Battery drains with in 4 hours, cell gets heated during call

In most newer vehicles there is a built-in battery drain caused by features that have a "memory" such as your radio.
Especially in cold weather, that drain is too much for a marginal battery to deal with.
If you are charging the battery by running the engine, that won't help. The battery needs to be fully charged with a battery charger. Load test the battery after charging. If it fails or comes up as marginal, replace it. otherwise, you will need to begin testing for an excessive power drain.

the one I had charged better on the computer over the wall outlet.

just update the software and replace the battery(if its in warrranty period) from ne service centre..
charge the new battery 4 six hrs nd den 4 second time charging let it b empty...do the same for 2-3 charging period den d battery life will b enhanced

I may know the problem, in my opinion there could be two possible things worng with your "Nokia 5800". One is that your fan(inside the phone) is not working properly. you should get it checked at your local cell phone repair shop. the other less likely problem is that you have a wrong type of battery in your phone. witch can also be fixed at a cell phone repair shop

it realy soun sounds like liquid damage, take it in for repairs, if you wnat to try youreself open the phone wash it with metholated sprirts and see you should be able to see the damage white powder like

THE BATTERS ARE DESIGNED TO WORK ON STAND BY FOR ABOUT 3 DAYS BUT THE MORE YOU USE IT THE FASTER IT DRAINS TALK TIME ABOUT 18 HOURES CHARGE EVEY NITE SHOULD SOLVE THE PROBLEM

Hello dogwillhunt,

It is normal for a two-way radio to generate some heat, especially during extended periods of long talk time. Consumer two-way radios tend to be much more susceptible to this because they tend to be constructed out of materials that do not dissipate heat very efficiently, such as polycarbonate and plastic. Periods of heavy transmit times also use additional power, causing the radio’s batteries to run down more quickly and require replacement or recharge. Use of the display backlight feature can generate additional heat and run the unit out of battery power even more quickly.

If the radio is heating up excessively and burning through batteries (pardon the pun) in situations where you are not using the LCD backlight excessively or transmitting for long periods of time, this may be indicative of a problem with the unit that would require service, such as a short or defective component. If such is the case, I would recommend contacting the manufacturer.

this problem can be caused by many factors. Use of the phone can drain battery life for example if you use the phone for browsing the web or as an mp3 player, even to make or recieve calls the battery life will not be as long as it would if just on standby. also if the battery hasn't been conditioned or is being over charged this can also lead to short battery life.To resolve the problem try conditioning th battery, basically let the charge drain completely out of the phone until the phone actually switches off, then charge the phone for 24 hours. Next time the battery goes ded only charge for the recommended charging time (this info can be found either in your phone user guide or by contacting the customer service department of your network provider).
