Looks good, thanks for the heads up.
it's a big battery...make the phone bigger but it worth if the life of that battery it is abot 2-3 day because i charged my phone every day with te stock one
Did you see the picture on Ebay? It claims that it is the same size as the OEM battery so you DO NOT need to change the back cover. You use the OEM cover
Hi,
up to now tests showed that no alternate batteries were an improvement if they fit in the standard case. Google for the name of the battery perhaps you find something.
Are you on stock firmware? If yes a modified firmware might be a good idea. With froyo I reached more then 70 hours with low usage. The new GB roms will reach this also in a few weeks I think.
Ralf
Thanks for the reply, I did install the latest 2.3.3 Wolfbreaks ROM...
1. Maybe thats why the battery life is short...
2. I did just get this phone...heavy use...may cause the short battery life.
3. My excitement for the phone is another reason battery life is short
Interesting find.
I never used the particular one you found on Ebay, but I have another regular-sized one from China claiming it has 2200mAh capacity.
I hate to burst your bubble, but I have in the past bought and tried many, many replacement batteries for SE, Moto, HTC and other handsets and not single one of them clearly exceeded the capacity of OEM ones. Sure those sellers say theirs have 2200mAh or 2300mAh compared to OEM's 1500mAh they seem a lot better, but in realty they are about the same as the OEM at best. The one I have (they advertised as 2200mAh) for my X10 seems a little bit better than OEM. The 2300mAh one on Ebay, at least, doesn't try to copy the look of OEM, and (from my experience) it usually is a good sign of they are better than self-claimed really cheap OEMs you can find everywhere in Ebay. In the end, long battery life is not a forte of android. It's not like we have symbian devices.
As far as I know, "Mugen" replacement battery seems truly better than OEMs, though I haven't tried them personally. They are not cheap, you know.

Let me know if the one you found turns out to be good, I'm always looking for a spare battery that exceeds OEMs!
Awesome incite and input!!! Thanks Hasei!!!
I think I am going to buy it...!!!
I need more battery experience!!

Symbian battery is PATHETIC. I still have My N97Mini and my N8, alongside my HTC Sensation and SE X10, all heavily tweaked [you can't even tweak symbian that much] and I'll tell you now, its pathetic. Laggy like ****, but the battery wont even last 30 hours in minor usage, and not even 4 hours in hardout. My x10 can last like 4 days in the minimal usage and 10 hours in hardout, but I still carry one extra battery around =]

Just ordered this battery for $34 USD, will post a review when tested in a couple weeks.
I think it will be a good move from my side to search for such a battery. Ebay, i'm coming!
Seriously, the phone saps away power like mad when using Wi-Fi...
guyz i would recommend not to use chinese or fake batteries.They can even blast.
I never used to play with my battery.
BEWARE!!
The stock battery is chinese, and not all that is chinese is horse dung.
(yeah, i thought that i got some fake battery myself, until i searched for the battery photos in the internet )

i've been using the 3200 mAh battery from ebay as my x10 battery for the past 2 months or so. It's really good if you don't mind the bulk, i can play psx games on my phone for about 8 hours and be left with 60% of my battery. if i don't use my phone much (just texting occasionally) it lasts about 2-4 days. So far no signs of overheating/blowing up .
(edit: used to be running on demand governor, recently switched to smartass. Battery seems to be doing even better)

is it this battery:http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/260836802...AX:IT&_trksid=p3984.m1438.l2649#ht_2817wt_905,or this 1:http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/NEW-BATTE...ultDomain_3&hash=item336850790f#ht_1315wt_905
it's a 3200 battery, i'll try pming you the link, it won't let me post it.
If it sounds too incredible, it probably is...
Give it a thought: If the manufacturer of the original batteries would be able to squeeze a few extra hundreds milliamps into the battery without risking the battery security, don't you think they would have from the beginning?
There is always one or more downsides with these "better" batteries:
1: They're fake. in fact, it's only a 1700 mAh battery with a 2200 mAh sticker on it. Placebo warning here! Those reviews from other "customers"? Problably the manufacturer themselves, or payed "customers".
2: They're bigger, so they do need a different cover. These battery claims can be true, more capacity = larger battery. Something has to give in. (In this case: Size), right?
These bigger batteries are okay, as bigger battery means more capacity. You have to give up the slim size here.
3: They removed some or all security features in order to allow "overcharging". That way they can squeeze in a few more mAh in the battery.
The risk of overheating is very real here. There have been cases where such "no security" batteries have exploded, and in some cases even catching fire... while still in the owners pocket. Ouch! That gotta hurt alot.
Here is a video on overcharging a Lithium Ion battery, but it isn't far from what can happen to a Lithium Polymer battery without the security:

