1600mah Andida Battery For Motorola BP6X - Milestone 2

hey guys,
just wanted to let you know that i've found this website where you can buy this item for only $8.49 - bargain!
i have used andida batteries in the past for 2 other phones and they've not only increased battery life but they are also quite reliable. (eg. My x10 mini pro used to heat up when charging but with the andida it didn't)
so here is the website . check it out:
search in google - obostore 1600mAh andida bp6x
(dunno why server wont let me put a website here)
hope you all find it useful!
i need to wait for mine to get here which will take 2 weeks.
i'll update everyone on its performance when i can

Will i need new Back Case?
Sent from my T-Mobile G1 using Tapatalk

the website saids it fits original device.
so no back cover needed apparently!

Personally, I'd be wary about these knock-off batteries (especially being so cheap as well!).

me too! but i've used andida batteries for the last 2 phones i've had
and they not only worked better but lasted longer!
obviously i will check the labels and make sure its a legit battery.
still waiting for it to arrive!

stock batt is 1400mAh, so what's the profit from 200mAh more?

It is an increase of 14%

its not a bad increase. if you can get 24hrs out of the standard battery then you can get nearly 3 and half hours more with this..

I really don't trust on "higher batteries".
Battery is a thing that, if anything gets wrong, your phone could be damaged.

i bought 1 of the batteries but i have a small problem since as soon as i put on the phone instead of the battery indicator i get a ? and when i charge it it says battery cannot be charged please use original motorola battery.
any help?

any help pls?

Milestone 2 works well only with original battery bp6x and bp7x, probably because of an embedded control chip
You can charge your non-original battery with a external dock, there's nothing else you can do

have you tried contacting the supplier and asking them? that would be the obvious first port of call! maybe its a duff one.

I will try that i am just asking here to see if anyone had the same issue

It is well known (at least in the german speaking board I am mostly active on) that the Milestone 2 only accepts Original BP6X (maybe BP7X? never heard of them) Batterys.
As patton82 wrote, you can charge it externally and use it, thou you won't see how much percent you have left nor charge it inside the MS2, so at best it is a "emergency battery" to carry with you charged.
There are problems even with "original" BP6X due to a lot of illegal copys of them which look legit at first (differences are quite small) and some online-shops sell them even without knowing they are not original ones.

thanks for your help then

google search

I had da exact same problem with a non-original 2400mAH battery. I Inserted it and it worked fine jus' didn't show da battery percentage, simply not being able to read the battery because it wasn't an original, and jus' showing a "?" icon instead.
It was very annoying, seen as I was excited to have an extended battery to make up for the POOR Milestone 2 battery, but in the end I jus' contact the seller and was issued a refund. Brought it off Amazon frm a third party seller by da way.
Anyway, would flashing a new/specific rom GREATLY improve the battery life of my Milestone 2? Or is there an alternative extended life battery that is compatible. Someone please help, and sorry for da story. Thanks

Does anyone know where it is possible to get original motorola BP6X batteries for sure? Preferably not for a price worth half the price of the phone now
I've few of those ultra-cheap chinese batteries as a backup battery in case my main battery dies. However It looks like my main battery won't hold charge as when new and I would like to have that original battery capacity once again (plus cheapo battery backup ofc)

I bought this battery and it's amazing. It lasts for days using a stock ROM with Juicedefender... I guess custom ROMs won't need JD.

2x Chichitec batteries with charger

So I'm looking to get a spare battery and a separate battery charger and came across this:
http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00520BC3M/ref=ox_sc_sfl_title_2?ie=UTF8&m=AE3JA6SQN3O85
No reviews so far so I'm just wondering if anyone has any experience with Chichitec batteries in general. $30 for 2 batteries (1700 mah) and a charger seems like a good deal, that way I don't really have to spend time being plugged in. Too bad the battery door isn't as easy to open as I'd like to...

If you get them let me know how they work.

Cheapo batteries tend to cause perm damage. A el cheapo amazon battery for my g2 bricked one phone and almlost permabricked its replacement.
G2x with faux AOSP and faux orange kernel. [email protected] 5107 quadrant.

I don't know why people insist on a spare battery to change out each time the other one dies. Not only is it not practical if you can't charge the battery outside of the phone, but you'll be putting wear and tear on the battery cover and sooner or later you'll find it won't sit tight but will be loose in it's fit. That's why I just decided to invest in the 4500mah Mugen, even though I got a free replacement stock battery from Tmobile.

