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.

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.

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 =]

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:

Many of the threads discussing battery replacements in this section are dispersed and old.
However,
I'm asking for help with updated opinions/recommendations/insights please.
I have a Note 3 (5.0) N9005 - original Samsung battery, and it needs replacement.
Problem: As I have a spigen neo hybrid case, I want a battery that fits into the original note 3 cover.
I am looking for safe bets - companies whose batteries are not risky nor untested by members.
Obviously there is the option of another stock Samsung original - but are there established/safe alternatives that will give me better 'juice' than stock, but still fit in the original cover?
My thanks to any that are willing to share their advice/opinions & contribute.

I just recently bought a anker for my note 3 they are trusted and a very respected company. Look for a anker on amazon for your note 3. Yes it will fit same exact size. I use to have neo hybrid. They give you a warranty as well.

Why did you choose the anker over stock?
On the anker website - there also have customer reviews of each product. Some of the note 3 battery reviews are quite poor?
I chose anker because my brother bought one for his note 4 I already knew of anker and needed a battery, he said it was great. Reviews are hit and miss take them with a grain of salt, I've bought a power add Apollo charger and love it works flawless yet on amazon where I bought it many reviews are negative. Also companies can and do hire people for good and bad reviews. The original battery is hard to find unless you directly contact Samsung they can be rather annoying with customer service with my run ins I've had with them over chargers. Most if not all Samsung OEM for note 3 on amazon are knock offs there fake. If I'm unhappy with the battery I can still return it, they gave me and everyone a warranty, they have good packaging and they only use grade A cells, from what I've experienced and my brother I believe they are great. I hope this helps if you need more info message me anytime.
Hi,
take one of these,they are great,greater then the ones from samsung!

Anker for me long time user.
I'm interested in finding a solution that genuinely gives me an advantage over a samsung oem battery.
Is it true that no oem batteries were produced after 2014?
The manufacture date is printed on the battery. One of the things pushingme away from oem is that they will be 2-3 years old, and kept in storage for a long time.

Now, I see that you want a battery that fits the original cover, but many folks here can recommend the ZeroLemon 10 000 mAh battery. I'm using one.
Advantages:
+ comes with a dual layer TPU case with hard plastic shell;
+ you can get 2 to 3 days of extremely heavy usage, 5, if you are moderate, and a whole week with light usage (once did 6 days with 38% battery left, got tired of trying to drain it all the way and charged it, screenshots attached).
Disadvantages:
- the thing becomes really ugly, thick and heavy, you better have big pockets and strong belts. Yes, that's the only disadvantage. Well, if you change SD or SIM cards frequently, that would be a disadvantage too.
After the first calibration charges and discharges of the battery, it takes some 6 hours to charge from 0 to 100%, but 6 hours of charging for 3 days of extreme usage - that's more than a fair deal for me.
I'm in two minds. Oem vs third party.
Problem with oems are, it seems that the last production run was 2014???
Is it really the case that I'd have to purchase a two year old battery that has been in storage for that time?
First of all I checked my original battery and there is no manufacturing date that I can see, the closest I can come to date is serial number, but no idea how to decode it. Did they put manufacturing date later on?
2. if you want/need original size don't expect big capacity improvements: same size will have similar capacity give or take tolerances and chemistry need to be similar due to charging/ voltage.
3. Especially in the phone which is charged almost daily, number of cycles is more important than age. I have Li ion batteries probably almost 10 yrs old that still work, more or less.
4. There was suspicion that some OEM batt sold around were used and therefore already partially worn out.
5. If you use NFC, make sure the new battery has NFC antenna, some don't and NFC won't work there.
I bought battery called Stalion for about $10, it has NFC antenna, it holds charge as well as new OEM and if it wears out faster than OEM ( so far all's good, 6 months and counting) I'll buy new one for $10, not worth worrying about.
But if Note 6 will be as good as the rumors suggest this is all non issue in 3 months anyway.

Can you give me some more info on no. 4. his is new to me.
When I was looking for OEM batteries on Amazon (some stuff is sold by Amazon partners, not Amazon directly BTW ) some people left comments that batt. they got lasted less than old one they just replaced, some commented that they see scratches, like they were used, some said they didn't get original packaging, another commented that advertising never said those were brand new etc. etc. while others had no problem . Actually if what you said is true about OEM ending production in 2014, all those negative comments begin to make sense. At the end all those negative comments turned me off, to the point I bought off brand (Stalion) and I'm pretty happy with it.
for example here http://www.amazon.com/Samsung-Galaxy-Note-Standard-Battery/dp/B00F3583S8 22% gave 1 star, that's one in five.
I like Anker but little luck with this phone for some reason . One works and other doesn't. The Anker do have NFC. Problem with OEM is that most are fake. Have several of those and 2/3 didn't last a month.
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$

...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

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.
As title says. Is it worth it? I'm hoping to at least getting 4-5 sot with real original battery from the lg itself.
Before this i bought a battery from a random merchant with good testimonies. But the battery i got cause the phone to turn off itself while still having about 30% percentage after few months.
So should i giving a hope to this phone or buy a new phone with gigantic battery capacity?
Original batteries that you may find have all been produced some years ago, I think that would be better to buy a recently made aftermarket battery, such as VHBW or Patona. Throwing away the last flagship phone designed with a replaceable battery because you don't want to change the battery is nonsense: with 30€ you can buy two or three batteries.

I can't find available stock for both those brands you mentioned.
And also I live Indonesia, I guess I'll give a try to come to service center and see if they still have a battery stock

I suggest you do yourself/have somebody adapt the s7edge cell to the G5 circuitry. On r/LGG5 you should find all the info on this - other paths may be getting a third party G5 replacement, but be wary of inflated claims (3000 mAh is the most you can fit in the G5 OEM battery form factor.
