[Q] 3rd party batteries - XPERIA X10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

can the mugen batteries be trusted......they come in 1800,3600mah variants......is anybody using them?????
plzz help as i'm considering buying them.

I would say stick with SE ones, I have two 3rd party ones and they run out seemingly faster than my original one and also iv found that left not in the phone or charging just laying around idle they don't hold 100% cbarge where as my original does.
I have 3 batteries in total and the one that came with the phone is best for me and all 3 are suposedly 1500 Mah

The mugen 1800 last the same as the 1500 stock one. there is a test somewhere. If I can find the link I will post it.
Found it. Batteryboss.Org
I wanted a spare battery too but after reading the reviews I ended up buying a portable usb battery pack, and I am pleased.

Ive had the mugen 1800 in my X10 for some time now and it works great. With regular use the longest charge ive gotten out of it was just over two days. Never got that time out of the stock battery. Cant go wrong for the price really. And worse case scenario, youve got an extra battery.

Hi,
I haven't used them but I've been tempted. I've heard the 1800mah ones aren't that great from reviews and that the extended one only gives you a little more battery life (And that it's a bigger battery). That's the problem with extended batteries... Your best bet is getting another sony one off Amazon for 30 bucks, as far as I can tell. ebay is a ripoff, they're all fake even though they say they're genuine goods...

is the 3500mah battery safe/good?

I was looking through ebay for a new battery for my thunderbolt and there were some extended batteries that were 3500mah for around $12. I was just wondering if these batteries are any good or safe to use because it just seems too good to be true.
Sent from my ADR6400L using XDA App
I was wondering that too. I saw some on ebay where they had TWO 3500 mAh batteries for like $20 or something.
It's unlikely that they're close to the claimed capacity, but they're cheap enough to try.

I can answer this! I got the same 3500mAH battery off Ebay.. Is it safe? Yes, my Thunderbolt worked fine with it, but as far as it being good - well, you get what you pay for. I have the HTC 2750mAH battery and it lasts much better than the aftermarket one you're talking about. If you're looking for a decent extended battery that's still pretty inexpensive, there is one made by Yobado that's 2800mAH. I haven't tried it for my Thunderbolt, but I had a Droid X with a Yobado extended battery, and it actually worked pretty well.
I haven't tried one but do your research, some aftermarket on eBay work, i bought an extended galilo slim no added bulk battery for my evo 2000 mah and it def lasted longer than stock, i doubt it was really 2000 but an improvement and 2 for 15 dollars with a battery charger

just ordered a thunderbolt and will be looking for extra stock batteries (don't want the added thickness) and a dock which will charge them. I'm guessing 1 extra battery will probably get me through the day at work.
Anyone seen them?
edit:
something like this:
http://www.amazon.com/1500mAh-Quality-Battery-Wireless-ThunderBolt/dp/B004T19WAA
charges phone and extra battery at the same time.

[Q] Which replacement battery to buy?

my battery last about 8hrs with barely no use. with average whatsapp and email i'd be lucky to get 3-4hrs. I've already tried every trick listed in the forum to extend batt life. it turns off randomly under heavy use (camera or video playback, games, etc). those things work when its on the charger.
I've decided to replace the battery and my back cover that doesn't seat properly anymore. i wanted to know if anyone have purchased the extend battery; and that back cover looks alot bigger than the original.
is it worth it? amazon.com item # B002MPY4BW
or should i just buy the standard replacement battery? amazon item # B001IF277K
what BST is the battery and what is the v.??

thx for ur help
The model # on my battery is the X10a
I personally had the same problem got a new battery and it lasted much longer
Go extended.
If anything it's healthier for the device.
yea... i think that would be best.

The original battery is too small.
They may have been built in a SE factory but the current rating is too low for the x10's demands.
SE would have solved many problems by just using a larger cell.
The x10 sometimes requests more current that what those poor cells could supply.
Due to a overly hungry GSM 3G radio.