Chichitec is HTCExpress, their batteries aren't as bad as the ebay "cheapies". I had their 1800 in my Dinc and then G2, worked perfectly fine.

The chichitecs come with a separate charger to charge only the spare battery. But yeah, I'm worried that if I open the battery door frequently it will get loose or break.
@GideonX
When you used the chichitecs on those phones, did they at least last as long as the stock battery? That's really all I'm looking for

I don't necessarily disagree with your reasoning, it is a matter of perspective. It is just interesting how people can look at something differently. I think swapping batteries is a much more elegant solution then adding a gigantic protrusion to my phone. And battery covers are cheap, if it comes to that.

I've tried to find the post in this forum that had the link to the battery doors. They were actually to the LG Optimus 2x and required purchase of a min of 5 doors. Many have claimed that they have received replacement doors for free, both from T-mobile store and phone representatives.
With that said I must concede that they are not readily available. And I am surprised that 3rd party colorized replacements are not being marketed.
Personally I use accessories that would not work with the oversize cover that I do not want to give up: rubberized case, leather holster, and especially the bicycle mount. I suppose I am willing to take the risk that either the door won't break or if it does I'll be able to acquire the part. By that time there probably be enough dead G2X's around to find one on eBay.
I do have an external battery that recharges the phone, I should probably use it before resorting to swapping internal batteries. It's not that much trouble to use while still using phone, just a small object dangling from the charging/usb port on the phone.

Any more reviews on the CHICHITEC batteries, positive or negative? Do they report the correct temperature?
Thanks.

I ended up getting 2 3500 and 1 stand up spare charger for 25.
If you mind the bigger backdoor I say go for that.
But then again im really safe with my phone SO i dont end up dropping it.

One of the batteries is an OEM battery... not a "cheapy" battery. Just as reliable as the stock one you have in your phone right now..?

I also notice that. I wonder why?

so I bought the 2x chichitec. I charged one and stuck it in my phone. The phone displayed 72% and 4190mV. WTF??? The voltage is believable - what piece of s/w or h/w came up with 72%? Also, the temp is stuck at the unbelievable 25.2C, which is disappointing. I haven't tried the 2nd battery, which is a different color. so, I downloaded this
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1024867
and am topping it off again, as the app recommends.
So how does the phone come up with the "n%"?

How is that other battey working???
Sent from my LG-P999 using XDA Premium App

both batteries very similar in performance as original, except no temp sensor. Charger charges slow, so it keeps the battery cool during charging. I bought these as backups for my wife, so when she gets the Screen Of Death she can swap in a fresh battery. As I've stated in other posts, if we re-boot once a day, we don't get the SOD. But I can't get her to consistently do that, so she pays about twice a month.
I do wish the temp sensor worked, because I have a profile set in setCpu for over temp, but we are just using these as backups, so...

I bought this set from Amazon because I was looking for swapping batteries for my phone and my wife's, who also has a G2x. I'm not sure if it's the methodical charge time with the charger or what, but I'm getting freakishly good battery life, with both the OEM batteries that came with the phone, and the Chichitec batteries. Light to moderate usage, I still have my Chichitec battery at 86% after being on for just shy under 7 hours, from what CM7 Spare Parts is telling me.
I'll be going to bed with the fully charged battery, and go to work with it for a majority of the next day, and swap them out around 11am, and stick the dead one on charge when I get home at 2pm, rinse, repeat. I haven't charged my phone since I bought this set.
Also, for those wondering, like myself, both of these batteries are NON-oem--just one is black like the OEM, and one is red, both of them are Chichitec batteries.

From my limited knowledge of batteries, charging slow and cool helps. Also this article discusses the charging routine can make a long term difference. It'd be interesting to KNOW if the chichitec charger is "better" for these batteries...

Will do. I'm charging my batteries SOLELY using the charger provided by Chichitec. I've not charged the batteries strictly through the phone, just exchange during work and later in the evening, depending on usage, of course.

1500mah "OEM" Battery?

