Hello all,
I just bought the 1350 mAh battery from Amazon, but when I opened it I got a little concerned: The battery is half the size in length, and a bit thicker than the original. Moreover, it is a bit wider, making me wonder whether it can fit inside the battery compartment. My most serious concern though, is whether it works properly with the TD2, or it might cause any harm.
Has anybody here tried it? Any feedback?
if it is smaller then it is not for d2.
I see . So it seems I am the only one who bought this and got conned?
The only battery I found on Amazon is for the Diamond, not for the Diamond 2.
I had a Diamond before and the battery does not fit at all in the Diamond 2.
Maybe you can send it back and get your money back.
This the battery I bought:
http://www.amazon.co.uk/exec/obidos/ASIN/B002AANPYG/ref=ox_ya_oh_product
As you can see, it states clearly that it is a TD2 battery. My problem is that I cannot return it to them without proof that it is improper, and I am not even sure about this (since I have not tested it, and I am afraid to do so) at the moment...

It seems that Anfield800 has buy the same battery as you, you should contact him to check if it is working (and if he indeed have received the same battery, maybe yours is a mistake. Just sending HxWxL and the markings/serial numbers of the battery you have received should be enough to be sure you have received the same).
I am very interested in how things will turn out, I was considering buying the same battery...

No, it states clearly that it is a D2-battery.
You did not read the text well.
I wish you good luck getting a refund.

I posted a question to that thread, asking Anfield800 about it... I also notified the seller, and he said there must be some mistake, and he will dispatch it again... Let's see...
I will keep you guys posted, anyway.
SOLVED! It seems the guy had sent me the wrong battery... I just got the correct one now, and everything is fine!

Can you tell how the new battery compare to the stock one? Increased battery life? Faster/slower charging? Fit the same?
Thanks!
Fit is identical to the original. When I bought it is was half-charged, so I cannot compare charging time yet... Regarding battery life, the first impressions confirm that it does seem to last longer.
Great.. do keep us posted abt the battery.
Extra 240mAh at the same size at that price seems very tempting..
Thanks!

any pictures with this battery installed??
Does anyone know what is the normal charging time for a 1350mAh battery? I noticed that it needs a couple of hours... Is this normal? Does the fact that it is still new has anything to do with it?
I also noticed that the battery percentage gets up to 99% instead of 100%... Is this of any significance?
A couple of hours seems normal, it depends a little bit on your charger (faster with the htc one than charging from your laptop for example), and also if u sue your device when charging (then it is slower), or even the room temperature.
99% seems strange though, with my original battery, I always reach 100% eventually...and I suspect it goes a little higher than that: the time to go from 100% to 99% is much much longer than for going from 99% to 98% ;-)
Well, it does stay at 99% even if I leave it the whole night charging with the HTC charger...
Maybe it's a bug of the battery icon? I am using the one suggested in this forum, that has percentages and different colors.
Can you post some photos of the battery jcan? It looks idential on ebay uk to this one :

Hi everybody. I have a little question; I'm looking for an extended battery for my T-Mobile HTC Touch Pro2. I had some Chinese crap for a while, but it started to completely die on me. At first I went two days on a single charge and do some mad texting and browsing the internet a few times a day for 20-some minute periods. Now, this battery lasts me half of the day just to have the phone on Stand By.
I have a cover identical to this one; mien is not sold anymore http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=300432340749&ssPageName=STRK:MEWAX:IT
Now, I really need a new battery for my T-Mobile HTC Touch Pro2, but I also don't want to spend more than $40 with shipping, on it. Any help?? Thank You Guys For Your Help!!
Addition: I want something above 3200 mAh
I haven't seen anything of such a capacity. But you can obtain the item# 180463578660 from ebay.com (sorry I'm not allowed to post links), try it and let us know whether it's a crap, too

Thanx!! As far as I can tell, this is a cheap Chinese battery. I wouldn't be surprised if it dies 1 month down the road. My battery that I have now looks just like this one, if it is not the same as this. Thank You Though!!
Anybody else??

Whoa! That's a lot of mah's. I bet a HTC battery like this one...
http://www.daydeal.com/product.php?productid=38477&cat=4592
...would last as long as a 3200mAh cheap china knock off battery.
Of course your cover may not work, and would need this one to go with the HTC battery.

Neither of above given will work with T-Mobile's HTC TP2. I called, to verify.
Any other suggestions?

I can't find any extended batteries for the GSM phones.
The only two suggestion I have, is do what I do. I have a spare OEM battery that gets charged in a cradle. I will take it with me if I fear a dead battery before I can find somewhere to charge back up. And I have one of these in my laptop bag as a redundant source for charging.

