Hello. Yeah, it is a stupid question. But here: http://www.gsmarena.com/motorola_moto_x-5601.php doesnt say anything about non removable battery. But i readed a comparison somewhere and say that is non removable.
Can you clarify me ?
Thank you.
It's non removable.
http://bit.ly/1wL8Txn
All Motorola phone non removable batteries are user replaceable...
I've replaced for Razr, Maxx and G.
Also looked into Videos for X..
MOD EDIT
@nijom : I see in your signature that you have an Motorola 3 years old and it still alive. Do you changed the battery until now? And after your usage, when it decrease it's life ( months? ) ?
The stock battery died in 14 months (i used different chargers and overcharged every night). I took it to Motorola Care and they replaced one for 60$. In the second one, the flex cable connecting the battery and board got damaged. Also I lost my 3 month warranty card (for the replacement)
I replaced it with one I bought from ebay.com for 20$ and fixed by myself,
And it's still going strong...
I've been using the latest battery for nearly 1.5 years, I've been using my RAZR just to watch movies via HDMI as my TVs USB port is dead..

I have ordered 2 high capacity batteries for my new HTC HD7 and DHD.
They are simply higher capacity batteries but not made by HTC.
The Desire HD battery is 1600mah (standard is 1230mah) and
The HD7 battery is 1500mah (standard is 1230mah)
My DHD is aweful with its standard battery - I won't even touch it once in the day and after 6 hours it will only have 1/4 left of battery!
The HD7 is much better and seems to last the whole day with call and text use but it is always on its last legs towards the end of the day - I imagine that these batteries will offer at least another 2 hours of good use a day to these phones.
My question really lies in the safety of these batteries... they are not HTC batteries - they are made by some oem somewhere in china I would guess and I don't know if they are likely to leak and damage my phone or not with extensive use. Does anyone have any actual experience with such batteries on their phones?
I did actually buy 2 spare oem batteries for my Nexus One from eBay and have never had problems with them however I have never used them for a sustained period so I don't know for sure...
i am also interested in this. ive seen a few 1500mah batteries on ebay. but my concern is if they are really 1500mah. they could just throw a sticker on there that says so.
as for safety, as long as the batteries output is equal to that of the stock hd7 battery i dont see why there would be a problem
you'll have to let us know how they work when you get em. i might end up just getting one here pretty soon though
It's not recomended and it is risky.Those batteries can really damage your phone and in some extreme cases you can even lose your warranty.You can find this hot topic in various forums, I read a Blackberry user buying one and after 3 months working presumly better the battery started to literally mealt, ouch ! (could have been a bigger ouch btw lol). I'd wait for an extended battery but I'm new to the world of HTC and don't know how they would react. Nokia in 2006 launched a program which replaced some particular batteries and delivered increased cappacity back.
OR buy a 2nd original battery. It's the safest decision and 2460 is still better than 1500
I bought a battery like this for my Treo 700wx. Worked great for awhile and than it started to die really fast. I put back the stock battery and it would even start to die on my pretty quickly. After that, I never would buy another extended battery. Seems hit or miss but just wouldn't trust it again.
^ Exactly. Forgot to add that their cycle life is a lot shorter. While with an genuine one you could go even for years, for an extended one you should expect 6-7 months at best.
Don't buy these batteries. They all look the same and I'm guessing originate from the same supplier. I bought one and it didn't fit quite right, and I worked out the label was misaligned, so I peeled back the label to line it up and low and behold the battery itself said 900mah despite being labelled 1500mah and "replacement for desire hd".
Blatantly trying to rip off users who are desperately trying to get a little better battery life, ironically they are actually getting a lower capacity battery! Beware! Also note, I've had my hd for a month now and the battery life has improved hugely, I always get a full day now! Although its in power save mode by bed time. I have though invested in an external 5000mah portable battery charger for use when I know I'll be away from mains or usb, a much safer option.
Cheers!
Ps this is by far the best smart phone I've owned, iPhone, blackberry storm, palm not a bit as good as this, wish it could deal with outlook meeting requests though, ie accept, reject, send...only fault, and I can live with it for how amazingly it does everything else.

I've bought plenty of generic batteries and have yet to have my phone blow up in my pocket.
Hi
I found the orginal battery for Defy+/Photon http://www.store.motorola.com/Batte...olor_map,price,size_name&searchRank=salesrank
ok, so it says in the website that it's compatible with Motorola Photon/ Electrify.
Not in the Defy?
HF5X its also battery for Defy+ , and battery from Defy+ fit to old Defy I do not know why they did not write that is compatible with Defy + but the symbol is correct HF5X
so can we use this with normal defy?
Battery will fit into the old Defy. However, other technology implementation requires modification of the battery module in the system.
For example Defy + users have a problem with charging the battery to full in the system created for the old Defy (MIUI, CM7).
The opposite situation can be when we put to the old Defy battery with higher capacity from Defy + (not tested)
waiting for a solution / patch
Any news on this issue? Does anyone use the 1700mAh battery in Defy and with positively improved battery life?
On MSginger 2.0 you have battd from defy +, just copy and paste it into your phone, change a permission and should work I can't get round to do it myself lol

