Battery life improvement after diy replacement - Xiaomi Mi 5s Questions & Answers

I have had this phone for around 17 months now. Accubattery was showing my battery health at 70% and I could barely make it through the day without multiple battery topups through the day.
I finally bought a replacement OEM battery off AliExpress. After having used it for 2 weeks,I can say the results are so much better.
I am running the weekly Lineage OS 15 rom.

What is the real capacity of that battery, did you measure it with AccuBattery? And give us link of the store

Accubattery battery capacity hovers between 97 - 100% of the original values
Bought the battery from here :

The tools provided to open the phone were a bit flimsy and took a bit of effort. I followed a YouTube video to see how to replace the battery

The real battery replacement and url avaliable

OK guys its time to know the truth when it comes to battery replacements, whether its a true genuine OEM LG battery or a FAKE genuine OEM lg battery.
recently i have purchased at least 2 replacement batteries for my 1 and half year old battery which holds still good charge but not as good in the days.
Although i live in Australia, this discussion still applies to all other countries around the world.
so i purchased my first battery, cost aud $18, apparently it was 100% genuine oem battery, bought it, however when it arrived the packaging seemed like a replica of the original with different font. so ull see the difference between the batteries below. as u can tell the metal connector, is different and is made out of a lower quality metal on the fake battery, the original battery has RU symbol and all of the BL-T9 ARE MADE BY SONY, YES I REPEAT SONY, THIS FAKE BATTERY HAS NOTHING BUT SCRATCHES ON ITS BACK,....fine i didn't mind, so i tested by charging, which was fine, took it of the charger and it discharged on its first charge from 100% to 80% in under 5 min, (and please don't say ITS MY USAGE, MATE 5 YEARS OF ANDROID EXPERIENCE AND BATTERY LIFE SETTINGS, ETC, MY ORIGINAL BATTERY WILL DISCHARGE FROM 100% TO 80% WITH MODERATE USAGE IN 1H, SO EVERY TIME IM ON 80% I ALWAYS GET 1H SOT, (NO-----LOLLIPOP---FOREVER---ON---NEXUS5---)
RUNNING CM11 M11, PA PICO GAPPS 4.4.4, SUPERSU 2.46, SYNC ON, LOCATION OFF, HALF BRIGHTNESS, SET LOCATION OFF ON EACH PRIVACY/PERMISSION APP SETTINGS, ON MY CURRENT ORIGINAL BATTERY ALWAYS GET 5 H SOT, NO DOUBT, HOWEVER WHEN I HAD THIS PHONE NEW, ALWAYS GET 6H SOT, VERY HAPPY WITH MY CURRENT SETUP, LOLLIPOP ON ALL ROMS, IF UR LUCKY ON MODERATE USAGE, MAX 3H SOT, SO BAD,,,,,
ANYWAY BACK TO DISCUSSION, so look at the differences below in the picture section, ive got urls to purchase the genuine original 100000% true battery with ru symbol and Sony symbol.
recently i purchased and looked very hard for batteries with this type of features and things which are seen on the original battery. found it, received it, same looks and features, original true genuine 10000% battery, very happy, u guys want links, i just need to test it and let u guys know.

Secondly, u have too cycle the battery, don't expect excellent battery on first charge, at least 6 full discharge cycles are needed to gain, refer to me, I'm an electronic engineer.

This I my biggest complaint about the nexus, and about non-removable batteries. I don't care to have to take my phone apart to replace the battery, BUT if its "non-removable", I means the manufacture of the phone doesn't sell the battery directly to the public and finding a real one is a pain in the rear. I have bought and sent back 2 batteries because they were physically SMALLER, weighed less(on a gram scale) and lasted between 2 and 4 hours full to empty in standby mode. I bought one off amazon, the highest rated on I could find. The second a bought from ebay from the seller with the best rating I could find a at the time. I just ordered one from etrade supply and it will be here today, I will post my findings.
So, I don't care at all if a battery is "non-removable", I just wish LG/google or whoever would make the battery available to the public, so we could have a trusted source.
My fiancé needed a new battery for her galaxy s4, we just went onto Samsung's website and ordered one, directly from the manufacture and it is an EXCELLENT battery, just like having a brand new phone. That is a real reason to like a removable battery.
The battery I received from etrade supply was 100% a fake. Its physically smaller (about 1mm narrower), about 2 grams lighter, and all the print on the label is very fuzzy. I ask for a refund, we will see how it goes. I just wish there was a simple solution to finding a genuine battery!
This is the link I used to order it.
http://www.etradesupply.com/lg-nexus-5-battery.html
I laid my worn out OEM battery and the etrade supply battery and their side and staggered them so you can see the date codes. The 2013 battery is the OEM nexus 5 battery out of my nexus. The 2015 battery is the etrade supply battery. Both are flat on their sides against the table and you can see the etrade battery isn't as wide.

