The LED has never been green before though, even when the battery was fully recharged. The light stopped flashing when the battery gauge got to orange on my phone. I fully charged it up last night (it took about 2 hours to charge) and then switched it off, I switched it on again this morning and it is still 100% charged so I might have left the phone all day yesterday by mistake, but that still doesn't really explain how the battery drained to 0 because it was on standby the whole time if it was on.
I am already only using the original BB battery, but I have always noticed that the battery seems to drain pretty quickly. When I am not using it that much, it takes about 2-3 days before I need to recharge it, and when I am searching the net and playing games on it for a while, it might drain within about 3 or 4 hours.

Anyway, thanks for the advice. I will get a new battery if the problem happens again.
