looking to buy a larger capacity battery for 8525.
been looking at this one:
http://sfplanet.com/product/PDAB011?meta=FRG
any other suggestions?
is it a good idea? are there batteries with even LARGER capacities... i want to avoid some of the drainage issues that plague the 8525.
thanks...
I have that same battery. I can't tell that it lasts a whole lot longer. It seems to be a little thicker than the OEM battery and the cover doesn't fit completely flat. It's nice to have the spare battery anyway.
any suggestions on some cradles?
I can't help you on the cradles. I don't have one of those. I'm still using the basic sync cables.
Hi Cap battery
I bought this one. It lasts greater than twice as long as stock. It is THICKer so it increases the profile of your phone, if that's an issue.

I am running on a 2800mAh battery which is really made of high quality! Even the battery door fits exactly and does not move at all! I bought before extended batteries from the same seller for my MDA which were also excellent! Here a link (the auction will be over in 26 minutes but he has more! )

Not sure to what you're referring to but you even can buy the original OEM standard battery for less than $5.00 on eBay!
I got my 2800mAh battery for 9.99 - I was the only one bidder and it it works great! Even battery status works properly in the device!
You sure can throw money away by walking in to a Cingular store and pay $40.00 + tax or you go the smarter way and order online! Your choice!

Have U try'd this battery? and what do U think it should cost?
I posted my review of the 3000mAh battery in this thread including a link to the ebay auction that I bought it from. He has an ebay store as well.

How can you prove its really oem and not another labeled battery, ebay is trash these days plus dont forget to add your $20-30 dollar shipping charge on there
Well, how can you be sure that your Cingular store has OEM products and did not get scammed by another chinese suplier?
Next question is: does OEM still exist? In this days manufacturer do not produce their own stuff anymore, they go around shopping and getting the stuff from the cheapiest supplier! OEM (Original Equipment Manufacturer) really needs a new definition!
All the stuff is made in chaina anyway, and believe me: lots of the 'OEM' even in stores is not even close 'being OEM'. As example Cingular leather cases have never heard of HTC ...
If you think you got scammed on eBay with non-oem products you can file a claim! However, 1500mAh and above batteries are not OEM because of HTC never 'released' them for the Tytn, so, we are discussing in this thread non-OEM products and not OEM
Hi
i'm also in the market for a new battery
wondering if anyone here has managed to change the battery and also have any sort of battery meter show a 'half percentage'. by that i mean like, 61%, 62%, 63% and so on, and not as 60% 70% as is the case with my phone!
my phone only shows the battery level in 10% increments and its driving me up the wall!
i was also looking at a 'same size' 1500mah battery from a mildly reputable seller, can anyone reccoment one?
with thanks,
duke.

Sorry, the 10-percentage rate is all you will get with the HERMES!
so is there absolutely no way to get 1% increments on the hermes?! is this dependent on the battery or is it a phone thing?
The next best thing is a min timer for the battery, it goes by your current usage and estimates the time remaining on your battery down to the last min. I will try to find the link to the program, but IIRC it was part of GPRS monitor.
Found the link http://www.spbsoftwarehouse.com/products/gprsmonitor/?en
The Kaiser battery version show the exact %...wonder if anyone can hack that one to work on hermes?
Check it...... $9.99/ea. for now......

Get 'em while they're hot!
EDIT****
Turns out it's an error on the moto store website.
Electrify....
If you have the Electrify, this is the OEM battery: Battery Notice the 3.8v... Standard for the Electrify... Also $9.99
It's interesting you mention the voltage. My Photon came with the 3.8v out of the box. Shortly after I bought the phone from Sprint, I ordered the spare battery/charger from Motorola online. That too was a 3.8v battery. Now the linked battery above *says* it's 3.7v......we'll see. I'm gonna order it along with a spare back cover today. I'll post again after I receive it.
Either way, I wouldn't think 1/10th of a volt matters.
EDIT******
Turns out the listed "battery" is actually the battery *door* It's just a screwup on their website.
3.8v
The 3.8v stock ones do last longer then the 3.7v. I have two of them, a 1700 &1860, and neither last as long as my stock ones.
Standard Battery Door for MOTOROLA PHOTON™ 4G
I'm confused as to why the description on the checkout reads Standard Battery Door for the Photon.
My mistake. I just read the post above.

