The seller promised good battery life. The reality is less than 20 hrs, without using the phone, ie in standby. My last phone, an Aldi rugged using an older version of the same software, would go 3 weeks between charges, and was only retired after 5 years as the battery bulged. I expected about a week from a charge on the Alcatel, given that the battery is 400mAh compared to the 1700mAh of the Aldi phone. The seller description does promote long battery life. So, to cut a long story short. AVOID.####[['battery life', 'Battery/Longevity#Battery Life', 'negative'], ['between charges', 'Battery/Longevity#Power Consumption Speed', 'positive'], ['battery', 'Battery/Longevity#Battery Capacity', 'neutral']]
