    :cool::cool::cool:Just looking for an explaination. I fully charged my mobile yesterday evening as did my wife. In the middle of the night, can't tell you when as i did'nt look at the clock, i was woken by my phone beeping, which it does if the battery in nearly empty and about to turn off. I found this odd, cursed my mobile as you would, plugged it in to charge it and went back to sleep.
    I woke up this morning, phone charged again, great, however, my wife turned to me and said the battery in her phone was dead after charging it fully the evening before.
    Up until last night our phone could last us two days without charging them, and there ok again today.
    Anyone got any ideas??????:confused::confused::confused:

    Faulty battery?

    Loosing it's charge?

    I reckon it's nothing too paranormal anyways ;)

    Maybe, but both phones loosing its charge no more than 5 or 6 hours after being fully charged, and both phones are no more than 3 months old, got them the same time. Maybe faulty batteries on both phones but there okay again today 'so far'. Thanks for the reply though.:cool::cool::cool:

    Could there have been anything up with the 'lecky in your house? To cause two items plugged in at the same time to not charge properly? Just a thought.

    Otherwise, in the absence of any other strangeness going on, your going to have to chalk this up as a coincidence.

    Was there any electric storms or anything during the night? During the summer there we had bad lightening and the two battery operated clocks in my bedroom started working again after wards. I was really freaked out until my OH pointed out the lightening. We assumed that the lightening charged the batteries. Could the opposite have happened in your house maybe?

    I'm gonna bet neither of you actually charged the phones, you just thought you did. Like the socket wasn't turned on at the wall or something. Not sure why this is in this forum either, do you suspect ghosts or aliens depleted your battery?

    Just to note, never charge your phone until the battery is totally dead then charge it, if you charge it when there is just a little bit of power left in the phone it will cause the batterys power to deplete quicker than normal and its good practice to have the phone off when charging, just some sound advice, nothing paranormal there.;)

    That's only with older batteries, newer ones don't have that problem.

    I would say that there is some scientific reason for this perhaps some kind of ionisation in the air...sometimes radiation can make the air ionised and the energy has to come from somewhere just a suggestion..I would say the lightening would do it.
