Nokia 8 battery replacement - Nokia 8 Questions & Answers

Hello,
Has anyone had any luck getting a good replacement battery for Nokia 8 (HE328 battery) in India, off Amazon/Flipkart or some other means? I have tried 4 batteries already, and every single one of them were fake.
1) UTRONIC HE328 battery (seller-SYS online store) - Amazon page-3030mah, on battery label:3030mah, actual capacity: 1400mah
Battery temperature sensor not working/always at 25°C, battery physically smaller than original
2) SAFA Mobile battery for Nokia 8 (seller: Glowing98. ) - Flipkart page: 3030mah, on battery label: 3030mah, actual capacity: 1850mah
Battery temperature sensor not working/always at 25°C, battery physically same size as original. Battery percentage varied crazily, with 4-10 % drawing in 450mah, 45-51 drawing 60mah, and so on.
3) UTRONIC HE328 battery (seller-UTRONIC) - Amazon page:3030mah, on battery label: 2630mah, actual capacity: still under testing (assuming to be close to 2100mah, will update when I confirm).
Battery temperature sensor not working/always at 25°C, battery physically smaller than original
4) There was a battery from an offline store, but it was almost 1400mah, so returned.
So far, (3) is the best possible battery I got. All the batteries had a different type connector (sort of like a 'S' shape?) , different from the original connector. None of them had working temperature sensors.
All the tests were done in at least 5 charge cycles from 0-100% (Discharging till 0 is bad, I know. But one of these batteries gave out a lot of charge (~100mah) with just 1% charge, so it had to be done for testing).
I will update this thread if I find a good battery, but if anyone had any luck with any batteries from Amazon/Flipkart, or some retailer in India (since i can't wait for a lot of days for international delivery), please post your experience/link to the battery/battery name and seller.

Finally found a good battery:
SAFA Mobile battery for Nokia 8 HE328, seller: Shoponenet, on Flipkart
This battery looks exactly like the OEM (it might even be an OEM battery), same physical size and labels. Rated capacity: 3030mah, Actual capacity after testing: 2950mah
This battery has a health of over 95%, which is really good, and gave me an SOT close to 10 hours, which is really good for my use case.
The battery connector is the same as an OEM battery (not the fake 'S' shaped connector), and has a working battery temperature sensor.
DON'T FORGET TO BUY FROM THE SELLER Shoponenet, since the same battery from a different seller gave drastically different results.
(I'm posting this as a reply in this thread, so that the info regarding a good battery is not lost in the list of various other poor quality batteries I had tested)

Galilio 2000mAh Extended Slim Battery

I just bought a Galilio 2000MaH battery, and I wanted to share with you all what a great value it is. After a full drain and charge, I got an additional 4-5 hours out of my phone than I normally did with moderate to heavy usage
For $15, I can use my phone far more than I could with the stock battery.
Running CM7 with stock kernel.
http://www.ebay.com/itm/150594275802?ssPageName=STRK:MEWNX:IT&_trksid=p3984.m1439.l2649
The reason some people report poor battery life from the extended battery is because its likely they didn't drain/charge the battery up before evaluating.
If you have any questions I'd love to be of assistance

Looks good.
Imagine the life you'd get with Scarykernel Stable, 200mhz min, 1.5ghz max and Scary governor.
ummm
No offense but that doesnt look like much use or that great battery life. I can run shoutcast using winamp 4 or 5 hours straight with bluetooth on also s little web page time and hsve 30 to 40% nattery left. If bored let your phone down n do the same. I have the chicitec 1550 that htcexpress falsley advertises as a 1900
I recently bought the galileo and i noticed only about 10% more life using it versus the stock battery. I cant complain for the 6$ i spent on it. I mostly dont like the fact that it doesn't have the temperature readings.
It's actually slightly less than a stock battery not more, but for $6 it's a great deal I have 2!
63 cents
sears.com has a supposed 2000 mha for .63., $2.52 shipping i think.
mine shipped today.
probably more like a 1550 overstated deal like the rest lol. if it's 1750 i'd be amazed.
*Shipped on 6th arrived on the 8th not too shabby.
Charging now we'll see
same
Charged the Sears 2000 (lol) it took 4208 mv's according to battery calibration app, about the same as my chicitec 1900 (lol). I think they're both 1550's. A bit better than stock.
I bought 2 Galilio "2000mAh" batteries and, on a tip from someone else, peeled the labels of to see that both were stamped 1000mAh by whoever manufactured them.
They work, but don't last nearly as long as stock. Maybe they use different batteries and throw there labels on them? I don't know, just know there's a risk.
bought one. fully charged/discharged about 6 times, averaging around 10 hours. my stock battery got at least 12 hours.
i think i got a dud.

