I have stuck with using the oem LG battery and have purchased them twice on ebay
Sent from my LG-H910 using XDA Labs
What vendors sell legitimate stock batteries (there are alot of fakes out there)?
I've purchased an extended battery from a website, shipping out of Singapore to most international places, after reading various Reddit threads giving it very high praise and blowing scepticism out of the water.
It fits about 1/4 more capacity into the same size as the regular batteries by using Lithium-Polymer.
I'm waiting for it to arrive, once it does and I've tested it, I'll be writing up something of a review on it and putting it in this section, so lookout for that over the coming weeks.
Like cnjax, I've purchased a couple OEM batteries from eBay but have recently had my secondary one start failing with odd behaviour. If the battery level goes below 25% for example, the phone just dies and it'll only charge up to about 88%, which leads me to believe it's lower quality than the original I got with the phone.
But since that's over a year ago now, I figure I'll move that to a backup.

The battery is currently out of stock, but you can check out the link here. The available price was around $30.
I've been using two of these batteries, swapping between them every two days since early December, and they seem pretty solid so far. I usually get around 5 to 7 hours of screen-on time when going from full to around 10% (see attached screenshot), and the absolute most I've gotten was just over 10 hours of SOT. My numbers seem to be close to what someone else recently posted on Reddit, showing their AccuBattery stats over 2.5 months of usage.

Hey thanks for sharing the link and the reddit information about it. It's too bad they're sold out, perhaps these can be found somewhere else, regardless I appreciate the info as I had no idea they made a higher capacity LiPo battery that was pretty much the same size, that's awesome stuff!
Looks to be about the same as this one. I am currently using and testing this one.

The Lithium-Polymer battery from Singapore is now back in stock. Looking at the updated description in the old link, it gives you the updated link here. For some reason, the title doesn't say battery, but everything else on the new listing page is the same as before.
Update: I asked the sellers about the odd title/category, and they confirmed that this is the new listing page for the battery.
I've bought the Perfine Li-Poly 4100 mAh from Ali express, it takes the same space as original battery and only costs £10!
I have bought two of these and can confirm they are healthy near new and don't have the issues that other new-old-stock batteries have. https://www.ebay.com/itm/New-OEM-LG...e=STRK:MEBIDX:IT&_trksid=p2057872.m2749.l2648

Li-Po batteries are the way forward for the V20! I bought 2 Perfine ones and my SOT went from 2hrs45 - 3.5 to anything from 4.5 - 8!
The perfine 4200 one has been great for about a month now or so. Been getting about half an hour more use than stock but I've been using brightness at 100 compared to when I was using the stock one I usually had it on Auto.
Biggest issue which is close to making me try a different one very soon is my back cover keeps popping off some times multiple times a day. I have it in a case and I can always tell because the finger print scanner either stops working entirely or becomes very erratic.
I just got my maxxxjuice battery. It seems to fit. However, I put it in and started using the phone to run the battery down until shutoff (per instructions). It read 49%. In about 5 minutes of use, I noticed dark banding on the edges of the screen. It's like two dark areas running from the top of the phone to the bottom. I shut it off. Put the OEM battery back in. It had the banding, but lighter. About 5 minutes later, the banding is gone.
$33 bucks in the toilet.

Hi there,
My stock battery is quite dreadful, I get about 1 or 2 hours screen on time. I don't think its capacity is anywhere near 1800mah.
I just ordered a new battery off eBay, claiming to be 2300mah. It is not the One X+ battery, which is 2100mah. This was only £4 so I'm aware this could be poor quality. Delivery is Thursday, I'll be sure to post my comments about how the battery performs.
I also ordered a battery case (2400 mah), which has a flip cover, cost £14. I'm prone to smashing phone screens otherwise I would have gone for the crazy 6000mah mugen case. Delivery on this is very slow but again I will post a mini review about it in here.

I was going to buy that exact battery. There was some guy on youtube used that battery and he said that it's quite good. Sadly the seller does not ship to my country. I ended up ordering this
So I just installed the battery. At one point just before I put the copper sheet back on I realised I re installed the old battery haha.
Phone has been charging for about half an hour, and the temperatures are not good. 45°C. It is not because the copper sheet wasn't placed properly, since I can feel the heat on the back of the phone. I guess that is due to the battery maybe being poor quality (high internal resistance?), since it was only £4.
Sometime tomorrow I comment on how long it lasts compared to the old battery. Previously I could get 2 hours MAX screen on time. I think it should really be about 5 hours now, with a 2300 mah battery.

Have you received your battery yet? I'm interested to see how it performs, I don't think anyone else in the forums has got one.
After using this new 2300 mah battery for 2/3 days, I am still very disappointed with battery life. Battery life is still exactly the same, I get about 2 hours screen on if I'm conservative. I may try CM11 later to see if battery life improves. I am doubtful it will though, since it did not improve battery life with the old battery.
Going to run 'Nova Battery Test' tonight and will post results. Also have some screenshots incoming.