I'm an old Vario 2 user who, weary of poor battery life, moved to Symbian for the Nokia e71. It promised a solid range of features and great battery life and I have to say it delivered - trouble is, after 3 months I still find Symbian to be a right royal pain compared to Windows Mobile! So I'm thinking about getting the Vario 2 out of mothballs again.
Now in the past I had the original HERM160 1350mah battery which lasted about a year before becoming unusably short on life. I got a 1500mah Chinese job from Morpeth Mobiles which from the start was barely any better than my year old 1350mah job. I'm not interested in making the V2 any bigger with an outsize battery so I'm wondering - is it worth getting the "official" version of a 1350mah? Expansys have them but they are expensive at £32 (http://www.expansys.com/p.aspx?i=138243). I would pay that if it gives me a good day's reasonable usage however.
I've searched the forums for comparisons, I couldn't find a definitive answer to this. Obviously there is a reason why ebay / 3rd parties' batteries are cheaper, but would I be likely to notice much difference with a £32 battery?
I do miss my Vario 2 I have to say. The e71 is great from the point of view of never having to worry about battery, but it's got nothing on the Vario from the point of view of usability. I do hope this new range of HTC handsets finally crack the battery issue.
It's just the matter of finding the right brand of 3rd party batteries. I've never bought anything from Expansys before, but I do not buy any batteries claiming to be original batteries on eBay or other auction sites because they are very often 3rd party ones made with refurbished cells and components with labels printed to look like an original battery in some no-name sweatshop.
I live in Hong Kong and I bought a handmade battery for my Hermes from this guy for about HK$120 with shipping:
http://auction1.taobao.com/auction/item_detail-null-a517868370a4fd8e45fd00f6b2fed61b.jhtml
Its battery life matches (if does not exceed) a brand new original battery, way much better than my dying original battery with only a few hours of battery life.
Cameron Sino also makes good batteries, I have used their batteries before and they work just like the original.

Interesting. Any chance to find this in another language than chinese?
Go for the Genuine one
I suggest you go for the genuine battery even if it costs a little more...
I recently had trouble with my HTC TyTN battery which was 1.5 yrs old....and changed it to a new Genuine battery and can say that it saved me from the many hassles .. It came with a 6 month replacement warranty.

I'm also interested in this. That auction's currently showing HK$80 for whatever's on the page... But my Mandarin's not so good!
Like everybody else, I'm always looking for ways to get better battery life. 80 HKD for a hand-made battery seems like a very reasonable price. Obviously with the cost of postage to the UK factored in, it goes up a bit, but I can't imagine that much given the low weight and small size.
Do you really get that good a battery life compared to other third party cells like Cameron Sinos? If so, I might have a proposition for you. (send me a PM!)
I'm ready to purchase with them for my X10HT, if you're interested in that, I will help you to post to UK.
Of course all the charge will be yours, but should be not much.

the word genuine is a lie i this case.
Don't buy batteries from this vendor:
http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=250641711190
I bought them and get only 9hrs run time vs 30hrs with the Genuine OEM HTC battery.
I have always used the 3rd party extended battery (with 2800mAh) because I'm on the go a lot.
One died after a year use.
One died recently after 3-year use.
But other 4 are still alive and kicking.
Old battery is running out of juice. Recently found some 1700mah drea160 g1 battery on ebay. Any one tested them yet?
What happen to the ecell 1500mah battery? couldn't find it anymore.
By the way, I'm looking for a standard battery (fits in original housing), please reply if you have something to share. Thanks
Don't know if its the same battery i bought about half a year ago at ebay germany but i had no luck with it.
It was labeled as 1700 mah battery... now, 7 month later the battery has power for about 6 hours in standby (think about 500mah rest capacity)
Even in the first months the battery had not more power than the original htc 1150mah battery, the standby time was about the same.
I recommend not to buy it... better get one or two cheaper standard capacity batteries
Sent from my T-Mobile G1 using XDA App
well I just ordered mine off ebay, total came to a lil over 5 bucks.
Im guessing its not gonna pan out, but hopin it'll be at least as good as stock, and if its either of those, im getting my money back and keeping the battery. So tis a win for me no matter what.
I'll do review.

