Anybody have already thought to replace N5 battery with a larger one? Do you know if there is still any avaible in some store?
As iFixit have shown is really easy to open and remove the battery, with the right tools, this could be an incentive to build one i suppose..
Dear all,
it is easy to find proposal for 3030mah batteries on web.
I check in the forum but I do not find review/comment about the satisfaction to integrate such batteries.
I wonder if one of you guys did try to integrate such battery?
Is it really bringing obvious advantage and is it easy to put in place?
Take care all,
Laurent
My battery is starting to get fat, but I'm too scared to disassemble the phone.
Has anyone had success replacing their batteries?
Sent from my XT890
No problem to disassemble it. First screws around screen, after that screws and tapes on motherboard and just tear out battery. If You can do it carefully You can even put back old battery.
Yes, very easy to disassemble. To make you comfortable with it, you go go on youtube. There are different video very clear about the procedure.
Seems the 3030mah battery does not wake up lots of interest.... I keep curious about it.
it's chinese.not better than the original.i've seen a lot of them....don't waste ur money.to maximize the battery life of the razr i just root,bebloat and greenify all the apps that you dnt use...mine lasts 2 days with data always on...

yeah. I guess there is no miracle and if people would be able to put 3030mah in a battery sizing 2000mah, we would probably already know.
Anyway, I did like you say. I rooted and put Omar Rom(July 16). So far, I am very suprised by the stability and the efficiency of this rom.
I saw two small defects that I can not report as no access yet to the developer chat room.
Then today, thanks to your update I discover greenify. Looks perfect and no ads in.
Thanks !
I had one of those for my XT925. Removed the Golden patch: big surprise: The Cell is labeled 1900mAh.
I put a new genuine Motorola battery in my phone last week. It is really easy to do.
6 screws around edge of phone. Pry off the plastic piece at mouthpiece, 3 screws under it, pry off Motorola badge at earpiece, 2 under it. Gently separate phone and disconnect ribbon cable. Then 7 screws around mother board, pry off battery connector bottom left and camera module at top. carefully lift board adn undo clip at earpiece and remove that section. Board should now lift off. Battery is stuck to back of phone with double sided tape that covers top half of battery. I used a lollipop stick to pry battery away. You can use a hairdryer to heat tape up to make it easier. Job done

Where do you buy your battery? Has the battery good health and capacity? I have to buy new battery too, but I don´t know where. A lot of sellers are on Ebay, but everything are unofficial batteries.
Hi All,
I am looking for extended battery as few more people here, but I find this one:
http://www.handtec.co.uk/samsung-galaxy-s5-extended-battery-kit-eb-eg900bbegww.html
looks like is genuine product, is there anyone who using this battery and could give me more details about life and about dimensions and maybe photos to compare with standard one, many thanks.
It is original samsung kit. Bought it 10 minutes ago. Will see if it add me more on screen time. will report later
Thanks for let me know, when arrive could you compare size how much bigger is to standard battery, and take some photos with and without cover on, to see real world examples as I spend few days searching on goggle an no luck about more information...

Will try to take some photos. I already have it, bought it from our local shop . Phone is heavier and a bit thicker. I could take some separately photos of back cover and battery. Don't have any camera to take photos then battery is in the phone.
edit: yeah this is legit, my previous suspicions are cleared now
I believe as is genuine product, it will remain same way as standard cover, handtec.co.uk have them in due: http://www.handtec.co.uk/samsung-galaxy-s5-extended-battery-kit-eb-eg900bbegww.html, looks very promising as 3500 mAh was my ideal size battery for good 2 days use.

It doesn't say on the webpage, but does anybody know if that back cover still gives water and dust resistance?
I also can't seem to find this Genuine Battery kit on any other website, is this absolutely confirmed to be genuine?
I actually feel very suspicious about it because I can't seem to find Samsung making an announcement about this accessory either.
They made announcements about previous new battery packs.

Just find this seller on ebay: http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/201132887569?ssPageName=STRK:MEWAX:IT&_trksid=p3984.m1423.l2649
and it saying: Waterproof feature retained, and is genuine Samsung product: EB-EG900BBEGWW, looks very promising.

Its genuine battery kit. Yes back cover still gives water and dust resistance + its harder than the original cover that comes with phone.
P.S. today charged battery for the first time. Will see how long i could use it till next charge . Sorry didn't have time to take some pictures. Will try to do it today in the evening.

