Just got that for Christmas as i had it on my wish list for a while, having the current battery life of OB
First impression is very good. There is extensive review on Amazon Uk which i can only agree with.
It came nearly fully charged , a good set of adapters. So far recharged twice from 50% to 100% and battery is still on 3rd mark.
Capacity is 5000mAh and even with the losses during charging should do two full recharges from 0 to 100 and a bit left.
Will do further report of performance in few days.
P.s . It was 19.98 uk pounds
http://www.amazon.co.uk/gp/aw/d/B000NDQ92W/ref=mp_s_a_5?qid=1324879765&sr=8-5
There are quite few more batteries they do up to 11000 mAh but i thought 5000 mAh should be fine.
The higher the capacity the longer the charging time fir the pack.
How much did it cost ?
Will be waiting for your experience; overall lifetime, any heating issues etc..
Price added
First drain finished , three half recharges from 50 to 100 .
Now the recharge of the unit took 6 and a half hours (factory data states 8 on 1A charger) still few cycles to get to full potential. The first recharges were on factory charge.
Also to consider there are two outlets, 500mA and 1A. Performance wise better to use the 500A as the phones battery is gonna last longer and there is gonna be more recharges accomplished before depleting the battery. Obviously when on the go one might want the 1A as being faster, but downside is more electricity loss on both sides.
Big minus - charge indicator nearly useless as it stays forever on 3 than goes just about straight to 1 .
I mean two charges from 15 to 100 and from 20 to 100 and while on 85 % of the second charge it still shows 3 lines on 90 porcent it shows 1 line and not very long after that dies.
Also the on of button is easy to press and if left on battery will become depleted .
So value for money definately is there just do not trust the indicator as it might turn you are left with hardly any back up juice.
On a final line played 3 hours games this afternoon ( Riptide and InertiaHD) , started with 12 porcent battery and now have 54. Woop woop.
Not too bad (apart from stupid charger still showing 3 lines arghhh)
P.s.
After few more cycles will try how many zero to full charges can be achieved
Thanks for sharing your experience. I am too planning to buy one now; will see if any good deal is available in local market than online deals.
Plenty of similar products on the market, best to buy something with viable feedback and reasonable capacity. After all even the best battery dies in no more than 3-4 years.
My experience is exactly as i expected, there were much more refined batteries but at way higher price and at the end all i cared for was 2+ full recharges
One more issue, i tried to charge the pack with my OB charger as it is 1A so it should be 8 hours charging time instead of 11 hours with the 500mA one i was using.
But after all night being plugged it was still charging with one light lit and the second one blinking (the blinking line is the stage of charging) .
After a check saw that the OB charger is 4.8 volts while the generic 500mA one i used initially is 5.2 volts.
Just keep that in mind in case you have issues with another battery pack. There must be enough voltage if not the charging might fail.
I'm keeping an eye on it as i have a month to return if not happy with it
Ok, final update.
I had already for two Weeks and have been charging my OB exclusively on it.
As i quotes before lg charger doesn't work, but any 5volt USB wall charger should be ok (500mA to 1A)
To be precise in the calculations i reverted to rooted stock with no running apps and no connections active. Phone charged two full times from 4-5 percent to 100 in the usual time as when on wall charger, and tHird charge gave about 20 before it switched of.
Indicators still not reliable. Until 60 percent in the second charge it showed 3 lines, than for 15 minutes showed two and when it came to 70 percent showed 1.
Blinking started about 5 minutes before it died.
So that's my rounds of the gadget.
Hope it have been useful to someone.
Now reverted to CM7 charging takes longer and even stops if i use the phone actively. But i love CM

