Does my battery stats file become "misconfigured" or uncalibrated whenever I switch batteries?
I buy extra batteries to use when i'm getting low, and I like to switch them out. All including different mAh's (1000, 1700, 3500).
If so will I lose battery life? I am trying to figure why my battery is running low, had the tiamat kernel and it was beautiful with some issues though, and now i'm running bcblend and my battery is dead after 6 hours.
Switching batteries throws calibration off.

So is there any alternative to using multiple batteries and the phone holding the ideal charge?

Try a battery calibration app for root users.. The downside is... Well... You have to be rooted. This is just a suggestion but you could also buy a 4000mAh Seidio battery.. Downside is... Your phone will be super thick.
It's your call.

Thanks, I have the battery calibration app, but I think I have to fully charge and discharge the phone to get the best results....sign. Ok, just wondering.
I've been highly tempted to get the 4000mAh battery, the extra size doesn't bother me necessarily but I love my case, and I'd have to dish out for the battery, a new case (to hold the larger phone), and then probably get a phone clip in case the phone is uncomfortable in my pocket.
I bought a 3500mAh battery off ebay for like $12, but there is no case for it =/

I usually wouldn't care about the size of my G1 and adding thickness to it for the sake of adding battery life but as of late I gotten a hold of a nice plastic cover for my G1 which also doubles as a neato belt clip (for only 10 bucks... flirtin with them T-Mobile ladies does me good ).
Thus, now adding thickness to my phone in exchange for getting rid of this hard cover/belt clip isn't a option I'm very likely to take up and last I checked up on high capacity batteries it would add sigificant thickness like a 2100mah (or was it 2400 *shrugs*). Was wondering if there's any batteries that doesn't add to overall physical size while giving me better then stock life of just 1100mAh. Thanks!!
I know how you feel, I have a sexy ass neon green hard case for my g1, make it look sick. I had the same problem and tried three different battery retailers online for an extended life battery. The one that I settled on was the Andida: check out this post. You can find the eBay seller most of the people in the thread bought it from, good seller but ships from Hong Kong so shipping takes a while. I'd solidly recommend the Andida, I've had nothing but excellent performance out of it, considerably better than the OEM battery from HTC. Some people had mixed reviews about it, but in my experience, it was an excellent purchase.
I'm also using an Andida battery I bought off of ebay for just under $10, and it works beautifully! It's a 1600mAh battery with the exact same dimensions as the stock 1150mAh battery HTC provides, giving you 40% more battery life between charges without adding any thickness to the phone. It's the highest capacity battery I've found that doesn't require you to get a deeper back cover.
I've been useing the Innocell 1400mAh battery and its worked out quite nicely.
i use the regular battery, and it works for me 2 days, with lots of use and 3g use

Not necessarily lies. Battery life is heavily dependent on your particular rom.
Hero based roms seems to suck battery like no tomorrow.
If you are running a hero based rom, try running the latest Cyanogen rom and post back results.
I get a couple of days on my Fommy 1700 regularly.

edit:
Screw it, I'm ordering one, and I'll let you all know how it does. I remember how much I loved the heft of my treo 755p... still miss that phone sometimes, but the g1 does all the things that I loved it for and more, all it needs is the gigantic battery life, and now it may have it.

I considered this, until I realized all the hardware that I'd need to drop the voltage from 12 to 3.7 efficiently....
The reason why i bought this battery is because i wanted to end my work shift with at least 20-30 percent(on a single battery) f obattery left to make phone call if needed, extend my phone usage away from a charger and longer web searching and the Andida 2000mAh didn't help at all. The result
OEM Battery 1500mAh: listening to music from 4 to 1am = 10% battery life left
Andida 2000mAh: ran 3 test each time my phone ended up dying around 11:30-12:00 this battery is not 2000mAh it somewhere around 1100-1300 it make an good back up battery but not an good extended battery.
I well be running some more test, like how long it last on 3G compared to the OEM battery but as of now i see theres no need to.
If you need an extra battery this is worth the money, but if you need an extended battery its not.
I got mine about 2 weeks ago. Haven't seen anything Earth-shattering as far as performance under normal use, but I watched a 2 and half hour movie on the device yesterday and it only went down to 50%.

i listen to alot of music etc etc daily when im at work so that when i would be able to see if its really a big change. I always end the night with about 10 percent of battery life.
Not terrible
I'm using a pair of these, with an external charger. I don't see that they provide a lot of advantage over the original HTC 1500Ma battery that came with my TP2, but they are an acceptable substitute.
One thing to keep in mind - I think they are heavier than the stock batteries. They are advertised as LiPoly, but I think they are LiIon.