OK. Found my work iPhone and took some pictures. Here is how it's look on the phone and some back cover photos. It's easier to give link to my dropbox gallery. Here it is LINK
Good morning, thanks for photos, looks exactly I was hoping for and not too bulky, I ordering mine from amazon.de as is only £24, in uk is £35 , and still will be send to me from amazon.uk as I done with few items before
Nice, i paid £31
I don't know if it's my eyes messing with me, but it doesn't look that much thicker.
It's not very thick. But if you look at photo there is camera, you will see that camera isn't popped up anymore as it is in original back cover. With this battery cover camera is hidden in cover. Don't know if anyone understood what i said . Just compare camera area between original back cover with photo from my gallery.

I am glad some people find this battery useful as for me is good compromise between standard and brick battery zero lemon or similar, I just hope I could find rugged case this phone with this battery fit in, as I really like tech21 impact case - but no chance will fit in, but for outdoor I am using NewTrent rugged case and I finding one of best case available: http://www.amazon.com/New-Trent-Ultra-thin-Shockproof-Compatible/dp/B00KB9AWEE, and reviews from over 500 people saying same thing, only I hope I can somehow manage to accommodate S5 with small extended battery in to this case too
YES! Was waiting for the OEM Extended Battery with all the features retained. As someone in the States, get the hell on bringing this over Samsung!
FYI, just because it says Samsung doesn't mean its legit. Samsung doesn't have it listed, and if you call they have no idea about it.

I agree with you. However, it should still be close to the listed capacity since you can tell it is definitely larger than the OEM one. Now, that doesn't necessarily speak to its quality. But typically the fakes like to list capacities much higher than the actually produce.

I believe is genuine as is attached on Handtec website original OEM number from Samsung, customer service-support many times don't know about product manufacture offer, and could be is only for limited regions.
A friend lent me their J5 battery to test with for a few mins after I noticed how similar the size was to my S4's battery. It didn't go in fully, but enough to connect. I tried to boot the phone and it actually worked! I don't have the battery anymore so if anyone has a J5 battery they can mod to fit in the S4 that would be interesting. I would have 'negotiated' it into the phone but didn't want to mess up the battery as it wasn't mine. If it does end up fitting fine, then getting replacement batteries may become easier. Buying broken J5's off eBay could yield genuine Samsung batteries that arnt that old, compared to genuine S4 batteries that are at least 2 years old anyway.
The S4 battery has two tongues at the top of the battery on the left and right. These tongues, which are nothing more than a strip of plastic, fit into matching grooves on the back plate/midframe. The J5 battery appears to have the same dimensions as the S4, based upon the pictures I've seen, but only has one tongue on one side of the battery. The other side has no tongue at all.
To get the J5 battery to fit in the S4 battery compartment, the back plate/midframe must be removed and one set of grooves - the right side based upon pictures - must be filed down or cut away. This assumes of course that the pictures are correct and the batteries have the same dimensions.

That explains why I couldn't fit it in all the way. I have a spare mid frame for testing purposes. So might try that and see how long it lasts.if it lasts a lot longer then I'm definitely going to order some J5 batteries. I'll also check nfc if I have time.
They are the same dimensions, I compared it to my S4 battery briefly.
It would be good to have an alternative we can use, as in the US the S4 battery is a "support only product" while in the UK you can still purchase the battery direct from Samsung.

And where I live, import laws are so tight that your not allowed to import batteries in! Not to mention you have to pay out of your ass to get one... And not even genuine.. rip off xD
J5 and S4 battery dimensions comparison
I compared both batteries (J5 and S4) and:
- it's a difference on their height (S4 battery is almost 1 mm greater than J5 battery)
- the corners tongues from top battery are different;
- the three little tongues from bottom, on S4 are located at the edge and on J5 are located on the middle of battery bottom;
The conclusion is the you can easily fit J5 battery on S4 but no so easy if you want to use S4 battery on J5.
I had an idea.
I previously owned an S10e that was second hand and the phone's battery was so bad it couldn't last through the day.
S10e battery ( EB-BG970ABU )
I was craving for a big battery so I ordered a Samsung M51 with a large 7000mAh battery but I still cant get over the feeling of a small phone in my hands. I loved my old A5 2017 and s10e is almost the same size.
So I was thinking maybe I can upgrade the battery. Both S10 and S10+ have a bigger battery as in capacity and dimensions. But then I looked for an earlier phone. S9?
S9+ battery ( EB-BG965ABU )
It has the same connector but I don't know the dimensions so I was hoping any1 can help me with this case.
Thx to all. <3