There's a flood of standard capacity battery on ebay that I can't tell which is good and which is bad. I'm just wishing to get one that will last slightly longer than stock or as long as stock. Guess I will have to look around for a bit.

Thanks, hopefully it's not one of those that do great for the first few days and degrade quickly afterward.
well just recieved my battery, its fake, and came with a sticker stating 2500mah! Lmao. same size as stock. But im gonna try it out for a week, and as long as it works better than my old battery, i'll give positive feedback and not request my money back.

This battery works great for me, have had it a few weeks now, has easily doubled my battery life and standby time is crazy it never has come close to dying while on standby.
The one I received is a little different than the one pictured, my backplate has just the camera recessed and not the whole area around it. So the back is even throughout.

ha 2500mah. No wonder the seller did not reply me when I asked if this is truly 1700mah battery. Alright, let me know how it goes. Thanks
Guys,
I found a 1700mah battery on ebay (restriction on new users stops me from providing the link, but it's from Seller austintexwireless ( 18439 sales))
Do you think it's fake at 1.60$?...
I am looking to buy a bigger battery, but I do not want the extended packs with thick back covers, so would prefer one that fits the original slot.
Any advice?

Here you go http://cell-phones.shop.ebay.com/i....kw=&_osacat=20336&_trksid=p3286.c0.m270.l1313
I ordered three batteries off ebay. Two of them were delivered and I'm waiting for the last one. One of the batteries is 1050 Mah and the other is 1150. They both hold equally with a little edge for the 1150 one. I'm really sceptic that in this thickness the battery could have a larger capacity than the stock one. This is a limitation of the Li-Ion technology. However, both of those batteries are much better than the swollen stock one after 1,5 years of use and do a great job. One more thing. The 1050 one was from HongKong and cost me about $3 and the bigger one was from UK and cost me about 7-8$, but was delivered much much faster. I think that you can't go wrong with a battery for 3-4$ but I recommend getting two batteries and an external charger - it's a must have for power users. That's it.
My ANDIDA 1600mAh battery begins to show its age (used to last at least 1-day of use, sometimes 2-day if use is light, now barely make it over a whole day) after 11-month of use. So I got a new 1700mAh (by SCUD) battery.
I shall report back how it performs after a few days of use...
ANDIDA 1600mAh
SCUD 1700mAh
P.S. They both weigh 24g.
A quick search finds that lithium ion's specific energy density ranges from 150 to 250 W·h/kg. If we take the highest specific energy density, so 24 / 1000 * 250 = 6W·h (WHr). Divide 6W·h by 3.7V * 1000 = 1621mAh.
So it's THEORETICALLY possible that these batteries can contain 1600-1700mAh of juice. Whether they can actually store as much is, well, another matter.
Of course, the above calculations haven't taken into consideration of the weight of the housing and the circuitry so the figures should be a bit off.
P.P.S. I remember the original battery (1150mAh) weighed a few grams more through.

that pictures even says 2500 mah, I wouldn't trust it.
so, after a few days of use, it isn't as good as the andida when it was new. the andida surely lasted me at least 1-day of uses (unless i'm using gps the whole time, which drains the battery in a few short hours). this one, it lasts a day of moderate use but not much left.
i'm hoping that with more uses, it will be more "warmed up" and last longer.
i'll report back if this happens.
Looks like the SCUD can last 1.5 day of use mostly.
Does the official 2000 mah battery Increase the battery life in any way?
Sent from my GT-I9100 using XDA App
It depends.
I bought an Anker 1900mah battery (which is roughly around the same as the original 1650mah *personal experience*) and having the 2 batteries that can last me ~14 hours each, I've justified that buying a 2000mah isn't worth it for the price.
If you have the money for it, sure go for it, but if you're kinda chintz like me, go for a cheaper solution.
Sent from my GT-I9100 using XDA App
Of course it does. It has 17.5% more capacity, so you should expect 17.5% longer battery life.
Before you make your decision, I think you should consider buying another spare 1650mah battery instead. It doesn't require a different back battery cover, so you can just carry the battery around and swap it out when required. It'll cost less and you'll essentially be with 3300mah of juice.
But of course, that's if you don't mind the act of swapping the battery mid-day.
Oops, when I said "It depends" I was replying to the thread title. Ahah.
Sent from my GT-I9100 using XDA App
Um, yeah 350/1650 = 21 & a bit % higher capacity. I've had one of these for a couple of months and I get around the 20% more zzzzs, etc, etc.
I tried a non Samsung 3500mAh battery which ended up being around 1900mAh based on two weeks worth of testing (not scientific I know, I don't have the equipment to test actual capacity) and more than a few charge/discharge cycles, it used to get hot (~45°C) when charging so I returned it to the place I bought it from.
For the same price as this battery I bought the original Samsung 2000mAh battery. If you can afford it, definitely get one of these. Despite other peoples positive experiences on here with non-Samsung batteries (and I've also seen just as many people who have had similar negative experiences like mine), I'll never buy a non-original battery again.

