Anyone use the Innocell 3500mah battery yet on their Eris?
Im a new user still (my account was made in Feb 2008) because of my low post count, so I can't post links but it goes for 49 dollars on Amazon.
That's a good price and I would like to pick it up, but I wanted hear some user experiences. I always have my phone at 768Mhz with some profiles for Screen Off etc, but I end up having to charge my phone within a couple hours under heavy use. So this looks like a perfect fit for me.
Any input would be appreciated.

There's lots more you can do to make sure your battery is good.
Is your Mail app syncing very often? Open mail, hit menu, and open up your settings and take a look at how often the refresh interval is. Once every 15 minutes will chew some battery. Once every 2 hours won't.
Hit home > menu > settings > accounts and sync, check out your facebook, and facebook for HTC Sense.
I UNCHECK the box for sync contacts under the HTC Sense one. Why? because it already synced my pictures once. The other option there is to hit the 'Check frequency' to once a day (saves a ton of battery, that facebook sync is a huge battery killer).
Also, if you don't use push Gmail, I'd turn off Always-On Mobile.
I use my Gmail, and even the company I work for switched our servers over to gmail, so I use the fact that it pushes right to my phone, exactly when I get gmail. I accept that my phone will only last one day if I have Always-On Mobile turned on.
ANYWAY,
I have the 1750mah battery from Seidio, and definitely notice a few more hours per day of use.
If I turn off 'Always-On Mobile', I can make the phone last 4 or 5 days. I just charge it when I go to bed at night though. Not a big deal for now.
I may or may not wind up getting the 3500mah eventually. That thing's a tank. I hear lots of great things.
I picked up the 3500 mAh battery last friday. It came with a 75% charge and once it was full, plus leaving it on the charger for another 2 hours as per directions it lasted for just under 40 hours with moderate usage!! Now I can actually use this phone the way it was meant to be used. I am now averaging about 37 hours per charge with heavy usage(i.e. 2 to 3 hours of last.FM, downloads and lots of browsing)
does it fit it the phone fine?
i mean do you have to have the back cover off when you use the battery.
please post the link for the battery i really want to try it out.
EDIT: never mind i found it on ebay and it comes with it's own case and i don't need the link
here is the link for anyone that does want it: http://shop.ebay.com/?_from=R40&_trksid=p3907.m570.l1313&_nkw=Innocell+3500mah+battery&_sacat=See-All-Catagories
might have to get this one....
I've had mine for close to a month now. Running at stock speeds (528 for those of you that don't remember ) I maxed out at 63 hours with normal usage. Running at 710 with moderate to heavy usage I get at least 40 hours. The only thing that really drags it down is when I do a lot of wireless tethering. I still get around 20 hours out of it though.
One thing I noticed with it, after it's done charging, unplug it, use the web for a few minutes to get it down to 98-99% then plug it back in until fully charged again. It lasts 2-3 hours longer that way. Don't ask me why, but it does.
It's an amazing battery and gives you something more to grab on to, making the phone more comfortable to hold. With the new froyo roms, namely Cyanogen Tazz, my battery life is insane with this thing.
Just asking, I had my Eris for a couple months and got it replace a bunch of times for the track ball. Eventually I switched to moto Droid but I still have my two batteries ones 2 weeks old the other a little over 2 months along with 2 chargers and USB cables. Also have back covers. The phones I had to send back though. If you or any ones interested so you can switch batteries when one dies that's what I was doing just charged both at night before bed. If interested let me know just pm me.
Sent from Droid using, Sapphire v1.0.0/ 928Droid Black Glass 2.2 Theme/ Sholes 1.0 Ghz 7 Slot Kernel.
I have that battery and get 2 to 3 full days before a recharge. Well worth it
Sent from my Eris using XDA App
Had the Innocell 3500mah battery for 3 months - many hrs of day with no signal, using wi-fi and will last 30 + hrs. with good signal - 2 days - best thing I've done since rooting the phone. Brother got the 1700 one and it was a joke when back to stock battery - get the big one.

