Motorola BF6X Extended Battery

Does anyone have experience with the Motorola BF6X battery? Is it a legitimate OEM battery?
I purchased one from the following eBay user, but I've seen it around on other places. I will let you guys know how it is once I've got it, but I'd like feedback from others ...
http://www.ebay.ca/itm/160657767951

I've had great luck with mine so far (1 week). Ordered 2 batteries with an in-wall charger for around 10-15 bucks. Can't beat it.

Those batteries aren't the same at all ... They are cheap knockoffs with probably half the rated capacity.

I bought mine at a verizon store. After I updated to 5.6.890 I monitored batt life. Had 40% @29th hour from the first full charge (had 70% when I bought it). Wrote it down, but can't find the stat. I was trying for 48hr. Fell short by 4 or 6 hrs.? Played XGalaxy2, Txt, Email, Tweaking, little broswering. lol . I'm using a live wallpaper now so thats using energy. ps. debloated.

I agree. Get the one from Verizon. You need the new battery door. I'm using one since I received the phone, still don't get anywhere near the rated phone specifications of 300 hours standby/550minutes usage. However, the battery does make a difference for me.
The inductive charger is also a nice accessory and works with the extended battery.

I got mine from amazon (the us site I mean), payed it 29 USD + 5 euros to ship it to italy (via a proxy service).

I just ordered a genuine Motorola 1930mAh battery; I've heard too many bad things about the generics and knock-offs to buy one of those. I would avoid them.
Can you buy genuine Motorola batteries for D3 that are bigger than 1930mAh (I mean bigger power-wise, not physically)?

hi, I bought this one:
http://www.ebay.com/itm/ws/eBayISAP...52&ssPageName=ADME:L:OU:US:1123#ht_4390wt_902
It doesn't state that it comes with a new battery door... were you able to fit your battery cover on your phone with your new BF6X batterY??
or does anyone else who purchased a similar item know?

You can fit the battery in under the stock cover
but if you live in a hot area there wont be room for the battery to expand and that could cause problems

A battery of that size and capacity won't expand than the thickness of a sheet of paper. If it expands noticablly, you'd be facing a serious risk of explodsion whether if you're using the extended back or not.

BATTERIES!!!

Has any found a good source for spare batteries yet?
Always had good luck with the chinese knock offs.
While I'm on the subject, I wonder why HTC didn't just share batteries with the Sensation and Evo 3d????

<Removed>

I just did some searches on eBay for HTC Raider battery and found a bunch for sale. The model number of the battery is the same as the Vivid (I pulled out my battery and checked), so it should work fine. Pretty cheap too, they had some for like $15.98 for 3 batteries + wall charger.

I just ordered some batteries on amazon and it includes the charger. I would give you guys the link but im too new to submit links lol. Search this "Hyperion AT&T HTC Vivid 4G 2 x Battery + Charger" and you sohuld be able to find it!

Just recieved my batteries from amazon, they are 1800mah, and provide 220mah more juice than the stock battery.
I haven't noticed honestly a change in battery performance, but hell I got three of them now.

Does that charging dock that it comes with come in handy at all? And how easy is it to swap batteries when they are drained? Is it just as simple as turning off the phone, swap, turn it back on, fresh battery? Thanks! My white vivid is supposed to come in today!

I bought a pack of two 1800 mAh batteries and a wall charger from Amazon. See my testing results in this thread:

The point is that you get the most battery while still being able to use the stock battery cover and normal cases for the device.

Dont look for extended batteries on Ebay they are usually false.
There is 3300mAh Mugen for Milestone, they specialise on extended batteries and have positive reviews.
You can check it here
http://www.mugen-power-batteries.co...-milestone-with-battery-in-black-3300mah.html
Mugen ships worldwide

Few things:
First of all, I've purchased extended batteries for my OG Droid from a seller called 'edeal8' from ebay. It is generic, and lacks a temperature sensor, but it IS actually an extended battery.
That being said, if you are worried about the batteries not working, or exploding, or whatever, you can pick them up for almost nothing on Amazon.com.
I think I paid ~ $2USD for an OEM Motorola battery from them.

Cheap batteries on ebay

www.ebay.com/itm/2x-3500mAh-Battery...axy-Note-2-II-32GB-GT-N7100-new-/170915299426
It's the same label of the cheapo batteries/charger I've used for my n7000 and mytouch 4g.
They're nothing to get excited about, but for the price, you can't complain.
The shipping takes FOREVER though, so I'd suggest ordering immediately if you want them.
You'll still probably get your phone long before you get the batteries.
3100 mah battery or not, some games just eat your battery.

