I purchased a new 2250mAh extended battery recently from megacapacity.com.
In a full charge it gives me 18-20 hours backup with 1 hr talk time only. I don't even use Wi-Fi, GPRS. Just simple calls.
Is it normal? i dont think. Original battery 1050mAh gave better performance when it was in good condition. What could be the issue?
I have tried almost every ROM but its almost same in every case.
Anybody having 2250mAh battery? pl share your thoughts.
Is there some problem with device not charging optimally or battery is bad?
2250
I have a 2250 battery purchased from megacapacity itself. The first charge lasted for 50 hours. The battery at the time of recharge was around 20% but I recharged again. I am sure it would have gone for another 10 hours at least.
This is with moderate calls, browsing, solitaire, always on Microsoft Push mail and lot of email reading and writing. I was basically testing the battery backup; so kind of stressed my phone a bit to see the actual backup time available.
On a related note, I was definitely not happy with megacapacity as they didn't send me the correct battery cover for vox and never responded to any of my emails. So now my phone is without battery cover. And I am planning to buy one more normal sized battery because of this. Thanks to megacapacity.

PS: - I am using fireburned 6.1 stable rom 1.4.
I am pretty happy with Polar CEll 1300 mAh battery. It gets me through the day with heavy use! It dies when I am IMing over Wifi for a couple of hours in the evening.
Is it device charging issue?
My device was also working good with original battery. I used it for approx 18 months. After that (couple of months back) it started giving problem shutting down device suddenly while in the call. Its calibration was totally disturbed, i happend due to high temperatures some time when in car, i think so.
In nutshell that battery was of no use to be thrown out. Then,
I bought 2250 mAh but its not giving expected performance, its lasts for max one day with normal use.
Could it be due to issues with device charging circuit? It gets charged fully in one hour. i suspect there might be some issue with device circuit.
or finally battery is not good?
Pl advise.

parthabhatta & h4waii,
You both have good experince with VOX battery, pl share your thoughts on this.
Hi,
Actually I use a battery bought from megacapacity but its 1100mAh. The battery is not giving me any problems and after a few calls, roughly one hour surfing and some music playing 20-30% battery is still left. So what I feel is being 2250mAh it should last atleast 80% more than 1100 mAh if not double. You can check the Power management battery bar while charging - whether it shoots up occassionally at random or gradually increases with increments of 1% till it attains 100%. If it shoots up, try with USB charging and see if the problem recurs. Give it a try and let us know.
Just be careful of using BIG battery.

Thats a good idea, sure i will check and let you know.
I charged my 2250mAH in an external charger, which removes any possibility of the device shutting off charge after it reaches a certain voltage. It allows the battery to make that choice. I had good use with it, very heavy usage and it would last drastically longer than the OEM 1100mAH unit. I'd recommend just buying a 1300mAH as the 2250 is very cumbersome to carry around on the device.
Again, I still have mine - if anybody wants to buy them.
There are a few issues with keeping the sheet in contact with the pins, else it will shut off randomly, I padded it with paper and pulled the pins out a bit.
i got mine a year ago from ebaystore dmc-batteries.
first i also got the wrong backcover, but they sent me very fast the correct one.
The battery is definitely not twice as strong as the original one.
At normal use I think the max is 1,5 day. Light use gives me 2 days but heavy use with bluetooth or wifi or gprs only 1 day.
as h4waii I had in the beginning some problems with the contacts and sudden loss of power because of that, but that disappeared with time
Still I can't make a point...I'cant determine were is good to buy (obviously referring xda user's opinion to how much the battery lasts) and where is better not to buy. LoL

dmc-batteries gave me good service and are quick and friendy in their replies. I recommend them.
Thank you birdibird , but my intention was a survey to know what brand (seller) of ezxtended battery lasts more than an other. Just that
Because I've read of battery lasting 4-5 days with normal usage and others not lasting more than 1!
My Fuze has started to exhibit some very odd battery life behavior. Over the past 10 days or so, I've noticed a pattern of extremely poor battery life every other day. I recharge my phone everyday overnight, but some days the "low battery message" appears only after a few hours. I'll reconnect to a charger to make it through the day and then recharge overnight as is my typical routine. The next day, the battery will last me all day and not drop below 50% before I reconnect the charger before going to bed.
Today the "low battery message" came on only after 4 hours of battery use in which I did not make a single phone call, text, e-mail, etc. Yesterday I used the phone heavier than normal and the battery was going strong well into 11:00 PM.
I'm not sure if this is a battery issue or a phone issue, but I'll be darned if I can figure out what the heck is going on. Any thoughts?
I bet its most likely that the phones battery isn't properly calibrated and is why it doesn't show correct battery drainage. I would just buy a new battery if i was you.
Or load up a new rom to your device which cause the battery to need to be re-calibrated and should drain rather quickly over the first days and then go back to normal.( Note- you should allow battery to drain low normally before a full charge again)
But if your battery is just at its end this is pretty much useless, so either try it at your own risk, or just buy another battery -> Really cheap on ebay from trusted sellers!
Hello, this is how my battery life looks like.
So, battery, when it charges, goes up smoothly up to about 50 percentage mark. Then, the rate of charge slows dramatically, followed by a huge surge at the end. As soon as I unplugged my phone, however, the battery drops significantly, and I end up losing battery even as the battery is charged.
Any idea what has happened? I see no significant wake lock (I have no idea what the application says it's active), signal is high and sync is turned off. Is it a hardware issue? Corrupted battery stat?
I am running CM 11 Milstone 12, and the battery is a ZeroLemon extended battery.

