[Q] Best site to buy a battery from. Pad & dock - Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hey, so I just picked up an Asus TF101 at a killer deal from someone and I noticed the tablet battery itself only lasts 2 hours, I haven't charged the dock fully yet but doing that tonight, but I'm guessing it's going to run pretty low as well.
I am planning a trip to somewhere is minimum power outlets and will need to put in new batteries. Anyone have any recommendations for sites where I can pick up some cheap batteries? I live in Canada, but I might be going to the states soon so I can easily get it shipped there.
Thanks!

Not exactly cheap, but I've bought speakers for the TF from these guys before, took a few weeks to arrive though

U$20 *delivered*: "2x1400mah battery + charger for htc google nexus one"

Ordered one from ebay 16 days ago. U$20 delivered for a charger (charges battery + USB output) and 2(!) batteries. Came in today. Seem to be legit, batteries fit fine, come in about 40% charge in em. Charging both at the moment, will post later as to the longevity etc.
Search ebay for title (the quoted part of it), $20 delivered.
No idea how this chinese quality is, but it´s cheap
[text deleted]
OK,
1st battery charged in N1, seems to be fine after 3 hrs of occasional use, still 100% charge. The other one charged in the charger that came with it, will test it tomorrow. Charger gives indication when the charge is complete. I guess we got ourselves a winner here
Good to hear. I ordered the same bundle a week or so ago and I'm waiting for it. Things from HK do seem to take a while to get to the US - guess that's the price you pay.
I got this same deal!
It's a crazy bargain! I love have (3) batteries on me when traveling. In a hotel room it's wonderful to find a spare remote outlet and charge up the depleted batteries. No down time.
I received my batteries and charger from China very quickly.
thanks i'll look into this
EDIT: Which seller did you guys buy from?
Just trying to help,
This one,
http://yit.me/46vpzp
Wow. That's quite a deal! I don't really think I need it but I'm sorely tempted to order a set anyway just in case.
This deal hooked me.
This is a NO BRAINER!
You get the 2800 mAh worth of power for 1/3 the price. Plus you get the external charger.
The only "negative" to me is that I have to shut down the phone to swap batteries... but the N1 reboots so fast... not really a negative.
The big "positive" is that I get the additional power in reserve... without getting a big ugly battery and new battery door that alters the slick look of my phone.
I don't have an scientific evidence yet.... but these new batteries seem to actually run longer than my stock battery.
I got this. Its a phenominal deal. The batteries are top notch, and I'm almost inclined to think one of them actually works better than the stock battery, but that could just be my imagination. Hard to test.
The charger is great too.
I ordered the same set on the 18th and I still dont have mine! Glad you all are happy with yours! I am going to file a dispute tomorrow, 3 weeks is too long!

2800 mAh is double the OEM battery, so of course they run longer then the stock battery

Uhhmmm....he is saying that 2 batteries at 1400 = one batter at 2800. They are talking about 2 batteries and a charger for 20$.
This is a great deal! Maybe too good to be true?? Please keep us updated on how these batteries perform throughout the year.
Any issue with charge times? It is only rated plugged in at output 4.2V 350mA, this seems a little low to me.
I do see it is rated higher for the USB output connection, is this to the battery or just to the USB port, of 5.2V 800mA?
Thanks
Don't file a dispute... that is pointless.
E-mail them and ask for it to be sent again however if they say no then you can dispute it BUT standard postage can take FOREVER.
I have ordered CDs from America (where most of you guys are) and sometimes they have come in 5 days and sometimes it has been a month.
Unfortunately your US mail is incredibly unreliable and then when you add into that the fact it is coming from Hong Kong so has to go through so many mail systems you should just relax and be patient!
I ordered the same package yesterday and also the 8-in-1 HD2 package with 3 screen protector, 3 cases, MUSB to cig lighter charger and an extra MUSB cable which I can use those 2 both with my HD2 and N1 as I already have cases for the N1 and screen protectors.
Folx,
I have used both batteries, charged via both N1 and the charger that came part of the deal. Used the charger to charge N1's original battery. No issues encountered. Having total of 3 batteries must be a godsend for frequent travelers and alike.
I never hesitate when ordering items from China/HK. Takes anywhere from 1.5 to 3 weeks, never had anything lost.

