[Q] (Q)HTC Desire S 2000mAh Battery?

Hi everyone. I'm a bit of a noob but anyway I wanted to buy the following battery from eBay: http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/230803704348?ssPageName=STRK:MEWAX:IT&_trksid=p3984.m1438.l2649
I was wondering if anyone has a similar battery and if they noticed any improvements over the stock 1450mAh battery
Thanks

To be honest they could write 2500mAh and atill it can be worse than the stock one. For me it looks like a risky business.

Hmmm...
I think you could be right but I've ordered it now. £5 isn't a lot of money but the seller accepts returns luckily.

Yeah sure no problem

Right. I've got a problem. The extended battery won't charge and I get a warning message saying the battery is using more power than the charger can provide, I've tried with 4 different chargers and it won't charge but the stock battery is fine. If it's on it just stops charging and when it's off, I just get an orange flashing light. Any ideas on how to fix this?

Hi, I found your post simply because I ran across the exact same battery and just as you was thinking of buying it.
I was wondering if you had any luck resolving your issues with charging the battery? And if not, did you also remove the yellow tape near the electrode, as they write in the ebay add? Because to me that sounds like the kind of thing that might screw up the charging otherwise...
Cheers.

I returned the battery to the seller who was happy to refund me and then he told me the battery was faulty. I tried all of the techniques you all suggested. I am now using an Anker 1600mAh battery which works well

I can't remember how much I paid but it's excellent. Check the Accessories section, I made a thread there

I bought a "Polarcell" battery on ebay and have a real good experience with it. It says 1600mAh. With Jelly Bean (MIUIzero) and the new battery my phone now always runs for a whole day sometimes 1.5 days. This really surprised me because on some early JB roms and with the old battery the phone was always dead in the evening.

New battery

Hello. I'm looking ebay for new battery, because mine is almost dead (works only for ~15mins). i have found this one:

You shouldn't buy it. I had similar some time ago and it quite quickly became as useless as the original.

Do you have any suggestions which battery would last like the original?

it was about 30€ but seems to be a bit more expensive now. i think i had kind of a promotion code. it might be worth to google for something like that!
i bought the batterie via official mugen power site.

Mugen power
I'm using Mugen power battery for desire s for over a year and it still works great.
it's a special battery that doesn't have the memory effect, the effect that makes your battery useless after some time. So you can charge it whenever you want. It also has 20 percent more power capacity

I bought two 'fepiusi' 1900mAh Li-Ion batteries recently with a charger from eBay. I`ll try them in duty. Maybe it was a profitable deal for me..

Mugen power battery great

was looking for a new battery for a while. thanks for the info

2450MAH High Capacity Battery?

While looking for new battery for my sensation, found this battery.
http://www.ebay.com/itm/2450MAH-Hig..._Cell_Phone_PDA_Batteries&hash=item3a769ad5b7
It a 2450MAH High Capacity Japanese Battery and it only $6! I was wondering if anyone have tried this and should I buy this? I was gonna buy an anker but after looking at some battery on ebay found this. There are also 2 of these plus a charger for only $10! Way cheaper than the anker...

It has been proven many times that the 2450mah claim for this battery is extremely exaggerated.
If a battery manufacturer will lie (quite a large lie) about the specs, then I would also highly doubt the quality & longevity of it.
Also, I really doubt they are made in Japan.
So NO, go and buy an Anker in other words, they are by far the best.

Ok thanks. One more thing, does the charger that is included with the anker have usb? Just one anker battery cost $17 and 2 anker plus a charger cost $30. I'm only gonna need one battery but looking at my charger which is a bit ripped I want another charger just to be safe. So was wondering if the anker charger included in the pack of 2 battery has usb plug like the stock charger.

Well the charger I got from Anker has a micro-usb connection input (female), but there is nothing else supplied. So you need another HTC charger (or similar) to power it up.

Anker or Mugen power.
I personaly bought the Mugen power (1950 Mah ) and I'm very happy with it's performance.
It's true that it's more expensive that the Anker batery but it had some better argumented reviews at the time I was searching plus the thermometer (I like to know if and whae the battery gets warmer).

As you can see to this link he sells thousands batteries. I bought too "gold" batteries for friends. They didn't said me something bad. For me i afraid to take something like that. Maybe go to Anker battery at future

ok after all this time using gold battery from ebay I can confirm it works fine. I'm still putting my phone on charge every evening but I'm just used to doing that. phone can last three day on moderate usage no gaming just phone calls, texting, some browsing and so on. much better than original battery. from my experience with two different HTC phones with the same kind of cheap gold battery I can confirm it works fine and is high quality.

Saying that it is high quality seems a little like exaggeration.
But I guess it works somewhat OK.
I don't think it is gonna last long though.

i used my HTC DHD for over a year with gold battery, then gave it to my brother and he is now using this phone around a year long with same battery what he says that the phone lasts at least two days for him. and two days is still longer than I was getting with my HTC DHD with brand new original battery. so think what you want but honestly see no point in buying quite expensive anker battery or what ever else you guys are using.

Battery keeps dying at 15%?