Sounds like the battery or possibly the charging port is going bad. Those are really the only two I can think of

What battery health does it report for you?
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.digibites.accubattery
Had my Pixel 2 since Nov and tend to try and look after the battery with the now popular wisdom of not charging beyond about 80% when I don't need to. AccuBattery already now reporting 87% battery capacity (2362mAh total), even when benchmarking 0-100% charge. I can't recall what it reported when I first used AccuBattery - maybe mid 90's?
So perhaps I have a low capacity battery, or maybe AccuBattery should not be trusted anyway. Most users seem to get good and believable results from it. In use the Pixel's battery life seems reasonable and consistent with what many folk see, but we're only talking about a 13% margin and usage models and thus battery life change much more than that from person to person. It's just a 13% of extra capacity/life between charges that I'd quite like to have!
But how on earth do I prove reduced/poor battery capacity to get a RMA? I can't say "an app on the Play Store claimed XYZ". Phone was purchased from Google. Maybe I have to RMA based on some other fault I can cite that I can prove?!
Any ideas/experience of any of this?
I've had my pixel 1 for about 5 months (I got a warranty replacement because my previous battery would die in half a day), and AccuBattery shows my battery capacity health at 2087 mAH
My original Pixel 2 actually and genuinely stopped charging intermittently and I had no trouble getting it RMA'd. AccuBattery performs the same on the replacement.
I have now found with my Pixel 2 that AccuBattery under-reports capacity almost always whenever the phone is partially charged. It reports higher capacity when the phone is fully charged - the state it gets to beyond a reported 100% and when it actually stops charging. I put this down to a non-linear battery gauge on the phone - probably by design
I've had mine since October, never bothered with anything fussy like stopping charging at 80%, mostly used the supplied (fast) charger overnight (occasionally other chargers/power banks/USB). Today it's saying my capacity is 93%, but yesterday it was 89% and a few days ago it was 85%. The main thing I take from that is that it fluctuates by several % day to day.
Anyway I'd be amazed if they accepted 13% battery wear over 11 months usage as grounds for an RMA.
I asked this exact thing on Reddit and got nowhere. It's got to be some issue with pie and accubattery. All three of my pixel phones suddenly lost 15-25% battery capacity after pie. 2 pixel 2 and one og pixel XL. Right after a factory reset my pixel 2 shows 99% capacity and then slowly drains down after some charge drain cycles . Perviously it was always above 95%
Hi guys, have you guys ever bought a replacement battery for your p30 pro ? mine is finished. It drains very quickly. I'm thinking of buying one and install it, Has anyone has one to recommend? like where to buy ? link?
there is many out there, but i want the original one. I dont trust those on ebay.
thanks
Nope, mine still holds on really well.
Be sure that there is no app draining your device. Or that your charging habits are okay.
For better battery health:
Try to only use the Huawei charger, and no cheap chargers.
Battery performance degrade faster after full charge and drain, so don't let the battery die too often, it is recommended to charge your phone often. Partially discharge is healthier than (almost) full discharge, they advice to not go below 20%.

Standby time is okay. SOT are about 60h after a full charge.
as soon i use the screen, regardless the apps, it starts to drain very quickly. Per. google dua (video call) 25% gone after like 35mins of using. Or if i play games, it kills even faster. Although, I set to the screen brightness to lowest enough so i can see.
I have p30 pro over year, and I am heavy user but battery is still fine, as advised before check for apk issue, must be something there what drain your battery, way to early to replace battery, and battery will be still covered under 2 year warranty, but there will be apk issue, record all apks, and start removing one by one, this way you will found faulty apk in your phone, good luck.
Never used Quick charge, never use phone while charging... Before this afternoon I rebooted the phone at 33%, when turns on again it shows 14%.. And in this last week I notice often that battery quickly discharge under 20-25% (just like 5m of sot 22% to 5% and phone goes to sleep) I'm so disappointed by this phone, after 13 months of use...
me too, i'm looking into one...if you guys ever got one to suggest

Does that mean you didn't use his charger, the original one ... ??
Then you complain that his battery is destroyed ...
