I know better, but I was an excited fool and started using the G Tablet out of the box after initially charging the battery to 50% or so.
These cells need a good strong charge on first use.
I'm noticing the battery is only lasting for about 4-5 hours on a full charge.
I'm planning on keeping this device for a while and the cells eventually go bad anyway. I'm thinking of replacing the battery..
So I was wondering if anybody has opened the device and seen how the battery is connected (I really hope it's not soldered) and the make/model of the cell itself.
- it would be beneficial to all to know what to replace the battery with later on down the road when it reaches the end of life.

I'm asking for the make/model or any identifying marks.
I can't make any of that out in any of the images in that thread.
hey there!
the title is right! i have a serious problem with my maxx's battery.
i searched in xda forum but i couldn't catch any same results. first i should tell u that i'm not living in U.S so I'm not using 4g LTE...
my droid maxx battery is draining really fast. it can't stand more than a single day of normal usage,the same results of the ultra. I'm not using any mobile networks,I'm just using wi-fi for internet connections. but the result on battery monitoring says that the screen is draining battery,which i dont use it really much! in the battery section in setting,screen used about 46%!!! for example i just unlocked the phone for checking it's battery,2 times in just 30 minutes,and each time the screen went on,the battery percentage got down by 1%. I was using a droid maxx HD before,its battery could run for more than 3 days for me on a normal usage! but my maxx barely goes more than a single day. what can i do? change battery? or any changing in software?
i'm on 4.4 android,not rooted.
i should add that it's about 17 hours which i'm on safe mode,in this 13 hours i was sleeping about 9 hours.and when i started on safe mode it had 62% of battery. now it's 42%!!!!!
sorry for bad english,
thanks for helping
Have you thought about switching batteries?

I bought the phone from ebay everything of the phone works normally and it does not get hot. and how can i know if the battery is original or not? (i used a program to get the battery details...it did not give me the result about a fake battery.)
should i open the phone?
(I'm not sure about this,but i think battery is original,cause in motorola forums i read some similar problems...but they changed their phones in verizon stores,which i don't have access to them)

I wouldn't open the phone up to check. if the phone has a removable back on it that you can take off to look and see if the manufacturer has put their name on it. Otherwise, there isn't a good way to check I guess. Sorry
is there any software which can check this out?
Well, you can buy a new battery on ebay, that's what I'm going to do, I'm using an Ultra battery for now, the XT1080M batteries are between 30-35 on ebay, and I consider it very cheap for the capacity.

you know,it's a good choice,but if i buy a battery,i have to change it by myself...so i should open the back of the phone by myself...and as u can see i live in iran,it takes about a month to recive the battery. so if i have to order a new battery, I have to make sure about the battery..any ideas for knowing the originality of battery by any software?

Not that I am aware of. You would have to buy a new battery and see if it helps. I suggest a Mugen battery. Have a great weekend!
battery is original
Well, they said that the way to calibrate the battery is use it until is depleted, then... when its off connect it to the wall charger and don't turn the phone on until the battery icon marks 100%, turn it on and it is supposed to be calibrated, or I don't know...
For the battery swapping, you need the Motorola EU40 battery, thats the MAXX one, a Torx 3 screwdriver, a Torx 5 screwdriver and a plastic prying tool... you can search in Google on how to open the Droid Ultra/Maxx and it's easy, if you have the correct screwdrivers of couser... Good Luck!

thanks dude,I will try, but there is just one question, I read on motorola forums that using phone until the battery goes to 0% is dangerous for the battery. Is it true? or i will do this. and i hope the problem would solve..or i have to buy the battery...

It's fine, just drain until it ships off by itself. Plug it in and charge to 100% with the phone off the whole time. . I do this once a month to Calibrate the battery and it helps. Never had a problem

Hi. I'm new and I hope you can help me.
My Moto G is about to arrive and I was wondering what's the first thing I should do with it? Should I charge it right out of the box? Should I turn it on and then charge? How long should the first charge be?
Also, I have read this phone has alot of problems with charging, especially when the battery gets to 0%. What are your suggestions to prevent these problems (such as the phone not turning on/charging, etc)?
Thanks in advance.
Just take it out of the box and use it like you have it for months. No special care needed.
The battery drop problem occurs to some users due to unknown reasons, possibly coz of use of noisy/bad charges or improper charge via computer usb port.

OMGoodness..Sir..
Certainly, Moto recommends a full charge before using the device, like everyone else does..but..consider the battery is at a low activity state, and charge at least to 50%..because you'll need it for initial setup..its just a precaution..you certainly can wait for a good charge on the device..boot to stock settings..charge..then proceed..
Everyone has opinions on this matter..but..boot, charge..surely one CAN wait that long, for a 50% charge..LOL
I own (1) XT1028 and (2) XT1045's and have no trouble with battery issues..its all in how you maintain the charge..A backup, external battery that is OTG USB is nice to have with you at all times, just incase..
The way we treat/maintain the device battery, is the life of that battery..
Anyhow..you will certainly be pleased with your new Moto G..

