Blackberry Battery replacing the original battery

For some time I have had battery problems with my VOX, in Venezuela did not get and buying it on the outside is almost impossible.
So I decided to adapt another of another brand, I tried several models and found that making an adjustment to the battery of "Blackberry" you can make it work.
The battery in question is the C-S2, is a 750 mAh battery which will reduce the operating time especially if you use the WiFi, Bluetooth or music player; but its size and internal electronics is compatible with the VOX. I have a HTC S711, Latin American version of the S710.

The adjustment of the battery is very simple, cut the reliefs found in the base and the battery will fit perfectly on the phone. If the battery is new, it is necessary charge it for at least 8 hours with the phone off.
If you want longer duration of operation of the phone, can replace the battery model for the C-M2 (900 mAh) or the C-X2 (1400 mAh).
I hope this will be helpful to anyone who like me search the original battery of this equip and not get it.

Thanks for the tip!

Please update the wiki with this useful information

The battery C-M2 and C-X2 have the same size as the C-S2

Did you try out the others as well? They are all for different devices (and in the online shops they also look different, at least the color is...).

I bought an old Dopod C500, the seller told me the battery needs replacement, but finding the battery is not an easy task so I got some info here, luckily got a CX-2 while even the shopkeeper did not know he has one,
1. CX-2 is a mm thicker than the CS-2 and hence cover can not be closed, its a tight fit so battery does not drop but a solution is required maybe to use double sided tape or something.
2. The capacity is good but the phone is unable to charge the battery and an external charger is required, I even tried using a blackberry charger to over come this, but no luck. The external charger means you need to pull out the battery and leave the phone off for a couple of hours or have two batteries to use one and charge the other.

Does anone have a desk dock other than the HTC one ?

Please let me know

Yes.
I have a £7 one from China with a battery and battery charging area at the rear.
Works very well, however the phone doesn't automatically go into dock mode, which I'm not too fussed about for what I paid for it.
Looks quite sleek as well.

Seidio also has one as well, and you don't need to take a case off to use it.

Be careful with those China, second battery ones. I had one for a Nokia and, while the front part is fine (the phone has it's own charging logic), the spare battery part is dodgy and will just keep charging as long as the battery is in which means it can overcharge and kill your battery very quickly.
Like I say, the front bit is fine so just use that and if you have a spare battery, charge it in the phone only.

I'm currently using this at work: http://www.play.com//ProductOutline.aspx?title=13518370&r=MBLS
It's amazing how readily it grips without being sticky or anything. It holds my nexus landscape on the occasions I want it to without any problems. It's a bit annoying that the charger is still a cable but it's a universal job so you can't expect it to be any different. The swappable plugs are great if you have several devices too and you can never have too many additional usb ports so thats handy too.

There're some cheaper ones without card reader. Just search "slip stand" on eBay.

I've been trying to find the one I got (I posted it here so I guess I can just search through my own posts) - hopefully it has decent charging logic, which I'm guessing by the fact that there's a little light on it that is red while charging the spare and green when it is charged....I'd assume it'd drop down to trickle at that point, but I'd have to set up an ammeter to be sure.

i would love one like this

Works fine with the N1. Not pretty but it works and it's free, you obviously still need to plug the standard usb cable in.

you do know the droid/milestone has its charging port in the side of the phone to facilitate this right?

Continuum batteries

Quick question guys. I just came from an eris to a continuum. I had three batteries for my eris and I loved it because I was always able to bring an extra with me wherever I went. Anyway, reading some of the posts in here I read somewhere that there was a battery fix for non-oem batteries. Is there some kind of a block so we can't use generic batteries from ebay?

Why don't you just get oem extended battery that way you know that you'll get the true mAh and wouldn't hadn't to carry so many batteries

Thought about it but didn't want to spend that much money when I found two batteries and a charger for $11 (obviously I am very cheap)... Not to mention I don't like that extra bulk...
Sent from my SCH-I400 using Tapatalk

I find the extra bulk to help in the terms of handling the Continuum a lot better but thats my opinion but what ever works for you I say go for it

How long does the battery (2600mAh battery) last?
I realize it depends how it's used and so forth, but just curious.
Currently I'm charging my battery throughout the day.

