I recently replaced my Moto Z Play original battery with what I considered to be an original OEM from Moto service agent.
After installing my Battery app (Accubattery) tells me that its only reaching 2600 mAh charge with the system saying its 100% charged - on checking with the service agent the battery is marked as 3300 mAh noting that the phone is listed at approx 3500 mAh.
Alipay have various suppliers listing the GL30 battery and quote as 3300 mAh but also have a statement that capacity is - 2800 to 3800 mAh. Is this level of variance normal?
I am sure the Moto agent has used one of the Chinese suppliers but thats reasonable given the fact the phone's made there.
Should I be asking the service agent to replace the battery so I get upwards of 3000 mAh. The reasoning being that the drain is 30%+ quicker than when I originally purchased the phone and I paid full Moto price for the replacement battery.
Or is it that I have ended up with the best deal possible?
I assume you're the victim of a fake battery vendor. For original replacement, look at ifixit. They offer original motorola spare parts and batteries and replacement tutorials too

Thanks for the reply.
I used original Moto Service agent so I'd expect them to use genuine batteries. I have seen a like battery from the egents stock and it was marked as 3300 mAh - but I can only reach 2600 mAh after 6 full charges.
If you check online the suppliers quote 3300mAh but go on to give a capacity range which can be anything down to 2800 mAh.
Confusing to me as the uneducated.
If you look here https://www.ifixit.com/Store/Parts/Moto-Z-Play-Replacement-Battery/IF368-005-2 and zoom at the battery picrure it says 3300 mAh

What do you guys think. Is it even possible to get a 2500mah battery that small?
it looks interesting, but seems to be a fake 2500... need some review

* This replacement battery has an integrated microchip that prevents overcharging and lengthens battery life.
* Best replacement for the original battery with comparable standby and talk time.
* Great bargain with excellent quality guaranteed!
* Type: Generic / Aftermarket
* Cell type: Lithium Ion
* Voltage: 3.7V

So if the capacity is 2500mAh compared to 1650mAh for the stock battery, why are the standby and talk times comparable, instead of vastly superior.
it seems the battery doesn't fit inside s2 !see the comments in feedback section of the seller
So the conclusion is: don't buy this battery!
this is because some people having t'mobile version gs2 bought this battery that is for international gs2 only.
Ok guys here's the real manufacturer page of the Momax X-level battery. Same specs as stock. Not better

yes, i couldn't find the 2500 version on their website
don't buy!

Any Li-ion battery the same size as the original is going to be more or less the same capacity, however there are many sellers who simply upgrade the label and charge more. This has turned into a bit of an arms-race where every seller feels he has to try and out-do the competition's outrageous claims. I've seen the same batteries advertised as 1650mA, 1850mA, 2000mA, 2200mA and now this guy's just trumped that.
When you complain that it doesn't last any longer than the standard battery you'll no doubt be told you have to go through umpteen discharge/charge cycles before it is at full capacity. This is also BS of course.
These are probably perfectly good 1650mA batteries, just don't get conned into paying more for a bigger number on the label.
This batt is fake, I had to buy one to believe it. I used battery monitor app to get the infor about its capacity and it says its 1650!!! Not 2500
don't buy!
I bought two pieces but same the original battery
not need for me...
One good solution for people looking for a greater capacity battery for the SG2 is the Anker at 1900mAh. I have it one year so far, and after hundreds of charging cycles it is still as good as it was the first time. Sorry for the off-topic, however not very often I have bought such a reliable non-brand product. Between 1650 and 1900 the small difference is, that the phone will make it through the day with a moderate use, because for heavy use not even the 2500 is enough....:good:
Are those Nexus 5 batteries at AliExpress with a capacity of 3800mAh legit? They even claim it's the same size as the original batteries.
No, this is fake... Maybe the real capacity will have a 1500mAh... Search original or replacement of good quality, for example. PolarCell: http://www.polarcell.de/english.html
I second that (what bykumza writes), if the manufacturer (LG) could have fitted a real 3800 mAh battery they would have done that. Often the more modest capacity values are more accurate. I can confirm that PolarCell are very good, well worth the money. The Chinese cheapies often dissapoint.

Actually Nexus 5 and G2 are released almost same date. Nexus 5 has 2300 mah battery and G2 has 3000 mah. I bought G2 battery and put it in my Nexus 5. It fits but it needs ~1 mm space which is not a problem for LG to do it! But they did not! That company did not put 3000 mah battery in nexus 5 which could have been the bestseller because of price/performance and put 2300 mah in it so they could sell their ****ing G2s with great battery life. So no they would not have done it even if they could. Today companies do not do so much things that they can, we just can't even imagine. Intel, Nvidia, Qualcomm, Samsung , apple and other mobile companies are good example. Why on earth can't mobile companies like apple put bigger batteries in it's super high price phones? Juts why? Samsung managed to put 3600 mah battery in 5.5 inch phone which is smaller then iphone 6s plus or 7 plus which has ~2900 mah and takes 3 and a half ****ing hours to charge it!!!!
Would you recommend to get a replacement battery from PolarCell instead of getting OEM original one?

