Battery

HTC Wildfire S uses a rechargeable battery.

How long the battery can last before it needs recharging depends on how you use

HTC Wildfire S. Among these are the features and accessories you use (for example,

leaving your Bluetooth™connection always on uses more power). Long phone calls

and frequent web browsing uses up a lot of battery power. Also, consider your

location: poor signal strength from your mobile network and extreme temperature

make the battery work harder.
