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.

I'm an old Vario 2 user who, weary of poor battery life, moved to Symbian for the Nokia e71. It promised a solid range of features and great battery life and I have to say it delivered - trouble is, after 3 months I still find Symbian to be a right royal pain compared to Windows Mobile! So I'm thinking about getting the Vario 2 out of mothballs again.
Now in the past I had the original HERM160 1350mah battery which lasted about a year before becoming unusably short on life. I got a 1500mah Chinese job from Morpeth Mobiles which from the start was barely any better than my year old 1350mah job. I'm not interested in making the V2 any bigger with an outsize battery so I'm wondering - is it worth getting the "official" version of a 1350mah? Expansys have them but they are expensive at £32 (http://www.expansys.com/p.aspx?i=138243). I would pay that if it gives me a good day's reasonable usage however.
I've searched the forums for comparisons, I couldn't find a definitive answer to this. Obviously there is a reason why ebay / 3rd parties' batteries are cheaper, but would I be likely to notice much difference with a £32 battery?
I do miss my Vario 2 I have to say. The e71 is great from the point of view of never having to worry about battery, but it's got nothing on the Vario from the point of view of usability. I do hope this new range of HTC handsets finally crack the battery issue.
It's just the matter of finding the right brand of 3rd party batteries. I've never bought anything from Expansys before, but I do not buy any batteries claiming to be original batteries on eBay or other auction sites because they are very often 3rd party ones made with refurbished cells and components with labels printed to look like an original battery in some no-name sweatshop.
I live in Hong Kong and I bought a handmade battery for my Hermes from this guy for about HK$120 with shipping:
http://auction1.taobao.com/auction/item_detail-null-a517868370a4fd8e45fd00f6b2fed61b.jhtml
Its battery life matches (if does not exceed) a brand new original battery, way much better than my dying original battery with only a few hours of battery life.
Cameron Sino also makes good batteries, I have used their batteries before and they work just like the original.

Interesting. Any chance to find this in another language than chinese?
Go for the Genuine one
I suggest you go for the genuine battery even if it costs a little more...
I recently had trouble with my HTC TyTN battery which was 1.5 yrs old....and changed it to a new Genuine battery and can say that it saved me from the many hassles .. It came with a 6 month replacement warranty.

I'm also interested in this. That auction's currently showing HK$80 for whatever's on the page... But my Mandarin's not so good!
Like everybody else, I'm always looking for ways to get better battery life. 80 HKD for a hand-made battery seems like a very reasonable price. Obviously with the cost of postage to the UK factored in, it goes up a bit, but I can't imagine that much given the low weight and small size.
Do you really get that good a battery life compared to other third party cells like Cameron Sinos? If so, I might have a proposition for you. (send me a PM!)
I'm ready to purchase with them for my X10HT, if you're interested in that, I will help you to post to UK.
Of course all the charge will be yours, but should be not much.
Calvin
the word genuine is a lie i this case.
Don't buy batteries from this vendor:
http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=250641711190
I bought them and get only 9hrs run time vs 30hrs with the Genuine OEM HTC battery.
I have always used the 3rd party extended battery (with 2800mAh) because I'm on the go a lot.
One died after a year use.
One died recently after 3-year use.
But other 4 are still alive and kicking.
Well just today my G1's battery just burnt out (Stock Version). I've been waiting for something like this to happen, and now I need a replacement battery, any local stores like Best Buy or RadioShack that sell replacemnt ones or Generic brands, & since my phone is covered under warranty could I just get a free replacement from T-Mobile.? Thanks In Advanced -jf

Best bet is Ebay, thats where i got all my extra batteries from because after awhile the OEM batteries start to blow. Just be careful and if its a real cheap battery, make sure you keep an eye on it.

It adds some size but it's not nearly as bad as I expected.
MY battery also died on me pretty much. How I knew was it was only giving me 10 minutes of talk time then shutting off. But yea my new battery 2300 MaH battery just came in the mail today from Hong Kong bought from ebay and so far so good.. It's really good because they say you get 2-3 days of battery life and for us G1 users, 24 hours of usage is GREAT!. I'll inform you guys how it works

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.
Ralf
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.

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 =]

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.

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)

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:

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.

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!

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.

My battery no longer seems to be charging when in the phone (even though it charges in the external battery charger), so I'm shopping around for a new battery. The official LG battery costs around £25, which seems alot. I was wondering whether anyone had tried any of the lower price 3rd party batteries which are available - e.g. this one:
http://www.dx.com/p/3600mah-li-ion-...gq-6U4hY9gKI9wIgrbQaAgDiEALw_wcB#.WXPZYojyuUk
Can anyone recommend one that has worked well for them?
I'm asking the same, I just need a spare battery ... It's expinsive to me ... 43$
Sent from my VS987 using Tapatalk
...I should add that I'm based in the UK, so am looking something that's available to UK buyers...
I use the TQTHL Technology A+ rechargeable lithium-ion battery. Model: Max G5. Its Li-ion 3.85vdc puts out 4kmAh/15.40Wh. They are blue with white cover stickers.. I did a lot of looking into which battery would seem best or if j should just go with a backup factory battery. I had the same issue with my charge port, ( saying it wasnt really ever "fast charging" unless I'd unplug the C-Cord 4 or five times and switch outlets. Their is another decent 3rd party battery, the name slips my mind as I'm sure there's more tban these two 3rd party batteries... However the TQTHL Tech battery was not only less expensive than the battery with the red tape on it... The TOTHL Tech batter is also NFC capable.
::HIGHLY IMPORTANT INFO:: ITS RECOMMENDED TO CHARGE THE TWO TQTHL TECH BATTERIES ALL THE WAY THEN INTERCHANGE FACTORY BATTERY WITH TOTHL TECH AND LET IT RUN COMPLETY OUT UNTIL THE PHONE BOOTS OFF. I READ TO DO THIS A TOTAL OF 5-10 TIMES EACH BATTERY TO GET THE MOST OUT OF THIS INEXPENSIVE AMAZING BATTERY.
I found mine on Amazon/with Prime for 12.80$ (U.S.) or something awesome like that... I got my batteries jn about a day and a half..... The factory replaceable batteries are anywhere from 11.00-29.00$ (U.S.) and that's just for one.
The changing prongs that charges the batter could be a smidge more tighter. --FACTORY BATTERY ALSO WILL charge just fine in the cradle. Does seem the 3rd party batteries have a longer charge span than the factory. Hope this helped if the other two replies weren't satisfactory\helpful

