Like title says.. I've been trying to find a extended battery which has higher capacity yet the size of the original battery but no luck
Does anyone know if there is one and where to fine one
Thanks

are you sure that's even possible ? unless the battery was made of some other kind of materials, I have tyrouble seeing how you could store more power in the same battery size.
If you don't want a bigger phone, Your best bet would probably be to buy a second standard battery but it's a hassle to swap the battery when it's empty
If the battery is the same size it could in theory have more juice but it would be negligible. Seriously though, I picked up a charging cradle with battery charging slot and 2 spare batteries for $20. I also have a car charger and 3 chargers in my house. Unless you get a battery that is about double the size, you won't see a big difference and even then many batteries don't live up to their specs. Chargers and spare batteries are cheap. We're not dealing with smartphones of a decade ago where everything was proprietary and would cost at least $30 a pop.

I remember reading something about this... I think it might have even been on this forum but it was something along the lines of "Don't you think, if it were possible to fit more juice into the same size battery, that samsung wouldn't do that with their OEM batteries?"
Samsung, and I'm sure many other major device manufacturers don't just buy a battery off ebay and throw it in their phones. they spend time and money researching better battery technologies to get the best power/life they can.
It's my second day with an Andida 1850mAh battery, no big changes yet compared to my 8 month old 1500mAh OEM battery, i'll post back after a few complete drain and charge cycles.

Be careful buying those batteries. More often than not they just repackage 1500 batteries and Mark up the price :/

After 3 complete charge cycle its a little bit better than OEM but no big improvement. I'll see in a few more days.
I finally get about 15% better battery life. For the 20$ it cost me, I'm happy.

How long have you had the battery? I'm looking for a new one as well but not if I am going to get scammed. Thanks!
Not Nexus related, but I have a vibrant that I got the Galaxy S 2 Epic 4G Touch battery for recently. Battery life went from about 6 hours to dead (month old 1500 mAh replacement battery bought at a phone hut) to 34 hours to dead (new samsung 1800mAh battery.) Nothing else changed.
My point is this:
1. If the above statements about samsung packing in as much as possible are true, why didn't the vibrant have a 1800mAh battery from the start? (hint, it is always about money.)
2. Take a crap 1500 mAh battery, slap a 1800 mAh sticker on it. People that buy these batteries will see an improvement because most generally they are replacing a worn out battery with a new one. Of course you will see an improvement, your worn out stock battery has only (arbitrary number) 600 mAh worth of usefulness left. The replacement is new and is not worn yet. (All arbitrary numbers follow) So, you will still see an improvement if you take a rated 1500mAh battery, that is labeled 1800mAh, but is in actuality only 1000mAh.
So asking if there is another, bigger, better battery for the Nexus made by Samsung, is a very valid question. So:

Because it is a device from 2 years ago (2010) and the S2 is from q3 2011. Maybe two years allowed them to cram more juice into the battery.
Maybe it wasn't viable then, to stick such a large battery, considering the power consumption of the vibrant compared to the S2. Maybe if they did the price would have gone up.
I highly doubt that Samsung would just stick different stickers on the same capacity batteries. maybe you had a defective or a non-original one. There are people that measure this kind of stuff. How much damage would Samsung's image suffer if someone found out that they sell a 1000 mAh battery with different labels and price tags?
I got a gold 2430 mah battery from ebay. http://www.ebay.com/itm/2430MAH-HIG...093799?pt=PDA_Accessories&hash=item2c5edcdce7
i don't know about it holding 2430mah, but it's far better than my 1 year old stock battery. i can post some battery usage stats later.

"Take a crap 1500 mAh battery" In this case "crap"="non oem"
I figured that would be obvious with my prior "phone hut" comment. I guess not.
----------------
I am a big fan of the OEM batteries. I have not tested a non-oem battery that will perform anywhere close to the stated specifications so far.
If you guys find some good battery reviews, tests, etc. please post up.
Keep in mind that comparing a brand new "Craptastic Brand™" battery to your old worn out OEM battery is kind of pointless for getting a feel of the comparative quality/capacity of a battery.