i got this on eBay in the late spring, and have been using them for the summer and fall: i like them. Abt $14USD i think it was: Good purchase.
i can't say whether they're really 1870mAh, nor how much longer they last compared to the stock HTC 1620mAh battery. My stock battery had been constantly abused for 2 1/2 years 24/7, sometimes being charged 3 times a day, so it's lost some of it's original capacity, and these new batteries definitely last longer than it does: that's all i can say for sure.
A few other things are certain: the HTC battery is listed as 1620mAh at 3.8VDC, whereas the Acesoft battery is listed as 1870mAh at 3.7VDC. That .1V makes a difference.
The chip in the Acesoft battery limits it's top voltage to 4.2V, whereas that in the HTC cell limits it to 4.3V.
The wall charger that comes with the package tops out at 4.2V. That means it'll charge the Acesoft cells to 100%, but will only charge the HTC stock battery to around 87%-90%; it'll take a charger that goes to 4.3V to charge it to 100%. It's a slow charger too, listed at 350mA current, and takes 6 hours to charge the Acesoft cells from empty to full. Charger also has a USB port listed at 800mA.
i don't have a problem with any of that. Others might. i'm happy to have a cell fone that takes interchangeable batteries, and happy to have 2 spare batteries to carry around. Slow charging means it's not so hard on the batteries, and i'm mostly asleep anyway during that period.
In normal use, the Acesoft battery will last a day with some spare capacity, and i've made it a habit to change the thing out once a day. On days when i use the fone heavily i've stopped worrying abt it dying on me. Just change the battery out when it does.
Don't charge the fone via USB anymore.
i get the impression one of these Acesoft batteries now last longer than the other one. That says something abt quality control of these things. Haven't tested it empirically, and don't care. It's a very minor difference so far. Just having spares and a wall charger more than makes up for all those worries.
Now that the Vivid/Raider has available Android 4.3.1 via the much appreciated efforts of Albinoman887 and friends, i'll likely buy another 2 of these batteries, switch to the Lightning launcher, and keep using the thing rather than buying a new fone.
It's all good.
Will the Sony Z3c have the ability to fast charge?
It has the supported chipset 'Qualcomm Snapdragon 801'
Wonder if the moto turbo charger will work, or if Sony will bring out their own variant.
Sony's included EP880 charger outputs 1.5 amps and I've read that it provides 60 minutes of talk time from a 10 minute charge. Not sure if that's exactly quick charge but it should be faster then a regular 1 amp charger.
In the latest phonearena review (today) it says:
Sony also claims that the Z3 Compact has fast charging capabilities and can get 60 minutes of talk time from a 10 minute charge. Stay tuned for more details on charging speeds soon.
Source: http://www.phonearena.com/reviews/Sony-Xperia-Z3-Compact-Review_id3794/page/4
well i found this on a google search https://www.qualcomm.com/products/snapdragon/smartphones/sony-xperia-z3-compact
Nothing scientific, but I am using a Blackberry Playbook charger (1.8A output) and this thing charges FAST. I can gain like 40% charge in 30 minutes or so.
I can confirm that it charges fast. Full charge in less than 2 hours this morning.
Some days ago i charged it for 20 minutes in the morning and got 25% more juice. At the end of the day, with moderate use (taking into account that this is my new favourite toy) I had only lost 20%.
I don't know if quickcharge is available or working, but I'm more than happy with the battery and charge performance.

Yea default charger is 1.5A but it gets the job done.
To power up, you consume Red Bull. But your phone just needs its adaptive fast charger. Rate this thread to express how quickly the Google Pixel 2 can charge. A higher rating indicates that it charges extremely fast.
Then, drop a comment if you have anything to add!
I am horrifically disappointed in this device's charging speed.
I was very pleasantly surprised by how fast this phone charges, untill the past few days. Now all the sudden it seems very average. "Charging Rapidly" is not anywhere near as impressive now as it was. Has anyone else experienced this? I want to figure out if it's just the phone (I have seen other slow charging complaints but not this specifically), or if I caused it.
I installed that stock kernel with security pass patch, twrp beta1, Magisk 14.4.2, and Viper4Arise. Pretty confident that it's not any of those things, but everything else is pretty standard.
This is the case with the charger that came with the P2 in box, the older N5x charger, and the usb-c car charger. I know the new P2 one is stronger, but the change is noticable all around.
My 'Charging Rapidly' also does not seem to be all that rapid, using the charger that came in the box and can take quite a while to get to 100%.

