Hey guys,
I just received my Arc S. I had the Arc a couple of times and the Arc S once. All of them came with the battery capacity 1500mAh. The one I got with my Arc S is 1460mAh. Are there 2 different sizes or did the store make a mistake? I called Sony Ericsson and they told me they only have one size for the Arc/S and that's 1500mAh. I noticed as soon as my phone was fully charged, it dropped to 95% in a matter of seconds.
Any help is greatly appreciated.
Thanks
Well, all are of 1500mAh capacity only.. Its very strange that you had a different one.. Stock firmware drains battery quickly.. Try using a battery saver app n go to About phone-battery status to check what apps are using the battery.

I thought it was 1500mAh as well. I'm going to call them tomorrow and inquire about the battery. I know it's not a huge difference in size. But the battery life on the Arc S is bad enough as it is. If this is the wrong battery for the phone, they should send me the right one.
What battery saver app do you recommend?

Fully drain your battery, then charge it to 100% without any interruption and also without turning on the phone. This will calibrate your battery. Report after doing these steps.
Well try the calibration steps as reported, if not comfortable then try Juice defender from Google play.
I will try the calibration steps as recommended. But if it doesn't improve on battery life, shouldn't I file a complaint with Amazon that the battery they sent me is not the right one? Again, even Sony Ericsson said they only ship out 1500mAh batteries for the North American models. The one I have is the LTI8a.
Post the results, we will look into it for one more time before reporting as battery draining is a common problem among users.
Hopefully the calibration should solve the problem!
Can you post a picture of the battery? It should look like this

The model # of the battery is the same, but the mAh capacity is not.
Here's a couple of pics. Sorry if they didn't come out clearly. I used my N95.
I called Sony Ericsson again and they told me they never issued a battery of that capacity. They told me if something goes wrong with my phone, the battery will void my warranty because they believe it's a fake. They advised me to exchange the phone for another one and to make sure I get a 1500mAh battery. I have been having issues with the phone as well. My guess is if it is a fake battery that could cause issues for the phone to operate properly. I'm waiting for Amazon to issue a RMA for me.
Thanks for all your help.
Then that should be your way to go!
Have a replacement soon!
Yes and I hope they send me the right battery this time!
I have 2 original battery for my arc...
first battery(come from the phone) is 1500mAh (prod. date is 2011, around july)
second battery (stealed from another arc (not me stealed it, but the shop like to take the original battery, and sell it) is 1460mAh (prod code 2012, feb)
maybe the 2011 model is 1500 mah (typical)
the 2012 model is 1460 (minimum)
both of them gives me around 8 hours to empty (2 hours music, data traffic on, 2 push email, twitter, fb push notification, and 1 hours browsing, 15 - 30 minute playing games)
almost all rechargeable battery write the detail about typical and minimum,
eg. Sanyo AA rechargable -> Typical 2700mAh, minimum 2500 mAh
so, the 1500mah and 1460 mah battery is same
Sony Ericsson Canada does not support the 1460mAh battery. They said it is possible it's an International model that came with that battery capacity. Having said that, SE Canada will not honor the warranty on the Arc if it didn't come with the usual 1500mAh battery. I'm not going to take that risk and they advised me not to.

Andida Battery it kills my beloved SGS2. Guys Please be careful and do not buy this battery
I was happy today when, I received Andida Battery. I took out my back cover and I installed the battery. I tried to turn on my phone but it did not start. So I taught that the battery must be empty, so I plugged my charger to charge the battery. But it failed to charge. I installed original Samsung battery back, but the phone did not start at all. I was so facking annoyed. I went to Samsung Service Center, I told them my phone suddenly stopped working, without mentioning the cause of damage. They checked the phone, it took them two hours, then the technician called me and he said that the battery sensor indicator chip is damaged in the main-board and need to be replaced. He said they will order the part from Korea and it will take around 2 weeks to arrival at least. I was happy that they will fix my phone under warranty.
Edited :- Real photo of the Andida Battery 2000mAh uploaded. I was so upset and not in mood to take a photo of Andida Battery I own. I google it fast and attached it on my post that why in the photo it stated 1450 mA and For Oppo a100.

