Galaxy s3 battery

wanttofish1

I have the gs3 for about 1 year now. I use it often so I understand why I have to charge it 2-3 times per day. Does anyone know when I may have to replace the battery? I'm sure it will be when I can't charge it anymore. Can I know when the battery is dieing when the battery amp hours or something are dropping. I read this somewhere. Thanks.

Hi wanttofish - Let's make sure you have power when you are out on the boat with your line in the water! Most manufacturers specify the life of a battery is 300 to 500 charge cycles at 100% capacity, meaning it will be at its at the beginning of its lifetime. A charge cycle is each time it is connected to the charger. After that the battery life or capacity will decrease incrementally. There are a variety of other environmental and hardware factors are involved in the overall life of a battery as well. The manufacturer warranties a battery for 1 year from the time of purchase.
