I'm looking to replace the battery in my N5x. Amazon and eBay have plenty of listings for OEM batteries but many seem sketchy and I assume they're fakes. Does anyone know where we can reliably buy legit LG batteries? Are there any reputable sellers? I would consider a 3rd party manufacturer provided that it has a reputation for quality and is not just selling re-labled knock-offs.

If I were you I would try a top-rated seller on ebay for a good chance that the battery is genuine or brand new. If something goes wrong, you can ask for a refund. But this one seems just fine for me and it doesn't cost so much to take a risk. http://www.ebay.com/itm/New-Origina...325604?hash=item4d5576b864:g:JL4AAOSwhQhY14qc Edit: I bought this item before a month to replace my battery after 2 years of use and its great!Works fine and it is genuine I can assure you about it.
With positive reviews, I guess you could give it a try.

That one is missing the logo from the original OEM battery, see here. Also, LG's font on the package is wrong. It changed way before 5X was released to a more rounded font, like on the link I wrote.

I think it's third party battery but it will work just fine I guess. I would prefer the original too. I will keep searching because sometime I will change mine too. If you finally find something that works fine, please let us know.

Months ago I was referred to this website. Please note I've no experience with them, but I was referred to them from this forum.
I ended up buying the Beltron OEM compatible on eBay. If you're not getting OEM (most "OEM" batteries sold online appear to be fake), at least get one with some sort of brand name with a reputation to protect.
https://www.amazon.com/dp/B01MQZV9ZV/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_apap_BmuxUqJ485hWz
In any case I'm quite happy with the Beltron. Been using it for over a month and lifespan seems just as good as the original. Not having the problem some people have with replacements where the phone won't charge over 50%.

Did you measure it's capacity using something like AccuBattery? I bought this one and its capacity was close to 2300mah when it had to be 2700.
All in all, I'm at a total loss where to buy a battery that doesn't suck

AccuBattery detects it as 2700mah. Performance is still as good azls OEM after 1 month.
In also bought this as a backup:

Guaranteed its counterfeit . Suspected mine was fake and unwrapped the battery. Mine was padded with some thick paper to make it thicker. Was really 2200mah.
Google or LG need to sell replacement parts.
Thousands of phones end up in landfills because we can't replace the battery.
Did anyone find any reliable battery seller?

I bought that one and the app accubattery says that the estimated capacity is 1850mah... That's worst than my original 2 years old battery...
I don't recommend it.
I have ordered an original battery from our spare parts suppliers at work.
If I open the nexus already, because of the new 4GB Ram boards, then I exchange the ~3 years old battery with the same.
anyone can't post link with a good battery quality ? Thank's lot.

I bought this one and AccuBattery says it's 2700mAh, don't know if that means anything or not in terms of credibility. It looks authentic on the outside ( I noticed looked the same as the one I had when replacing it ) but I did not inspect carefully, haven't properly tested to see how long it lasts but I think it charges fully, I will test it tonight/tomorrow to tell you if it sucks or not.
https://www.ebay.com/itm/For-LG-Nex...e=STRK:MEBIDX:IT&_trksid=p2060353.m2749.l2649
edit1: The battery charged to 100% , it seems to really be 2700mAh. Testing SoT now, seeing how long it lasts while playing a youtube video at 1080p with maximum brightness.

It should be heavier than the 1230 one. On my goold old Nokia battery I felt a significant difference between a 860 and a 1020 one while holding them both in hand.
Beware, if it's not a genuine HTC battery you may damage your phone
I received my larger battery today. Fits fine. Is there any where on the phone that says it using a larger battery?....I googled the part number and it says its a 1500 battery...but I just want to make sure.

