Just wondering if anyone has found 3rd party batteries for the atrix yet?
I'm curious about this as well. I missed having options for battery when I switched to iPhone 3G, 3GS, 4 (like with Treo and BlackBerry). As a mobile addict, I miss extended batteries (even though larger). I hope to have these choices for Atrix and hope the switch to Android doesn't serious piss me off.
Yes...this is my first forum post. Try not to hate on me while I learn the ins/outs of the best tech-savvy mobile OS out there. I'm a quick learner

Welcome, it may take a bit, bit I think you will be glad you switched.
Also, I am sure third party batteries will show up after a few weekes particularly if the phone is popular.
I'm sure Seidio will have a bunch of accessories out shortly.
I truly wouldn't mind one of the extended battery Juice Pack cases like I had for my iPhone. They added some bulk, but they nearly doubled my battery life on my iPhone, and they are simple to take off plus you don't have to pull out your phone's battery to do it.
You need something bigger than a 1930mAh battery?

With 1930mAh battery installed + laptop dock for 8 more hours running ability, I don't think I need an extra battery more.
I used it very heavily at work. Maybe got like 6hrs out of the oem battery.
Which is the best I have had in all the smart phones Ive used
LOL the battery is large but the way I use my phones I don't know if it will last all day; I looked on eBay a few minutes ago and didn't really see anything.
I have the standard and went and bought two extra batteries for the phone for the days I was out and didbt have access to a charger.
Rooted/ROM Captivate
Rooted Atrix
jfyi the droid x BH6x battery is the same battery as ours so you can search for droid X bh6x battery. just make sure that its the slim model as in if its comes with a battery door the its too fat for our phone
Guys dont forget to give your phone a week to get propperly calibrated

Keep dreaming - mophie (manufacturer of the Juice Pack) steadfastly refuses to offer products for non i- whatevers. I've talked to them about it previously. Only way it'll happen is if Motorola or some other company makes one, and that hasn't happened.

your right i did not think of this. Most people overlook this fact,
I got spoiled by multiple gen-you-whine Motorola batteries for my StarTac. Between the main battery, the AAA tray to replace that, and the piggyback battery...who needed AC?
But I've also found an AWFUL LOT of battery suppliers are junk. Some mislabeled with bogus capacity, some that just don't hold a charge well, some that knock wood I never got, that catch fire.
I don't like gen-you-whine battery prices, especially for a new phone, but I'd be real careful about buying from other vendors right now. Or are there some other vendors you have found that can trust, by brand name?
Supposedly...with standard microUSB power plugs, we are supposed to just use a "powerpack" to recharge the phones on the fly. There's something to be said for doing it that way too, I guess.
My battery states 1880 mAH on the back of it...i thought it should be 1930 mAh
1880...1930...Could be a change in production with one manufacturer being slightly better or a slight change in the process. If you think of them both as "1905+-25mA" it really is just a small difference in battery life.
Maybe that's why some of the 1880's are being sold off cheap, they've been obsoleted?

where can i find them cheap ??
There are loads of batteries out there. Just search for BH6X or BH-6X. Some sellers say they are for Atrix, others for Droid X. I believe its the same battery as the extended droid (I hope!). I just bought one from a US based seller for $21 on EBAY.
FWIW I pulled mine out, it is 1880mA. And that's a phone that shipped last week.
Hi,
Was wondering if anyone has tried one of these.....
Its 2430 (or 2450mah) the ebay page cant really decide, im guessing its a typo.... Its the same size as the default battery. Thats a calculated 47% increase in battery capacity...
Link here:
http://www.ebay.com.au/itm/110750637282?ssPageName=STRK:MEWNX:IT&_trksid=p3984.m1497.l2649
Its the biggest battery capacity i can find without increasing the physical size of the battery and requiring a new case....
If not, i will post some of my own reviews once it comes through.

Ya i'll bet its a typo, more like 1450mah rather than 2450mah. No cheap aftermarket battery can even match the stock battery in capacity let alone offer 50% more capcity.
im not expecting a full 2400mah out of it, more like a 2100mah....
thing people need to realize, is the stock battery is made in the same places (sometimes) as these after market batteries. The quality might be slightly off, but not substancially..... they are all made in asian countries for less than $0.20 a piece in mass production....

