Blackberry Battery replacing the original battery

For some time I have had battery problems with my VOX, in Venezuela did not get and buying it on the outside is almost impossible.
So I decided to adapt another of another brand, I tried several models and found that making an adjustment to the battery of "Blackberry" you can make it work.
The battery in question is the C-S2, is a 750 mAh battery which will reduce the operating time especially if you use the WiFi, Bluetooth or music player; but its size and internal electronics is compatible with the VOX. I have a HTC S711, Latin American version of the S710.

The adjustment of the battery is very simple, cut the reliefs found in the base and the battery will fit perfectly on the phone. If the battery is new, it is necessary charge it for at least 8 hours with the phone off.
If you want longer duration of operation of the phone, can replace the battery model for the C-M2 (900 mAh) or the C-X2 (1400 mAh).
I hope this will be helpful to anyone who like me search the original battery of this equip and not get it.

Thanks for the tip!

Please update the wiki with this useful information

Will the larger ones also fit the available space in battery compartment?

wow,...great information..thanks!

The battery C-M2 and C-X2 have the same size as the C-S2

Did you try out the others as well? They are all for different devices (and in the online shops they also look different, at least the color is...).

I bought an old Dopod C500, the seller told me the battery needs replacement, but finding the battery is not an easy task so I got some info here, luckily got a CX-2 while even the shopkeeper did not know he has one,
1. CX-2 is a mm thicker than the CS-2 and hence cover can not be closed, its a tight fit so battery does not drop but a solution is required maybe to use double sided tape or something.
2. The capacity is good but the phone is unable to charge the battery and an external charger is required, I even tried using a blackberry charger to over come this, but no luck. The external charger means you need to pull out the battery and leave the phone off for a couple of hours or have two batteries to use one and charge the other.

External Battery Case

I'm keeping my eye out for an external battery case. I purchased this phone because of my pure HATE of my LG G4. But, I will need a spare battery and this will be the best way to get it. If anyone sees one, will you post a link? :good:

Anyone see one of these cases yet?

I've been looking. I've asked ZeroLemon if they were making one but they didn't get back to me yet.

It's not the size that counts, it's how long it can last.

Have you thought about a small Quickcharge 2.0 external charger? There are some pretty small ones that you can keep around and get a quick charge when you need it and not have the extra bulk all the time.
I know not the most ideal situation, but may be the best alternative for now...

Thats what she said.........lol

My Anker QC2.0 charger acted funny on the 2015, 2015 is using something different. So much so that I gave it away when I sold my 2014. You want the official Motorola Turbo Charge adapter on the 2015. The new Marshmallow 6.0 update should help with battery life though.

I'd seriously consider buying an external battery case. I wouldn't use it all the time, but I know there's days where I'll go through very heavy use away from a charger. I don't like using battery packs when I can help it because they're awkward to hold while using the phone.

It would be nice if ZeroLemon makes one..

Just get a external battery with QC. 30 mins will get u 50%.

I need to invest in a quality external charger. I bought 2 12000 MAH from Amazon and my MXP killed them both. They were both rated for 2.1 amp charging but after 2 full cycles they both stop charging. Maybe I shouldn't have used a my Turbo charger to charge the external batteries... Either way, I've returned both and have been skeptical to buy any more.
I also notice that my SP3 will throw errors when I have my MXP plugged in. Basically states that my phone is pulling more power than the computer can supply.

Nexus 5 do recognize larger battery

Staff, recently bought a parallel battery for my Nexus 5 with a capacity of 3,200, I know it's hard to battery actually have this capability, but my Nexus brand 2,300 fixed and it is impossible that this battery is 100% identical to the original.
Does anyone happen to know how to change the Nexus / Android to even acknowledge this larger battery?
Grateful!

With G2 3000 mah genuine new battery...
Gaming ~2 hour (not so demanding game), 4G browsing 1.5 hour, SYNC ON, was using GPS for ~30 minutes, talking ~40 minutes. lasted ~33 hour, watching TV shows which i had downloaded to the phone.

It's a great performance.
But tell me, and change the battery made any further modification?
You must change the Android (I'm using Android 7.1 on my Nexus 5) or do some kind of mod or hack to be actually recognized the high capacity of the battery?

Just drain new battery so phone shuts down itself. then charge it for ~3 hours. then drain it then charge it ~3 hours and drain it, after that charge it until it will say 100% then disconect charger. That's it.

can you please explain again?
did you say that you've managed to purchase a 3200 mAH G2 battery that fits exactly as the original N5 battery?
if so, is it that the N5 is not recognizing the additional capacity?
is it possible for you post pics of the new battery and a link where you purchased it from?

In the total battery capacity indicator, is 2,300 or the actual capacity of 3,000?

I bought a parallel battery for Nexus 5 but with larger capacity.
I know he will never really have the 3,200, but I believe he has at least 2,900.
The problem is that the Nexus 5 does not seem to know how to use the full charge of this battery.

anything more than the standard 2300 will do wonders for me..
2900 is as good as 3000 as far as i'm concerned and much better than 2300..
please, please, please, provide some pics, name or link to purchase this battery..

