Photon 4G uses battery type HF5X with 1700mah capacity, I wonder if Photon 4G can use BF6x/BH6x which has 1880mah capacity, anybody tried?
Nope. That would be too simple. The battery edge is keyed differently and the contacts are different.

But if this battery is good for atrix and photon, why wouldn't any other like this 1930 mAh one?
I've heard that the BF5X (1500mah) will work.
photon battery hf5x vs bf6x
I just received a bf6x battery and it does not fit in my phone....2 corners need to be a little smaller.

I think this is the same battery on I bought on eBay. It fits and works but is several mm thicker and the back will not go on the 855 phone. Battery says for MOT822/BF6X 1950mAh
I bought 2 BF6X with a charger on ebay, blindly taking the seller's word that it was the correct match. Obviously it's not the correct match, but it actually fits in my phone and works ok so far. It was a tight fit to snap in the top edge of the battery into the phone, and the part of the back cover (right above the kickstand) sticks out 1-2 mm. But if it gives me bettery battery life and doesn't set my phone on fire, I'll probably stick with it.
I bought them as well but it causes to much pressure on the screen. Don't matter where I touch I get a pressure spot in the lower center of screen.

My seller gave me a refund without a problem and did not want the batteries or charger back. The charger works with the proper batteries. I gave him a positive feedback.
photon battery
the photons battery is 3.8 volts not 3.7 volts
in other news seidio's extended battery is now available for purchase, 3500mah of goodness, lasts all day for even a power user and then some, most will get two or more days of a 3500mah battery, that is the case with my evo4g and its seidio extended battery
buying batteries on ebay is risky business, lots of counterfeits and lots of poor quality batteries that can ruin your devices, buyers beware!!

Ah thank you. But no I'm not paying that much for a battery. Especially since I've been using the phone for barely a week now.
Also, since it replaces the back cover of the phone I'm a little bit skeptical. I'd rather just buy a spare from motorola when the prices drop (couple of months from now?)

Honestly I would go for something just a little higher in the mAh department than stock without having to add a ginormous back plate.

Seidio has their extended life battery available, but I think it's like $80 as well. Has anyone confirmed or denied if the Atrix battery works with the Photon? Since I heard some place it was 1900 mah.
atrix doesnt work but the driod 3 battery does
id be interested to see what kinda quality the cover is. the seidio one i had on my evo was too fast and easy break. after a few battery pulls from my flashing needs, that dang cover had snapped tabs.
The photon has one heck of a grip on the battery cover and it would be hard for me to swap that out for a extended battery one that is week and not fitting as good as stock.
I vote to have an extra battery in the briefcase or a little solar charger unit that holds charge if you plan to be away form a wall plug for extended times.
I get over 20 hours with my stock battery, rarely is there not a charger around me. and if i dont have a charger around for that long of time, i normally have my phone off bc i dont want to hear from the world then (hunting, fishing, on the lake)

when you consider that a 1650 mah battery from motorola costs 49 dollars a quality extended battery with 3600 mah isnt all that expensive. These batteries provide freedom from carrying chargers and extra batteries around. Mugen makes high quality extended batteries and give you the power you pay for which is more than can be said for cheapo chinese batteries on ebay, some of which dont even provide the power they advertise. You get what you pay for.
---------- Post added at 04:04 AM ---------- Previous post was at 03:55 AM ----------
Both Mugen and Seidio Extended batteries are a great buy. They free you from carrying a charger around or extra oem batteries and having to worry about charging them throughout the day.
The motorola photon battery costs 49 bucks, dont expect the price to go down.
At 3600mah and 3500 mah respectively, these extended batteries will last you two full days without charging with heavy phone use, texting and some web browsing.
While these batteries do ad some bulk to your phone I have found them to be very handy. Having used batteries from both companies on my Evo and other phones, the added bulk is not a problem at all and actually makes it easier to handle the phones. The only disadvantage is that you will not be able to use cases on your phone. That problem is easily solved by buying a pouch with a beltclip and store your phone in that. With my evo I use a belt clip pouch from best buy.....24 bucks. Seidio usually makes extended cases that will fit phones using their extended batteries.