Has anyone purchased one of these so-called OEM batteries?
http://www.ebay.ca/itm/OEM-1500mAh-...141606?pt=PDA_Accessories&hash=item255ecad726
This one claims to be a Desire Z OEM battery rated at 1500mah. Isn't the OEM battery only 1300mah or was there another one that was released?
Also, has anyone any luck with the 3500mah ebay extended batteries? How are the doors and are they at least 2600mah?
http://www.ebay.ca/itm/3500mAh-Exte...863751?pt=PDA_Accessories&hash=item5642245107

Yeah, I see on T-Mobile's website, the G2 also has 1300mAh. I wouldn't recommend buying a third party battery though, just watch this video about a PSP having a third party battery.
http://www.gametrailers.com/user-movie/psp-explodes-in-pocket/172723

It's a matter of buying a good, name brand battery. 3rd party or OEM doesn't matter if it's a good quality and the listed mAh rating is accurate. You get what you pay for 90% of the time...

eBay is filled with counterfeits, and lots of items marked "OEM" when they aren't OEM. I'd stay away from buying things like batteries and SD memory from eBay, unless you know for fact the seller is offering legit goods.
The pic looks hokey, also. It looks like a stick-on label, instead of the screen printing I've see on HTC OEM batteries. I'd be willing to bet this is a knockoff, misrepresented by seller, etc.

I can vouche for HTCpedia having purchased several extended batteries from there myself
Here's there Desire Z section
http://shop.htcpedia.com/htc-desire-z/accessories/batteries.html

I recently purchased the Anker, I believe, 1600mah from amazon. Battery life is better than the OEM.

I would personally stick with the stock 1300mah battery, and UC the cpu to save battery life. Unless your original battery has gone bad and you need to replace it altogether. I'm always weary about 3rd party accessories.

The Incredible S has a 1500mah battery that's the same size. I'm not sure where to get one in Canada though (can anyone enlighten me?).
For that matter, if the Anker is available in Canada I'd be interested in knowing where too.

I have links below that sell Anker Batteries.

Based on the price for the battery listed, this may be a little out of your range, but I picked up this one on Amazon:
http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B004M8RWLG
And it really picked up the slack from the 1300mah OEM battery, and still fits under the stock battery cover
HTH

Battery life on my G2, even when overclocked to 1512Mhz on the stock CM kernel, is pretty good. HTC has been really slacking off with battery life lately *coughDOUBLESHOTcough*.

Well, I've received my Anker 1600mah battery.
Since it doesn't claim the world, I'm thinking it might actually be true (unlike the Seidio or Mugen "1900mah" batteries that end up only 1300mah).
Even if it's just 1300mah, the price is right =)

Can you post any "Better battery stats" logs or verify how much capacity it actually has?

Interestingly enough, I have some records from the tests I've been running this weekend. This battery has been surprisingly decent considering I only expected 1300mah (from the advertised 1600mah) out of it.
Code:
ILWT 285
1.5GHz Performance
Airplane Mode
Minimum brightness
MX Player SW Fast
Stretch Mute
Battery discharged to 89% before recharging back to 100% waiting for the trickle recharge to stop before starting video and unplugging. Device running until 15% warning which is dismissed and then run until device auto shuts off.
Anker - Claimed 1600mah
375minutes
~250ma
1562mah
97.6%
HTC OEM 1300mah (1.5 years old)
274minutes
~250ma
1141mah
87.8%
I also ran another test with slightly different settings (which meant it couldn't be compared) where the average drain was 300ma:
319minutes
~300ma
1595mah
99.7%
The test is as consistent as I could make it since I only have my phone to discharge the battery with.
With that said, I have heard some non-OEM batteries lose their capacities faster than the OEM ones. I plan to do this test again at the 1 year mark.

I haven't tried those "OEM" batteries before but I've heard a lot of good reports on the "MUGEN" ones. Supposedly, if you follow the instructions, it'll function as it's suppose to (meaning it'll last long).

If it's 2450mAh and the same size as the original battery, it's fake.

I've seen these gold batteries before. Often they are OEM batteries with a fancy sticker on. Don't be fooled. Run it via a battery test, or even use Spare Parts to check the capacity. Also, avoid the placebo effect, your phone might seem to last longer and because of that you think it's a good battery but it might be simply because the battery is newer; you should consider does it run better than when you first had the phone?

If "Item location: Hong Kong, China" doesn't say enough, the free shipping and outrageous capacity claim should tip you off that it's a burn. It's just a low quality knockoff battery with a flashy label.

It's a fake.
If you want more capacity you need to buy a bigger battery and the cover to contain it, there are no other options.

That's not strictly true. You can get non-fake batteries up to 1800 mAh while still being able to use the original battery cover.

