Talk time on Moto V325?

Gary

We have two Moto V325 and were wondering how much talk time we should be
getting from fully charged batteries. We're only getting about 30 - 45
minutes of talk before we start getting a "low battery" warning. Is this
normal? The phones are about one year old and it seems like we could talk
longer than that when we first got them. TIA

That seems to be along the general trend based on number of reports on
various forums and on my own experience with 3 v325 (v325i) phones
over year and a half.
However, 30-45 min of talk time you're reporting seems on the low
side.
Try to "condition" the battery - let it run empty, then fully charge.
Repeat this cycle a few times, see if that helps.
Otherwise, get a new battery.

Time to get a new battery. My wife's phone had similar issues
(couldn't hold a charge). Bought a new battery, solved the problem.

Some batteries last for several years, some don't last a few months.
You just never know.

Thanks for the replies! I tried conditioning the battery and that didn't
seem to help so I bit the bullet and ordered a new battery. Should come
tomorrow and I hope that helps. BTW, I ordered the 1100 mha battery so I'm
hoping that'll be even better than the original!
