So I'm looking to get a spare battery and a separate battery charger and came across this:
http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00520BC3M/ref=ox_sc_sfl_title_2?ie=UTF8&m=AE3JA6SQN3O85
No reviews so far so I'm just wondering if anyone has any experience with Chichitec batteries in general. $30 for 2 batteries (1700 mah) and a charger seems like a good deal, that way I don't really have to spend time being plugged in. Too bad the battery door isn't as easy to open as I'd like to...
If you get them let me know how they work.

Id say run....don't walk run....away from that link.
Cheapo batteries tend to cause perm damage. A el cheapo amazon battery for my g2 bricked one phone and almlost permabricked its replacement.
G2x with faux AOSP and faux orange kernel. [email protected] 5107 quadrant.
I don't know why people insist on a spare battery to change out each time the other one dies. Not only is it not practical if you can't charge the battery outside of the phone, but you'll be putting wear and tear on the battery cover and sooner or later you'll find it won't sit tight but will be loose in it's fit. That's why I just decided to invest in the 4500mah Mugen, even though I got a free replacement stock battery from Tmobile.

Chichitec is HTCExpress, their batteries aren't as bad as the ebay "cheapies". I had their 1800 in my Dinc and then G2, worked perfectly fine.

The chichitecs come with a separate charger to charge only the spare battery. But yeah, I'm worried that if I open the battery door frequently it will get loose or break.
@GideonX
When you used the chichitecs on those phones, did they at least last as long as the stock battery? That's really all I'm looking for

I don't necessarily disagree with your reasoning, it is a matter of perspective. It is just interesting how people can look at something differently. I think swapping batteries is a much more elegant solution then adding a gigantic protrusion to my phone. And battery covers are cheap, if it comes to that.

I've tried to find the post in this forum that had the link to the battery doors. They were actually to the LG Optimus 2x and required purchase of a min of 5 doors. Many have claimed that they have received replacement doors for free, both from T-mobile store and phone representatives.
With that said I must concede that they are not readily available. And I am surprised that 3rd party colorized replacements are not being marketed.
Personally I use accessories that would not work with the oversize cover that I do not want to give up: rubberized case, leather holster, and especially the bicycle mount. I suppose I am willing to take the risk that either the door won't break or if it does I'll be able to acquire the part. By that time there probably be enough dead G2X's around to find one on eBay.
I do have an external battery that recharges the phone, I should probably use it before resorting to swapping internal batteries. It's not that much trouble to use while still using phone, just a small object dangling from the charging/usb port on the phone.
Any more reviews on the CHICHITEC batteries, positive or negative? Do they report the correct temperature?
Thanks.
I ended up getting 2 3500 and 1 stand up spare charger for 25.
If you mind the bigger backdoor I say go for that.
But then again im really safe with my phone SO i dont end up dropping it.
One of the batteries is an OEM battery... not a "cheapy" battery. Just as reliable as the stock one you have in your phone right now..?
I also notice that. I wonder why?

so I bought the 2x chichitec. I charged one and stuck it in my phone. The phone displayed 72% and 4190mV. WTF??? The voltage is believable - what piece of s/w or h/w came up with 72%? Also, the temp is stuck at the unbelievable 25.2C, which is disappointing. I haven't tried the 2nd battery, which is a different color. so, I downloaded this
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1024867
and am topping it off again, as the app recommends.
So how does the phone come up with the "n%"?
How is that other battey working???
Sent from my LG-P999 using XDA Premium App
both batteries very similar in performance as original, except no temp sensor. Charger charges slow, so it keeps the battery cool during charging. I bought these as backups for my wife, so when she gets the Screen Of Death she can swap in a fresh battery. As I've stated in other posts, if we re-boot once a day, we don't get the SOD. But I can't get her to consistently do that, so she pays about twice a month.
I do wish the temp sensor worked, because I have a profile set in setCpu for over temp, but we are just using these as backups, so...
I bought this set from Amazon because I was looking for swapping batteries for my phone and my wife's, who also has a G2x. I'm not sure if it's the methodical charge time with the charger or what, but I'm getting freakishly good battery life, with both the OEM batteries that came with the phone, and the Chichitec batteries. Light to moderate usage, I still have my Chichitec battery at 86% after being on for just shy under 7 hours, from what CM7 Spare Parts is telling me.
I'll be going to bed with the fully charged battery, and go to work with it for a majority of the next day, and swap them out around 11am, and stick the dead one on charge when I get home at 2pm, rinse, repeat. I haven't charged my phone since I bought this set.
Also, for those wondering, like myself, both of these batteries are NON-oem--just one is black like the OEM, and one is red, both of them are Chichitec batteries.

