After the post on how to get maximum usable hours out of your iPhone through Settings tweaks, emails started coming in asking about if there is anything can be done to make the battery last. Since the battery is ‘built in’, iPhones and Touch devices have to be returned to Apple for battery replacements. Apple has posted that they expect the batteries to take over 300 cycles of charge/discharge before the ability to hold a charge (usable hours) drops dramatically.

Apple posted on their site a few tips to keep the battery in good condition – take a quick look, many are common sense and will keep you from having to be without your device in the near future while it gets it’s battery replaced.

You may have noticed right off with your iPhone that you can not pull the battery out and put in another fully charged one. Apple chose to seal the battery inside like they have done on all of the iPod line.

Which ones you use will depend on how you uses your iPhone; Internet usage via Cell connection, lower quality cell signal areas, bluetooth headset, WiFi networks, music listening, brightly lit areas, and email checking. All of the tips on setting changes are easy to flip back and forth so you can tune as you needs change day to day.