Ummmm... Battery Help

I have a battery which has 4100+mV when i charged it to 100% ,
but it turns out to 3500+mV when it says 1%
anyone can explain why is this happened to the battery ??
Edit:what i really mean was where are the other 3500+mV go ?
and good battery are 2600+mV ????????
May be you try wiping the battery stats after 100% charge again?
or you try this link http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=884816
Thanks
this should help -> http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1024867
it's called battery calibration
That's voltage. And of what I know, it's normal that batteries lose some voltage when their charge decreases. Might be wrong.
Down cloack your phone to 480mhz. And you will have 3 Days or 2 days battery. And uninstall some apps.

The voltage drop is common for the battery. Li-ion batterys (3cell in our phone) has 4200mV when fully charged. From there is the drop. As the battery loses current, the voltage level will decrease. (and so the wattage remaining)
Each battery has a specific voltage, from which it is practically unusable in electronic devices. Then the battery is depleted. Li-ion batterys are workable ~3400mV (manufacturer specific).
If the Li-ion battery is depleted too much (around 2800mV) it is unusable, and cannto be resurrected (charged). Because of this, the device needs to be shot down earlier.
It is phisics and chemistry, life is like this sadly. But this is the large-scale working technology' best at the moment.
-> see picture for more information. It is for NiMH and NiCd but the Li-ion is nearly the same, just with bigger capacity, and bigger voltages.

htc hd2 1850 mAh battery - is it safe

i am planing to buy a 1850 mah battery for my htc hd2 and i have two questions:
this battery:
{

}
1. is it safe ( will the phone overheat and the processor die or something ?? )
2. if it is safe, is there some special setup to install the battery that it would work correctly or just turn off my hd2 and switch the original 1300 mah
with a 1850 mah battery and turn it on again ?
It is a cheap cell with false mAh claim.
At best it will be around same as original 1230mAh
At worst it will explode !
Be careful with these after-market cells.
Andida, Feipusi & Tekcomm have some proven record but none had the claimed capacity of 1600mAh+
I have Andida cells almost 2years old & they work quite good & at about $6.50USD are cheap replacements.
Feipusi & Tekcomm also been ok for me as cheap replacements/spares.
Standard size 1600mAh+ batteries simply are not available ...
thanks for the info.:good:
review on standard size better capacity batteries are available in forums. but personally i would say difference is negligible. try the high capacity bulky batteries. they atleast provide your device with some juice to work on.
no problem it is safe
If they are the same size as the original 1230 mAH, they are not 1850. I use original HTC 2300 mAH battery
where can i buy this ?

Big fat liar.
How can you say it's safe when there's not even a ONE safety mark print?
Also those batteries are a lottery:
-it might work, may not.
-it may explode and HURT/KILL YOU
Try more reliable sources(Andida, Mugen though they sell fake capacity batteries too) which are known better and at least contain CE marking. Or best, buy OEM battery for real capacity and safety.
With cheap batteries you never know what could happen.
Also, there is NO bigger capacity than 1230mAh for standard flat battery. IT DOES NOT EXIST.