Battery-wise since Li-Ion it isn't better to perform full cycles, in fact, the most healthy thing for a Lithium based battery is to keep it between 40% and 80% all the time, and to store it at 40-60% charge.
That full cycle and stuff are useful for other kinds of batteries, but on Lithium you there's little you can do as the battery isn't new when you buy the device (they charge it and let it go 40-60% charge to store it for retail since it is the best for lithium). It is actually bad for the battery to go over 85% charge as it increases the chance to get undesired reactions in the cells that degrade the capacity. I'm impressed at how manufacturers confuse people with weird battery myths in their user manuals...
I got an SM-G920I, which obtained on my carrier. The device has serious battery problems, because it has less than a year of use and the battery is discharged rapidly. No lasts beyond 12 hours with something like 2-3hrs SOT.
The technical service of my carrier is horrible, often they delivered reconditioned devices as new and sometimes even cost make them understand the problem with the device. Moreover, the Samsung repair service is from third party and only covers devices purchased in their stores. It is why I have been looking on ebay batteries, for replacement by myself.
I wonder if someone has bought a battery (on eBay or Amazon) and has made replacement on its Galaxy S6. You have any references? any manufacturer suggested? any comments?
I have some experience tearing down my galaxys but now that the back cover is glued is a hassle.
You need a heat gun, not just a hair dryer..it is difficult and it weakens the solidity of the phone. ..
My suggestion, first try a factory reset, yours seems to be some battery drain caused by an app or a service or an internal error, 2-3h sot are normal, 12th in sleep are almost normal, something that make me think of a wakelock.
Otherwise contact directly samsung

Well, I understand the incovenient that will get after remove and glue again the back cover, but is a risk I want to take. Also tried factory reset, too many times, also tried different stock roms. Also i know that battery usage is relative "normal" but there are times that when using device is like flushing batter, 10-20% just only in minutes and only reading feeds on wifi.
Generally this is not a big big problem because always are plugs availables to get my fastcharger. But when working on field always have to activate saving mode or even ultra saving. Sometimes get 8 hours on 2 or less SOT so, Its kind weird.
I will make a call to samsung support to check if they could help. But also keep waiting for someone else who has made this replacement. Thanks!
Used to work in a phone repair store myself, and Samsungs are very tricky to do if you've no experience with it. I'd recommend buying the battery, then paying someone to put it in for you
I think most of us had heard that Moto Z has a erratic/bizarrre/high batery drain in one or another way.
For my case it's a broken battery and i think it affect entire battery lots but Moto never accept and recall its.
I will share my experience.
According to this topic https://forums.lenovo.com/t5/Moto-Z/Moto-Z-extreme-battery-drain-after-7-1-1-update/td-p/3758100.
There is 100+ pages and numerous people affect by this issue around the world.
Me live Thailand. My Moto Z model is XT1650-03, Dual SIM.
I bought a second hand phone. It's come with Nougat 7.1.1
My previous phone is Xiaomi Mi4C that has a SOT around 3-4 hour [with 3000 mAh]
So when i got Moto Z. SOT is aound 3-4 hours. with 2600 mAh I think it normal. [My use is texting LINE, internet, on WIFI most of the time]
After 2 month I got update to Oreo.
I notice battery is drop fast than normal. I use better batery stat and waklock detector to nail down the cause.
But all is normal. Phone is almost in deep sleep. when use battery is drain aound 4-5%/Hr or more.
Then i start to google and found above topic and similar in another website.
Moto web moderator usuallly suggest these method
1. If happen after update please clear cache through Recovery
2. Do a baterry calibration [force restart then use turbo power supply to chardge till 100%, leave it overnight]
3. If above fail do a factory rest.
I try method 1. and fail
When use method 2 . It notice a weired battery percentage
- before force restart no matter % of battery when restart % will suddenly drop [e.g. 85-->45, 90-->2]
- this make me more curious
- after charge with turbo power adaptor to 100% and leave overnight. I try to force restart again. guess what the battery % is suddenly drop again .
- after try many time i come to conclude that "IT'S NOT A SOFTWARE. IT'S A HEARWARE ISSUE"
I go to Moto service center and tell them abou tthis battey drain.
They smile and said that "This happen frequenly. It's a battery defect"
My phone still under warranty so it's free.
FYI : if out of warranty cost is around 40$ [PS. In thailand] not too pricy for battey+labor cost [this phone is hardly to replace battery by yourself]
With new battery Moto Z is a monster in SOT. I got SOT 4 Hrs. with remain 45 % battery. With my usage i think 7-8 Hrs. is possible.
To sum up
Those who face a erratic/bizarrre/high batery drain.
Please try to do battery calibration first. But if you find suddenly drop in battery % after force restart. It's a broken battery.
Go to Moto service center ASAP.
No software update can fix this.
For 7.1.1 update that emerg this issue.
In my humble opinion i think no software can do damage to battery. In worst case, poor sotware will cuase huge waklock and baterry drain but not suddenly drop after restart.
It's maybe coincidence that this 7.1.1 update come out around the time that defect battery show the sign.
For further battery save up.
I found that in Oreo. without Root we can limit background activity.[this look like function in MIUI rom]
App that optimize for Oreo doesn't has this function.
So it's for old gen app that developer didn't update their code.

