My arrive has been going strong swapping my batteries out of a charging Touch Pro2. This in result has got me 2 power cycled batteries. I haven't fully charged out of my Arrive since new. Who likes waiting for a charge? Anyone using a higher then 1500mah battery? Was looking to buying a mugen 1800mah battery from an HTC Hero for around 34 bucks. They seem to be a little cheaper for some reason. It's the same battery type as the Touch Pro2, Evo, Incredible and possibly others.
I thought about putting an Evo battery in, but I am able to get two days on a charge as is, and frankly if I ever plan to be away from home for more than one night, I pack my charger anyways.

i juz now recieved a 1800 mah battery..i got it from deal extreme..
im unable to charge the battery.the diamond refuses to charge the battery.
when i replaced the battery with the world one..(the one came with my phone a genuine one)its charging well..
im using the custom rom and the custom radio..
please any one reply ASAP.....
I had a similar problem after purchasing a high-capacity battery. At first I thought that the circuitry was refusing to recognise the battery because it was an after-market one and gave up. Clumsily, I forgot to disconnect the phone off the charger when I gave up. Came back two days later, and miraculously, the new battery was charged.
It turns out, some of the aftermarket batteries are shipped with 0% charge; whereas most branded batteries are tested before they leave the factory, leaving them with a small amount of charge. Try leaving the new dead battery on the charger for 24-48 hours.
i don't have the same problem...
ok i brought two batteries on ebay one was black 1800mAh Battery for htc EVO3D that fits on sensation but its actually 1000mah and with no use stand only 8 hours remove the cover and u can see it..... 2430MAH High Capacity Gold Battery 1st day
with charge about 8 or 9 hours it lasted 24hours with heavy use 2nd charge the next day only 8hours and the next day 7 hours only tried removing the cover but it didnt say anything lol.... any ideas on good battery
Get an OEM EVO 3D or Sensation XE battery? They are original & rated at 1730 mAh. You can find cheap EVO 3D battery on ebay.
I am curious about how the signal lead on batteries works. I have an HTC Sensation. Rather than spend $100 for the Mugen extended battery housing and battery, I got just the housing through ebay for around $20. I removed some of the plastic around the terminals and soldered the + and - ones together. Only one of the battery's signal and temperature leads are connected to the phone.
I seem to be getting decent battery life; however, the battery calibration is completely off. It wouldn't be so bad, but it's affecting how the battery is charged (maybe it isn't, and it's simply just a reflection based on the bad calibration). It seems to switch between faster charging and 100ma at random charge percentages. Reported battery temperatures shouldn't be tripping any sort of safety feature.
As far as "drain" goes, it tends to drop to around 50% within an hour off the charger. Afterwards, it tends to stay there for hours and hours before slowly dropping again. Towards the end, it stays at 1% for a couple of hours before dying.
I assumed it wouldn't be a good idea to short the signal terminals together. Am I wrong?
I'm tempted to pick up the el cheapo laza extended battery (<$20 for one with an evo 3d housing) and restore the Ankers to individual batteries.
Ain't gunna work cap. Assume the batteries are 1.5 volts. (They aren't nut for demo) get two and connect them in series and you get 3 volts
Connect them in parrelel and you get 1.5 volts but twice the amperage. Google it.
It might work but will probly burn up your phone.

When I first got my Galaxy S3 (Verizon) the OEM battery lasted at least a good 9 or 10 hours, usually plenty to last the day. But I wanted more than that so I got a pack of 2x QCell 2300mAh batteries for cheap on amazon, with one of the wall chargers that you pop the battery into. That was July of last year and I promptly lost one of the batts at school, so in May of this year I got another pack of 2 batts, this time EZOPower, 2100mAh.
Both brands worked pretty well while I had them and I would generally just start the day taking my GS3 off the charger and putting the extra battery in my pocket, and at ~8pm or so I'd switch them out and have more than enough for the rest of the day, and some for the next day if I didn't make it home for some reason that night.
But recently that time to switch has been creeping down earlier and earlier, and lately I've noticed I wake up to the battery icon showing the circle but no percentage (just switched from AOSP to Pacrom, dunno if that makes a difference) and when I take it off it's about 95%. When I switch batts, which is now at about 2 or 3pm if I wake up at 10, the second one (coming off the cheap battery-only wall charger) is at 75% or thereabouts and each lasts less than 5 hours.
Attached are my stats from the other day. I keep all my radios on all day usually but lately I've been having to selectively put it on airplane mode whenever I can afford to, if I want to have enough juice to last through the evening. This sucks. I know batteries die over time but I've literally had these ones for a few months and they're terrible already. Is it because of my hot swapping habits? Does that drive down the battery life over time, or is it something to do with how android pegs the amount of juice left on each battery? Is there a way to wipe the battery stats, or would that even help? There used to be an option for it in CWM but I looked today and I suppose it's gone. I'm not sure what I'm doing wrong but I've never had battery life this bad on any phone.
tl;dr bought a pair of non-OEM batteries with a wall charger, been hot-swapping them for more power throughout the day, but in just a few months their life is approaching nil. What am I doing wrong?
Bump. Anyone knowledgeable on this? I'm pretty sure it could apply to just about any phone and I know plenty of other people do the same thing I do with these battery pairs on Amazon so this would be useful for progeny.
Do you leave them in the charger until you need them? Usually, the longer a battery charges while it's fully charged, the more the total charge will diminish. So, the longer you keep it charging more than it needs to, the faster the battery dies out. Also, when you get a new rechargeable battery, or even a new phone or tablet with a rechargeable battery in it, the first thing you should do is use it till it's drained. Don't immediately plug it in to the charger. Keep in mind, though, that no matter what you do your batteries will diminish. Cheaply made batteries will diminish faster than higher quality ones, so that may attribute to how fast your batteries are dieing.
I could be wrong, though.
I actually do keep it on the charger long after it's charged. And I have heard that before - but don't most chargers have a built in feature that cuts off the current once the battery is fully charged?
Anyway I'm not sure that's the sole reason for the batteries being so ****ty. Although idk, I also could be wrong, lol.
Hi all,
I have heard that Anker batteries have best review as an aftermarket battery for our note 4.
My phone is almost 3 years old and I need to buy a replacement battery. Anker battery is currently out of stock in amazon. Other options are RavPower, Zerolemon, PowerBear which have 3220 mah capacity, Acevan has 3450mah capacity. Which one should I go for?
Thanks In Advance.
Personally, RavPower would be my first choice, PowerBear second.
Another vote for Ravpower
I'd normally say RAVPower as well (I have 3) but this is worth noting
Anything but Acevan
Didn't check this forum first, bought an Acevan a few months back. Was excellent until two days ago, when it started causing some serious power system issues. Phone crashed every time I turned the screen off unless it was plugged in. Ordered a new one because I have some other older issues (Sleep of Death, fixed with Partial Wake Lock, and some weird camera focus thing), but swapping the battery back to the old one let me shut my phone screen off without the phone crashing again.