Yes, that makes sense, but is there any sort of guarantee that these no-name batteries use actually larger cells and produce higher rating?
All I'm saying is I am a bit reluctant to trust cheap so-called extended batteries.
i think the original batteries are weak too. don't even have 3G here. at first it lasted a full day with just music, texting and calls. once i added data it dropped more than half.
know whats odd tho.. at home on wifi i get longer battery life. i think it has something to do with this mobile data service.
quick update.. got the new battery.. went with the original so far 21hrs and i'm at 13% batt life. i'm happy rite now. i kno thats gonna go down a bit once my provider remove that blackberry data plan(had to use a BB for 2 weeks) and have my regular data working again.

Highest mAh Battery That Fits Stock Case

Anybody came across a good one?
Also interested in this as well.
Looks like a 2100 or 2500 will fit in our phones. Problem now is finding a battery that actually has that capacity mAh in it.

Personnelly, I spent $10 and bought 4 spare batteries and a battery charger and I just replace on the go.
Most of these batteries they sell on Ebay are overrated in the actual mah capacity they claim. There is a way to check the mah with a meter and a small load and a timer but to me its too much trouble.
Some are good some are not. You are essentially buying a pig in a poke. They are cheap, not doubt about that.
Here is a lot I bought out of china. They sold these in a lot of 10 for $39.00 with free shipping. Took about two weeks for me to get them.
So, that's about $4.00 each. They seem fine.

As long as you don't charge them, they will have a long shelf life. Once you charge them then you should use them by cycling.
I only use 2 for now, rotating them out. If you play games or watch movies, the battery drains fast. I know its a pain to pop the back off and swap em but at least you can do it.
The new EVO 4G LTE, does not come with a removable battery. Once you run it down, it has to go on the charger. One feature I don't like about it. However, I think HTC is moving in that direction on all their future phones.
I like being able to change the battery. I used to listen with headset all day at work with my phone in my shirt pocket at the factory. I would have to swap out two to three batteries a day. I had a stack of them on another HTC phone I had.

Does anyone have an answer for my question?

I really hope your wrong. Although I wouldn't doubt it. Real stupid move. I'm gonna say it might really hurt them financially. This is one of the many reasons I've stayed away from that i-crap out there. I would have been one of the first on the waiting list to get the new evo 4g from sprint. I've been following that phone a long time. No quad core and lack of being able to replace a battery, no thanks.
I like extended batteries no matter how good the stock one is. My evo 3d stock battery is way better than when I had my evo 4g with stock battery. I'm rooted and runnin swagged out with the kernel it came with. I get 1-3 days of battery life with my stock evo3 battery. Can't wait till the end of the week for my new ext battery to get here. I'm really hoping I see 2-5 days or more. Not many phones will do that. Not even those precious i-devices those sheep love.

I'm going to guess and say they will fit just fine. I have the same charger and their pic shows it being flush with the top of the chatter. Plus it doesn't come with a extended battery back cover. Factory evo 3d batteries are 1730mah and those are 1900mah. Not much difference there. Its not like its a 2500-4000mah battery.

There is no being wrong about it. The phone is out. This is easy to prove.
I've played with it. The HTC rep at Radio Shack had one.
The battery life is tremendously good on the phone especially giving the size of the screen. However, like I say when its dead or almost there, it has to be on the charger. You cannot simple just swap in a fresh battery. Ain't happening on that phone. And I agree, big mistake for HTC - I reckon they're counting on the fact they've add enough bells and whistles to get you to overlook this.
I've always had an idea for a battery. Why can't they make a battery like a capacitor. Where it would charge up in like a nano second and discharge very slowly as needed on demand. That way, when you need to charge it, you'd just walk over the charger, zap it for 2 seconds and unplug it --- good to go for another few days.
Also what every happened to fuel cell powered cell phones? They told us that one fuel cell would power the phone for 20 to 30 years without ever charging. Science fiction I guess.
Even the new film type screens they're working on will require power. Even if you can get the screen as thin as a dollar bill and flexible, its still going to require a battery.

New 3500mah extended batteries

Just saw these on eBay. They come with a different looking back cover and only cost about $10. I also saw a similar one made by Hyperion.. might be a good compromise between the oem extended (2750mAh) and the mugen (4000 mAh) if it's accurate..
http://pages.ebay.com/link/?nav=item.view&id=280905307296
And the Hyperion version

Went for the Hyperion. Will report back.
Yeah it seems worth the risk of $10-15...the only thing holding me back is that I already have a diztronic extended tpu case and this new style wouldn't fit it. I might be willing to chop up one of my standard tpu cases though...I'll have to think about it..

