Can I use a 4.2v battery in my X8? The current battery is 3.7v and I believe the phone charges using 4.2v.
It would be a great find as this battery is 1930mAh and it is the same size as the original unlike the other battery on the market that requires an adapted case.

My advice, don't buy it. It is a fake that is nowhere close to 1930mAh.
saw the battery with 1500 mAh with little bigger size.
But with 4.2v - it may works.
I prefer to buy only original parts for your mobile X8. Otherwise will it not work I think,but im not sure.
Of course it works.. Although, it's recommended official batteries..

I've heard that unofficial batteries can explode, melt or not work at all.
Much better if you use original batteries, bec different batteries have different specs (or output current) which might have bad effects on your phone when you use it.
I have it !
I have this battery only for two days. But now I think this "gold 1930mAh battery is better than original. It is my subjective impress. But time of standby on battery is about 30hours and level of battery is 19% now.
usage of battery :
about 3-4 min phoning
about 2hours of playing music in ear phones
3G or EDGE was on all time - gmail
about 15 min surfing
about 5 min in facebook app
about 20 sms - all via internet ( application )
I THING - you cant do this with orig battery.
I will test phone and i will tell you my experience.
But now I can say - it was good deal for me !!!
X8 is a good mobile of Sony Ericcson and my Advice for you if you want to buy this mobile the buy its original parts otherwise don,t buy because i have use it so many times but it was not original so therefore its battery timing was bad .
i think its fake...
Is it true ? my x8 should be life for 3 day with 1930 mAh

Hahahahaha. Are you saying my phone will go flat after 5 mins of using the facebook app?
just to share with you guys, i bought the "1920mah gold battery" mentioned by TS. It works perfectly well with X8. I used it for a week so far, no problems with it yet.
Physically, it feels a bit lighter than the stock EP500 battery, and it definitely does not live up to the 1920mah as stated. I personally feel that this gold battery can last about as long as the stock battery, definitely not more.
So if you are looking for a cheap alternative battery for your x8, and dont mind the risks involved in using non-official SE battery, this might work for you. Else i suggest you stick to the original ones.
where did you get the "1920mah gold battery" shipping? or store? how much.? just asking,,,
I'm glad that you tried the battery ,and find no problem.Maybe I can have a try ..

umm... Then you would never recommend going for a custom firmware or anything that would void SE's warranty, and cling to the stupid base firmware that the SE proudly provides in its x8!... well, in that case, ...damn, there's no emotion for this one!
I don't think so it is true
handsfree very poor..
casing from plastic ..
ever think original battery also low level class??
in out there already battery with more extreme than this one, and i think will not give bad effect as long it design to x8.
remember all electronic part having maximum voltage n ampere tolerance,
i mean they can handle unstandart voltage n ampere..
effect like warm or explode is not because voltage, but because fault product, wrong operations, and cell shortcut (because we use this battery non stop)
i think original battery work fine.. it help me test bug from app as well.. if it drain fast.. so it must be app problem

I got it in ebay, many stores are selling. Just do a search in ebay for 'ep500 gold battery' and you can look for the cheapest to be shipped to your country.
Hi, Is there any better battery than stock on Ebay?
Yes, I use One from AkkuKing and One form PolarCell and both are better then the stock battery..

There are 2 kinds of battery replacements, the ones that have the same size as the original one, and the ones that are bigger and come with a replacement back cover for your phone in order to fit in there.
The first kind is usually ineffective. The Mah listed by most of those batteries is greatly exaggerated and poor quality control makes getting one of them a lottery. You might get one that lasts a little longer, but it might start to deteriorate after a month of usage, or it might be worse than the stock battery from the start. The only exception to this rule is the Mugen power 1700 Mah battery, but the cost of that one is almost unreasonable.
On the other hand while the fatter batteries do work, they will transform your phone to an unpocketable miniature whale. You will also be unable to find any cases big enough for the phone.
I am in the same situations as you and i decided to go for the Mugen, it is expensive but it's reliable and performs better than the stock battery.
which mugen?? extended or stock?
and what about anker...are they any good??

Anker batteries are supposed to be good quality but i can't find the normal sized model anywhere and even if i did, it has the same MAh as the OEM battery, so i don't see a reason not to get the LG battery instead. The fat 2800 MAh model is good but i don't want to double the size of my phone. For that same reason i am not interested in the Mugen Power 4500 MAh battery, i will go for the 1700 MAh version instead.
Actually I got the battery from grey market here in Bangalore India it looks exactly same as original exactly same means from exactly you just can't differentiate ...but after a month it became futile hold same charge if you use our not will discharge in 4 hours
Jeez, huge difference between 1700 and 4500.. Almost 3x lol

How long your battery drains in standby, like when you sleep on night if it's 100% after 7 hours how much you get when you get up?

