I was looking to purchase the 2 batteries plus charger for around 10 bux or so on ebay, but there are a variety of sellers, If you made this purchase who was your seller and what was the experience in terms of both shipping time and quality of the batteries? there is one seller on there that shows pictures of the batteries that says its "made in japan/finished in china", wonder if thats a better battery? Thanks!

I have two from spider foot they don't last as long as the oem. Good for backup though.
I just got my order from spiderfoot yesterday. It was 11.99 for two batts and charger plus usb cord and car charger. I ordered on the 28th of Dec so that's what, about 13 days? Not too bad for snail mail I suppose. I got one charged up before work yesterday and it lasted 6+ hours with fairly heavy use, I have a boring job at times. The other one I charged last night has 51% left and has been running my phone since around midnite, moderate use(I do sleep!). Bottom line for me is I now have three batteries and a way to charge them outside the phone so having three charged overnite isn't a hassle. What do you want for 11.99 anyway? Lastly, the charger gets them to 100% unlike the screwy samsung charging system or code...finally full batteries again! Like I said before, what do you want for 11.99?

Kinda reminds me of a $20 dollar hooker. You got the clap. You get what you pay for. Why do you think it was so cheap?
You save money by buying a cheapass battery from someone in china. You know how much they cut corners to maximize profit? Don't cry when a lithium ion battery explodes or catches fire in your pocket. Even the chinese living in america know better than to buy stuff made in china. They know it's crap. I work with them, I see it all the time.

Talk about uninformed. You think they go through drastically different quality control? And go ahead and find me the articles from exploding batteries since you know millions of them are made in China each year. . . . .
Maybe you should lay off hookers no matter how much they cost . . . .

Very funny response. I'm tempted to scoop a bobo battery and charger too off Ebay. I find myself charging my phone 2x a day. I think I'll stay with domestic sellers though. Makes business a lil easier for a few different reasons.

Lol surprisingly I don't. That and I think it would be much easier to solve any issue that may arise dealing with someone in the States over someone halfway across the world. There are certain expectations that are implied.

Last time I think I found someone who imported them from China and sold them on ebay for a couple of extra dollars, so it was basically the same. I've done this for numerous phones (just neurotic if not a bad battery) and I have never had a problem. I WILL say that the generics don't always seem to last as long (maybe not on first charge but they may die quicker) than the OEM one I got, but I also got an OEM off Ebay that was DOA so go figure.
As for blowing up in your pocket....I'd be more afraid of dying quickly etc. I doubt it will blow up, link please
went ahead and purchased from spider-foot, so far no explosion lol, can't complain for 11 bux...thanks
i was planning to buy the Seidio extended but found out about this sale & decided to buy it.
That is a great price. I got mine for around $41 after tax. That's with a 25% discount. When did you buy it?

I bought the ext. battery a few months ago, but just started using it regularly last week. Witht he Seidio ext. cover and case, the phone is a brick, but I love it. Ext battery lasts me easily all day with heavy use.
the thunderbolt is a bust.. It needs to look like a freaking brick and to feel like one in order to function like it should out of the box.
It would be nicer if it didn't have the hype going in.. this phone is really all hype, as there are many phones already better then this phone in a short time span, without nearly half as much hype.
bust
Get a life dude.

hahaha, start a thread slamming the TB and go on every post to complaint. think you are the noob here. i am totally happy with it, i get 10+hrs easy on a custom rom, if that was/is your complaint.
well, you could always get a different phone...and i am sure you will find faults with it.
i am happy with the dev's working on the TB and putting out amazing ROM's. think you shoudl try them out before starting up.
I agree. The extended battery works great for me. It's not as bad as some people make it seem. I for sure don't think its a "bust". Pros outweigh the cons for me.

I got the HTC extrended battery & cover from my local Verizon store about two weeks ago for ~$40 after tax due to my company discount. It is so nice not to have to worry about how much I surf the net, text or talk on the phone. Even after 12 hours of moderate use my battery averages ~50%, which is not too shabby.
I also bought the Seidio Active Extended case, but was not too impressed with the plastic kickstand and overall bulk. Believe it or not, I ended up using the High Gloss Silicone Cover for Extended Battery case that I purchased for ~$15 at the Verizon store. Though using the power/volume buttons was a little tough until the case was broken-in, it just feels less bulky and seems to offer better protection than the Seidio case (IMHO).
Got my extended 2 months ago and couldn't be happier. I went in the Verizon store complaining about battery life and how I can't use this phone anymore and they gave me the battery for $20 to shut me up Lol
Other Options
If you don't want to get an extended battery but you want some extended time there are some good deals on batteries on amazon. I saw on there you can get 2 regular 1400 mah batteries plus a wall charger for the batteries for $20. All the reviews seemed positive too. It's really just another option, and cheaper too.
Is it still on sale I need it bad!!
Sent from my ADR6400L using XDA Premium App
Do it. It bulky no question, but the added bulk actually makes it easier to hold. And I use the pi** out of my phone and it lasts from 6:30am until the following morning without touching a charger. I'm running chingy's 3d...but I suspect it would do that on just about on any custom ROM.

