I'm going to try to purchase my Nexus S before class tomorrow when they open. Don't want to take any chances on it selling out. Would it be wise to turn it on and use it a while during the morning? Or does the battery need to be fully charged before using it to condition it and ensure a good battery life? I've read many battery tips but i'm still a little confused on whats better for a new battery.

When you get it, deplete it, but do not let it die. Ever. Then just cycle it normally.

What do you mean by "die".... like to 0%, if so what should we take it down to?

Yes, by letting your battery "die", per se, you're letting it deplete to 0%. I'd say for safe measure, between 5%-9%. But if you're in the vicinity of a charger take it down to 2%. If not, turn it off at 5%, then plug it in before powering it back on. My devices' daily life lasts so long (on all devices I own) because I properly know how to cycle a battery.
If you let your battery die (0%), it'll lose more and more charge (on a 0.00% level) every time. When you get it tomorrow though, it should have ~50%-60% charge.

Battery life?
So how are your batteries doing? Mine is kind of crappy. What supposedly changed in 2.3? I see no difference in the reporting of apps in Battery Use and they took away Battery History in the hidden system settings. Where is the graph everyone talked about?
You gotta give it a few charging cycles for the battery to reach it's full potential. Give its few days, you'll notice it will get better after you charged it a few times.

The battery life on mine is chugging along pretty well. I gave it a full charge before hitting the streets. Its been 4 hours with wifi and GPS on with a couple dozen pictures taken and a bunch of apps dl and installed. used maps 5.0 and periodically hit the GPS for my position getting really good accuracy while driving and the battery level still has a little more than 4/5s battery life still remaining

That's funny because every company that sells back up batteries tell you to go through 4-5 full cycles before it reaches its potential. I guess you're right, and they're all wrong.

Battery
how do I train my battery it was halfway charged when i got it do I let it die and then put it on the charger thanks!
EDIT:WRONG SECTION DELETE THIS MODS!
I've always charged all the way up then ran the battery all the way down, then charged all the way up again. Then periodically, I will run the battery all the way down just to give it a little exercise. So far out of all the cell phones I have had I have had 1 battery go bad on me, that was 8-10years ago.
Battery

matter of opinion really.... I would kill it by playing with it.... then do a full charge
that is what I am doing
Generally the suggested method is to charge it for 8-12 hours as soon as you can, then use it until it gets very low, then charge for another 8-12 hours. Do this cycle about 3 to 4 times and you've got yourself a healthy battery.
Killing the battery entirely, despite popular belief, can have some negative effects on its health. Especially during is conditioning phase.
I haven't seen any threads on calibrating the battery on the Infuse... I used to use this one for my Motorola Milestone:

Just pull your battery, wait a few minutes, then put it back in.
All done.
pretty sure lithium ion batteries dont require calibration. no battery memory
also, this is not development. and there are already threads on this.

No need to calibrate, we have a standalone battery meter chip. It can act funky and when it does just shut down and pull the battery. all that calibrations stuff in the galaxy s forums is nonsense and if anything causes issues with the battery meter.
I had a captivate and will that wipe bat stats (the phone doesn't use bat stats according to entropy) charge to full power down charge to full power on charge to full bs only caused my battery readings to differ from the phone being on to being off while on charger and made it appear the battery was draining faster. All I would ever do after flashing was charge to full and use the device normally and let the meter calibrate over 2-3 days without special treatment.
Most of these special special procedure threads you find on the internet are placebo effect nonsense.

Its not a problem. The phone charges that way by design; the idea is that it will extend the overall life of the battery by not letting it get fully or possibly over charged.

but it goes to 97% sometimes. is it possible to go 100% in the long term ? I feel 95% does not give me the same battery life as 100%.
the only way to really get it to 100% is let it charge to 95% then keep the phone awake but the 5% difference is nothing. Its nothing to worry about.
That behavior is not by design, it's a poorly implemented battery profile in the phone.
Not much you can do unless someone changes the preset voltage values for 100% "full" (and/or other battery settings).

No no, it's actually implemented this way, and it's a choice.
Some manufacturers have modified the way the battery stats are handled to show 100% even on "stock" rom experience, but that isn't the case for the Nexus S.
HTC is notable for this.
On the other hand, you can use a kernel with the 100% cosmetic fix implemented or if you're REALLY REALLY sure, you can bump charge your phone to 100%. Doing the later will however reduce the life of your battery, so if you expect to keep your phone for a long time I wouldn't suggest it.
Here's a nice written article, applying for the Droid but just about any Android smartphone too.