I ordered on the 18th too...Glad to see I'm not the only one still waiting. I'm even more glad to hear that the quality seems OK so far.
Hopefully it will be waiting for me when I get home tonight!

Emergency Charger Bargain

Hey folks.
Just thought I would let you know about what I just bought.
It's the same as is sold here on amazon for £30:
http://www.amazon.co.uk/Kit-Power-Junkie-Emergency-Charger/dp/B004S5CP2E
Bought it from Asda and it was only £7!
Just charging it up now.
Phil
Let us know how much it charges the Desire before it goes flat.
I bought a Nexxus PowerBoost (http://www.mobilefun.co.uk/nexxus-powerboost-pro-emergency-charger-p21937.htm) and it's only able to charge about 30% before the 2 AA batteries go flat.
It apparantly it will charge an iPhone 4.5 times.
I charged it up when I first got it then charged the phone up from 30% to full. Then went the week using it to top up the battery each day.
It was showing one bar on the power indicator before I charged it but seemed far from flat!
Really impressed with it!
They still had them when I went in last week.
Phil
I've got the one from Amazon called a "New Trent ultra-pack IMP50B 5000mAh Universal USB Battery Pack" (I would have posted a link but as a new poster, I've found I can't yet. Anyone interested ought to be able to find it with that title). It's nowhere near as cheap as the OP's £7 bargain(!) but I find it really useful.
I'd recommend one of these external batteries to anyone who travels often or who does a lot of outdoors activities who doesn't want to double the thickness of their phone and might want more than 50-100% extra charge.
Look for the all-important auto-off when the phone is fully charged or when the unit isn't in use. No point having a charger which flattens itself :| There's a newer version which people complain doesn't have that feature
My one will do about 2.5 charges before going flat with the Desire. I mostly got it for long-haul flights and long days in the big outdoors, but I'm finding its also handy in my current car where the 12v outlet is miles from the dash, when I use copilot for GPS

replacement battery

can anyone recommend a uk supplier for a bp6x battery that the milestone 2 recognises? or ideally a seller on ebay as i prefer to use paypal? i tried one that said "genuine motorola battery" when it arrived i plugged it in and the dreaded "?" appeared and the phone refused to recognise it. so it was obviously a fake. almost all the listings ive seen appear to be copies. i dont mind a non original aslong as its recognised by the phone and works... the only original battery seller i can see are second hand ones and id rather have a new one if possible. thanks
im interested to same problem ... so up +1!
Rule of thumb is don't buy batteries off ebay.
I was considering purchasing second hand ones, and even considered getting a droid 2 battery second hand, so at least it might be genuine moto, but thought better of it and feel validated with my choice.
At the end of the day, the battery can potentially fry your entire phone the second you connect it. You can't seem to get them direct from moto, but I'd suggest contacting your service provider and see if they can order genuine parts.
I suggest getting a portable charger for those outings where you know you will need some more battery life. Get a car charger, and if possible, a spare charger for work. Than most of your bases are covered and safer too
I'd purchased 2 from a seller on ebay and both work fine - no ? icon whatsoever, even though they're clearly fakes (no hologram). Will give it a week and see how they're lasting, and ill pass on the seller ID. They're handy to have as they can easily fit into a wallet and do wonders if you're getting tore into the Friday night scene.
ive got two spare chargers, and a car charger DreadpirateDan but my original is getting a bit knackered. itll jump from 80% to 40% in one go. then 40% down to nothing. doesnt last anywhere near aslong as it used too. so definitely time for a replacement. i got my phone on ebay so dont have a service provider to contact.
thanks gogz, let us know how u get on. i picked up one of the genuine second hand ones on ebay and it works fine. but its actually older than the one i originally had lol.
hey gogz let us know how ur batteries goes then.

