I picked mine up used, battery life has always been terrible though the unit is near mint.
Debating replacing the battery or just upgrading to a better tablet. If anyone has replaced theirs you might let me know if you were happy with the improved life or not.
thx

Hi folks,
I just got a new battery for my nexus s from the prunedanish at ebay but it turned out to be 1440mah. My original battery is 1500mah. However other than that they look exactly the same. Will I give away battery life by using 1440mah ?
Thanks
I have the same battery. I don't notice a difference. Both give me a 24 daily use cycle once I got them conditioned.
I'd feel that the difference would be marginal.
Once you factor in some slight battery degradation and manufacturer tolerances, they would be virtually the same.
I'm also believe that difference woll be unnoticable. Still does anyone know where I can buy oem 1500mah nexus battery without paying 20bucks thoruh samsungs site ?
Okay, I have been reading about how there is supposedly NO WAY you can change out the stock battery inside the case with a larger one. I understand that is so, but WHY exactly can you not solder in a new, larger unit instead please? Is there some sort of firmware that will only support the stock battery or is it another kind of issue?
Can anyone please explain it to me? I have advanced skills for soldering, so I can handle pretty much anything barring a motherboard issue...
Its a kernel issue. The battery is controlled by a custom driver.

I see, that is disappointing. Has anyone tried to tackle this? I'm guessing a resounding "NO". heh
I'm not positive that you couldn't use a larger capacity battery but it probably would be physically larger and probably wouldn't fit.
Not Li-Ion battery but I have replaced a 3800mAh battery with a 5000mAh with no problem at all. This was a Ni-MH battery but a Li-Ion battery charging is a far simpler than a Ni-MH. I was able to install a larger capacity battery cheaper then an OEM. I've been doing this for years.
As far as I can tell, there is plenty of room for a larger battery inside the unit, the main problem seems to be getting it to work, yet I cannot find a single instance of ANYONE actually trying to put one in...
Are you quite sure it could be that easy? I really like this little tablet, but two things bother me: The battery life -SUCKS- and I don't like carrying external batteries with me.
As it is now I can get it fully booted and online in under a minute and all that is needed is to keep it running for more than a few hours and I will be very happy. (Well, until we get a finished version of ICS I won't be really really happy, but LOL)

Why bother with ICS, when CM10.1 (Android 4.2.1) is more complete, better performance and battery life?
Also, look into your wifi sleep policy settings, this has a huge impact on battery usage when in standby.

The algorithm for charging a Li-Ion cell is simple. It won't matter what the capacity of the cell is but the charging rate is something that you can't change so it'll take longer to charge.
I have a automotive scope that uses 1600 mAh 7.2V Ni-MH pack stuck inside the unit. A PITA to change, it had standard RC type connectors so I installed a extender to go outside the unit. The OEM packs use "AA" cells but I had a 7.2V pack built using 5000 mAh sub "C" cells which I Velcro to the case. I could have used "D" cells which are up to 12000 mAh now but it would have way too bulky. I normally charge the packs on an external charger for speed although I do have it charge with the unit at times.
Hello, I just wondered if our battery is getting worse and worse over the time. I suppose yes, obviously just like any other electronic component, the battery itself will lose performance just because of its continuous use.
But I would like to know exactly how much. We can improve battery life thanks to software, but I wonder what about hardware...
For example, which are the difference after a year of using, or is it negligible?
Which is your experience? Thanks so much

I got my One in April of 2013 and the battery today is about 20% less than when it was new. I use it off and on all day at work and i use to have around 45% when i got home .. now it's closer to 30% after a day at work. Just guessing I would say the battery will last about 3 years before it would have to be replaced for normal use.
Ok, thanks for your feedback! I didn't imagine the difference was so huge
Any other impressions?
Hi, has anyone purchased / replaced their battery recently and could recommend a place to buy good quality battery. I have looked on e bay and all claim to be genuine, but some feed backs complain about battery not charging or losing charge fast.
Any help is appreciated
Bro, this phone is approximately 6yrs old. Hence there might not be any good battery like the original battery you re looking for. All you can find now is a battery that can do the job of a battery and not necessarily an original battery that can hold charges for hours.
I recently changed my battery. And this was the technique I used. However, more often than not, I use the packaging of the battery to determine its level of originality.
Hi guys, my battery has been used for over a year and half, started to drain very quick, the recent Android 10 update helped but still draining quicker. Today I myself installed a new battery from eBay.
https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/REPLACEM...859434?hash=item5481cba3aa:g:uUwAAOSwYY1enbmT
I highly doubt this is original, and I understand companies do not sell original batteries in bulk to any company, I simply require a high quality battery, not fussed about brand to be honest . I asked the seller to confirm if this OEM battery has the exact same performance MAH as the original, he claimed it was original, when arrived it had the Huawei logo and looked good quality.
looked exactly like the one below.
https://www.aliexpress.com/w/wholesale-huawei honor 10 battery.html
The original was around 50grams and replacement 53grams.
I want to know if anyone else has replaced the v10 battery and how it turned out?
Thanks
" Today I myself installed a new battery from eBay."
And how it is? What is the Screen on Time(SOT)?
Can You give more details about the performance of the battery as you alr3ady have IT installed?