The seller said that I would receive it in 3 weeks time. A lot of waiting. And if I receive it, I would wait until I'm done with the exams before changing the battery. Maybe at the end of June. Haha. But the guy from youtube said that he got a large improvement using the battery now.
So today I've been quite impressed by battery performance. I got 3 and a half hours screen on time! Nearly double what I had with the old battery. This is still not enough to get me through a day (battery came off charge at 4:30, died at 11:30) but I am still pleased. Hopefully can achieve this performance consistently!
Battery performance is now poor again, 90 minutes screen on time. I don't know how I got 3 hours screen on before. Seems it was a one off? I am now saving for a new phone.
How's the battery holding up? I just got my battery replaced after two years from HTC repair centre and it seems to be as new. Got the same old 1800mah battery. I'll post screen shots after the battery has depleted to 5%

hi buddy check my last post in this thread... http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2096459&page=22
overall the phone is as good as new... i am getting an average screen on time of around 3hrs and 15mins.. this may sound less, however i spend atleast 7-8hrs listening to music hence the screen time is less in my case. but if i reduce my music usage then the max i have got is 3 hrs 40 mins... pretty impressive imo... i might use it for another 6 months or so before upgrading,,,,

Yeah unfortunately.
I recalibrated the battery using an app. I might install a different recovery and clear battery stats from there.
The battery case has helped a lot. I'll post a mini review later.
Hi all
Does anyone know where i can find a legit replacement battery for my phone. I look at amazon and they either look too cheap or have terrible reviews. Where can i get official batteries for about 20 pounds or less. I live in the UK.
Thanks
"Craftmann" makes not bad batteries. Check this.
Do you have a link? I heard that only the oem battery was recommended.
I bought it directly from Samsung. There was a review on a german site, which showed that 12 out of 12 batteries from amazon were faked ones.

http://www.ebay.de/itm/2100mah-Akku...90-Batterie-original-B500BE-NFC-/151630886545
i just replaced my battery with the oem one although i bought it for like 9€ from a local shop.
although it lasts a bit longer, when it gets to around 30% then its no more stable and it will possible have the the usual behaviour we all know dropping instantly to 20-10% in minutes etc...
anyways....is there something we have to do when we replace a battery? Are there and battery stats or something that we have to reset or tickle so that Android will "learn" the new installed battery is in place?

You probably bought a counterfeit battery.
As stated above most of the OEM Samsung Batteries that are sold are faked.

hmmm you may unfortunatelly be right....:| is there a way to identify? i guess that would be hard.
any others "good ones" like Craftmann that sb mentioned here?
anyone has any 1900mah battery to suggest please?
Not looking for extreme capacities and stuff, but one that you have tested and behaves just like or close to when we all had the original battery that came with the phone.
Someone recommended the Deji battery but there is no way on earth i can find somewhere else than this Turkish shop
I have been on TechOrbits battery bought at Amazon.com for about two weeks now and am satisfied with it. They have warranty, so if the battery bloats (which happened to the previous eBay knock-off in just one year) I could get it replaced.
https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B01M5EK96F/
i would really go down and get this one
http://www.mobilefun.co.uk/39677-of...-1900mah-standard-battery-Reviews.htm#reviews
judging by so many positive comments i think its the safest bet so far, so many fakes....i bought one for 8€ and it sucks badly.its getting close to the performance my 3year old official battery had.
Having lost my original battery and having to rely on a cheap ebay battery I thought I'd try mobilefun. THey shipped immediately, battery arrived in what looked like official Samsung packaging. So far so good, battery lasts much longer than my cheap ebay option and probably longer than my original battery but I dont have any stats to back that up. Battery discharge is slow and steady unlike the cheap ebay option which I've found tends to drop off a cliff when it drops below 15%. I can confirm that NFC works as well. Still early days but the signs look promising.
There are genuine Samsung batteries on eBay, the best bet is listings that include a photo of the packaging. A seller that is closer to home is preferred as well (if your home is not China or Hong Kong, anyway).

I have the same behavior as well with my 1900 mA battery although I bought it from an official store for around 27 USD.
This behavior appeared only few months after purchase.
Now the battery charges in 2 hours and 5 minutes and lasts for 6 or 7 hours only (normal usage).

My original battery is dead, she worked for a long time, she deserves peace. The problem is founding a new one!
I bought one from ebay but it's REALLY bad. Do I have to throw out my loved S4 mini cause there are no adequate replacements avalible? Someone knows a good place to buy it in 2020?
On my side I'm using a battery from Gadfull (can be found on amazon in some EU country). I've been using one for almost 3 years and for 2.5 years the capacity was good. I will get a new one this week.