Generic chinese batteries never provide their rated mah, are made from poor quality materials, can catch fire and can damage your device. Also if you look at that battery cover the speaker would be impeded by it as it does not accommodate the speaker appropriately

Just curious, where do you think the Moto batteries are made? Hand-made and individually tested in a lab on Palo Alto? I don't think so. How many factories do you think make these specialty batteries? Chances are they all come from the same place, Moto label or not.
I bought two generic 1750mah batteries on eBay for $12 total and they last as long at the Moto battery supplied with the phone. Not a single fire.

If you wanna ruin your phone with a generic chinese battery feel free, but people deserve to know the truth about those no name batteries at dirt cheap prices, motorolas oem battery contains japanese cells cheap chinese batteries do not, for your information I was sharing personal experience with those cheap ass knockoff batteries.

They designed it that way to keep NFC intact. Look at the backdoor of your Note and will see two contact points on the NFC antenna that need to make contact with two contact points next to the microsd card slot. NFC compatible extended batteries on eBay have the same design. Also might explain why Mugen is taking so long with their variant because they could not find a work around.
However, that battery might fit with one of the non NFC compatible back covers on eBay. So you could sacrifice NFC for a better look with the extended battery.

I have one of these extended batteries on my Note. I also had one on my Blackberry before I switched to the Note. I require a long runtime with my phones, and I am not going to carry multiple batteries around with me to do so. Tried that with the BB, and hated it, and went the extended battery route.
So...I agree with the previous post about the battery door being stupid looking.
When I bought the extended battery (from ebay), I received a door for an international version of the note. I knew that was what I was getting since the extended battery door for the LTE version was not out yet, but I wanted to see if I could make it fit somehow. I also was aware that NFC would not work with the new door, and didn't care, since I haven't found a need for it yet.
I got the battery and international door in. battery fit fine, but door did not. I tried trimming the tabs a little and was able to make it fit, but not *lock* in place like the door should. The company I bought the extended battery from said they would send me the LTE door when they got them in, (that is another reason I was willing to try all of this).
I got the LTE door in. Yes, it is ugly. I like the style of the international door MUCH better. I am using the LTE door for now. Battery life on this "cheap" 5000 battery has been awesome. Previously, I was getting only about 6 hours per charge. Now, I am getting 10-12, which gets me through my day. No...it probably isn't a true 5000 battery, but for $12, and a company willing to work with me on the door, I was happy to try it out, and I am happy.
As for protection for the phone with an exteneded battery door, I have this coming in:
http://www.ebay.com/itm/120841214598?ssPageName=STRK:MEWNX:IT&_trksid=p3984.m1497.l2649
I am hoping that this will give some slight bumper protection but allow the battery bump to stick out. It only surrounds the very edge of the phone, not over the speaker like some of them do, which won't work.
Ok...to make this post even longer....
Anyone know of an extended battery door that looks like this one:

that will work on the US LTE? I know it won't have the NFC antenna, but I don't care. I just want one that is shaped like that instead of the ugly bump one I have now.

Hey, I noticed the battery life not living up to what it used to be when awake, and looked up how to take apart the back to replace the battery, and it seems simple enough. Remove bottom back then screws, so I was wanted to know if I could buy a better battery than the original since I'm replacing it anyway? Any guidance would be great!
Sent from my EVO using xda premium
There aren't any companies that make them for this device. Since the battery isn't removable, they wouldn't be selling any. Well, except to people like you who are going to disassemble the phone. That said, the standard extended battery wouldn't work, because then you wouldn't be able to reassemble the phone. It would have to be the exact same size, like what Anker offers for the Evo 3D. Sorry though, going back to a factory battery is going to be your only option here
I would like to have this option as well! It could very well be that it just isn't possible to pack anymore mah in the same footprint as the factory battery. I know this is the case with the Note 2. If you want more mah with the Note 2, the only option is to buy a battery that is larger than stock and go with a thicker battery door. There are some batteries on ebay that claim to have more mah in a battery that's the same size as factory, but people have found that this isn't true and that the battery actually has less mah than the factory battery does! Now Anker does offer a Note 2 battery that's listed as having the same mah as stock, but many people have said that it will last a couple hours longer! If Anker offered a Evo LTE battery, then I would definitely try it out! I have multiple Anker batteries for my Evo 3D, and have had nothing but good experiences with them!! I'm pretty sure Anker was the brand I had for my OG Evo as well, but don't remember for certain. I've got Anker batteries on order for my Note 2, so I'll find out soon if Anker will impress me yet again. Sorry I couldn't give you any good news...

