Hello, xiaomi users!
I bought my MI3 phone last year in July. Since then, I've been taking care of battery. I've been keeping it from 30 to 70 percent all the time. But it became hard for me to take care of the battery, because I don't want to be tied to outlet all the time.
Now I have few questions for you.
Has anyone actually tried to take out and replace the battery? Was the process hard? Did you damage anything? There is some tutorial on ifixit.com. Did you follow it?
Did you buy those $15 batteries from eBay? Are they comparable to original one?
Thank you in advance for your answers!

U can get it replaced from service center with original one
Well, I guess that option does not work for me because I'm from Croatia, and sending my phone to service center could easily double the expenses.
But thank you anyway.

Well, keeping the battery from 30% to 70% all the time is not necessary good idea. It may help, but I read articles about deep analyzis of Li-Ion battery tests. And the goal was to measure of the influence of discharge level on the battery life. The results actually shows that the depth of the battery discharge has almost no influence on the batttery life. It is because if you discharge battery until zero (and not until 20-30-40%), your phone works longer, so the count of charge/discharge cycles is lower over years.
Anyway I'm not going to provide so many details here. Just wanted to show you that you may not neccessary need to keep eyes on the battery so much. As it will not give you comparable longer battery life until replacement.
Sorry I have not saved the link to that article. If you unable to find it, please ping me.
Regarding replacement. I'm not going to do it during first 3 years of phone usage. So can't help you with suggestion on the Ebay good supplier. You can try to just order it from good rated sellers if you beleive your battery is already dead.
It is easy to replace battery if you have technical background. There are dissasembly instructions available on the Internet. Here is one of them http://en.miui.com/thread-29887-1-1.html
Also I have seen good video on youtube.
Mi3 has li poly battery not li ion ???
Strange. I've read at Battery university that DoD (depth of discharge) has impact on battery longetivity. And according to the data provided, it actually has huge impact on it:
http://batteryuniversity.com/learn/article/how_to_prolong_lithium_based_batteries
But it seems that battery replacement task isn't that hard to do. All you have to do is follow this tutorial:
https://www.ifixit.com/Guide/Xiaomi+Mi3+Touchscreen+Replacement/31237
And if something isn't clear, you'd normally refer to this youtube video:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FbUsIy2Jeeg
and to the link SerjP provided, for additional images and info:
http://en.miui.com/thread-29887-1-1.html
PLEASE NOTE:
Guy on youtube video doesn't have NFC sticker on the battery! If you have built-in NFC in your mobile (which probably you DO have), please refer to link on ifixit.com, because you could easily broke your NFC chip if you don't know how to remove it.
I haven't replaced my battery yet, but I think I figured it out. If there is something that needs clarification, please send me a PM.

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.
cgi.ebay.ie/GOLD-EP500-BATTERY-SONY-ERICSSON-Vivaz-U5-U5i-U8i-/250751172655?pt=LH_DefaultDomain_3&hash=item3a61ef402f#ht_2605wt_1257
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

My htc battery life is normal but charging from 17% takes 5:28 and charging from 10 % takes over 6 hours!! Sometimes it charterselskaper in 3 hours but most of the time over 5 hours.
Is Thon a bug that will be fixed in a future update or a hw fault? Should I try restoring the phone?

You need to be asking yourself 'has anything changed recently'
- is it a Stock ROM or Custom/Cooked ROM?
- is the Kernel Stock or again flashed?
- any new apps recently installed?
- any tweaks of enhancements (flashed or apps)?
As a proving ground you can restore and start from scratch to see if this resolves, failing that post up a reply with as much relevant info as possible,, makes it easier and faster to help you!
Also what charger and cable are you using?
I Am using the orginal charger. I have installed normal apps and gsam battery and battery defender yesterday. Will try to factory reset today

It's a known fact that the HTC One takes a long time to charge. It's sort of a security protocol by HTC in order to preserve the battery and prolong its life.
"The HTC One does have a bigger battery than many smartphones, rated at 2,300mAh, and some owners have been complaining that it takes a long time to charge. You may be used to your smartphone being fully charged within three hours, but the HTC One is likely to take four hours or longer. Apparently HTC has taken precautions to ensure that the battery lasts (since it isn’t removable) and this partly accounts for the longer charging time. If it seems to be taking a lot longer than that then there are a couple of things worth checking.

make sure that wifi, blue-tooth and gps are tuned off before you start to charge your phone, also check for any app that might be using high cpu power "watch dog" app will allow you to do this, also make sure your screen is turned off during charging.

Thanks, can I use a more powerful charger? IPad charger with 10w to make it go faster?
Sent from my HTC One using xda app-developers app
It won't make a difference, it'll still only draw the power is it made to draw. Plus, I wouldn't recommend using anything other than the original charger or one identical to it (like a Samsung Galaxy's, for instance) for safety reasons and to prolong the battery's life - you do know it's very hard to replace, haha.
Yeah, the reason the battery takes so long to charge, is that it is charged at a very low slow rate, as a fast charge can damage the battery, and as said above the battery is virtually impossible to replace, see the fixit tear-down on youtube.

Well, they are known to open up stuff with extreme care and lots of expertise for many years, I wouldn't doubt their words though. Unless HTC has some super secret method of taking things apart.
Anything can be dismantled and put back with caution, I am just saying that it's rather difficult to do it yourself and paying a professional to do it will probably cost a lot because that kind of labor is rather expensive. Why risk it, anyway?

They took "one piece of aluminium" too seriously and didn't remove the speaker grills. I think if the grills are removed you will have a lot better view of things to remove. This phone as much as any other needs to be repaired. The company needs to keep repair costs low so they would be idiots not to make it easy. The phone is repairable in all parts only for common sense reasons. We just don't know the way to do it correctly. But we don't actually have to...

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.

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

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?

im sorry but i think zerolemon is better with 9300 if u dont mind the bulk
Hi guys..wanted to know if anyone of u uses ravpower extended battery? Its 6200mah and is only $20 on amazon. I wanted to know what kind of battery life ur getting with it. From my side I get pretty good battery life. I am using for like 4days. Charged it only twice. But my problem is that its not that well calibrated. Sometimes on one percent it stays like for 10mins or more and sometime on a certain percent it stays less while doing the same thing. I already calibrated it with battery calibration app found on playstore. But I dont think it really calibrated it. So can anyone who uses this battery tell me if its the same for them. And can anyone tell me a good calibration app. Here are some screenshots of my battery life it. Thanks for reading and hope someone can enlighten me on this.
Btw..with the 3% that remained in the screenshots..it could last like 40mins or more. Thats wat getting me crazy! oh and am using phantom v4 rom.
Sent from my GT-N7100 using XDA Free mobile app
General rule of thumb with batteries is you get what you pay for. $20 isn't much...
The erratic percentage you're seeing is due to inconsistent voltage output from the cells - a classic telltale sign from low-quality batteries.
Best case it is just gets worse and worse till it dies.
Worst case is you have a cell short and the battery catches fire. No, I'm not exxagerating, I lost a dslr to a cheapo ebay battery that did this.
Honestly, I'd ditch it entirely and fork out for a seido or something.
I re calibrated it..and it seems a bit better now. But all the comments on amazon are so good. Duno..maybe ill use it till I sees it starts to get bad. Then ill ditch it before it burns everything.

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.

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.

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!
