2450mAh "Gold" slim battery

Well guys n gals, I have received today THIS battery.
(edit: it seems the seller has raised the price slightly, when I bought it couple weeks ago I've paid $6 USD with free shipping)
(edit again: price actually goes up or down a dime or two because of the exchange rate: this listing is originally in GBP - British Pound Sterling, so it depends on how high or low currency exchange is at this moment

It is for HTC Sensation, however:
the good:
- it doesn't require any special back door (it is standard size)
- it does have much larger capacity (don't know is it really/exactly 2450 mAh, but certainly it IS of larger than original, see my first notes below)
- it didn't get hot (and it was just warm when chgarging)
- it is Made in Japan (which generally indicate best quality)
- it is recognized by MT4GS (no "unrecognized" battery problems)
the bad:
- it is slightly larger, by about 0.5-1mm (perhaps because of this thick gold aluminium sticker it is wrapped around?). I had to insert it at the angle and kinda "squeeze" it in at the top
- takes long time to charge (it took about 6hrs to charge using phone's original charger)
(seller's stock photos that were here have been removed - after 6mths all links are dead)
My MT4GS is currently running on this battery for 4+hrs (with data - 4G or wifi - turned ON all time) and finally the "full" battery icon has changed to the "almost full" (1 notch less) on the screen.
With same use I would be in the middle or slightly more than half on original battery (that's how I already know it must have larger capacity).
Will let you know more once I use it and test it further.

As I said, it just arrived today, will tell you more about this battery in few days.
I don't have any Anker batteries to compare it with.

This is interesting...please do let us know how this pans out for you. Seems like a good deal.

BTW, stupid question: how do you take screenshots with stock ROM?
(I have tried power button + home but it doesn't work, or the picture went somewhere where I can't find it lol)

Download the screenshot app.

That kinda looks like an Anker with a different wrapper. The notches and cuts are almost identical.

Well, they all should be almost identical or the battery wouldn't fit our phones...
New status pics after few hrs of "sleep" at night, and about 1/2hr of "work"
(had to find screenshot app that works, and I tested install/uninst about 10 of them)
edit
Can someone explain to me what is that blue line at the top underneath the runtime?
Apparently it shows usage or (non-usage?) as a linear graph, but how do I "read it", the gaps at begining (or on the left) and then it turns into constant line on the right side?

So root and download the free one from Kastor Soft.

Looks promising. I just ordered one off Ebay, $6.83 USD with free shipping.

Battery Type
I believe the reason these gold batteries can hold more, despite having the same size, is because they are Lithium-ion Polymer batteries, as opposed to the Lithium Ion batteries that the Anker/Stock batteries probably have.

I'm not talking about the contact points, I'm talking about the other little markings on the battery. If you compare that battery to the stock battery, you'll see some minor differences in markings and grooves. That battery looks identical to an anker.

So what's the update on this battery? Was it as good as you'd hoped?

Here:
Phone had very "light" day today: less than 10 phone calls, few emails, 2 txts, about 20min web browsing, so the battery still has juice now at the evening...
Since this is the very first charge I want to keep it going until it's down to about 3% before I charge it second time. I hope it won't die at night and lasts until morning.
"Is it as good as I hoped"?
All I can say after using it for just 1 day is that certainly it has much larger capacity than stock battery, that's for sure.
UPDATE
I was afraid the battery might not last until morning and die at night, so I decided to drain it faster and turned everything (bluetooth, GPS, wifi), started using google maps, uploaded videos to my google drive, called my other number and left it "talking" and so on. In less than half an hour the battery was down to 10% and power saver kicked in. So I gradually drain the juice down with another voice call, I had last battery warning when it was at 5% so I took the screenshots, uploaded them to google drive and made 1 more voicecall at which point about 2min later the phone did shutdown itself (I assume batt dropped down to 3%)
Last screenshots of batt status I took after the "5% battery warning":
I removed this battery (because I needed to charge my original batt to full before I leave it in a box) and took more photos.
I've also found out why it was tough to insert it at first.
See next post.