I have the same exact one (1750) and I usually get almost two days use out of it (Thanks to KaosFroyo). I have the same reason for not getting the 3500, well that and it wouldn't fit my Seidio case either, you think they would have made a matching case for the 3500, but oh well.
Though I haven't found the equivalent of the "Always on mobile" option on Froyo yet.
I have a Seidio 3500mah for sale if anyone is interested...
I'm rooted and running xtrSense and I am in 3G mode right now and have Location On and my Gmails pushed and I did over 257 text messages today and about two hours of Pandora and it lasted all day and I still have about 20% left. It's all in the ROM methinks because the same usage on the stock Verizon ROM would have left me wanting more battery life and I would have had to charge twice a day. I only plugged it in while Pandora'ing in the car (maybe fifteen minutes of drive time), then worked an hour of regular Pandora on battery.
I'm seeing a bunch of Nexus one OEM batteries on Ebay going for between $12 and $30. The lower end of the price range are setting off my To-Good-To-Be-True sensors. Is there a counterfeiting issue with these batteries?
Nope. It works but it is definitely not as good as the original battery. I bought the package (battery and battery charger). Both works but charger takes pretty long to fully charge a battery (about 5 hours) and the battery does not last that long. I would say around 12 hours with decent usage.
But I got it just as a backup so its not bad at all for the price.
every single extended battery i've purchased has been exactly what was stated in auction.
my 2400Mah batteries for the g1's were as promised.
my current 2600Mah batteries for the N1 are as promised. syncing 4 email accounts, 3G(hspa), HD video recording, flash camera shots, and 2-3 hours surfing with flash = a solid day to possible day + 1/2.
as far as the normal capacity batteries, i really don't see the point in buying them. 4 hours and then a charge ? no good.
asthetics maybe ?

Exactly my personal experience too.
Just bought one from this person - http://cgi.ebay.com.au/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=330476620397&ssPageName=STRK:MEWAX:IT
Will let you know how it goes
Free battery from HTC
Just call HTC they will send you a free replacement during your warranty period.
I went with an ebay seller, got a battery that only has about 60% capacity of the original. I then emailed the seller, and he refunded my money. I now have a free backup battery in case I ever need it for an emergency.

sorry, it's been a while since i bought those nexus batteries, and almost a year since the G1 batteries. given the time frame, the ebay history is gone, or i haven't found it yet anyway.
So I ordered this the other day off of amazon, It actually ended up being a package deal with 2 batteries and a wall charger. The whole package was about $20 after shipping and took about 5 days to arrive at my doorstep.
The battery charger is universal, and not great but it works. I charged one of the batteries through the night last night, placed it in my phone today, and It worked quite well. I got right around 17 hours use from 100%-5% . I am in the process of buying my first house right now, so for those of you that have not experienced the "joy" It requires tons of emails/phone calls/ texts and will keep you very busy throughout the day. my factory battery would not have lasted the day, and this one did so with ease.
Anyway so far I feel it was 20 dollars well spent.
cheers.
Is there a trusted source for this? I can't buy it from LG or google...but would like to replace my Nexus 5 battery. I'm charging the phone like 3-4 times/day.

You can find all the proper LG part numbers in the D820 service manual, plus, it has the proper steps to dis-assemble the Nexus 5 so you don't break anything.
EAC62078701 is the part number to search for.
Read the last 20 or so pages for part numbers and di-assembly instructions(with color pictures!).

I contact the sellers and he assure me that their supply is directly from lg service.
Hi,
I have two questions...is there a trusted US reseller of the genuine LG battery. The one above is from the UK.
Also...I attached the GSAM captures...does this look normal for nexus 5? My battery is being drained very quickly lately. Maybe I need to do a factory reset?

2 hours screen on, half battery used? Yeah could be normal. Hard to say really.
Me too.....
I am looking for this, too. My battery is really messed up. I've tried recalibrating, factory reset, different ROMs, complete stock, etc. I'm getting 3 hrs. TOTAL before having to charge and it'll hit 25% and die almost immediately after that. I power back on and I'm at 3% (!). I'm trying the Zerolemon battery case to see if that gets me through the next few months until I can possibly upgrade or get another Nexus 5.
Excellent

I've spent the past few days looking for a genuine battery (in the UK). I've actually spent about 2 weeks swapping ROM's around from 4.4 to 5.0.1. Turns out Lollipop is some of my problem but even on 4.4 I'm getting pretty bad life.
All the other batteries I could find were about half the price but the reviews said they were fakes. I'll try this one.
OEM battery is only about $10 or $15, so price alone won't tell you if it's genuine or not.