This person should not be here at all for giving false info to people. What a cr**ker !
These cheap chinese batteries will do nothing but damage your HD2 in no time. Buy something as suggested by Mr.B, he knows what he's talking about.
I have used the Mugen extended batteries that gave no problems up till I ran over the phone with my bike. Gave the phone new life as I didn't have to charge it daily anymore.

I would wanna see how much size it adds.
This is a Question I would also like to see someone answer.
After buying 3 different types of battery for my old note 2 that didnt give any more of a power boost than my original battery, I am pretty skeptical about extended batteries at this point.
Fake. If it says 6500mah, its not. Best case scenario, maybe 4000mah. Will it last longer than stock 3000mah? Very likely. BUT... it won't be twice as long but the battery is >2x the stock size.
might be true. i mean its possible. but it will most likely make the phone around the battery area double in width...so not worth

of course its possible there are a lot of externe battery its very little and more 5400... then why not
If it is not physically larger in size, or heavier in weight. Then it is going to be around the same capacity as the stock battery. From my experience, most aftermarket batteries are not going to perform as well as OEM no matter the brand. Manufactures are good at making the most out of their battery size. The only way for you to get more capacity would be to get a battery that is physically larger in size, or a new and better battery chemistry.
I found This one :
http://www.ebay.fr/itm/Super-Capacity-Business-3-8V-7000mAh-Li-ion-BL-51YF-Battery-For-LG-G4-H818-H819-/262010074491?var=&hash=item3d0104757b:m:mnTW8myEolwGEIyniHHw1OQ
rather than searching for a big, giant, very heavy battery, why not just focus on what you can do to the phone to cause it to run cooler and use battery slower, my stock LG battery lasts 2 days on a charge because I have software to limit what apps are running in the background and to back down the CPU speed when not in use!

damn that looks sick wonder how it feels with the extended backside and whatnot
6000mAh
All those ones like that are actually 6000mAh batteries.
If you check the dimensions, they are double the thickness.
Double the thickness = double the capacity, it literally is as simple as that.
There is no magical new battery tech that only some generic company has to add in extra mAh to their batteries.
They are all Li-Ion batteries.
That said, check out the reviews here for ZeroLemon and MPJ, both have been extensively tested by XDA members and have multiple well written reviews here.
They both also give you every mAh they state in their description.
You can not go wrong with either of them.
Stay away from the brands that have skeptical claims of capacity, remember equal increase in size and capacity. (Generally)
Sometimes there is less capacity gain than there is size gain, that depends on the quality of the cells used in the battery.

Battery Life

Hi,
Is this normal battery? No motion sense/90 htz/location etc.
All background activity halted.
Strange...
Thanks in advance

@Openfire72
Yes, after 185 charge cycles your battery's capacity is (permanently) down to 90% of the original battery capacity. That is if the original capacity was only 3,700 mAh. Most P4XL batteries start out higher than that, so your capacity loss is probably greater. My replacement P4XL is still at 106% of the "original" capacity... which is basically the Google specified capacity. Since you use AB, you know you should try to NOT charge the battery much over ~80% and you will save a TON of battery wear cycles. I generally start charging around 20-25% and run it up to 80 or 85 (+60%). The battery wear cycle for this is about 0.22. In your screenshot, one of your charge sessions was from 57-100% costing you a 0.91 wear cycles. That means I can charge my battery 4 times (0.88) and still have less battery wear than your one charge (0.91). If you want to retain your remaining battery capacity as long as possible, try keeping to this 20-80 regimen as much as you can.
EDIT: Scroll down the health tab and post a screen of your scatter chart which will show you graphically your charging habits over time.
EDIT2: In the attached screenshot look at the battery wear cycles vs "added charge" On the bottom charge cycle, I added 67% charge at a penalty of only 0.22 battery wear cycle.
Hi, and thanks for your help on this as it's greatly appreciated. The phone gets paid off next month and after two years there's nothing I like apart from this device. I'll prob get a new battery!!! Great phones despite the small battery....I wasn't bothered about the ultrawide as I don't use one, but if they'd just stuck a bigger battery in....if!
