I wanted to know you're thoughts on getting a second htc battery and wiring them in Parallel. (soldering them together) Should be same voltage just different capacity. Do you think it would work? Would it break anything? Only thing i was worried about is the overcharge protection in the individual batteries.
Sent from my PG86100 using XDA App
In parallel, voltage will stay the same amps will be added. In series, voyage will double, amps will stay the same. When you do this, voltage multiplied by power will give the power output. It should be okay to charge as one will stop charging. What I am thinking but could be wrong is that since the batteries have overcharge protection..in parallel, when one charges to full, the other one still will charge since there is not a broken connection say if it was in series. But only testing will see if they work.
Im thinking / hoping it will charge both at the same rate, just 1/2 the speed, it would take twice as long though. It should be same charge time as say Seido Innocell 3400 mAh Super Extended Life Battery. I could get a second battery for $20. Where the 3400 and 4000 seido cost 70 and 75.
Basically trying to get the 3400 for $20 and 2 min solder time. Just wanted to know if it would ruin the built in protection.
Let us know if that works, if it does I am gonna give it a shot.
let us know please. and how are you going to hold these in your phone?

The only damage might be from the heat of the solder gun. Those babbies, from what I seen are cmos chips very close to the connections of the terminal.
why would you even do this?
This just sounds like a very bad idea... Please video tape it for us!
This is a bad idea. I mean it's just better if you shelve more money and get a bigger battery. Props to you if you find a convenient way of charging these batteries in parallel.

My opinion:
You are taking a risk of ruining 2 batteries to save a couple bucks? Worst case scenario: You buy the extra battery ($20.00), you ruin both batteries, you have to replace your original battery now (another $20.00) so now you have already spent $40.00 and you are back at square one. Even if you figure out how to get it to work, you have to figure out how to mount the extra battery. For $65.00, you can get the Seidio 4k battery and backplate and not go through all the hassle.
But, it is my opinion, and if you do try this, I must see it on you tube
how do you plan to fit these in the phone? an extended battery door is probably too small to fit two stock batteries, and how do you plan to make it fit with such a tight top to bottom clearance given that you now have extra length from soldering?
just buy an extra battery and battery charger, keep the spare in your pocket. no added bulk, no potentially messing up both batteries, no blowing anything up!

Lithium batteries have to be carefully charged if they are to low voltage or to high voltage they can explode into fire balls of pain and fury. DO NOT try to charge 2 cells with out a charger designed to charge multi cell batteries (http://www.sparkfun.com/products/10473 is one available for fairly cheap) You will need to figure out pinning to get the 3 wires out (other then +/-) to properly charge the batteries.
Once again, DO NOT try to charge them in a normal charger you rig your self, it is incredibly dangerous and you ARE going to burn down your house.
just order the 3500mah battery from fleabay...it's under $10 shipped and comes with the back door. Actually read somewhere that they just pretty much stack and wire two stock batteries together. I just ordered mine today...for the heck of it.

Not to start a flame but it is my understanding lithium batteries cannot be charged while Li- ion batteries can plus hold a charge per density greater then just lithium. Also with the overcharged protection in the baterries, any charge that was going to one battery will hence go to another.once both cell in each battery are full the phone or,smart wall charger will stop charging.. I don't agree with the op idea to try..it will result in a waste of batteries.

Odds are you'll burn your house down. There is a lot more that is needed to safely charge Li-ion batteries than just plugging it in and running power through it.
Do this and use a SBC kernel and let me know what happens! :
I actually have 2 evo 3d batteries soldered together in my phone now and repacked. I've been using for 2 weeks now. I get the best battery life i have ever gotten. I'm a very heavy user. It can last me way over 20 hours with heavy use.
Before this battery I had 2 samsung galaxy s batteries soldered together. They were 1650 mah each. I have been doing this with all my phones for quite some time. You will get better battery life than most of the extended batteries that you can buy out there.

I just got this battery from Lionbattery and it is emazing. I use to get about 15 hrs with standard batter. With this one I get 48 hrs, it is really worth it for me. I only had the battery for 3 days thus far.
i just got the extended battery - and am in the process of charging it now...
well, as what most people said - the back cover that came with the battery doesnt fit snugly into the unit. there is a outcrop on the seams (much like a bulge if you were too tight a pants)...
question, though - it says on the label that i should initially charge and discharge it between 3 to 5 fives to maintain the noted capacity... what does it mean? that i cannot use it until ive gone through 3 cycles?
also - how does one full discharge the device? i mean, doesnt the device turn off automatically after some set of seconds? how can i keep it ON the entire time?
thanks in advanced!!!
I bought a 2800 one off ebay came with charger, and car charger for $30 last week.