Hey guys my phone after upgrading to 5.0.1 and 5.1.1 keep dying at 15%
Do I need a new battery? Is there a way for me to fix my battery stats so I can get more accurate readings that are closer to actual life left on the battery?
What would you guys recommend for a replacement battery?/brand

I had that issue and had to replace my battery. I was able to get a Samsung one on amazon but that was about 6 months ago. The new battery works fine. I tried using the old battery and it still does the same thing, dies between 15-20%.

Same here,
OP get a new one for $10 off amazon and call it good :good:
I just looked and the power bear one I bought from amazon is no longer prime eligible and is $19. I'm guessing any one you buy is going to be better than the original.

yeah but i got it for $10 with free prime shipping and I would guess you could get a different one of similar quality for $10. I've had it for about a month I was going through the same thing as you but it was getting worse it would shutdown and drop to 0% randomly when it said 35% . This new battery doesn't do that at all seems to last through the day quite well fast charging works fine... If it is important to you this battery does not have the NFC chip for google wallet and other stuff.

Which vendor did you buy it from, can you check. I wouldn't think its directly from Amazon.
Does your battery have to have an NFC chip in order to do NFC stuff? I always wanted to try Anroid/Google pay

Was sold by PowerBear LLC and fulfilled by Amazon and yes I believe the battery needs the nfc chip on this phone but I don't use it so I'm not 100% sure

MI4C Battery Replacement: Where to buy?

Hello there I think my battery is damaged, becouse my phone switches off with 5-15% left (so i do calibrate, but doesnt help) and when I charge it, the charging starts from 14% instead of with 0.
So I decided to replace my battery. I know that I have to the BM-35 But where can i buy and get really a original?
I found this some on ebay and aliexpress, but i am not allowed to post here....
For exeample i found one on aliexpress with a cooling copper, is that usefull?
Thanks in advance for your Help.

Only on dragon-tt I've found original parts of xiaomi phones...
Sent from my Mi-4c using Tapatalk

Hello, I have exactly same problem! Same percentage, turns off at ~13-15%, then if I plug to charge it shows 14% everytime! I would also know if it's battery or something more related. I'm using mi4c for ~7 months now. Glad i'm not alone with this problem.

Which Rom?
Which Rom you use and do have only use your quickcharger (the original)?
Edit: I ask about the charger, because i read in anohter forum, that the quickcharge isnt good for the battery lifetime. I have the phone for more than a year and use the quickcharger only for every third or fourh charging. Do you use everytime?

Yes, used original quick charger, and USB. Using Ressurection Remix 5.8.0 (7.1 Nougat), but was getting problem with MIUI too, but shut down at 7%, and start charging at 21%, i think it may be software problem.

I'm not sure whether it is a software problem. I have for last month the rom from team superluminal ( cm-12.1-20160617 ) and have never battery problems - only since the last 2 weeks. So i updated to the rom cm-13.1-20161231 (also superluminal) and the first round with a full battery works fine, no switch off at a low battery level. I work on the phone until it has only 3 percent and then i charged it. Maybe you try this rom? Nevertheless i think isn't a software problem. Because I read this at the forum from superluminal (sry i am not allowed to link here) - posted by morphic:
IMO using quick charger w/ mi4c it will destroy your battery even more, because it seems to get too hot while charging. High temperatures are known to cause damage for battery internal chemistry..
I have also noticed that using normal “slow” charger will make mi4c battery percentage to behave more sane.

Used this rom. I think the same, I'm going to buy battery and try to keep it cool while charging. If you know some cheap websites for Europe, thank you!

I have orded from aliexpress, you can find some between 10 -15 Euro. Or ebay, there is a trader from spain and want about 20 Euro.

100 percent sure you could never I remember a case about fake samsung battery - selled from amazon.

Tried to get a replacement battery from the biggest seller of them on aliexpress. Got stopped twice at custom x-ray with post nl . Was getting it shipped to Ireland. Seller is refunding me and told me it was getting very hard to ship batteries at the moment.

Not like Xiaomi uses top bin batteries in the first place. They wouldn't bother faking the bottom bin batteries Xiaomi uses.

there are no original ones as spare parts to buy. just replacements
I've bought one off aliexpress from a seller with biggest positive feedback for BM35 batteries as my original was switching off at about 30%, used for about three months, but it's not very good now - it doesn't hold charge very well and I have had random shutdowns at about 20%, too.
Last weekend I've got annoyed and put my old original BM35 back and the phone holding significantly longer with similar patterns of usage. Unfortunately still getting shutdowns at ~15-20%. Also there are rumours claiming that avoiding QC chargers "cures" the battery in mi4c. So, if you're getting shutdowns at 5-15%, don't even bother spending 10$ for a non-original one, try slow charging first.

could you tell us what kind of charger do you use? what power, ie. how many amperes?

I use two different Samsung Charger with: 1) 5Volt / 1A 2) 5Volt / 2A

I have the same problem where my device shut down early before 0%, and it happen to all custom rom i used, but i think the problem has gone now, i did clear all the chace and dalvik/ART, reboot the phone, charge untill 100% and calibrate with battery calibration.
I'm on RR 5.8.0 latest build.

Just got the battery the poster is talking about, with a copper patch. its from a batch marked with the year 2014. The S/N is covered with the copper patch.
the battery cover plastic seems a bit scratched, like its a used battery.
I will replace the battery in the next couple of days and let you know.
For the mean time I got it for 11.5$, now its 14.5$
