Hi, I recently bought a MP 2400 Battery for my BA. I noticed if we charged it while in the cradle, the battery does not last that long compare to charging the battery dettached from the device.
Anyone having the same experience? And also, how long does the 2400 MP battery last compare to original BA provided battery?
I believe, for optimal performance, it is recommended to charge the battery through and not through the cradle.

I am using Hastarins 7.6 kernel with ext batt support and Froyostones 3.2 build (Most recent as of Oct 23)
I have done some extensive research, although, i have not yet figured out a way to get an accurate reading, in android, of my extended battery (life percentage)
I have calibrated my battery (charged to 100% w/ phone on, shut off phone and charged until green light, then booted android, then turned off and charged again until green, then turned on and booted android) only to find out that the battery discharges at the same rate as with the original battery all the way down to 0%.... but does not recognize that the battery holds twice as much power. so really, the 100% battery drains to 0% on extended battery but does not recognize that the battery still holds 50% of its power left
i have never deleted my "batterystats.bin" Because i can't find the file anywhere using a root explorer and even recovery, although, i was told that this step is not necessary in calibration.
I have current widget and my draw is around 60mA on standby with BOTH original and extended batteries but It seems the android OS cannot get accurate readings on the extended battery? It cannot multiply the battery meter by 2 so that the drainage is reciprocal to the larger battery, thus resulting in a slower drain (like 10%/hour drain with original battery would equal 5%/hour drain on extended) ?
correct me if i'm wrong somebody please, or am i missing a step (besides deleting the batterstats.bin which i cannot find out how to do even after downloading recovery)
anyone have any information on this ratio?? battery percentage reading and the extended battery? will they ever be compatible for correct readings??
i've got the same problem with a cameron sino 2400 mah battery, but not only on android! i also got the problem on windows mobile (on every radio and rom version).
after removing the battery out of the device, it will show the right percentage of the remaining batterypower, but the batteryindicator is still falling in the speed of the normal battery.
i couldn't find any solution yet, but maybe it's a battery internal problem of the chip inside the battery.
it looks like the device is reloading the battery-chip-data only when plugging in the battery.
can you tell me, if your battery also is a cameron sino battery? or is it an original?
have you recallibrate your battery? Let it drain till 0%, and keep try to turn device on until totally no vibrate, then charge to 100% after 100% turn phone off and charge till green light, unplug and charge with phone off for a few times.
i already calibrated mine many times, but no change in the result.
i have read from anywhere else in the internet, that most people got that problem with chinese extended batterys.
one of that guys ordered a 2300mah extended battery from the manufacturer leicke - looks like it is maybe the same as the original one and he said, the new battery dont have the problem anymore and is working correct.
i ordered the same battery yesterday (for 21,- euro) and i will test it myself. i think the problem is the chip inside the chinese batterys, that will tell the device its a small one.
by the way, my cameron sino 2400mah battery is made of two small batterys that are linked.
i disassembled it!
Thats guy is me ^^ . But I i really dont see the big different between extended and the original . Must i really do the "recalibrate thing " ?

update: now i've got the leicke 2300mah battery with backcover and metal kickstand.
cover is fitting 100% and all looks and feels like its made of high quality.
the batterydraining ist detected correct and i dont have to remove the battery to see the current chargelevel.
the problem was that chinese crappy battery!
only one thing for androidusers: because of the most kernels don't support the extended batterys (temperature is reportet wrong and android is shutting down after booting), you need to change to a kernel like hastarin 7.7 or 7.8 that is supporting the extended batterys.
overclocking of the hastarin linux kernel work with overclock-apps, so there is no need for an overclocked kernel.
i'm very happy with that battery and it cost only 21 euro over amazon in germany.
i will never get a cheap chinese battery again
So, is it correct that batteries have some kind of chip in them?
yes, they do contain microcontroller
cheap chinese ripoffs often are just badly designed, made from low-cost cells and are very dangerous to use
So don't be surprised if your 'OEM' seico, chinapower, mugen, or whatever name doesn't hold promised charge or even work as original battery
Hi all,
I just bought a 3400 mAh extended battery on ebay . Is there a way to measure the battery capacity ? I used tbattery, but it seems not work correcly .
I like the battery very much, the battery cover fits 100% . But I still not get the battery to work, the power is still the same as the original battery. Do i need to install new roms or radio ?
Thx for reading !
Yes.
The pay electrical engineer would do it is:
- Have a multi-meter with ampmeter feature.
- Apply an electrical load (small light bulb or resistor) with ampmeter in series across the battery.
- With circuit closed, not ampmeter reading.
- Use stop watch and count how many minutes or hours the light stays running until the voltage drops a significant amount.
- The product of amps and hours is your wattage.
The Right Question is, How your device measures it?
Have you tried to remove and put back the battery again after your device says that the battery is over?
Yeahh, I just bought a new one 2300 mah by Leicke for only 20 euro. Used tbattery and it shows 2300 mah, the cover fit, kickstand is metal. Very happy now, thx all .

Hello guys
Do you know what is the máximum charge for the bh6x and the bh5x
I wonder if for the bh6x is 4200mV, i'm having a several battery drain and i want to make sure that the battery is in good shape
bh5x is the one that came with my phone and i'm not sure of it's maximum capacity too.
I recently replaced my battery with the same one that came with the phone. Found a relatively cheap OEM on eBay, and I charge it every day (sometimes twice on days with really heavy usage).
IDK the maximum charges, but you can kinda tell when a battery isn't as strong as it once was when it came with the phone.
Then again this is EXACTLY why I want removable batteries on my cell phones and absolutely HATE integrated battery cell phones... (IDC how "cool" the phone looks)

I have both of those and the maximum charge i get on the bh6x is 4200 and the bh5x is 4174
Hope that helps

Thanks. i found out that both charges uo to 4200 but everything depends on the power per hour they can deliver
Thankyou
Hi, I was asking myself if it was possible to copy batterystats.bin from a calibrated x10i to have our own x10i calibrated.
I explain : I see that file like a file with values that have the percentage of the battery with the duration and stuff like that, so copying it to have the right values.
Can work or not ? influenced by kernel or rom ? What do you think ?
Li-Ion batteries just need a good charge for approx 8-12hrs when new and first installed and having this process repeated for at least 4-5 charges.
The phone doesn't allow the battery to over change and cuts out and then starts changing again once the charge drops to a chargeable threshold.
This allows the battery to achieve it's maximum charge.
Li-Ion batteries should never be drained or allowed to run flat and should be charged regularly.
If you completely discharge a lithium-ion battery, it is ruined.
Li-Ion battery life is between 2-3 years.
I would let the battery sort itself out as all the battery status is based on the battery itself.
If the battery is old and on it's last legs, it'll have less charge than a newer battery.
P.S. If you plan to keep and use the XPERIA X10i for some time, it's well worth buying a Mugen Power 1800mAh battery.

how does that answer to my question ? Do they sell new x10i ? meh
Our Desire X has Li-Ion 1650 mAh battery. My question is: is the battery affected if I unplug it from charger before is 100% charged? Or when I use MTP for like 10 minutes and then I remove the cable...is the battery affected, will it discharge faster?
Sorry because I'm confused but I still think about the new batteries as being the old ones that needed to be formatted (it's not the case here)
no it won't be affected as such but if you want your battery last long like say for a whole day or 12 hours it is advisable to let it charge to 100% plus I have read in many forums that charging battery to 100% and then Using it maintains quality and health of battery for longer time and battery life too