From my limited knowledge of batteries, charging slow and cool helps. Also this article discusses the charging routine can make a long term difference. It'd be interesting to KNOW if the chichitec charger is "better" for these batteries...
@tzbigworm, please re-post in a few weeks your longer-term results.

Will do. I'm charging my batteries SOLELY using the charger provided by Chichitec. I've not charged the batteries strictly through the phone, just exchange during work and later in the evening, depending on usage, of course.
Okay just to let buyers know, the evolution 3d does not last as long as the anker battery. I have both and used both for a week, I would say theres a 15% difference. If I get the chance ill do a video run down test, but my hypothesis to this is the fact that the Anker produces so much less heat. Its ridiculous how much heat comes out of the OEM batteries

You know, I was thinking exactly the same thing about the heat.
Ive seen the tests where the anker holds around 13% more charge than the htc battery, then I see posts were people get up to 30% longer use out their phone using the anker. After using the anker I can confirm the phone feels a lot cooler during heavy use. These type of batteries discharge quicker if they get too hot, so it makes sense that it should perform better than its capacity compared to the stock battery if it keeps a lot cooler.
Cheers
Agreed, I wish the OEM batteries were built from the same materials. The over heating causes the battery to burn more when doing every day tasks. Cause I'm sure people by now know that a battery running at 35C will deplete faster than a battery running at 25C. I am looking into the Mugen 3D battery. THe problem I have with the anker is that it messes with my vibration, but no one else seems to have this problem. WHen I say messes with it, the size difference causes the phone to vibrate weirdly.
I have heard reports that the EVO 3d battery runs cooler actually and runs longer, but Im not sure what to think, id say the difference could not be as high as 15%. I have the anker and it runs great, I decided to buy the EVO 3d battery aswell, from a reputable dealer, and ill give it a go and see, im just checking for heat differences.

I dont get how the battery is operating at a high temp ? , when my phone says battery at 35C or more if you take the case off its not the battery thats hot its the phone under the sim and memory card ? is it just me ?
i think its suggestable that when the phone gets hot its the heavy use thats running the battery down and not the heat as the battery (in my phone anyway) has maybe only changed by a degree or so
i dunno this is just something thats been bugging me whether it is the battery or is the the processor ....

I agree, even when feeling the back of the phone cover when its hot it feels like the heat is mainly lower down the back of the phone than where the battery is positioned. However, If its mainly the processor thats getting hot and not the battery, why does the Anker battery make the phone feel cooler compared to using the stock battery? ...Hmmm, could it be beacuse the Anker battery is metal its acting as a kind of heat sink for the phone? ... keeping it cooler.
Cheers
this thing is damn confusing me so much... I have to choose between Anker and Eco 3D battery...
I just have a concept that Anker will not give much charge cycles compared to Eco 3D battery
...
what do you guys say? evo 3d or Anker?

I agree with you on this
It is the battery heating up when using an EVO battery. The Anker does run cooler for some reason. The Anker does not report temperature, the EVO battery does however. The Anker is actually a 1700mah and the EVO is supposed to be a 1730mah but I have not tested it to confirm it. I will probably do this in a couple days to see if it does in fact hold as much as the Anker because I personally prefer OEM to aftermarket when it comes to batteries. Heat or not.

