Except now, three years later my battery life is less than a working day and I can&#x27;t swap it out without hot gunning the case.<p>The rest of my phone is perfectly fine but I can either keep it tethered to the wall or scrap it. That said, it would be dead already because I did drop it in water and the waterproof case saved it :)<p>&gt; This means that batteries of mobile phones, or other hand-held devices in daily use, are not expected to last longer than three years.
