Standby
and Talk Times (Cell Phones, Mobiles and Handys)
Outlined are cell
phone battery talk time and standby you might expect to get. Standby
times are always difficult to estimate. Standby time and talk time
can vary because of what type of phone you have, geography, strength
of signal, your service provider, etc. Estimates for standby and talk
time explained are very conservative.
Cell Phone Battery standby and talk times are also affected by a number
of variables such as Digital vs. Analog, NiMH vs. Li-ION, Model and
Age of Phone, Temperature, and Humidity. Standby and Talk Times are
determined industry wide by a mathematical equation and can vary plus
or minus by as much as 40% depending on the factors mentioned above.
Not all phone models are built alike. Some phone models, such as the
Nokia 5100/6100 series, will get twice as much standby time as listed
on the chart below. Your phone model will get at least as much standby
and talk time as is listed below.
Analog vs. Digital Phones - Analog phones can use up to 2 times more
power than Digital phones. Some newer phones automatically switch
between Analog and Digital signals. Standby and Talk Time will vary
greatly for these phones depending on the amount of time each signal
is utilized.
NiMH vs. Li-Ion Batteries -Li-Ion batteries will typically provide
30% - 40% more Standby and Talk Time than NiMH batteries of the same
capacity (measured in mAh - mili-amp-hours).
Note: mAh – stands for "milli Amp hours" and is the
measurement of a battery’s storage capacity.
Standby and Talk Times are slightly different
for different batteries. The following list is an indication of average
Standby and Talk Times (+/- 10%). Please note that some models of
phones have extremely good power management. For example, the Nokia
5100/6100 series of phones can expect to get as much as twice the
standby time as what is listed in the table!
