Buy a bigger battery?

Hi,
It is possible to buy a 3000mAh battery for Nexus 5 ? Not a battery case.
Thank you.

...not a battery either? 5000mah is slim plug in when phone use permits.

I search a battery like : http://youtu.be/VSGNUrpwIno
But a 3000mAh battery.

The n5 doesn't have a replaceable battery.

but the battery on the inside can be removed and replaced... even if it isn't the conventional way, it sort of is pseudo replaceable...

Well, check amazon. If they exist, they are there....if not, they don't.

No.

Be careful, even on devices with a replaceable battery, extented battery (like 3500 mAh, etc) instead of 2000mAh are, in general, fakes ones.
(Already tested to check it with a "Gold 2700 mAh" battery for an Optimus 2x. The battery died 3 day laters and, during thoses 3 day, I did'nt notice any betters battery stats...

(search it, I'm a new user, can't post links...)
Just have found this, but I would be suspicious.

Most non OEM batteries have false claims to mAh. Search "battery boss false claims"

just ordered a 5000mah extended battery ...

I took a chance and just ordered a 5000mah extended battery because of the fast draining power with my Galaxy S5 Mini (G800)!!! Will report the result later

It must have. The guy was so excited he posted he made the exact same post on android central and didn't update either... My guess is that means it either caused zero issues and thus had no reason to come back and report... or it fried his phone and he couldn't come back and report.

There are some batteries with special back covers, the battery kind of sticks out.

These appear to be the best. No way in hell is that 5000mAh battery legit.

Normaly you need a New Kernel that supports the extendet Amh.

[Q]: What is the best replacement battery?

Hi,
My original battery is no longer retaining the charge, and is draining too quickly.
could you please recommend a good replacement battery that will fit in the standard case.
cheers

Just buy a new Samsung original battery? Or get the 3500mhA from Samsung.

[TESTING] 3670mAh Extended Slim Battery

Purchased UNBRANDED 3670mAh battery meant for the G4 Play (we use the same battery), will post SOT information/burn photos here.
https://www.ebay.com/itm/New-Rechar...la-Moto-G4-Play-XT1607-CellPhone/182477310377
Are there any reputable companies making a 3670mAh battery for our phone GK40?

here is moto g5 forum
you think the battery have the same dimensions?

Lithium-Ion 4550 mAh
Attached photos of purchased battery. Battery itself displays as 4550mAh with 3.94V reading from the multimeter. Can anyone identify the maker?
Confirming fitment in XT1676 and powering up, phone functioning properly. Will be doing a few cycles on the OEM battery to compare aftermarket results.

Bah! Of course they only ship to the united states.

where are you bought from? Thanks

Wow so nice to hear this..! Stock 2.8Ah is so small and barely makes a day. Do tell us updates if your "hack" becomes successful and also share some screenshots..

Hiya, any update on this? 4550mAh sounds too good to be true, but I'd love to hear how your mileage has been with this

Any source for that battery which sells to Europe/ Germany. Could not find one myself.

Just ordered this extended battery with 3400mAh which also delivers to Europe.

You did a runtime measurement?

Not a precise measurement. Orginal runs about a day. This one half a day with not much activity. It has a jump from 30% to zero. I had several full charges/ discharges before. And several attempts in trying.

lithium batteries should be kept between 30 and 90 %. It's worse to discharge them.
You could charge to only 80% but 90% is where on most phones the battery statistics reset

Sure, these are recommended usage conditions. But jump from 30% to 0% likely means defective battery, which cannot hold its capacity.
Normal battery should go smooth from 100% to 0%. Well, it may be not a straight line, but under constant average load graph should be near linear.
If it's jumping and suddendly goes 0% it's something wrong with battery. You may still try to calibrate it by full discharge/full charge several times,
but high quality batteries usually don't require it. Also I think high capacity battery must be thicker than original. If not, it's most likely a fake.

Yea, I know. I agree

anyone found a decent battery yet? For Hiking I tend not to carry a heavy powerbank (even not a light one) but a spare lightweight battery... I do not understand why Lenovo is providing a changeable battery but not selling any...

Sorry, been away without notifications. Ran battery for several weeks and notice no significant increase in battery life - had screenshots of usage but unfortunately had a bad flash (Dont use SD as internal storage).
Decided to stick with the OEM battery, and will continue purchasing them if they go out or need to swap. Because of build quality, coping with a dead phone is better than one on fire or overheating.
But if Motorola or Anker releases an extended slim battery...

I replaced the battery 3 times, still I only can use 2500-2600 mAh Capacity - help

Hello,
I replaced my old battery because it lost its 30% capacity. Then I bought 2 times original Samsung Battery and 1 time a super expensive battery from Germany.
Everytime when I test it, I use only 2500-2600 mAh capacity of my Galaxy S7.
I did calibrate my battery, cleaned the gauge multiple times, reset it. It didn't help.
I just notice that my phone charge only until 4.825 V. Do you have any idee?

Maybe a problem with the apps not the battery itself?
Those apps are not 100% accurate anyway, they cannot be as you never run your battery to 0% while the app is running

I used 3 methodes to measure it. I dont think so. How is your phones fg_full_voltage value?

What is more likely? That the apps methods are not accurate, or 3 new batteries all have 2500-2600 mAh capacity?
The apps method are known to be inaccurate so you can already forget about those results
Where is the location of that file?
There is a code you can enter to reset battery stats too
dial: *#0228#
Press Quick Start
Connect Charger so phone is charging
Turn Off the phone and leave off until battery is charged to 100%
Power on phone
Battery stats should be recalibrated

I did that already, hmm the location is /sys/class/power_supply/battery/fg_full_voltage and in the same folder 2*fg_fullcapnom shows the capacity of your battery.
You can be right with the inaccurate apps, but the apps showed me the real value with a lenovo zuk z2 and galaxz s8.That's why I'm worried

eBay only sell fakes fakes and more fakes, Amazon probably too, unless you bought an original Samsung battery from Samsung there is a high chance that all those batteries are not as high capacity as advertised

My battery life is terrible with my S7 flat, so I took my phone to the Samsung Official workshop, I thought that a brand new battery will fix the problem, the technician made some tests and he tell me that although my battery was fine with 80% wearing but my battery drain issue is caused by a faulty board.

I'm pretty sure you bought the fakes ones. Try to buy your 4th battery from a Samsung service center!

My Third is not a fake one, it has 24m Warranty and is Made in German. The problem is with phone and OS. Nougat won't let you use your all battery capacity. If you dont believe me, use accubattery you will get max. 90%.
