last week I found a very strange thing about my phone (Fly MP600). It has a li-ion battery (obviously). While charging it gets pretty heated up, but not so if it is kept in a manner that hte full surface does not touch any flat surface (for example , on 2 pens). I noticed that when it get got heated up while charging it retained charge for a much shorter time, less than a day wheras if it does not get heated it retains chrge for more than 2 days. Is it the same for all phones?

maybe the heat causes more resistance, leading to lower battery life. will try it out on my mp3 player.

all battery's get heated up while charging, its normal. i am not sure abt the charge retention relateing to heat, maybe pannaguma is right.
