Anybody have any links to the best quality replacement battery for the photon Q? I believe its the same as the droid 4. Currently looking at one on amazon made by "onite" as the "OEM" motorola ones that are listed online seem to get terrible reviews (could be fakes Im guessing?):

Golden oldie. Any new battery will be better than the old one ?
The problem with the OEM motorola batteries on ebay is that they're often old. I bought one for my Droid 4 in late 2014 and the battery was manufactured in late 2012, it was a "fresh" battery but almost as old as the one that came in the device, and only a marginal improvement. It might be better to have a newer chinese battery than an old motorola that's sat on a shelf for 3 years.
Hello, does anyone tryed some of this one? Lenmar Replacement Battery for Motorola EB41 (Model Number CLZ623M, Capacity (mAh) 1925). They promice a little bit better capacity, but I can't find any reviews on it. Thanks.

Hi,
My touch pro is just over 2 yrs old and the battery life is shot so time for a replacement.
Don't want to buy an extended batt as the TP is thick enough already.
Anyone got any experiences of batts made by Cameron Sino? There seem to be quite a few on ebay at reasonable prices for the 1350mAh type.
I imagine HTC have discontinued their batteries for the TP so ebay ones are likely to be old (even if never used)?
Some guidance on a 'best buy' brand would be great!
Thanks

Still using the OEM, without a hitch (getting at least 48 hours on a single charge). I bought one from cellphoneshop (extended version) and it seems to be no better than my OEM. I have no experience with eBay and truth be told you might be better off with doing a search, than going with eBay (personal preference here).
I've had my Galaxy S 4G for several months now, and recently the battery life has lessened during daily use.
I originally used a 1700mAh genuine Samsung battery (forgive me it may have been 1650), but switched over to some backup batteries I have that are 1500mAh.
The 1500's don't have the same life, so I'd like to buy something better.
I found a 2000mAh on eBay, but would that require a new battery door? The seller does not indicate the battery size. Is it possible to get a 2000mAh battery for my 4G S that is the same size as the original battery?
Any suggestions and response are appreciated. Thanks! - Jamie
as far as I know, there's only one fairly decent battery that will fit your phone as is. and that would be the 1800 mAh battery. there's a thread about it in the accessories section, you should look it up
Thanks for your suggestion. Doesn't seem to be the sort of question many want to answer.
They sell 1800mAh batteries on eBay for 2.99, so I think its worth a shot. I just don't want to get a battery that requires a new door, or makes my phone thicker.
Just saying, you get what you paid for. Honestly, IMO you should try to get the OEM samsung battery for the epic 4g touch, or ankler 1800mAh batteries. there was a battery thread somewhere around the vibrant accesories board which someone tested a bunch of batteries, and a lot of the cheaper off-brands had a lower mAh rating than advertised
We shall see. I actually ended up ordering a 2000mAh off eBay for 11.49. The battery was listed as a fit for my phone. I have actually had some good experience in the past buying third-party batteries, specifically for Motorola phone, but, I've also had poor experiences buying knock-off batteries for blackberries that were packaged to look like the genuine thing.
I'll post back, maybe in a week or so when the battery is delivered and I test it.
Hi there, I bought a used XT1225 a couple months ago and the battery is worn (dying at ~35%). Did anyone here do a battery swap? I'm used to fixing my devices by myself, so I only need guidance on where to get a genuine battery (trustworthy eBay/amazon sellers or other online shops), or recommendations on third-party brands that make decent batteries for the quark (saw some listings of this "x-longer" brand on eBay but I've never heard of it before - I would rather get something like Mugen Power or Zerolemon).
Thanks in advance!
Do searches for: OEM Motorola battery Droid Turbo XT1254.
Yes, I know you have an XT1225, but it's also a Quark and is better known of the Quarks.
Here's one:
For Motorola Droid Turbo XT1254 EQ40 OEM Genuine Replacement Battery SN5949N
http://www.ebay.com/itm/For-Motorol...ine-Replacement-Battery-SN5949N-/252380471441
Some like these also sell you the battery + tools to help you replace it:
New Genuine Replace Battery For Motorola Droid Turbo XT1254 SNN5949A EQ40 +Tools
http://www.ebay.com/itm/New-Genuine...68b01b8&pid=100005&rk=6&rkt=6&sd=262781348810
This one lists XT1225 in the title as well, just to reassure you it's compatible. But if it fits for the Droid Turbo, it fits for all Quarks.
OEM Motorola EQ40 SNN5949A Internal Battery Droid Turbo XLTE XT1254 XT1225

You don't have to buy from either of those guys, I'm just giving you examples and you can use the information in those listings to then search for other sellers if you wish.
Apparently EQ40 seem to be the part number in the Motorola system.
@ChazzMatt I have done some research and bumped into some of these you linked. My issue here is assuring the battery is of decent quality, so my phone won't explode or have the battery wear fast. Most of these OEM batteries are not good quality, I don't want to risk getting a faulty one and having to wait a couple of months to have it replaced.