Where can I buy the original HF5X battery in the UK?
(The battery life on my Defy+ aint exactly brilliant!)
Thanks

I bought this on ebay yesterday
http://www.ebay.com/itm/280743625174?ssPageName=STRK:MEWNX:IT&_trksid=p3984.m1497.l2649
10.59$ (with free shipping) < 49.99$ that`s almost 5x smaller price and 1800mah. I hope it will work fine and gonna bring the results here as soon it arrives It is BF5X model so it must be compatible with old Defy
I suppose so this 1800mAh is only chinese capacity

hmmm... we`ll see I`ll test it as soon as it arrives. and if it`s not that capacity doesn`t matter I`ll have a spare battery
I thik if you'll be lucky that battery lasts half of an original defy one
But please let us to know
And if you're unlucky it may catch fire while charging it ^^. Inform yourself on the dangers of such cheap batteries, that often lack a temperature safeguard, and all sorts of other important stuff. Batteries aren't just chemical cells, there should be electronics and security in them too

Hi,
Anyone has tested this or this for Defy+?
Is there a way to properly use Defy+ battery in normal Defy? What are the advantages? Someone did that?
All,
I have motorola MB525 defy bought in September 2011. Last week, my phone battery got deep discharged and the phone won't boot even after plugging in the charger.
As the phone was under warranty, i got the battery replaced yesterday but i got HF5X 1700mAh (the one in Defy+) as replacement. The service centre guy said that it would work with my Defy.
I kept the phone on charging for more than 12 hours continuously but the battery keeps charging and battery level is not going beyond 80%.
Can anyone please suggest what should i do? Is there any kind of S/W patch that can help? If yes, where can i get it from & how do I use it?
Battery fix. I dont know if it works..

Hi all,
First of all, sorry if someone talks about it earlier, I red about 10 pages in Development & this topic and found just NOTHING about it, or no solution.
I bought two batteries for my Milestone, a genuine and a compatible. Both aren't working. My phone power on with them in (sorry I think this isn't English lol) but it can't charge them (no LED, and no effective battery charging !). What's more, I have question mark in the battery icon !
I tried almost everything including trying EACH famous ROM (batteries is just working with a MIUI-based on ROM and I hate this one a lot (very slow) and I'm an iOS-like hater) and (except MIUI) it doesn't work !
Even with CM(6&7&9), the FroyoMod 2.9.3, HO!NO!Mod7.2.0RC0 ! What's the problem ?
If you have any proposal or solution, do not hesitate to tell me !
Thank you all !
Sounds to me like your USB port may have bit the dust...If you have to keep the phone, I'd say buy an external charger off of ebay, they're pretty cheap. For 15 USD you can probably get a charger + 2 generic batteries, which isn't too bad!

Sorry but you're wrong. I said (and this is a fact) that i can charge my genuine battery with MIUI. So no problem with USB.
Moreover, I still have my first battery fully working and charging with ANY ROM and have no question mark ! But that, you can't imagine it sorry :/
(I don't really control the English therefore you should not be vexed by my answer)
But thank you very much for your proposal. I try to explain better :
Note that I still have the first battery and it is fully working (charging with anything but have some draining issue)
I bought two batteries, one genuine and one compatible. Unhappily the compatible one die (I left it in my phone till empty..).
The fact is, except on MIUI ROM, I CAN'T charge the battery and the battery icon is... a question mark. Had someone the same issue and solved it ? If yes, please give me the trick. If not, you're guys like me, you can propose all of your ideas obviously.
Sorry for bad English
The genuine battery (the one you bought recently) won't charge? By genuine you mean original motorola? But the original one that came with phone is working properly? And the battery you bought recently, the one that is not original motorola, died because it drained it iself and now does not charge anymore?

OK. The (sold as by a famous french shop (FNAC)) genuine battery which I bought recently won't charge except on MIUI and always show a question mark (except on MIUI obviously). Sold as an official Motorola battery, that's genuine for me.
Yes the original one coming with the phone is working properly And the compatible one bought recently isn't an original (not sold as but looks pretty much the same as an original) and died because it drained it iself (because used in the phone) and now does not charge anymore.
Sorry if there are misunderstandings :/ (because of my misformulated English)!
I belive it is safe to assume that those new batteries are defective. You have one (phone's original) that is working flawlessly while new ones fail.
It is because of the implementation of one percent battery steps. if you are using cm , try disabling them. It is working fine with miui because it does have it implemented

I disagree. It works on MIUI, so they aren't defective It was obviously relevant to the ROM and no to the battery !