I'll be waiting........
I use the Chichitec battery and it runs great. It does not get nearly as hot as with the original Sensation battery but I know for a fact that it can't go through as many cycles.
I got the two batteries and the charger for $30. I used one battery more frequently and discharged with every new ROM I flashed. I found over time that battery #2 (I labelled them) was not holding a charge as long as #1 which I'd discharged fewer times.
As such, I don't discharge my batteries anymore after reading that these kind of batteries have actually gone through a cycle when it's below 50% and complete discharging is bad for its life. Overall, I get more battery life out of these batteries than the stock batteries.
As the title says, and much to my surprise a cheap replacement battery i bought on ebay (http://goo.gl/y4RML) for my Omnia 7 makes my phone reboot constantly when put to charger or USB. Works fine when not charging.
Just out of curiosity, what is the reason for this, other than battery being a cheap replacement?
On a side note, the original battery weights 4.7g more than the replacement, as measured by my perfectly working digital scale i bought on ebay.
BUMP
I just bought another one, same problem. So I'm calling it quits and buying an OEM battery.
Same problem, I try a non original battery and now when I try to charge my original battery my omnia reboot
Decided to sell my Omnia......although I liked Windows a lot, the battery does not charge very quickly, it will not charge above about 90% and I have tried 3 different batteries, 2 or 3 chargers etc. all with the same result. The phone needs either a software update or hardware mods.......Samsung get your finger out and fix this problem......
I also found it very difficult to get a genuine battery, had to buy a 3rd party battery which did not seem as good........
Bump... I also bought 2 cheap batteries for Omnia 7, and had the same problem, although it works ok, when you plug in the charger (or microUSB on PC), after 3-4 seconds the phone reboots. and then boots again, and instantly reboots...leading to an endless booting-rebooting loop. When you disconnect the cable, it's boots ok.
The batteries I got were marked 'Made in China' (made in Korea for the original). Also they had a (slightly) different P/N: EB504465VB (chinese) vs EB504465VU (original)
I have tried to charge the battery when the phone is in Download mode. It works, but I'm afraid that the constant image of the bootloader may burn in the Omnia7 AmoLED screen.
Has anyone found any decent source of replacement batteries for Omnia7 (apart from Mugen, that is very pricey)?
same battery problem, so i bought a charger dock

Does that dock charges only the battery? Can nyou provide a link, if you have bought it online? I have found some docks on ebay, but not for omnia7 specifically. They say the y are universal for almost all types of batteries. Do you have a universal one or a omnia7?
I bought this: cgi.ebay.it/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=190666195369#ht_4052wt_1134
p.s.: i can't post full link beacuse I'm under 8 post...
Grazie newfl, i found it.
The batteries that came with the dock charger had the same problem, right? What is their Part Number, EB504465VB 'or' EB504465VU?
Part Number is EB504465VB. Yes they have same issue
Have any of you noticed if the battery really is 1500mAh? The packaging says 850, which is ridiculous. Can you get through a day with 1hour calls, some IM, 2 hour music, 1 hour gaming, 1 hour reading an ebook, etc, the usuall?
I'll probably buy an original battery though, as i plan to keep this phone for at least a year more.
The ones I got are very identical to the original, and they say 5.55Whr / 1500 mAh. Their difference is the manufacurer country (original Korea, replacement China) and the last letter of their P/N (thing that might explain their incompatibility).
I didn't have the change to fully test the batteries, because of the aforementioned charging compatibility problem, but I expect my dock charger in any moment, and I will provide comparative results firstly on WPBench, then on real life.
So here it goes:
WP Bench Battery Test
==================
Settings: Airplane Mode: ON, GPS: ON (forgot it on so left it on for all tries), Brightness: LOW, Backgroung Agents: Disabled (through forcing Battery Saving Mode)
Replacement Battery: 1st:02h 40min 06sec, 2nd:02h 45min 08sec, 3rd: 02h 43min 43sec
Original Battery: 03h 41min 29sec
There is a big difference (original > replacement 34%) that I don't know if it is because of the low actual capacity of the replacement battery (despite its capacity is cited at 1500 mAh, the same as the original battery), or because of the not good charging of the dock charger (although the phone index in every case stated 100% when the freshly charged battery was inserted)

It's fake. There is no chance a company being able to squeeze that much power into a battery package the same size. Otherwise Samsung would have included a 2000mah+ battery already!