If it's really OEM, they are good quality. OEM is an acronym that means "original equipment manufacturer" -- it means the ORIGINAL part the phone was manufactured with. "Replacement" part (in this case, battery) is what you don't want, or "OEM-equivalent" -- which means they are saying it's "as good as" OEM. Sometimes it's not.
I did list some replacement batteries just because sometimes sellers may call it that for people who don't know what to look for.
But if it's truly OEM, then it's exactly what was put in the phone by the manufacturer.
Now if you are saying they are lying and it's not truly an OEM part, I understand your hesitation.
The thing to generally look out for is listings which state a capacity higher than the original battery.
The Quark has a "non-removable" battery and a "sealed" back cover. The only battery ever produced for it (to the best of my knowledge) was the 3900mAh EQ40 battery --- no official high-capacity batteries/extended backplates. Li-Ion and Li-Po have remained largely the same for at least a decade, never mind the last couple years; any seller claiming a larger capacity in the same form-factor is full of it.
It looks like the batteries were originally manufactured by Hanrim Postech Electric Co. LTD. Just looking real quick, there's at least one being sold on eBay that's labeled by "Pro-Power Communications Co. LTD".
Personally, I'd buy one that's from the company who originally made them, but that's just me...it's entirely possible that Pro-Power took over manufacture of replacements for Motorola at some point, and make a perfectly adequate battery. I dunno, pop your back cover off and see who manufactured your current battery.
Buy from sellers with high feedback, avoid high-capacity/gold-labeled/non-OEM-labeled batteries, and you'll be fine. Batteries with fancy labels are generally just plain old OEM batteries with the label replaced; effectively mystery batteries. Don't pay extra for them unless you know it's from a reputable brand who's known to use good cells (e.g. Mugen).
If you want to get a battery that might last a tad bit longer, try asking a seller if they would be willing to send you one of the latest-dated cells in their inventory, so you get one that's "fresher". Batteries have a limited shelf life, after all, and the clock's always ticking.
Another question: I just saw a refurb unit listing, this battery was took from a phone, which includes the wireless charging coil, but most listings for the battery don't include the coil. Is the coil easy to move from one battery to another just by heating?
anyone successfully replace this battery? mine is starting to die VERY quickly nowadays and i'm not willing to let this phone go yet. i found what seems to be OEM battery on ebay and was thinking of doing the replacement. just want to see if there's been any success or stories of failure. thanks all.
I bought 3 Anker batteries last year and have been rotating them but I'm looking for one more unit as I'm going to Nepal and having an extra fully charged battery is really handy. The Anker batteries seem to have settled at £13.99 on Amazon, the POlarcells are £19.99 but the Ravpower ones are only £10.99 and have good reviews. I'm not a fan of the "genuine Samsung" roulette and would be happy to pick one of these 3, but so far the Ravpower one looks the most likely.
I've had no issues with the official Samsung batteries for the Note 4. Thought I did, turns out it was a issue with the Marshmallow OS update that stops you from fully charging a new battery on it. I can still charge the battery that originally came with my device though.

as I know there is no new original batteries for samsung note4 for sale at this moment. you should search for analogues. I know that Craftman batteries are good as original.
Well, after buying a Ravpower battery and going on my trip I'm very disappointed to say that they've all failed - one of the Anker units swelled as has the Ravpower one and the remaining 2 Anker ones randomly shut the phone down, and not just when they're running low either - it's happened when the battery is at 90% at times!
Anker have zero stock so issued refunds and I'm waiting to hear back from Ravpower but a quick look at their amazon.co.uk listing shows that they're out of stock here in the UK.
I'm in need of at least one fully functioning battery to test the phone (I've installed a different ROM to be sure it wasn't a software issue or rogue app). The only non generic one I can find is this - has anyone had any experience with them?
What about any other options - with such an active note 4 community, surely we're all in need of new batteries at some point - what do you use? (I don't want to spend £35-40 for a new Sammy unit on a phone that cost me £150!)
I'm hesitant to recommend this due to the aforementioned 'roulette', but I notice MyMemory have some 'new and improved one from the original manufacturer'. (can't post a link as a new poster)
I've ordered Samsung SD cards from MyMemory before and they've been fine, so they obviously have some distributor link to Samsung - not just random suppliers from Amazon. They also sell a small variety of Samsung accessories - ie they aren't a general mobile tat vendor.
However the bit that worries me is the 'new and improved' and 'The Note 4 battery has increased autonomy performance and fits perfectly in your smartphone.' - I haven't studied this, but I'm surprised that OEM batteries would change design after the phone's release.
They also have a 2-power battery - I've heard positive things about 2-power, but no experience myself.

I've also bought decent stuff from Mymemory as well but firstly they're too cheap and secondly the QR code is missing the unique serial number that genuine batteries should have (and are on the ones that Samsung UK were selling a couple of months ago). The S/N printed on the battery is actually a batch number.
I've had a couple of Ankers fail and was refunded without hassle by Anker. I have 3 RAVPower and one has been in use since last September and has been 'fast charged' almost daily with, so far, no problems.
Last year I would have bought one or two, tested them for capacity and then challenged the supplier when they fell short but I'm pretty much fed up with testing them now plus I have a decent stock for my Note 4s,
I have my wife's OG Pixel (international version) that I set-up for my son. The battery life is horrible. AccuBattery shows 75%. Thinking of replacing the battery but I don't want to spend the time and money unless I can get a decent one. Many on eBay and amazon are Chinese knock-offs that are probably worse than what is in the phone now.
Anyone have any luck with certain brands or sellers? What should i look for.
Thanks in advance.