The whole "Lithium batteries has no memory" thing is really a myth. All batteries have a memory. The Lithiums are just way, way better at forming a false memory than Ni-Cads or even Nmh batteries. The lithiums are so good, in fact, that you can treat them as if they have no memory.
Anyway, to train the battery intially, put it through 3-5 full charge/discharge cycles. I do it with normal usage. Charge it till it is full and then use it until it shuts off. Repeat. The hard part (at least for me) is not plugging it into a USB for syncing or for modding the thing... cause that'll charge it, and you don't want to apply any charge (if possible) for those first 3-5 cycles. When I get the first battery alarm, I'll back the phone up just incase, then keep going.
Also, I've heard it was important that once you start charging it, you don't stop until it is fully charged again. ie, don't unplug it from the wall to make a call... go over to the wall and make the call while it is plugged in.
There is a site that we highly recommend for information about batteries. The site is www.batteryuniversity.com.
They also have detailed information on how to prolong the life of your Li-Ion battery HERE.
If you're up to doing some reading, you'll find the information very useful.

Lion Battery
Li-Ion's do not have memory. They have a drastic drop once they go under a certain point of discharge.
I have the 2800 mAh, it works great and after a full day of use I have about 40% battery life.
-2 hrs on phone
-40 emails
-random web browsing
-Turn 3G and WiFi off when not used.
So you can see from the stock 1300 mAh which would last me about 9 hrs this is a HUGE step in the right direction.
Mine was on ebay for 30 bones with car charger, and Wall charger.
Don't buy on eBay, at least not from lifestyle0806
Last year I ordered 2 extra batteries for my Nokia E61 from that guy.
The two batteries were wrapped by a fake nokia sticker. When I removed the sticker, I found inside the REAL size of the battery. It was a small 850mAH battery inside a plastic frame with a sticker claiming it was 1350mAH
So on eBay you'll find 2800mAH or 3000!!!... for only 20$ or something... but they are totally fake.
Or at least, they'll SUCK big time
I still used those two fake batteries, and one of them randomly shuts down my phone even if it's still full. The other one will drop to 1 bar of battery, then spike back up.. then drop.

Great information and I am glad to hear that I don't need to cylce through charge and discharge in order to get good performance out of the battery.

Seidio 3200 MAH, It Rocks!!!!!!!!!!!!
i just ordered one off ebay
I bought a 2800 mah battery for my 8525 off ebay from a cheap vendor and i admit it did give me more power but on closer inspection when i cracked the pack open it was two 1100mah wired together. I know this because they were stamped with 1100mah lol. Im still using it until this day but you truely get what you pay for. I would take the advice and buy from a reputable vendor or.... take my knowledge if you want a 2200 mah battery for 15-20 bucks.
I got an extended battery 2850mah from ebay. Initially it is no better than the regular battery.Then after a few cycles (5X) when I check my SPB battery meter which indicates the approx run time in hours it comes to 10 hours +! with the regular battery it only goes 3-4 hours. In terms of percent it stays at 100% longer.

Sorry to have to say but in this paragraph, you contradict yourself, first you say they dont have a memory and call it a myth, then you say they do.
In fact they dont have any memory effect, its better to charge them whenever rather than let them drain completely..

rant over
I bought a 2800 from 360wireless on ebay and have had it for almost a month. It certainly has doubled my usage, so with random surfing on 3G/HSDPA (roughly an hour or so of solid surfing), a keepalive connection on my IM program (on E/G for battery purposes), screen dimming after 30 seconds, and about 10 emails a day and 50-100 chat messages, I'm at about 50% at the end of my day.
I'm good with that. I don't need to open it and inspect it. If it's 2 batteries put together, as long as it does the job, I'm good.
So as we all know the more times you recharge a battery they eventually stop being able to hold a full charge. So what happens when say in 1 year the Evo 4g LTE can only hold 70% of a charge? Do you have to send it to HTC to get the battery replaced?
I could see this being a problem on thicker phones where the battery can be deeper in, but on this phone...
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LiKpHr8RLBs
The battery is a few screws away I'd be surprised if we don't see a few aftermarket batteries.
It will take way longer than a year to reduce capacity to %70 percent... for example my mac battery that is also lithium ion is 3 years old with 651 load cycles can hold %88 percent of the original capacity.
It will be fine past the two year mark I'd think. My Epic 4G's battery still still as good as new, and my Evo's battery wont be getting charged as much (because it lasts soo much longer).
What is the best way to condition the battery?
I'll just take it to Sprint and have them replace the battery. I have TEP.
I suspect you can take it to Sprint. I haven't had any issues with the battery on any my previous HTC phones. I think you'll have issues with the phone before you have issues with the battery.

Do less full charges. These are lithium batteries and they will last longer if you charge from say, 30%-50% to 100 rather then totally dead to fully charged. All the tutorials you see posted where it says fully charge, then deplete, then charge and deplete, etc don't work. Old alkaline batts used to have a memory and if you didn't do that they would eventually not charge completely. You don't have that issue nowadays.
I agree Bring battery down to a low percentage and recharge it fully.