The "Gold" HTC Sensation 2450 mAh battery in comparison with black original "standard" HTC MyTouch 4G Slide battery:
Notice notch on one of the "Gold" battery's sides is slightly smaller than it is on our original battery.
Also the notches have slightly different shape, kinda inward trapezoid instead of rectangular.
That is the reason why I had to slightly pry the battery in when I inserted it for the first time, and that's why I found small crack on the "Gold" battery's notch - see the top left corner:
Above picture taken after I already tried with my finger to rip out that part of the notch, but it didn't go.
I took small pliers and I started slowly pull this corner of the notch out, until it easily snapped and broke off:
That's how it looks now:
Of course you don't need to break it the way I did, you can use some small file and enlarge the notch the "proper way"... I just was impatient and took a "shortcut" with pliers
Anyways, once you do this particular notch/edge the battery now goes as easy as the original battery when you insert it.
My first conclusions:
This 2450 mAh "Gold" battery, at $6 a piece including free shipping, and lasting for 1 day and 2+hrs (on the very first charge - which should improve after few charges) seems like a very good bargain.
I don't know how it compares with 1800 mAh "Ankers" or "Mugens" since I don't have those, but in few more days I will give you all more thorough and definite conclusion.
edit:
My original battery is now fully charged and stored, phone is off and I'm charging the "Gold" battery. Since I'm going to bed soon I will not know how long it will take to fully charge it this time.
I will post battery status pics tomorrow at the end of the day again.
edit: I noticed images hosted on imageshack have started to disappear, so I have downloaded and attached the remaining ones to this post. Sorry about that.

I believe that's the amount of time your wifi is on. At least that's what it is on Virtuous Inquisition.
It could also be the amount of time your GPS, awake, screen on, or charging.
But I just checked, and the bar matches up with the wifi on my rom. It's the only one that's ALWAYS on. Hence a solid blue line all the way across
By the way, I love your pictures and screenshots. Very descriptive and helpful. Keep them coming!
Judging by the amount of "awake time" your phone has off a single charge with the battery, I believe we have a new value kid on the block...
This battery looks like it can give an Anker a run for its money. Anyone want to replicate OP's setup with their Anker and post results??

Something woke up my doggie around 4AM and then he woke me up so after I chased away whatever it was on my backyard I saw the green light on my phone and I turn it on.
Data (wifi/4G) and bluetooth are ON since I left them like this yesterday. However I didn't use any bluetooth device, so I'm guess it is "sleeping", right? Or is it really ON all this time? I still can't figure out so many aspects of Android OS and this phone... i.e. in all my Windows Mobile phones if I left bluetooth on and nothing connected to it within set time (I had it set to 2min) then bluetooth would automatically turn off. Apparently it works differently on Android since bluetooth icon is still present.
Anyways, here are the pics.

Understood.
What I meant is that if the batteries are for the same phone manufacturer models, if they have same shape and measurements, they usually fit many devices (from the same manufacturer).
AFAIK only Sony and Motorola still continue making a "one time use" battery designs that would fit only one particular model (very wasteful).
Yes, the only problem might be the notches/groves as you have pointed out, but more often than not that's not the case. However, if the manufacturer decided to use completely different notches to the extent that it would not go into another phone, I always assume in such cases they must have had valid reasons for doing so and I wouldn't even try to force it in.

That's it, you are right, it has to be wifi. It's the only thing that I usually have always on too, hence the solid line probably matching the times when I was indoors, and the gaps when I was outdoors (and data autoswitched to 4G).
I'm glad someone appreciates my pics n description, thanks! Certainly I will post more (when I have something to post).
Yes, I too think this "Gold" battery might be excellent (and so cheap! lol) replacement for our sh***y standard batteries; pardon my language, but I would throw a PooPie in the face of the HTC person responsible for our original batteries without any hesitation if I had the opportunity and knew who he is
Regarding replication of my "setup" - even if someone flashes same stock ROM I don't think it's possible to replicate one's usage. Heck, I doubt if even I could repeat same usage pattern on the same phone again.
But I think there is easy solution: LEDs!
Since our phones have the "flash" LEDs, we can use the stock ROM's "Flashlight" app to test it, using i.e. middle brightness setting to speed it up (I wouldn't go for the highest as it could shorten LED's lifespan).
Think: the LEDs should drain battery fast enough for the test not to last for hours, and since LED manufacturing technology has matured years ago I'm rather certain that 99.99% of the LEDs in our phones are exactly the same.