That cover won't work with the T-mobile US version. The US version has a very shallow cover, whereas all other models have a large wrap-around cover. You might be able to get the cover for the Mugen battery and use it with some other large battery.

There is only one option custom made for T-Mobile
That is the Mugen 3200, it is $79.

You need to use the "quote" button, or people won't know to which post you are responding. If you mean me, check my signature below.
If you go to NRG, use the "classic" CHT, not the 2.0; the 2.0 is still in beta and the last one I flashed was a battery hog.

[1st post] Apologies if this has already been discussed in a thread -- if so, just shut this one down...
Though I am looking forward as much as anyone else here to eventually getting my own Asus TP, I am curious about how easy/expensive it will ultimately be to replace the internal battery i.e. when the initial one wears out from continual drains and re-charges (as a follow-on to this, I am curious what treatment needs to be given to the TP battery to maximize its life span)?
One of the many selling points of the Toshiba Thrive was the user-replaceable battery (and easily-removable back panel). From what I understand, that was the *only* tablet with that feature.

You won't be able to change the battery easily. From what i looks like I guess the back is somehow glued to the screen, so I don't think removal will be a good idea
Modern batteries should not need replacement before the average user buys a new tablet, so i wouldn't worry about it.

Perhaps I plan to make this a permanent resident of my desktop or car?
Perhaps I use items far beyond the length of the average user.
OP, most of the time in cases like this there is a in-warranty replacement plan available.

Hmmm...it disturbs me to think that it might not be easy (or, worse yet, possible) to replace the battery in *any* device that I might own. Even if I myself cannot do the 'replacement', I would hope that some service center could (?). If not, I think it is crazy to 'throw away' a perfectly good device just because of the battery. I suppose one could just leave the device plugged in, but on a tablet that is very constraining
Any estimates for how long it might take to get to the 'point of frustration'? Say, heavy use for a year? 2 years? Hmmm...
Nothing is impossible, it will just need to be disassembled similar to the way the ipads are imo, modern lithium batteries should be able to easily go 2 years of heavy use with no issue.
Apple doesn't allow users to replace batteries. You must send iDevices back to the all mighty to have batteries replaced. Im sure Asus offers the same thing.

If it is a permanent location, then it should have a permanent power source, which means you wouldn't need to run off the battery while using it.
I realize that this an old thread, but I found it while googling and I just want to post a reply in case anyone else comes along.
Tech republic posted a video:

In it, you can clearly see that the Asus Transformer Prime is very parts replacement friendly. You can replace just about any of the internal pieces, as long as you can figure out how to open the case without damaging it.

Thanks for the video link! Now, I hope things are just as good -- if not better -- with the pending 'Infinity' model
honestly because the battery can last for days without a charge, it cycles much less than say a cell phone. I charge my tab about 1/4 as much as my cell phone with an extended life battery. (Granted overall the phone gets more use) but still I think you can expect at least a good 3-4 years of moderate use before even THINKING about a battery change. For someone like me who uses my tab in spurts depending on the situation I wouldn't be surprised if I have only had about 100 cycles on the battery so far and I've had it 6 months so far.
How did you glue the battery? I used double sided tape but didn't immobilize the battery. Did you use a specific type of glue?

How's your battery doing these days?
Lol, I know it's 2019, but I still have my Prime.
I am also looking for a battery replacement. I mean it is pretty much the only reason making it "old", otherwise it is still very usefull and can always be used as a photoframe if needed
Anyone have any knowledge where a replacement can be found?
I'll take the glue off and reseal it if needed.
So my Moto Z 2016 fell into the Android 8.0 Oreo upgrade cluster**** and became a victim of the famous massive battery drainage, to the point it became impossible to use without keeping it plugged to a charger. Thing is one would logically assume this is a software issue, and therefore a rollback/downgrade would be enough to solve this problem. However, after dealing with multiple software upgrades and downgrades for 2-3 days straight with and without RSDLite in every imaginable way possible, I managed to install Android 6.0 Lollipop on the phone and everything works excellently, but the battery keeps having the same issues it had the second that phone got the lovely 8.0 update.
So my questions are: is it even remotely correct to assume the update caused physical damage to the battery? Or -even if I completely reinstalled a totally different Android version- there is still some part of the phone that contains an unmodifiable chunk of software that is corruptedly managing the battery information, therefore making buying a new battery irrelevant?
I'm asking this because I decided to believe in the first question as a yes and was about to proceed to buy a new battery AND a new glue to place the screen again back to where it is, but decided to make this thread to maybe avoid buying things that could've been unnecesary. Thanks in advance.
It's time to get a new battery.
Mine is pretty much okay with Oreo update back then. But after just 1++ year usage (bought it in Sept 2017), the battery life just dropped significantly.
Replaced it, and now it working fine. Even the repair center didn't factory reset my device (I'm on Omni ROM), so it couldn't be a software issue.
I can confirm new battery will solve the problem. I had tried everything before I ordered an original battery pack (made by Lg and my phone has juice for more than a day now. (a half before)
I think fast/turbo charging also kill the battery, so now I use a 1,5/2A charger