Holy moley that's crazy as, what do battery diagnostics tell you of your battery health etc? (if they even work, lol)
Also, have you tried battery calibration? That issue just sounds crazy, perhaps that might help?
EDIT:
Maybe you should get AnTuTu Tester off the market and run a battery test (will require your phone to be out of action for a few hours rapidly discharging though )
I scored 358 and am placed just above HTC HD2 and below LG Optimus 2X. The Galaxy S2 doesn't seem to have scored much more than me going by the bar graph - I've allways thought my battery to be shocking and potentially damaged health wise. So maybe that could give you an idicator as to how it's holding up, just for curiosity sake.
yeh tried that. the batterys just old thats all. theyre only good for a 1000 charges or something. so charging it couple times a day for over a year soon adds up. as they age the voltage becomes more erratic and it doesnt hold its charge.
I bought 2 original BP7X from ebay (and one bigger cover) and they are perfect.

BP7X is the way forward buddy. Can abuse the phone all day long and have 50% by the end with custom ROM and Juicedefender. I'm sure with light use you could get a week out of the thing.
ms2 is enough busty :F with bp7x and backcover is like to have a notebook in your pants.
i wish a batery that doesn't needs a backcover and works good without any block
This was were I got my batteries from guys. I've tested them both quite extensively over the holiday season and they have lasted well. Has proved to be a good investment actually as I sucked all the juice out of my phone taking 720 video at a gig over NYE and needed the phone to regroup after it. Hope this helps you. I also got one of those docks with the battery slot in the back to charge them up as a wee christmas present to myself too. I'm getting geeky in my auld age.
hey gogoz with that battery can u see how much % of juice remains ? and can u recharge it from your phone?
Yup. No problems on both counts there.
I have to say that I purchased one of those BP7x 1800mAh batteries and I am not impressed at all.
It barely makes 2 days without data connection always on.
Still I am using the phone underclocked at 800 mhz with screen on and everything forced at 300 when the screen is of wit setcpu.
It takes about 3 hours to burn 10% of charge
Well it only adds like 30% (or something?) extra life.. so if your normal life span used to be about 36 hours then 46 (barely 2 days) is just about right.
for replacement battery i would higly recommend "mugen" batteries. their average performance exceeds the OEMs. But if you go for the heavyweight usage, try their 3300mAh [HLI-A855XL] for milestone. not cheap though compared to ebay deals, but worth it quality wise.

2days! lol. ive never gone more than 24 hours even with the original battery fresh out of the box from the day i bought the phone. i can only dream of going two days without a charge
Hey guys! I wanted to buy this:
http://www.ebay.es/itm/NEW-MOTOROLA...299866?pt=PDA_Accessories&hash=item43af074c1a
Will that battery fit the Milestone 2? Are the accessories the same for the Droid2 and the Milestone 2?
Thanks!

I have a Droid 2 BP7X and it works fine in my MS2. I'd be wary of the Chinese writing and the very cheap price on the link you provided though. And you will need a new battery cover (mine was supplied with one).

Battery life good ?