High capacity battery of 3600mah

Redmi 1s high capacity battery of 3600
i am only sharing link. i am nit responsible if anything goes wrong
konpson brand maximum charging voltage 4.35v
http://www.aliexpress.com/item/100-...Ah-Batterie-Batterij-Bateria/32360795916.html
HSA brand maximum charging voltage 4.2v
http://m.aliexpress.com/item/32365009087.html?tracelog=storedetail2mobilesitedetail
for calculating battery capacity
Look for Wh and V printed on the battery.
mAh = Wh × 1000 / V
Example:Samsung Galaxy S3: 3.8 V 7.98 Wh7.98Wh × 1000 / 3.8V = 2100mAh
Looks too good to be true.However,it might be real,considering that the charging time is 5 hours.I believe this is a protection measure to not overheat the battery,after all it's not an original one.However,I don't understand how are they going to limit the current which enters the battery as that's dictated by the micro controller in the phone.In my opinion,after couple of months of usage,it will broke.
However,if you decide to buy it try to use it only when you don't need the phone too much,so the phone doesn't heat up a lot.I believe heating it up too much might cause the battery to swell and worst case scenario,it will blow up.

Got the HSA 3600mah battery today from aliexpress. Have attached some screenshots.
Inserted the battery into phone. It fit perfectly and charging it now.
Please suggest some android app that displays the correct battery information. So that we can validate what i received from HSA.
Will also update the charging hours it took and how long one full charge lasted for me with HSA battery in the coming days.

How much did you pay it finally ?
As i checked in the Aliexpress they are charging too much for delivery , so did you choose any particular vendor ?
And finally keep posted abt the performance of the battery
it was free shipping only... as previously mentioned paid only 595.
I am not able to find any app that displays the correct mah of the battery.
Its getting charged in 5hrs using redmi charger...
Got an usage time of more than 24hrs.. which i was already getting in my stock xiaomi battery... with dual sim, data and Wi-Fi usage.
So i guess the battery is similar to the stock one given by Xiaomi.
Should try konpson next as suggested by deepak kumar android.
Try better battery state app
Sent from my Karbonn A12* using XDA Free mobile app
You can use "AIDA" to see battery information, also "Ampere" is good enough to show battery information like ~Input Current, Output Current etc.
Used AIDA app as suggested.
Attached Screenshot of data showed by AIDA app with HSA battery.
Thanks for the support

If it's exactly same size and type how on Earth it can have more capacity? Use simple logic guys. It's scam.

Yet another topic about battery replacement...

Yup..that's it.
About 2/3 weeks ago i received a new battery to replace the old one on my nexus 5, that was only giving me about 2h of SOT. The battery is a standard 2300mA, brought on ebay. Right after the installation, the doubts started: the new battery does not have the wireless charging option. That was not said anywhere on the description, so the seller got a neutral feedback. Now, after some time, i come to the conclusion that the battery is as good as the old one: it only lasts for about 2h of SOT. So probably it's a fake battery...
So today i found ou this one: https://www.batteryupgrade.com/shop...rtmentProductId/61381272/shopGroupId/86483823
it says it is 2500mAh. Well, for the price it should be. Anyone care to comment if it is worth try it and spend the money on it or should i consider an original one from lgspares?
Regards.
First things first. Wireless charging is totally irrelavant with what battery you have inside. The coil is attached to the back plate, not the battery. If it is not charging wirelessly check your installation.
Secondly, ebay+batteries = fake. Also, anything more than 2300mAh = fake. These are the two steps you have to do to check if a battery is genuine:
a) Check the battery temp. If it always says 29c, then it is fake.
b) If it DOESN'T have LG printed on the back (or has sth else like Samsung TSDI), then it is fake.
Spareslg used to carry original batteries and I bought one myself about 1,5 years ago. I don't know if this is still the case now, although I don't see why they would change now. So your best bet would be them.
Hi.
Thanks for your input. However the wireless charging is on the battery itself. I did chech this by placing the older battery on top of my wireless charger and saw the ligthing charging indicador turn on.
What's on the back cover is the coil for the NFC.
As for the current battery, when i did found out that about the 29C it really is happening (with slight variations), even thought the battery says LG.
I've sent an e-mail to the website selling this new one. Let's see what they answer.
Enviado do meu Nexus 5 através de Tapatalk
No it is not. The coil is on the back cover. You probably didn't snap the center clip in place (the one above the S), so there is no contact with the leads.
I didn't quite catch what you mean with the battery.
He means the battery temperature is 29 (fake) even if the LG words are written in it.
Topic looks a bit rezzed but...
I got this battery http://www.ebay.com/itm/2500mah-3-8...991327?hash=item4afad7431f:g:LIMAAOSwZ8ZW3lAJ
On my second charge I got 4h55m SOT, but the average from charge #1 and #3 is about 4h10m.
Using NitrogenOS + Nitrogen Kernel (interactive, power saving, -5000uv)
I bought this battery www.amazon.com/gp/aw/d/B00NCJMQXK/ref=yo_ii_img?ie=UTF8. It is OEM brand new. Easily gives me a full day on one charge with light usage. I can get around 4 hours of non stop gaming. It seams better than the original battery that cane with my phone. All for $9 usd shipped! Shipping was pretty fast too.
http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/272379416470 OEM N5 battery with manufacture date = december 2015, latest I can find
I'm going to be doing the mod for the 3k mAh battery,
http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/401179982190 - June 2016, latest I can find.
Still waiting for the 3k mAh battery for the LG G2 to arrive, then I'll do the mod and update with results.

