Hello all
I purchased a second hand z5 it's in fantastic condition but the battery performance is pretty woeful.
I've gone through the many helpful software suggestions but no joy. (unfortunately I can't unlock the bootloader)
So I've ordered a replacement battery and while looking for it I came across the z5 premium battery, as I'm sure you're aware it has a larger capacity.
How much of a bad idea is it to put the premium battery in the z5?
The connectors look the same and the dimensions are very similar.
Will I fry my phone?
Cheers
The xperia z5 is not two years old yet. You should still have warranty. This week i sent my phone to Sony for battery replacement and they repaired my phone without hesistation.
I'll check, hopefully it is.
Cheers
Battery status : bad plaese replace says my Z5. And I am thinking to buy this :

Has anyone had experience using Sony's repair service? IT appears my battery has swollen and popped the back cover off I am considering sending it in to Sony to have it repaired and am wondering if anyone has an idea of what the cost is in US $$$. If it's too expensive I'll likely do it myself buut am worried losing the waterproofiness.

Don't you have warranty on the device? A damaged battery without an opened case is definitively not your fault..

No, it's out of warranty
Sir, your battery has bulged. This is a very dangerous signal. You need to replace your old battery in time and replace it with a new battery.

Hi, I was wondering if someone on here bought replacement batteries on AliExpress and could provide some feedback is it worth or they are selling low quality products that will lose it's capacity or explode, leak by 1 month of using?
I'm very much at a new battery stage and would mind some first hand experience, or ANYWHERE I can buy quality batteries that haven't sat around for years or half ruined...

I would be interested to hear as well. From what I see on Ebay/Amazon, many batteries are pulls from old phones, even when they are advertised as new (there is glue on the back, etc). Which means unless your battery is totally dead it won't offer much improvement. Particularly if they are abused by sitting on shelves for a year discharged.
I do know the OEM battery has a manufacturing date on the bottom, however I really doubt they are still being made.
I have looked for batteries made by reputable 3rd party makers like Anker but they seem to cater to the removable battery phone, not internal.
I don't care about it being original, but it sure needs to be good. Seems we have no options so far.
My Nexus 4 battery died and I had to change it.
The first battery I got was from https://www.amazon.com/gp/aw/d/B00SMMFWZQ
It worked well but after 3 months, I was back to 50% capacity. It seemed like a reconditioned battery. It had a date on it which was January 2015. However the label had been tampered with, some sections were blacked out with a marker.
So I bought https://www.amazon.com/gp/aw/d/B00X1USMBA
This seems to be a new battery made out of new cells.
After one month this battery still holds 100% charge.
I bought the one mentioned in the battery thread in this forum back in January of 2016 and have not had any issues.

Aliexpress still sells original OEM LG batteries marked with Jan 2016 Date. I thought LG stopped making these batteries some time ago.

where you buy the battery from ?
I bought a battery on AliExpress last week, it took 10 days from order to delivery to Belgium (impressive).
I haven't installed it in my Nexus 4 yet (still waiting for the tools to come... shipping not as fast as wth the battery lol)
at least it looks very new. will report back once I install it and test it for a few days.

That looks pretty authentic -- anything make it seem like that's a KIRF version? Also, link please.

The product webpage says "CUUSEY" as the brand so it's most likely a 3rd party copy (or a reconditioned battery)
you can find it here http://www.aliexpress.com/item/Orig...s-For-LG-Google-Nexus-4-E960/32659188109.html
Still haven't installed it in my phone so still can't comment on the quality of it.

Can you share your impression about the battery performance? That'll really help users who are looking to get a replacement battery. I replaced from LG service center but saw no improvements compared to the 3 year old battery

I finally installed my battery over the weekend. So far so good. Battery life doubled (I'm running the fake nexus marshmallow rom). I can finally go out for drinks without taking my power pack (had barely 4 hours of usage (not SOT) before!)
Sadly, a few days before I swapped the battery, the digitizer on my N4 finally gave up (like on so many others) and I have a vertical dead zone on my screen. I don't really feel like investing time and money to replace it so this is the end of the road for my good ol' Nexus 4. Hopefully a Pixel XL will replace it next month.

