Hi Ryan,
I think user behavior is the primary reason for short battery life. A frien=
d of mine bought the same phone as my wife, yet his battery got pretty tire=
d after two years, while hers was still strong when I got her a new phone a=
fter four years use. Her battery care regime is pretty much to charge fully=
 when it got below 50%. And she always propped the phone on a pen or pencil=
 so it had airflow while charging(that was something I showed her). My frie=
nd, on the other hand, was very haphazard when it came to caring for his ba=
ttery.
Friendly regards, Bob

Sounds like smart phones are too smart now. I guess your old charger is
reverting it back to the regular charging rate. From what I've read using a
regular charge instead of fast charge does prolong the battery life but not
by much. Usually a battery replacement isn't an expensive task anyway, it's
going to wear out eventually regardless.