Let's say there are two types of removable phone batteries:
1.SLIM
These are the batteries which just fit straight into the phone without a bigger back cover needed, just like nature (the manufacturers) intended.
They can be extended, and offer a greater capacity, but their physical size remains the same.
then there's...
2. CHUNKY
The bigger batteries which offer a much greater potential capacity but also need a bigger back cover. They make you look at your phone and think "does this make my phone look fat?".
Of course, people are generally accepting of plus sizes nowadays, but slimmer is more practical, in the sense of a phone, right?
Anyway *clears throat*, I bought one of each of these, both being extended.
Firstly, I bought a chunky one, 3500MaH. I'm not sure if it's the phone, or the fact that the battery was el cheapo ($6 AUD), but it seemed liked the stock battery with nothing but an extra weight attached
Then, I purchased a slim one, the infamous gold '2430' MaH battery.
I wouldn't be surprised it was actually 1430 MaH, for it was worse than stock (1500MaH).
The point of this thread is to ask you which of the SLIM extended batteries (NO CHUNKY, ONLY SLIM) is the best you have ever used?
And may you also provide a price / link?
Buy a stock battery and also get your phone checked at lg service center I tried almost all batteries and all roms the battery drain and stand by time was worse...went lg service center they changed mother board it was destroyed by difference in voltage due to batteries and some roms now I have more than 2 days battery...no more flashing and no more experimenting with my phone now I love my phones exceptional battery...I used to think people lie when they say 2 day battery n all...trust me this phone has good battery just get it checked at lg service center also they told me to use stock charger only

how much they changed your motherboard?? trough warranty?? :fingers-crossed:
I would normally always go stock, its safer. even for the little extra money, your getting something sure to work and be safe and tested well.
I'm currently using / testing Battpit Battery you can buy on Amazon.co.uk after the 3rd charge cycle it tested and averaged out to 1740mAh or so, and under heavy use it turned out about 10 hours on almost constant use. i was very impressed.
i'm currently still doing my standby minimum use test for the past couple days and its still going.
heres a link for the battery i bought
http://www.amazon.co.uk/Battpit-tra...8G/ref=sr_1_93?ie=UTF8&qid=1354948855&sr=8-93
so far my tests have found it to be worth the buy. the capacity and charge have been as labeled, and the battery performance so far is going well.

I've ordered a 1800 mAh from ebay. Will report later on the differences with stock battery. Be sure to always charge your phone completely and only charge when battery drops bellow 20% or so, this will lead to a better condition of the battery.
Bought a "gold 2430mAh" battery.
I will edit my post in 2 days to do a feedback
Remember to do a calibration of the batterie to increase performances : Here is the app
EDIT : Yep, it tooks me 2 yearsq to do the tests... Seriously, thoses "gold" battery are totally fake. The battery did'nt handle 2 charges and wasn't better than the original battery.
As I wrote in the other battery thread...stock battery format with better Li-Ion technology, or Li-Pol could give maximum of 1800 mAh. This is a realistic number, I recently bought a Mugen extended battery and it seems to have given 1700 mAh. But all these golden batteries...:cyclops:

anyone even find a REAL Li-Poly battery for our phone? cause the ones that claimed they were that i tried looking for turned out to be bogus after getting a full data sheet from the suppliers. i'm just curious, if there is a real Li-poly battery.
Any updates guys?.
I want a new battery now it last like 15h with 2g and data. Every thing els off... 2ha2h30 screen on.
and at home with wifi on i get lile 20h with 3h screen on....
But its not that bad but i had a samsung befor. And on 3g it lasted the hole day. I wouldent even try that with this one... let 3g on hole day... no wifi. Than inwill need to charge it in the middle of the day....
So the 2430mah gold battery is it any good?. Or should i get 2 , 1600 mah batteries with external charger?.
I could use some good battery life so i can browse the web. Like now i can do much on 2g....
But what i found out is if you put it in flight mode doesnt drop a thing in 1 2 3h even 4h. More. But when celular on its so ****ty....