And... Why not G2 battery? I need a replacement to
Thanks
Fitting G2 battery requires some hardware modification, which I frankly don't feel like doing.
I just wonder which battery is better, a PolarCell one (someone recommend in previous post) or OEM one.
Polarcell is reportedly one of the best alternatives and has a slightly higher capacity than the original cost can say that comes out more or less the same as the original.
Here, unfortunately, you have to answer on your own if you want to take a chance and buy a replacement if you prefer a standard solution.

PollarCell is the best choice?
I see one with 2450mAh o_o
i ordered a 3400 mah battery on Aliexpress and put it in, but even after installing another rom the battery doesnt charge properly
I know saying this probably isn't that helpful, but you'll probably be better of buying a new standard sized battery from a legit company, provided you can find one that hasn't been laying on a shelf for three years already. Most of the cheap (higher capacity) Chinese batteries you'll find on aliexpress will be fakes (or low quality) anyway. It's just highly unlinkely that it's possible to fit a capacity that high in the same package as a 2700Mah battery.

that sucks. do you think i can use the battery for something else?
Hi all,
Anyone know of a good quality replacement battery for the Le Max2?
I recently cracked my screen, so now I'm considering replacing both screen and battery.
I charged it today from 0-100% with my battery gizmo reporting just over 2500mAh capacity left in the OEM battery.
So hopefully a decent battery will bring it back to life for another year of use.
85% of my battery is left in the battery.
So I can use it as 2600 mah.
It means there's a 15% loss in 1 year.
Just go to Aliexpress or ebay.com and buy the cheapest you can find. With LeEco dead some spare parts are getting hard to find, like grey screens or camera glass (not the protectors).
Just to report back; I bought one of the cheap 'original' 3100mAh batteries for my le max 2 on AliExpress. After installing it and giving it a few charges, I measured it at 2800mAh.
So not quite the advertised capacity, but more then the 2500mAh I had left in the 2 year old original.
What do you guys think, if I go for "original" 3100 mAh battery I guess I can get Like 2600-2700 real juice. Read the comments on Ali and if I buy extended version that is declared 4400 mAh , I will get real 3100 ...
Anyone bought some specific model recently and measured iz with accu?
Thanx in advance.
Hello guys,
Have you found any battery for le max 2 which has real 4000+ mAh capacity ? Because most of the batteries being sold are scam and only have ~3100 mAh capacities, instead of 4000+.
Thanks.