It takes hours to get to 100%. I recently got hold of a USB-A to USB-C cable and plugged the phone into my Nexus 6 brick. The difference was astounding. Full charge in about 1.5 hours. It's sickening that I spent the money on this phone only to have it be so disappointing. I'm a diehard Google fanboi but this is ridiculous.
Definitely miss my 1+5 dash charge. Damn that thing was fast.
Some numbers, today I connected my phone at 19% with stock charger.
- 30 min charge: 19% to 56%
- 40 min charge: 19% to 67%
I don't think that's bad, it's definitely not FAST, nor regular. But considering all the issues the 6P had with batteries, I don't really want to charge my battery in less than one hour. (Specially now that the phone has at least 3 years of updates, I'd like to have 90% of battery life or more in 3 years)
I'll have to do another test, something like from 35% to 80% (this would be more real life, I only need a 2nd charge when I'm traveling in a city with a power bank, using Maps and Camera all the time).
Ultra fast charging and wireless charging are some of the features that I care less in the phone. I want some fast charging between 30% and 90%, but I don't require it to be extremely fast.
TL : DR: If you value an ultra fast charging over other things in a phone, definitely skip the Pixel 2.
p2's charging current is capped at 2700ma (could be up to around 3200ma by kernel hax), meanwhile high battery temperature (over 45 Celsius degrees) and others things such as screen state will cap the current more (half or more)
Without those restricts, fully charge time should be around a hour.

wow, almost 3 hours. it's really long
For the last few years I've been reading that it's best to charge your battery at around 30-40% up to 80 or 85%.
Despite this possibly being the best practice, I don't see much point in paying for a $1200+ with a 4100mah battery and only using 40-50% of it's capacity.
So do you charge at around 10% and then go up to a hundred?
Generally I charge when I need to. I like to be topped up to a 100% when I leave the house. Maybe this isn't best practice. I could wait until it get to about 20% but I am wary about using all the battery cycles up.
PLUS I doubt you're going to get 6-7 out SOT if you charge at around 30 or 40%.
So what do you guys do with your s10e, 10s or s10 +?
Charge it whenever. Why the heck limit myself to 60% (say from 20-80% when even my usage pattern won't cause the battery to wear down to 80% capacity over that same time frame by my charging methods?
I also don't tend to keep my phones for more than a year, so wear level doesn't really affect me much
There is no way to "charge it best". Just use it and charge it when needed.
People take out of date "battery knowledge" from the NiCAD battery days and think that modern batteries develop "memories" and things and that hasn't been the case in decades... Just use it and don't worry about it. A battery is only gonna last 2 years at best anyways, so who cares if you shorten that by 2 months?
I normally charge my S10 from 25% to 90%.
The battery of my previous S7 Edge started suffering after almost a year and a half because I used to always keep it charging overnight.
If you don't intend to keep using your phone for more than a year, then don't limit charging your phone. Even in the case it wears off after a year, you can get your battery replaced by Samsung and start fresh again.
I charge mine around 20-30% all the way to 100% . Then unplugged it whenever I need to.
Is there a good "battery charge limit" app that doesn't require root or Magisk? I used Battery Charge Limit (https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.slash.batterychargelimit&hl=en_US) and it works great, but requires root privilege. It allows you to set upper and lower limits for charging, so you don't overcharge or let your battery drain.
Batteries don't overcharge. They hit 100% and then trickle charge...
Li-Ion batteries are durable and easy to maintain, you can't overcharge them and also the charging cycles doesn't matter - when you use the integrated Charing electronics in your device. You can charge it for a few minutes over the whole day without losing any capacity. Only over the time the capacity will get lower and lower, but this is an issue you can't avoid.
The charging controller in your device cares about voltage and loading current, never put a current on a Li-Ion battery without current limiter and voltage regulator.
But Li-Ion are very sensitive to mechanical damages and production faults.
Thanks for all the advice guys. Nice to see that most of us feel the same way.
Agree with the others. Technically, for optimum life, they say it's best to be between 40%-80%.
But really, just charge it when you need to charge it. Don't worry about numbers or percentages. If you're only going to own the device for a few years, no matter how you charge your device, it's going to have absolutely no affect on the battery over that time. It'll still be holding almost the same amount of charge in a couple of years regardless of which "charging strategy" you use.
TLDR: don't worry about percentage, charge it when you feel like it or when it needs it.
Go here and follow these principles. End off.