Check out the Seidio Innocell Plus Power case for the EVO LTE. It sells for $69.99 on Amazon and it might be just what you're looking for.

The reviews for it are very hit and miss if I remember correctly
Screw EVERY backup battery you all have in mind and just get an ANKER 13300maH battery. Of course it loses about 30% on conversion, so it will rate around 9500 or whatever, but it is enough to FULLY charge my EVO 4G LTE about 3-4 times from being dead. The only bad thing I have to report about it is that I didn't find it sooner, but other than that it's been flawless in keeping me happy. I wish the carrying case was a bit bigger so cramming the extra bits into it wouldn't be such a challenge, but other than that I love it. And one thing I didn't mention is you can find them at an extremely reasonable rate on Amazon or ebay. Just be sure to order from the company directly so you don't get a fake one.

Just wondering whether or not this battery will harm the phone, or if it actually has the capacity of 3500 MaH. Seems like a great deal.
Can you post a link
You can put it in your phone and run a battery test and see if it is 3500mAh.

Two cheap Chinese batteries. I won't lie, I'd be really nervous about using them.

Only reason to be worried is because why?
Over-heating melting or what?
In most cases those cheap batteries do not even have half the capacity printed on the sticker.

Whenever you hear a story about a phone exploding in someone's pocket, there's a cheap battery to blame.
Seems too good to be true, but I'll avoid it. I'd rather spend the money on an OEM battery with 3,000 mAh so I'm assured that it'll work, and that it'll last.
Here's a hint: if a battery is advertised as being the same size with more capacity, it is too good to be true.
I ordered one for $8 off ebay. I'll post results in a few weeks when I get it.
I live on the wild side and ordered the miracle Chinese 3500 batteries. Oh well, life is a gamble. When I get them in two months, I'll report my review. Oh well, it was just $17.99
What could go wrong...:cyclops:
Batteries and sd cards are scams on ebay. The batteries often even have a label underneath the top one with a smaller capacity written on it. They also don't last very long at all. Even if it works well new, prepare to be displeased in a couple months.
I have bought those black ones in the past and they were pretty bad. Like they only lasted a couple hours. Hopefully these are better. But I have also bought the ones with a yellow and red stripe and they were much better. Not as good as an Anker but still pretty good. Here is one for 6 bucks and it ships locally. http://www.ebay.com/itm/3300mAh-battery-for-LG-Sprint-Optimus-G3-LS990-D850-D855-S-Stylus-/191257900734?pt=US_Cell_Phone_PDA_Batteries&hash=item2c87dbf6be
These aftermarket batteries is one thing I will not touch with a 10 foot pole. No matter how much I need a spare. There's only a few reputable 3rd party battery manufacturers that I would buy without hesitation. But I wouldn't go near eBay batteries.
What about Caseology batteries, I bought two of them hope them work same as OEM

I did a run down test on one a few years ago, and they were about 75% compared to factory, haven't tested since then and that was in the HTC Rezound.
If you have the time, charge them up and do a run down test with screen on full brightness playing high res video until it's dead, repeat that with stock and then you'll know what you've got. And you can let us know
goooddddddddddddddddd
I'll be waiting for zerolemon to put something up. Quality > *