The gold brand battery capacity shouldn't be trusted. Like the post above me, there is no way you can cram a lot more mah with the same battery technology while having the same physical size as the original battery. At best you can have 10% more than the original, but from my experience, most of the original battery already maxed out their capacity for their size.
Short but powerful,
Without all the blablabla straight to the point. I got ?fooled? by a phone company 's expert(?) who told me this was not going to do any damage to my phone, and refused me to give me my money back after i found out that the battery was not good(the same as OEM z710e voltage ratings) when i came home.
I have a z710e, it came out of the factory in 2011. Original battery specifications:
m/n BG58100 p/n 35H00150-02M (3.7VDC 5.62Whr 1520mah)
The battery triple checked by "Expert" and sold by him is a:
m/n BI39100 p/n 35H00170-01M (3.8VDC 6.08Whr 1600mah)
My phone model: z710e (PG58130) original battery p/n: 35H00150-02M from 2011.
Next time I'll check this stuff myself and don't let those people do it for me. They either don't have any good batteries for this model and just sell the one that actually over volts your phone. Or other batteries and so had in his mind to sell me this and don't care about it, like "oh well who the heck cares, this person will never find out and will return to me when his phones is death". Well I'm pretty sure that this will not make my phone last any longer than a year / half a year or less! And i still need it for a year or longer if possible.

The question in a nutshell is simply : Will this higher end battery do damage to the phone and is my story right, i mean is this battery not compatible with my model because it can do damage duo to over volting the ma inboard/soc (because of higher battery output ratings?)

First of all you should search a little bit more to see that the same battery (35H00170-01M) is offered by numerous companies as a replacement battery for various phone models (Titan, Vivid, z710e...) just like the battery from your phone (35H00150-02M) is offered for the same models.
Then, you can find the same battery (35H00170-01M) offered with different voltages, both 3.7V and 3.8V, and the difference of 0.1V will not harm your phone, cause, you can see it yourself, voltage rating for the original phone charger is 5V and it doesn't harm your phone.
And the last, the other data you got for the battery (Whr and mah) mean only that you have battery that should last longer than the original one you have.
I hope I helped...

It indeed is, but i have really bad experience with replacement batteries. And those small 'voltage increases'. They end up to die quicker a lot quicker in my personal experience. And i think it is also the reason why, many sellers don't include my model in the compatibility list.The 3.8VDC 6.08whr version is meant for the XL and titan version witch is actually indeed the same but +300mhz overclocked.

To be honest I have some cheap s**t called Hinorx Extended Battery that's 1200mah (don't know what's extended there but that's what I got when I ordered regular replacement battery for Sensation) and it works really well, can go up to 25-30h with 2h of screen, lots of wifi (ARHD 7.3 with 1,5MHz o/c).
Don't worry about 0.1V, it means nothing. And for life of battery I hope you got warranty...

It don't has warranty. But it's oke. It is a OEM battery they said. Btw it works fine, only had to use another charger with a output of 1.5a. It would not charge otherwise. But well, lets see how long it keeps working.
Haha it seems to not work charging for 5 hours now and still 0% cannot go in cwm recovery and when it starts it will reboot and orange/green led will blink again. I tried to reboot it several times, tried to clean/bend the pins and all the other tips from XDA forum seasrch results and nothing seems to work.. Great =(

Did you try defferent chargers, stock one should (1A) be fine.