Battery usage
Hey there!
Ive tried every Rom on this forum, (almost ) but all gave me the same battery issue. (Only the 20s based roms where pretty Good!) Ive found not any ICS rom compatible with 3G and a good battery life. Tobad, but for me its a fact. The P990 is not designed for using with 3G, just drains the battery in les then 3 ours!
I also tried a lot of baseband and Ril versions, there where a few who does made a difference, but not that big.
Right now I using the 20s baseband. just because of my experience in the past.
For me the big difference is how you configure your processor. Which schedular and which governor. I tried a lot of combination, right now Im using schedular conservative with the ZEN governor, this combination gives me a really good battery usage. (4% drain in 8 ours @1200 Mhz @ night @ wifi )
Ive disabled 3G on my phone, only 2G. tobad, but only way to have a good battery life.
I also tried new batteries, the Big one 3500 Mah, not any improvements, the 1950 andida battery is a good one. but they all are not worth the money compared with the less battery usage improvements,
Hope this helps a little in the search for a bettery battery life with our phone.

WyCkson

Hi,
just want to say that I have a good expirience With a PEAK Performance 3300mAh, cost ~ 14€ with cover. Now can I use it ~ 2days.
Sometimes the phones turns into a pocket heater that kills every battery, espesially if there are many apk's installed (around 120 up, TB-List)
I Had this problem with every ROM, and also with Stock battery and a new device.

i'm looking for a better battery
Hello,
I'm looking for a better battery. Someone have test a good battery ? on ebay i'm think is contrefact product...
While usinge my Galaxy S i9000 for two years now i noticed sometimes the battery lasts (ordinary daily usage presumed) only arround 12 hours, so i tried to find a battery with a higher capacity.
The battery shipped by Samsung only had 1500mAh and after a while you could buy 1800mAh batteries with the same dimensions (i got some from Polarcell made in Germany)
1800mAh means you got a 20% higher capacity IMHO this means 20% longer time to use until charging
relating to the presumed 12hours of lifetime this means 2.4hours this is ok if you charge the phone over night and sleep 8 hours
Coming to the 9070 now!!!
i tried to find some bigger batteries for the advanced. i found some 1650mAh batteries, but i first tried to push my old battery in my new phone .
As you can see on the attached file 1 its only 1mm difference between the two batteries and so the battery didnt fit into the phone. But ive got more than just 1 battery.
So i removed the piece of plastic at the bottom of the battery and the foil around it and voila:
With a little pressure i pushed the battery into the phone
this is just a tip for anyone who needs 20% more capacity and doesnt find such a big battery
Thats dangerous mate..
LOL, I tried it with my i9003 battery and had the same problem like you, I tried to force it but I think it may damage the plastic

but pushing the battery into the phone isnt

edit2: yeah both batteries contain a smaller aluminium battery i removed the body of my original i9000 and i9070 batteries ...
Polarcell has a 1700mAh battery for i9070 (i use it for a week now)
and Mugen Power has a 1800 mAh battery (but it almost costs 3x the polarcell). And even a 3600mAh with new battery door.
So no need for experiments.

Hello mate. I use Mugen Power 3500mAh battery for my I9070. I am very satisfied with it. I mostly use my phone for web browsing , ROM installing and occasional gaming. With the sammy's battery(1500mAh) it barely lasts 18 hours on heavy use.
But with this new battery it lasts well over a day(atleast 30-32 hours) on heavy use. I use cocore kernel and set the charging voltage to 600mA, default. Anything above this will overheat your phone. Also I lowered the usb charging to 400mA.
Overall I am satisfied with this battery.
Thank you for your answer. I believe that your battery is of higher capacity since it's really bigger, but problem is the battery I'm talking about is of SAME volume as original 1500mAh. I'm wondering how have they achieved that (if they did at all), maybe they removed some security parts in order to put more li-ion compound

I think below part of the sammy's 1500mAh battery is made of hard plastic and can be cut and shrinked without affecting the usability.
So the 1800/2450 mAh extended batteries use that space and obtain better capacity without compromising on safety. Anyway good luck.

You do realize its capacity is anywhere from 2500 mAh to 3100 mAh, not really 4000 mAh? It's physically impossible to fit bigger higher capacity cells into single OEM battery size. Typically these ebay batteries, like Golden 4200 mAh, are closer to 2500 mAh (I have tested a few), but from your screenshots and the fact it costs over $10 - I think its safe to assume it will be closer to OEM 3100 mAh. Just gotta watch out for any bulging which happens with these over time especially when you charge them at full 2A speed, and you probably going to notice performance to go down in about 3-4 months.
Sorry bro, didn't mean to rain on your parade. It's just a fact with these ebay batteries.

