I bought a momax 2700mah battery and Now i'm not 100% sure that the battery will charge via my phone, even if it does. it'd be nice to charge my stock battery for backup.
I'm looking into : Wall Charger
and this thing: Usb Charger thing.
I'm not really sure what to get tbh.
if it's the same voltage as your stock battery, I don't see a reason not being able to charge using the phone.
Anyway, it seems that both will work.
Also please make sure that you keep the replacement battery charged, meaning that if you're not using it make sure to recharge it once a month.
These batteries can break down if their inner voltage drops below a certain threshold.
the sgs has been known to detect some batteries as non genuine and won't charge them.
I buy a 2430MAh batery and it works fine with me. It have the same voltage of the original 3.7!

I recall IBM laptops doing so for various hardware types; will Samsung do the same??

I've read that it is detrimental to the battery's life to store it while fully charged, just as it would be to store it while dead.
Since we're giving differing advice, I would suggest the OP look it up himself.

It seems to be hit or miss to whether or not the sgs knows it's not a genuine battery.. maybe it's a slight difference of voltage that triggers it, and it seems that it's the cheaper batteries that trigger it and the "oem" ones.

I've heard both, but going by my retail experience with these types of batteries. Most come precharged anywhere between 30-70%, so I can only guess that that is around the preferred charge percentage for maximum life of the battery as batteries don't move all too fast from the shelves. Heck my sgs had 70% off the start.

I use this for my Stock Batteries (1x 1500 mAh & 2x 1650 mAh) since April. No problems till now. It's not the best quality but it's enough to load your accus.
the sgs has been known to detect some batteries as non genuine and won't charge them.
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.
Feel free to reply, but only if you know that what you are telling is 100% correct. Please avoid non-valid information or answers, thanks :good:
I am not a pro either but this just doesn't seem to be correct. Feel free to correct me, if i made any mistakes.

If you don't understand my actual question, then I'm deeply sorry. Often my stories are not so easy to understand duo to my bad English.
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 =(

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 there!
the title is right! i have a serious problem with my maxx's battery.
i searched in xda forum but i couldn't catch any same results. first i should tell u that i'm not living in U.S so I'm not using 4g LTE...
my droid maxx battery is draining really fast. it can't stand more than a single day of normal usage,the same results of the ultra. I'm not using any mobile networks,I'm just using wi-fi for internet connections. but the result on battery monitoring says that the screen is draining battery,which i dont use it really much! in the battery section in setting,screen used about 46%!!! for example i just unlocked the phone for checking it's battery,2 times in just 30 minutes,and each time the screen went on,the battery percentage got down by 1%. I was using a droid maxx HD before,its battery could run for more than 3 days for me on a normal usage! but my maxx barely goes more than a single day. what can i do? change battery? or any changing in software?
i'm on 4.4 android,not rooted.
i should add that it's about 17 hours which i'm on safe mode,in this 13 hours i was sleeping about 9 hours.and when i started on safe mode it had 62% of battery. now it's 42%!!!!!
sorry for bad english,
thanks for helping
Have you thought about switching batteries?

I wouldn't open the phone up to check. if the phone has a removable back on it that you can take off to look and see if the manufacturer has put their name on it. Otherwise, there isn't a good way to check I guess. Sorry
is there any software which can check this out?
Well, you can buy a new battery on ebay, that's what I'm going to do, I'm using an Ultra battery for now, the XT1080M batteries are between 30-35 on ebay, and I consider it very cheap for the capacity.

battery is original
Well, they said that the way to calibrate the battery is use it until is depleted, then... when its off connect it to the wall charger and don't turn the phone on until the battery icon marks 100%, turn it on and it is supposed to be calibrated, or I don't know...
For the battery swapping, you need the Motorola EU40 battery, thats the MAXX one, a Torx 3 screwdriver, a Torx 5 screwdriver and a plastic prying tool... you can search in Google on how to open the Droid Ultra/Maxx and it's easy, if you have the correct screwdrivers of couser... Good Luck!

It's fine, just drain until it ships off by itself. Plug it in and charge to 100% with the phone off the whole time. . I do this once a month to Calibrate the battery and it helps. Never had a problem
I have original battery of droid maxx 1080 , best timing 3500mah only 1100 pakistani rupees , location peshawer contect# 03429345276
Hello there I think my battery is damaged, becouse my phone switches off with 5-15% left (so i do calibrate, but doesnt help) and when I charge it, the charging starts from 14% instead of with 0.
So I decided to replace my battery. I know that I have to the BM-35 But where can i buy and get really a original?
I found this some on ebay and aliexpress, but i am not allowed to post here....
For exeample i found one on aliexpress with a cooling copper, is that usefull?
Thanks in advance for your Help.
Only on dragon-tt I've found original parts of xiaomi phones...
Sent from my Mi-4c using Tapatalk
Hello, I have exactly same problem! Same percentage, turns off at ~13-15%, then if I plug to charge it shows 14% everytime! I would also know if it's battery or something more related. I'm using mi4c for ~7 months now. Glad i'm not alone with this problem.
Which Rom?
Which Rom you use and do have only use your quickcharger (the original)?
Edit: I ask about the charger, because i read in anohter forum, that the quickcharge isnt good for the battery lifetime. I have the phone for more than a year and use the quickcharger only for every third or fourh charging. Do you use everytime?