The S10e stock battery measures 42mm wide, and 71mm tall; not counting the circuit piece, which adds another 5mm to height. My battery is still glued in, so I can't measure its thickness (yet). I too have been thinking about changing my battery (downsizing), but the apparently attached circuitry is puzzling:
Thx soo much for this information. Im searching far and wide and the closest thing is the s9+ battery as mentioned. I will try to find some infortation and wll go on from there as im probably not the only one trying to get the most out of a great phone.
Ohhhh ok then.
I asked store owners on aliexpress selling batteries and they were kind enough to send me this. It's sooo close.
So it appears alternative batteries come with their own attached circuitry on top. Might work for you @YoungPumpkin but probably not for my wish to downsize. Your wish for more mAHr capacity will hinge on making larger battery fit. Phones of the past did this via thicker battery and special back cover with a little buldge.
I could desolder the cercuit of the pther battery and solder it to the new one as thats how they are connected right? If i wanted to fit the bigger battery in the s10e i would have to modify the phones metal body and thats not a problem. But idk if it would work software side of things. And what do you mean by downsizing? Why do you need a smaller battery?
I prefer a light weight phone; had S4 Mini for years. It was under 4 oz. Was forced to upgrade due to poor voice connections due to carriers changing to VoLTE. S10e was the least of the heavy weight evils for me. I have chargers everywhere, on my desk, next to bed, near easy chair, in my car, etc. The lowest my S10e battery has ever been is 82%. I'd like to take an ounce off its weight.
Ohhh. Then battery is ur only way of waight reduction or maybe if u find a custom plastic back. Thx for your help anyway.
The s7 edge had a 3600 mAH battery , 100 plus than the s9 , and if ur into desoldering, you surely could do it , and if you do, post a guide as well .
I think soldering the chipset of the battery isn't the problem. It has to fit or at least almost fit without destroying the chassis too much. I"ll check the dimensions of the batteries and compare them.
Back in the day they used to swap the s7e's battery onto S6 flats , so surely you will find the proper dimensions for it , also the phone is a tad smaller than the s9 , close to the s10e's dimensions so by that logic, the battery should fit better ?
here's something to give you an ideea about soldering the connector thingie on the other battery Battery connector swap
the soldering part is the easy part. I'm worried the battery won't fit because of the size. s10e's battery is roughly
I just noticed there is a code on the battery that determines its size 1/CP6/44/77 [s10e] and that's where it bottles up.
damn, s10e's battery is THAT small? pff, what's the size of the s9+'s then ?
i think the s9+ is pretty close
Maybe if you flip that top connector , in case it is flexible , then there shouldnt be a size difference issue .
Also dont they make the cutouts for the batteries bigger now, to allow them to expand (since the note 7 issue ) ?
Let us know of your progress, I have an s10e as well & it's brand new for now, but if you manage to get a bigger battery in it, i will open the back glass too .
I was planning to upgrade the battery when I bought the s10e the second time but I wasn't sure so I opened the form to talk out the possibilities. as of right now my battery isn't that bad but when it does get bad I might upgrade because I like the form factor of the phone.
Hey there,
I've been searching around for a topic like this since forever now, only thing i could find is a YouTube video which wasn't clear enough.
Since my battery health was already dying on s10e i thought about an upgrade instead of replacement but couldn't find similar dimensions to s10e's battery.
Then i got a juice pack but it made the phone bulkier and the continuous charge would heat up the phone + increment on the charge cycles of the battery.
Already tried s9+ battery but it doesn't fit in the frame horizontally
Though vertically it was a perfect fit and a bit thicker overall
I replaced the complete pcb, removed the battery's covering and adhesive strips , didn't make much of a difference either.
I've contacted a lithium ion battery manufacturing unit located in china
Who make custom batteries with your preferred dimensions but in Bulk and they were ready to ship 20 pieces for 7$ each .
But i highly doubt their performance or long term usage when compared to the Samsung manufactured ones .
Also you'd have to desolder the current pcb from your phones battery or else source PCBs from china in bulk again .
How much battery does it stick out horizontally? And what would be the custom battery capacity? I think the only option is a s9+ battery to my beliefs.
