Looks good, thanks for the heads up.
it's a big battery...make the phone bigger but it worth if the life of that battery it is abot 2-3 day because i charged my phone every day with te stock one
Did you see the picture on Ebay? It claims that it is the same size as the OEM battery so you DO NOT need to change the back cover. You use the OEM cover
Hi,
up to now tests showed that no alternate batteries were an improvement if they fit in the standard case. Google for the name of the battery perhaps you find something.
Are you on stock firmware? If yes a modified firmware might be a good idea. With froyo I reached more then 70 hours with low usage. The new GB roms will reach this also in a few weeks I think.

Thanks for the reply, I did install the latest 2.3.3 Wolfbreaks ROM...
1. Maybe thats why the battery life is short...
2. I did just get this phone...heavy use...may cause the short battery life.
3. My excitement for the phone is another reason battery life is short
Interesting find.
I never used the particular one you found on Ebay, but I have another regular-sized one from China claiming it has 2200mAh capacity.
I hate to burst your bubble, but I have in the past bought and tried many, many replacement batteries for SE, Moto, HTC and other handsets and not single one of them clearly exceeded the capacity of OEM ones. Sure those sellers say theirs have 2200mAh or 2300mAh compared to OEM's 1500mAh they seem a lot better, but in realty they are about the same as the OEM at best. The one I have (they advertised as 2200mAh) for my X10 seems a little bit better than OEM. The 2300mAh one on Ebay, at least, doesn't try to copy the look of OEM, and (from my experience) it usually is a good sign of they are better than self-claimed really cheap OEMs you can find everywhere in Ebay. In the end, long battery life is not a forte of android. It's not like we have symbian devices.
As far as I know, "Mugen" replacement battery seems truly better than OEMs, though I haven't tried them personally. They are not cheap, you know.

Let me know if the one you found turns out to be good, I'm always looking for a spare battery that exceeds OEMs!
Awesome incite and input!!! Thanks Hasei!!!
I think I am going to buy it...!!!
I need more battery experience!!

Symbian battery is PATHETIC. I still have My N97Mini and my N8, alongside my HTC Sensation and SE X10, all heavily tweaked [you can't even tweak symbian that much] and I'll tell you now, its pathetic. Laggy like ****, but the battery wont even last 30 hours in minor usage, and not even 4 hours in hardout. My x10 can last like 4 days in the minimal usage and 10 hours in hardout, but I still carry one extra battery around =]

Just ordered this battery for $34 USD, will post a review when tested in a couple weeks.
I think it will be a good move from my side to search for such a battery. Ebay, i'm coming!
Seriously, the phone saps away power like mad when using Wi-Fi...
guyz i would recommend not to use chinese or fake batteries.They can even blast.
I never used to play with my battery.
BEWARE!!
The stock battery is chinese, and not all that is chinese is horse dung.
(yeah, i thought that i got some fake battery myself, until i searched for the battery photos in the internet )

i've been using the 3200 mAh battery from ebay as my x10 battery for the past 2 months or so. It's really good if you don't mind the bulk, i can play psx games on my phone for about 8 hours and be left with 60% of my battery. if i don't use my phone much (just texting occasionally) it lasts about 2-4 days. So far no signs of overheating/blowing up .
(edit: used to be running on demand governor, recently switched to smartass. Battery seems to be doing even better)