I asked about batteries at Sprint store (repair store) 2 days ago. They said they are not taking apart the phone. They are going to replace the phone for battery issues.
I had a seidio 3500mah battery in the old evo. After about a year of use, it's capacity dropped to about 70%. The phone went from being recharged every 2 days (with a good 55-60%+ remaining) to about 20-30% remaining after 2 days.
Unless technology has improved in the current batteries, I believe we'll see similar results.

Most of us don't want to pay $60-$90 a year in case a $30 battery goes bad.
It's quite easy to take this phone apart to replace the battery. Just requires a Torx t5 bit and a small jeweler's philips. Really takes less than 5 min to disassemble and swap out the battery.

HTC EVO 4G LTE "Battery"
The battery is a 2,000mAh lithium ion battery degrades if you use it or not, so use it and which has an average of 500 charges, but rarley mentions if it's protected! In previous posts I seen various time of life pertaining to the battery and I just want to say that it all depends if your a power user or not! If the battery is not protected the battery will not be stable and can explode and or recharge up to 1200 cycles and puts out the correct voltage 3.7v protected or not and a LiFePO4 can charge up to 2000 time, but only puts out 3.2 V so I have to say this is strange knowing these devices needs the extra voltage! The only way to go is a Lithium polymer battery which puts out the correct voltage and on average can charge around a 1000 cycles and seems to have less drain on the battery compared to others! Protected batteries conversate back and fourth with the charger to maintain stability, but also counts the amount of cycles which is around 500 cycles for "safety reasons" Everything is marketing! I've been screaming about this video posted above and on the HTC Forum and they've been rejecting the reply's because they obviously want to hide this information! People spend more than this on a mp3 player than what they offer for a trade in and this is the perfect mini tablet/phone! I hope third party companies make batteries for this phone! (((A little off course, but helpful is when your old power tools battery dies "nickel cadmium" you can shock it with twice the voltage by scraping the connection with the appropriate voltage and will burn the crystals off that stops it from charging because this battery has a memory!))) HTC put out a update recently that caused a issue with battery lose for the HTC EVO 4G LTE and it's all over the forum there! funny how this all goes hand in hand! Sorry for the long message, but sometimes helpful...

The first two things I purchase with a new phone are a Zagg invisishield for that phone, and a battery/charger combo from ebay.

But, the charger also has a usb port, so you can charge your phone and battery at the same time. 11 dollars for 2 batteries and a charger is hard to beat. I hope I helped!

I got those same exact batteries and charger that came with my Amaze. They say they're 1800mAh but last the same as OEM (they also look thinner and lighter). I no longer use them because they never give accurate percentage readings and sometimes it shows a red battery icon with an exclamation mark, also the charger only charges to about 80%. I recently got an Anker for my brother's Glacier and it outlasts his OEM battery

All Li-Ion and Li-Po have a max of 4.25 volts before overcharging protection kicks on and a minimum 2.5 Volts before an under voltage protection kicks on. You can try this out on a fully charged battery or a drained battery. This voltage will fluctuate between charging points.
Makes me kinda wonder if those Gold batteries protections kick out at 2.5 but can handle a bit less since the protection is on board the battery.

As I said, if you look at the OEM battery, it says 3.8, whereas all the replacements say 3.7. That was my only point.
Here's a quick over view of my experience with this battery. So far I've been very impressed getting over 10 hours in SOT. It makes the phone about twice as thick at the bottom 2/3 but is actually quite nice to hold still and not too heavy. The actual capacity is massive I'm sure its the 6000mah they claim which is surprising considering how cheap it is relative to the other brands.
The back cover that comes with it does feel cheap and flimsy but I purchased the honeycomb case with the battery so that is not a big issue for me. My major concern with this battery is its voltage. On the battery it is printed that the Max charge voltage for the battery is 4.2V (the standard lithium ion Max voltage) but the lg g3 takes its battery up to 4.35 volts (due to modern phones using a slightly different li on chemistry). Constantly taking the battery to 4.35 volts when it is only designed for 4.2volts will significantly shorten its cycle life. For this reason I'm using an app called Battery charge limit to only charge my phone to 92% which is equivalent to around 4.2 volts.
Overall highly recommend it and the honeycomb case if you want to give your lg g3 a new lease on life and massive battery life without breaking the bank. Time will tell how long it'll hold up. Saw reviews saying after 6 months the battery swells up but hopefully by limiting how full it charged to that can be prevented.

