Hi James,

It's not a GSM phone, so it has no sim card.

I know I can reduce the power consumption to 2 or 3 times less than it's=20
present state by rooting the phone and taking out all the crap that=20
downloads ads and things like that. So, I can increase the battery life.=20
But, still the batteries wear out after sitting charged in the phone for=20
very long.

My battery is forever warm to the touch whenever it's plugged into the=20
charger. Even if it's powered down for 3 hours, the battery is still=20
warm to the touch.

I wonder if I can build a charger that stops charging at 50 percent,=20
then starts charging at 40 percent.

I've tried the stock droid charger and an inexpensive universal charger,=20
both seem to destroy the battery if the charger is left connected.