Hi guys, has anybody of you tried changing their N5's battery? If you did, where did you get the replacement?
My N5 has been showing signs of severe battery degradation. It's easily discharged. I'm finding myself charging it two to three times a day. Even on standby, it discharges a lot even there's no wakelocks I'm seeing from betterbatterystats app. Its been a year since I bought our N5 so I guess it's time to replace its battery.
I'm seeing some batteries from eBay but would like to know from where you get yours and how's the quality compared to the original default one.
Thanks.
I would also like to know that, as mine discharges pretty quickly as well.
im pretty sure google is still doing RMAs for the nexus 5. Every nexus 5 owner gets one free RMA. if you cant find a replacement this might be the next best thing

Well i went ahead and ordered it already. Waiting for it to arrive could be here any day now. I don't have any problem with my current battery now but I'm hoping the extra capacity would give me more freedom because sometimes I'm away from home and don't have access to a charger. Also it's German brand and I'm hoping it turns out good [emoji6]

Just to update on my purchase, got it and installed since Feb. Been two months and I can say that it is as good as the original.
Only had slight problem prying open the back cover of my N5 during the process of replacement due to my clumsiness?. Got two small cracks now on the sides of my N5, near the volume area and power button area.

I'll definitely share my impressions when it arrives, I'm starting to get a bit concerned right now as it's been more than 3 weeks since I've ordered it and it still isn't here yet. Usually shipments inside Europe are completed within a week. Also I've noticed a very strange thing, the listed price for the polarcell battery for Nexus 5 is $140+ now, i purchased it for $25 bucks and it's crazy how the price jumped this much!!! All other plarcell batteries for other phones are around the same price as the one i purchased, only the nexus 5 one is listed $140+ [emoji15].

No, I live in the states, just did a quick check, the just make sure that it looks like you are purchasing from a reputable seller.
I have ordered from http://www.repairsuniverse.com before, and they do international shipping, I wasn't sure at first so I didn't post them up.
Btw, what part of Canada are you in?
Same boat as you, located in Canada and needed a new battery for my N5.
Ordered from purebrindle on ebay (http://www.ebay.ca/itm/252020872255?_trksid=p2060353.m2749.l2649&ssPageName=STRK:MEBIDX:IT) and it was counterfeit. Battery was DOA
Then ordered from gdcdirect on ebay (http://www.ebay.ca/itm/261431163466?_trksid=p2060353.m2749.l2649&ssPageName=STRK:MEBIDX:IT) and it works great. A little expensive but worth it for a reputable seller imo.
Hope this helps
thanks for the posts... after all the 5x dealbreaker leaks im keeping the n5 so need a new battery...currently living in alberta...

just to follow up it seems the battery from gdc direct is fake...it didn't say lg on the back like original, can literally see it drain with screen on and seems to stick around 29 °c all the time...at this point im probably just getting the oneplusx ...
called LG canada and they told me this place sells the original battery and its just under $60 CDN...should have done this in the first place
https://www.reliableparts.ca/locations
just to follow up the battery i bought from the LG Canada recommended place (relieableparts.ca) is a real battery...its more money but at least i have a real battery that will last a few years (and not blow up)
in the process of returning the fake battery from gdcdirect on ebay...hes making it really hard and wanting me to ship back the fake battery to get a refund...avoid this seller!

Do you have the part number of the battery that you bought on Realiableparts.ca? I did not find the battery on the website. Thank you!
EDIT: I have called the store and order one by phone. For reference, here's the part number of the battery: EAC62078701

Do you mind sharing what your SOT was like before the new battery and now after.

i dont have exact SOT times but my old battery (and lollipop) barely lasted a day but now im getting at 2-3 days of usage...this could also be attributed to doze in android 6 so not scientific testing at all...
I bought a replacement battery for nexus 5 from seller Cell Phone DIY on amazon.ca (seller is based in Toronto).
It arrived like 3~4 days ago and seems good so far. Date stamp on battery was 2015 04 28, back of the battery had label with random codes with "Sony" on it.

does the battery stay at 29 C? if so its fake...im not an expert but i think all real OEM batterys are made by LG but maybe there are some sony
here is an image i got off reddit that compares real to fake:
What should I do to test battery voltage? I assume plugging in to charge? That should heat up the battery, right? or no?
Also, if temperature is fixed at 29.0C, it is fake? is that what you are saying?
How much in temperature change should I be seeing?
**update, when phone is idle I see a temp of 29.4C, when I plug in to AC to charge it dropped to 28.9C within seconds.
I'll check after a bit and see what temp I see.
I did take a picture of the battery I bought before installing... here it is. Seems legit but than again... whom ever made the print can print how ever they can.... so can't really rely on that.
have no idea about voltage just talking temp here..
fake batteries just stay around 29c where a real one will have a much different range of temps (if you never see temps other than 28/29 very good chance you have a fake)

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.

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.