You can get two TQTHL TECH. LITHIUM-ION BATTERIES ON Amazon for about 12-14$ (U.S.). With my Prime membership it may of took three days, however it coulda just been two. That was this past March that I ordered them and they still outlast the LG BL-42D1F.
The battery Model Name is MAXG5 and has 3.85VDC (same as factory model) however, it pushes 4000mAh/15.4oWh
-Typically the LG BL-42D1F only pushes a typical 2800mAh/10.8Wh -- WITH A MINIMUM AMOUNT -- of ONLY 2700mAh/10.4Wh
Hopefully this was helpful. Please click the "helpful link" is it was.

These are the worst fake batteries and you came here to advertise.
@ OP as long as you cant find batteries from reputable manufacturers like anker or zerolemon, buy original ones (only directly from lg as there are fake ones pretending to be genuine).
Hmmmm.....
Has anyone tried the Powerbear battery? It's on Amazon for £9.99. Same capacity as the stock battery (2800mAh) but less than half the price. 2 year warranty as well. Only 3 reviews but 2 of the them were 5-star.

I'm not advertising anything.. Only thing I was doing was giving my opinion on how I unbuasedly felt about the batteriers. I also included what I was told to do to get the best out of the product I bought. And the worst ones out? And fake? Haha mine have been going strong since April... To whom this thread was rwsllu asking thequestion.... You could do what I did or what this other clown had done. I didn't see another battery that was available fort the g5 but the factory one that would last longer push more and most importantly I hadn't seen a single third party battery where the specks both match up and are NFC compatible. I did hear one bad review... This kid said he couldn't get the battery to fit the charger... Which that's funny because it slides open to keep the battery I'm place, bhr first you'd make sure rhw charging prongs would line up.... So how You like thAt for getting on here and voicing my own opinion. Which I'm allowed to have, especially if someone creates a thread asking about about a 3rd party battery... Why would I not suggest the one that has worked. Then again you must be one of those troll people thats got nothing better to do but TRY to make others feel insepie

I seriously don't care what you think is real or fake... But my TQTHL TECH batteries, like I said actually work better than the factory ones charge quick and last mkmger... Shi I'm having a hard time understanding how I've gone and marketed those inarticulate item... You didn't the same thing just left out%%5 ane one here and even said theone bag thingy if heard about them but yet I'm
So I just looked for the TQTHL batteries on Amazon.co.uk and you can't buy them individually - only in packs of two for £28. Since I don't want to spend £28 this doesn't help unfortunately. The Powerbear one looks interesting though - has anyone tried one?
On Amazon Uk, Original replacement batteries are £17 and cheap ones are £10

Had a third party battery Nohon brand but the performance was atrocious. Bought a OEM one and didn't had any problems.
Any updates on a good (available in the UK) battery for the G5?
Thanks

Here's one I can vouch for. On Amazon UK, search for B01N4NTQ98 and only buy from seller "Onogo". Don't risk getting a fake with other sellers. The price is around £7 to £10. Delivery takes about 1 week to arrive from NL. I've ordered twice from them, and the batteries have always been good.
After 1 year of usage, I'd expect the battery to power off at the 10-15% mark. Remember that the original batteries sucked too... Not much you can do about that
Now for my experience. I've had my current battery (replacement #2) for about 9 months. It powers off around the 15-20% mark. Bear in mind that I didn't care about battery health whatsoever. You probably won't be treating it as bad as I did.
Statistics from AccuBattery:
Battery health = 78%
Estimated capacity = 2,191 mAh (out of 2800 mAh)
Based on 804 sessions with 50,020% charged for 1,095,698 mAh total
Thanks for the tip, I searched on Amazon but no luck with the part number. Searching for the part number returns a genuine LG battery. I found the seller, based in Jersey? They have G5 batteries, but only 2016 genuine LG.
In the meantime, I've bought a (hopefully) genuine LG battery from eBay, seller says it's 100% new & the date in the pic shows 2018. Hopefully it'll last a few months at least.
On the plus side, at least you can change the batteries in these phones!
my g5 is going strong, plan to keep it for 3 more years if not more, where can i stock up more battery????
Not to derail the thread, but how do you guys reset the counters for the battery? (or is that necessary?)
On my Samsung S7, I had to root the phone and manually edit a file so it would charge the new battery to full capacity. (theres also an internal Samsung tool that does this)
Because this has a user replacable battery, I'm not sure ifbthats necessary here.