Yeah... this "Gold" battery is Li-Po too
IIRC the Lithium Ion - Polymer batteries have 1 major drawback (unless it was the Ni-MH batteries?) :
they loose charge in cold temperatures and radioactive environments faster than your Geiger Counter can click... I don't expect the latter to apply to any of us but cold temperatures certainly are problem here in Canada (ya know, we have 2 seasons only: Winter and Sunny Winter, and yes: polar bears roam all the cities, and - since they outnumber us humans - they have recently acquired voting rights too, so don't you dare poke fun at'em, ehh? )

Well let's hope they don't start making 2 cell phone batteries or we will need a balance charger. But now I know its a li-po that kinda scares me being in a phone. Reason being I have a Losi Mini-T RC Car with a Castle Creations 8000 kv motor and a Mamba Max ESC. When I run my ni-mh battery its when I want to cruise at 22 mph, but when I throw in my 2 cell Li-Po I'm kicking out 59k rpms which comes out to about 55mph. I haven't been able to clock it any faster because using my phones gps to clock a rc car at over double the speed limit in a residential neighborhood is not fun. But the point of it is Li-Po's are some serious power throwing batteries id hate for it to be pushing to much to the phone

WOW. Really wow! That's big difference!
But I think the electric motor's speed is related to voltage, right? (the higher the voltage the faster the speed) So if your engine runs on i.e. 3.0V and you use higher than 3V battery, then it goes faster, right?
In case of differences between this and standard battery, they both have same 3.7V, the difference is in capacity only (Li-Po holds more than Li-Ion).
Capacity:
If there were any Ni-Cd (old style rechargeables) battery types for our phones, assuming same size and same 3.7V voltage, such Ni-Cd battery would hold probably less than 1000mAh. Would this "slow down" our phones? No. The difference would be only in the usage time we could squeeze out of it (if it existed), one charge would probably give us only few hours of use at most.
Similarily, Li-Po battery of same 3.7V (but of higher capacity) cannnot "speed up" our phones. It only give us more usage time off the same charge because it has greater capacity than standard Li-Ion battery.

BTW, what happened to the "Thank you" button? I want to thank gtmaster303 for the "blue line" explanation 2 posts above, but the buttons are nowhere to be found

The 2cell batteries - yes, my first "extended" battery for my Hermes or Kaiser was like this. I didn't knew it was 2-cell until my USB port quit working (it burned in the place where it was soldered to the board, most likely because charging this 2-cell batt required double the Amperes it wasn't designed for... and it was so difficult to unsolder and solder new port, real horror)

DIY extended slim battery!

So, it annoyed me the Galaxy S III battery was 2100 mah vice our 1800, but physically smaller (albeit a hair thicker)

this is interesting... is the s3 battery rated at 3.8v too? also, did you really see that 16% improvement in battery life?

Battery life is better yes. And most cell phone batteries are 3.8 volts, and report as "full" at around 4.2 volts, although the app I use for battery monitoring shows the relay is charging my battery to 4.3 volts.

The stock battery life on our phone is pretty decent. But I wonder what kind of extended slim battery options we have for our phone specifially....
Great mod Nard. The S3 battery is very common and I think all aftermarket extended slim batteries for the S3 should work as well. As long as you don't have a problem ghetto rigging it, we can get a lot more juice for out phones. And it retains NFC. Massive plus

Holy cow, an extra 28% battery life for under $5? Heck yes! Just ordered this.
Edit: Don't see NFC mentioned anywhere... I don't use NFC, but just in case I decide I want to start, I'll pick up one of these, and solder the guy on if I need to. Looks to be about the right size.

I have one S3 battery, though from KINPS with 3250mAh that I got last time, which is 5mm thick (1mm more than ours) and should be allegedly same size to the S3 stock one.
But I am not able to close the back cover when I want to use it according to your instruction. that 1mm is definitely too thick and does not let me close it.
would you please confirm that yours is 5mm also or is it less than that?
if the prior, how did you manage to close the back cover?
if the latter, i would go buy a S3 stock battery.

