Cell phone battery.
If your cell phone uses either a Nickel Metal Hydride (NiMH) or Nickel Cadmium (NiCad) battery, you will need to condition that battery before you start using it regularly on your device. Conditioning a phone's battery ensures the maximum amount of talk and standby time is allowed and helps ensure a longer lasting overall battery life.
Instructions
Conditioning Cell Phone Batteries
1. Turn your phone off.
2. Plug in a regular speed charger. It is not recommended that you use a rapid charger on these type of batteries. Your phone probably came with a regular charger.
3. Plug the phone into the charger for 24 hours. Do not use the phone during this time. Make sure to leave the phone in the off position.
4. Turn the phone on after 24 hours and continue to use the device until it completely shuts off (battery is completely dead).
5. Repeat the 24 hour battery charge cycle process three to five times.
6. Make sure to fully drain the phones battery every 15-20 uses to keep the batteries conditioning in place.