I can't argue with that!
When I searched on amazon.co.uk for OEM Nexus 5 battery, I found a few for only about £10 but the reivews made it clear that they were not really LG batteries. I couldn't find the link that the poster gave (probably because it doesn't have OEM in it). I've no reason to believe it is more genuine other than the poster contacted them and they assured him. So I ordered it and it looks very genuine so far - some that are sold as OEM don't even have "LG" written on them!
I'll install it soon and see if my battery life improves and come back here and also write an amazon review - it's the only way for people to see what's good or not.

Resellers will then mark those up to whatever price they want so it's really a crap shoot out there. Best of luck with your replacement and let us know the results.
I would like to ask all the people on this forum that have replaces their battery in the Nexus 5 to post some of their impressions about the "new" battery, this thread looks like the perfect place to do this.
I will start:
- I had to replace my battery because it became very bloated/swollen, so much that on one side the back case was lifted 1 mm, and
the phone felt a little bit heavier. Also the battery would not last even an hour, the phone closing on it's own with the battery showing 50-70 %,
and after reset showing <10%, then it would magically charge itself back to 50%
- So I bought a new one from ebay: "http://www.ebay.com/itm/361075010454", the guy had positive reviews and many people got this item
- It arrived in perfect state, at least visually, it had part number "EAC62078701" like all the replacement batteries online, the seller assured me it was original and new from LG. Proof that it was new could be that the connector ribbon was straight and not folded in any way, so it could not have been used in a phone before. The inscriptions on it seemed original, but when I scanned the barcode from the lower-left side it decoded a different date
than the one written on it over the P/N, so no match, but what does this mean ?
- I put it into the phone and now it acts "normally", meaning that it goes from 100% all the way to 0% without the phone closing itself
- Charging also seems normal, taking about 2,5 hours to fully charge with the LG WCP-300 wireless charger
- But this is were the problems start, with the new battery I cannot get more than 2 - 2,5 hours of SOT no matter what I do. I've tried 4.4.4, L preview, 5.0, 5.0.1, even cm11, with full wipes and no restores, but it's the same, as soon as the screen in on, the battery drains like crazy, I lose 15% battery in 10 minutes of playing Temple Run 2, which is not even such a demanding game. Totally unacceptable, when the phone was new, I used to get 4-5 hours of SOT, now I don't even get half that.
This is why I'd like to get other people's impressions about a replacement battery.
Maybe this replacement battery is bad, I but I don't want to get another one without proof that other replacement batteries can get 4 hours of SOT with stock Lollipop.
Thank you.

With all bells and whistles I get 3- 3.5h SOT . LTE at all times , location on , brightness around 15%. 4 to 5h on 3g with location off and no music.
The only way to be sure if it's the battery is to either compare it with another battery in your phone or do a controlled discharge .
That would involve taking it out , wiring it to a constant current sink and timing how long it takes until it reaches cut-off voltage. Since either buying a current sink or building one will cost you more than 15 bucks I'd say just look for another battery if you really hate the current SOT .
Best of luck!!! Had the same issue a few days ago when I plugged my N5 to the charger of my sisters tablet, which is obviously one of those cheap Made in China tablets,
and the voltage totally killed the battery in my phone, so didnt really feel like those sellers where worth my trust, so went to FB and got in the N5 fan page of my country, so there was a guy who had one with a broken screen and was nice enough to sell me his battery, this is basically your best shot, asking around if you REEEEAAALLY want a original one, since LG dont sell them to the public
Temperature of replacement Nexus 5 battery
Hi,
Sorry to bother you, but could you tell me if your replacement Nexus 5 battery has a varies temperature?
I mean if the temperature goes up to 35 Celsius when it's charging or you're playing games, of if it goes down to 25 when it's idle.
Because my replacement battery always stays at 29 degrees Celsius, no matter how I use the phone.
I think mine might be bad, but I want to check with someone else before buying another one.
Thanks.
Update - I replaced it a few days ago (using the amazon.co.uk link given previously) and it has solved my issues. I played a video in a loop on full brightness and got almost double what I had before. General usage seems much better too.
So why did I need a new one after just a year? I think my old one was damaged by overheating on cheap wireless charger. My new charger doesn't make the phone get so hot. I used the old one for about a year and lost about 50% capacity. I thought they must all do that so I didn't worry. I'm told heat can damage the battery.
The temperature is fine - about room temp unless I use it a lot.
It's normal - a battery loses about 30% of its capacity after 400 cycles.

