Nokia 121 Cell Phone Batteries & Accessories

Charging your New Nokia 121 Cell Phone Battery Before First Use

New batteries for Nokia 121 are shipped in a discharged condition and must be charged before use. We generally recommend an overnight charge. Rechargeable 121 Cell Phone batteries should be cycled -fully charged and then fully discharged - two to four times initially to allow them to reach their full capacity.

Sometimes the device's charger will stop charging a new battery before it is fully charged. If this happens, remove the battery from the device and then reinsert it. The charge cycle should begin again. This may happen several times during the first battery charge. Don't worry; it's perfectly normal.

The Lifespan of the Nokia 121 Battery

The life of a rechargeable battery for Nokia 121 Cell Phone operating under normal conditions is generally between 500 to 800 charge-discharge cycles.

This translates into one and a half to three years of battery life for the average user. As the 121 battery begins to die, the user will notice a decline in the running time of the battery. When a battery that originally operated the device for two hours is only supplying the user with an hour's worth of use, it's time for a new Nokia 121 replacement battery.
