Hi, may I know if any neo v users bought any extra
battery for this phone?
Are there any 3rd party battery with higher capacity
available in the market?
or how much does an original one cost?
Thanks
I bought myself a solar paneled on the go phone charger. It's alot better than an extra batteries - unlimited supply of Power and at a fraction of the cost.

when you do Foti and if you find a good one PLEASE inform us!!
I just bought a standard extra battery for €8.
http://www.e-giftshop.nl/a-23524796...j-accu-ba700-voor-de-sony-xperia-ray-1500-mah
They have a picture of the original, but in the text it says "compatible with the original". I hope it's the original or similar quality. The cheapest genuine original I found was €19...
I will report back once I have it delivered. (10 days, because it's sold out )

Have anyone tried the Mugen battery?
3400mAh! 2.7 times the backup! This has got to be worth something. Cant post the link now. But head for mugen-power-batteries(dot)com.
I can't pay with credit card or PayPal. But are those on eBay genuine Sony Ericsson batteries?

3400mAh battery for neo v?
first it's definitely not genuine but the most important thing is, are they
made in China?
If so it's quite dangerous.... i dare not try. it might explode.

It's an original battery. Can't believe you have to pay €25 on Sony's site for this...
Not exactly the same looking as the included battery bu the hologram looks legit.

This happened when charging it until it won't get any more filled.
After that, unplug, turn phone off, and charge again until you hear your charger zooming (means it is full), turn on the phone and charge again for a couple of minutes, and you're ready.

Mugen is a trusted brand. My friends use it. And I'm planning to buy one for occasional use. Just in those cases I know I'm gonna be out for sometime and might need some extra juice. I already get around 24 hours, adding it might make it last around 2 days. That'd be something.

Guys please help me i want to replace my battery of x10 mini... I know it's internal but it's easy enough to get it out... But here is the deal what's the model of the battery can we find it on ebay? or can we fit any kind of battery (e.g. bst-38) and with some own patent to stuck the three cables?
I don't think you can take it out I opened the whole phone up and it seemed it was stuck on the board.. also you wont be able to use any other battery as the device would probably come up with unknown battery type..

For mini pro?
Give us some good news!
Thank you!
Yeah, sorry. I have the mini pro.
Battery is BST-38.
I've been charging the stock battery every 48 hours and it usually has 10 - 16 percent charge left. The main reason for it lasting this long is simply leaving data traffic off unless I need it (usually only turn it on to check my 3 call charges). During this 48 hour period, I have used wifi for up to 3 hours and bluetooth for up to 4 hours. Previously when I left data traffic on, I would charge the battery every 24 hours.
Got 60 hours out of it. Used wifi for 2 hours and no bluetooth.
Can I use this battery with my xperia mini?
Sorry, not familiar with the mini battery. I have read that it's not removeable. The mini pro can be inserted, removed or replaced whenever you feel like it.

Could you theoretically connect/solder a li ion battery pack on a xperia x10?
Are does anyone have some good informations about how cellphone battery's work?
Is it also possible to connect 2 cellphone battery's to on top off eachother and make a parallel connection?
Probably possible, but why would you want to?
Longer battery life i can customize the backcover also.

Everything just points to carrying a spare - that way you don't cannibalise anything, and you can either choose to stickytape it to the back of the phone for that extra-bulky feeling you're after, or put it in a bag/other pocket when you're wearing them tight jeans...
Or you could just get one of these:
http://cgi.ebay.ph/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=200585546604
$17.50 shipped gets you the battery, new cover, and a screen protector. Took about 2 weeks to get here from Singapore, but I love it.
There's tutorial about making such battery. Simply, connect two batteries in parallel: + on +, - on -, and don't connect middle terminals, these are for battery temperature. Stick batteries together and you're done!

Very true.. but the cell is alot fatter..
Wiring up 2 batteries to the same battery cache is problematic..
If i'm correct the x10 reads the amount of mA passed to the phone and uses the "rated amperage as a baseline"
Meaning that your modded battery might never make the bar..
Also battery burns hurt.. ask those poor bastards with psp 1000's that had to cut open the cell casing to hack their psp.
Correct me if i'm wrong.

Okz lol i don't have that much knowledge about battery's but thanx 4 the straight answer.
How much more battery life do you think you could get out of your x10 with your extended battery?
Well most extended batteries they try to double the capacity.
But connecting 2 batteries in parallel will work.. but can go wrong very fast.
if one of the 2 builds up a memory it may lead to severe heat and maybe even the dreaded gas purge "the battery start to leak a gas" followed by a loud pain inducing bang.
Go safe.. buy the battery.
I just don't like the look of the build quality of the last link, but it should give you alot more life.