WTF !? You're wright for the genuine one ! I will try with the compatible one later. Thank you so much !!
EDIT : It works with the compatible one, thank you again ! Now, I've three batteries... Too much ^^
I've seen nothing BUT information on replacing the battery for the ATRIX HD, but nothing regarding replacing/switching out JUST the torn flex cable. Perhaps it's not physically possible, or the battery will burn up , but I would love to know if anyone has gone this far and attempted. Because my phone is out of warranty, Motorola refuses to sell me a new battery, and I refuse to ship for "repair" when I can do it myself. I've ordered an OEM battery, knowing it will be potentially old and not "new", so I'd ideally like to just take the flex cable; replace mine & keep my good battery.
I will appreciate any feedback. Thanks in advance.
You can't replace the cable. You said you already ordered a battery. Just use that. It'll work fine.

Thanks for responding to my question, Deeje. I was concerned about the new battery and was even more so after receiving it, not an OEM and not even the same size. After calming down (phone was down for 10+ days) and researching my new Sony battery, I found it was of the same power spec and ended up installing. All is good, finally. I recommend RepairsUniverse for the beautiful new screen; the battery shipper shall remain nameless for their lack of communication.

So about 6 months ago I swapped the midframe and back on my N6 for the Moto X Pro ones. While I had the phone apart I replaced the battery. My original battery was still functioning fine but I figured since the phone's already torn down, why not replace it? My plan is to keep this phone until the 2016 Nexus is available. So I wanted to be sure that the phone would be problem-free until then.
I got the new battery off eBay from one of the many Chinese electronics retailers for around $15. It was sold as a Motorola OEM battery. When it arrived it looked identical to the original one out of my phone. Installed it, charged it up and went about my business. About 2 weeks later the phone e starts ****ting down suddenly. At first it would do it somewhere between 20%-30% on the battery meter. Then it progressed to shutting down at 50%-60%. Finally it would last only 10 minutes after taking it off the charger (at 100%) before shutting down suddenly. When it would do this, there wasn't the "shutting down" animation you would normally get from running out of juice. It would just go black.
So I deduced it was a junk battery and ordered another one. This time, I ordered one from a place here in the U.S. It was more expensive but not by much (around $30 I think). It arrives, I install it, works great for a month, then starts shutting down suddenly just like the eBay battery. It's at the "only lasts for 10 minutes off the charger" stage right now. So that's battery #2 that's suffered the same fate.
I have battery #3 on the way and it should arrive on Monday. Ordered from another U.S. retailer. Spoke to them on the phone and was assured that it's a brand new, OEM Motorola EZ30 battery. So we'll see how this one works.
At first I was sure I had just received a bum battery. But after the 2nd one had the exact same problem in such a short amount of time.e I can't help but wonder if it's something else causing the failure. 90% of the time I charge the phone via USB and the wall charger that came with the phone. The other 10% of the time it's charged via USB and my old GS4 wall charger. Would using a different charger cause battery failures? I had used the GS4 charger with the original battery that came with the phone and had no problems. Also, for a couple months, I had used a Cheotech 3-coil wireless charger. But I didn't like how long it took to charge so I quit using it. I used it for about 2 months on the original battery and the 2 weeks of the first replacement battery's short life. I haven't used it on the 2nd replacement battery at all as I was trying to see if that may have been the cause of the 1st failure. Can using a different charger damage the battery in such a short period of time?
Is there anything else I can look for before putting in battery #3? Like I said I'm hoping to keep checking this thing alive and kicking until this fall when the new Nexus is released.
Thanks.

Your batteries (#1 and #2) were not damaged by your usage pattern. They were bad quality period. And now you are paranoid about that. Those two batteries being bad does not surprise me at all because the inherent longevity of a battery is closely related to how well controlled the manufacturing process is, and we know how well that process is controlled for Chinese cheap batteries.
Modern batteries and chargers are built in a way that make them relatively immune to user abuse. Your battery lives for a certain number of charges and discharges. For a good battery from a reputable manufacturer that is around 500 to 1500 times. There is also a second order effect that if you recharge the battery before it completely dies it lives marginally longer. That is about it. The stuff you mentioned didn't cause your batteries to die. The poor manufacturing condition in a sweat shop in China did.
I think you also shouldn't use turbo charger with these batteries.

The battery's microprocessor regulates the charge and is designed to prevent damage to the battery. Thus this statement is ridiculous. Especially since all turbo charge does is allow more energy to be transferred to the battery in a given unit of time than with a standard charge.

okay. Its my bad then. But i always notice that my phone heats up more when i use turbo charger. And heat is never good for these batteries.
The amount of heat generated on charging does not significantly impact battery life when compared to something like doing a deep discharge. I wouldn't worry too much about the heat. The battery can handle it.

I see thanks for clearing things up. I saw those videos and images of nexus 6 with all those popped batteries and back covers. I have been afraid of its heating up since then. So i can use it without worrying about its battery and back cover?
I've had my Nexus 6 since the beginning of the year and have had no problems with it whatsoever. While there is no guarantee you won't encounter a problem, if your Nexus is relatively recent like mine you shouldn't have any issues.