is it this battery:http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/260836802...AX:IT&_trksid=p3984.m1438.l2649#ht_2817wt_905,or this 1:http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/NEW-BATTE...ultDomain_3&hash=item336850790f#ht_1315wt_905
it's a 3200 battery, i'll try pming you the link, it won't let me post it.
If it sounds too incredible, it probably is...
Give it a thought: If the manufacturer of the original batteries would be able to squeeze a few extra hundreds milliamps into the battery without risking the battery security, don't you think they would have from the beginning?
There is always one or more downsides with these "better" batteries:
1: They're fake. in fact, it's only a 1700 mAh battery with a 2200 mAh sticker on it. Placebo warning here! Those reviews from other "customers"? Problably the manufacturer themselves, or payed "customers".
2: They're bigger, so they do need a different cover. These battery claims can be true, more capacity = larger battery. Something has to give in. (In this case: Size), right?
These bigger batteries are okay, as bigger battery means more capacity. You have to give up the slim size here.
3: They removed some or all security features in order to allow "overcharging". That way they can squeeze in a few more mAh in the battery.
The risk of overheating is very real here. There have been cases where such "no security" batteries have exploded, and in some cases even catching fire... while still in the owners pocket. Ouch! That gotta hurt alot.
Here is a video on overcharging a Lithium Ion battery, but it isn't far from what can happen to a Lithium Polymer battery without the security:

A few months ago, my battery randomly suddenly started to drain about 5 times faster, I looked online for any battery replacements, and I couldn't find any that weren't from really weird sites, so I just gave it a wait, now, there's still nothing, except these, which I'm not sure about;

my 5x literally lasts only like 1-2 hours of small use, i have to bring my 10,000 mah power bank with me at all times, and its getting really annoying, I really don't want to order the batteries above, because they're kinda sketchy (3,900 mah on the first one?? unless its a different backing that you have to screw on to fit it, is this even possible?) I've looked around on a ton of forums, and haven't seen anyone talking about batteries, has nobody ever had to replace them? I find that kind of hard to believe on any phone. Does anyone know a place to buy (preferably oem, but if its a trusted company) replacement batteries for the honor 5x? thanks.
(sorry bout links, i forgot the password and dont have the email of my old xda account, so i cant post them yet)
EDIT: it seems like the battery in the honor 5x is the same as the huawei ascend g7 plus, are they the same or not?
It is safe to take it to customer service and avoid all the hussle
Does anyone has battery swolen issue. Yesterday I noticed a little bump on back of my phone. On the right side on Poco logo. When I took my phone to service center they told me it's the battery that's Swollen and needs to be replaced at 2800 Rs. Iss it safe to continue using my phone without replacement. Our should I get a replacement from local repair shopThough I am sceptical about the quality of the repair.
Anyone else had same issue?
Also will the aftermarket battery will support fast charging

Yes, swollen batteries mean that the battery needs a replacement. Try to get a good brand or original battery in the after market. There is no way that it would be costing Rs 2800.
There is no harm in using your phone with a slightly swollen battery but I won't recommend that as it might cause other hardware issues due to its deformity in the long run.

I too was shocked when I heard the price for battery replacement there is only a small buldge near poco logo nothing major . But I am fearing that it may catch fire. I have a lot of videos where batteries explode.
Get it replaced

My battery was swollen too, had to get it replaced. An aftermarket battery will cost you anywhere around ₹1000-₹1500 but it's not as reliable. I had mine replaced at the service centre for ₹2772 but it works really well now. If you can get the original one, please go for it, you won't regret it.
SAFA Mobile Battery For Xiaomi POCO F1 (I can't post the link as XDA doesn't allow me)
Get this on Flipkart! It's original. Although I feel that the price could be lesser. But, at least it's half the price at Rs 1499 and got 219 ratings with 4.5 star reviews and 6months warranty is also provided.
yes i already had that problem, after that little bump in battery your battery capacity starts to degrade to 0 capacity. i have used the battery until it's unable to work anymore. After that i purchased a battery from Amazon (Because it is very expensive in service center around 2800), and a screw driver kit, i replaced the battery myself, And the battery is original manufactured by Everup company. https://www.amazon.in/dp/B0836SP516/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_apa_i_iuhwFbQ6C51E0
I went to service center and I was asked for a waiting time of 10days. I have exams so I am waiting for this month end. Thank you guys for valuable feedback.
As I am seeing a lot of poco F1 devices are getting swollen batteries. May be due to cost cutting of the product
The original battery cost 1999.

