Got this stock thickness battery off of ebay.ph for about 18 USD.
And as you'd expect it's not a true 2500 mAh capacity ... at least that's what Battery Monitor Widget tells me. This should be a decent backup battery. Performance is similar to stock so far since I got it last Saturday (03/24), will have a better feel for it through this week's normal use.
Here's a screenshot :

I should do a better benchmark starting from a 5% current battery charge, but you get the idea

I think the calibration is more accurate this time. I no longer get weird behavior of the battery going from ~40% to 0% in an instant.
I'm using MX Video player on SW decoder right now at 21% battery charge. Will do another full discharge and run through the calibration test again to see if the reading is consistent.

The capacity shown in software may not be relevant as battery capacity is hardcoded into kernel.

This is true. Extended capacity batteries tend to behave weirdly because of hardcoded capacity amount in the kernel.
EDIT: Mind if I know which app is that?

It's called "Battery Monitor Widget" by developer 3C
From the way it measures mAh, you need a charge of 50% or below, plug it in and from the time it takes to charge to 100% it can calculate the mAh ... strange because i know the way to calculate mAh is to have a steady load discharging the battery. i guess the opposite works too?
I googled exactly that battery and I found a report where someone checked the bettery properly and measured it's capacity (outside the phone)....
It had 1500 mAh like the stock on...
iridaki said:
If the kernel has hardcoded values for the battery capacity
(in which case, it does) no app whatsoever can tell you how much mAh your battery really is.
As I stated in the OP, I have a kernel that can override the values Sony set for the battery and allow the fuel gauge to read the battery capacity.
Anyone interested, let me know!

BATTERY MONITOR WIDGET CANNOT DISPLAY THE REAL CAPACITY.
Sony had hardcoded the stock mAh value in their kernels. See the thread from which I took the quote for more info.
Although, to be honest, a bigger battery in mAh same size as stock would be MUCH more expensive, so it's most batteries as such are likely fake.

Sure, go ahead and disregard what I said above about 1500 mAh battery capacity value being hardcoded in the kernel and Battery Monitor being totally unable to display the real capacity.

It's your opinion and I respect it. I don't have to believe it nor do I impose my own opinions upon others.
These are based on my tests and experiences. If you want me to believe in what you say, then go and use a stock kernel and use Battery Monitor Widget on your own extended battery and we can discuss on the same level.

It's not really an opinion but rather a fact. Any software needs a reference value that will be used to calculate battery status, remainging capacity etc.. Sony hardcoded stock battery capacity into kernel (1500mah). So any battery will show up as a 1500mah one unless you modify and compile a kernel for your battery.
I don't know if there is any kernel for arc/arcs that inquire battery for its real capacity. Maybe FXP cyanogen mod one as it's not based on Sony one.
I don't know if wrong capacity values have influence on battery life though.

And if you had read the link I sent you -something I did to HELP you, not criticise you in any way-
you would see that I did experimented A LOT on the subject and I was lucky enough to have Bazoocase
(a developer who introduced the workaround for "fried" battery fuel gauges) help me and explain things to me.
I was only passing on information that is useful, trying to help you because I was in your place not long ago when I bought my external battery.
Your test and experiences are based on false facts given by a 3rd party "universal" android app, not specific either to Sony devices nor Sony kernels.
Sure, hold on to them, I really can't afford to care, but if you actually want to evaluate your extended battery properly, you know where to find me.

I use set CPU. Some ppl argue it drains battery, but I believe if you have it set at a fast enough speed for your taste and just have a few other profiles it helps. The hugest bettery improvement for me came when I used the battery calibration app. Just drain your battery to 1% and use it. My battery life jumped from 12 hrs to 48 hrs! Also leaving Bluetooth, Wi-Fi, data and auto sync except when you need them helps.

I too have issues with the battery life of my desire z. With everything off and just sms and taking a few calls, battery only lasts up to 12 hours.
Tried several apps which didn't help either.I'm running on stock rom. Would changing roms help?
Will try set cpu and see what happens.