I did the mod with a spare G2 battery I got from a relative, but I don't think it really charged beyond 2300mah. The charging times were roughly the same as well as the SOT.
So in my opinion it is just a placebo.

Did you calibrate the battery? That would need to be done for the phone to create a new file for the battery to detect the increase in size.
Well i replaced my Nexus 5s bad 2300 mah battery with LG G2s Genuine new 3000 mah battery.
Only made 1 charge/discharge cycle. I played for 1 h 10 m not demanding game, Used chrome for 1 h 37 m, Used 4G Network for 30 m, Talked 20 m (playd 4-5 games for 4-5 minutes, some youtube, settings and this kind of staff)and it gave me 5 h SOT! And this with Custom rom Android 7 nitrogen (which is buggy!!!!) After 2-3 cycles of my new batter, stable ROM without issues and Voltage and frequency tweaks i think it will give me 6 h 30 m SOT. Which is fantastic for Nexus 5!

I really thinking about mod G2 battery into my Nexus 5.
I tried to order Genuine battery from the links that other people recommended.
Not surprisingly, one Amazon seller send me fake one.
Another one send looks like genuine but battery is manufactured in 2013 which is older than my original battery and, there are bunch of unknown black chemicals outside of the battery that I ordered.
Very tired to buy a genuine battery for Nexus 5. Seems like more easy to mod to install G2.

The one that I ordered is from 2013 but is a brand new unused battery. It is definetelt OEM as I have taken it apart. Before doing so I checked the temperature of the battery as wekk and it checks out there as well. I know they stopped manufacturing these batteries but not sure when. I personally would not be worried about the date of the battery but more so making sure it is OEM.
Well, back in September I bought a 'genuine LG' BL-T9 with tools from a Chinese seller on ebay for $9.
I literally went over it with a magnifying glass and it appears genuine. All the markings are correct, the temp varies, and the build quality is the same as the original.
In fact, the only way I could tell the 2 apart was the sticky residue on the back of the original and the mfg date (11/26/2013 & 07/08/2016).
I took a chance on getting a fake, and if I did it turned out to be a good fake, as SOT went from under 2hrs to slightly over 4 and standby time is almost 5 days compared to the 2.5 or so from the original.
I gambled the $9 and unless my Nexus does a Note 7, I did good.

Manufacturing date is important with Li-polymer batteries.
A 3-year-old unused battery will not last as long as a 3-month-old unused battery.
The 'new' 2013 battery may last longer than the used one in the phone, but it won't last as long as a 2015 battery would.
I'd sooner buy a decent generic 2015-2016 battery than a genuine LG battery made in 2013.