No - don't connect them because it would double the REPORTED temperature. That means, if batteries are 27°C warm, OS would see it as 54°C.
wait a minute if a remember rightly the type of bettery used in this is a bizarre, from what i read they cant trickle charge. thats why they go from 100 to 91% and then back up if theyre left plugged in

That's how it works (and has been stated no less than 200 times in the 30 or so threads addressing the issue. You either buy original, or have to charge externally. For me, having to use a dock-charger is utter BS. I don't have the time nor desire to remove the battery from the phone to let it recharge. Carrying multiple batteries is just silly. If you're going to go through that hassle to save a couple bucks cool, or you could just carry a second OEM battery. Guess some people put a different value on things tho.
These looks like the same ones I got from amazon a while ago ($16 for 3 batteries + charger), you can see my complaint here
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1298380
The batteries are cheap and very generic, I junked one 2 days afterwards as that one with it charged to 100%, it lasted maybe 6 hours. It also charges in like an hour. The other 2 batteries, i would say that it last about 60% of the OEM, getting about 20 hours from them with about 1.5 hours of screen time. Still, its usable, but I did not find them to be as strong as the OEMs.
I hope you have better luck with yours...

additional info:
The battery needs to be charged for 10 hours the first 3 times.... I confirmed this because if I charge it for a couple of hours when I disconnect it, it automatically changes in an instant from 100 to 98%.. but after 10 hours it stays at 100% when disconnected. And also discharge it as most as posible to get a better charge...

2) Can it be charged while in the phone (no boot loops)
3) Does it actually appear to be 2300mAh or is it a lie?
I found this battery too and am really interested, but not exactly trusting of stuff like this on EBay. I'd like to know if it is legit and works well.
Did you already send them feedback? Tell then they will get negative feedback if they do not either refund your money fully or cover the replacement including shipping.

It is supposed to work with original cover it says to be slim, it may say it is 2300mAH and the only way to know if it really is, is trying it out. So I risked my self on buying it since it was cheap. I will let you guys know how it works out.

No I have not sended them feedback, but since it says it is for the AT&T model on the page, then it is their fault if it does not work out. And they will get negative feedback for sure.

Definitely give them the chance to make it right, but if that involves you having to pay a penny to fix their problem, they should get negative feedback.
Yep, bought a battery from eBay for my S2 and I cannot use it, cannot charge it, nothing. It came with 50% charge, tried to charge it overnight, but since the phone "thinks" there isn't a battery conected it will only drain it but not charge it, not via USB, not with orignal wall charger, not with Sony external CyberEnergy battery.
So the pressing question is, since I don't live in the US and my original battery is way beyond unusable (it's become fat, any CPU intense activity will shut off the phone), can you purchase original, useable, new Samsung batteries online?
Thanks.

I haven't heard of Samsung selling direct or a good place to purchase original batteries. However, I know of some really good batteries that are not cheaply made and will hold a full charge. Therefore, you wouldn't have any issues like the battery you purchased from eBay. They are Mugen batteries and I would be happy to send you the link.
Yeah of course. A Google search (I just did one & found several; you might need to order from a different country & pay whatever shipping costs though) should reveal plenty of places online that still sell genuine Samsung I9100 batteries (not Samsung though, they don't sell them direct).

I found those too! Are they only higher capacity? Believe it or not, I'd rather keep the slim profile of my phone for now. I'll perform a much thorough Google search at home tonight.
If you have that link, I'd be most thankful. Some sites are restricted at work, and strangely enough, Mugen batteries is one of those.
Thank you!

Don't want to sound *****y, but that is exactly what I don't want to do AGAIN. Just because someone writes "Original" or "Genuine" on the item's description isn't, sadly, enough for me anymore. I've got a very succesful eBay purchasing history because I do my homework.
In this particular case, I knew I was taking a risk buying from eBay, I had read that several buyers have (possibly unaware of that, since they buy bulk) copycat batteries. Since my phone isn't new and it's rooted, I figured I'd run said risk, maybe a rooted phone does not perform such a thorough battery ID. I was wrong. Live and learn.
Having learned my lesson, I don't mind paying a higher shipping cost, but making sure I will receive a battery my phone will accept and a battery that won'd damage it in the long run.

Here is the link that I would use to purchase the Mugen batteries: http://mugen.co/samsung/at-t-samsung-galaxy-s-ii-usa.html
The eBay link looked ok but this one I would trust a lot more.

I got one in retail packaging for £11.99 about 2.5 years ago. EAN barcode is 8806071517919.
i just got a cellshell battery, so far so good, although ive only charged it once (dont batteries need a few charges to optimise performance?)
