LG PM 325 battery charging so fast?

[Slick5300]

I did a quick search and didnt see anything about this.

My 325 appears to charge up completely after about 5 minutes. I could use it all day and then put it on charge and it will say fully charged in no time. Is this right? Or is there something wrong with my phone?

I think I noticed the same thing. It seems to charge up pretty rapidly.

Anyone have specs on the Extended Battery that SprintPCS is offering for the LG PM-325? I'd prefer to buy a generic from someone on eBay, but I can't until I know the model of the battery. The LG VX-3200 uses the same standard battery (LGIP-A1000E Standard Lithium Ion 1000mAh) but its extended battery (SBPL0075701 Li-Ion 1700mAh Extended Battery) comes with a new battery door because it can't fit under the original battery door. Does the PM-325 require a modified door to fit the recommended extended battery?

hey pumice, I was wondering if you have had any problems with your vision or pcs email on your LG.

Don't think you have a problem, mine does the same thing. Anyone know where to get accessories? Car charger/case etc?

Car charger should be the same as all other phones. Holsters are available even at third party retailers, even mine. Not sure about cases. I am thinking pouch once I buy mine.

The extended battery for the PM325 has to come with a new battery door. The standard battery fills the battery spot, and the extended battery will be a bit bigger.

I notice the same thing with my A700. I doubt it is fully charged even though it appears to be so I just leave it on the desktop charger as long as I can and I have had no problems yet.

Mine charges at a pretty normal rate. Basically the fastest it could charge (assuming the rating on the power plug is correct) is 1 hr from a dead battery. It's a 1000mAH battery, and a 1amp rating on the input. That works out to an hour with 100% efficiency. (not taking into account charger circuitry efficiency, battery charge rate which is faster on a dead battery than a partially charged one, and that a "dead" battery may still have a fairly substantial charge)

My battery charges fast and dies fast = sux.
The extended battery requires a new back cover which probably = proprietary.

Not many accessories for this phone...big negative IMO
