Recommend me a battery.

Hi,
I'm looking to replace the stock 1500mAh battery in my nearly 2-year-old Galaxy S. I've had a look around a notice their are some high capacity ones available. However, I'm not looking for those "extended" packs, it needs to have the same dimensions as the stock battery in order to fit into the case I use. I have no idea which manufacturers are reliable, can somebody help me out?

I've heard recommendations of Anker batteries of 1800mAh. You can find them easily on Amazon.

In one of the big battery threads here on the forum 3 1800mah batteries are compared: anker, polarcell and samsung. The samsung is the most expensive. The polarcell and anker are more or less the same price and most users said the polarcell performed the best. I have one of these and it's much better than the stock, so i sugest you buy a polarcell of amazon

You can't trust the mAh-specifications of most batterys anyway so I'd choose Polarcell since they last longer than the original ones.

my samsung oem 1800mah battery working awsome!

You can't add another 930ma capacity on top of the standard 1500mah without increasing the size. It's a lie

Hello everyone,
i have a SGS+ with the stock battery of 1650mAh. I am wondering if it worth to buy one of 1800mAh such us the Polarcell you mentioned.
Which is the (average) difference on hours?
Thanks in advance!

I would say if your battery needs replacing anyway then yes buy the anker or polarcell, but if your battery doesn't need replacing then its not really worth 'upgrading'.

I've been using Polarcell for more than 6 months now. Better than my aging stock and utterly reliable so far.

Just a warning. Seems it got extremely bad reviews and the following notice posted by amazon:

While this item is available from other marketplace sellers on this page, it is not currently offered by Amazon.com because customers have told us there may be something wrong with our inventory of the item, the way we are shipping it, or the way it's described here. (Thanks for the tip!)

$7.80 at the moment.
However if you don't mind a decent aftermarket battery I would recommend the Kamor with NFC available also from amazon.com for $11.99
I can confirm that it works just as well as the standard battery and so far I have been very happy with mine. So much so that I've ordered a second one

Just buy a zerolemon, hyperion,anker battery they are good ....
but for a genuine battery please buy from either the samsung customer service center or only samsung.com ...
even big retailers hav fakes nowadays ..!

I want a battery with the same size, but more MaH in it. xD

No, it doesn't have NFC since it's 400mAh more

Found this on Amazon, looks sketchy and ive contacted the seller but they wont give any approximate battery life details. Anyone know anything about these guys? I want to buy a spare battery, and a bigger battery would definitely be nice

They won't even respond to your question? That should already make you not wanna buy. Like others stated if battery is same as stock size but more juice...its probably bs. The 1 reviewer ask if it supports nfc, they say no. You should just buy spare stock LG battery.

One of their batteries has reviews on it where people say it's fake and only has stock capacity.

Battery Replacement Original? Where?

Hey Guys!
I'm currently stuck because I can't find any original battery online ://
If someone has a link please share!
Thanks

Yeah. I'm looking for a new battery too. There's lots on Amazon but I think most are fake.

How about this?

I ordered my camera module from here after 3 of them failing from AliExpress and it seems to be working flawlessly.
Here's a battery I found http://www.dragon-tt.com/xx.aspx?id=6197

There's a few on ebay that claim to be Mi original batteries. I bought this one today: https://www.ebay.ca/itm/201880990929

battery from the foto You added has only Chinese subtitles and a completely different label...everyone sells them as original but Your original looks different

Just bought a couple of supposedly "real" 4000mah batteries from Aliexpress. Both fake, only 2500mah. Pretty disappointing. Battery life is very ordinary, perhaps only 2hrs SOT. Any suggestions on a quality replacement?

Have You tried this?
https://pl.aliexpress.com/item/BM46...32806997500.html?spm=a2g0s.8937460.0.0.ssuzUS

Sercice Centre if its available
The best is to go to to service centre if there is in your area. otherwise, the screen would cost at least $5 if you go online and you'll have to take the pain of putting it together. I think ill have to do the same with my rn3.

No I haven't but I will try it next - just ordered one from Ebay since it was a bit cheaper.

I had mixed experience with NOHON. Some worked same as the originals, others failed at start (talking about different devices). On my old Redmi Note 2 one Nohon forced the phone to turn off completely when charging level reached 100%, another one worked fine. Had good experience with Nohon for LG G4, works perfectly fine.
I would give it a try, you can always ask for refund or new one if it fails.
GearBest also sells them for 11.50$

Funny I was just about to come here to post about my experience with NOHON batteries.
Long story short - I'm not impressed. This is a 3000mah battery, tops. I'm only getting 3hrs SOT. Oh and it just shut down on me when taking a photo. I can't recommend it but it is a little better than the fake one I tried before.

My battery died this morning, I'm really lost, should I waste more money on this phone since the battery could me 2000mah and it could die in a month?

It's official mi store price....

Yep you are right. I got around to installing the battery. Its 12g lighter than the official battery (53 vs 41g). God damn I hate ebay. It won't even allow me to write a review of the seller

Replacement Battery - which one is best?

Does anyone know where to get a replacement original or good quality OEM battery for the Mi5 (BM22)?
My battery life has turned pretty poor (sometime the phone will switch off when it claims it has 20% left) etc and I usually get just over 2.25 hrs SOT.
Have tried different ROMs, battery calibration etc but think the issue may be the battery itself so looking to replace.
All the ones on Aliexpress are OEM and no brands I recognize. Any advise on which is best?
Thanks, Chada

I'd like to know too, I can find many batteries on eBay and Aliexpress but I don't know if they're good or not

I bought one from ebay. It worked as good as a new one for a month. After that the battery doesn't want to charge. Checked with different chargers but Ampere shows the charging current at around 150mah. Don't buy from ebay.

That's been my experience with every single replacement battery I've ever ordered online. We have a local Xiaomi repair centre, I can message them to see if we can buy OEM batteries from them directly?

Yeah, apparently they are not willing to sell to the public directly. I can only submit my phone for repairs.

Hi, I got one from amazon two months ago and it is working fine . I am getting about 15 hours.

Please, tell us about the link. Thanks!

I just ordered a "Nohon" battery for my mi5. Specs are Li-Po (as original, not Li-Ion) and 2910/3000mAh. You pay a slight premium compared to the cheapest alternative on Ali, but maybe it's worth it. Dragon-tt has OEM batteries for sale (at least that's how they're promoting them), but they won't ship to Finland, so I couldn't order from there.
Anyone here who has experience with this brand's offerings? Let's see how it goes - I'll post back when I get it (in a month or so probably). *fingers crossed*
Edit: seems it'll take at least 2 months for it to arrive, since it can't be shipped by air to Finland.