Well it doesn' t seem much, if any, better than stock battery.
It is surely better than my stock battery. So it can't be less than 3100mah. Has to be higher.
It is not physically impossible. Not sure where you got that info from.
You didn't rain on my parade. I have results to prove it. My stock battery is now used as back. No use for it day to day now.
Only idiots buy golden battery lol.

Ooh, you just offended a bunch of people on this forum who got Golden batteries hoping they will get 4200 mAh for $6
Unless you have some latest ground breaking info about new development in battery cell density, Samsung used the highest density battery in their OEM footprint. It's a fact. The only way to maximize it was by doubling the size, thus all the reputable companies had double thickness/capacity with 6200 mAh batteries and Zerolemon had it at triple with 9300 mAh. The only company that was able to squeezed a bit more was Mugen who does their own development and was able to squeeze in 6400 mAh in double capacity.
To verify capacity of your battery, looking at performance with screen on time, etc is not accurate. Especially since you are comparing it to an original battery with aged performance. You need to get an external hardware battery tester where you charge the battery to a full capacity and let it discharge down to 2.4V cutoff voltage while monitoring the actual current drain over time to get the exact capacity in mAh.
Btw, just for sh!ts'n'giggles, take the label off your battery to see what is stamped in there as actual capacity
I dont need to get anything. ..
My real world usage proves this last longer than my stock battery. I bought this battery to use as a backup but now my stock battery is the backup.
Are you saying mu screenshots are fake?
Also if you're point was valid, aa batteries come in one size right?
Why are there 800mah, 1200mah and 1600mah aa batteries?
I am happy and surprised with my purchase. Doesn't matter what you might think. My screen shots prove it.

Chill bro, I'm not doubting your screenshots or your experience. As I said, it sounds like you probably got 3100 mAh battery. That's all. As someone who reviews a lot of accessories and gadgets on XDA (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2192333) and helps other members on this forum, I just want to be sure other people are not mislead by thinking they can get 4000 mAh battery because Note 2 battery with such capacity doesn't exist. Period. Neither does anything over 3200 mAh since I remember testing my Anker 3100 mAh to be slightly higher then stock capacity. The screenshots are real, I'm not doubting it, but that is call a "relative test" to another reference of someone else using stock capacity battery under different conditions with different setting and running different apps. We had people reporting poor performance with ZL 9300 mAh while the fact is they were comparing it to stock battery performance from 3-4 months ago when they had different setup with different apps, etc.
Just calm down, enjoy your battery, and spend a little bit of time reading this website with a lot of Note 2 battery reviews and explanation how they really being tested: http://www.batteryreview.info/
Ok just making sure you aren't hating lol.
I didnt say I believe it to be 4000mah. I just believe it is higher than 3100mah because it lasts longer.

We only got love on this forum
It lasts longer cause its a new 3100 that hasn't degraded like the one you are currently used to.

It's probly a case of new 3100MAH compared to your used original 3100MAH
Only new battery tech could squeeze juice more into the same physical battery.
New battery tech wouldn't be sold for $14. :good:
Anyway at $14 that's not bad. Let us know how it performs over time. Cheaper than buying an original Samsung 3100mah
Just got this
Just got this battery and managed to last over 7hrs of onscreen time doing mostly messaging, web browsing, watching videos off the microsd card and youtube.
Auto-brightness was set to about 30% (was more than sufficient for an overcast day and 8 hours in the office).
Had location services turned on, gmail and Exchange syncing. Also had music playing (Poweramp) for most of the work day.
Hope this helps any others looking to give this a try.
No idea if I will get this sort of screen time on the stock battery as I've only had a half day use of it (bought the phone used off ebay and got the extended battery at the same time).
I get these same stats on my stock battery. Running ADHD 18 with latest Perseus kernel

Im not impressed
As i can see your screen on time is just 4+ hours, i can say im getting somewhat 6-7 hours screen on time with my 7 months old stock sammy battery
As far as I'm aware the Mugen battery is the best available at 3200mah. The Anker one being a better value for money choic3 at slightly higher than stock.
I have no way of actually testing this though, but there's no way the OP's battery is anywhere near 4000mah.
On a similar note, does anyone know of any tools to accurately measure these battery capacities?
–edit sorry wrong link that was for testing cords not batteries

I see the reviews here are pretty old now.... so can anyone of you update the status of your battery performance now?
im sorry but i think zerolemon is better with 9300 if u dont mind the bulk
