Cell Phone Batteries – A Review

Cell phone is considered to be the best invention of recent times. With the cell phone, one can communicate and stay in touch with anyone, anywhere, at anytime. The latest cell phone models also facilitate internet browsing through WAP, video and photo cameras, MP3 players and radio. Some even permit word processing and other features of a PC. All these functions use a lot of power, and are possible because of the great cell phone batteries used in the cell phones.

Cell phone batteries are usually made of Lithium Ion (LiOn) which is a lightweight and rechargeable battery that has no effects on the memory of the cell phone. When you first use the cell phone, it is necessary that the first charge is for eight continuous hours. It is important that you charge the battery for so long on its first charge else the battery expires before its intended life span.

Different models of cell phones use different batteries with different capacities. Some phones offer vibrator alarm features where it is the battery that vibrates. Then there are cell phones that offer long talk time which need a stronger cell phone battery. This is why it is not advisable to swap batteries between cell phones. All that happens is damage to the unit.

Whichever cell phone and cell phone battery you have, it is important that you don’t expose both the cell phone and its battery to extreme moisture and heat. Though it is important that you periodically charge the battery, it is important that you don’t overcharge it as the resultant heat can explode the unit. It is better that you avoid dropping the cell phone batteries while draining the batteries occasionally and then charging them fully lengthens the life of the cell phone. If the cell phone is not used for more than two months, then the battery has to be recharged completely before using.

On The Internet Era, Satellite Phones Seem Miracles To Some

The areas of Jammu and Kashmir, located right in the North of India, between Pakistan and China are known in the history as a disputed area between India and Pakistan. These regions are much of a farmland.
Ever since 1989 the controversy over Kashmir has taken a violent turn in the valley; the Kashmiri people themselves have taken up arms against the Indian occupation. As a response to that, India is now deploying more than 700,000 troops in the valley to crush the Freedom Movement.
However, the areas are being covered by the satellite phones today, as the army brought the devices to the local people.Ghulam Mohammad Rasool, who is the food department officer can now communicate with the office, in the Kishtawar town, due to the Inmarsat phone, which was installed by the army.
"Many of our problems are solved by this phone because we can get in touch with our relatives in Jammu, Srinagar or Kishtawar through this satellite phone," he says. Nevertheless, he expresses his frustrations regarded to the communicational system: "We just get two hours and that is not sufficient. Only few people are benefitted by this phone. It is a big area and so phone cannot cater to all the people,"

Listening to the local people’s requests, the Army is now planning to install more satellite phones in the area and also train the people to use them.

"The response is good, people are coming from far flung villages here. The approximate distance from where the people are coming is 20 kilometres, because they have come to know that there is some facility for them to get in touch with the world," said Captain R K Singh.

Although everywhere else in the world the revolution of communication it is winning ground every day, in this part of the world, satellite phones are considered as the most incredible miracles of the world and worshiped by the technologically innocent locals. They seem to be thanking the Army with gestures and mimics, while residents say that they will always keep it close to their heart.