I always stay in the range from 40/50% to 75/80% on my Galaxy Note 8 which I had for 18mos.
Accubattery shows it still has 97% capacity.

so you probably charge ur phone 6 times a day? no thanks
@SquireSCA I believe it's a narrow-minded approach to say that the phone battery will "last 2 years at best anyways, so who cares". I'm currently still rocking my Samsung Galaxy S5 which I bought brand new just over 5 years ago now on it's original battery. The battery is by no means like it was when it was new, but it will still last a day of light usage, and still runs perfectly fine with Android 5 installed. This preservation of the battery comes after years of charging it slowly on a charger outputting less than 1 amp and also making sure it rarely goes below 20%, spending most of it's time between 20%-80%.
If you you want to double your battery life you have to keep your li-ion battery between 3.7V and 4.2V. you have to stop the charge when the battery reach 4.2V so it means you have to keep your battery between 15%-85%.
---------- Post added at 09:24 AM ---------- Previous post was at 09:22 AM ----------
Personally I keep my battery between 15-85% which is sufficient to double it's battery life for a 3-year usage without big losses
Idk i heard ppl saying you should let it completely drain and recharge at least once a month. i charge at 15%. Oh well i only keep this phone for a year and then sell it.
It's mostly BS. There are hundreds of charging theories and no battery experts here so pick one and go with it. Pick the wrong one and instead of getting 8 hours on your batter 2 years down the road you'll probably only get 7.5 hours.
THROW YOUR 120W CHARGER AWAY.
Get a charger for around 65W.
Get a decently good brand. ( I'm using Anker, 65W Mi Charger is also good. )
Anything below 30W would be too slow to charge your phone. Not really practical.
Personally tested a 10W charger, did not work out for me as it doesn't give me the same battery performance.
In my opinion, Xiaomi played us on this one. The 120W charger is a marketing gimmick. I don't think it charges the phone to 100% even though it shows 100%. Either that, or it messes with the battery calibration. As soon as I charge with a 65W charger, the battery goes back to performing properly. By that I mean, lasts me the entire day, and I still have 35-40% remaining the next day on medium usage like maps, streaming. On heavy usage, it still gives me great battery.
I'm 100% sure, you will notice the difference if you switch away from 120W charger as it will drastically extend the battery.
If you have already experienced the difference or made the switch, please do share your experience. On the stock xiaomi charger provided with the phone, the battery life is really terrible, the same usage gets me barely to the end of the day.
If you're still not satisfied by the drastic difference made by the charger only.

