Unfortunately, the fakes often look exactly like the real ones. I guess it's not difficult to copy the label. The only way you know for sure, is to buy it from a reputable manufacturer like LG.
.... and yes, that is a fake. The giveaway is the missing white dot next to the contacts on the top of the battery. It's a white dot that turns red if it gets wet. The really good fakes have the white dots though. They are cheap enough from the LG website to just not risk it.

Kuba, did you bought it in Warsaw from "BRICK" shop? I got exact same concerns about this battery not being genuine.

So far, I have found three ways to check if the battery is legit:
1: The white dot on the top side as mentioned previously. Many of the batteries on ebay and other other sites does not have this. If your battery has the white dot then it's a good sign.
2: Legit batteries should have tiny little holes on one of the gold-plated contacts. I think there should be somewhere around 3-4 of them on a legit battery.
3: The temperature reading on a legit battery should increase when the phone is heavily used (like playing a game) or when charging. If the temperature stays the same then this is most likely a fake battery (on my fake battery, the temperature stayed at 24 degrees even when the back of the phone felt really hot). Ampere is a good app for checking the temperature.
This is a small summary on the things I found was different from my original battery. The labels on the fake batteries are also often spot on so they can be quite hard to differentiate.

Also expect to replace them every 4-6 months. I've gone trough one of them that actually got swollen after 5 months. It swole so much that it was pushing the screen out of the frame so the backlight came trough. The bad thing is (i hope an error) that the ones from lg now are 40$. So there's that. The one that swole was 12$ from my local phone repair shop. Thank god that they are removable.

Whoa! That's scary! That is in no way normal at all and it sounds like you got a faulty battery. After going through a dozen batteries for my 2 G3s over 3 years, I never had that happen.

I just noticed that too! They were only $15 dollars for so long! What a bummer indeed. :crying: They probably increased the price due to a shrinking stock, lack of manufacturing, or too many people mass purchasing them and selling them for $30 elsewhere.

I bought a replacement battery from LG directly, turned out to be **** as well, ended up going back to the original battery. the OG battery may have lost some capacity, but at least it doesn;t make my phone reboot like crazy and suddenly lose 20% of its charge.
To the extent it;s even worth buying a new battery for a phone this old, I'd suggest NOT paying the highway robbery of $40 LG is currently charging.

i am up for a replacement too. From lg, with shipping its costing me me 38£ !! 4lg.co.uk/product.pl?pid=5148198
Any experiences with GadFull batteries? I am just scared that a non lg battery will blow up given our devices tend to get pretty hot.

I can personally recommend this:
Power Bear LG G3 replacement battery

I've been using the Tothl brand and its been legit, they claim 5000mah but its closer to the original. Can't beat the price 13$.

Cheap, seemingly legit, extended life battery

Now that I'm using Android and my phone's life has been extended, I wanted to extend its battery life too. Branded extended life batteries are really expensive at retail. Seidio and mugen both sell 3000+mah for something like $80. HTC sells a smaller 2150 for around $40.
According to batteryboss.org, HTC's 2150 battery (rhod170) is pretty much the only battery that meets its mah rating, so I went hunting for a good price on one. Found this one for $5 shipped, or $7.51 for two if you want to better your odds. Figured it was either fake or used or otherwise had issues, but I got mine in the mail and it has zero contact wear and looks the spitting image of the legit rhod170. Seller has 5 left at the time of this posting. You can easily find other batteries advertised as rhod170 for $10 shipped, but it's always anyone's guess if they're legit or not. I had to roll the dice with no idea, and I thought someone else would appreciate hearing that this particular seller shipped 2 rhod170s that very much appear to be legit. Took about 1 week to receive from NY.
You need the extended cover to go with it. The cheapest I could find was from batteries4less, which you can shave another 10% off with save10 coupon code. It does look exactly like the OEM, with both HTC and verizon branding, however my particular one bulges a little in the middle when attached, like it isn't latching as well there. It isn't really noticeable unless you're looking for it, and it could be the fault of one of the drops my phone has taken over the years. Shipped quick, maybe 3 business days.
With both battery and cover, YMMV. I won't know for a couple of days at least what the lifespan is. And I'm still looking for a program that I can use to get accurate, easy-to-compare bench information from. Suggestions on that front are welcome. My original battery 1500 mah battery has been in use nearly 24/7 for almost 2 years. I'm not sure a comparison to that would be helpful to anyone.
See (someone else's) pictures here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=578388&page=2
How much longer is the battery working?
Since my last battery was in use for almost 2 years, I'm not sure comparison to it is worth anything. Battery life was atrocious. I basically kept it perpetually plugged in with just a few hours a day away from an outlet of some sort. I had cables everywhere to keep it charged. Now I can go 2 days of moderate use without plugging it in. I'm very pleased, especially given the price.
Couple of months ago, i bought the rhod 170 from ebay, using it since than, but to be honestly, the batterylife isnt much longer than the original one.
I think i have bought a FAKE one, this one is RED ( not black like at the picture )

5usd is very cheap ( maybe too cheap ) are you sure it is orginal htc battery, and no chinese garbage?
This website had the same battery
http://www.wirelessground.com/tilt2extbatt.html
It looks like the orginal htc battery, you can also look to the video with the guy who looks like he woke up couple of seconds ago, and inmediately started making the video. The website you gave is 6 times cheaper.. isnt that a little bit
suspiciously?