I can get 9hrs on normal use 6hrs on heavy use
Edit normal use for me is bluetooth streaming music to my bluetooth headphones brightness on the second level facebook and twitter updates widget updates sync updates. So you may be able to get more out of the battery if your normal usage is less than mine lol

Dang, I'm getting about 8hrs for the standard OEM battery but I tend to charge it in the afternoon before it gets to low because once I get off work, I'm running around and I can't stand having low-battery when I really need it.
A thought: Is there a charger that will charge a second battery in a cradle without having a to place it in the phone to charge it?

I'm not sure what I do once I get home is charge the battery I'm currently using and when I need to I pop the other in to charge it if it needs it

I just ordered the OEM 1500mAh battery as a spare from amazon for $21.
Didn't buy the extended battery since I've got desktop charging station and car mounting charger that fits standard size only.
Sure wish samsung would come out with a charging station like they have for other phones.

What do you mean? I know they have SCH-I400 specific docks for both car and home.

Those are the two I have. I was just saying that going to the extended battery would not allow me to connect to those products (won't fit).
I talked to samsung and they thought a charging station similiar to Fascinate Battery Charger with Stand (http://www.samsung.com/us/mobile/cell-phones-accessories/ET-CHGPKVOGSTA) would be coming out soon.

Ah ok. What about cases for the extended batts? Any word on that?

Lincoln.... has extended battery, maybe he can provide info.

It comes with the extended back to accommodate the larger battery. But as for cases for the larger battery is nonexistent as far as I looked

Here's one I've had for a long time now http://www.amazon.com/gp/aw/d/B003ZBZ64Q/ref=mp_s_a_1_2?qid=1370410020&sr=8-2&pi=SL75
This is an updated version compared to mine (a bit more power, dual USB). Since they are so similar, I'll talk about mine. It served me very well, blue indicator lights, automatically turns off if nothing is plugged in, very smooth finish.
I can't speak for how many charges it gave me since its been too long. And I can't test it now since battery capacity decreases over time, but it packs more power than the one you listed. So check it out

http://www.amazon.com/RAVPower®-Fla...qid=1370414373&sr=1-1&keywords=powerbank+7800 i got one of these a while back and have nothing but good things to say about it. although at 7800mah, they do offer 12000 versions for a bit more

thats the one I got for 24.99 was just gonna say that 24.99 vs 99.99 hmmm..... and the ravpower has a led light to use as a flashlight... so I guess I didn't think too hard about it.

Yes, 12000mAh is really worth more than 9000mAh. How long your 12000mAh hold power backup or it store the power till we use it?
Do this type of power pack has standy-by time ???

External Battery Case

I'm keeping my eye out for an external battery case. I purchased this phone because of my pure HATE of my LG G4. But, I will need a spare battery and this will be the best way to get it. If anyone sees one, will you post a link? :good:

Anyone see one of these cases yet?

I've been looking. I've asked ZeroLemon if they were making one but they didn't get back to me yet.

It's not the size that counts, it's how long it can last.

Have you thought about a small Quickcharge 2.0 external charger? There are some pretty small ones that you can keep around and get a quick charge when you need it and not have the extra bulk all the time.
I know not the most ideal situation, but may be the best alternative for now...

Thats what she said.........lol

My Anker QC2.0 charger acted funny on the 2015, 2015 is using something different. So much so that I gave it away when I sold my 2014. You want the official Motorola Turbo Charge adapter on the 2015. The new Marshmallow 6.0 update should help with battery life though.

I'd seriously consider buying an external battery case. I wouldn't use it all the time, but I know there's days where I'll go through very heavy use away from a charger. I don't like using battery packs when I can help it because they're awkward to hold while using the phone.

It would be nice if ZeroLemon makes one..

Just get a external battery with QC. 30 mins will get u 50%.

I need to invest in a quality external charger. I bought 2 12000 MAH from Amazon and my MXP killed them both. They were both rated for 2.1 amp charging but after 2 full cycles they both stop charging. Maybe I shouldn't have used a my Turbo charger to charge the external batteries... Either way, I've returned both and have been skeptical to buy any more.
I also notice that my SP3 will throw errors when I have my MXP plugged in. Basically states that my phone is pulling more power than the computer can supply.