They can't be the same weight. It's obviously a chinese re-hash or an original 1230 battery. I am 90% sure it's not genuine 1500 but miracles do happen.. Let us know
This is why I started this thread. The minute I opened the box I thought it was the same battery.
Its actually the same part number as the battery that came with the phone.
Just disputed the charge with Paypal.
Received this email just now.
The Manufacturer advertised the battery as a 1500mAH battery, we're
contacting them to see if this was an done in error. There are no other
batteries available for the HD7 and HTC has never made an extended battery
that does not require a separate (larger) battery door.
If you would like, we can send you a return label for the item and a full
refund once the item is received. Or if you would like, we can offer you a
20% discount on the battery.

it is not same part..almost yes check the last 3 letters , on the hd7 original is 00m and on the knock off is o1m
Sounds like the exact same problem as with the HD2, lots of unofficial "1500 mAh" batteries that turned out to be fake. And isnt it a bit strange that these batteries are already available for such a new device? Best to wait for Seido or Mugen Power or other trusted companies to come out with an extended battery, that way you know you are getting what you are paying for.
I wonder if they will be able to make a larger one without the need of a new back-case.It's a signifficant difference from 1230 to 1500 but it might just work to keep the original case.
I am not a fan of those batteries because you have a high chance of damaging your phone or in extreme rare casses going boom. I know Mugen have managed to build a strong reputation for quality but while on an N900 for example a bigger case might work , on the HD7 it would look just wrong
My 2 cents
is the part number of your orginal battery 35H00123-00m? thanks in advance,
Mike
Hello!!!
I was searching in ebay and i found this:
[link] http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayISAPI....sPageName=VIP:watchlink:top:en#ht_2218wt_1139 [link]
I was thrilled at first 2430Mah!! It could't be.. However i thought that there may be drawbacks.. If anyone knows more can he tell me if to buy one?
Something else. If the battery is fake could it break the phone?
Thank you for you time!!
Buy it.
Made in Japan with 2 year warranty. Looks good to me.

Just got this battery, took ages to charge (a good sign), so far the battery is performing really well, early days tho yet, lost 20% charge at work today, normally, its at least 30 - 40%
Sent using TCP/IP
These batteries have been shown before to have far less charge than advertised. it might even be less than the stock battery...
Never trust the advertised mah unless its an official battery or if someone has done real testing on it.
The seller doesn't have a very good feedback for his batteries so I would avoid!
These batteries are made in China, they have had the Japanese writing added because people think Japanese cells are better than Chinese ones and they will sell better, stay away they are bu11sh1t.
Also if you are interested its impossible to fit 2430mAh of cells into the same formfactor as the original battery.

exactly. at least with current tech. we do have an official 1800mah battery that fits (actually its from SGS2 epic 4g) but even that is .5mm thicker.
2430 is 62% more than stock.

Generally these batteries are of very bad quality and slowly slowly u will start noticing battery life getting low and low day by day. Buy one which has many reviews and are all good. And buy one which is made by a renowned company . Search about any company you buy from, at Google.
P.s. Buy from a Korean company.
Sent from my GT-I9000 using xda premium
I highly doubt you will get the usage that it's said to bring. These cheap batterys are often dangerous and will turn out to be worse than your stock battery. Trust me if you value your handset I wouldn't use one of these.
Warninig - fake.
First of all: the weight: original SGS battery is 34g. So, if replacement experimental platinium super-hyper 3000Giga Ah battery will be lighter - it's a fake. And, it IS lighter.
Second, this and similar issues are and were widely discussed in Accessories:CLick and Click 2
Third, as you may see, both referred by me links contains the DIFFERENT ebay seller who:
- changed his eBay nick from ecell_accesorize to e_cell;
- in both cases is claiming that his stuff is located in Manchester, UK
- is completely untrustworthy, as he buys his eBay feedback. Please take a look on Buying eBay feedback announced thanks to NiTroGenious
- please read carefully both given by me threads. You will find that there is commonly negative feedback from testing: the positive feedback in relation to 1939mah battery was given by... none, and in case of 2430mah battery thread, the positive feedback was given by peoples referring to 1800mah PolarCell battery only.
Looks promising? Interested to waste your monies? Well, you're welcome then