I have no new information. Mine still looks real and it still gives me better battery life than my OEM 1500 ever did, even though XDAndroid isn't as battery friendly as winmo.
If you're considering grabbing one of the same, you're gambling, just a little less than if you got a similarly priced rhod170 from a seller with no positive feedback yet. You can hedge a little more by buying 2 and hoping at least one works to spec. If you want a guarantee, you'll have pay $40ish to a well-known outfit that takes returns.
The cover on the picture you posted looks very thick, thicker than you actually need.
I bought this one
http://www.ebay.com/itm/HTC-TOUCH-P...ccessories&hash=item23148ba3ce#ht_1765wt_1397
Its a high quality cover, and its smaller than the one you showed. No need to carry a ticker phone if it can be smaller . it fits the 2150 mah battery perfect
Looks the same thickness to me (though black is a slimming color), and there's no spare room in mine. Both are made by HTC, it's just the one you got was designed for the GSM while mine was CDMA.
I have ordered 2 pieces. lets see what it gives me. Do you have any information about how to use it first time ? ( fully charge ) downcharge etc..

I've read varying views on that. Lithium Ion batteries like these don't have memory effect, however, there might still be metering issues (relating your phone's ability to measure how much battery power is actually left). In android, I used a utility that wiped out past information collected on my 1500mah (don't know if there is a winmo analog) and did a full charge and full discharge right off the bat. Since then, I've kept it topped off as there is unanimous agreement that you shouldn't discharge lions often.
That's what I did, but I can't promise it's the best way. I have no inside information, that's just what I've culled from contradictory sources.
Do they also ship to the netherlands?
I couldn't tell ya, but since the particular seller I linked is out of stock of the batteries, I'm not sure it matters.
i like chichitec's slim extended battery, bought 2 of them with a wall chager for $30 a while back, 1900mAh each. One of them lasts me 2 days but I full charge at night out of habit and not wanting to be stuck without phone on 2nd day even though I only reach 60-70% after first day lol
fortunz, i see you have a rhod500, do you know if that battery works with a rhod400 as well?
---------- Post added at 07:04 PM ---------- Previous post was at 06:29 PM ----------
Correct me if I'm wrong - but after searching, it appears the answer is yes.
Would the BTE6875 be equivalent to the RHOD170?
My 2 cents
Mugen batteries are the best. They are the only extended slim batteries I have ever tried that actually live up to the name extended and outperform the stock batt. I have had 4 of their batteries for various devices and this week I just got the first for my Rhod and what a difference! Don't know why I waited so long to get one... I guess the rhod was just supposed to tie me over til WP7 came out... but now it looks like I'm trying to hold out for windows 8 (or 64bit cpu).
At any rate you can try to find a good one on Ebay for $10 and buy 4 different ones in the process, or you can do what I would recommend and spend $35 just buy Mugen.

I have bought at least a dozen batteries for cell phones from ebay, always choosing the cheapest. I never had a problem.

