Mostly old batteries are based on Nickel, like nickel cadmium batteries, and they should be charged for a minimum of 16 hours initially and should be run through 2-4 full charge/full discharge cycles.
The mostly new batteries are lithium ion batteries and they required to be charged for about 5-6 hours, even if the phone says that the battery is full, it should be ignored as it may not be accurate unless the battery has been initialized. Lithium ion batteries should never fully discharge as their life is shortened every they are fully discharged. Instead they should be charged when the battery meter shows that there is only one bar left.

A well known problem with batteries is "memory effect" which only found on Lithium-ion batteries. NiCd or NiMH do not generally suffer from the memory effect. If you end up charging the battery partially too many times, eventually the battery tends to "forget" that it has the ability to charge itself fully. A nickel-based battery which succumbs to the memory effect can be reconditioned, by completely discharging, and then completely recharging the battery. A good way to ensure optimum life for nickel-battery cell-phones is to discharge them completely after a period of two to three weeks. You should also use the charger that is rated for your battery, and should discontinue the use of a charger that regularly heating the battery.
Battery Should Keep in Cool: If the battery not in use for long durations of time, you should put the battery in the freezer or fridge. The battery will last longest when used near room temperature, and it'll reduces battery life if exposure to high temperatures. You should avoid leaving phone in a hot car or in direct sunlight.The contacts of battery tend to accumulate dirt and oxidation on the contact points after a period. You need to clean contacts with a cotton swab and rubbing alcohol to efficiency of energy transfer to a maximum. In addition to that, if the contacts points are made of two different metals, such as gold or tin, accelerated corrosion can happen which is known as "galvanic or bi-metallic" oxidation. Removing this type corrosion from the contacts may sometimes require the use of solvents, such as acetone or nail polish remover
