Battery monitor widget is reporting that the extended battery is 1750mHa. Can someone with the extended battery check what theirs say?
thx
Mine says the same. Got the Extended battery directly from verizonwireless.com
just installed and it reports the same but it also says in big red letters: "Measuring mAh requires a charge cycle of at least 50% for accuracy."
which i didn't do.
Umm. You have to go into the settings and manually set how large the battery is.

note you can also just define a new battery (i did and called it extended) and tell it its 2100mAh
Again, when you go into the settings there is an option that you must manually set to say how large the battery is. Maybe the app doesn't do a good enough job of explaining this. When you first start using the app, the mAh is just a placeholder.

Hi,
I got a new aftermarket battery, same size but more power: is there anything I should do (delete battery stats, manually or through an app, etc...) to have it work properly?
thanks

i doubt its legit anyway..
Your good to go bud the Android system will take care of everything. Wiping battery stats is a thing of the past.

Nothing special to do.
Problem is, if the battery is the same size, its probably the same (or even less) mAh capacity as stock, and just being sold as larger w/ a different label

in theory battery is without NFC so the advertised 1900mAh should be real
is tehre a way to check the real mAh of a battery?
Battery Monitor Widget shows you the mAh of your battery,
By the way, Did you tray to dial the code *#*#4636#*#* on the phone, and then go to the option "battery info"?

As with any battery I suggest charge and discharge FULLY two or three times to condition the battery. Don't top it off for the first bit. If its not genuine, I wouldn't hold my breath. Don't let it sit discharged in your phone lest it leak. My 2cents.
if its the same size as the oem its not 1900mah.
I have recently purchased the Verizon Samsung Extended Battery for both my phone and my wife's. It is supposed to have a capacity of 2100Mah.
However, using the app, Battery Monitor Widget, the app is reading the capacity of both batteries at 1750Mah on both my phone and my wife's phone.
Is this a fault of the app? Can it be possible that both batteries are bad?
If this is all the capacity I am going to get, I might as well go back to stock and get my money back. I just don't want to wait too long and be outside of the return policy from the Verizon store.
Thanks
Reset the battery stats.

No.
Battery stats have NO effect on the percentage or MaH being read.
That being said, I haven't personally tested my extended via that app...or others.
But I generally get JUST A BIT more juice out of the extended.
I'd say it's worth it...especially if you're (obviously) wanting that extra juice...you can just swap mid-day if need be.

Yes, but it's still a good app.
perhaps you can use the program to compare both batteries directly.

I will install the stock battery tonight when I get home, measure it, and report back.

So the stock battery showed up as 1750 as well. I then did some research using the app's help section. I found out you can do a calibration during charge that will determine the actual mah of the battery.
So I ran my battery down to 17%, then turned on the calibration and plugged my phone in. This morning when I looked at the app, it showed by extended battery actual mah as 2022 after the calibration test.
I read a little more, if I run it down to 1 or 2%, it will give a more accurate mah. Therefore, my test for tonight is to drain my battery then run the calibration overnight again.
I will report back my test results tomorrow.
I've seen a similar subject for other phones but not for the GNex. I bought some OEM batteries off eBay and turns out they're fake... not only does the NFC not work but they also put out 3.8 volts where the real battery puts out 3.7... Does anyone know if this is safe to use. I really don't want to jack up my phone from using a bogus battery.
With other phones it seems that the main problem is the battery will not charge fully unless charged in the dock. I've used the battery long enough to check the voltage and if the NFC worked then took it out.

I'm not sure about the gnex specifically. I have an extended battery in my G2 and on "battery widget" it says it's 4.19V, on the battery the label reads 3.7VDC. It is a ebay china battery. I can't say if the widget is accurate or not, but I haven't had any issues on my phone.
Lithium batteries fully charge around 4.2v, 3.7-3.8v is for storing the battery long term. Since at that voltage there isn't much stress on the cells.
Thanks for the info. I'll just have to assume since the guy has sold quite a few of these china batteries that none have blown up yet or else it would have been reported on eBay.

I am using the extended battery and nothing wrong with it haven't had any problems yet and its been 4 months

Hi all who stumble upon my question. I recently purchased a 2500mAh battery from ebay but I am having a few issues with my phone/power/charging. Firstly I did a battery stats wipe when the phone was on <1%. Now it always says the battery is on 100% until it dies, even when the phone is offline and the battery is dead it says it's at 100%. This also means that the battery won't charge to its full capacity I have tried wiping the battery stats again once it is charged but unfortunately it makes no difference. Is it because of the rom that i'm on? and i preferably don't want to do a data wipe. I am using the heaven droid rom http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1801634
Furthermore, i'm finding that i don't get much more usage out of this battery than with the original 1500mAh battery (before i was having this problem...) any tips?
Thanks for reading this, Aaron
Was it an official battery or cheap knock off, if it's the latter I'd bin it and buy an official one.

yeah it was a cheap one but it is bigger and heavier than a genuine ba750 so it seemed legit to me

It is, but the system is locked to 1500 only. After it dies reinsert battery and it would continue the left juice

ok i've kinda tried your suggestion and the battery has been lasting longer. But i flashed AOKP JB and i still have the same problem. Although the battery now says it's at 1%. I performed a data wipe etc. This is getting annoying now :'(

Try this : Download from play store "root browser", open it and go to /system and open file "build.prop" (as text) and edit line :
ro.semc.batt.capacity=1500 (the 1500 replace with your new capacity)!
Then save and close file, reboot phone.
Hi guys, I want to ask how good is this battery compared with original note 2500mah battery?
Any sun global battery user here to provide some feedback? Thank you.

Recommand!
I'm started to using Sun Global 3000 mAh battery since my ori battery get pregnant last month,
It can last a bit longer than samsung ori battery. I got up to 5hour screen on time with 3G on, some browsing and Most of the time with high graphic Gaming! Samsung ori battery only able to give me around 3 hour and half only.
Sorry to say it, but comparison based on daily usage is not reliable, because no two days are identical in terms of usage and phone signal.
IMO, the only way to compare batteries without special equipment, is to measure the run time in comparable conditions, e.g continuous video playback of the same movie with all possible phone features switched off (no sync, no gps, plane mode etc.), preferably with minimal backlight (longer measurement time provides cleaner results)
ampere rating
Shouldn't we check the ampere rating? Some high capacity batteries are known for bad current.
Hi Guys,
Just bought a Sun Global 3000mAh battery yesterday. So far it seems to be holding superior than the original.
FYI, I am using Nova Battery Tester and currently running the test. I will update the results once it's completed.
For the time being you can refer to the attached picture, it shows that after 8 hours of usage, I still have 56% battery left.
Finished the test, here's the result.
Apparently the mAh claimed by Sun Global is not the actual mAh. What I got from this test is only 2541 mAh... which is slightly better than the original.
Hope this helps.

I'm also using this battery, but never achieve 5hr screen on time. Maximum also 4hr only. 5hr doesn't seem possible for me.