So you could send me your battery, as you seems to be one among the few finding a GOOD one
I've received the battery from AliExpress. It looks like it is a fake battery. Installed it just now.
Will post about how it performs in this week :fingers-crossed:
Edit 1: After using it for 12 hours, I'm very much disappointed to see that I'm getting less backup than my 4 year old battery (I understand this is just initial period but I was not expecting this ). See attached screenshot of battery drain.
Edit 2: On very second day of this new battery, the phone switched off when battery was 18%... Opened a dispute on AliExpress straightaway. This is 100% fake battery

Do not trust these sellers. I also bought the battery from a good seller; but the battery that I got was fake (see my post above yours).
They are not even responding to the dispute.

Hi guys
I was looking for replacement batteries for my Galaxy s5 active
I found the OEM, of course:
http://www.ebay.com/itm/112007844601
It has 2800 mAh
Then I found this one
http://www.ebay.com/itm/261585921173
A generic "Best4Power" that claim to have 5380mAh, 2580 more than the original, in the SAME battery size.
What do you guys think? could it be too good to be true?
It's fake. If you're lucky it MIGHT be 3500mAh.
Don't bother looking for batteries that claim to be higher capacity that are the same size as the original Samsung battery. Alternatively you could always have a second battery and charge it directly using a pug in battery charger. Or another option is try the mutagen batteries but be warned they can be pretty expensive.
I see, I ended up buying a couple of OEM batteries. Thanks guys, thread can be locked.
If you maximum battery, check with Zerolemond to see if your phone will be compatible with the S5 series. I have been using their extended battery in my S5 since last August and it is working just fine. My wife, who has the same S5 and standard battery, has had to replace her already. I have their battery on my S5 and S4 with a backup purchase if my S5 battery finally dies.
I replaced mine with an original one, maybe not very good autonomy but I'm satisfied
dude, theres no way the "OEM" one is real. 9ish dollars is too cheap. I've seen some pretty good looking fakes. But there are a few ways to spot the difference. depth of contacts, having an NFC antenna, having engraving when the cover is peeled off, size of the metal part (can only tell when the cover is peeled off), general external quality and details are a few quick ways to tell. Bought one last week that was not a bad looking fake. But still fake nontheless. Nervous about putting it in my phone so just got a refund.
Better buy it a original then fake crap thats what i did.
Hello everyone,
recently I have been having charging/discharging issues with the batter and I have figure out to change the batter. I went to Amazon/Ebay looking for good batteries but ended up backing out due to the fact that all reviews bring up the legitimacy of these batteries. So here I'm trying to find a good battery replacement.
Thanks in advance.
I've heard MD / Mobile Defenders is a good supplier but I don't know where you reside in but they are for the U.S.
Thanks, I'll do some search and see if I can find a viable way to purchase from them.
i bought a replacement battery from ebay. not samsung directly but said samsung. Whether the battery is legit im not sure but i replaced my fat bulging battery and have had the one from ebay in my s6. considering it has lasted me since last summer and ive had the same if not better battery life and for the price of 10 bucks (already owned the tools) its been good. The replacement process is easy and i am a novice cell repair man. besides getting a bad battery you can always return it and get a replacement or try another vendor. Godspeed fella

When I was looking replacement battery, I saw Mobilesentrix, you should try it.
I've had my XZ Premium since it was released, bought as a preorder. It was been an excellent device and still works perfectly to this day. Even the battery gets me through at least a full day with around 40%-50% charge left and is in perfect condition. The Xperia 1 looks like a pretty good device with a great display and better camera. Is it time to upgrade? Opinions and thoughts welcome!
Thanks in advance,
Charles
i had my xz premium since 2017 and it was the best phone i ever had (on android basis). Unfortunately my xz prem died 2 weeks ago because of my stupidity and I got a xperia 1 the same day. The only good thing about the 1s is the display (oled).
the end of the story is that i ordered another xz premium this week (from the remaining stock of a warehouse company) and i gave my x1 to my wife as a present (she should get annoyed with it). The phone came friday and it is simply the best (camera, battery, displyformat and haptic).
Sony should bring out a new xz premium with oled and leave the rest as it was.
i hope it helps you with your decision.