Yes, used original quick charger, and USB. Using Ressurection Remix 5.8.0 (7.1 Nougat), but was getting problem with MIUI too, but shut down at 7%, and start charging at 21%, i think it may be software problem.
I'm not sure whether it is a software problem. I have for last month the rom from team superluminal ( cm-12.1-20160617 ) and have never battery problems - only since the last 2 weeks. So i updated to the rom cm-13.1-20161231 (also superluminal) and the first round with a full battery works fine, no switch off at a low battery level. I work on the phone until it has only 3 percent and then i charged it. Maybe you try this rom? Nevertheless i think isn't a software problem. Because I read this at the forum from superluminal (sry i am not allowed to link here) - posted by morphic:
IMO using quick charger w/ mi4c it will destroy your battery even more, because it seems to get too hot while charging. High temperatures are known to cause damage for battery internal chemistry..
I have also noticed that using normal “slow” charger will make mi4c battery percentage to behave more sane.

Tried to get a replacement battery from the biggest seller of them on aliexpress. Got stopped twice at custom x-ray with post nl . Was getting it shipped to Ireland. Seller is refunding me and told me it was getting very hard to ship batteries at the moment.

Not like Xiaomi uses top bin batteries in the first place. They wouldn't bother faking the bottom bin batteries Xiaomi uses.
there are no original ones as spare parts to buy. just replacements
I've bought one off aliexpress from a seller with biggest positive feedback for BM35 batteries as my original was switching off at about 30%, used for about three months, but it's not very good now - it doesn't hold charge very well and I have had random shutdowns at about 20%, too.
Last weekend I've got annoyed and put my old original BM35 back and the phone holding significantly longer with similar patterns of usage. Unfortunately still getting shutdowns at ~15-20%. Also there are rumours claiming that avoiding QC chargers "cures" the battery in mi4c. So, if you're getting shutdowns at 5-15%, don't even bother spending 10$ for a non-original one, try slow charging first.

could you tell us what kind of charger do you use? what power, ie. how many amperes?
I use two different Samsung Charger with: 1) 5Volt / 1A 2) 5Volt / 2A
I have the same problem where my device shut down early before 0%, and it happen to all custom rom i used, but i think the problem has gone now, i did clear all the chace and dalvik/ART, reboot the phone, charge untill 100% and calibrate with battery calibration.
I'm on RR 5.8.0 latest build.
Just got the battery the poster is talking about, with a copper patch. its from a batch marked with the year 2014. The S/N is covered with the copper patch.
the battery cover plastic seems a bit scratched, like its a used battery.
I will replace the battery in the next couple of days and let you know.
For the mean time I got it for 11.5$, now its 14.5$
I just bought a Pixel 2 off Ebay and it was advertised as new and it appears to be new. All I get is the lightening bolt when I plug it in and it never changes to show the current battery level. Phone will vibrate and show the little red indicator in the upper right, but will not seem to take a charge. I am using the stock charging brick and cable. Any way to fix this? I did make sure the brick and cable were good by charging my Pixel 6, it worked perfectly. I will leave it plugged in over night but if it doesn't take a charge I would assume the battery is absolutely shot.
It's possible the battery set too long and internally shutdown. If so it would be completely dead.
If the battery is providing some power, it may or may not be the battery.
Return or try replacing the battery*.

I actually got it to fire up! I guess if it's in that state you have to hold the power + volume down for like 25+ seconds. I did that and the bootloader popped up. I was surprised but now it's charging and I will test it over night to see if it holds a charge. It was still on Android 8 so I know this is an old device that was never purchased it seems. Looks totally new, I can't see any flaws.

Figured out the build date was November 15, 2017. I guess this must have been a phone that got wholesaled to the Ebay seller I bought it from. Seems there is a ton of these Pixel 2 and Pixel 2 XL's that can be had on Ebay for quite cheap. I paid $137 for this 128 Gb Pixel 2 and it came with all accessories and everything looks completely brand new. Hopefully the battery holds a decent charge.

They purposely don't ship with a full charge as it needlessly degrades the battery. They lose about 2-3%@month in storage.
As long as it takes a charge and has good capacity it should be fine.

By capacity you mean holds a good charge? Is there anyway I can check that in fact its reaching the 2700 mah it's supposed to?

mAh capacity. If it has good SOT and overnight usage it's likely ok assuming there's no battery hogs sucking it down.
Batteries generally aren't hard or expensive to replace so don't sweat it.

It seems to be okay. Didn't have a SIM in so no mobile connectivity but I lost only 3% in 8.5 standby hours with WiFi connected.