ZeroLemon LG G3 8500mAh Extended Battery + Rugged ZeroShock Review

Hello everyone!
First and foremost, I would like to once again thank Zerolemon for sending me yet another product to review. As the title states, it's a 8500mAh extended battery by ZeroLemon for the LG G3 that also comes with its own ZeroShock rugged case.
I only do honest reviews to help companies improve both their current and future products, but to also give an idea to others of what to expect, but also what I think about the product and how well it works.
It has been around one week now since I received the Zerolemon for LG G3 and so far i'm very impressed! It's meeting up to its expectations, both with normal and heavy uses. I'm getting more than double the battery life (compared to the original LG G3 battery) on heavy use and the phone lasts me for about two whole days in standby mode with a full charge (that means charging the phone to 100% and then leave it without touching it until the battery is fully discharged). So as of now, I can't really complain about the performance as it is doing as expected. I previously did a review on the Zerolemon for the Nexus 5 and the material that they used for the case was actually worse than the one they used for the LG G3 case. The LG G3 case has more of a soft and bendable plastic compared to the Nexus 5 version which had more of a stiff/harder plastic. The ports are much more convenient to use on the LG G3 due to the softer plastic material, on the Nexus 5 on the other hand, the plastic seems to be stiffer so the port protection plugs tend to bend back after a few uses and hardly stay back in place (I found that to be very annoying!). All the buttons work like a charm (like always, so far on all the Zerolemon products that I’ve had).
Here are the PROS and CONS about the ZeroLemon for LG G3.
PROS:
* Good grip! Almost impossible to have the phone slip out of your hand(s).
* Does a good job taking a beating! You can basically drop it without worrying that it will break. Just like they state “Double Corner Technology to reduce shock from natural drop angles”. However, it might still shatter the screen on impact since it’s glass.
* The phone lasts more than twice as long! Battery feels like a thing of the past and the least of my concern both after normal and heavy use.
* The port protection plugs are doing an amazing job due to the quality and is no longer a pain to deal with! If it takes softer plastic for better performance, then please stick with that as I’m very pleased.
CONS:
* Too thick? It doesn't feel that comfortable to walk around with and after a while it will leave a mark on my jeans. The phone is clearly sticking out on my jeans (I also have the Zerolemon for the LG G4 that I purchased which has the same problem when it comes to thickness). I do understand that the thickness is mostly because of the battery size and the way that the phone was made, but I think that we can all agree on thinner batteries that does about the same job by taking less volume and possibly more area (kind of like the Zerolemon batteries for the Samsung S6).
* Heavy. This is not Zerolemon’s fault, but it's still a CON in general. I personally wouldn't like my phone to become heavier, bigger and/or thicker just so that I can get more out of the phone. I personally hate limits and like to get as much as possible from a phone with as little weight and thickness (I would say size, but that doesn't completely apply since screen size is important).
I personally can’t wait until Zerolemon releases an extended battery for the LG G5! 
If there are any questions that you have or if there is something that you feel like I missed mentioning, then please feel free to leave a comment below.
Please support Zerolemon so that they can keep making great products for our phones as most of their products are worth it!
can you post a screenshot of SOT of your usage with this battery here.with heavy and normal usage plz
I've been using this ZeroLemon extended battery for my LG G3 for almost 6 months now and I liked it very much. Not only it extends my phone's battery life, but most especially, it resolved my G3's "rebooting" issue. After using my G3 for more than a year, I noticed that my phone reboots several times in a day. Most of the time, its when I use the camera and when I open several apps at the same time. After I changed my original LG battery to this ZeroLemon extended battery, I never encountered this same issue anymore.
However, the CONS for me when using this extended battery are the bulkiness and most importantly, you will lose your phone's NFC feature.
This product is great. I get my nfc and wireless charging back on my phone by removing the nfc and wireless charging receiver off my original case and attached it at the back of my phone. I was to purchase a receiver online but I was thinking that there might be compatiblity issues so why not use the original one. I also bought an I-ring and placed it on the bottom part of the phone (because of wireless charging) so that holding on to a bulkier phone wouldnt be much of a problem. =)
My Zerolemon's charger port flap already broke after a year.

Ive had this battery for about a year now and have to say that the battery cells are surprisingly low quality. Mine started degrading after close to 250 charge cycles and now I can barely manage 4hr SOT with this thing. When I first got it I could easily push 10Hr SOT.

After a year I'm still getting between 10 and 14 hours of SOT depending on usage. I think you just got a bad battery. Either that or something is wrong with the phone.
I had this zerolemon battery as well. I thought it might be a good idea for australia to have a long lasting battery. Problem is that my g3 refused to recognise the batterie. I always got a message after booting " no genuine batterie, will shutdown to prevent damage".
I told zerolemon about the problem (seems to be a well known problem) and i did try the "trick" to slide it in slowly with some pressure to make sure all pins got contact, but it didnt help.
Their customer support is hopeless, at least in my case. I didnt get my money back and so i left a bad rating on amazon as well.
I ended up buying a cheap heliotion batterie from aliexpress and this one works amazing, just 27a$ and 8500mah. It lasts between 3 and 4 days, medium to heavy usage.

Backplate lifted off on lower right edge

So today i noticed that my backplate lifted off.
It was in the lower right edge of the backplate, i then pried the whole plate of, because im a stupid and curious person. turned out that my battery pack was slightly bigger on the side, hence the plate of pushing.
Well my first thought was, dude its a sony not a frigging samsung!
Nevertheless i dont want a fancy battery blow of or anything, i pried out the old battery and ordered a new one, should come in wednesday. Battery is a genuine sony battery for 7€ i know our XZU is dated, but hell if i can run her a bit longer for a measly 7 bucks i damn well do that!
anyone else had problems with the battery?

