickel-Cadmium) batteries which are better to run down then recharge fully (not every day).

Notso answered Sunday June 25 2006, 6:34 pm: I don't think charging would be the problem with your friends iPod. I leave my iPod to charge over night, sometimes all day. It stops charging and turns off once it's done. Sometimes, even if I don't need to charge it, I'll just plug it into my computer to upload songs, and then leave it. I've had no issues with it what so ever. So I don't think it would be a problem with a cell phone either. [ Notso's advice column | Ask Notso A Question ]
xomegaroni answered Sunday June 25 2006, 6:18 pm: ehh i kind've doubt that. maybe if you charged it for like a day er something. it could probably make the battery worse but im not sure about not being able to ever charge it again. ipods are a bit different than cell phones. juss make sure that when you do charge it it's almost dead er has a half a bar er something & you don't overcharge it over the same period of time. like you shouldn't leave your phone charged even when its full. other than that it should be fine.
