I hope I've put this in the right place.
I have a Nokia C2 mobile phone, just an ordinary one because I don't need anything else and the signal here is rubbish anyway so I can hardly use it, that I bought about 15 months ago for its excellent camera more than anything.
It worked fine up until a couple of weeks ago then the battery suddenly started to run down very quickly. I priced another battery locally - ludicrous as France almost always is - so I got my son to pick up one for me from the Bay of Evil at 3 quid plus postage.
It arrived no problem and when I charged it as instructed and put it in the phone it lasted 4 days on standby and a couple of texts, which is better than the original one ever did. Then, suddenly, it died. I charged it again and it lasted a day without losing any charge, then died again within an hour.
Is this what Chinese lithium-ion batteries do? Or is there, perhaps, something wrong with the phone or is it doing something I don't know about? Should I bother trying to get another replacement battery or just chuck the phone away?
In the meantime, I put my SIM card in my well-worn old Samsung C700, that hasn't been used for more than a year, the battery of which seems to be working perfectly.
Technology really get me down these days. The blinking car is more clever than I.
