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.

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.

I've ordered the non oem "2000mah" battery from ebay... since im in south america it might take a while to reach here, anyone has it? please share your thoughts!
i also buy from ebay this battery, i'm waiting from 2 week, i hope arrived quickly
Same here... I've ordered my 2000ma battery from ebay and I'm still waiting the delivery...
In our italian forum there's already some persons with this battery and from the first information that I've read they've good result.
I'll perform some test once I'll have the new battery
Hi,
I have the 2000mah battery and are very happy with it, but have read some posts from other users that claims that there is no improvement over the original. Not sure exactly how much longer stand by time I get with this battery, but it is a significant improvement from the original battery
Ordered too on 16 January on ebay, but still no arrived..
Battery
It appears to have no more power/longevity over original battery.
To me, the way to stretch battery life is to use a task killer often.
Does anyone know of a charging stand that is available for the Liquid?
I have this battery. I need to test it better but it is worse than original.
I'm going to run a more scientific test today
On the Original Battery, charged to 100%
End All with Advanced Task Manager (cept for some excluded tasks)
Turn on wifi, BT, GPS, brightness on max, using 3G
Media server App on
Swiftp on
Sygic mobile maps turned on
After the phone dies, ill record the time
Then charge up the Extended battery and do the same
So far, cycling the new battery for about a week, it seems to be about the same in capacity as the original
Tests results in
the original lasted pretty much exactly 3.5 hours
the extended lasted 3.5hrs as well
testing charge times now
sigh
have u got the rest of the tests??
mine seems like never arriving!
So really the 200 battery makes no difference?
Dissapointed was thinking of getting one
The thing that seems to drain my battery is the WIFI and web stuff
There is a thing in setup to tell you what has been using the battery but I dont know how accurate it is??
Pete
ok, after a thorough testing, what do you think??
Anybody seen results because it is getting hard to use it with this current battery life

I have sign a few posts on the battery from mugen that started that if you want a real change in life that you have to use the 3100mah battery. With out you will see almost 3x the battery life. I'm wanting to try it myself but kinda saving up pennies here and there to buy it.

I just recieved this in the mail today and am charging them as I write this. Seemed like a fair price for what I hope are quality batteries. If they last a year I'll feel like I got my money's worth.
I'll post updates on their longevity compared to the stock battery once I go through a cycle or two.

I got this as well and it's on its way. I hope to simply rotate them well enough that I get good longevity between the three (the two from this purchase and the OEM one).
i also got them they seem to work just fine
I trust that these batteries will work just as well as the OEM one...in terms of both battery life and overall longevity. Based mostly on the fact it's a US based company.
Unlike those HK ones...that sell for cheaper...but they're lucky to even hold a normal charge for like 3 months. Basically, we get what we pay for...more often than not.
I just ordered this off of Amazon. I figured for the low price it was worth the risk.
I've had them since Note Day #1 (2/17) and they are def worth the money. I just can't say how long they hold a charge, since I haven't kept track yet. My guess is that they don't last quite as long as an oem batt. But they don't seem horrendous and 2 batts and a charger to your door for about $30 is hard to not be happy with.

I had an issue with mine today...
Left a battery on the charger overnight and got up and the light showing it was still charging the next morning....Tried another battery and over 4 hours later, the same thing happened...Put another battery in there, and within an hour (battery wasn't empty), it turned blue letting me know charge was complete (and phone showed 100%).
Got another one in there now and it's been there for about 2 hours, and the light shows it's still charging.
Is there a charger out there that has a display so you can tell what's going on??

Take a look at this calculator:

The charger this comes with outputs DC4.2V~350mA~±50mA. Using the link to the calculator above, you should expect a 2600mAh battery to fully charge with this charger in about 9 HOURS!!
I'll post updates as I find out more.

That charger charges at 550MA(MAX). That should take 5.37 hours at best. Still a far cry from the 1000mA that the stock charger uses.

consider the fact that you should not drain a bettery beyond 25% or you will shorten the life of it because the work to hard and overheat beyond that so your talking about 75% of 5.37 hours = 4.0275 hours and i dont think thats a big issue unless your battery doesnt make it 4 hours and trickle charge is better on a battery??