Hi,
I want to buy a tablet, a ACER ICONIA TAB A500 or ASUS EEEPAD TRANSFORMER, but i want to know your return about the battery life of TRANSFORMER ?
How many time do you have with your TRANSFORMER ?
Do you know a good webshop ?
thank you and sorry for my english
my transfomer stay on for about 9-12 hours with a charge plus 6-9 hours of the dock.it may depend on what rom and configuration you use and of course,the kind of use do you do....i have max brightness,max sound and bluetooth on for 1\3 of the time for my BT mouse(plus wifi etc..)
if you plan to buy an iconia,i can certainly say that it doesn't so many hours...and it hasn't the dock and double battery....for the rest OS and cpu\gpu are the same...only screen change,the TF has a good lightened display with ips and great angle view (it could drain a little more than iconia's display..but personally i prefer a good screen also if drain a bit more!in a tablet the screen is to much important!)
I created a poll fir this to ciklect such info, go read it.
Sent from my Transformer TF101 using Tapatalk
i get really good battery life. i also have the dock if your planning on getting that. the tablet itself lasts about 2 days and with the dock i can easily hit 3-4 days with one charge.
im running the latest revolver rom and i use the tablet all day cause of school so it lasts me a little more than half of my week with the dock.
i do have the tablet undervolted.
i have it undervolted about 200mv when the screen is off and about 90mv when its awake and in use.
hope that helps you and im not sure what you mean by webshop but i think you mean appstore
i have the android marketplace and its fine, just as many apps as the ios marketplace and i dont have a problem finding what i need.
if you meant where to buy it, i know bestbuy and gamestop are selling it discounted at $300 right now if your in us.
Thank you for your answers, another can say to me your battery life ?
PS: by webshop i undestand a shop for buy the transformer.
thank's
BestBuy.com has them for $299 USD and Ebay.com still has lots for $350 USD sometimes lower if u lurk.

4000mAh Asus battery replacement for OnePlus 6

Hello guys, so there's a local mobile repair shop here in my country where they offer legit Asus battery as a replacement to the stock 3300mAh of our OnePlus 6. I'm just wondering, is there anyone here tried the same thing on their OP6? I've already tried searching on google and here on XDA but I'm afraid there's none, so I'm asking this here.
So, the battery mod is a 4000mAh from Asus which can perfectly fit our OnePlus 6 device without any additional space/bulk on the inside. I already have a schedule for the battery replacement this week and hopefully I would see improvements over my aging stock battery.
Without playing any games, I am averaging 6.5-7hrs SoT with a day and a half of battery until it reaches below 15%, while when playing games, I am only getting 3-4hrs of SoT.
I would post here some screenshots of changes/improvements on the battery life after I received the battery replacement.
Feel free to comment anything with regards to the matter. Thanks guys! ??
As long as the battery connector is the same I think it should be fine. But I'd be seriously worried about Dash Charge. Not all batteries can take that wattage. Like a week ago someone in my group shared photos of a guy with a battery replacement in his Poco and his phone exploded in his pocket and guy had really badly burned/melted skin on his thigh.
So be careful with that, monitor temperatures and stay safe
I would be very wary of non-standard batteries in this phone unless they are specifically approved for usage, i.e., VOOC/Dash charge supported. The fact that the connection may fit means nothing.
Otherwise you're risking a fire or explosion. Charging protocols for li-ion batteries are nothing to mess around with.
Interested in this keep us posted

Can´t find original batteries anywhere....
Interesting idea please keep the post updated

I watched a tear down of the OnePlus 6 several months ago and saw that doing a battery replacement on this phone is one of the easiest I have ever seen. So easy in fact that I often wonder if OnePlus made it easy for those of us who are willing to do the work so as to keep our phones running a long time!

How's your experience so far? And what battery model is that?
Please keep us posted
Any update on this yet?
Any update?
Phone exploded and OP probably died ...
Hi
Please post here some screenshots of changes/improvements on the battery life after you received the battery replacement and the model number of asus battery.
We are interested here . thanks
his phone probably exploded...i hope he didnt die...maybe when he gets another OnePlus 6..he'll join us..
OFFTOPIC:
Any place where we can buy original batteries?
One year past and already notice decrease more 20% life battery....
As Cleruzinek said, It's NOT wise to use non-oneplus battery to replace the original, unless u certainly know what u'r doing...at least u'r familar with oneplus "voltage control" in the OP circuit board; battery without ISO proven is quite dangerous and cause trouble...for safely is better stick to original's haha! @Mord0rr Taobao or E-bay have...check those out!
TABAO don´t know how to buy...
Ebay....just say i don`t trust those sources as legitime item....thats why i ask.
When I change by back cover ( bought it as broken) I thought I could as well change the battery, which is very easy. I bought it not at Ebay but from a well known danish provider. It looks and feels exactly as the battery that was there before, and works fine now several months later. So I would look for one from a local provider for spare parts for oneplus.