It's under $10. Even if it's only as good as the stock battery it is well worth the money considering the stock one costs about $40. Even an OEM off eBay is as much as $16.

for an extended battery it not, i was looking for extended battery life without having to switch to another battery but this battery didnt do its job 2000mAh i don't think so its at least 1100-1300 i notice my battery died faster even on normal usage compared to the OEM. I honestly had enough of it :\... about to add some MM to my TP2 and get a bigger battery.

You are using the US T-Mobile version, from what I can see in the pix you posted; the only one available is the Mugen 3200, it runs about $79. I have not considered it because it really makes the back of the phone stick out. And it is expensive.
I buyed an used Touch pro 2. so i dunno how was the OEM battery when it was new. When i replaced with this 2000 mAh it nearly double up the battery life. From my site there is full satisfaction.

Aside from the poor English in your post, there's no way a 2000mAh battery is giving you double the battery life or even close to it. It is only 33% higher capacity than the stock battery.

Well in e-bay I buy this battery http://www.ebay.com/itm/2430MAH-HIG...844826?pt=PDA_Accessories&hash=item3f1e183dda and it was quiet good for one day, after one day it was dead the battery board was dead and I replace it whit old battery board so I don't think it is real.
I think the picture says it all. Not quite sure why someone would even bother considering a battery with such almost offensively unrealistic specs.
To store more current, the battery has to be physically bigger. It's why "D" cell batteries are bigger than "A" cell batteries even though they have the same voltage output.
Think of current as water. Can you fit more water in a bucket if it's the same size as the one you have?

well they made it so thin, i think there's a little leeway for an extended battery. Not sure many would see the value in it but i'd try one out.
You have to consider the factor that the OEM battery has NFC antenna.

When you use a battery to charge another battery, you lose about 50% mah in the process. So, that 5000 mah gets cut down to only 2500 mah which your phone can actually use.

You are just pulling numbers out of your ass. I would expect around 80-90% efficiency out of one of those battery packs, which is pretty bad as is.

That is really piss poor. Did you measure the efficiency directly or just by charging your battery x times? Because 80% efficiency on the output and 80% efficiency on the charge would about explain that terrible performance.

I could charge my 2012 Nexus 7 about 1.5 times giving the 65% figure. However I did also measure the capacity strictly using the 5V output and a proper discharger giving only about ~80% efficiency. Stepping up DC isn't the most efficient thing to do.

DC-DC can be very efficient with a known load and good components. But most of these units are super cheap and usually cheap out on the switchers. Often we get around 95-99% with any of our DC-DC circuits at work.

80-90% efficiency? Dream on.
Look at the Asus TF700t specs with and without the battery dock. The battery dock charges the tablet's internal battery. Crunch those number and see how efficient it is. Also, that's allowing the typical "exaggerated fudge factor" that most manufacturer's claim when marketing battery run time specs. In real world use, most people don't get those battery run times.

IMO bulky implies thick. It's long and wide, which to me is the bigger issue on pocketability. It's thinner than a lot of phones so I don't think a slim battery case is going to make it any worse (unless you wear really tight pants).

Thanks alot, you just costs me 61 bucks!!!!
This is one thing thats bothered me about the Note 3 since I left my MAXX HD. Hopefully this'll fix my problem
I'll come back with a review of this next week !
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.

Don't all g3 models use same battery? I have the d855 and it works fine. You lose NFC and wireless charging but I didn't use em anyway.
As long as your battery is BL-53YH it fits fine
Ah yes. That one I got aswell.
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.
