Of course. Just let it play songs or video's, or just have it on.

as easy as that

Great info!

ahhh thank you for the info. i always thought i should evercharge the 1st time or the battery will have shorter life. i also thought that if you charge when its full it will damage the battery. and i even thought that i should charge as little as possible. thanks for the great info.

Ok now onto the million dollar question .....

Is my Meizu M6 SL lithium battery user replaceable :d ?

If so how much is the replacement battery ? And where can i buy it ?

I find many people neglect finding out about this, in this age of society where we make disposable items with very short life spans.... mass produce stuff that wear and tear and are disposed compared with the good old quality master craftmanship of old :x

I recall the Ipods having the fans complain about the cost to replace their Lithium batteries, so i wonder where does Meizu M6 stand on this :x ?

If it was already mentioned in some other post elsewhere i apologise upfront for my ignorance. But seeing as this is a pinned thread about the battery, maybe this should be mentioned here as well :x my 2 cents.

Looking at GMP3’s video previews of the M6 and D2 from, we wonder anew why people keep trooping to Apple stores for an iPod. On that note, we’ve also included a video review of the M6 by AnythingButiPod. They had a pretty comprehensive look at the user interface. Simple, but you know it’ll last longer than 1.5 years.

Most of these "rules and tips" applies to the old type of batteries, that's probably why they've added it to the new ones as well (in the manual). Alternatively to have something to complain about when you want to return a defect product?

Omg and here is me fully discharging and fully loading it every time..
I have it since juli this year and today it was fully loaded: started listening @ 18.30, now it is 23.08 and the battery indicator shows that it is empty already. I just cant get 20 hours out of it :S Anything I can do?

It's empty now 18.30>23.17 isnt good.

what should i do if it never says "full charged"? it just keeps charging

mbarry · 10-17-2008

Try leaving it for a night. If that doesn't work, fully discharge it, and recharge.

Nice FAQ and it's all true. The only thing you don't explain is how Li-ion batteries do wear. They indeed don't wear becasue of charging and/or discharging, they wear over time. A greater temperatures makes tee battery go bad faster. That's why it's advised not to charge laptop accu's while working on the laptop (working = heat = battery killing). When you don't use a Li-ion battery for while, you best keep it in the fridge.
