Do cell phone batteries just die suddenly or do they usualy loose
loose the ability to hold a charge, mine is 1.5 yrs old but today the
phone is dead, it has been holding a charge


I noticed that the lithium ion batteries for my drill died suddenly which I
attributed to excessive heat from me pushing those things too far. The
NiCads take the punishment. I don't know if the same thing could happen
with a cell phone.
