I bought a nokia N70 and the battery didn't last more than a day or two. I bought a new batery and even it doesn't last. I did charge it for 8 hours before using it.

Any ideas?

Seems to be a common complaint, some tips here:-

I had the same problem, bought a genuine battery and still didnt last long at all , i thought the batteries were developing a memory as its known and werent taking full charge,,i have been a nokia man since the one you put back in a bucket after the call was made ! however the last 3 new ones i have had have been problematic and i have just bought the ipod phone, ( love it ) ,. nokia i feel is like mercedes and have lost there credability by trying to do the numbers game and hence quality has suffered,.oh well,

You should easily get 4 or 5 days from a charge. Your phone is supposed to have better battery life than my N-80 and I get 4 or 5 days. Have you ever updated the phone's firmware? I would try to update first and reset the phone to the original settings.

Check the "Made In ....." mark on the battery.

I have now got a "Made in Finland" battery that lasts well. On previous phones I have happily used "Made in Hungary" batteries.

But I try to avoid "Made in China" at all times - they have no staying power after a week or two of use.