I just got a moto z and today I am seeing this exact same problem. i'm playing around with it now doing some other ways of calibrating. I am on Oreo and wondering if Nougat would be more battery friendly on these phones ?
Android version doesn't relate with this problem.
If you familiar with ADB. You can install Better battery stat and Wakelock detector without root. To identify app and process that consume battery.
For easy way. Android battery stat in setting is informative enough to this task.
You can summary all battery % lost and compare to your remaining battery. If your battery isn't broke. This value should be linear.
In my case there is missing % more than 20%

Yeah I am familiar with adb. But my problem is that, at this time anyhow, is that when I reboot I lose like 30% battery or something stupid which makes me think software. But after doing alot more reading at this point it would seem like it's a defective battery. That would be a first for me to have an android phone with a defective battery. So that's why at this point I'm just thinking software for the most part. Mainly cause i bricked my device when I tried to root it with oreo. I'm trying to downgrade now which I have done but now having modem issues.
I have a moto z too and i did the force restart and then the battery dropped from 38 to 6% i did it again and got up to 15 y did it again and stays in 6%, did it again and stays on six then un five and down, always with my usage, i got 3:40 at max of sot, and about 2 minutes-3, per % of battery, do you think is software or i shoud go to replace the battery

You have situation similar to me.
If you have warranty or financial isn't issue, don't hesitate to try replace battery.
You know this is actually quite funny to me. I had three replacement phones for this issue. I contacted Motorola and complained like crazy they charged me holding fees and crap till they got my defective model. Weirdest thing, every model had different battery life and performance. One model actually fried chargers one by one. So irritating, I thought Motorola was a good company. I told them, biggest issue I've had with phones in the past was them cracking, so I bought a shatter proof phone. Well whats the point of having a shatter proof display if I go through three of them in a year for faulty batteries?
Also it took about my 10th phone call for me to be transferred to someone that actually spoke proper English........
They couldn't even pronounce my name. My name is Adam....... (Aedum) lol
Called a supervisor, still couldn't pronounce my name...
After begging to speak to a manager for like an hr strait and being transferred to more people who could not speak proper English.
The last guy said ill transfer you to my manager in another building. The second he answered the phone I asked if they were even in the same country, nope lol. Regardless, it was weird, once I had made it to this person he was offering to send me free things, did the last phone replacement without a holding fee, etc.
Why am I still ranting.........
Point is, I used to love Motorola.
I do not anymore for this reason specifically lol.
Edit: Never guess what happened, my current Moto z force stopped charging.
I am never buying a Moto phone again.
4 out of 4 Motorola phones.....
Gonna take it apart now lol
I'm doubting my battery now as well. I've even factory reset and still have a big issue.
Standby time is ok, but with the screen on, my battery level drops like a rock. Almost 1% per minute. So I'd be lucky to get about an hour and a half or so on a full charge. (Of screen time) And that's not gaming or anything else battery intensive. Mostly just XDA Labs.
So after factory resetting and seeing no change, I'm convinced my battery itself is messed up. Luckily I have the Turbo power battery mod, so I can get through a day. But I'll be phone shopping soon.
Not going to be bitter, will probably get a Z3. Too many mods to buy anything else. Plus I've had the Moto X, N6, Moto Z and my wife has Z2 Play, so I'm a Moto fan! All good phones. This battery thing is my first issue.
I've had problems with my battery too. After 5 or 6 hours of a complete recharge, a new charge was needed. So I've bought a new one on Ebay and received yesterday.
Now, after replacement, my Moto Z is working absolutely fine, just like when was brand new. Today I've used some mods. Here in Brazil we have a digital TV mod with battery, but the recharging was off to test the new battery. Also play music for almost 2 hours with Moto Speaker, that doesn't have a internal battery.
And now, 11 hours after last charging there's 36% remaining, with 6 hours estimated.
So I really recommend replace the battery.
@Tlucent could you say me further information about the battery replacement?
I bought a Moto Z from LightInTheBox and I don't received yet, but I read some comments about this issue. When and if I have this issue I need know how resolve.
What the model/reference of battery do you bought?
The replacement is easy and trusted?
Thanks
Motorola worst support
I've got the same problem and sent my phone for repair after contact with Moto support and unsuccessful re-calibration of the battery. Few days later I got a reply that my phone wouldn't be repaired according to the warranty conditions because the screen glass has a small crack and this is the ostensible reason for the battery failure.
So all I have to say is GOOD BUY MOTOROLA!
Finally I have sent my motoZ for battery replacement last month.
It is working well now, battery can survive around half day (~10hrs) for my usage,
or ~5hrs in heavy use (nearly nonstop web, IM text, videos)
However since it is already out of warranty, it cost 60 bucks from local dealer.
If you find your phone (any) battery drain, standby and usage hrs shortened,
and, battery level dropped (alot) after power off then On,
that means the battery is already EOL (end-of-life).
The so-called recalilbate is usless !
Do factory-reset is meaningless !!!
That was the worst battery I have even seen, it just last for a year.
Some said the battery is from LG, holy ~
On ebay you can find the battery (GV30) for around $10,
but I do not recommend replace it yourselves.
Here are some tips to prolong Li-ion battery.
1. charge it whenever you can!
2. do not use up till 0% if possible, try charge it before it reach 40%
3. try charge it till 80% then unplug charger, this will extend its cycle life by not to wear out its recharge cycle too soon!
4. try keep your phone cool, high temperature will help chemical form, means shorten its life.
The problem is the battery cell's chemistry. it is crap. I've used my Z for about 9 months and now it is less than half capacity according to Accubattery and power can be cut if I do something intensive below 50%. Same thing had happened to my old midrange Moto G4. Stay away from Motorola phones.
I've recently had more than enough out of my Z2 play. Since day one it's lagged and froze often, even after wipes, resets and even reflashing the factory firmware. I think I just got a lemon, but didn't get it in before warranty expired.
My Z has been in a drawer all this time, with a fried battery. It even was shutting down at about 60 percent, which took about 30 minutes of screen time to get to from 100. So definitely my battery was no good.
So, instead of living with the awful Z2 I got, and let the warranty expire on, I'm getting my Z's battery replaced and the camera glass replaced. (it was scratched up bad.) For not much at all. 7 bucks for the battery and glass. Lol
I'm excited to get back on my Z! It was better than the Z2 anyway, even with none of my Z2 issues. My fingers are crossed that my battery life will go back to how it was when I first got my Z. That and the Turbo Power mod are all the battery life I need. :good:
same battery issue with my moto z ( one Yr old) , finally I have sent my moto Z for battery replacement yesterday ..

