What's the point if those batteries are the same?

Go for it and let us know what happens.

Battery worked and had no issues there. i did that because i can. now u know more

Did you see any improvement in battery life? Since the honor 9 battery is slightly bigger with 3200 mAh compare to 3000 for stock honor 8.

Anyone else tried this? I am thinking of replacing the battery on my honor 8 and this now seems like a good option.
There are a couple of replacement batteries on chinese stores that have higher capacity and would fit honor 8 (are even labeled to be a replacement battery for honor 8), but the batteries lack feedback/reviews and I am somewhat sceptical. Anyone have experience with those batteries?
Higher capacity batteries i talked about are (full name from online store):
QCKBST HB366481ECW 3600mAh High Capacity Battery For Huawei P9 G9 G9 Lite Honor 8 5C Original Replacement Phone Li-ion Batteries
HSABAT HB366481ECW 3800mAh Battery for Huawei P9 Ascend P9 Lite G9 honor 8 5C G9 EVA-L09 EVA-AL00 EVA-AL10 EVA-TL00

I'm curious about this battery. It says in the item "Charging Limit: 4.4V".
Does fast charge works as before, obviously taking in consideration the battery's bigger size?

It's an original battery, at least everything seems legit. (Manufacturing date, last longer than previous)
Fast charging isn't as fast as before, but it charges 45% in 25-30 min from 5%. I'm happy with it, way better than the 2 years old one.

I have spoken to @mezkul (very nice person) about the battery swap and this is what i got from him:
- The battery is holding up well, giving him greater yield that the one before and holding nicely in the phones day-to-day usage
- The ribbon cable connecting the battery to the mobo is not the same on honor8 and honor9 battery, so he had to somehow modify it (but from what i understood, the modification was light and easy, bending some plastic into place or something like that)
I am now looking into decent glues and/or double-sided tapes for closing back the lid of honor8, and when i find it i will finally swap my battery for a newer one.
If anyone has suggestions on what to use for sealing the lid, its much appretiated.

Did you swapped batteries yourself? If so, was it hard?
I might end up buying the battery and paying to fit it, if it proves too difficult.

try Zhalinda T8000 Glue, it's the best for this, I'm using it all the time to glue LCD Panels.
Or you can try 3m vhb 4991 tape. Some time ago I glued back of some Xperia Z2 and can't remove back cover next time. Very good tape.
Ask your friend about modyfication of baterry connector.

[Batteries 900 & 1800 mAh] My collection...

Hi,
Since the Diamond was born, everyone talks about its energy capacities... which are not so bad after all (and after applying some tweaks), compared to screen resolution, processor speed, size, ... !
Without being a energy paranoïac, in pure mobilty condition, I think I resolved the problem as I use to go out with one or two more batteries in my pocket, in case of
So here is my batteries collection :
- the OEM 900 mAh
- 2 others 900 mAh
- a 1800 mAh Cameron Sino with a special back cover

You will see all pictures in this picasa album
Comparison (size / weight)
Diamond with 900 mAh = 12 mm / 104 g
Diamond with 1800 mAh and full adpated back cover = 17 mm (+5 mm ~ +30%) / 118 g (+12g ~ +22%)
Note that you could use the 900 mAh battery with the 'big' back cover.
omg
its the size of a house brick
you can't stick that in a case well a suit case maybe
but the real question is should we really have to carry extra batterys about to make this phone last as long as it really should??
LOL I have all the same batteries
I now have 8 spare 900mh cells and tend to carry 1 extra in my wallet. I also got the usb cradle from the same shop on eBay. I will upload some pics too.
It was all so darn cheap too a few pounds...
If they were that cheap the batteries won't be legit... Just be careful with them and don't expect a full 900mAH!
Of course if you're certain they are legit, then please post some links/prices!
great pictures
about 1800mah
1- how many hours of charging to get 100% charge?
2- how many day its stay without charging ? (normal use)
3- does the GPS work ?
4- does the battery get hot in anyway ?
i'm sorry but that whole big battery/cover is hard to look at.
tss
I agree.. reason why I bought Diamond is slim design.. These batteries make it really really ugly. I mean REALLY ))