You'll be lucky if it even matches the stock battery, you just can't magically cram more capacity into a battery. The samsung 2000mah battery is thicker and comes with a new cover, why isn't samsung using this battery if it has more capacity and is smaller than its own 2000mah battery? If its too good to be true(on ebay) it probably is.
probably the same reason why they dont release ICS 4.0 and other things straight away that other phones have that is better than what they currently have..... coz they are slightly retarded as a company lol
not a chance that has more power than the stock battery if its the same size. Those gold wrapped batteries from ebay always get really bad reviews. Youll probably find its 1300mah
Seen one review where it was a smaller battery in a plastic frame. Battery capacity was much lower than the stock battery. If it sounds too good to be true and it is cheap, then it probably is.

...are you serious? it's a proven fact that non-OEM/aftermarket batteries in general are usually worse than stock batteries. check out sites like http://batteryboss.org/ you can see testing of aftermarket brands like seidio and mugen...the actual capacity is between 55% to 85% of the advertised capacity, while OEM batteries are ~95%+.
as for what you said about samsung being a retarded company and not releasing the best hardware/software possible, you'd rather trust a random ebay seller with an UNBRANDED battery coming straight from china for $14 aus dollars, which is somehow still 47% higher in capacity, over a multinational corporation with trusted suppliers who are industry leaders in their own right? you really think samsung would willingly reduce their battery capacity in light of the huge implications it could have on the sales of their flagship phone?
as a final piece of evidence, here's a google translated website showing the testing of so called ebay '2430 mah' batteries. http://translate.google.com/transla...e/samsung-galaxy-s-ii-2-3500-mah-2430mah.html as he shows halfway down the page, the real capacity is somewhere between 1000-1250mah. terrible. you should research more before you blindly advocate for your misinformed purchases. all it does is drag other gullible members of this forum down with you.

Different material can make a big difference.
I know it's probably bull****, but i bought one of those battery and i was impressed by the time it last. I tought i would end with a smaller time than stock battery, but it lasted longer. I did not made super precise test, I don't have time for that. I must always be with latest rom / kernel so flashing a new rom or kernel a day don't let me much time to bench battery xD. My point is, that i think it last longer than original samsung battery and this, even if people are doing test that proof i'm false.
Guys you're all being very unfair.
This is obviously a Global Dynamics battery, I believe the model is 'Fringe'. It actually draws it's extra power from a trans dimensional link and was invented by Dr William 'Pointy' Bell.
I'd suggest everyone buy one.
The next version includes the facility to phone yourself after the final race of the day and tell yourself the result before it happened.

So this means the advertised battery should have a capacity between 1336.5 and 2065.5. So one could be lucky and really get a battery with more capacity than the stock one.
Sure, I agree with you that such cheap battery can't hold that much juice. However for a spare battery it is fine if you look at capacity/price.

Typo is an abbreviation of 'Typographic Error' and the phrase originates from when newspapers were printed using printing plates as against computers that are used today.
An example of a typo would be writing h3llo rather then hello or 1243 rather then 1234, it's usually a mistyped character instead of a spelling mistake.
Hope this clears it up for you.

True, but I also did mention that another site tested the capacity specifically for the ebay '2430mah' batteries, and came out with a total capacity of 1000-1250mah. Even if we take it as 1250mah, that's still a 25% decrease from the stock capacity of 1680mah, which is abysmal. You could argue that it's fine as a spare battery, but at that price and capacity you might as well just buy another stock OEM battery, and save yourself the frustration. However, I would definitely argue against using it as your primary battery, for obvious reasons.
Any GOOD suggestions to a STOCK size battery with BIG capacity, that WORKS? Or battery similar or better than Samsung's 2000mah battery?
I use mostly clear TPU cases. Thinking of cutting hole in battery cover for a bigger battery too.
I wish battery covers like those in the 2000mah extended battery kit could be bought in colors, cheap. And then get some nice battery.
Sadly all those mah ratings can't be trusted

No such thing, its either the stock samsung battery or the larger 2000mah samsung battery, everything else is going to have lower capacity no matter what the label says. Check out http://batteryboss.org/ and find an aftermarket battery that has similar capacity as an oem one... there simply isnt one.

