    Default Damaged Battery question

    hey guys, a while back my touch screen stopped responding in a couple places, so i bought a digitizer and replaced the screen, everything is great, but now i dont have very good battery life, ive turned off active sync, and turn off wifi and ssh and bluetooth when not in use, but still not very good battery life as it used to, and my girlfriends 3G lasts forever on a charge

    now heres my question:

    when i replaced the digitizer and i took out the battery, the battery got "bent" i guess, while taking it out of the case and all that sticky junk, the battery got all bent up, and i put it back

    now if you bend a battery, will it mess up its charging capabilities and "full amount"

    ^If its a 2g be careful replacing the battery....it is soldered in place, and crossing wires on a LI battery will make it explode...not good.

    Thanks on the project. I actually just put it up for sale in B/S/T

    I got 3 with different colors