If it's really that tight, I would try and carefully remove the sticker and see if it fits.
Compare it to the stock battery. Shouldn't be much thicker than that

I got a 3 pack of those batteries. All the three of them are just lying at home, their actual capacity was 2100mAh. Besides it didn't charge over 87%, which is 1800mAh approx. Don't know what the problem was, guessing it was the maximum voltage the battery could be pushed to using the phone. :/

Just let them sit overnight, they'll charge more

Actually the big possibility behind this is samsung has a battery overcharge feature...which is why your battery may only get that high...also Another cause might be to check and make sure your charger is outputting 5v 800ma as thats what is required by phone...i use stock charger with my 5000mah extended battery and loving it...gets full charge with both stock and extended battery....also to note...because of this overcharge feature depending on bad flash or similar it may actually brick your batteries (yes its possible). A prime example is i thought my old relay was bricked...when i got new relay i tried charging the battery from old phone and got the bootloop of death like i did on my old relay..so it got me thinking...and i placed battery from new relay and it booted right up as if a brick never happenned..i started to really research this and found ways to prevent this from ever happenning again as well as finding out about the samsung overcharge "issues" .

Besides when i used the battery, it lost charge out quite quickly and when i did a little research on the batteries, i found out given the size the batteries are likely to be fake and that the best batteries are the stock ones. The big extended batteries are however a different story altogether though. Anyway, i'd charge them overnight once and see if anything happens.
Here's hoping to the phone not bursting and burning my house down!!:fingers-crossed:

a good example...i went from 6 am to now 8:30 pm on my extended and its now at 75% batterry....i only paid 30 with tax and stuff total for my extended and happy i got it...again though...a lower voltage and ma charger will cause issues with battery drain and charge as well...like lets say you used a charger from another android device that calls for 4.5 or 5 volts but only 750ma or 500ma.... in terms it doesnt charge the phone properly causing more workload and time for battery to charge properly

I bought the extended battery of mugenpower (2300mah) for Samsung Galaxy S3. I scratched To insert the battery. The time now is charging but the cover does not close. probably also'll scratch the cover.
Soon I will insert photos of the operation.
P.S.
I spent € 37 including postage

I am extremely satisfied with the results, the battery life has improved considerably. Now I can get to the evening, with the old battery arrived at midday
I had to scratch the back cover to be able to close.

zerolemon 3000mah

I recently purchased this for my galaxy s4. I got right at 9 hrs before it went to 0% and completely turned off. 3 hrs was non stop screen time. I did not use any battery management apps and left wifi on non stop but turned off blue tooth.
It seems like this battery only gave me about 1 he extra over stock. This is a stock replacement. I've seen a lot of Zerolemon worship videos on YouTube but no "real reviews".
Has anyone else any experience with this battery ? Doesn't seem that great.

Ok I must be the only one who owns this battery. That's OK I've always considered myself a pioneer. At any rate I checked again and same thing. No NFC, takes forever to charge, no significant change in battery time. The battery itself is larger than the stock albeit only by a millimeter or so.
Waste of money.

I wouldn't say it's a waste of money... Mine have been treating me well. Really the batteries are only about 2800 mAh or so, not an actual 3000, but I'd still prefer the extra hour or so even if it takes away NFC (that I never use).

I returned the 3000mah battery today.
The 3000mah is 600mah over stock. So in theory you should get +20% more battery time. My Samsung was about 8 hrs which is I believe what samsung claims anyway. So in theory I should get an additional 96 minutes of time. Using touchwiz I got the most 56 minutes.
For me an additional 56 min does not warrant $20. I'd rather take the 20 and buy the bigger 7500mah or keep it slim stock and buy an external that I plug up. Some. A disagree with me but 56 minutes is negligible. 96 minutes would be better as my phone rips through power.
I definitely did not get the same time as you did but I'm using TW and not ASOP. Then again I used it in the manner I normally would and disabled juice defender. Juice defender is pretty good and works well on aggressive setting and helps extended battery life.....
I just personally did not find value in the battery.

Just ran my Samsung battery again and recharged it. It lasted about 8 hrs 20 min this past time. It charged faster than the Zerolemon as well. I may try Ankor or another extended battery. The actual door batteries seem to be better value. My friend got the mophie juice pack for $99. No NFC, no USB OTG, bulky, 2300mah. That's a pretty bad deal the case is huge and that's way too expensive for such little battery..I use USB OTG alot

I have the Zerolemon slim line I don't remember mah but I have had good luck with it. I have gone two days on it, making phone calls and social media . Go figure I guess it the luck of the draw.

Better Suggestion
I'm looking for a better battery, but it has to have a thin enough back case that the touchstone hack would work. Suggestions?

The original Samsung Battery has 2600 mah and the Zerolemon claims to have 3000. That's 400 more not 600.