Have you had any issues with the 900mah batteries not being properly recognised by the phone i.e. it won't show their remaining capacity etc? Reason I ask is that I have tried 2 and they both did this...
Warning: Loss of sensitivity with 1800mAh Battery
I made extended tests with original battery and cover and with the 1800mAh and its cover.
The sensitivity of the gps is greatly reduced from
1) the new battery
2) the new cover (maybe it has some metal painting)
with the new battery and cover is almost impossible to get a fix even outside (with radio .05 at least)
Even with the original battery with the new cover the sensitivity is reduced.
What about this 1800mah battery + cover.
*although it also a turtle !!
Any idea it affect the GPS ?
*was told by the shop here that this one is OK .... not sure thou??
I have a similar one from ebay (EUR15 including shipping to NL from HK) and while GPS is fine, it kills the photo function because of lack of a protective transparent plastic (just a hole) and a dark shadow in every image because of the plastic "hump" next to the lens...
hi,
did you buy this one:
http://cgi.ebay.de/Power-Akku-Li-Po...39:1|66:2|65:12|240:1318&_trksid=p3286.c0.m14
i am searching a 1800ma Batterie with GPS function properly
Has anyone tried using one of those ebay desktop chargers to charge their oem genuine HTC diamond 900mah battery?....if so did you find any issue with it like reduced battery life or not charging to full capacity or the battery depletes quicker while in use?.....basically im thinking of buying an extra genuine HTC Diamond 900mah battery and use one of the ebay cheap battery desktop chargers and I dont want to waste the expensive genuine battery as the charger may not be compatible with it or something......thanks in advance.
OHH , so the turtle hump 1800 mah does work with GPS.

oh my life, cant stand the size n look of these back covers, the oficial extended battery is marginally better, but still 2 thick, im just gonna w8 till a ~1100mah battery comes out thats the same size as the stock 900 one...
i think the "Turtle" look is ok. its still thinner than other smartphones or handys and it should last a long time?!?
where to buy this turtle battery please?

NO!

where to buy the Turtle please?

3500mah battery now available

Hey guys,..well Ive got the Cameron Sino 3000mah battery,thread here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=789679
But just found out there also now a 3500mah battery available..so I couldnt help myself and gave it a go.Just bought yesterday so will take a week or so to arrive.
This one as with the other high capacity batteries also comes with a custom back cover..but instead of the all fat ones like the Cameron Sino one the top bit where the speaker and camera are is still slimmer..only the bulge where the battery is is fatter...personally I think that doesnt look as good as all fat cover (not as natural..looks more like an add on) but I guess with this way there's no black edges on the corner of photo's like some people are reporting with the all fat ones.
Anyway..there's a few sellers on ebay selling them but this is the cheapest I found:
http://cgi.ebay.com.au/3500M-EXTEND...092212?pt=PDA_Accessories&hash=item2a0b1d3df4
Ha ha...I see its now USD $13 posted..yesterday when I clicked by now it was only USD $10.99
For me about AUD $11.48..(since current exchange rate is great now the time for us Aussies to buy from the U.S )
I bought it on Ebay for 11 Euro.
Looks good for long trips

Damn,he's now dropped the price again.This time down to USD $10.15! Thats even cheaper than what I paid..come on guys...gotta try it for that price..
I have already got the Cameron Sino 3000mah battery, but at 6.61GBP i thought i might as well order this one. Might well be a load of crap and might not even arrive, but its worth a go
Exactly.
I got the 3000mah Cameron Sino one too but had to try this one for that price.
Plus,dont forget,the back cover is a little different. Only the bottom section is fat,the top,where the camera and speaker are remains thinner so anyone who had complaints of the Cameron Sino all fat back cover making black edges around photos and the speaker a little muffled shouldnt complain here.
(Despite looking a little worse though I think)
Does anyone know how long this battery can hold a charge for?
would it be about 2.2xs longer?
Does anyone know a case that fits this? Preferably one that stays permanently on like those silicon ones?
What i don't get is that all of the extended batteries are so BIG..
Why not make a battery that is about 2 milimeter thicker and a case that only is bigger above the battery compartment..
In other words if you extend the 2/3 mm high hump on the regular cover about 1.5 inch on the SGS, you would have more room to put in a little bigger (2200mah) battery and you would still have a nice looking phone..
I would also like to know if theres any cases available for this size format. And its so weird how the capacity is ~2x more, but the size is 4x more lol.
My god, grrrr more batteries to buy! I'm starting to have way too many batteries. But its sooo cheap!!

