Battery Life
The Alcatel OT-983 houses a removable 1300 mAh Li-Ion battery. Considering its hardware and software efficiency, the device can achieve decent battery life—a standby time of up to 500 hours and up to 20 hours of talk time on 2G networks, with a reduced 6-hour talk time on 3G networks. This makes the phone a reliable companion for users needing extended periods between charges, a common need in its target demographic.