Thank you for the quick response. I've noticed that there are many after-market batteries which have larger dimensions than the original. Do you think by just changing the battery to a new one, will solve the problem? I mean it was just effective batteries?
I think the best to replace to the original GV30. It solved the battery problem of my phone right after changing it and I'm not alone with it I guess. I had tried everything before (calibration, doze apps, etc). Nothing works if the cells of the battery are dead. It's a hardware issue

Yeap! This is the conclusion, bad cells in the battery. I also believe the problem enhanced by the turbo charger, as you said... :/ But, how to prove it... (?)
Prove? I can prove in a year
Just think about it. It's simple physics, faster thermal expansion kills cells. That's why they're said not to let discharged fully. Or whatever

Look, many customers have tried these extended batteries but noone can prove that this myth works! On the other hand, many videos and comments have uploaded on the internet and people have shared their experience: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9hRdg75PAMw
I believe that it's impossible to extend a battery capacity while the space inside the phone is very specific.
A project, though, is in progress by a member of XDA who is trying to replace GV30 to GV40 battery: https://forum.xda-developers.com/moto-z/help/replace-gv30-gv40-t3896369
You'll want a battery that's SMALLER capacity than the oem. The issue is that lithium ion batteries hate being thinned out so trying to put the 2600maH OEM battery inside this chassis is a recipe for disaster. I believe the iFixit battery is around 2400maH.
I think we'd be fine with shorter life than stock. What many are missing is consistent battery life. It's one thing to get 2hours SOT, it's another to be at 80% and have it shutdown.

Don't do it. The screen will bulge out. There is essentially 0 give inside the Moto Z chassis. If you're fine seeing into the phone, then it'll work for you. However, I'd probably opt for the iFixit kit. It's an official Moto solution, and while it might have the same problem it won't introduce a worse problem.
May batteries you find online will say "OEM" but they are often rebrands. And even if they're just 0.1mm thicker, the screen won't adhere. A proper phone replace shop ordered me a replacement battery and it was too thick. This was a year ago, and I eventually just replaced it with a $300 new Moto Z from Amazon (I had broken my screen replacing the battery myself).
I don't know the links persay, but I see there's this one from SWARK https://www.amazon.com/Replacement-Compatible-XT1650-03-XT1650-05-XT1650-01/dp/B07GQWHLH1
I haven't tried that one myself, but I'd be curious to see the thickness.
Just replacing my moto z battery with cheap (fake?) gv30 that i buy for only around $7 in my local (Indonesia) marketplace
Please look the attached picture for its (peak) performance, and this how i got those number:
- charge to 91% with 5v/1.2A charger (ASUS charger)
- watching movie for 3 hours with airplane mode and bluetooth earphone on
- sleeping with airplane mode on
- using my phone normally with wifi on and data off until the battery reach 3%
Thank you all for your answers and sharing your experiences.
Unfortunately, after buying all I needed from the USA (battery pack and 2 B7000 glue blisters shipped to Argentina) I proceeded to attempt to fix the phone. While heating up the screen to remove it, I burned all of the LCD corners and completely ruined the screen. I don't know what did I do so differently from all of the technicians in videotutorials where thay apply the exact same or even more heat on the screen and still left it intact, but there's nothing that can be done about it except buying a new screen replacement, but since we didn't want to spend much money on this phone, we just discarded it. Such a shame and disgraceful event, it still bugs me out.
Hey everyone,
I've finally decided to actively look for ways to extend my battery life, kinda fed up of the poor SoT and overnight drain.
I know there are other ROMs I can try that will improve the battery life, as well as other tips like disabling ok Google, but I was thinking more on the hardware level.
Has anyone looked for/replaced the battery on their Mi 9? I found a battery on AliExpress claiming to have the same form factor as the OEM while boasting 4650mAh
I'm incredibly sceptical of this but nevertheless, there's a small part of me itching to get it hoping it will add significant life to the device.
Any thoughts or reviews?
All those batterys are fake
Fake capacity
If it was possible to make a battery with same size of the original battery but with higher capacity why all oems doesnt make this type of batteries ?
I see iphone 5s with 4500mah capacity in the same size
That's exactly what I thought as well, but I'm not very familiar with how batteries are made etc, so I'm not sure if another company that dedicates themselves to making just batteries, later figured how to make bigger capacity in the same size.
But I tend to lean more on your same line of thought, which is why I wanted to know if anyone here had some first hand experience with these kind of claims.
Is there any good replacement batteries with the same capacity as the original one?
Does the Mi 9 Pro battery fit?
eBay has 4700 mAh extended battery cases for 29.99