I was under the impression (maybe mistakenly!!) that for the first few charge cycles of a battery, you wanted to fully discharge and charge it...then after that...you can you can go back to the 75% rule.
At least that's the way it is with Lithium Poly Batteries.
Am I wrong?
Please Help
I guess this thread is dead?
It would be nice to get an update from those who bought these batteries 8, 10 or 12 months ago... to see how they held up.
I've been researching Hyperion and I've found quite mixed reviews... Several places I found photos (obviously can't be truly verified) of Hyperion batteries with the labels peeled back to reveal the metal shells which appeared to be stamped/marked (presumably by the ORIGINAL manufacturer) with different product ID codes, serial #s, as well as significantly lower mAh ratings than Hyperion's outer sticker.
I'm curious if any of those who started this thread still have their batteries... How have they held up? Are they still good?
Does anyone still have one of these batteries that they're no longer using? Would you be willing to try stripping back the label to check to see what you find under it...
I do believe that there probably are some companies that actually do make good, less expensive alternatives. But the scammers need to be exposed...
This one:
http://pages.ebay.com/link/?nav=item.view&id=171470554241&alt=web
I get it, it was a long shot, but for ten dollars I figured I'd try. Like I'm sure everyone would assume, this battery does not last as long as stock. I know SOT varies by user, but with the stock LG battery, I consistently got 35 minutes SOT per 10% battery used. With the new battery, it was 26 minutes SOT per 10%battery used.
I followed the instructions of fully discharging until the phone shuts off and then charge to 100% 3 times and still no change.
It's not a bad backup, but it's also not performing like an extra 1000mAh should.
Thanks for your information. I want to buy that battery because 4000mAh but now i will search another alternative for bigger mAh.
Is there any danger in using a third party battery on the phone? I just bought a 3300ma one from NewEgg (hasn't arrived yet).
I'm curious, will larger mAh adversely affect longevity of phone hardware? I mean, is there any chance it could damage phone? For example, if I get 6000mAh battery?
Zero lemon has a battery 7000 mah lasts 4 days works perfectly
I've used it for over a year and I only need to plug in every couple of days with heavy use. Makes the phone slightly bigger but only charging it every 3 or 4 days is so worth it.
I'd never go back

Short answer is yes, I would never use a third party battery unless it was by a very well known company like Zerolemon or the like. Plus if you are buying a battery from ebay, amazon or the like and it is not from a well known company the chances are all your getting is a cheap battery with a higher number on it. Bit like my neighbour that has a Porsche 911 s with a turbo badge, just because it has a turbo badge doesn't mean it is one.
I have a really nice rc car charger and when I bought some high end batteries that were 4000mah they actually took a little more than that. I wish a had a few batteries to cycle thru to see what the capacity really was.

When I got my G5 (Verizon VS987) I also got a spare battery and charging dock as a promotional extra.
The charging dock is connected to the USB port on my PC. When I swap batteries I put the discharged one in the charging dock and remove it when the lights indicate it's fully charged. If I don't swap batteries for a few days I'll stick it back into the charging dock for the few minutes it takes to bring it back to full charge.
Now I notice one battery is swollen, as if from charging too fast or ???
It still fits into the phone with some difficulty but it does fit.
I'm wondering if I should discard it or keep using it, wondering if it can damage the phone?
Any thoughts?
Do not use the swollen battery any more. Do not toss it in regular trash either - find an authorized battery recycling operation in your area. If you can't locate one immediately, store the battery in a dry, cool spot with electrical tape over the contacts until you can dispose of it properly. Continued use may cause the battery to fail and catch fire and/or explode.
Batteries can swell due to overcharging, but also wear and tear aging with frequent full charge cycles. If you've been using the battery daily for about a year it is not uncommon for it to show such signs of wear. Failure rates are also more common with cheaper, off-brand batteries that aren't made as well to begin with. Buy a replacement battery and make sure it is OEM quality.
I've had this happen once before with a Motorola V3 battery so you see how long ago that was!
I believe it's the USB port allowing charging at a faster rate than the factory charger? Two requirements, the charge must be from a USB port and the battery must be very discharged.
The swollen battery is genuine LG, sent direct from LG, whatever quality that might be. Both the swollen Motorola batteries continued to work just fine in the V3, the LG battery works but is VERY difficult to remove and is now out of the phone forever.

It's not a problem of faster charging, but overcharging. The longer and more often a battery is charged 100% and left there, the quicker it wears out. If the battery is about a year old with daily use like this, a bit of swelling isn't unexpected.
There is no immediate threat from swelling but it is the start of failure if allowed to continue use. You surely don't want it expanding inside the phone from heat until it gets stuck and/or cause GPS, volume or other contacts to mess up by expanding the frame, etc.
Batteries aren't too expensive so order another one.
Not sure I agree, evidence seems to point to heat as the culprit since the battery wasn't charged that often.
Anyway, OEM batteries are available on eBay for under $12 and one should arrive Monday.

I guess I've been lucky, I've had very few problems. I really miss an unlocked bootloader and a rooted phone with a custom ROM but this seems to do the job other than about 90% of the "wonderful" features being stuff I don't want, don't use and would delete if the phone was rooted..
I really wanted the removable battery and the SD card, I think LG is my only option for both isn't it?
I have no idea what (or IF) my next phone will be, maybe I'll drag out my old Motorola V3 and use it? <G>
Seriously, no kidding, it's been all downhill since my BlackBerry Bold.
I bought two spares batteries, one from Ebay with the external charge case that looks genuine but the battery lasts about 20-25% less than the original battery and a second one from Aliexpress that lasts half the time of the original battery. The one from Ebay ways the same as the original, the one from Aliexpress is lighter.
On both the batteries the green heatshrink is not exactly the same color as the original one.
So I think none of those batteries you can buy from those sites will have the same capacity as a original battery from a official reseller.
The one I got seems to be OEM, I suspect the ones you got were just old, I can't imagine anyone making an aftermarket battery for such a low sales volume phone.
I believe any battery you get will be 3 - 4 years old before you get it, that may be why the one I got took almost 40 hours to reach full charge.
So far it seems it will last as long as the original but who knows?

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.

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.

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.