Good point, I did re-read this thread. I know a friend who also got this battery a little after I did and kept it. I told him about my extra time, and he approximately did get 1hr extra over stock as well. He's had it now for a month, and he says the time now is equivalent to stock (i.e. the extra hour does not seem to take hold anymore).
At any rate, with a spotty experience it is hard to justify over just buying a stock Samsung battery if you need the extra capacity. I don't mind losing the NFC over extra battery time, but the results are negligible at best.

amazing :good:

I never tried it. What I ultimately did was get a portable battery pack and another Samsung battery. The portable battery pack can charge the phone on the fly with the USB cord and also charge any other phones or devices. The spare Samsung battery is for a battery swap if I need the phone ASAP.
The first Samsung battery I got was a fake, so I just went to Fry's Electronics and bought retail an authentic Samsung battery. I knew the Samsung battery was a fake because around 13% it would be become unstable and just turn off. It never went systematically to 0. It just was a toss up when the phone died under 13%. Eventually the battery would just completely die in 2 hrs.
This what I'll do in the future is just buy a spare stock battery. I already have a universal portable battery pack.
I looked at all options. The ZeroLemon extended batteries are bulky (the big ones) and heavy. For anyone who holds and uses their phone a lot, the phone becomes very big to just take in and out of the pocket frequently. Plus it looks horrible in my opinion. If you feel that is a great option for you, more power to you. I take a lot of pictures with my phone, and that battery pack isn't happening.
I also looked at battery pack cases which were not my thing. You buy a Mophie case that makes the phone so huge and only charges your phone to 80% ? For a whopping $100. What a deal.
I bought a spare authentic Samsung battery from Fry's for like $30 or so. My phone is slim, I can take pictures easily, and when I socialize with women and get their numbers, they aren't laughing at my ridiculous phone lol.

I like my zero lemon batteries actually. I got what I paid for. Marginal batteries which help me get through the day. I didn't expect some magical change. They are 10 bucks how much did you think they would help? I like the red charger and I swap between the two batteries I got. Beats carrying around a charger I just pop the other battery in and I'm good for the day.

That's fair. They just were not my thing. I'm content with another genuine Samsung battery. One of my friends got one and still has it. He said that the additional time is not there anymore, and they have the same life as the Samsung batterys. Not sure if it is his battery or how they really are, but I'm content not having it. Plus the battery creates a very minor bulge at the back. I had a very tight fitting case on when I tried the battery and it created a minor gap.
If you like them more power to you, but I don't care for their products.

I have a 3000mah battery.. idk what brand.. it was a gift. So to get the most outta my L720t I bought a $9.99 wall mounting battery charger. And at night I'll charge both my Samsung battery and the extended life one. I use my Samsung till it's dead.. then I'll pop in the slightly bigger one. This way I always know I'll have enough juice..
Thanks for all your input guys.. I was wondering weather or not to get another 3000mah battery.. I'll stick with what's working... lol

I get over 4hrs of on-screen time on my stock battery in my gs4 that I bought the first week in may 2013. I was considering the zerolemon 3000mah but idk now. worst case scenario is that I can always return it if I see no improvement over stock

Just depends on what your need is. Are your guy's cases super tight fitting ? There will be a slight bulge at the back, full disclosure, so if it is extremely tight fitting that might be an issue. Do you have an aluminum backplate battery cover ? Again, you might run into problem it's not a 100% OEM fit, more like 97%.
I just don't think it is worth the hassle since the stock battery works fine and fits fine plus has Samsung quality control, but that's just me. The questionable benefit, unknown quality of the battery, and bulge at the back isn't my thing.

[REVIEW] PolarCell 3400mah Note 4 Battery

PolarCell 3400mah Note 4 Battery Review​
You always wanted some extra power “juice” for your smartphone, even with the Note 4 which has very good battery life.
PolarCell sent me their Note 4 Battery with 180mah more capacity compared to the OEM Samsung battery.
Lets get started and see how it looks…

