Default Charge your EVO only twice a week!

So this is a prof at my school, the University of North Texas (GO MEAN GREEN!)

Electronics are moving so fast..advancing like crazy. I love my Evo..and its probably already outdated lol

But battery power, power supply..all that jazz..Hasnt been able to keep up. Before technology advances, batteries need need to advance. They're not keeping up with the gadgets they're powering.