Anybody purchased this item from ebay? The quote is taken from the ebay listing link posted by the OP. Just be careful when ordering from ebay. I'm sure its probably just a typo from the seller, but ya never know which item he means to ship.

The ebay url youve put there is not for batteries for the note II. The note II takes a 3100mah battery your url is for 1980mah batteries but I have seen some on ebay that are for the note II. I had ebay replacement batteries and charger for my note and I have no complaints. I will be buying some later today or tomorrow.

Got them in the mail - typical hong kong shipping of 2 weeks.
They are exactly the same nature as the Note 1 batteries of similar look/brand.
They don't hold nearly as much charge as the stock battery. But bang/buck, they do quite well.
After gaming for a while (several hours) I was actually startled to see a low battery warning.
That isn't so much of a slam on these batteries, as it is a compliment to the OEM battery.
I think having these batteries as backups is perfectly fine. I'd still use the OEM as a daily driver though.

any opinions ?

Hong Kong should call their auction site fakeBay. Bought several camera batteries in the past and well its clear they just stick an extra zero on whatever capacity they have. E.g.5000 mAh battery for note2 is really 500mAh.
Save ya pennies and buy from a reliable source.
Edit- nearly forgot, 1000 mAh AAA batteries for cordless phone held less charge than the knackered 500 mAh that came with the phones. BTA i think they were. Woeful.

"Do" take a chance, Anker make superb batteries that work either equal to or better than the originals in terms of life span and quality. I've tried batteries from other manufacturers in the past and had my first Anker, all the way back when I had my HTC Desire, ever since then it's the only 3rd party battery producer I trust.
I've tried others, but they just don't compare in my opinion.

Though it's a great price I can't justify to buy it because the current battery last me 1.5-2days. What do I do with the spare battery? What do you guys do? Buy it as spare and use it once a blue moon? Or switch every so often to spread stress of battery?

I agree. I see no point in a 2nd battery for the Note 2 unless you live in a place where there is constant power outages that may last a day. But if you are in North America I see no reason.

It's $10 for americans, so half price. I ordered one, never know when you forget to charge it one might or are super low and need to go out somewhere.

Confirmed!

I'm no battery expert, but I doubt leaving a battery fully charged for a day, Is going to destroy it, that's like saying you have to remove your phone off charge once it's compete (which is recommended by all manufacturers).
If the battery gets fully charged at 3AM in the morning, I challenge you to show me a Muppet, that wakes up from sleep, just to take their phone off charge, in fear of damaging the battery due to over charging haha.
If someone does do that however.... then they seriously need to get laid and chill the hell out

I'd rather have the battery and not need it than need it and not have it. For £6 it's hardly gonna break the bank. Agreed the Note 2 has a sh*t-hot battery, but it's still new to me and i have it in use ALL the time so i'm powering through the juice at a fair rate of knots. Anyway, you can never have enough power.

True that it is cheap, only time I considered a 2nd battery is when I was nearing the end if my contract of old phone and battery was bit tired. Though buying a battery now and let it sit there for 2 years isn't really cost effective imo. I've never had batteries fail on me, I'd like to know when is a situation where I would need power but not had enough (especially with this phone).
If you hike, or its for an 'emergency' why not just buy one of those 50,000mah chargers? yes they cost more than £6 but then you can charge many devices, many times, and actually let it sit there for ages as there is a lot of mah for natural discharge.

I do have an external/portable battery charger too, but it's just not ideal when you're half way up a mountain, having a cables attached to the device you just want to whip out, check your bearing, then stick it back in your pocket again, it's just too cumbersome.
Having the extra batteries (for my personal situation) means, I can use my Note with MM Tracker or Memory Map, to guide me around the wilderness and not have to worry about conserving life.
I sometimes like to track the routes I take as well, that feature alone drains your juice like it's going out of fashion, If you want a fairly accurate track at least, as it has to poll it's position quite frequently.
I'll probably use two batteries at a time on a day-to-day basis and keep one, part charged. At the end of a day, I'll remove battery 1, put it on charge and use battery 2 the following day, then do the same the following week but replace battery 2 for battery 3. At 6 quid each, I'm not bothered that there will be a battery sat fully charged for a day whilst not in use, as it's not being left in storage fully charged long enough for it to be affected in my opinion, not short term at least anyway.

It seems impossible To find an anker or hyperion extended battery on amazon/ebay uk
. Does someone manage to buy one of them from uk?