The battery itself has a simple minimalistic Design and matches with my White Note 4 very well.
It weights 1 gram more than the OEM battery and fits perfectly on the phone
Battery Life
Compared to the OEM Samsung’s original battery the battery life of PolarCell was as I expected , same SOT(screen on time) with more idle time .
Day 1 :
On first day use without calibration I managed to get 4hours and 30minutes of SOT from a full charge with almost 23hours in total use.
And I had 13% of battery juice left, that means I could get easily 30minutes more of SOT with Power Saving ON
Day 2 :
Day 2 was better I managed to get 1day and 5 hours from a single charge and 4hours and 20minutes of SOT and I had 15% more battery to spend.
I found myself browsing and using social apps a lot.
Later on you will see Day 3 and 4 , nothing different there just using Whatsapp,Viber,Browsing,Facebook,Instagram and Snapchat a lot and 3G/4G is ON most of the time.
Day 3 :
Day 4 :
Gamebench
Running Asphalt 8 on Gamebench shows the exact same results with both batteries.
Galaxy Note 4 (Snadpragon 805, SM-N910F)
Median FPS: 42
FPS stability: 65%
Battery Life: 4h 12m
Pros :
- Can charge wirelessly
- Slower draining
- Higher total wake on times
- NFC Compatible
- It doesnt add any extra bulk, fits perfectly
Cons :
- I really don’t see any con on this product , there is nothing wrong buying a higher capacity battery in the same size.
Conclusion :
The battery is just an upgraded version of the OEM one, I barely noticed any difference. Its always better to have more capacity , but it always depends on how you use your phone.
With this battery you will NOT get more SOT time, you will just get higher Total wake on times.
I noticed that when the status of the Note 4 is idle the battery is draining slower compared to the original battery.
I will stick with this battery because I get better total wake up times, so far the product seems very reliable and stable. Works fine with the QiReceiver and can charge wirelessly.
Overall the product has a German – premium – quality that only gives you extra benefits. I recommend this battery to anyone.
You can get your own battery from here :
ebay link

thanks for the review. I'm expecting my Note 4 to arrive in about 2 weeks from today so I will probably get this extra battery as well

i assume this battery does not quick charge(qualcomm chip). i have not seen any after market batteries that do contain

What is the ROM and Kernel you are using?
Thanks

So with this Batterie i can not use fast charging? I am right?
Gesendet von meinem SM-N910F mit Tapatalk

I too am curious about fast charging, as well as if you are using any custom ROMS or kernels. My ATT Note 4 can only use stock stuff.
Also, some other questions:
Does the battery fit properly in the phone? ie, no wiggling, sliding, etc?
Does the battery heat up any more than stock?
And finally, does the phone register the correct battery level? ie, the battery level doesn't decrease normally, but then stay at, say, 5% for a few hours. OR, the battery percent doesn't decrease and then magically increase a few % randomly?
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SM-N910A using Tapatalk

The fast charging is a very good question, as it would limit the capabilities of this battery.
I have also noticed in your comments that you mention wireless charging, but couldn't find the info anywhere on the ebay page or when googling for the battery.
Can you please confirm this is working as well?
Thank you.

I emailed the Polarcell seller via Ebay to ask 2 questions.
First- in case anyone is interested- this battery will work in any Note 4 using the EB-BN910BBU model of battery. This should include the US Verizon, T-Mobile, Sprint, and AT&T versions of the phone.
The second question was in regards to the fast charging. The guy said that it does work, but it isn't recommended. To me, the reason for not recommending it had nothing to do with the battery itself, but rather the long-running debate of whether fast charging affects battery life (speed of drain) or long-term battery health (battery degradation over time).
His response:
"Regarding the fast charging: it works with our battery but in general we do not reccomend it. Fast charging does not use the whole capacity of the battery and the overall performance is not as good as using regular charging."
So there we have it.

Update:
I just ordered one. It will be here in a few weeks since it's coming from Germany and I live in the US.
I'm really interested in the longer standby time since I average about 2hrs of SOT every day, so more standby time would be nice.

Fast charging chipset is imbedded in your Note4. this battery just accepts whatever the phone provides it in terms of power. Fast charging has been there for decades but it can easily overheat a battery and shortens it's lifespan. It's recommended to use slow charging and charge overnight, slow charging stays a tad longer by the way, but just a tad.