Sony makes good batteries or made..they're shutting down their factories soon due to its declining revenue.
I haven't had any issues with mine. Yet. Its lifetime is a bit reduced but its well expected. Its over three years old..
My guess for this device would be due to physical stress such as the device bending. Its very easy to bend the z ultra.
Or using chargers of bad quality.
The guy in the thread I linked at the top had hes battery blow up like a football.
Thanks for the link!
Quite what i expected with the battery, if it expands it is time to replace it.
Running my backup phone right now, Dell Venue Pro, HSPA+ doesn't work, and it doesnt want to connect to any WLAN, but hey, im at least reachable..

Battery Replacement From iFixIt

Hello fellow 6t users!
This phone has served me well for a long time now. Only issue Im having now is the battery life is crap, to be expected after heavy use for a few years. I ordered a replacement battery from iFixIt for 20 bucks. I already replaced the back glass about a year ago and I've done phone repairs in the past so the process itself isn't intimidating since I have the right tools. I use to be able to get 8hrs or more of SOT, I average about 4 hours now. Checking the battery health at /sys/class/power_supply/bms/battery_health, my battery is at 76% compared to it's original state. I was planning on the op9 pro, but I had some home repairs come up that's going to put me back about 10k so I figured I'd spend 20-40 bucks on elongating the usability of my phone. I also purchased another back glass replacement in case I crack my current one during the repair. It only cost me 17 bucks on Amazon.
The point of this thread is to let anyone know in my situation if it's worth to replace the old jacked up battery in their 6t instead of shelling out cash for a new phone.
I'll update the thread when the new battery is installed and let you guys know if it's worth it!

IMO ... if your phone is still working fine (except for the battery) and you are happy with it, you will never get a better (new) device for 20,- bucks. So go for the battery replacement

Agreed! Just hoping the new battery will bring back the epic SOT I used to squeeze out of this thing.
I also recently got my battery replaced by Oneplus and I can say that the battery life is like how it was when the phone was brand new. With a similar usage pattern I'm ending the day with 30-40% battery remaining with around 6-7hrs SOT. Would definitely recommend to go for it.
I also bought a battery in ifixit and I wait for your results to make the change
I have a new battery and tools on the way for mine as well. Def worth it.

Lots of issues with the newer phones and Android 10/11... 3 strikes and a lot of dropped balls. Perhaps the latter half of this year will be better but I doubt it.
If your device serves you well and fullfills it's mission than a battery replacement is a homerun.

Ok guys sorry for the delay. I got pretty sick with Covid and then fell behind with work and life. I have installed the new battery from ifixit and charged to 100. I'll be updating the thread with results and let everyone if I know if it's worth the trouble. Honestly the whole operation took me 20 minutes if that.

Hope you're making an uneventful recovery. The smell and/or taste thing may take a few weeks or months to return to normal. Don't rush it for the first week or whatever it takes after you're feeling better. The body has tremendous healing capacity if you give it the rest it needs
Yeah I think that was a bit $teep.
It was $67 plus a C port PCB (which I haven't yet recieved) for my Note 10+.
I saw how hard it was to replace the 10+'s battery. It's rated as one of the more difficult... meh. I wasn't impressed.
I can do it better myself... so next time I will.
The goofball didn't use a ESD strap or pad.
So far no failures but ESD doesn't kill on the spot many times.
You need the right tools mostly drivers and plastic picks, fine tweezers (about $30), the two sided adhesive seals, anhydrous isopropyl alcohol with needle applicator and a heat gun.
I've done a lot of electronic assembly including replacing LCDs in two Canon pro cams which are more intense to repair.
If you have no ESD mat & strap do it on a smooth bare wood surface with a room RH of 50-75% (simply boil some water to raise it). The more clean room like the better.
If you have steady hands, don't rush getting the rear cover off, pay close attention, understand how to undo/connect the microconnectors, and slowly, carefully pry the battery out using a small amount of isopropyl alcohol as needed it's no big deal. You need to keep track of the screws which maybe different sizes and reassembly exactly as disassembled The screws need very little torque to tighten... don't strip em.
If you have never done anything like this and are all thumbs you could get in over your head.
Otherwise just do it... watch a few vids of others to get a feel for it and gauge if it's within your capabilities. Back panel are generally cheap if you crack a glass one. However don't screw up removing the battery as it usually rests directly on the display, easy does it right.
Get the product seals for that model whenever possible, maybe an extra set just in case. Otherwise you need that exact thickness double sided specialty tape.
It's not as bad as it may sound but the details matter.
Yeah I did this repair without the proper electronic tweezers, I used regular tweezers lol. I've replaced the backglass before this mod so I was experienced in taking it off. So far the battery life is better, bit to be honest it's not great. We'll see how it goes.