Hmm.. A li-ion Polymore batter could be moulded to almost any shape and hold just a tad lower amps.. But they tend to be hell expensive compared to brick size li-ions that we rock. Iphones use li-ion polymore batts. But yeh, What i'm saying is taht we COULD get a decent size and shape but it would prob cost 2-3x more. I would love a batt thats say 2mm thick and cover whole back of the device which would maybe give it about 2500mah or more.

Gee,I see the prices have increased.When I bought mine you could get them for under USD$11 posted. As I did.
I have 3500mAh baterry now. It can joice my phone for a week, but it is kinda heavy and ugly, so I am using it only if I have to leave town for a weekend. It can survive even hard usage, playing games, and such. Took it from eBay.
I got mine delivered today. Charging as we speak. I ran across a site that exposes fake batteries and worry if this 3500mah battery is really just a big 2000mah battery now. Heres the site. What I noticed is that these ultra expensive Mugen batteries are so lowly rated. It seems that OEM batteries are best but they don't have a 3000mah battery! Hmmmmmmm

1500 mAh battery DealExtreme $8.70

About a month ago I was browsing DealExtreme for some stuff and I ran into this for only $8.70: 3.7V 1500mAh Battery with Battery Charger + EU Plug Power Adapter Set for HTC desire Z
I ordered the 1500 mAh battery and nearly three weeks later it arrived in a yellow envelope. It works great and it comes with a wall charger for the extra battery (WITH some colourful LEDs (pink for charging and blue just for fun)). As I was just about to write this notification I browsed DX again and also found this one:
Replacement 3.7V 1500mAh Cellphone Battery with Charger for HTC Desire Z/Vision/BB96100. You might notice the lack of European power plug support, but it also is $0.70 less
You might also notice the USB port. I just tested it and it seems to be working (the red notification LED is on, but the battery icon doesn't change, might be due to the fact that the battery is already full).
I tested it and it works, so now it's up to you guys to order one if you are in need of an extra (cheap) battery!
Edit: On the wall charger is the following written on a label: For T7373 Touch Pro2 (HTC Touch Pro2/T7373/T7388/T8388)
So the battery of the HTC Vision might be the same as the Touch Pro 2?
Anyway, just thought I should share.

There are a number of other HTC batteries that would work (or could work). Good find.
Note: I've had the same charger for my HD2 batteries. Be extremely careful when you whip out the prongs. I had a set snap on me, rendering the charger useless.

I noticed the Temperature display that SetCPU has built in doesn't seem to show the proper temperature with the DX batteries. Caps out at 25 and it is definitely hotter than that.

I got a freebie 1600mAh battery from an EVO4G and I peeled the tape off so it would fit. I noticed on the metal cover it said 1200mAh.

I hava a touch pro with a 1800mAh and the original 1500mAh battery, so after reading the post I pulled it out of the drawer. Unfortunately it doesn't fit without modifications. The size and location of the pins is the same, but there are 2 plastic slots on either side at the base of the battery that prevents it from being used.

Would it work the other way round then? Aka putting the Desire Z battery in the Touch Pro 2?
The other way around it doesn't fit either. Just tried and made come pictures to show you why.

Thanks for uploading the pictures. There is only a teeny tiny piece of plastic in the way... I understand that you don't want to cut if off though. Too bad it doesn't fit.
to those that have purchased this battery, how many hours are total are you getting this with moderate use?
Thought you guys might be interested...DX now has a 3000mAh battery with plastic back cover for $13.90.