Yes i did but it got extremly hot so i switched back to the stock charger. And it actually should be fine? +0.1 volt doesn't matter?
The battery does not hold charge at all. It turns on battery level is 0% and will reboot and do orange/green led indication for as long as you keep it in the charger. When you get it out of the charger and turn it on it will go off as soon as android is loaded up intro the pincode screen. Guy at the store told me the led indication meant that the bettery is at an extremly low level of power and that it just needs to charge some more.
Well i have been charging it for like +5 hours now for sure. Using the OEM charger rated at 5VDC 1A. It is not the cable or faulty charger. If i test the output or on my tablet it works just fine. And with the old battery i'm able to charge it, but the old battery is dead, it does not hold load properly anymore. It drops a lot of times from 80% to 1% in like maybe 30 minutes of usage.
Also when using the GI39100 i cannot get intro adb or recovery..

Faulty battery. It's not about volts, it's about bad battery.
You should require replacement or reimbursement.

It is the second brand new battery the guy in the store put intro it.
Both did the same, it just doens't work.
1. Does not turn on (sometimes when lucky)
2. Holds no charge
I did
1. Wipe battery stats (in the end, like 5 minutes ago from writting. It took me half an hour to get the phone booting while charging)
2. The phone started only twice, now it does nothing anymore (with this new bat).
Also the battery info was all wrong.
When i checked the 1st time when i got it on i went to settings > about the phone > status > batterystatus it did show me(i left it nearly 3 hours like this and still 0%):
- Batterystatus: Unknown <----------------- Before battery stat wipe, after wipe still the same, no power on.
- Battery level: 0% <----------------- Before battery stat wipe, after wipe still the same, no power on.
While it should look like this!
- Battery is being discharged (when not charging)
- Battery level: 93% (old poor battery meanwhile after so much testing already full again)
When i put the old battery in place it works without problems. When i put the new one in it doesn't + battery stats are not even readed by android itself and recovery menu stated a warning. "Warning phone is under-volted" or some message like that. And the LED indicator flash in an unusual way (orange/green) this probably is an error code. Well, complete nonsense because i use the same charger. And the XL version has the same 1A charger, so this makes no sense. The battery is just not compatible.
The battery has been charging for almost 13 hours now. And still 0% + orange/green led flashes.
I have no tools here i had to imprevise with crap, gluetape and a doorbell to get a cracky 5 dollar multimeter working, LoL.
here is the bat output;
a 0.08 v 20 3.52v hv 750 0.07 hv 200 06.8 with other words it should be fine to run and maybe get 50% battery level. But it is still z3r0~ when i put it in my phone.
Topic prefix can be set to [ANSWERED]. The m/n BI39100 p/n 35H00170-01M battery works just fine in the z710e. Confirmed to work, even with 0.1v increase (does not produce more heat or instability, like some cheap fake batteries do without protection IC xD)
I went back to the store they gave me another battery and it instantly worked. So i had two faulty batteries. Lucky me again haha....
Probably or the store where i got it from does not test bats and throws them intro one big box or just very very unlucky.
The battery stats now work, no warning in recovery menu and no orange/green flashing in the led indication.
So if somebody has the same issue as me, your battery is 100% sure faulty. And you should toss it back to the re-seller for warranty or if you purchased the parts loose RMA it.
Get or an good alternative non-oem brand like anker. That is sure to be safe and good of quality. And never use fake chargers from like cheap Chinese tabs or phones. Often they have terrible output and this can badly damage your battery/phone because the output might not be stable enough and drops and increases a lot of times, either using a 2A charger does not make any sense at all. It will go just as fast as a 1A charger because the limit is 1A through(in most phones some can have other ratings). Only thing that can damage your phone/battery is if you go over the 5VDC. More volts = more heat = less lifespan. Amps are taken by the device and volts are given.
Confused
The new battery i have now is a BI39100 35H00186-00M. The 35H00170-01M does not seem to work in a PG58130 z710e or i had two faulty batteries... ?
Hey guys,
I was looking into extended batteries for the Photon Q and noticed that the Droid 4 uses the same battery as our phone. Is it possible to use one of their aftermarket batteries?
I want a slim battery (not interested in making the phone bigger) and this one shows the best results from the D4 forums
Our original battery has some green tag on it as seen here:
http://i.ebayimg.com/00/s/MTIwMFgxNjAw/z/ECQAAMXQUmFSjm2l/$_35.JPG
Is that just for NFC or something else? I don't mind losing NFC if that means I get more battery life
I got the mugen power battery to fit by removing some plastic and the back of the case, and of course NFC. Problem is it would get hot and slow down too often. Maybe that phone, maybe the battery, not sure, never tried it in another xt897.
I went ahead and ordered this gold slim battery
I'll be happy if it's even 10-15% better than a fresh stock battery
I will report back with my findings. In my current usage with one of the latest nightlies, I barely get 1-1.5 hours of screen on time when on mobile data and about 2 hours of screen on time when on wifi
While I've had decent luck with the gold batteries, they are actually just a factory Motorola battery with a shiny gold wrapper put on them. With that said though, at least from the ones I got they seem in every way to be genuine Motorola batteries, so still a good deal. I ended up getting a Mugen too and am working on making a case. I've got one molded up with some bondo but think I might end up trying to make one with super glue and baking soda like another poster did to make it more durable. I can still fit it in the vehicle dock by filing the USB port holder on the dock down a little bit.
If anyone uses the Mugen and happens to use Tasker, I wrote a tasker script to attempt to get an accurate battery percentage from the voltage readings and then update the OS if anyone wants. I also wrote one to keep the keyboard backlight more like the factory ROM instead of following the display backlight like it does in CM.
Just an update. Installed the battery today. I did partially peel off the gold sticker and it was all silver underneath. I know in other threads, the gold battery was reported to be a fake battery, or even stock battery with a new wrapper.
Initial results are good, but it's too early to tell. I will report back with updated usage. So far I'm not even sure battery stats are being reported correctly but it's a drastic increase in battery life.
So the gold battery has mixed results. The first few days I used it, the battery seemed pretty good. About 1.5 times longer than my shot original battery. However I noticed this battery does weird things in reporting numbers. Many times it will report 20% and then drop drastically fast to 0%.
Overall it's a decent battery but certainly not the capacity on the label. I would think a fresh stock battery would perform similarly without the weird drop off.
The biggest difference between my the gold and old stock battery is that it tends to sip power better. When the phone is not in use, the battery won't drain as fast. However when in use the battery drains just as fast. Maybe a little slower with gold, but not a huge difference.
My only concern is sourcing good batteries for this phone now. Even if I found a new stock battery, the unit itself has to be at least 3 years old. I'm sure motorola doesn't make new batteries for this phone anymore...
Wish we could frakenstein a battery for this phone