That is why I am asking. But have you tried and/or had any experience with a similar battery of this brand/seller?
Ok. Just to be clear. I have found a lot of these threads in the past and I always say the same thing. If Samsung could have pushed in another 500 mah into the battery they would have done it themselves. It's silly for them to include a smaller battery capacity into larger than normal battery size. It's silly.
I would stay away from cheap batteries claiming much higher mah capacities in batteries.
Stick with seidio and mugen. They're really good battery makers. They may be more expensive but I think it'll make up for it with time. Most Chinese batteries begin to loose charge after a few discharges.
Sent from my Samsung Galaxy Note.
@zkyevolved
I understand what you are saying and agree with you partly.
I am following the xda-dev since the early day of windows mobile 6.
In the past there have been batterys (for example for the htc tytn II)
with the same dimensions and a higher capacity.
Even though I am sceptical, too (especially because of the price).
Generally nowadays companies like Samsung with there top end smartphones will go for the highest possible capacity.
While it's fully possible to get an increased capacity battery with the same dimensions, They will not last that way for long and will loose alot of there capacity with every charge.
Simply put, Unless it's bigger, It's not nearly as stable and reliable as an OEM battery because if it was possible that way, It would have been included in the device.
The battery in the galaxy note is simply amazing already, Obviously we geeks want longer last juice, But for now, Adding a bigger cover or getting a second battery is the only piratical way.
Power consumption is probably the most researched aspect of today's smartphones, It shouldn't be two many years before we see week long batteries in are devices that charge quicker and quicker.
At least we hope.

Exactly, thats why its ridiculous to think that some small chinese company would have the manufacturing process as advanced (or more) as samsung. I am sure that no 3rd party battery would reach the capacity of samsung battery of the same size. It really is simple logic. Its all scam. Most of these batteries will barely reach 2000 mah.
And the biggest scam is mugen with super expensive batteries which have 75 percent or less of the advertised capacity.
If you want a new battery, buy samsung battery.
I've also have bad experience with the cheap Chinese batteries - the most annoying thing is the non linear power drop (e.g it goes from 45% to 20% in a second)

You are trying to solve the every smartphone's problem of needing a daily charge in the completely wrong way.
Buy additional batteries (I have a total of 4 original ones) and separate desktop battery chargers (I have 2 original ones) and you will never again have "battery anxiety" nor will you have ever again to keep your smartphone chained down to a wallet charger since you will be charging each battery separately from the phone...
I have been doing this since MANY years on my last 6 smartphones and I am continually shocked to see how seemingly few people are taking advantage of this setup... Even "powerusers" on xda!
For me there is NO other way and I consider "smart"phones with integrated batteries as useless, worthless toys...

Are you also using desktop battery chargers? If the answer is yes I would really like to know why you want to mess around with non-original batteries...
All of the tests (or at least the professionally done ones..) that I have seen show that most of these batteries have sensibly lower real mAh than the nominal ones and/or degrade pretty more quickly. The few good ones are invariably the expensive ones which, when they grant appreciable higher mAh than the original ones, are also sensibly bigger and heavier and require different, "bulging" back covers to accomodate them which means that they can most probably not be docked anymore in the car mount or in the desktop dock (if you use one), are less comfortable to pocket, make the phone heavier and ruin the design too (not much important this last point but still), YUCK!

Well, Mugen makes quality batteries and it's a known brand. The chinese no-name batteries are not. We do not know how it's made, what materials has been used and so on. It's not worth the risk IMO.

I think most of the people don't like multiple batteries as that requires popping out the accessory cover/case AND the phone cover every single time to swap the battery. Of course, the batteries and their chargers need to be carried around too. All this is tedious and most don't like this inconvenience, so they prefer a battery with higher mAh instead of multiple batteries.

Turning the phone off, swapping batteries and turning the phone on takes all of 30 sec.
Now compare 30 seconds to keeping your phone "on a leash" every single day for 2-3 HOURS to a wall charger... and you call THAT "tedious"????
As for cases, I have NEVER used cases on any of my phones (hate them for all the reasons listed again below) so I won't comment on that other than noting that you talk about cases but with bigger batteries you can't use cases AT ALL so that's just another disadvantage of bigger than original batteries!

Just the batteries, of course (you take with you however many you may need), what would be the reason for carrying around the chargers??
You charge your battery/batteries once you get back home.
An extended battery will NEVER last as long as just 2 original batteries (besides making it fatter, heavier, uncomfortable, not dockable etc) and with multiple batteries you can cover completely whatever you need to do with your smartphone even for short multi-day complete trips. Imagine being out camping, with extended batteries you would have to bring with you heavy external batteries anyway to which you would ALSO have to keep your Note tethered to for hours to recharge...
Very long trips? Of course you take the battery charger (very slim and light BTW and doubles as a stand to boot) with you, exactly like you would have to take your normal charger with external batteries.
There is no real point AGAINST additional batteries and there are PLENTY FOR IT.
It's a no brainer for any poweruser (i.e. anyone who actually NEEDS and USES smartphones...).
I'm always testing out new types of chargers but i agree, official charger and then one or two spare batteries - no more battery anxiety

I couldn't find any site to give dimensions on it. Appearance-wise it looks right, but I guess we won't know until someone slaps it in and tests it.