1100 mAh battery

Hi, did anyone try 1100 mah battery for Huawei Watch 2? I found it on aliexpress, stock battery is 420mAh and it's not enough for a normal use. 1100 mAh should be better but i'm scared it can burn or damage the watch? Anyone has been more brave than me?

Well, nobody answered, but I can tell you it's 100% scam.
Physically it's impossible to build such small battery with such capacity.

It's interesting that this seller has sold 39. But they sell HW1 and HW2 1400mah and 1100mah respectively. Their batteries are a lot more expensive then the regular 420mah batteries. SO it does make me wonder if these are higher capacity batteries.
If there is room for a slightly thicker and bigger battery than the original then it is possible to archive a higher capacity. Though 1100mah seems pretty ridiculous I would be curious to know what the true capacity is.

I ordered it, will test

I ordered it too and it arrived yesterday.
I installed the battery but I broke one of the plastic luggs off the watch that allow the strap to clip in so all my testing so far is in "off wrist-mode" which disable's the AMOLED hafter a period off time. I am making this clear as my watch is showing me i am likely to get 3-4 days of usage. Previously it was 1-1.5 days. This all made me very excited. However I ran some debugging tests on ADB, specifically:
adb shell
dumpsys batterystats | grep "Capacity:"
Estimated power use (mAh):
Capacity: 410, Computed drain: 114, actual drain: 65.6-69.7

It's not reassuring to see the capacity listed as 410mah. I assume the watch reads the capacity from the battery itself as opposed to capacity being hardcoded in the rom/os. I suspect because it's a new battery that the health / capacity it much better than the older (4yr older) battery which is replaced. But also because the watch is "off-wrist" I am going to see better performance.
As for the second command above I am little unsure how to interpret it. i thought maybe these were reference to total and current mah
POWER_SUPPLY_CHARGE_FULL=408
POWER_SUPPLY_CHARGE_NOW=342

What are your findings? ad14051991
My lug broke off and I only fixed it yesterday so only testing battery life now.

My first test I left it off my wrist and it lasted 4 days. But I think when it's off wrist it goes into power saving mode because it doesn't need to detect heart-rate (if enabled) however I still felt 4 days was an improvement.
But then I left the watch battery flat for 2 months. Fixed the lugged and started wearing the watch again. The last 2 charges have lasted about 2 days. Which is similar to what I was getting with the stock battery.
I am unsure if leaving the battery flat for 2 months has done any damage or change to the capacity. But since it was a new healthy battery I imagine it hasn't. Perhaps I need to leave the watch off wrist again and see if I get 4 days still.
I guess results are still inconclusive at this time.

Please keep us posted with the testing.
Double the battery capacity would be the best improvement.
Thanks for sharing!

I side loaded accubattery which calculates the mAh drain vs percentage of battery added whilst charging. I have only run it down once but the results were better. 481 vs 410. Still way off 1100mAh but I'll see how it goes the next few drains.

OP, just be glad it's seems within the OEM capacity range...

i have also changed the battery with an standard capacity one, and got the same results. however lost the heart rate monitor :-( and couldn't identify why....

Any new coming phone with the best battery life?

Hello
Is there any new coming phone with the best battery life?
I am looking for the upgrade of Sony Xperia 10 IV which has the best battery life possible in a reputable/robust device.
Is there anything similar coming out or a 10 IV replacement?
Thanks!

How do you define the best battery life? Charge it every day and last the whole day? Or charge it once per week?

Good question, whatever longer I suppose? I don't think a week lasting Android smartphone exists unless it's some kind of Umbugu etc chinese brick or something (I am looking for a regular reputable phone)

Sony Xperia 10 IV charges slowly, but it's the battery life champion. I think you aren't getting that with any other android... Though you might want to check out the Galaxy A53 5G. I'm trying not to be biased(Samsung user here), but this one is a complete package for the price. Charging speed is faster than Xperia(which impacts battery life); though don't expect a two-day battery life, but a day and a half is manageable.

Thanks but on GSMarena it shows as 113h endurance when the 10 IV is at 163h which is a huge difference?
I had the Motorola Moto G7 Power which is mentioned at 147h and it wouldn't last a day.
Also I have the Poco F3 which is at 114h and again cannot last more than a day.

That's why I said it's hard to match the 10 IV battery... though A53 is pretty solid mid-range considering the price and all. Now it depends what you use your phone for... I've been testing it in full throttle for 8 straight hours with mobile data on and the battery percentage goes with 44%. That's easily a day and a half with mid-usage.

Mmm thanks, I think I would shift my strategy and seek the slimmest/smallest fast charging power bank and the fastest wireless charging phone. Some wireless power banks are magnetic so if I can stick both and go on for a week, it would be great! Is there anything like that?

That's one way to go, but consider that most magnetic wireless power banks are not powerful enough, not to mention that wireless charging is slower(in most cases) than wired. If you want to go that way, a better alternative is to have a power bank case if you find one that fits your phone. Ex:

But if you want your battery to last for a week, then you should definitely consider a wired power bank (20000mAh should be fine). It's faster and doesn't produce so much heat. I'm using Anker PowerCore 20,100mAh, it's semi-light, and charges my Galaxy s9+ up to 4-5 times.
