Best replacement battery?

Anybody have any links to the best quality replacement battery for the photon Q? I believe its the same as the droid 4. Currently looking at one on amazon made by "onite" as the "OEM" motorola ones that are listed online seem to get terrible reviews (could be fakes Im guessing?):

Golden oldie. Any new battery will be better than the old one ?

The problem with the OEM motorola batteries on ebay is that they're often old. I bought one for my Droid 4 in late 2014 and the battery was manufactured in late 2012, it was a "fresh" battery but almost as old as the one that came in the device, and only a marginal improvement. It might be better to have a newer chinese battery than an old motorola that's sat on a shelf for 3 years.

Hello, does anyone tryed some of this one? Lenmar Replacement Battery for Motorola EB41 (Model Number CLZ623M, Capacity (mAh) 1925). They promice a little bit better capacity, but I can't find any reviews on it. Thanks.

AliExpress Batteries

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.

i replaced it two days ago and its great performance

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.

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.

TQTHL Samsung Galaxy S5 Battery | 3200mAh

Does anyone have this battery or have had a battery from this company? I am looking for a little bit more power then stock but don't want to add bulk to my phone any info would be great thanks!
I found it on Amazon here is the link.
https://www.amazon.com/TQTHL-Samsung-Replacement-T-Mobile-Warranty/dp/B06XDPDCZV/

You can't add capacity without adding size. So 3200mah is really 2800mah like all other stock size batteries.
I'd recommend Anker or RAVPower

This is not exactly true. Capacity has been increasing every year since lithium was introduced. The real problem is that most manufacturers didn't spend as much on battery development like Samsung did. So to get more capacity in the same sized battery would be quite a feat although not impossible.

I think it's safe to say that any 3rd party sellers of S4 batteries are not sinking R&D into new battery chemistry and design. But you will see lots of false specs

i'v had a 6200mAh TQTHL on my S4(which my son inherited , and now i have two 3200mAh of the same brand on my S5 and the wife's phone..
i think this is a good battery. i bought my S5 used, so i can't say how much it fares against the original samsung battery, but i can tell you that i'v had over 4 hours screen-on-time and this is with 3G/wifi always on, maybe 30 minutes of calls, mostly web-browsing (opera browser), and some simple game a few times during the day.
what i like about this brand is that the batteries didn't fail after months of use, like some other cheap brands. the 6200mAh on his S4 is over a year old, and it still performs admirably.
if the price is right for you then i suggest you go ahead and buy one, i'm sure you won't regret it(unless you're unlucky and get a lemon, which wasn't my case). if its not better than the original then its definitely not any worse, since its half the price

You can get that battery and others on Ebay, or Amazon.

Replacement battery in the UK - brand vs price...Polarcell/Anker/Ravpower.

I bought 3 Anker batteries last year and have been rotating them but I'm looking for one more unit as I'm going to Nepal and having an extra fully charged battery is really handy. The Anker batteries seem to have settled at £13.99 on Amazon, the POlarcells are £19.99 but the Ravpower ones are only £10.99 and have good reviews. I'm not a fan of the "genuine Samsung" roulette and would be happy to pick one of these 3, but so far the Ravpower one looks the most likely.

I've had no issues with the official Samsung batteries for the Note 4. Thought I did, turns out it was a issue with the Marshmallow OS update that stops you from fully charging a new battery on it. I can still charge the battery that originally came with my device though.

as I know there is no new original batteries for samsung note4 for sale at this moment. you should search for analogues. I know that Craftman batteries are good as original.

Well, after buying a Ravpower battery and going on my trip I'm very disappointed to say that they've all failed - one of the Anker units swelled as has the Ravpower one and the remaining 2 Anker ones randomly shut the phone down, and not just when they're running low either - it's happened when the battery is at 90% at times!
Anker have zero stock so issued refunds and I'm waiting to hear back from Ravpower but a quick look at their amazon.co.uk listing shows that they're out of stock here in the UK.
I'm in need of at least one fully functioning battery to test the phone (I've installed a different ROM to be sure it wasn't a software issue or rogue app). The only non generic one I can find is this - has anyone had any experience with them?
What about any other options - with such an active note 4 community, surely we're all in need of new batteries at some point - what do you use? (I don't want to spend £35-40 for a new Sammy unit on a phone that cost me £150!)

I'm hesitant to recommend this due to the aforementioned 'roulette', but I notice MyMemory have some 'new and improved one from the original manufacturer'. (can't post a link as a new poster)
I've ordered Samsung SD cards from MyMemory before and they've been fine, so they obviously have some distributor link to Samsung - not just random suppliers from Amazon. They also sell a small variety of Samsung accessories - ie they aren't a general mobile tat vendor.
However the bit that worries me is the 'new and improved' and 'The Note 4 battery has increased autonomy performance and fits perfectly in your smartphone.' - I haven't studied this, but I'm surprised that OEM batteries would change design after the phone's release.
They also have a 2-power battery - I've heard positive things about 2-power, but no experience myself.

I've also bought decent stuff from Mymemory as well but firstly they're too cheap and secondly the QR code is missing the unique serial number that genuine batteries should have (and are on the ones that Samsung UK were selling a couple of months ago). The S/N printed on the battery is actually a batch number.
I've had a couple of Ankers fail and was refunded without hassle by Anker. I have 3 RAVPower and one has been in use since last September and has been 'fast charged' almost daily with, so far, no problems.
Last year I would have bought one or two, tested them for capacity and then challenged the supplier when they fell short but I'm pretty much fed up with testing them now plus I have a decent stock for my Note 4s,