Hey guys, I just got my battery about 2 hours ago. I charged my phone while eating dinner (normal charge, not fast charge), and took the phone off the charger at about 92%. I've been on Tapatalk now for about 16 minutes and have only lost 2% battery. With my stock battery, I think drain was a little faster.
I can't make conclusions yet though. I will need until Friday night to tell for sure whether this battery is any good. During weekdays, I use my phone about the same way every day, so I tend to come home with about the same amount of battery left. So I'll easily be able to tell how this new battery compares to the stock one.
I will say this though:
I've bought a few "slim extended batteries" before for other phones. All turned out to be Chinese low quality batteries. They tend to be some cheapo plastic battery with a sticker wrapped around them. This Polarcell battery is really nicely made though. It has similar build quality as the stock battery, and the label is printed directly onto the metal casing of the battery. I'm impressed with the build quality at the very least so far.

Very nice
My note 4 gives me 4 hours and 30 minutes of SOT. I was hoping this one lasts much longer than 5 hours.. but still 5 hours and little bit more is still good..

I guess I can report back now.
First of all, 3400mAh isn't that much more than 3220mAh. So it lasting "much longer" than the stock battery is an overly high expectation.
I pretty much use my phone the same way every day, with the exception of the occasional higher-than-usual day. I pretty much end my day with 5% more battery than with stock. I can't give you a SOT estimate since I usually end my day with about 2-3 hours of SOT and between 20-30% battery remaining.
Overall, the battery does last a little bit longer than stock, but nothing amazing. However, the build quality of the battery is excellent. It's not a cheap Chinese battery made of plastic. This thing is of equal or higher quality to the OEM battery!

Yeah, it's a good battery. It just won't give you any amazing increase in battery life. It does increase life a little bit, but not by hours.
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SM-N910A using Tapatalk

yep... as mentioned in my review you dont see big improvement in battery life , you just get some extra juice and it works better in idle mode

I also bought this battery several days ago from the same store on eBay Germany as you all..
Checking the amperage, did you guys mange to find an application to show the real 3400 mAh value on battery proprieties?
Using system settings and CPU-Z, PhoneInfo or AIDA64 still showing as 3220mAh. Is this OK?

Today I ordered this battery. When I will receive battery I will do complete report etc... Also I receive notice that it will be send from Germany.

S7e Battery in S6

I'm running the S7 edge Nemesis rom in my S6 and love it but I've also been trying to get an S7 edge battery to do the conversion. I've bought supposedly genuine 3600 mah batteries from Replacebase and also a German company called VHBM but both are no thicker than the standard s6 one and capacity around 2200 mah according to Accubattery. The screen on time remains around 2 to 3 hours and time between charges about 16 hours at best.
Anyone know where I can get a genuine or good quality aftermarket S7 edge battery rather than these fakes? I'm based in UK. Thanks.

Sorry just noticed the sticky saying no posting of questions in the general section. Can a mod please move to the troubleshooting section please? Thanks.

i think a guy did this project once and realized that there was a chip in the battery that regulated the power it gave the device. IIRC try searching it. So basically the s7e battery didnt extend much life.

Thanks. I've found no improvement in battery life on the batteries I have tested. I've I stalled the kiboi rom with s7e battery support as well so was assuming the batteries were fakes but maybe there's more to it.

The way I see it is the physical size of the battery is a good indication of capacity. Ie there is no way that another li ion battery that is smaller than samsung's original battery is going to be over 1000mah higher capacity. On this basis I used a vernier caliper to measure exact dimensions of the following batteries to obtain the cubic volume and then estimate the maximum capacity.
So as a benchmark the standard Samsung S6 battery rated at 2550 mah measures 95.7 x 44.3 x 3.8mm giving total volume of 16110 mm3. If you say 16110mm3 gives 2550mah then each mm3 provides about 0.158mah.
I then did the same for the following batteries to see what the estimated maximum capacity was:
Replacebase S6 battery claiming 2550mah was 95.9 x 39.4 x 4.0mm so quite a bit narrower and a fraction thicker than the Samsung battery it claims to replace. This works out at 15110 mm3 so slightly less volume. Capacity estimate = 2392 mah.
Replacebase S7 edge claiming 3600mah was 95.3 x 40.3 x 4mm = 15362 mm3 and capacity estimate of 2431 mah which is LESS than a standard S6 battery!
VHBW S7 edge claiming 3600 mah was 96.2 x 41.2 x 4.4mm = 16714 mm3 and a capacity estimate of 2645 mah so the best so far but still way below the claimed 3600 mah.
This is quite disheartening as it means all of these companies are palming off sub capacity batteries claiming to be 3600mah. I love the S6 but battery on the standard battery sucks. If I can get a get a genuine S7 edge battery it would make a world of difference but where to get a genuine one? My search continues!