My Z has been in a drawer all this time, with a fried battery. It even was shutting down at about 60 percent, which took about 30 minutes of screen time to get to from 100. So definitely my battery was no good.
So, instead of living with the awful Z2 I got, and let the warranty expire on, I'm getting my Z's battery replaced and the camera glass replaced. (it was scratched up bad.) For not much at all. 7 bucks for the battery and glass. Lol
I'm excited to get back on my Z! It was better than the Z2 anyway, even with none of my Z2 issues. My fingers are crossed that my battery life will go back to how it was when I first got my Z. That and the Turbo Power mod are all the battery life I need. :good:

where did you get the battery and glass for 7$ from?
I do not recommend more motorola among my friends and family
I have a Motorola Moto Maxx with about 3 years in use and its battery still works, with less capacity, but it does.
And I have a Moto Z XT1650-3, this with 11 months in use started with the known problem of the battery, component trash!
I have the Moto mod battery, and so I used it for about two more weeks since the internal battery problem started.
The internal battery 100% charge, and restart the device and the battery is already 30%, I connect it again to load and in a few minutes reaches 100% and we know what happens if I disconnect and restart.
The moto mod gives some autonomy, but once it runs out, or the internal battery has been completely discharged, there is no way that the device turns on again, until the charger is connected.
So, knowing that Lenovo does not sell this battery, I decided to take the risk of separating the screen to extract the damaged battery.
And already installed the generic battery that I bought (with the motorola logos) the device is functional again, the load remains decent, and ... only a small problem XD the generic battery is fatter than the original, so my screen in the lower area of the touch remains detached around almost 1 mm, and this is risky because in a bad move something can get stuck and detach the screen.
These days I will buy a second battery, but genuine, removal of damaged equipment, says the seller.
I leave you images of what the fake motorola battery looks like and the original battery photo.
Regards!
Same bad health battery here! Moto Z doing crazy things with the battery percentage.
I need to know if the brand new batteries are still erratic after some months or Motorola knows the issue and provides good-health ones? Is it worth it?
for those who replaced the battery, did they use original or alternative battery?