The battery has part number LG BL-T7. This is the battery that is in the G2 i believe. Also it has already been confirmed the G2 battery is not the same dimensions so it will not fit our N5's.

Yep, didn't notice the BL-T7 before you pointed it out. That said the issue with the T7 was the stepped design that made it thicker. This one appears flat like the T9 that comes in the N5. So there is a possibility if the stepped design wasn't used that the battery could fit.
Personally I have no battery issues, the thing lasts all day for me and then some. However if I ever did have battery issues it would be nice to know there was something to upgrade to.
Seems like too much trouble for a phone that doesn't really have battery problems anyway.

Just because you and I and some others have no issues doesn't mean there's not legions of others who do. Like I said, I have no issues despite medium use, but I know many people that use their phones differently than I who need a beefier battery. Seeing as how it's not too terribly difficult to get to the battery, if there is a 3000mah one that works with our phones, why not let those people who need it use it?
You and I are most assuredly in the minority of people with no battery issues though, of that I'm certain.

But for those people who do need more battery, what's a 3000mah really going to do? Give you another couple hours? They'd be better served getting an external battery that would double their phone time and still only be the size of a tube of lipstick rather than tear their phones apart and void their warranties.

I don't disagree with you, but just playing with numbers, if the phone lasts 10 hours with the 2300, then it would be over 13 hours with a 3000, could be the difference between finding a charger mid day and not worrying about it. For some people the few hours is all the difference so why carry around a charger when you only need a few more?
Again though, I don't disagree with you, it's just that with the immense diversity in the way people use their phones, there isn't an easy solution to apply to all. For some the stock is good, for some a couple extra hours is what they need, and for others they'll need an external battery pack, just all depends on the user and their needs.

Better ask yourself why Google doesn't want you to change the battery.
For me a changeable battery is a must-have. I'm a heavy user, and this is my first Nexus device (since Samsung Galaxies und HTCs). Since it does not have a changeable battery I'm using now a anker power bank which charges the Nexus5 pretty fast. But this does it hurt my Nexus battery? What if my Nexus battery is crap? Looking at my old S3 und old HTC devices this happend to me.
Looks like the seller is under the impression that the nexus 5 32gb came with a 3000mah battery like some of the rumors suggested. My guess is that the seller isn't up to date with his information. I highly doubt this battery fits......but if someone wants to go for it be my guest and report back please :laugh::laugh::laugh::good::good:

This was my thoughts too.
As for the others saying 3000mah wouldn't be worth the swap should watch the iFixit teardown. It is stupid simple to do a 1 time swap. Also my battery generally last the whole day but i have had a few where i needed to plug it in to keep it form prematurely dying on me when i needed to use it. I am a guy that likes to have as little items as possible. I have 2 keys on my key ring, my car, and my house, no bling keychains. So carrying a external power bank is my last choice. While at work i just plug it in when needed, which has been never so far. But on weekends is where i find it falling short as i tend to use the phone more.

The problem is going to be, even if someone does make a battery that is compatible with the Nexus 5, its going to be some no name Chinese battery and it will never actually live up to the mah rating that its sold as. So even if they do sell a "3000 mah" battery for the Nexus 5, it would be amazing if the real rating of the battery was even 2500mah. Unless these no name battery companies have really upped their game in the last year or two, they almost never actually deliver the battery capacities that they list.
I personally wouldn't buy batteries from ebay. Too much risk for the amount of savings. Best case scenario is that it doesn't hold the stated charge, worse case is that it explodes on you like so many reports have indicated with people using no name third party accessories.
sorry the link

I've bought two different OEM batteries made in China for my netbook and both are poor quality despite the manufacturer's claims. Unfortunately I could not find any Japanese or Korean cells. I'm not going to gamble on putting an OEM battery inside my Nexus.
Lol. Larger capacity batteries, and in original size? There's no official manufacturer and can only be bought from ebay? Sounds like the various ones mentioned in the other flagship forums, like the S4. The story usually turns out the same. Someone baits desperate readers in, then when buyers get it, a bunch of them come back saying they don't see a difference despite advertised of being +25% larger, calling it a fraud. Buy only if you are susceptible to the placebo affect.
