   The Motorola phone I have used for 20 Months I charge every night.   
   Some days ( a few) I had it on and saw a Battery is getting low Alert.   
      
   I mostly use Data on it. But phone calls also since I dropped the L/L service   
   when I got this phone.   
      
   When I need to get a Battery for it my thoughts are to see if a wholesale   
   Electronics store in my area would have a better price than the cellphone   
   company I have service with OR even Motorola Co.   
      
   I can buy at the Electronics parts store as I have a Amateur Radio License as   
   one of my Hobbies