agreed, bought that deal, plus an extra battery charger for about 5 bucks so I have 2 batteries always ready to go.
What are you doing to make your battery drain so fast? I use my phone on AO5PTH3ORY with cooked in kernal and I am getting about 10 hours + when usage steady all day, on WiFi 3g/4g, email, text, internet. Try to flash a different radio if you are rooted for better signal (that worked for my cell phone standby drainage) or flash a different kernal (try dream kernel I hear great things)

I got 2 batteries off Ebay with an external wall charger for less than 10 bucks, and if you want to pay 5 bucks more you can get 3 batteries. Once I flashed to AOSP Rom I have not needed my extra batteries I have been unplugged for 7 hours with moderate use and I am still at 77%

Guys I just bought for 16 dollars a 2400mah battery from amazon. I have prime so I did not pay shipping. I was a bit skeptical about buying it because its dead cheap and people were talking about batteries being fake and stuff. I don't know what the real specs are on the battery if I rip the label off but I don't care. All I know is that with my heavy use I can still have 40 percent battery by night fall. I do use CM nightly everynight updated and have gps and data on all data. Plus I heavily use my phone. With GPS even yesterday. This battery has been a life saver for me compared to the orginal battery. I will say, you better not miss having a slim phone. This thing comes with a massive back cover which I don't mind because I already am used to that from my G1 battery. Also the back cover is not shiny like the stock cover. But again it goes better with the border of the phone so I don't mind. I highly suggest giving it a look if your in the market for a new battery.
Have you done any practical benchmark testing to find out what the real energy retention on this battery is and what its drain rates and charge rates are? What is the true mAh as opposed to the advertised?
Your spastic prattling is worthless and can only be discounted as hyperbole until you produce genuine data.
I have the practical benchmark in my pants.

Oh!
But seriously, while it sounds great, it's probably too good to be true. I was always skeptical of putting a cheap knockoff battery in my $500 phone. You get what you pay for most of the time.
It may work out great for you, but I don't want to be the one who's battery explodes, just not worth the risk to me.
Sent from my T-mobile G2 using Tapatalk
I think most stories I can think of with exploding batteries were not the generic kind but from "brand name" manufacturers. Although I guess you could be right, I don't see this exploding. If it does I have bad luck. for now I am loving how long it last for the price.

I got these about a month and a half ago, http://www.dealextreme.com/p/3-7v-3500mah-high-capacity-battery-pack-with-back-cover-for-htc-desire-z-55616
I'm quite happy with it, lasts me over 2 days on light use, and about 18 hours - moderate use.
i ordered one for 10 bucks off ebay from china, no joke, thing lasts 2 days light use, and a full day heavy use.
3500mAh 3.7vDC
Problem is how massive the battery is, it has a pretty beefy back-plate extention to it...
Overall though, I don't regret getting it. thing works 10x better imo.

I recently bought a nexus 4 to replace my s2 and I was wondering what battery you guys/gals use as an external or if you've heard of any good ones that you can suggest.
I want to avoid muggen because of their terribly high prices. Looking to spend under $25 yet I don't want to order some nameless one on eBay as they're capacity is questionable.
I've Googled a bit, but I always think the best opinions come from actual consumers and not just reviewers
I bought one of these before http://ncix.com/products/?sku=80896 but it could only charge up to 30% of my phone so i returned it. I guess the output of AA's makes it less efficient in charging a phone that needs 1-2amps
Oh and I'm in canada so I would prefer prices/products that aren't USA only.
Get the ones from anker.They are pretty good. I use the Anker Astro. They come with 18 month replacement warranty so you can be pretty relaxed.

It is a BEAST!!
I think N4 can survive on it for almost a week!!!
I've been using this one for a bit and love it. I play Ingress (too much) and it usually eats about 20% of my battery in an hour. While plugged into this I not only can keep playing, but it charges roughly 5%/hour on top of that. I've had it going for more than 6 hours straight at that rate and yet to see the external go under 50%. It is a complete beast. Standby I get about 50% charge in 20 minutes using the 2A port.

Obviously this one is a little over your $25 goal, but I'd recommend an Anker of some sort either way.
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.

Hey

you can buy the original battery (and almost every part of the nexus 4 ,5, 5x) at (official spare parts distributer providing worldwide delivery): http://www.spareslg.com/gb/bateria-....html?search_query=nexus+4+battery&results=16
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.

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

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.

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).