Thanks on this i did not now all this about that battery u saved me too!!!thanks man
i really search a good battery which one is a good from this?
Hey,
I purchased a battery on Ebay for like 8$.
Shipped from Germany and claims to be genuine.
My tests:
Weight- Old genuine battery 33 grams, New battery 35 grams.
The stickers probably weigh a little bit so the battery supposed to weigh even less than 33.
Voltage- Old is about 4.078V at 100% charge, New is about 4.123V at 100% charge.
I don't really see a huge improvment in battery life although my old one 3.5 year old one.. Yet it's not worse for sure..
The old one has to be genuine since I got it with my device from a big cell phone provider store.
I uploaded pictures of them both. My old one (with stickers on it on the first image) and the new one (with the "original" sticker).
Thank you.
PS: scanning the QR on the old one gives "GH43-03441A+EB575152VU".
Scanning the new ones QR gives its serial number instead.
German quality should be good.

"Should be".. But how is it in my case?
The seller also sells these batteries from Spain too.. So I dont know how it's done and how "German" are they..
Anyhow they are made in Korea.. So it's doesn't really matters.
Do the states and looks seem ok?
i've already had 3 batteries, the stock battery, then a polarcell and now a Anker, and as far as i can see i need to recharge every evening, so i can't say the autonomy is improving!
However, since i run CM rom, i feel that the battery consumption is huge, whenever i browse the internet while on 3g!

Hey,
Thanks for the comment and trying to help.
But TBH I didn't really get the point in your words and how it answers any of the questions.
Hey,
The one thing that's really throwing me off here is in the 3rd to last picture, which shows the top of the battery - 3 small grooves instead of 2.
To compare and see whether there is any variation I did a check with both my S3 batteries and they're identical at the top. I can't get hold of my mother's Galaxy S right now so I can't compare how her batteries look (one was bought recently and the other was from 2010).
However I'm thinking that a genuine battery would look identical at the top as well.
Hope that helps, but someone with a better knowledge of these batteries will be able to tell you more.

Hi there,
I'm in New Zealand and my battery looks exactly like your original, made in china etc.
and has the 3 patches on the bottom edge.
your new battery looks close enough to me, it looks good, it fits the phone and it works.
the question I see is for $8 does it matter if its a fake?
(not really helpful in identifying a fake, just my opinion)

i've had my share of batteries, and they are all the same as far as battery life in real conditions is concerned!
The interesting part in your pictures is in fact the manufacturing date! Since it reads that it was manufactured in 2014, maybe the differences come from a manufacturing process that has changed (improved?) over time. At the very least you could consider yourself lucky that they did not ship you a 2010 battery, because i don't think batteries do age well.

Hey mate,
Did you mean "the buttom" insted of "the top"?
Because if you are talking about the picture with the buttom of the batterires where you can see 2 patches on one and 3 on the other, then it's the buttom of the battery.
The one with 3 patches is the original one and the one with 2 is the new one.
Thanks for your comment.

That's what I thought, that the proccess might have changed or something.. Maybe just different factories make different looking batteries (small changes)..
Who knows?
I dont believe it's going to explode or anything.. Unless it ain't as good of a fake inside of the battery..

Why is your battery so worn out? lol
And about the poor brod, fakes come in all kinds of shapes and qualities.. Who knows what kind of battery she bought..
Plus I dont think batteriess just tend to explode for no reason.. Extra heat would be a good sign for a risk of explosion.. As long as the battery is cool as the original and works as the original, I don't see any reason why it would do any damage.
I just want to find out if the battery is real cuz it's interesting to me. I wont throw it away if it isn't. It works just fine and cool.

Why don't you simply ask the vendor to attach the guaranty of Samsung to the package. This is the only way you will know for sure if it is the real deal.
As far as i am concerned for things like that i always go for the real deal (i.e avoid Chinese products at all costs) even if it means paying an extra buck, because you know i don't have no spare legs!