How to increase the battery life of the Xiaomi 11T / T Pro
Hello guys, I want to tell you about the adjustments that I have made to my Xiaomi 11T Pro and that have improved battery consumption, keeping the refresh rate of the screen at 120Hz. I would appreciate if you could tell me how it went...
forum.xda-developers.com
It will be simply because it is a fast charger, incredibly fast, and you can't completely charge lithium batteries fast, there is always a slow end stage that will take an hour or more regardless of how many watts the charger is. The last top off stage, or saturation stage on lithium cells needs by definition to take time and will charge at a lower current and it has to be slower.
They are showing 100% on fast charging, but that's only the bulk charge capacity with a lot of the saturation stage not done, so you don't get full capacity. The 100% indicator is saying you've charged as much as you can fast, but it might only be 70% actually full. If it is left on the charger, it will likely wait until the temperature has dropped then continue for an hour or so completing the saturation charge, all while still indicating charging is complete, but if you remove it from the charger the moment it hits 100%, then it's not the same 100% you'd get by leaving for a couple of hours.
If they indicated 100% correctly as being as charged as it can be, it will take 20 minutes on fast charge plus an hour or two for the saturation stage to be done, so doesn't quite sell as well!
Xiaomi are cheating somewhat by saying 0 to 100% in x time on fast charge, as the definition of 100% when fast charging is changed.
Personally I just charge over night at 5 watt, better for the battery and you get full capacity.

Great insight, they should have mentioned it in a different way instead of saying it's 100% charged. But then that ain't gonna earn them any bucks.
Are you getting a good battery life on 5W? As when i was using the 10W charger and use the phone at the same time it would take forever to charge. And the battery sot wasn't as good as well compared to 65W sot for similar usage.
I also use 10w (5v 2A) and can get for about 8h of sot, charging time is in my case takes about 2:20h from 17-100%Its not that bad, and i prefere slow charging time anyway, i only use 120w when in hurry

If you are using the phone at the same time as charging, you are of course using a chunk of that 5 watts to power the phone, so whilst your battery may not be discharging, there isn't much left over to charge it up.
I always charge overnight as I easily get a day if not a few days from a single charge as I'm not using it much currently as working from home, but if you need to top up during the day whilst still perhaps using it, you would need a charger with a bit more wattage.
Also note that whilst it may say 100% charged, that could represent anywhere from say 95% to 100% actual charge. This is because lithium cells can not be trickle charged, so when charging it will get to being a full capacity, then charging stops, the battery is allowed to discharge several percent before automatically being topped up again, and the cycle continues. So depending on where in that cycle you take the phone of charge, you might be really at 100%, but could equally be at 95%. Because people would complain if the true charge status was shown, i.e. people leave the phone on charge all night and its still only showing 95% in the morning simply because it's on the discharge stage of the discharge/top up cycle when they look at it, they would complain, so 100% is shown from say anywhere between 95% and 100% of real charge state. This applies to all devices. It is why sometimes you take your phone of charge at 100% and it seems to stay at 100% for some time, and other times it starts going down soon after you've unplug it from the charger. Google on their Pixels have an adaptive battery setting and use the alarm clock you've set to know when you are getting up, so they make sure they time that cycle so that you get the phone at a real 100% capacity.
Good thread fellas. Yeah 120w it's just a thing you should use when there's not another option or your in a real rush. And by using it your battery calibration might get confused.
It's as the OP mentioned, with 120w you can feel that your battery life is shorter than charging with lower wattages.
IMO and experience I calibrated my phone's battery (drained it to 0 let it turn off , leave it unattended for around 10 min, then charge it with a 10w while still turned off if possible. And leave it charging 1h more after it says 100%) and b ayer doing so my 11t pro finally became the 2-day phone it should have been from day one.
I personally prefer to charge mine with a 18w (1h20min) or a 22.5w (1h) during the day. 10w it's just for overnight, it's just to long 2h40min or more.
This might be the reason why Samsung nor Apple has not yet jump into bandwagon of 100w-ish charging. Even not to 65w. It just my hunch though. Still, 100w-ish charging might be life changing in certain situation. And if I recall correctly, the most ideal percentage to charge Li-On is around 80-ish, that might the actual percentage that we get if we charge to 100% with 100w-ish charger.
To be honest i tried 33w charger and 120w charger and battery performance for me is the same(4.5sot + 6 background yt music)
The thing is when u use 120W charger and battery go 100% you have to let it charge 5-10 min more because is not fully charged.
You can check with app called ampere(download from playstore)