hi everyone, has anyone managed to find a replacement battery or a way to improve it?
Anyone know of any US sources for a replacement battery? I'm kind of in a pickle here. My case developed a crack in it several months ago. It was just a minor cosmetic thing so it hadn't bugged me too much. Lately every time I grab my phone I hear it creaking so I decided to look for an exact replacement case. The original store I bought mine from is listed as out of stock and searching for the part number elsewhere came up with 3 stores, all out of stock. Doing searches on ebay/amazon/ailibabba didn't come up with anything. I decided to just go ahead and get my phone out of this case and stick it into the stock TPU case. Anyway, I pop open the metal frame and the glass back literally flies off. I'm shocked to see the back of my phone now 90% popped outward. Looking from the side it's becuase the battery is one giant swollen blob! Everything is working fine, I had zero clue there was anything wrong until I tried taking it out of my case now I'm kind of on a desperate hunt for a replacement battery. I don't even know how I'm going to hold my phone together beyond attempting to cram it back into my metal/glassback case.
Edit: I ended up getting a replacement battery from iFixIt and using their replacement guide. Note, their guide is for the non-transparent edition. For the transparent edition, they use P2 pentalobe(0.8mm star) screws rather than phillips #00.
after EDL and its story everything is ok except there is no fast charging available and the phone charged normaly.
the original adaptor also rattles something in it maybe it is normal. MIUI 12 12.0.2

I just ordered a replacement battery from ifixit as well. How is the battery? Are you noticing a difference from the stock battery?

Unfortunately it's way too soon for me to tell. I'm not sure I did battery calibration correctly because I replaced the battery last Wednesday, slow charged it to 100% on my slowest charger and let it continue on the slow charger for 2 hours, then unplugged it and continued to use it until it was so drained it couldn't turn on again(which to my surprise wasn't until Sunday evening). Then plugged in to that same slow charger without turning on the phone overnight. So I'm only a little over 2 days with the new battery. My SoT doesn't seem to be as good(my battery was at 65% this morning when I'm used to seeing low 70s-80s), but I might need to look back up how to do the battery calibration.
One note though, for some reason I had some difficulty getting the loud speaker realigned correctly. The connecting pins just didn't want to sit right. It took me three times taking it back apart until it worked properly. Might just be my phone but I'd be real careful with the alignment and do the whole "tightening a car tire" style turn each screw a little bit to make sure it seats flat. Again, it might just be a mfg defect with my particular phone as I didn't see anything online with anyone else having a similar problem.

Any update on the new battery? I got mine in, but debating if it will be worth it to change it or not. I appreciate the tips on replacing it.

If you are asking if I'm having a longer SoT, no. I'm not. I'm also using xiaomi.eu weekly which means I'm very used to inconsistent SoT as each week things change.
I have a transparent edition, which means rather than the phillips #00 screws you see in replacement guides I had 0.8mm star screws(P2 pentalobe).
The issue with my previous battery was it had ballooned to more than three times it's regular thickness which caused my back cover to pop off. So I don't have any advice on how to get the back off as mine had already fallen off. The funny bit is that I didn't replace the tape because I wanted to wait a few days to make sure everything was okay. My case ended up pressing the back cover tightly enough against the back that it ended up regluing itself when I took it out of the case to start retaping.
I had several issues with reassembly. My giant hands took quite awhile to get the antenna wire back on and since the replacement battery cable is a little longer than the original it took some wiggling until I was able to get the plug to be lined up to lock in. After I put it back together I tested everything and discovered the loudspeaker wasn't working. You need to screw it down like you are putting a tire on a car. Don't tighten each screw individually but go around to each one so when it's going down it's going down flat so the connection is straight(similar issue to the battery cable, if it's not exactly parallel, it doesn't connect).
I ended up doing a battery replacement. I got an original (at least it sure looks like it) and a new back cover to replace my scratched one. The install was easy, and I'm actually getting better life than the old one. Not dramatically better, but still a slight improvement.