I don't trust Hyperion. I bought a couple regular-sized batteries and one of them shorted out and overheated quite a bit. I have no problem with my Laza Zcell, which is also an intermediate between the HTC Extended and the Mugen
Truth be told I bought two of the standard size Hyperion batteries a long time ago that came with an external charger too. They were defective but Hyperion gave me a full refund and let me keep it all (I still use the charger). They told me they had been having some issues and something to the effect of "please give us some time to work out the kinks and we'll figure it out." They were very nice and helpful and I was impressed by there customer service so I'd be willing to give them another shot. (LISTEN UP HTC and Verizon! Good customer service helps in the long run! )
Edit: and no, I don't work for them or anyone for that matter!

Frankly, I'm surprised that Verizon's batteries aren't locked down so you can only recharge them on their cables and chargers. That's sort of the attitude they take with everything else they sell, isn't it?

bought a couple of hyperion standard batteries for the thunderbolt and they always died between 10-15%. Not sure I trust them. Also, that back door is fugly. I wonder if my stock extended battery cover would fit?
I tried the hyperion battery and i couldn't get any signal with the battery.
I liked the feel of the cover but the best signal I could get was 1x. even with the OEM extended battery and the hyperion cover.
The OEM cover and the hyperion battery seemed to also block my signal. Couldn't get any signal with any of the hyperion parts. I'm glad I didn't spend too much on it
Well that's disappointing...as I stated before, they were at least really nice about it when i tried their standard ones. I'm sure if you're tactful/polite they'll give you a full refund. Who knows, maybe that unnamed cheaper non Hyperion one works? I'm just a big fan of buying random cheap sh*t off eBay to see what I get. I've got some really fun stuff around the $2 range like a 3.5mm dust plug with a mini android in it, a gold stylus shaped like a feather, etc...but I digress.

Same happened to me with the back cover not getting a signal. This in turn caused the battery to die faster.

Lmfao, I do the same thing. I will give the unbranded one a shot when payday comes.
Yup. The Hyperion back seriously sucks. The OEM extended battery back fits well enough if the Rezound is in a case, though.
Finished my first deep discharge and will give it 5 cycles with the OEM back before passing judgment.
Dumped down the innertubes from my Rezound via xda premium.
I had one of these batteries for my og EVO, sadly when I peeled it apart out of curiosity it was just two 1100mah batteries in parallel. So I doubt it will be better than the HTC extended batt.

Well, if that's the case, it would still be 400 mAh better than the stock extended (ie 1600*2). And considering that I have almost no service at work I regularly kill my 2750 in 8-10 hours. Plus it would be nice to be able to listen to streaming music for more than 8 hours on LTE.

I am going to the trouble of actually running this thing down to near 10% before recharging (I don't want to go further because some ROMs have an anomaly where they misreport battery level). I've just finished my third discharge cycle and I'm getting 24 hours with active use of the handset, including media playback through BT, phone calls, texting, web access, etc. That's good enough for me, although I will follow-through with 2 more full discharges as instructed and see what my mileage is.
BTW, the battery works fine with the "original" Verizon Extended Battery back, so I probably will never use that crappy Hyperion back again.

To be honest, I've never tried a full run-down of my OEM Extended (the 2750 mAmp from Verizon). I guess I ought to do that to get a truer measure.

[Q] Anker vs Hyperion vs ? need help with what to get.

So my OEM Samsung battery is about junk. Wondering what people suggest to get as a replacement and why?
Im looking for something that fits the stock battery cover. I had one of those 4400mah batteries but the cover that came with it didn't last long and there was no case that fit it well.
So what does everyone recommend?
I have 2 anker batterys, and while they both work and have about the same longevity of the stock battery, I encountered 1 issue. One night I left my phone on the charger with the anker in it and woke up to find my phone almost too hot to touch and the overheat symbol on screen. I ripped the battery out, and it was swollen to about 1.5 times the thickness of normal. The phone and battery still work fine, but id rather buy a different brand next time. That's my 2¢ if it helps any.

The ? should be RAVPower. Check this review of various batteries. You may got some idea which one to buy.

Personally prefer Anker .