Well guys, this would be a first:

But hold on though. It almost looks like a plain old re wrapped Li-Ion battery. The guys feedback makes me skeptical, too. Looks like he's new to Ebay.
Thoughts?
I believe its the same old crap. They say its 1600mA. But in reality even worse than standard 1200 mA. Price talks for itself.

You know I see alot of talk about these 1600mah batteries from Japan and alot of speculation, but I have never seen anyone do any real world testing. I was planning on buying one of the 1600mah batteries and doing a setcpu stress test on it as well as the stock battery and record the results of how long it took each to fully discharge.

Do it! If you become the guinea pig and the battery is indeed better, then you would be a hero in these parts lol.
The last battery I bought was a 'genuine' htc 1200mah from an amazon seller, turned out to be a fake that was obviously not htc.
Be careful with testing unknown batteries from unreliable sources, the fake one I had got very hot and was a poor fit into the phone. These phones are very temperature sensative and you would not want a lithium fire inside your HD2!
So is anyone willing to do some battery tests? I would be so happy if I could use a 1600 mAh battery and not need one of those huge, bulky battery covers.

You should be very careful if you try a battery from an unknown or not certificated source. I read about many cases, where people bought some cheap batteries which turned into a little bomb, because of some reason. and i don't know if i want to end up in a roll chair for my whole life just because of a 20€ cheaper battery. A battery can damage your phone not only by heat. Such batteries have also some extra hard- AND software for controlling purposes integrated and if there's a problem, it could cause other problems in your phone.
The normal 1230mAh battery is not very bad, one day for such a huge display and some other features is enough. and if i have to go to the jungle and can't charge my phone i will buy the bigger battery and won't mind about the thickness of my phone ^^
Just my thinkings

I actually can confirm, I can go with my phone with minimal to moderate use for several days. But when I am at work and playing with it nonstop - 4 hours maximum. That is why I got myself a GTMax battery

I would also agree with this statement. None-the-less, I ordered one of the 1600mah batteries yesterday. We're gonna have to wait a few weeks for it to clear customs however before I can do any testing.
Not the first...
I have the andida 1600 Ma and it is labeled as Lithium Polymer.
I bought a 1600 mAh labeled battery from eBay which came with very good packaging and even a tin case. The labels on the sticker make it seem fancy and trustworthy. However, in my experience comparing that battery with the stock HTC 1230 mAh battery, there is no increase in uptime. On Aondroid both batteries read 1230 mAh. Even though the 1600 mAh battery claims to have that capacity it really does not. I even weighed both batteries on a scale. The 1600 mAh Li-on battery weighs less than the HTC original battery.

It's not possible that a stronger battery is as big as the stock one. most of these people only put another label on a stock battery (or rebuild battery with the same power) and sell it for a higher price. I'm sure you won't get a Li-Ion battery with the same size as the stock one but stronger. With a Li-Po battery it's makeable but not easy and they'll have a higher price because of that.

The price makes me suspicious as well. I don't notice a lot of difference in device up time with my Andida battery, but it is still new and it may increase as I get past those initial cycles.
... if I don't reflash more NRG ROMs! They give strange readings for the first few battery cycles after a flash. I just flashed one yesterday, so it will be a while before it settles down.
The Chinese knockoff battery got here today. We're about to find out if it can hold It's own once I put it through the first few charge cycles.
It's sad that I'm able to get an 1800 mAh battery for my G2 that isn't appreciably bigger than the stock 1300 mAh, but there's nothing equivalent for my HD2.
Can't you return it. There should be eBay's buyer protectiontion just say buyer gave you the wrong item
My IncS battery has been dying faster and faster as of late so I want to replace it. Any suggestions which battery I should get and how much it will cost?

OMG that capacity is awesome and the price?! Sounds way to good to be true, what could happen in worst case, I mean when u say: original or genuine or safe ?
even im not sure wt if it screws up our phone
My stock battery was getting ridiculous, if I get up at 7am and unplug the phone off the charger, the battery will be pretty much dead by 2pm (<20%).
So last week I picked up HLI-S710EXL from Mugen Power. (You need to go search it on their webiste, I can't post link due to newbie status)
I was hesitant at first because the phone could become bulky due to the extra thickness, but now I'm actually holding the phone better as the extra thickness sits right in the centre of my palm, creating a more natural grip.
Battery life is extended significantly, by the time I go to bed around midnight, usually there is still 35% left in the tank.
I know the price is a bit steep, but I think it's well worth the money, especially if you are not about to purchase a new phone in the near future. I'd totally recommend it.
i found battery 2450 in stock size on aliexpress.