I don't know how to use SetCPU correctly. I always encounter errors. Please help fill out what i need to in the SetCPU.
Different people have different ideas about setcpu. Some believe that you shouldn't have any profiles. Others run many profiles. Personally, I believe that if you have setcpu set for userspace or on demand the phone is then constantly trying to figure out how much performance you need, causing a slight drain. I have mine set to 1113MHz performance. And for screen of the complete minimum. It never really gets to warm and is fast for everything I need. You said you where getting errors? What kind?

Root and flash a rom. I was at 12 hours before. Also get the app 'battery calibrator' after rooting. I can't argue with 48hours... can you?
Sent from my HTC Vision using XDA Premium App
48 hours from the miscalibrated battery indicator (which is possible from the 1% trick) or did you actually use the phone for 48 hours?
Unless it's in airplane mode, it won't last 2 days with moderate use. In particular, any usage that includes 3G will drain the battery quick unless you have a strong signal.
flash cyanogenmod nightly, or 7.0 stable...
settings on cyanogenmod w stock battery:
cpu low 245mhz
cpu high 724mhz (or something)
scheduling: powersave
display: automagic or 50%

this works for 24 hours of occasional use, phone calls, sms, browsing.
and go order 2 of the red INCREDIBLE 1800mah batteries off ebay like i did (just arrived today) for $10 total, including shipping. i'm draining the batteries in 2 of my g2's right now with wifi, btooth, max settings, and youtube HD playing constantly. after they're drained to auto shutoff, i'll charge over night, then test like i normally use the phone tomorrow.
supposedly this battery is 1.4 x the capacity of the stock g2 battery. we'll see if it really is
Letting a li-ion battery fully drain is really bad. Li-ion batteries don't last forever and after a certain amount of charges it will eventually dither. Its a lot of charges to make that happen but you should never let a li-ion battery fully deplete. Oh and there is no such thing as battery calibration for li-ion batteries.
Also to the OP you shouldn't let the world know your imei number...just a thought
dont send me pm's crying about how i hurt your feelings in a thread

the phone shuts off, before harm is done. that's my understanding. at a grand whopping total of $10 total (shipped, for two ( 2 ) of these 1800mah things) i'm not really worried.
the os is smart enough to not fully deplete the battery, ei shutting itself off. i may toss the old ones in a fire (gasp!) at some point just for fun and to make the greenies cringe.

After 3,5 hours of use (some Wifi/phonecalls) still on 100%!!! No way with stock LG battery... nice one.

That can't be possible. Reboot the phone and see if it shows you a true battery percentage.

I've read those are pretty good for use, typically better than stock batteries, but that they tend to drain a little more quickly when the phone's in standby than stock batteries. Regardless, I bought a couple. They're cheap enough, I'll give it a whirl =) worst case scenario, a couple extra backup batteries for me!

I thought so too, first guess was that i had to clean battery stats. After that it wasn't on 100%. But still at 89% now, after more than 7 hours with wifi on... movie on highest brightness and whatever.
Let's see if the performance will last, saw a lot of chinese products starting nice but in the end... :cyclops:

Have you actually put the battery through a few full charge-discharge cycles? Without putting it through a few days of use first, it is not really possible to tell how the battery performs compared to the stock battery.
It seems fishy that this battery is the same size as the stock 1800 mAh battery, but has a 30% increase in capacity...

Interested in more in depth reviews!
been looking for something like this for a while. Should be great if you could give us a complete review & comparison. Thanks
I did not have much time the last days, here a short update.
Battery meter shows 100% for a long time, after some reboots it will go down to 90% but no change in battery meter if i dont do a reboot. Later the phone will shot down without any warning.
I will try to fully drain the battery and charge it in my phone with stock LG charger, see how this works out. I charged it with the 3rd party charger, that comes with the battery.
Also no success with battery calibration (because it won't charge if meter shows 100%) and clean battery stats in CWM.
Hi Cromson, can you test the battery calibration with Stock ICS, thanks!
To me, a battery that can't actually report its battery level (and has a questionable third party mAH claim) isn't worth ANY amount of money.
Just buy a second OEM BL-49KH battery and swap them out if you are concerned about extra bulk, and if you aren't get a Hyperion "3800" mAH battery.