Manufacturer batteries are guaranteed to do what you pay for, the other ones can vary enormously.
For example 99% of non Sony batteries for the PSP were utter trash, but I did find one company that specialized in replacements and those were about 95% of the Sony originals. But since most non manufacture batteries are sold to numpties who do no research generally it's more profitable to sell rubbish.
Yep agree with you 100% there That's been my experience as well.

If you want the most out off your battery, try under volting your cpu using tegrak overclocking app. This way your bound to last every day with battery to spare even while watching 3 hours off video.

Many of the threads discussing battery replacements in this section are dispersed and old.
However,
I'm asking for help with updated opinions/recommendations/insights please.
I have a Note 3 (5.0) N9005 - original Samsung battery, and it needs replacement.
Problem: As I have a spigen neo hybrid case, I want a battery that fits into the original note 3 cover.
I am looking for safe bets - companies whose batteries are not risky nor untested by members.
Obviously there is the option of another stock Samsung original - but are there established/safe alternatives that will give me better 'juice' than stock, but still fit in the original cover?
My thanks to any that are willing to share their advice/opinions & contribute.
Capt. M
I just recently bought a anker for my note 3 they are trusted and a very respected company. Look for a anker on amazon for your note 3. Yes it will fit same exact size. I use to have neo hybrid. They give you a warranty as well.

Why did you choose the anker over stock?
On the anker website - there also have customer reviews of each product. Some of the note 3 battery reviews are quite poor?
I chose anker because my brother bought one for his note 4 I already knew of anker and needed a battery, he said it was great. Reviews are hit and miss take them with a grain of salt, I've bought a power add Apollo charger and love it works flawless yet on amazon where I bought it many reviews are negative. Also companies can and do hire people for good and bad reviews. The original battery is hard to find unless you directly contact Samsung they can be rather annoying with customer service with my run ins I've had with them over chargers. Most if not all Samsung OEM for note 3 on amazon are knock offs there fake. If I'm unhappy with the battery I can still return it, they gave me and everyone a warranty, they have good packaging and they only use grade A cells, from what I've experienced and my brother I believe they are great. I hope this helps if you need more info message me anytime.
Hi,

Anker for me long time user.
I'm interested in finding a solution that genuinely gives me an advantage over a samsung oem battery.
Is it true that no oem batteries were produced after 2014?
The manufacture date is printed on the battery. One of the things pushingme away from oem is that they will be 2-3 years old, and kept in storage for a long time.

Why did you choose the anker over others?
Has it given you any issues?

Thanks mod. Was worried that viewers would loose interest in my thread!
I havr a question for those with a sammy oem battery. The date of manufacture is printed on the battery. Does anybody have one dated later than 2014???

I chose anker because my brother bought one for his note 4 I already knew of anker and needed a battery, he said it was great. Reviews are hit and miss take them with a grain of salt, I've bought a power add Apollo charger and love it works flawless yet on amazon where I bought it many reviews are negative. Also companies can and do hire people for good and bad reviews.

Thank you for the info, I always thought that any non-samsung battery may run the risk of setting fire to your phone. I'll have to give that one a try

Do these fit in the original case? Any overheating issues?

