A new battery doesn't mean a good battery. The new battery may be defective. Return it and get a new new one.
The battery brand itself doesn't matter. It depends on how much charge the battery can hold. A good way to improve battery life is to charge it only when your phone is down to the last bar . Don't charge it unnecessary.
A battery that won't hold a charge has a dead cell and must be replaced. This is assuming there is not something on that is pulling power from the battery.
If it has a dead cell the battery will not hold a charge and must be replaced.
It depends on the phone if it is a phone like nextel sprint or metro PCS then no it does not hold a better charge
Need to see how many amp or watt hours your battery is rated for, many batteries are up to 100 watt hours.your cell phone may hold 1 or so watt hours to give you a comparison. A car battery could maybe charge your phone 500,times before its drained.
"HHR P104 phone battery typically holds a charge for about 12 hours. However, it all depends on usage. It can hold charge for two days if not used for a longer period of time."
Remove the negative cable over night. If it does not hold a charge, the battery has a dead cell and needs replacing. If it does hold a charge but will not when the negative cable is connected you have something on that is drawing power from the battery. Some light or a relay is stuck.
usually means the battery simply won't hold charge. and won't charge full stop! get a new one
Pull the tops of the battery off and pour sterilized water in he open ports. Then charge the battery as normal. If it doesn't hold the charge then you need to replace the battery.
If the battery will not hold a charge it more than likely has a dead cell. If the battery is over 4 years old, replace it.
Then either something is on draining the battery or the battery has a dead cell draining all the rest and must be replaced.
Usually if you overcharge your cell it defects the battery life. If you already have short life then I suggest charging it overnight? Go to your Sales Rep. and see if they have any other suggestions...could just be you need a new battery!