I guess you got that from something like "table 2" on this page -
http://batteryuniversity.com/learn/article/how_to_prolong_lithium_based_batteries
That's showing a 30% loss on 300-500 cycles assuming the battery was right down to 0%. I didn't know that.
However, I lost 50% and would not have been charging from 0% so it seems worse than average. The next paragraph on that page talks about degradation due to heat. That would explain why mine was so bad.
I'm still surprised though as I've had a few smart phones and never noticed even 30%. I had my Motorola Defy for 2 years as my main phone and then 2 years as a spare and it seemed fine. I suppose you don't notice a gradual loss so presumably I just wasn't noticing.
Not all batteries are made the same - my very old motorola (w388 , 10 years old) started out with around 7 days battery life . Now it only lasts about 3 days so ~60% loss.
My desire x lost around 30% capacity in 2 years - so around 900 charging cycles. My S3 on the other side ... capacity was down to 50% after 200 charging cycles. I've checked most of the with a controlled discharge on a current sink so it should be about 3% off .
So i finally replace my battery and miracle happen phone charge normally not in 40 minutes, there is no battery jump and fall during reboot, no enormous drain etc. So if you have issue as described above and changing roms, kernels and go back to kitkat didn't help change your battery.
Just got a battery from eBay... Looks authentic, but doesn't charge.. Just stays at 0%...
Probably will have to exchange... Is there a way to tell if an LG battery is authentic??
Edit: Well the seller has quickly refunded me and I didn't even have to send back the battery. Told him it wouldn't charge and is stuck at 0%.. He insisted he would just send out a new one, but I asked for a refund instead.
Already ordered a new one from etradesupply, should be here within a few days..
There have been a lot of battery issue related threads so i wanted to create one in the hopes of collecting info and to isolate the problem. Kindly mention your model number, rom and the % at which it shuts down.
In my case i have two batteries. The one i got with the phone is around 2 yrs old and the other one barely 9 months. I use them interchangeably. The original one fares better and shuts down bw 20-30%(sometimes it goes as low as 10%). The other one is quite unreliable as it(sometimes shuts off at 60%) . I have the N915G version with the latest DPI1 MM.
One odd thing I've seen is that if the phone shuts down and i try to go to recovery, it doesn't shut down or reboot. Even in the recovery it shows the proper percentage.
I also have 2. Just recently bought a new one..
Old one SoT is 2,5 hours. Turn off at 4-10%.
New one SoT is 4,5 hours.
I have 4 two normal sized batteries one is samsung OEM it shuts the phone off at 10% I guess it's as old as the phone, I got the phone off eBay from a pawn shop seller who thought the imei was blacklisted and had or best offer so I checked it on swappa and it was clear and offered him 220 and he accepted.
Then I have a brand new maybe month old ZeroLemon 9000mah that lasts forever on 1% a TOTHL 7800mah battery that lasts the same as the ZeroLemon, it's 2 months old maybe 3 and a slim Beltron 3200mah that also stays on forever on 1% it's a year or 2 old and all on power saving mode enabled and greyscale.
I noticed this problem with the oem battery on all rom's.
quite obvious its lollipop os causing all this , now it just brought forward to mm
I get to about 5% and it shuts down. Phone on OEM battery and is 2 years old. Not sure about the battery as I paid $140 for it off eBay...