Please try a 65W charger from xiaomi or anker, i guarantee you the difference. Sot also depends on the usage, but there will surely be a drastic increase in the battery capacity.
And i completely agree to your point on trickle charging. But unfortunately, it does not justify the 4 hrs sot difference im getting after charging my phone through different chargers. 65W gives me 8 hours, whereas 120W full charge gives me around 4 hours.
I feel xiaomi really just did this as a marketing gimmick and did a half hazard job at it.

Like i previously mentioned as well in the above post, trickle charging or that 5-10% of charge shouldnt make the difference im experiencing after switching chargers. 4 hours sot difference is no joke. Its literally half battery capacity.
I love the phone, but Xiaomi really messed around with us on this.

Unfortunately i don't have a 65w charger :/
I get 4.5 sot because i also use yt music for 6-7 hours in background + 5g all dhe time.
The problem i noticed is that when i use my phone after charging my battery gives me good sot (5 hour non stop gaming mlbb and still have 25% left). But if i charge at night and use the phone the next day the battery drain really fast (that's why i charge every morning before i leave home).
I'm not really happy with battery life to be honest but im really happy with charging speed
+ How you guys get sot 8hrs?. I never couldn't do that with my phones( old device k20 pro average 5hrs sot)

Even after switching away from 120W charger, if you're not seeing a drastic difference, then i recommend changing the chargers to something similar to what i own (anker) about 65W or a mi charger 65W (official). Because i personally experienced the huge battery life change, and i know this phone can give a 1.5 day battery life on medium usage. On heavy usage it lasts me easily the entire day (8hours sot easy). But usage may vary. And when i was using 120W charger, it was giving me 4hours sot, with the same usage. So i know, the phone has the capacity to do it.
Maybe it could be a non branded charger issue? I'm not sure. It should show quick charging when charging via the different charger as well that way you know its getting the juice it requires.
Rocking a Xiaomi 67W charger and so far not much difference. I'm using the phone out of the box, I am not switching back to 60hz since whats the point of buying it if you wont use 120hz. Lets see after a few more cycles.
EDIT: After using this 67W for 2 days now, battery life is the same. IT might not be the charger but going back to 60 Hz might be the reason some ppl had improved battery life. I will return back to 120W since I prefer the ultra fast charging while the phone stays cool at the same time (mine is at 40-41 degrees C and it charges around 20 minutes)
EDIT 2: Tried 60hz for a day, since I was out with family, it noticeably improved battery life even though I charged with the 120W adapter. Hopefully Xiaomi adds a dynamicswitch feature for us soon or a 90hz option

I tried using my phone on 120hz for a day or two, i get like an hour less compared to 60hz i find a major difference in battery even with 120hz enabled.
Not sure why. But if it works, it works.
Also just to clear my experience, i never use this phone on 120hz, even when i initially was using the 120w charger. It has always been set to 60hz for me, as i like to save battery wherever i can.
Update: Using accubattery, when my phone reached 100%, its still taking in current around 1500-2000mah range (around 10-15w) and its trickle charging the battery. The estimated capacity when reaching 100% is around 2200 mah(times 2 since our phone is a dual cell battery) then letting it trickle charge for a few minutes (an extra 10) made the capacity to 2550(which is around 5100 mah) and by doing so I am easily getting 6-7 hr sot on 120HZ. It may be a marketing trick to reach 100% in an instant but leave it plugged in for an extra 10 mins or so to get more screen on time.
quite great battery life

Don't trust the apps. Find some real volt meter.

Amazing!
MIUI 13 by any chance?
I am on miui 13 official, had heavy battery drain on miui12.5, disabled miui optimizations and now everything is good
Edit: apparently the program that handles battery changed after disabling miui optimizations, maybe it's a bug related issue