If you want to buy some cheap but high quality HTC batteries online, I think you need to try the Everbuying.com.
Truth about batteries is, the manufacturer has already installed the highest capacity battery possible for the physical dimensions of the battery. I've purchased them gold batteries and many other( higher capacity rated for the same physical size) batteries and they seem to be a tad better than original battery for a few weeks but then quickly diminish in capacity to a point way below your stock battery. If you want more mAH from a battery to fit into inc s you must look into extended batteries where the physical size of the battery has been increased. A word of warning too with all these cheap batteries is that most if not all of them have no inbuilt thermal protection circuitry and therefore the posibility exists of thermal runaway caused by batteries being charged when they are too hot to be charged- eg hot summers day in a car...

Hi everyone,
I was looking through the Nexus 5 batteries on AliExpress and found the following offers for 3200 mAh nexus 5 batteries:

Has someone already tested these? It seems to be created only for the Nexus 5.
It could be really nice to have a 40% increase in battery life just for 10$ !
Considering the price, it would be great if this worked. Do you have the link to reddit thread?

Added to post above but there is no interaction yet I'm trying to find someone who tested it !
Nice find Any volunteers ? I wonder if the battery actually delivers this capacity since it is the same size as the 2300 mAh battery ? We´re talking about +900mAh extra capacity in the same size ? It sounds suspicious to me but on the other hand, if the battery actually delivers the capacity, it will save me trouble of having to modify a Polarcell 3200mAh battery made for a LG G2 in order to be usable in a Nexus 5
My experience with Chinese batteries goes back 3 years ago when i was not satisfied with my Gnex's battery , and tried a dozens of batteries , Some was decent and the other was horrible . Some claimed to be 2430mAh (original is 1750mAh) and some was not that greedy and stayed with 1800~2000mAh .
All of the batteries i tried shared one thing , Which is they failed to last 75% of the time the original lasted .
And please look at the size of this and compare it with the lg g2's
But who was manufacturing typo!!!!!!
2300-3200
Anyone tried this product yet? It says 15-30 days to get here. Wondering if its worth it or if the battery exploded on anyone? Does the battery hold a charge? Is it really 3200mAh?
Is it possible to use this size of battery? If can then it will be good :good:
I ordered it yesterday, it was shipped tonight. I wonderwing about the comments of exploding because it's a chinese battery. Nearly every battery comes from china.
Maybe the manufacturer have a website: http://phoenixbattery.com.pk/
If it is PhenixS
This one claims to be 3830mah. Something is fishy http://m.aliexpress.com/item/1759436097.html
One of the purchasers left feedback in Russian and says the battery is not 3830 mah, but does not mention the actual capacity.

Keep us informed !
Unless its whole new battery chemistry or a physically bigger battery its all scams.
LG already crammed the most it can cram using Li-po chem in to the physical size limits.
Of course this is a scam or a typo.
My Nexus 5's battery is absolutely outrageous now for only a 1 and a half year old phone. Won't even last till 12PM when fully charged at 7AM. I might give this shot when I have time (Exam Season )
I think there was a guy on the Reddit forum saying that the extra 3200MAH wouldn't be impossible considering that the G2 battery (which was 3000mah) would still fit in the N5. And it's only a 7% increase in nearly year and a half, not completely rubbish. Battery might be a bit bigger I think.
Anyone who's made the mistake of buying these types of batteries before will tell you: they are not the capacity advertised.
They probably aren't even 2300mAh. They also have a higher chance of exploding.
anyone actually received the battery and tested it yet?
That web sells fake batteries. I bought one for my iphone saying it was 2800mah and it was a used battery (more cycles than mine... And mine was 3.5 years old) with 1420mah

ah... thanks. Good to know.
If it is the same size and thickness, then it's going to be the same capacity, unless it is based on another chemistry. You can also weigh the battery to see if it is any heavier than the stock one. I tried some aftermarket batteries for the Gnex back in the day and when I weighed them, they actually weighed less than the stock. Which shows that it is of less capacity than the stock. From my experience, stock batteries are already at the battery's size and weight limits.
I recently just bought the 5X and I love it, yet the battery is used so I know it won't perform as good as if it was new, so what's a good battery to get? I'd prefer one that has a larger capacity than the stock, but doesn't require a modded back or anything

