[Q] Experience with 3000mAh BH6X Battery? - Atrix 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

I am in search of a new battery and I came across a 3000 mAH battery that doesn't require an extended battery case. I was wondering if anyone has had experience with it:
http://www.ebay.com/itm/3-7v-BH6X-R...cement-For-Motorola-MB860-ME860-/271036164752
http://www.amazon.com/3000mAh-Rechargeable-Battery-Replacement-Motorola/dp/B008VO07AA
From reading, it seems like you have to calibrate the Atrix to understand the new battery through a couple charges and configuration changes; cool. I am wondering if anyone has had experience with THIS battery? Is it legit?

It's the same size at the standard battery
It's double the capacity
It costs $1.16
If it's too good to be true...

haha --- I know... I am less worried about the $$$ spent and more worried about not harming my phone.

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?

I had bad experience with several extended batteries from ebay. I always prefer to buy an extra regular battery instead of having an extended battery.

Battery Review. Andida T7373 2000mAh

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.

[Q] Largest battery that will fit with the standard door?

I did a search and couldn't find anything. Does anyone know what the largest size battery that will fit with the standard door is?
I too am wondering the same thing.
There is currently no other higher capacity batteries out there to worry about, so who cares?

I have no idea where you get your info but Google is your friend 100% of the time.
As far as stock door + bigger battery, I can safely assume it won't work simply due to the VERY limited room with the door on as it is with the stock battery.
1650 the mytouch 4g battery is the biggest that will fit in the standard door. Don't hold me 100% to that but that's generally what i've seen.
I'll have to check out the 1650 battery, thanks for the replies guys

Is This Cheap Battery Any Good?

Hey,
I was trawling the internet for some cheap extended batteries. (my only other experience with them was the official HTC one for the HD2).
I heard someone saying that there is a good 3500mah one going on Amazon for £11. I'm presuming he meant this as it is the first result: http://www.amazon.co.uk/Ecell-3500M...A9ZW/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1333452409&sr=8-1
After a quick search on ebay I found the same battery for £5.99! http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/3500mah-H...ltDomain_3&hash=item256aa12a8e#ht_2235wt_1024
But is it any good? Has anyone had any prior experience with unbranded batteries?
Thanks,
Louis
never go for it, no use, this are fake chinese battery, i got one for evo 4g. it was told to be 3500 but it was not even 1000 mah.

That is usually true for the batteries that sit inside the original casing, but not the extended ones?

I got this on amazon and has been doing calibration with the battery monitor widget and its calibrating out to at least 2500mah. One peculiar thing is the first 40% or so drop by very fast, but then from 50-30 percent it last a lot longer, this has been notice by another poster also. the battery door is also decent, first generation soft touch rubber coating type material and not as ugly as the Seidio door

You buy many spare batteries for the amount an original battery costs. One spare battery made in China is about € 2,50.
What the real capacity is doesn't matter, as long it does it job as spare battery, you can always order a second one.
Also would it be better to buy the 3500mah and use that as primary. or buy something like this:
http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/High-Qual...ultDomain_3&hash=item43ab4ef97d#ht_2079wt_805
And use it as a secondary battery? Which would provide the best overall battery life?

that is hard to say, because everybody usage pattern is different, but even if its only 2500mah it still comes to 50% more capacity then the stock 1700mah.
Last night charge cycle adjust it to about 2700 mah, I don't think its settle down yet, seem the more charge history the widget collect the more accurate the calibration should be.

Thats true. But, seriously i was not happy with the backup it provides. It was 50% of the oem.
as in for spare this is great. you can also try anker one, its great and cheap.
btw, it was about extended.

Guys dont trust some of these batteries. I bought a few of these similar type batteries cause they were really cheap 2 for $9.99 with charger. This has been discussed to death already. I bought another set of 3x + 1 charger. They didnt last long at all. I peeled the stickers on all of them at they were all had 1000mah stamped on it but the sticker says 1800mah. This has been pointed out here before too. It was a complete waste of time and a hassle trying to get my $ back. Seller didnt bother taking the batteries back. For the total of $20 I spent and headache I couldve just bought and anker or chichitec. Which I did. I bought 2x 1900mah anker + charger for 24.99 a while back and they have been great. Been using them for 10 months now and last slightly longer than stock. I will look for the thread so you guys can do some reading but it did get pretty lengthy. Spend the extra $5 or even $10 and dont go for these cheap batteries.
Here's the thread. Take time to read it and it may be worth your trouble later down the road.

Hello
I am hoping some company
will make a 4000mAh Extended slim battery for the Note 3
wonder who will come out 1st with it
ZeroLemon
Hyperion
Seidio
Anker

the GN3 itself is bulky already, how come you would get an extended battery for that beast?

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.
I think I'm just going to go the external battery pack route. I'll try to find a nice 2.1A model with 5000+mAh

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.

I've got a 4 x 18650 cell 2.5A output battery box off eBay and measured only about ~65% efficiency, giving aproximately 6500mah out of 10000mah. Still, really handy to have around.

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).

MPJ 6000mah extended battery

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.

I'm in Australia so don't have access to Amazon so I got it straight off their website http://www.mpjbattery.com/mpjr-6000...ile-d850-at-t-vs985-verizon-ls990-sprint.html also have the honey comb case on there. If you're in US or UK or some magical place that has amazon you can get it off there.

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.