Just ordered a patona s7 edge battery claiming 3600 mah. The advert supplies dimensions of the battery at 96 x 43 x 5 mm which if correct gives 20640mm3 and works out at about 3267 mah. We shall see when it arrives.

Stop the press I may have been too quick to criticise the aftermarket batteries. I have been using the VHBW battery for a couple of weeks and tried fully charging and discharging, recalibration battery etc but still showing about 2300 mah capacity and rubbish life. However, just flashed the kobio kernel and fully charged and discharged. It's now showing 3300 mah capacity on Acu Battery. I'm not sure if this is just because the kernel is telling the phone to expect a much higher capacity or whether the phone is now charging beyond the 2550 mah because the upper limit has been raised. I'll report back on battery life once I've had a chance to fully test it.

Showing about 3500 mah on accubattery at the moment on my current VHBW battery and getting good life except when Google play services smashes it like today at 10% per hour. For info this battery fits very good with only very very slight raise to the case even with NFC and wireless retained.

Having used this VHBW battery for a few weeks now on different rom and kernel combinations I can say it's pretty good. Accubattery shows it charging to between 3300 and 3600 every full cycle. I'm using odexlite ROM with kiboi Devine kernel and getting 20+ hours combined with over 4 hours SOT, calls and with Wi-Fi and bluetooth on. Battery life has gone from rubbish to excellent. I highly recommend this battery and Rom/kernel combination. I was about to swap back to my old iPhone as I was so fed up with rubbish battery life but now it's fantastic.
For info this VHBW battery causes the back glass to fit about half a mm high on one side. It's barely noticeable but I kept catching my finger on it. I then removed the NFC and wireless charging pad which i never use anyway and the back glass now fits perfectly flush.
I would avoid the patona battery as it's over 5mm thick and I'm sure it is an excellent battery but it will not fit the S6 as the glass sits way too far from the frame. Unless you're happy to run without rear glass it is best avoided.
As an end note please be careful if you're messing with batteries as they are volatile if damaged. I also do not know that it is totally safe to put a larger battery into the S6 as apparently they can expand by up to 10 percent when charging so you do so at your own risk. That said lots have done the conversion and I'm not aware of any safety problems.
Good luck- it's a superb modification

This seems like a really cool modification to me. As I want also want to keep NFC: Would you think it is better to use the VHBW battery or try to go with an original S7 Edge battery (and there are two types of them: ATL and Samsung SDI)? From battery performance perspective, this VHBW seems pretty good but as I understood the original one from Replacebase is not so thick and thus fits better (but does it perform the same?)...however, I think it will be difficult to get real original ones (don't know if Samsung is even producing new ones or they stopped production already and used ones will be lower anyway).

I'd go with VHBW as still fits fine with NFC retained and gives a nice increase in battery life.

Can you tell me how you calibrate the battery, point to point, did you discharge to 0%- when phone shutdown and charge when phone is off?? or something different method? because my i discharge from 100%-to 1% and charge when phone is one and i have something 2880-2980mAh

Discharge till the phone shuts down on its own. The % is a rough guestimate. The logged voltage curves from the worn out 2500mah cell cause the device to believe that the battery can't sustain much current at the base voltage. So it reads 1% when there is still a good 20% left before the cell can't provide enough current at the minumum required voltage. First full discharge can sit at 1% for several hours.

Thx, now im calibrating with Lukas0610 Method 2. From this site https://duckyb.github.io/BatteryMod/calibration.html i will do it 2-4 times and post here the results.

Im finished calibrate my battery with Lukas0610 method 2 and after this i install martitos kernel with full support for s7 edge battery and here what i get

Hi. Do you mind to share how you manage to get that SOT
Step by step. I'm currently on aosp Android pie rom.
I already change to s7e battery, but same sot
Do I need to change supported kernel. Or Lucas0619 method alone is okay?
I tried input terminal as instructed, but no changes in battery reading.

Uuu you need kernel that support s7e battery there is aldexus kernel for 8.0 and 8.1 aosp roms but not for 9 pie rom
You can also try 4 method form link i provided above
Im remember that last thing i was doing with calibration was full charge from low state 5% (something like that) and unplug charger then when 100 drop to 99-98 pluged again and full charge, i repeat this 3 times and thats it