I received my EC Technology 2800mah for my S4 last week,bought from Amazon US for a very nice price of 9$ only :laugh:
It's not NFC ready.
It has the same dimensions as the stock 2600mah from Samsung though with an extra 200mah and a few grams more,so yes it fits perfectly your S4 with the original battery cover.
So +200mah really make a difference?
Yes!
At least with me it lasted about half a day more than with my stock 2600mah battery.
I used Viber for about 50 mins,WIFI was ON for at least 6 hours,screen brightness was on Auto +5 (highest auto-brightness),about 30 mins of GSM calls,1 hour of Whatsapp,music in car with BT and screen half of the time ON for 1 hour...

It has the same dimensions as the stock 2600mah from Samsung though with an extra 200mah and a few grams more,so yes it fits perfectly your S4 with the original battery cover.
So +200mah really make a difference?
Yes!
At least with me it lasted about half a day more than with my stock 2600mah battery.
I used Viber for about 50 mins,WIFI was ON for at least 6 hours,screen brightness was on Auto +5 (highest auto-brightness),about 30 mins of GSM calls,1 hour of Whatsapp,music in car with BT and screen half of the time ON for 1 hour...

Could you continue testing for a few more days and post back? 200 mah is a 7% increase in battery capacity and you are reporting 12 hours of additional battery life. Although this loses NFC functionality, this still sounds to good to be true, but in case it is true, I want one!
Opteka makes a 3000mAh replacement that works great. NFC support is lacking. I bought a Note 2 antennae for NFC to stick inside the battery door. NFC issue solved.

Any chance you could post a link for that antenna?
Thanks in advance :good:

The one on Amazon says it has NFC?
Yeah, I know. I have it. You can try but my NFC doesn't work with that battery. I tried. I got the Note solution. I got my battery directly from Opteka.

So do you actually notice a difference compared to stock battery? How much screen on time do you get on average? Also, zerolemon or opteka?
I got the Opteka because they have a two year warranty and I know them from their camera equipment. I haven't really checked the screen time. Before the battery I could get through the day if I was careful. Now it doesn't matter. YMMV

I too have the $8.99 Opteka from Amazon. It weighs 44g, the same exact weight as the stock battery. I don't see how they can squeeze an extra 400 mAh reserve capacity without doing this (and I don't think they're capable of doing that - I'm sure this is just a relabeled core). Furthermore, my real life experience with it after a few charges shows no improvement over stock, with similar usage pattern (checked with Better Battery Stats). If anyone felt an improvement over stock, it's very possible that the stock was a dud or the usage pattern is different or it's placebo. But take this with a grain of salt - I'm not discounting anyone's experience with Opteka, it's just my own direct observation.
I already ordered a Qi receiver with NFC antenna, so I'm returning the Opteka and going to try ZeroLemon next. Might be difficult to close the battery door with the ZeroLemon and the Qi/Nfc plate, but we'll see...

Is this the one you're talking about?

Want to buy one, but only if it fits in the s4, without have to change cover on the back

Trying this weird M-COM brand Battery, Claims to have 5000 mAH

So, I just bought this battery
Probably you guys haven't seen brand like this before
M-COM (Claims to be 5000 mAH in capacity)
Surprisingly this battery have temperature sensor.
I see lot of you guys having problem with battery replacement with built in temperature sensor in other thread.
Bought it for IDR 90.000 (6,5 USD) from local online shop.

Well here goes nothing.
I crack open my angler and recognizes that this battery cable is shorter about 1mm, but it's a no problem for me, just pull a little bit force an viola.
(btw metrics are different here)
It booted up so I try downloading Accu Battery app.
Been using this battery for 3 hours for now, I charge this fella up for a little time and got 4% for 140-160 mAH
Here is my rough calculation
Estimated real battery capacity
3800-4300 mAH instead 5000 mAH
I'll keep you guys updated when Accu Battery done it's job
Any update?