Not only acts as awesome battery, but comes with a SUPER COMFY case (feels icky going back to the usual case, this is way more handfriendly)
It should work for D855 too;
I bought one from aliexpress which was stating 7500 mah but the SOT is still the same with original battery. I tried some apps to estimate the capacity which actually was ~3000 mah.
So I dont want to waste money again. Can you share some screenshots for your SOT? BTW the shape of the battery and back cover is the same as this one
Nah haven't got any screenshots sorry mate, my g3 died of the dreaded screen flickering and fading bug. Trying to sell my extended battery now actually. But anyway I guarantee its an extended battery was getting 6+ hrs sot when I was getting 3 before. You can also look at the Hyperion 6000mah battery pretty sure it's a clone of the mpj or the other way around. You can look for YouTube videos of people using the battery too btw. Cheers.

Sorry about your phone but PMed you about your battery...
This S8 is going to be my first sealed battery phone. I'm going to miss those days of being able to carry a spare battery and get back up 100% in 30 seconds. I'm wondering if I should get a battery case or an external battery bank?
Which one do you use and why do you prefer it? Is there anything that you don't like about it?
I've been reading that it's best to charge the sealed battery when it drops to 40% and then stop charging when it reaches 75-80%:

I think it'd be easier to do this with a battery case that has an on/off button.
just avoid discharging to 0% and when ever you can don't charge to 100%. I heard somewhere that s8 battery has better properties that last generation samsung phones and it wear out waaaay slower.
External Battery Bank.
Coz, I don't want my phone to be as thick as a brick. When the bettery is going to run out, I prefer to use the cable to connect to a power bank.
In addition , the power bank mostly have much more juice than a battery case.
I think a battery case is more convenient. I have both and I like not having to carry the phone in one pocket and the cord and bank in the other. However, having a bank allows you to charge multiples devices and last longer since it isn't made for a specific device. The bank would be more useful and the case more convenient.

hey guys we are in the 2017 era, do you really think that those batteries has some problems in being discharged to 0% and being recharged at 100%?
you will sell this phone before the battery die, this is sure
in any case I prefer the power bank way, just bought some of them.

I think a battery case would be better because you can slap it on charge up then take it off after. With a bank you have to plug in the phone and have the cord hanging around while the phone charges. Check out my boy Flossy's video:

Shout-out to White Shoes..
I usually carry an external battery pack in my backpack. Though I hardly use it. If I'm going on a weekend camping trip with my friends, I slap on a battery case.

I'm using Aukey 30000 mah battery, it's heavy and bulky but capacity is amazing, I can charge all my devices from one power bank)
I'm using the "Galaxy S8 Plus Battery Case, Wuloo Charger Case 5500 mAh Extended Backup Battery Juice Pack Rechargeable Charging Case Power Bank Cover for Samsung Galaxy S8 Plus 6.2 inch". It's pretty reliable except that the front screen is completely exposed.

I'm surprised there were more people with "battery tips" than those willing to reaffirm this statement. As long as you're using reliable chargers and/or charging cases and not regularly in 110+ degree weather, you really don't need to overthink things when it comes to insuring the longevity of the Li-Ion batteries Samsung uses.
As for the base question, I agree with...everybody, and say both.
The S8 is not a small phone to begin with. Without a case it barely fits in the back pocket of most of my jeans at least a bit, and creates a clear rectangular outline in all but my loosest of jeans that just looks...awkward. I don't like big phones for every day use as much as most people seem to, but if I'm dressed semi-nicely and going out for the evening I'm fine with the way it looks and feels in my back pocket.
There is NO battery case that exists where that would still be true, I mean, as others have said, the phone becomes a brick. For regular use outside the house, battery cases just look and feel awkward. I've now owned three, including the insanely overpriced Mophie option sold at Best Buy (it was a gift, don't waste the money) and when doing work around the house they're great for heavy use through a full day, whereas I usually have to plug it in fairly early into the evening when running on the internal battery alone.
For every day use, outside the house, I always carry a messenger bag with a QC 2.0 compatible battery pack. Considering the fact that most battery cases are bulky enough to warrant carrying them in a bag, it just makes more sense to me to carry a 18650 cell based battery pack with a far greater capacity (even on the low end) than any case is going to have, and when in use, or if I want to put my bag down for a while, I can just unplug and use my semi-normal sized phone, or carry it less awkwardly in my pocket for a while.
Especially with QC 2.0 being so...quick, I'd say a battery pack is far preferable for most people in almost every case, but battery cases do have their place here and there. If I need something really compact I personally go with the Anker PowerCore Speed 10000 (36Wh), but I usually end up carrying one RavPower or Anker's larger packs that can use QuickCharge to charge the S8 as well as the battery pack itself. Its not as notable if you're only draining the battery pack every few days and charging it overnight, but for my purposes, often on the road, camping, and hiking, being able to have a 72-80Wh pack charged in less than half the time has been a huge convenience.
I'm using this one.....
Plus 1 for power bank
Battery pack
I'm using a battery pack, usually when I'm out long enough to empty the battery I bring my backpack which has a usb port on it