I dont know.. I think that if Ebay sellers had any papers considering the battery they would add it.. I dont think they have any..
And all products are made in china.. Doesn't matter how much you pay for them.. You can't avoid it.
Again, batteries dont explode without a warning and genuine ones are not safe from exploding either..
The G2 is over 2 years old now and still kicking for a lot of us, but the battery life has gotten pretty poor. I think a lot of us would be interested in buying a new OEM battery (seems like it is the same for all models) but there's a lot of fakes out there.
If you know where to buy an OEM battery for a reasonable price please post here, maybe with price+shipping.

Dont Know, My Phone is always heated means like i can fry an egg on it,and Battery is terrible,if i charge 100% at night,it will shut down in morning.
interested in this as well
Also interested in this
Extreme overheat and battery drain due to ageing
Got mine from Etradesupply on Amazon.
Works just like new ...which means insane"this phone just won't die" battery times again
Mine almost 1.5 years-old with custom rom, battery is still enough for 1 day, sometimes even more. No big change comparing to what I got at the beginning, so I guess battery is still fine.

My apologies guys.
Kept saying I got my battery from Etradesupply however I checked my Amazon history and saw it's epartsolutions
Here's the link to the Ad
Please note the reviews are 50/50. Some good some bad. I got a good one from them that was new and shipped very fast.
I'd email them and confirm you're getting a new one that's been tested before you purchase. That way you won't have problems
hey everyone i can't manage to remove all the screws to change the battery, any tips?
(i bought a wole kit with the good screwdriver and all)
What do you guys think of this one? Makes me feel a little bit happier knowing it's a german seller, althouth it might be very possible that it says made in China!

I had the same thing happen with two G2 batteries from etradesupply on amazon. Not that they're a disreputable company; it's just that I think it really was a hardware issue that arose after year. Second G2 + that new battery worked fine.

Hey guys. I think I understand what's going on with these batteries.
It's hard to distinguish between true oem vs cheap aftermarket.
My good battery died last week and won't charge.
Now I'm also in the same boat.
Like replacement screens, we also need a good source for batteries. Wish LG sold direct
I heard Nohon is good but I'd like to hear from anyone who has replaced the battery as to which one is good. The one for that model is the bn43 correct?

Have you found anything?I'm in search of a BN43 battery too and i have to say the whole subject is very confusing.For a start you can't really be sure that the so called original batteries are indeed original.There are more than enough excellent reviews about these but most people just "5star-ing" anyone that delivers the item on time and just 1 or 2 actually test the battery.
I heard Nohon is good too, but then i run into a review that says that it's almost as good as the original at start but then degrades rapidly in 2-3 months and its actually worse than the 2 years old original.
Also can anyone share with us how we can identify an original battery?I see some have the s/n in one row and others in two.Has it something to do with the identification of the originality of a battery?Can someone post a photo of his original BN43 or at least BN41 battery?Thanks!

Not sure. I did order a Nohon but haven't received it yet. I saw the good reviews of it but didn't know about the 2-3 month issue. We'll see. With accubattery app it says the capacity of my current battery is about 2800mah. With RR Pie and Franko kernel I'm getting more than enough charge for my needs. I didn't plan on replacing the battery immediately. I wanted the spare (Nohon) in case I wanted to replace it. I'll keep looking for an original if I can find a real one. I may end up getting the redmi Note 8. Not the pro since the pro is mediatek and I won't use one of those again since they don't release source code.

Just to make it clear by review i mean a buyers short comment for the battery.
2800 is too freaking low, maybe in 3-4 charges you'll get better result but i doubt it'll be more than 3300 mah.I think i'll go for an "authentic" and see what happens.Can you post a picture of your original battery since i can't be sure about my battery cause i bought the phone used.

My original battery is 2800 after 2 1/2 years of use. Haven't received my new battery yet. So yes the 2800 is low which is why I'm looking for a replacement. I haven't pulled the original battery yet.

Don't have a clue about quality but seems more reliable than the others.