Battery level is there, after some full cycle's (draining/loading) in the phone. Definitly better than stock battery, approx. 3-4 hours more time.

The fact that it cannot actually report battery level is highly suspicious. The Hyperion 3800mAh has no problems reporting accurate battery level.
So are there any other alternatives to fix the battery life? It's really horrible...what roms are you guys using?

Hi all,
I'm using AccuBattery Pro and it shows my phone's battery capacity is at 3106 mAh. I understand this is a 3rd party app and it probably not 100% accurate. I'm curious to know what numbers you are getting. I just want a way to validate Oneplus is indeed giving me a 3300 mAh battery. Is it even possible to do?
Is there a better battery app I can use? Let me know...Thanks.

This app is giving you an estimate based on what it thinks your battery is charged to. Because dash charging is different and the battery itself doesn't process its own energy because the wall adapter does, the reported capacity will always be off calibration. Its the same way with my phone on a software based mAh tracker. With my battery tester i have in my garage my capacity is reported as 3300 but my actual capacity is 3221 due to the battery wear. This is my OP5 btw not the 5T.

If your battery life starts declining significantly such as losing 45 minutes to an hour or around a 8-10% overall idle drain in 24 hours u might have a faulty battery.

It does last all day, however, I just don't seem to be getting the SOT numbers that others here are claiming to get. Also, I had a 64gb that I returned for the 128gb version and the first phone seemed to score better on the AccuBattery app than the 128gb version, which leads me to believe there is an inferior battery in the 128gb version.
It's advertised as 4300 mah however most of the battery apps are reporting it as 4170 mah. I was curious and went into Settings ->About phone -> Battery information and there's a note mentioning something about 4170 mah. Is Samsung using false advertising ?
Not false advertising, read the text

I have a pixel 3xl and Google advertised the battery capacity as 3,430mah and all the battery apps are showing the same capacity. Whereas the note is advertised as 4300mah, while all battery apps are reporting as 4170mah.. So regardless of the explanation Samsung put in the settings, I think they are doing false advertisement imo!

No you are missing the point - they are saying the average rated capacity is 4300mAh, but they are choosing to show it as 4170mAh for full disclosure. Other manufacturers are just quoting the average rated mAh, while Samsung are going further and also quoting their minimum rated mAh that can be expected.
Maybe it is a safety margin as you never want to fully deplete any lithium class battery. Protecting us from ourselves?

I'm pretty sure the point here is that Samsung is using big bold numbers on it's own website claiming this is a 4300mah battery. If you have to look for the fine print to get to the lesser truth, it's false advertising.
Since the s8 series, Samsung has limited the maximum charge at the hardware level to about 80%. You don't see it because the stock firmware hides it, displaying 100 instead of 80. However, if you flash another ROM or firmware which doesn't mask it you'll see it limited to 80%.
This is partly how they are getting "longer life" batteries while marketing the s8. Also, you cannot override this. It is a hard limit in the hardware itself.
Yes, it is a 4300mah battery.

You're absolutely right. This looks very like false advertising. It was the same for the note 9 and the S10+. Whatever explanation they try to display, when you said 4300mah, it should be 4300mah.

Lol, that 80% was from if you rooted cause it had to use some sort of engineering kernel it locked it to 80%. I know as I had s8+ and was rooted and was there the whole ride. They assumed people wouldn't use it if battery charge was locked lower was the assumption.

That 80% was because the rooted firmware did not mask it like the stock does. All the phones since the s8 limit to 80% in hardware that is how they achieved the longer life claims.
The fact the battery is being reported lower than 4300 is a dead give away they are limiting it to about 80% capacity.
Yup it's masked, I just checked against another app
80% of 4300 is 3440, not 4170.