How many of my Friends Have battery swollen issue And are using their charger on inverter supply
After the battery in my 10 month old device first showed degradation I switched from the stock 18W charger to a 10W charger that came bundled with my old Redmi Note 3. Xiaomi has definitely cut corners in order to keep prices down or its QC 3.0 as some Mi 8 owners had also reported premature battery degradation. Kernel profile reports 10% loss while Accubattery estimates battery health at 80%(originally at 93/95%). Nearly 4 year old Redmi Note 3 and Redmi 3s still have in excess of 85% battery health. I keep all my devices I keep battery charge between 40-80%. No fast charging mods or custom thermals. No gaming except a few casual ones recently. Battery temps were moderate for the most part.
Purely in my use cases I used to get 13-15 hours SoT which is down to barely 11 hours now.
Hoping to get another year out of the battery. After that will replace with genuine battery. Third-party party ones usually aren't good. Some give good bb intially but by 6 months it would have degraded a lot.
Mine After 1.5 yrs of purchase Already down to 71% And only 2800 mah backup left of 4000 mah surely battery is one of the aspects where Xiaomi has cut Corners.
Looking best online seller and manufactured for Poco F1 battery
I am also facing battery bit swollen issue my Poco F1 . I am looking best battery and its backup for the replacement . Please suggest me that best battery manufactured and online seller.
My battery was around 80-90% not swollen. "Was" because I had mainboard issues and the authorized service center didn't keep battery charged.
It died in just 2 months cause I opted to buy 2nd hand replacement board from China. You all should see the price of a brand new mainboard from Xiaomi/Poco, almost the cost of a new phone! At least they replaced my battery.

Bro get the repair done by service center. There are chances that the phone's battery will Explode on heavy usage, and I am sure that you don't want to buy a new phone for now.
Rs 2800 is good if you are replacing it at the official service center. Don't go at local repair shop, as if some other thing will happen to your phone then they will say that they were not responsible for that.
So please don't use your device much and get the replacement done.
Hi, late to the thread but i faced a similar issue with my poco f1 with swollen battery n drain, got it replaced but again new battery too has the same swollen problem and Battery drain in just one month. Could it be the motherboard or battery again?
To prolong the useful life of the battery I have resorted to bypass charging in late May. Since then only 12 battery cycles have been used in over 1.5 months! Over the previous 20 months the daily average was 1.1/day. SoT had fallen down to ~10 hours. But now no anxiety about battery drain as long as a power outlet is nearby. Thermals are better as battery doesn't charge and discharge frequently when plugged in. In my older Redmi devices wherein bypass charging worked from the very beginning the battery health is still in the 80-85% range even after 4+ years.

Most likely the battery. Was it a third-party one? Did you monitor the battery health with Accubattery or similar? The built-in battery tool might not work with unofficial ones.
Hello,
I like the 6P so much I purchased a pair of used phones. One needs a battery and I found ifixit has no intention of ordering more battery replacement kits. Regardless, since one of my 6P's continues to run without issue I need to get the other operational. If anyone knows a person that is skilled at replacing the batteries in these phones please let me know. I am very concerned about letting someone else replace the battery in view of the steps that have to be performed. Damaging the lower plastic cover and upper glass plate seem far to easy to do...
Doesn't look that bad. As long as cheap replacement panels are available don't sweat it.
It has a AMOLED display so anhydrous isopropyl alcohol can be used if needed.
If who's ever doing it has the right tools, skillset and takes their time it should be easily doable.
I've watched all the battery replacement video's I could find and I saw this post regarding an extended battery on aliexpress w/2yr warranty. I just prefer to get more acceptance of this battery before buying it.
New higher capacity battery finished the shutting down problems and gives new life
Recently I replaced the battery of my Nexus 6P that was unusable in a cabinet for a long time due to the shutting down issues. I found on Aliexpress a high capacity battery and I decided to try my luck, changed the battery and I can tell you that...
forum.xda-developers.com
I also located the original Huawei battery and neither of my 6P's exhibited the power off at moderate battery charge levels so I think I'm clear of that problem. The goal is to use one of these for XDA dev and the other for UBports dev.