Buy a battery case instead. Anything for the mate 9 should fit, with some caveats.
Hello there, Nexus 5 enthusiasts.
It's been quite a while since we talked about it and people reported regularly about their battery replacements here on XDA for their nexus 5.
With this thread I'm just going to try and ask for help to the modding community, as I've been through hell and back, and after many batteries purchased, dremel quests, soldering smokes, fingers burned and quite a bit of swearing, I'm still here, stuck with a provisory battery (the only LG G2 one that managed to not die) that boasts the astonishing capacity of 1630mAh.
I've become a walking charger man, always looking for the next electric socket to plug my N5 into.
This has to stop.
So I gave up my search engines quest and I'm asking for your human help.
I'm picturing this thread as some kind of "summary thread", in which we sum up our experiences and our successes, and see what works and what doesn't.
Please post your experience in here if you've been successful in extending your Nexus 5 battery life with a battery mod, and please indicate where you bought the battery (paste the shop link)
So, as far as I understand, it looks like:
° Some korean guy bought the 525666 3020 mAh battery from taobao and managed to slam it into the N5 dremeling the chassis. This option, however, isn't viable, as european and american people cannot have batteries shipped to them from China (something about safety regulations), so we Westerners cannot adopt this solution.
° The LG g2's 3000 mAh batteries are too old and will yield abysmal charge (see my experience with it). On top of that, there's virtually no way to know if you're receiving an original one
° Someone said that the N5X batteries are a viable option, and 2700mAh are enough.
° Looking through these N5 battery replacement threads, I've come to know that the 3020 525666 battery from taobao is actually the Xiaomi Mi4 battery. Is this true? If it is, westerners could purchase one outside taobao on ebay or amazon or similar. Would purchasing the Mi4 battery and modding it with the original N5 battery circuit be a good solution? However the voltage of this battery is 4.40V, much higher than the 3.8V of the original. Is this okay or not?
The N5X option is certainly viable, however before spending more money, I'd like to make all the options clear for me and for all the people that are still interested in this mod.
Calling up @234herobrine432 and all the others
The Modders Battery Talk.
The truth is you can do the Lg G2 battery mod on a lot of batteries (And devices) it source doesn't need to be the Lg G2 battery and the destination doesn't need to be the Nexus 5. The main things you should consider are the Voltage and the Dimensions of the battery:
Voltage: You want the SAME as the OEM
mAh: Higher means longer lasting(Not always but assuming the Wh rating is also higher in the battery)
Wh: Same as OEM or Higher
As for how you can use a 4.4V battery to replace the 3.8V phone. The answer is simple the 3.8V is the nominal voltage rating of the LiPo battery meaning that the power delivery of it is actually between 4.35V and 3.0V (as stated on the OEM Battery). So the fully charged battery will output 4.35V that said if you put a 4.4V battery in a phone that's rated for 3.8V the circuit will stop charging the battery at 4.35V. That said the 4.4V minimum voltage is almost the same but a higher maximum voltage I.e 4.4V vs 4.35V. So Tl:dr you can but it's not the best idea.
Now since you want to get more battery capacity, look at alternative LiPo Batteries for batteries that will fit into the Nexus 5. A good starting point would be BL-T32 and BL-T34. Dimensions might not be exactly the same as I have yet to try but the battery itself will work. Alternatively assuming you have a 3d printer you could just get away with printing a new backplate and don't have to worry about the Dimensions of the new battery.
As for sites I've used for OEMs are (Made account to answer to this so can't post hyperlinks):
spareslg.com => Nexus 5X OEM battery
globaldirectparts.com => LG G2 OEM Battery
Hope this Helps.
copy pasted from my other reply, i just wanna share my thoughts. i bought a 3rd party battery straight from their official seller, here it is called SHOPEE.com: LOG-ON battery, claims to have 3500mah, which i doubt. but the good thing is, i found a manufactured stickered on physical battery 04/2018. so yea, might as well buy third party one. it is newer, less hassle. and in dollar, its about $4 shipped.
Hello sir i found one battery in aliexpress.com claiming to have 3500 mah capacity which is compatible with nexus 5 blt9 variety. Can i be able to use that extra juice? Does the system detects the extra battery capacity? Is there any modifications like flashing zip or terminal command to be made to make it work? Will it be useful? I'm pasting the link with the reply.i hope I'll get a reply
HSABAT 3500mAh BL-T9 for LG Google Nexus 5 Battery E980 Nexus G D820 D821 Nexus5 Megalodon D8 for LG Nexus 5 Battery
https://s.click.aliexpress.com/e/tOhxSk9E
Chinese Batteries Explained.
There are 3 Major Common Battery Mislabelers in China:
LOSONCOER
HSABAT
DA DA XIONG
Lets break down what each of them do:
TL;DR: POLARCELL for aftermarket batteries don't trust any of these 3.
HSABAT: Buys and sells lower end OEM batteries. When a company I.e samsung/google/apple or any brand orders a batch of batteries they are tested and the batch is ranked based on the tests. Normally higher end brands only accept the best batches. So the mid tier batches end up being bidded on by battery sellers or other resellers. HSABAT is one of these resellers. Except the batches that are normally bid on are 4-6 so the first 3 are normally bought off by the time HSABAT gets access to these for bids and might not even win the tier 4 and only the tier 6. So the batteries are Mislabeled Batteries none the less. I.e they are much lower capacity then stated but they are made at the same plant the OEM are made at.
Da Da Xiong: These guys buy USED OEM batteries and relabel them as well as joining on the bids for the lower tier batteries against HSABAT. I.e they are mislabeled if you lucky its a used OEM.
LOSONCOER: Same as first 2 but doesn't have as much sales so tends to be even lower end then the other 2. I.e doesn't have the profit needed for major bids. Also goes as far as to tell people that the readings are wrong and not to rip off the labels of the batteries to reveal the OEM logo to avoid unrest and lower reviews.
For people still looking for good batteries and dont live in the EU so PolarCell batteries are quite expensive should check out NOHON. They Ship for much cheaper then polarcell and this is my third battery that is indeed greater then the min of 2220mAh.
I recently purchased a PolarCell off eBay from the EU. Lets hope it makes it.

PolarCell battery came in and in the phone. Based off 3 charging sessions it looks the battery health is 89%. Better than the 87% I had but it does seem to consume as a slower rate.