That's another thing I really miss about my old Evo - SBC charging and 30+ hrs from the stock 1500mAh battery. Many custom kernels implemented SBC to allow a full 100% charge, and I never witnessed any performance degradation over the course of a year.
The battery service life issue rumored to result from fully charging the lithium ion cells was largely dismissed as just that... a rumor. Hundreds, if not thousands of Evo users use SBC without any problems - in fact, I do not recall anyone writing about sbc-related problems at all.

I used SBC kernels on my Nexus One and the battery life was insanely good. Never had problems. I stopped using them because I was scared of the horror stories.
Personally, I'm rarely somewhere (for extended periods of time) that I can't charge my phone. And if I am on a long drive or out and about it's not like I'm doing much with my phone.

Actually I remember people posting problems with SBC and I didn't even have an EVO. Remember the phones that went almost on fire?
Anyway I don't really need such a kernel, I use BLX to limit at 90% and get through a day just fine, sometimes through a day and a half.
My phone charged so that it read 100% when i first got it. Only after i installed glados kernel did it stop at 96% because he didn't implement the illusionary fix.
Dianne Hackborn - 6:42 PM - Public Today's myth debunking:
"The battery indicator in the status/notification bar is a reflection of the batterystats.bin file in the data/system/directory."
No, it does not.
This file is used to maintain, across reboots, low-level data about the kinds of operations the device and your apps are doing between battery changes. That is, it is solely used to compute the blame for battery usage shown in the "Battery Use" UI in settings.
That is, it has deeply significant things like "app X held a wake lock for 2 minutes" and "the screen was on at 60% brightness for 10 minutes."
It has no impact on the current battery level shown to you.
It has no impact on your battery life.
Deleting it is not going to do anything to make your more device more fantastic and wonderful... well, unless you have some deep hatred for seeing anything shown in the battery usage UI. And anyway, it is reset every time you unplug from power with a relatively full charge (thus why the battery usage UI data resets at that point), so this would be a much easier way to make it for away.

Is that what wipe battery stats does? I have never noticed any difference when I did that. To think of all the times I have run the battery down, cleared the stats, charged it, and cleared the stats again with no noticeable results.
Sometimes it seems like the battery life gets thrown off by flashing a new rom. It isn't necessarily getting worse battery life but the indicator will work funny like it will show 99% for 3 hours and I will think I am getting great battery life and then go to 30 in the next 20 minutes. It is like the UI gets confused. My tablet will sometimes say "connect your charger" even though the battery and indicator are 100%.
I don't think people realize how much drain the display is on the battery. They flash a cool rom and use it a lot and then think they are getting bad battery life because the display has been on for two hours while they play with it. It is amazing the amount of difference I get between when I am fidgeting with my phone while I am at work (have to recharge during the day) and when I am at home on the weekend and it sits on the kitchen table most of the time (it will generally go all weekend without a charge).
Wonder why its even an option to wipe battery stats with apps or recovery if it doesnt do anything. I never saw a difference myself, I just wiped them periodically cause others seemed to think it made a difference.

First of all those of us who actually knows about Android OS really knows that /data/system/batterystats.bin is nothing more than stats audit. Now if you think you can't actually re-calibrate battery and project that data than your a fool. It has nothing to do with that file.
First of all to accurately predicate it you need a true daemon that's capable of tracking system data with full autonomy access. Second you need correct battery specs from the manufacturer. As reading memory from it may or not even be supported by the device kernel if its not allocated. Thus you see issues with cross link batteries on stock roms, but some is exceptional with similar size, specs.
Now to project the correct data from ~1-100% you need to fully discharge for it to cycle. Yes I know some of you maybe saying never fully discharge Li-Io but if you know the min mV rating then you can stop near suggested mV as it won't go below and damage cells. From then the duration of full charge is defined along with total available mAh. By calculating discharged -mA draw pre scale unit over empty estimation you can predict the true battery percentage.
Ex: ATM my uptime is 14h 47m at 65% with moderate usage (talk, txt, web). Since I have MP1650mAh battery I'm currently at 1072mAh. As its drawing -90mA per scale unit with 4156mV. At this current rate fully projected empty estimation is 9h 38m. Keep in mind my deviceis highly optimized and is on very aggressive battery saving mode.