By the way it's not false advertising. Again, read the fine print. 4300 is the TYPICAL battery size. It says the typical battery size is the average of the battery sizes, and 4170 is the minimum. Means you're could be 4170. Could be 4300. Could be 4500. It's a manufacturing tolerance.
Let's say the average adult male is 5'9", so I tell you the typical adult male driver of any automobile is 5'9". Does that make me a liar when a guy 5'6" tall pulls up in a 1996 Chevy Lumina?

If only battery capacities were measured in a linear fashion. They are not.

But I only think in a linear fashion.
I read through the replies. I see people say that 4300mAh is the average level, and 4170mAh is the lower boundary of some sort of confidence interval of the battery capacity. Then I am also unlucky since I see 4170 on my 10+ in third party apps. My question is that if too many people see the minimum numbers on their phones, stating that the average capacity is 4300 would be a false advertising.
AccuBattery's estimated battery size fluctuates between 4202 and 4187mah on my note10+ so far. minimum of 4170mah is correct.

No it would not be false advertising. You have a 4300mah battery in the phone. What a third party app says is irrelevant, they are incapable of testing the actual capacity of the battery. And as I said before, the battery is only being charged to ~80% which also throws off accuracy of these apps.
Hey, I bought Samsung F62 and I am getting paranoid if there is some issue with my battery
1) Can someone try to install this program
Device Info HW - Apps on Google Play
Hardware and software information app for Android devices.
play.google.com
2) turn on the "Use 'charged up to'" option from the settings
3) Restart the APP
4) Go to battery section and check for the "Charged up to" value(after the / (eg if value is 2000/6100 I need 6100))
I am getting ~6100 mAh
which is wayyyyy... lower than advertised 7000 mAh
Thank you so much for your help!
Don't concern yourself.
It's not uncommon for new batteries to show similar results.
When SOT drops to roughly 80% of it's original capacity, replace the battery.
At this point it's considered degraded and needs replacing before it fails. A battery failure can severely damage a phone with little or no warning.
A degraded cell is much more likely to fail.
Any battery swelling is a failure.
I have 2 Note 10+'s and their batteries are supposedly difficult to replace. Not so.
The right tools and techniques make it a relatively simple task. Look at a tear down vid for that model to see how tough it is or isn't.

Thank you for your reply
I just bought the Samsung F62 and if there is a battery issue I can get it replaced right away, thats why I want to be 100% sure tht I didnt get a defective battery from the get go.

You're welcome.
Likely not.
If you're getting good SOT I would not worry.
Not knowing it's nominal power usage makes it hard to gauge though.
If it's not running warm it should get good SOT otherwise it may be the battery.
Concersely if running warm than obviously it's using a lot of battery which explains the lower SOT.
Regardless the replacement probably isn't going to be a big deal.
So enjoy the device
Do a Screen Test to check the display.
Check the sensors etc with the app DevChek.

I dont think my battery life is as good as it should have been...
I had Poco X3(6000mAh) previously which had better battery life than my current F62.
Can you check out the values in the app I mentioned. It will be a great help. Thanks
Btw I am not the creator of that app and that app doesnt even have adverts so I am not gaining anything except release from my paranoia.

Just checked.
I have 1757/6277.
I have rooted Samsung F62. Let me know, if you need anything else.

Also wear is wayyyy... more than what its supposed to be
yess sadly
How many years does Samsung support their phones with spare batteries when you eventually need to replace it or do they expect us to just chuck their latest and greatest phone out and buy a new phone every 2 years, rinse and repeat?
Out of curiosity for everybody that has already rooted are you able to check the following:
1. Possible to disable the power hungry Mongoose cores completely? This is a major source of power drain when not gaming
2. What are the default cpu and gpu governors and their respective governor tunable settings? Please post screenshots from a kernel manager
3. Can you disable schedUtil governor and allow cores to be switched off keeping only the power sipping A55 cores on?
4. How much is your active drain per hour? 10-15%/hour and standby drain per hour? Losing 5-10% every night or do you use greenify etc?
5. Please post your battery usage stats with general use SOT you achieve using GSam or Better Battery Stats which shows deep sleep stats
I have rooted Samsung F62. Let me know, if you need anything else.