These are 3.8v... I bought the the 2 I have from this seller... I always buy different batteries to see which works best. These are the best in the non-extended battery types. I didn't try the extended ones because it would make it larger..
When I charge my phone, and when fully charged, "battery percentage" app shows 4.351v (back of battery shows 3.8v), on my LG Optimus S, its 4.2v - both stock batteries

Bookmarked for future reference. I recently ordered a set from Amazon, but this is a better deal. Thanks

Let everyone know how they work
If anyones just wanting the OEM battery, call up or get on Motos tech chat and tell them you have a faulty battery or are getting horrible battery life, they mail it out no questions asked. Took me under 5 minutes to do and got mine in mail week or two later.

I'll add that I had placed an order for two of the $10 "batteries" identified by OP, only to realize later that it was a website issue. Called up Motorola to cancel the order and, although it took some time on their end to figure out what was going on, they came back and told me they'd just send me two batteries for free, for my trouble (and that I could also keep the two battery doors if they ever came). Great customer service!

These are not OEM
Remember OEM is 3.8v.. These knock-off's are 3.7v....
I've found the EF6X battery on MOTO's website,rated @1860mv, & states that it is compatible w/the PHOTON & DROID3.
Can anyone verify this?

If it's from Motorola website, then you should have no problems with it.
I bought two of these type of batteries. Unlike the clone ones for my EVO (which were excellent) - these are cheap Chinese turds. Max one hour life.
Mind you, I was in a pinch when traveling and they were helpful.

w0lf215, thank you for the information!
I contacted motorola through chat and was told, "Motorola accessories have a standard one year warranty barring any physical or liquid damage from the date of purchase. We can send you a replacement for the battery for free."
Battery is on the way!
Real OEM batteries. Yes a little expensive at 27.99, but a lot cheaper than straight from moto.

I have contacted Anker about getting a couple of batteries at a lower price and was told that they will give me a discount, what happened is the rep quoted me a discount price that is higher by $5 than their amazon store and for the battery charger i have asked, they provided me with an old battery charger (71UN42V06-WUCA) that cannot charge the Note battery.
When i emailed them back I got a reply that indeed it can't charge the note 3 battery. Just imagine if i didn't do my research i would have been ripped of by them!
i had an issue with their USB hub. i contacted them and they issued me a quick refund. couldn't have asked for better customer service.
+1 for their Customer Service, it is bar none. They are the only company that offers 18 months warranty on every product their sell. We had a lot of discussions in Note 2 section of the forum about their service, lots of people chimed in to support it. Someone even misused a charger to the point where they thought it affected their phone, Anker guys actually offered to cover a repair bill for the phone (even so it wasn't their fault).
It sucks that you had a bad experience, but I would suggest contacting them again and send a link to this forum post. I'm sure they will make it right by you.
Um Anker has phenomenal customer service...
Sucks you had a bad experience but I have also been in your situation about price matching the batteries and also I ordered the wrong charger cause it wouldn't fully charge my battery (back during s4).
They resolved both issues effectively. They let me return my original purchase and repurchase the combo pack which was the same price as just one battery alone. And they made sure that I got the correct charger.
Anker is the only third party battery manufacturer that I would buy batteries from. I even bought an external Astro 12000maH charger and its excellent.

Well I use Anker batteries from quite a long time and i dont have any issue regarding the product quality, and as per regarding their customer services... I have not heard anything odd from anyone about this...and in most of the cases it is heard to be known very co operative one....So +1 for anker's customer service....
Haven't used Anker since the Captivate days, but I had 2 of their batteries. One started to swell so I contacted them and sent a pic. They replaced it with a new battery in retail packaging quickly. Don't have anything bad to say about them.
I would chalk this up to miscommunication rather than a rip off.
Emailing them for a bundled price and getting quoted a few dollars above the normal retail price and including a battery charger that doesn't charge the battery is definitely not miscommunication, at the best I will call it sloppy. Well it seems like they are efficient in cleaning up their mess when they make a mistake which is a good thing.
I use to own 4 N7000 batteries by anker and all worked well for a year before it bloats up, unfortunately I am unable to ship it back to to them overseas as my country's postal services do not allow it so I can't comment on their after service. However to add on about the batteries that I got from them, they do not seem to have a proper discharge circuit where it shuts down when there is a little battery charge left like the official Samsung battery, causing the screen on the phone to be wavy /flicker.

I use Anker batteries for my dslr and they work as good as the original. Also have batteries for my old gs2 and for both purchases they sent follow up emails to see if everything was working fine. I never had this type of positive customer service before. You should email them back they will most likely sort this out for you.

I bought two Anker batteries for my Note 2. I use my phone as a Wi-Fi hotspot, and run batteries down pretty quick.
After a lot of heavy usage, one off the two Anker batteries got fat. Anker sent two new replacements that have worked great.
Anker had great customer service in my experience.