Please forgive my ignorance gentleman, and refrain from verbally bashing me.
I bought a 1550 mAh Anker battery. If I charge it to 100% and then use it, it stays at 100% for hours. Is this because my phone is waiting for it to drop below 1400 mAh, or what? If that's the case can I somehow tell my phone to consider 1550 mAh 100%?

That is THE prime reason people "wipe batterystats.bin" thinking it would fix staying for hours at 100% delay and heavy drop in short time. Which is sign of missing true data. Normally its measured via min/max mV and available mAh. Now by subtracting the used mA per scale unit the empty estimation is calculated. Thus projecting power draw at given duration and near accurate battery metter.

Yes, of course it is the prime reason. My question was, is there a way to tell the phone that 1550 is 100% or do I just deal with inaccurate monitoring that is based on a 1400 mAh battery?
Or, alternatively, will android figure it out over time and adjust for me?

Before battery calibration, regardless of what happens, I was getting 9 hours, light usage. After battery calibration I get 19 hours, medium use. I'll stick with it with my thick headed self.

I am using the Anker 1900mAh battery for last 3 weeks and I am satisfied with the battery life it provides. I did 4-5 charge-discharge cycles and now I regularly get 24hrs - 27hrs life out of it. Today I noticed that BMW Pro is showing battery '14% aging'! What does this mean? Is my battery dying? To confirm I installed the HTC battery widget and it shows nothing abnormal. Please check the screenshots. Is something wrong with my battery?
More than 100 views. Nobody?
My aging says 0%, on stock battery... 5 month old.
I gave up using BMW after getting my sensation, the battery driver by HTC is useless and the statistics the driver gives to BMW can't be trusted.
If you're that concerned then charge to 100%, delete your your battery stats and history and hence start again - but I don't think anything has changed for you, it still guesses your battery as around 1900.

Absolutly right about BMW and Sensation. BMW Useless and confusing only. Don't worry about ageing - continue to use as before.
My phone is not rooted. So I cant delete battery stats. And I get excellent battery life. But the 'aging' thing was worrying me. But after reading your comments not so much worried now. What does 'aging' mean anyway? i.e. in the context of the battery.
Over time and use batteries age... They lose their capacity.... Aging 10% Means that the battery has 10% less capacity than it had when it was new....

I know that is Senasation's driver reporting not correct discharge current, only correct charge current. I meant BMW is useless with Sensation.
And i guess it is not problem of HTC's driver but hardware chipset used in sensation and evo 3d - driver can't read proper values from measurment circuit of chipset. If i would be driver itself, HTC could fix it easely.
---------- Post added at 08:49 AM ---------- Previous post was at 08:38 AM ----------
Don't expect from Anker same quantity of charge-discharge cycles as original battery. It may not work as long as original one(cycles i mean). Nothing can be done with it and nothing can help. They are cheap, so just buy new one when capacity will badly decrease.
Now BMW is showing aging to be 0%. How and why it showed 14% previously I dont know! The battery is hardly 3 weeks old. It cant begin to age so soon, can it? Maybe the earlier value was some wrong reporting. There seems to be a definite problem with the phone's battery driver.

Now BMW is showing aging to be 0%. How and why it showed 14% previously I dont know! The battery is hardly 3 weeks old. It cant begin to age so soon, can it? Maybe the earlier value was some wrong reporting. There seems to be a definite problem with the phone's battery driver.

Ignore, ignore, ignore. Just ignore. How can you trust it if BMW doesn't even report mA correctly (not it's fault). So stop worrying and just enjoy your phone.

Thats what I am going to do!
You may see what are aged battery here :http://78michel.unblog.fr/htc-desire-battery-shutdown-analysis/ and here :http://78michel.unblog.fr/?p=164
The SoC curve ( state of charge) shows a step during the charging cycle before reaching 100% and a shutdown while discharging. This is very typical.
The aging is in fact the amplitude of the step.....
A precise battery analysis requires a full charging cycle from 0% to 100% with a AC charger.
Your battery is clearly not aged at all..... don't worry

How am I being rude? You should change the tone of how you read it. I didn't call you the moron, I was assuming you weren't and trying to give some kind of crappy analogy to make sense of it lol
Folks, wiping battery stats is to no use. It only contains the data of what have used the battery since last charge. When you unplug your phone from the charger, the stats are reset. You can't extend or damage the battery life by deleting/altering the battery stats file.
