Battery and charging
Battery1,500 mAh–
Wireless chargingNoneNone
Battery life detailBP-4L 1500 mAh Li-Po; maker datasheet claims up to eight hours GSM/six hours WCDMA talk and 23 days GSM/29 days WCDMA standby. Review endurance varies with use; not video playback.Removable BL-5F in both production tests, described as 1000 mAh. An exact maker capacity specification was not recovered, so no headline capacity set. PhoneArena measures 4 hours 15 minutes of talk in its conditions; GSMArena/MobilMania reports four to five days on GSM. These are different workloads, not playback or universal endurance claims.
Wired chargingCharges through micro-USB, including a compatible USB data cable; exact guide says cable charging is slower and a USB hub may not work. No charging wattage inferred.Separate charger connector. Exact issue 2 guide lists AC-3, AC-4 and AC-5, plus specified older chargers through CA-44. The GSMArena/MobilMania test confirms no charging through the computer data port; no wattage published in the maker guide.