I have not had a single problem with mine. I play a lot of games on my phone and I have no problem getting between 4 to 6 hours of SOT with the battery that I purchased from Amazon. After reading posts online my SOT is what other people are getting with their genuine batteries as well. So I don't see it degrading that much. Of it did it was a very tiny amount which I am fine with for what it cost. I believe it was like $8 shipped. I posted a link to it earlier in this thread or the other battery thread not sure which. I have also been using the battery for around 2 months now maybe s little longer with no degrade in SOT.
I’ve bought a new battery from AliExpress. Date on the battery is June 2016 (I assume it’s manufacturing date).
Before I replace the battery, I want to test the current/original battery. Any suggestion which App I can use?
It would be great if there an app that keeps screen on from 100% charge and records how long screen was on before battery died. Once I have the result, I can run the same app after (/if I manage to) change the battery.
Any suggestion/advice will be highly appreciated.
Thanks guys,

Ampere is the app I use for measuring current & load.
IIRC, it doesn't keep a logfile, but it does help when it comes to determining output & charging current.
As for your other question, I really don't know which app to use, but if you do a search of the entirety of XDA, someone's probably coded one.
Though I personally wouldn't use such an app because the N5 gets pretty warm under heavy use anyway, and I'd rather not have it burst into flame unattended.
Also, the battery I posted earlier about here is still going strong.
It was either a genuine LG battery or a really good counterfeit.
Hi:
I ended up by buying an original battery from spares LG. So far, i'm very happy with the performance: i'm getting between 2h30m and 3h00 SOT, with 4G, wi-fi and Bluetooth allays on.

Got a battery replacement to extend my phone's life but I see almost no difference.

I have a OnePlus 3 which I bought in June 2016. Fair to say the battery was starting to deteriorate. I had always planned on keeping this phone for at least 4 years. So to extend its battery life, I went ahead and got the battery replaced at the authorized OnePlus Service Center (for $25).
I see almost no difference though. Also, the battery capacity comes up less than 3000 mAh in the advanced battery options in my phone's ROM (2688 mAh). My older battery showed up as 2250 mAh.
I checked up on battery calibration but seems like it is not required at all.
Is it possible the OEM's provide poor replacement batteries so people aren't able to extend their phone's life which is otherwise in great condition? Or is the advances battery info erroneous?
They gave me a one month warranty. Would anyone recommend that I go back to them and ask for a replacement?
If it helps, I am on the latest HavocOS build and have root enabled.
I sent my phone directly to OnePlus 1 month ago, but I did not notice any improvements, I'm not sure they actually changed the battery even if they say so... Also cause I had a dbrand skin on and they haven't removed it.

Have you calibrated the battery? It is advised to with a new battery. Normally 2x Discharge to 10% then full charge

They actually gave back my original battery. And the number of charge cycles can be found using a bunch of apps. Not sure if that can be reset. So you can try using one of those to see if your battery really is new.

May be the 'new' battery was manufactured in 2016. Remember that the production of OP3 was stopped after the launch of the 3T. So this battery might have been sitting on the shelf all this time.

This is my battery info
View attachment 4672131
Havoc Rom info is not correct, i am on OP3T and battery capacity is 3400mah.
to confirm your capacity Check your battery in AIDA64 from play store.

Wow thanks for that info. Btw I switched back to OxygenOS (One3OS) and the battery life has drastically improved for me.

Battery Experiment

So bought LOSONCOER battery 4600 mah promised, dug a little bit with a small flat head under sim slot and was able to put a box cutter blade in, went around very slowly once then second time back case came off no problem, no cracks. The official battery were all using is rated 3880 mah and under neath is typically. The replacement battery is same size except the chip is a bit thinner so battery seems smaller. Also just sticker on battery. Gonna do accubattery tests.
First result in, less than oem and this was my oem capicity previously
At 5% battery drained rapidly and power off. Upon turn in it was 1%, also I am on RR rom. Added Noad Battery calaberator root, said discharge from 100 to 0
Also draining faster than normal
Final result, stick to oem
Thx for sharing
Anyone tried putting OnePlus 8 Pro battery into OnePlus 7 Pro? Connector seems the same

Still better than my current OEM battery capacity XD

Actually I was wondering same thing, it would seem you can do a battery mod by removing the chip with that connecter and soldering a new battery with positive and negative wires (black and red). Not sure how wrap charge will affect say a 4000 mah polymer 606090 but it should be possible. Also I know polymers are less energy dense than ion but still, the OEM is a lot smaller than this polymer and mah is same
Please update the results after more charge cycles if you can. Accubattery usually underestimates the capacity until it has more data from my understanding
It needs more points because it doesn't believe you will do full charges each time. I put back my original battery because it still works better than this replacement. What I mean is that 1 to 100 was measured, if I did 1 to 30 then 20 to 60 etc will be different points and it will estimate based on that %(how much mah was gained) to get the average. Photo below is my original degraded battery, and at 2 % it last a good bit still instead of shutting down within 2 mins at 5%
what sot?
So I bought an oem from Ali Express and can say so far it seems to be the real deal
