Faulty mobile?

I've had my C510 for about 2 or 3 months now, and it battery life was ace. I've only ever charged it when the "low battery" message is displayed. However, over the past two weeks, the battery life has plummeted. I charged the phone up over night from saturday to sunday. This morning when I woke up, the phone was dead.

The quoted standby life is up to 400 hours. I got just under 72. Yes, I sent 5 text messages over that time period, but it's certainly nowhere near what it should be. To give some context, at 11pm last night I had 14% battery. I left the phone by the bed with the backlight off and didnt touch it until I got up at 10. 14% of the battery vanished in 11 hours.

Do I have grounds to take the phone back to the shop to get a replacement battery?

Have you enabled blue tooth? That is a big drain on the battery.

nope, that's the first thing I checked. this is without blue tooth, standing idle apart from when I could help it. I'd noticed my battery was being rubbish so after charging it on sunday i wanted to see how long it would last unmolested, so to speak.
