Lumia 620 - Battery query

[Shingen]

Battery at 55% .... mainly used wifi all day and streamed about an hour of netflix.....so far so good imo

At the end of the day, the 620 is a very low cost phone that packs a decent punch, the battery isn't going to be the best in the world and that's to be expected for it's size and price but it's more than adequate for moderate use. If you are a heavy user get a higher capacity battery or a second battery, it's that simple.

Shingen,

thanks for the info.

I have to say, I like the phone a lot now I'm getting used to it (my first smart phone) and was thinking of getting a spare battery anyway for those "long days". I would be interested in your final thoughts as to how it compares to the original battery, i.e. should I just get a genuine 1300 Nokia battery as a spare or does this one really last longer?

I've some questions :
News on this battery?
The build quality is good ? It seems safe ?

Thanks

Charlie55. yes the exact same one....it came in a factory sealed antistatic bag, doesn't get any hotter than the supplied one,in the end it had done 14hrs and was at 10% then the phones screen shut off but i was listening to music via bluetooth and that kept going so i put it back on charger.I'm going to run it like a dog all weekend and push it harder,saftey wise,yeah its a battery,no hotter than any other seems ok..time will tell.

i bought a new (1320mAH BL-5J) battery yesterday and my question is :
is it really safe to use a more powerful battery than the original one ?

I have surprisingly found the battery life on the 620 very good. It seems to be very battery efficient the S4 processor. I easily have about40% left by 8pm and lasts the day and past midnight. I have had the phone on 100% for over an hour after some usage. Really am pleasantly surprised with it

still curious about that 2000 and something 3rd part battery... if you guys could post some more feedback.
thanks a lot in advance.

 

[Shingen]

Well it seems to last about 14hrs total depending on usage which compared to the supplied one is about 6 hrs more.

hi...i just got nokia lumia 620 last friday...though the phone is amazing...was being to get little worried about the battery...i havent started using the net and apps much...jus few phone calls and messages...but, i find that the battery drains, even if i dont use it...is it normal?..or is it because the battery is defective?..please give ur suggestions and comments on this....

An example of what i am facing...The battery remaining is 74% and the estimated time left is shown as 5 hours and time since last charge is 2 hours....This is one case that i faced...(sorry could not take a screenshot of this though)....

At first, use it as you normally do and charge when needed. Give it at least a week. In the beginning mine took a while to break in and keep the charge longer.

If I leave it on standby, it has really good battery life.
Case and point? I left my Lumia 620 with 20% of battery left and when I woke up ten hours later, it still had 10% left. That's with 4 bars of HSPA signal and cellular data set to on and 3G.

If I use it heavily however, still better than the iPhone 5. 5 hours of 3G talk time and GBA gaming with loud music from the loudspeaker and still have 20% left.

 

[Carlos Cl]

any effective alternatives to the original batteries?

 

[jhdutch95]

constant use of internet browsing/twittering on 3g only makes my phone last about 3 to 4 hour max...
is it normal?

now im using sunglobal battery (1850 mah)

 

[jhdutch95]

[TheLuminis620]

When did you change to Sunglobal battery? Just give it some time and it should be fine.