I've seen posts with users that performed the LG G2 battery mod (similar to the rage with the Nexus 5). IMO I wouldn't trust a ~3-3.5 year old battery however unless you somehow manage to source late-manufactured parts.
I'm actually looking at doing this myself. My current battery is dying. AccuBattery says my battery health is below 70%, and I'm only holding a 1,900mAh charge instead of the original 2,700mAh. The G2 battery is 3,000mAh. I bought a LG G2 battery (BL-T7), and a spare 5X battery (BL-T19) just in case it all goes south.
Doesn't look too hard to mod the battery, and then it's a drop in replacement. The two batteries are the same physical size, which makes it easier than the Nexus 5, which had a different size battery and required case modding.
I'm not sure how I feel about buying a G2 battery manufactured in 2013, but I doubt I could get a 5x battery made in the past 2 years anyways.

You will (possibly) have a fresh battery, but the capacity will be the same. Those batteries will be better than the one in your phone, but only because of age difference

The one I got was manufactured in 2016. It started off with a ~2,400mAh charge, but I think it's already dropped to ~2,200 mAh after a week or so. It's better than the 1,800-1,900mAh I was at before, but not phenomenal.
how do you check capacity between battery swaps?

Look on the battery, it should say on there somewhere. If not, use a battery check app
I am planning to do a little more. I have already ordered a spare battery and a back cover. I will be connecting the second battery in parallel and make a hole in the new battery cover I have ordered. For the hole, I will 3d print a fancy red cover and will stick there with superglue.
I am waiting for my order to reach, then I will update here too the result.

Hey everyone,
Just wanted to know if anyone has had any experience with using third party batteries for the N950. Specifically batteries with extended capacity. I have seen a handful of these batteries which say they have a 3600mah capacity over the stock battery capacity of 3300mah. They also say that they are Li-Po over the stock Li-Ion.
I cant post the link due to XDA rules but there are batteries available on Amazon under the title :
Galaxy Note 8 Battery ZURUN 3600mAh Li-Polymer Battery
The battery appears to have good ratings and would be a fitting upgrade for a decayed battery. I'm just asking if anybody with experience would recommend these batteries, are they real(in terms of spec), would the higher capacity effect the device negatively? And most importantly are they safe?
Any help would be appreciated!

Although I have no experience with batteries for the Note 8 as of yet, but from previous experience, I would recommend only official batteries. Even if these non official batteries are the correct mah, they will not have the same amount of cycles, so you will probably go through 2 or 3 of these batteries for the life of the official one.

Yeah good point, quite a gamble in the sense of charge cycles. Thanks for the advice!

I have had my Note 8 since the day it came out and I'm still using the same battery and I still get well over 8 hours of usage before I need to recharge it. I only charge it to 90% and I never let it discharge fully it's usually back on the charger whenever it gets near 20%. A friend of mine decided to put a 4,000 mah battery in his Note 8 only to find out that it wouldn't charge to 4,000 and it was dying much much faster than the original battery and it took even longer for it to charge back up so I wouldn't recommend getting aftermarket parts for it.

Huh, as for my device, I got it recently pre owned however the previous owner didn't take anywhere near as much care of my device as it seems your taking care of yours. So the battery capacity is pretty decayed and I've found it hard to get a healthy OEM battery online.
With my current new but unhealthy battery I wouldn't be able to protect it as I would like to by using the charging ranges you do. Tho I do really want to!
So I was thinking a new third party battery could be better than a 'new' oem. But again just another gamble it seems haha.
Thanks a lot for your advice!

Ifixit, who are reputable imo, have a link for the official battery . I would advise skipping Amazon/Ebay for it. Although it is €25, it is worth it. (They also sell all the tools you will need for replacing it and all the steps!
