Hey guys!
i've read some good reviews on this battery here in the forum so i've ordered
one from ebay.de
I have to say i've struggeled with my 1500mah oem samsung stock battery
for my galaxy s1 for some time now.
i've just received my PolarCell battery today
and i'd love to hear some advices on how to use it in the best way from the start
so i can maximaize the battery functionality.
i've thought to charge it to 100% while the phone is off
and then calibarate.
do you recommand let it discharge till 0 in the first usage time
and then charge to 100 again?
any advice will be welcomed here
btw ...
thank you guys very much for the tip of purchasing a battery as such
hope ill find it as a very good product!
Do it work well?

hmm after first charge i need to caliberate right?
let it full to 0 and charge to 100?
or is it bad for th li-on battery on first use to full to 0?
Just charge it to full and use it normally. You can discarge it to 0 until the phone shuts off it won't hurt the battery as it has some protection built in and it never drains under 3.5v.
But just to know li-ion batteries doesn't like deep discharges.
I also use a polar cell battery for 6 months and i am very satisfied with its performace, better than with stock 1500mah and better than armani 1650mah.
So it's the best battery for the galaxy s ?
I have been using a Polarcell 1800 mah battery for about 6 months now, still working great.. atleast compared to my over 1 yr old stock battery.
When i got my Polarcell, i charged it to 100% ,making sure it really was 100% by unplugging and plugging a few times while following the mV values on BatteryCalibration app.
Then just calibrated it and used it normally until about 1-2%, then charged it full again and started using it like i use any other battery(not paying attention on what battery level i recharge and so on). Summary is= going with this method and working great for months !!
I have very good experience with PollarCell batteries on Nokia phones.
:good:
very can I buy this battery?
Hello. how much this cost and where can i buy it ?
Thanks :victory:
How much improvement do you have by uding this battery?
Thanks

Bought it on amazon.com for about 12 Euros. Have read really good things in darkys forum...Did not have time to test it until now, though...
Edit:
About your question how to charge the battery: First use it till 0, then fully charge it without disconnecting it. But if you didn't do it like that, I am sure it will not explode either...

I've also been using a Polarcell 1800mAh battery on my Galaxy S for awhile now. The difference is night and day with my old stock one (which I think was dying). I used to have to charge in the middle of the day at times with the stock one, now sometimes when I get home at night the battery is still at 70%.
I got mine off ebay:

where can i got it?

Hi,
Well, i had like 3% yesterday on my phone before I went to bed, it charged for about 6h and it only went to 47% normally it should be full charged at 6h.
So what can I do about it?
I'm not using an original HTC-cable because mine is broken, so i bought one from Ebay in hongkong this one
For me it's the same as my previous one so.. I don't really know what the problem is! There are no apps running in the background because i'm using juicedefender.
I'm not charging my phone with my PC.
Please help me!
How old is the battery? And is it in good condition?
Did the charging problems start when you first changed cables or not? Does charging with the phone off make a difference to the charge speed for you?

Don't trust these chargers you get from ebay. They may not be the same as the original(especialy if it was shipped from HongKong). Did you charge your phone by USB? Try charging with the wall charger and see how long it takes.
I've used the charger of my girlfriend the day before yesterday and there were no problems.
Im going to try my brother's BlackBerry charger its the same as a htc charger.
Lets hope for the best, thanks for reply

Yes BlackBerry charger should work fine. Also some Samsung chargers can do the job

Thank you so much! I've buyed a charger and my phone is charging for max 20 min and the battery increased already by 10%!
Thank you really!!
An other question in you signature I see that you have an anker battery, is it a good choice to buy it?

Yes I really suggest you buy it, it has made a world of difference for me. It's worth the money trust me!
And 10% for 20 min doesn't seem quick to me unless you were using the phone in the meanwhile or you had more than 70% of charge
I was using my phone and had more than 70%
And for the anker battery going to buy it
Mugem is also a good battery. I have both mugen and Anker. I get more juice with my mugen. It just depends what your looking for want a bit more time, choose mugen. However Anker is priced more reasonably. In my experience mugen has lasted longer than my Anker but it takes a few days to build up to a longer charge . After a few days you will really see the difference. Hope this helps. Best wishes

I get approx. 24 hrs with heavy usage.. around 2 hrs of music 1-2hrs chaton\whatsapp and sometimes games as well with wifi on 24/7
is there any battery with larger capacity ?
Seems these battery from flipkart are really good I ordered 1 from here
http://www.flipkart.com/samsung-eb5...acker=from-search&query=samsung i9003 battery
& was delivered in 2 days time charged it fully & then discharged it fully repeated this for 4 cycles & after that I am now getting 26-30hrs with moderate usage. Now my charge doesn't loose over suddenly & phone hasn't randomly rebooted since last 15 days or so as it was happening with older battery below 40% I was sure that battery will give up any time.
A good practice is always fully discharge (let the phone shut off) then recharge fully without using the phone if possible so now I use the phone for almost 24hrs without recharging & then charge the phone only in night when I am not using it at all.
I bought one for my SL recently as well from flipkart and am extremely happy with its backup. My phone now lasts more than 1.5 days on medium to heavy usage.
I took this one

Not really imo.... attached are stats as of right now

Why does amazon lump every review together from different products from the same manufacturer? The first review is for the 7500mAh monster battery.

From what I've read else where Zerolemon are quite decent. I've just started using on of these and there's a noticeable increase over my stock battery. Not incredible, but I get through a day easily now, even with heavy use.
I also read that someone tested one of these and it was closer to 2800mah though.

I have these batteries too as well as ZL's 7500mah battery, but the thing about charging to full and draining to empty is a myth. Look up some research on Lithium Ion, it's pretty widely agreed that the practice of "battery calibration" is obsolete when it comes to the active chemical properties of lithium, which is actually healthiest at 50%.

Hey guys i bought these but i have a problem. I leave the battery on the charger and when the led turns blue i remove it. After swapping this battery with the one in the phone i get like 70% five or take and this happened many times. Does anyone what is the problem?
hello guys.
i am satisfied with mi 5 battery life while using wifi.
but when i use simcard net ( 3g or lte ) , the battery drains so much fast.
less than 3-4 hours of sot.
so i want to know is there any way or external power case for increasing the battery life ?
ty.
I second this. I haven't been able to find any "battery case" for this phone. Any help would be awesome.
Just curious to what ROMs and apps are you guys using regularly?
at getting regularly about 6 hours SOT in like 2 days of usage....
using Mi-Globe Rom stable 8.1.6.0
better flash a good rom and optimize it...
I have the same small battery life trouble..
I tested w/ many miui and custom roms and optimized as much as possible but it did not help.
My case is quite weird that even power on or off, with sim inserted or not and Flight mod on or off does not differ the usage grafic drop down line and time..
Total battery life is 5-7% per hour.
Despite replacing battery w/ a new one the result remains the same..
I would recommend do a complete wipe even for internal storage and flashing global stable or nauget beta from miflash tool......Then give it a few days ...Should work
What rom you use? im used MultiROM 8.1.6.0 only charge 1 time for 2 day use.
Everyday my mi5 just for call 2 hours, spotify 2 hours, checking email and other stuff like facebook, xda, miui forum 2 hours.
Why don't consider getting those power bank case? Those that slip behind the phone and a charger tip goes to the charging port.