I would even pay someone if they can make me a custom extended battery like that. Anyone that can help?

I could do that. With that LG battery or a different one that fits better? I don't love that it is thicker by up to 1mm.
I also saw some other eb41 batteries on the market (read my thread here for the 4 I've found ( http://forum.xda-developers.com/droid-4/accessories/best-battery-t3341507). Not sure how good they are, only had the same mixed experience with the gold.

Lenmar still makes batteries for this phone (EB41, fits Droid 4 and Photon Q). I ordered 3 about 6 months ago and there was a 2 month lead time, so they obviously were newly manufactured batteries. I keep a spare in the fridge, the ones in my Droid 4 and Photon Q perform like new as expected.
Note: it won't come with the NFC antenna, but with great care this can be removed from the old battery and reattached.
I would like an extended battery too, but only if it came with a nicely fitting cover. Mugen makes one for the Droid 4 which could be used with the Photon Q, but they don't make a corresponding cover for the Photon Q.
Hope this helps.
P.S. which ROM do you guys use on this phone? I'm running CM 12.1 and it is fine, but when I have a few apps running like Google Music and Navigation, the phone gets super slow due to lack of memory. Under 'Apps -> Running' it shows 450 MB used just for System! I guess 1 GB phones are just passe at this point--or is there a better way to get more life out of this phone?
Cheers,
Mario
