Battery information for everybody that still owns an Xperia X Compact - Sony Xperia X Compact Guides, News, & Discussion

Hi, everybody!
If you are using an Xperia X Compact to this day, I would assume you have noticed that it's almost impossible to find a new battery.
FYI, the battery is interchangable with the Z5 Compact's battery, at least so does PolarCell report here: https://www.polarcell.de/en/mobile-...battery-for-sony-xperia-z5-compact-e5823.html
If anybody is interested and would like to (at least try and) extend their phone's battery life using some reputable brand's battery, this might be your shot.
In case you are asking yourselves why I am writing this and how I found this, well it's because I am in the same situation with my XZ1 Compact: no reputable batteries to be found anywhere and the Sony originals are old as all hell (20W32, 20W31, 20W45 - basically year 2020, month of August; at best October).

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.

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 )

but that's original!!
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:

battery 3200 mAh ,, solution ???

i saw many complains for the battery life
and would like to know if anyone try this battery 3200 mAh
it is on ebay for 18$
w w w.ebay.com/itm/3200mAh-Extended-Battery-Sony-Ericsson-Xperia-X10-Black-/280667450223?pt=PDA_Accessories&hash=item4159156b6f
((kill the space ))
does it make the battery last more ?? or it is a fake ??
i will buy x10 this month but it is used ,, so i want to know if there a test to know either the battery works good or not ??
Hello, I tried something like that, but took it off fast because it made my phone bulky and ugly. However, it does last longer, about 170%-180% I used it only when i knew I'll stay away from power sources for a while.
And the one i used got hotter than the stock one.

and what is about gold 2430 mAh ?? it is the same size of the stock one and larger
and does the heat produce from it harm the mobile ??
thnx for ur reply
I never used the gold 2430, it seems to have 95%+ positive feedback on sites, and it seems to be identical in size with the original battery. I would've probably gone for that one if it was available.
The heat doesn't harm your mobile as it's not that hot, but it affects the battery life on long run. It didn't matter to me because i didn't use it as my main battery, but I think, when used as a main battery it will be very long until it will last noticeably less.
I would go for the gold 2430 because it can fit in the original case, and you can carry the original battery if you need it, without the need of a second back cover.
Good luck!

I'm using the 2600mAh extended version for my x10i and I think that the capacity of this battery is real

Battery Problem

Is there any 3rd party company which sells high capacity batteries for Xperia P ????
Haven't found it yet. It is a relatively old phone and not used by most people. You can find high capacity extended battery for Galaxy S3, S4 which are old mode too, but hard to find high capacity battery for Xperia P.

Switching to a new battery

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 )

2 hours sot, is it worth to buy battery from official lg service center?

As title says. Is it worth it? I'm hoping to at least getting 4-5 sot with real original battery from the lg itself.
Before this i bought a battery from a random merchant with good testimonies. But the battery i got cause the phone to turn off itself while still having about 30% percentage after few months.
So should i giving a hope to this phone or buy a new phone with gigantic battery capacity?
Original batteries that you may find have all been produced some years ago, I think that would be better to buy a recently made aftermarket battery, such as VHBW or Patona. Throwing away the last flagship phone designed with a replaceable battery because you don't want to change the battery is nonsense: with 30€ you can buy two or three batteries.

I can't find available stock for both those brands you mentioned.
And also I live Indonesia, I guess I'll give a try to come to service center and see if they still have a battery stock

I suggest you do yourself/have somebody adapt the s7edge cell to the G5 circuitry. On r/LGG5 you should find all the info on this - other paths may be getting a third party G5 replacement, but be wary of inflated claims (3000 mAh is the most you can fit in the G5 OEM battery form factor.