Turns out pretty legit.
Currently showing 3100 mAH
With 4-5 hour SoT (mostly watching youtube)

You mind posting a part number? It's about that time on mine, and this seems as good an option as any.

I don't think it have one, i looked both battery and package only seeing plain and branding, sorry.
There's barcode actually (8547182249565)
I heard that barcode are unique to a product but, i couldn't find its use (google won't show anything) rather than pointlessly scanning at them.
That's about right. Thanks for looking.
Hi just curious to know how is it going?
No added thickness? how is it performing?

No thickness added, performs good.
No issue at all. except I forgot to mention that the unit is a bit shorter, enough to make a wiggle inside if you don't stick an adhesive in there so i wedge a folded paper at the bottom of battery slot to keep the battery in place.

It's good, now showing stable 3200 mAh.
You swapped the battery out yourself, I'm guessing?
How difficult is it to do yourself? I heard its easy to crack the camera lens and break a few other parts while doing this and not being an expert, would it be impossible for a first timer? Would I need any other special tools besides pry tool? My N6P battery experience has been terrible.

It is pretty easy to crack the camera lens, so it's highly recommended to buy a spare camera lens part in case the old one breaks. I'm going to be replacing both the battery AND the entire back metal frame soon. Here's a video that demonstrates how to replace both: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UetgEdh7mDc

I just replaced my battery and I would recommend getting an X-acto knife and a heat gun. The heat gun helps soften the glue to make it easier to remove everything and the X-acto knife I used to pry everything apart. It took me about 30 minutes to replace the battery.

Yeah a heat gun would make the disassembly much more easier. Luckily I work at this phone booth (for installing screen protectors) and we have a heat gun there. I'm probably gonna do the whole installation at my workplace, we don't get much customers anyways lol.

Hi, BTW this is my 1st post here
Could you please try testing with "Ampere"?
PlayStore: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.gombosdev.ampere&hl=en_US
I've used both AccuBattery and Ampere. On my Nexus 6p with original OEM battery it displays:
Max Capaity: 3450 mAh
Estimate Life: 70%
Currently running:
Pixelboot's Lineage 17 with the 4 Core Boot image in hopes that disabling the "4 Big Cores" (ARM Cortex-A57) should help battery life but based on my testing it doesn't help and in fact seems that battery drains faster
TESTING:
Ampere - Power while Idle: min: -220 mA to max: -370 mA
Ampere - Power playing Video: min: -600 mA to max - 910 mA (Only 2 apps open)
Ampere - Power switching Apps: min: -600 mA to max - 1120 mA
To put in perspective,
Battery loss down 1% for every 1 minute
Undoubtedly I need to replace my battery

With all those extra things to buy I'm not sure its worth it at this point as the phone with working parts can be found for $100-150 these days, I'll probably put any cash I've saved twords a future model and leave this as a sort of tablet use with a charge cable handy.

Um well that's basically what my 6P is lol. It's a used 6P that I bought for $90, and am looking to replace its faulty battery and damaged back. In fact, I just did the replacement yesterday. The parts required is not a big deal, it's the disassembly that's a huge pain.
The camera visor and plastic bottom were fairly easy to remove with the heat gun, but the metal cover took a fair bit of struggle to get it off, and in the end it damaged a bit of the display's plastic rim. The hardest part was removing the battery, which was absolutely hell. The battery adhesive is literally glued shut onto the frame, and it takes a lot of force and pressure to get it out. And the dilemma is that if you use too much force, you are risking of puncturing the battery, which I unfortunately did. Waited till next day for the battery to cool down (from the puncture) and I slowly managed to removed it by using plastic gift cards instead of the metal wedge tool that I used before.
Was a tricky experience, but in the end it worked out.
Glad it worked out. I'm terrible with handling these type of tiny electronic components I know I would surely break it heheh.
Be interesting to track your new battery with something like AccuBattery and see if it infact keeps its rated capacity over time. I noticed some bad after market batteries look like there performing well at first and then suddenly the maximum capacity starts dramatically falling after each charge cycle.
