Is there something wrong with my iphone battery?

Q. I recently bought a used iphone off ebay. It is about 12 months old. I am just wondering my iphone usage is a little over 2 hours and my standby is 7 hours. And my battery life is around 33% at about 6.00. I fully charged it the night before and it was full battery in the morning. Would i need to change my iphone battery or is this normal?

A. i guess your battery's life span is over you should change a new battery

what product is good to make my iphones battery last longer?
Q. ive looked at the Griffin PowerBlock, and another one thats like $80! but was supposedly really good. But i just got the iphone 3GS and i didnt "kill the battery" the first time i got it, (is that event true? like you have to kill the battery inorder to have a longer battery life?) ...

anyways, which product/tips to you recommend, for my iphones battery life to last longer?

A. Charge it exclusively through a USB port on your computer. It will do a 'deep cycle charge' often that a 120V 60Hz wall outlet will not. Yes, killing the battery and charging it fully works with some cell phone batteries like Nickel Cadmium, But the technology of Lithium ion batteries has gotten pretty sophisticated recently.

Conserving iPhone battery: What's worse, charging your phone when it's not low battery?
Q. Or leaving it plugged in after it's fully charged overnight? I am trying to conserve my iPhone battery but I can't go on with like 40% the next day

Thanks in advance!

A. Depends on the battery and phone.

For example: If your phone uses a lithium-ion battery and the phone is fully charged, the charger will discontinue the charge and only engage when needed. In fact, most cell phones today have this feature.

To help conserve your battery, do not to let it sit undercharged for too long. The reason is, when a battery sits undercharged for a length time the will battery eventually self-discharge (die) and this is much worse than using the phone until the battery is fully discharged (dead). Also, constantly using your phone until the battery is discharged with shorten the life span.

So...

Try to keep your phone with decent charge as much as possible (about 40%). So if you are at the Mall for example and you see your battery is very low, find an outlet and let it charge for a bit. When you go to bed, plug it in. Remember, try your best not let the phone stay undercharged for any length of period so it does not self-discharge when not in use.

Lastly, avoid extreme temperatures. Like leaving your phone in a hot car (windows rolled up in the hot sun) for an extended period or in freezing conditions (exposed) for extended period. If you are in the freezing temperatures, keep the phone near your body under your jacket.