Get the exact OEM replacement if possible. Forget the extra high capacity bs.
The manufacturer generally make the OEM batteries as big as they can. Some of the trade offs for a higher capacity battery the same size may be safety.
Thanks for the confirmation on this. I suspected I was on the right track with OEM. I also found the replacement plastic cover on the lower back cover if it becomes necessary to place it.
I may have found the OEM battery at aliexpress:

However, I emailed Huawei to see if I could get correct information from them before acting. I'll post the response from Huawei if I receive one.
Hey guys sorry long post ahead.
I bought my poco last 2018 and the original battery died last year 2022. I bought a replacement battery which lasted me march this year because it bloated and bought another one. My first purchase was a defective one it shuts down at 50% and bought a 2nd one and the issue is it drains fast from 100% to 80% and returns to normal drain from 70% to 20% and then shuts down. I did flash many roms and did some research but the problem still persist and i cant find any answers. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.
Note: My 2nd battery purchase was fine when i use it, After i charge it for the first time the problem happened until now. anyone experience this kind of sorcery?
Maybe your charger is the problem, try with another.
Flashing rom won't fix the issue, this could mainly be due to either a battery issue or just some software issue that's causing your battery drainage. Otherwise I'd recommend you to just check the charger as well just in-case.
Even when flashing rom you've got to remember that bloat is usually also a cause for most battery drains nowadays
Thank you guys for the suggestions. I will try another charger. Honestly my charging cable has issues though but i don't know what's the relevance of the charger and cable with the draining of the battery. Please enlighten me.
Install Better Battery Stats to check for Wakelocks, Alarms etc. What's the Deep Sleep percentage? 99% time it's the battery to blame.
UPDATE:
I change cable and charger but it persist. I installed Ampere and checked the discharged and minimum is 290ma ranging to 800ma. I think the battery is to blame.

Use 3c Battery Manager to check battery drain in the background even even the device is locked for better stats. How old is the battery?
just newly bought this month. After i installed the battery it has like 70% percent in it and i drained to to 0% then i charged it for the 1st time it reached 100% and drain fast to 80% and slowly draining like normal from 60% percent to 30% to 40%. when it reached 20% i autmatically shuts off.

Looks like battery issue. Check it for a few more days and if it's not resolved get it replaced within the warranty period. Majority of third-party batteries are utter rubbish though.
BM4E batteries here are rubbish. I think they're old stocks and not genuine. I will try to buy an asus zenphone pro max M1 battery and modify it. If its still not working then its time to replace it.

Of course not. It's better than Ampere to check idle battery drain. That's all.

Initially when Xiaomi had priced the battery exorbitantly I had flirted with the idea of modding ZP MPM1 battery but I had no experience with soldering and Asus wasn't selling the batteries separately. I wasn't particularly enthused about buying third-party MPM1 batteries of questionable quality so I was just waiting patiently.
Later I was fortunate enough to snag an official one just some months before Xiaomi India permanently discontinued all spares including the battery for F1. No advance intimation to the users at all. Just dropped all support out of the blue. Battery price had been massively cut so I was actually thinking to buy another one. For all my future devices I plan to buy a replacement battery in the 3rd year. Currently using Poco F4 which cost nearly 2.5x compared to F1 so might stock two batteries if possible.
Third-party batteries might not fare well with 18W charger. It might be better to use a 10W charger instead.

For all my future devices I plan to buy a replacement battery in the 3rd year. Currently using Poco F4 which cost nearly 2.5x compared to F1 so might stock two batteries if possible.

Lucky you. unfortunately no ones selling authentic bm4e's here even xiaomi's service center. I agree with you on buying 2 to 3 spare batteries. I will try to find authentic ZP MPM1 batteries or atleast working third party.
I do not know this particular model or battery, but a while ago, I had a smartphone that was draining the battery like crazy. The same battery with the same ROM was doing fine in another phone of the same model. So sometimes, the phone itself is the issue.