I've got the same battery. It's a big improvement over the stock battery.

I'm going to get one of these batterys and try them

And if size doesn't matter you may search for a battery with a capacity between 3.000 and 3.500 mAh, changing the battery cover. But i won't buy the one from the first post...
For me that's way to thick. :silly: I also think it's ok if the battery lasts at least 20 hours - or i'll just take another charged battery with me.

Another charged battery is a good resolution too and i got a second one cuz its my second sgs+ my old had a bath but i had insurance so i got a new device

CAUTION - 2600mAh battery AceSoft - DO NOT BUY !

My last try (after having bad experience with noname 2500mAh replacement battery which was a waste, and 3000mAh S3 battery which did not fit).
Just ordered AceSoft 2600mAh http://www.ebay.com/itm/AceSoft-260...d=100033&prg=1011&rk=1&rkt=4&sd=181188883709& (w/o NFC)
will check & report!
there is also another one from sporting persistence http://www.ebay.com/itm/4-Accessory..._Cell_Phone_PDA_Batteries&hash=item4176c8f4f7
but this one I don't mind anymore, for those who is interested can have a look
edit:
-----
THE RESULT
So, after warming it up for some days, I decided to make benchmarks, and did it with two different apps.
While the stock battery (1800mAh) drains 30% for the same test in the same time, the AceSoft battery drains 40% although it is allegedly 2600mAh (or 2830mAh).
Also, the AceSoft is the same as the sunsky 2500mAh noname replacement battery. Looking in it clearly they only changed the sticker and selling it this way. You can see the battery material is identical in design.
------
Thus, no need to buy that! I am tired and give up trying any other batteries.
cheers guys

I want to try the battery of the Galaxy Note, the dimensions of it are almost equal.
Has anyone tried it?

Hi folks!
So I received the battery from AceSoft today and the first thing that impressed me was that Im reading on it "2850mAh", so let's see.
To get confident that it is not just a sticker over another noname replacement battery I pulled down the red sticker a bit to check whats behind, and I see at least no other sticker behind, only the battery. But unfortunately the design of the battery looks like same the replacement battery from sunsky, both bit different to the stock one.
I put the battery into the phone and it got already about 50% juice. The only weird thing was that on my first use, the phone was working and reacting very slow. I put to charging and waited 10min, when it was still slow, then just rebooted and now it is fine. Is that normal with the first use? I hope it was only once.
Will see and report the results these days!
@Balthasar85 sorry, haven't tried it and don't know about it

when plugged in for charging, i found out that it stops charging as soon it reaches 4.3 V or reaches a temperature of 43 C to prevent any damage. it got (from 10%) to about 85% charge, i then need to wait about 20min till it cools down a little and comes lower state in voltage, in order to proceed fully charging.
maybe it needs some training in the first usage, in order to get used to charge completely. will see..
but for now i am fine with the battery

Looking forward to the results

Hello,
For now, as I guessed it is better when charging over USB from pc, because the temperature of the battery stays always cool below 40°C, not getting quickly warm as through the charger, neither does the voltage reach as quicker to 4.3 V. You can see in the pics attached.
Though I have to say that I am using a different charger and not the original charger (american) because I am in Europe, as the power supply socket is different here.
I previously read for extended batteries, they need a few charges to get out the full capacity. In the screenshot we can see that the charging jumped from 92% to 100%. I then waited a bit, and recharged smoothly again. I believe this is normal for the beginning and will be fixed after some uses/recharges.
the screenshots include the graphs while charging in % of the battery state, Temperature (it is more warm before the charging, because I was using the phone) and in Voltage, all of during the same time range. and the re-raising to 100% in the last pic.
will definitely let you all know the further results.
cheers for now

Update. Do not buy this!

i don't want to sound like a douche but the outcome was to be expected. given a definite size for a battery, there's only so much power you can cram into it and it's already highly unlikely that a 3rd party cheap battery would match or slightly surpass the branded original one, that it's basically just screaming scam when dirt cheap, noname batteries claim insane power like 2600-2850 mah vs the stock 1900

There are ways to cram more power into the same space. Using higher quality cells or better manufacturing can lead to better batteries. I'm not vouching for any of these off brands, and in most cases you can consider them bad, but there are exceptions. But it seems finding a reputable brand or original S3 batteries would be your best bet for extended slim batteries