All four of my Anker Note 2(2 replacements) started swelling. Definitely not the same quality LiPos as Samsung.
2nd to none customer service!! I ordered the Anker 6400mah extended battery and upon opening the package the back cover was all scratched up. The battery was in perfect condition. I called Anker and spoke to a rep. She told me she will ship me a new one today and expect it in about 3 business days. It arrived as she stated. I opened the package and to my surprise a whole new Anker box which included another 6400mah battery and flawless battery cover!

Anker makes the best external battery pack .
I had bad experience with Anker. I wanted to buy a couple of battery packs as gifts and contacted them to see if they can offer me discounts. I got reply from a rep and she quoted me discount price (which I found it's even higher than their amazon store). And when I received the package, it was disappointing that two of the boxes were broken. I was worried that the battery pack may be broken. I opened one of the box, and what happened is there are scratches and fingerprints around the surface. It's totally an used one. I bought it as a gift!!!!!

If your company(Anker) is so good do you have to resort to creating fake accounts to say your company is the best? Probably not. Such dishonest behaviour only says more Anker and their practices.

Lol might have been a mistake during shipping.they usually do have great customer service. They sent me an extra battery with updated battery cover when my other one had a defect for my s3. Only thing keeping me from getting their battery now is because I haven't found a case to fit their extended battery for our note 3

Even though I've had good luck with the couple of things I've bought on amazon from China, my common sense is telling me to not be so impulsive. I found someone in China that has the Samsung external battery charger even though just about everyone has it sold out for now. What are your thoughts? I an getting tired of charging the phone every day because the only battery I have is the one that came with the phone. Ordering from China, you always have the risk of being scammed. It will also take at least a week or two to get here from there. Hmm. Wait a month or two to get it twenty dollars cheaper and from a more reliable source...
Go to the play store and download DS battery saver. It works so good I bought the pro version. I have no need for a spare battery with it

I picked up a real OEM charger from a sprint corporate store last week. Buying anything from China is always a risk you'll get scammed with counterfeit hardware.

i have me632,BB9930,droid and i9500, my friend.
I searched the forums and someone posted once before about a replacement battery, but never got an actual reply. I have a moto x force in UK.
Long story cut short, I took it on a plane and it went down hill and died. Did many many tests and tweaks, definite battery.
I have searched the net and can find x-longer replacement fb55 batteries, but these are rubbish batteries I have found and only 3540 mah. I found this one in China (very dubious) but thought what the hell, my moto is a paperweight anyway.
https://m.aliexpress.com/item/32736294085.html#autostay
I am awaiting its trip very slowly around the world to find out what rubbish I have bought, but in the meantime has anyone else needed to replace their battery and if so where did they get theirs?
Oh I tried Motorola but as I unlocked my bootloader they won't repair for money as they don't touch unlocked phones. Guessed warranty was void but never realised they would not even help for money. They also won't supply batteries to the public. Their only advice was to take it to a "offline store" whatever that is...

You need to find some shop, where they sell and fix smartphones, very possible that they can do that for You way cheeper as Lenovo/Motorola. You need look around, ask friend on Facebook, etc.
Droid turbo 2 batt
search US ebay store there is one original battery available (used), with international shipping.
Sorry, don't have one
Do you have access to Google? Just Enter Turbo 2 battery - many choices. eBay, Amazon, all 3900 mah
Battery part number is FB55. When ordering off AliExpress, ePacket is your best shipping option. It's EMS priority for $5 or less, in most cases. Turkey post is a few days slower, but also very good. Standard shipping takes up to six months. A messenger has to swim those over.
I ordered a couple of these batteries from AliExpress as well. Also waiting. Some story by shippers about the holiday season doubling turnaround times. 5 days to get to Canada, then two weeks to process and deliver.
All reviews I found stated that the battery worked well. We'll see.
Hi all,
I've a Moto X Force EU xt1580 and a dead battery (phone shutting down with battery error logo when power is less than 50% and it's cold weather…)
I want to change the battery, but FB55 seems to be fore xt1581 or xt1585 models. Is it the same for xt1580 ?
Both Amazon and AliExpress dont have official battery. Is someone have experiences with Chinese batteries ? Some says that it's 4000mAh. is it real ?
Thanks all !
XT1580 (Global), XT1581 (China), and XT1585 (Verizon United States) are different versions of the same phone. They all share the same parts and accessories. You can give this one a try:
http://s.aliexpress.com/niUNjU3U?fromSns
The proper battery should give you capacities of 3550 (typical)/3760 (maximum), which is the OEM spec. I recommend avoiding any batteries that claim a higher capacity than I listed.