Many of the threads discussing battery replacements in this section are dispersed and old.
However,
I'm asking for help with updated opinions/recommendations/insights please.
I have a Note 3 (5.0) N9005 - original Samsung battery, and it needs replacement.
Problem: As I have a spigen neo hybrid case, I want a battery that fits into the original note 3 cover.
I am looking for safe bets - companies whose batteries are not risky nor untested by members.
Obviously there is the option of another stock Samsung original - but are there established/safe alternatives that will give me better 'juice' than stock, but still fit in the original cover?
My thanks to any that are willing to share their advice/opinions & contribute.

Now, I see that you want a battery that fits the original cover, but many folks here can recommend the ZeroLemon 10 000 mAh battery. I'm using one.
Advantages:
+ comes with a dual layer TPU case with hard plastic shell;
+ you can get 2 to 3 days of extremely heavy usage, 5, if you are moderate, and a whole week with light usage (once did 6 days with 38% battery left, got tired of trying to drain it all the way and charged it, screenshots attached).
Disadvantages:
- the thing becomes really ugly, thick and heavy, you better have big pockets and strong belts. Yes, that's the only disadvantage. Well, if you change SD or SIM cards frequently, that would be a disadvantage too.
After the first calibration charges and discharges of the battery, it takes some 6 hours to charge from 0 to 100%, but 6 hours of charging for 3 days of extreme usage - that's more than a fair deal for me.
I'm in two minds. Oem vs third party.
Problem with oems are, it seems that the last production run was 2014???
Is it really the case that I'd have to purchase a two year old battery that has been in storage for that time?
First of all I checked my original battery and there is no manufacturing date that I can see, the closest I can come to date is serial number, but no idea how to decode it. Did they put manufacturing date later on?
2. if you want/need original size don't expect big capacity improvements: same size will have similar capacity give or take tolerances and chemistry need to be similar due to charging/ voltage.
3. Especially in the phone which is charged almost daily, number of cycles is more important than age. I have Li ion batteries probably almost 10 yrs old that still work, more or less.
4. There was suspicion that some OEM batt sold around were used and therefore already partially worn out.
5. If you use NFC, make sure the new battery has NFC antenna, some don't and NFC won't work there.
I bought battery called Stalion for about $10, it has NFC antenna, it holds charge as well as new OEM and if it wears out faster than OEM ( so far all's good, 6 months and counting) I'll buy new one for $10, not worth worrying about.
But if Note 6 will be as good as the rumors suggest this is all non issue in 3 months anyway.

Can you give me some more info on no. 4. his is new to me.
When I was looking for OEM batteries on Amazon (some stuff is sold by Amazon partners, not Amazon directly BTW ) some people left comments that batt. they got lasted less than old one they just replaced, some commented that they see scratches, like they were used, some said they didn't get original packaging, another commented that advertising never said those were brand new etc. etc. while others had no problem . Actually if what you said is true about OEM ending production in 2014, all those negative comments begin to make sense. At the end all those negative comments turned me off, to the point I bought off brand (Stalion) and I'm pretty happy with it.
for example here http://www.amazon.com/Samsung-Galaxy-Note-Standard-Battery/dp/B00F3583S8 22% gave 1 star, that's one in five.
I like Anker but little luck with this phone for some reason . One works and other doesn't. The Anker do have NFC. Problem with OEM is that most are fake. Have several of those and 2/3 didn't last a month.
Hello everyone !
I've use my poco f1 quite a lot this year and tried many mods/stuff on it and the battery got a bit old now, so I want to change it. It doesn't look too difficult to do it but when buying it I found different models.
I wanted to know if it's dangerous to buy a battery that has a bigger capacity than the original one, here is the one I found (on the website folk battery, 5400mAh, I can't post a link)
It sounds cool to be able to move to a bigger one but I don't know if jt's safe.
Please tell me if you know about it or if you know what model I should buy instead of this one.
Thanks in advance !
I've read the reviews for a battery similar to the one you are probably talking about. The battery is poorly made and is barely 2500mAh let aside the 5400mAh advertised.
Please buy battery only from Authorized Service Center.
But on a realistic note, original Poco battery costs around 2k including service. That's 14% percent the cost of a new Poco.

Thanks a lot, I'll buy an official one and changing it by myself doesn't look that hard
if it is original or good brand such as anker---just go ahead !!
from a long time i tested it for samsung s3 neo and it was totally impressive (it was anker battery with doubled capacity )