OH Man. Seem like this battery does coz hardware damage in most SGS2 when installed. I think battery sensor indicator chip is actually the chip which indicate battery status level. thats why your battery stats get screwed up.
Why do you say is an 2000mA battery when on the blister clearly states that's a 1450 mA one (even less than the original). ?
I don't get it. I only see "For Oppo a100" from the pic. Is there state anywhere its for I9100?
And the Chinese in one of the label stated the battery is insured, maybe U can claim them some money.

I really hope it doesn't spoil my phone though... I rooted it so chances are there's no warranty if I bring to the CSC. I don't really use the Andida battery often anyway. It simply serves as a backup.

Hi,
I had the same issue with mine but i hotswapped that batteries around. i.e. andida to samsung back to andida and it started to work again.
at the moment i have the andida one in my phone but try swapping it around and see if there is any issues.
Q) would your phone still be covered if my phone was rooted with custom rom?
PS: and i bought two of these one for me and one for my nephew.

hi there the spider-foot battery is safe. been using it as my main battery and no problems or whatsoever since 3 weeks ago
Have been using this battery for awhile. No major issue with it. Just that while stating 2000mAH, it's not really performing better than the stock battery. Worse performing actually.
Avg after a day's use ( light usage ), the Andida's remained only abt 50%-60% juice, while the stock can still retain abt 80%.
Another quirk for Andida, after charging to 100%, when I pulled out from the charger, it'll occasionally drop to 97% immediately.
Well, can't expect it to be better since it's so cheap anyway. At least it didn't blew up on me lolz. Nevertheless, had been using the stock battery since it performed better. This Andida is just a backup for me now.
Btw, TS, just curious, did u pull out the thin film that covers the metallic contact points? I read that some pple forgot to remove this film, and they thought the battery is a lemon =p.
the only one i can rely on is the original samsung extended battery (2000mAh). It's a little bit fatter (1mm more) but great!

Hello
Anyone knows it "Mugen Battery's for Samsung" have battery's fits our SGW?
I was looking for something like 1800/2000 or more, as long as i don't need to change the battery cover.
"mugen-power-batteries.com/samsung"
They have 1600, 1700, 1800, 2000 for Samsung but i don't know if they work in our phone.
If you have other suggestions please share ;D

Fits our phone and is 1900mah

Hey Vyker,
i read somewhere in the forum that "ultra cheap" chinese battery ar actually fakes..
They have a sticker for 1900mah and they are really 1000mah...
How long have you being using that? can you put a pic with your best graph of the battery usage?
Ok guys,
So then this supposed 1900mah battery. I've noticed a clear difference in battery life since I put it in.
Here are some battery screen shots

And the chart...
These were taken at 45%.
I've used the phone as much as I would on any normal day.
Charging is fine and standard not faster not slower.
I don't expect to be lied to about what is actually in the battery when buying, so I have to take it for granted that the battery is in fact 1900mah. Though I do understand that there is a chance the battery is a fake. At £8 it's a no brainer.
All in all, I recommend the battery.

I can imagine this might be the case if you spend most of your time in a location that has a good wireless signal but a crappy mobile data signal => with wireless enabled, the 3G radio won't keep wasting battery life by trying to connect.
Similarly, if you leave wireless enabled when you're not connected to a wireless network, it will drain your battery because it keeps scanning all the time in the background.
That's my understanding anyway...
I can relate to the concept, it's my understanding too
Any how with 36% still left to go this is what the chart looks like now...
Staggering difference between the two days....
Id still recommend this battery however.... I get more than I did on stock
Sent from my GT-I8150 using XDA App
My battery (Stock) is doing around 2 days.
I don't play that much, an i have almost everything off during the night (sleep time).
i think that wireless is a big battery killer if you have it enable but not connected.
If its connected (not searching) doesn't make a big difference on the overall consumption.
On the first night of my battery cycle,
i have around 15 to 16 hours and around 62% left
on the next morning i have 3% to 5% less so i do a full day (24h) on around 55%
i end up on 15% to 10% on the following night (1 day, 16 hours) and around 5% to 7% on the next morning (2 days)
I think it all depends on what you do and what you have on... overall i think the stock is ok, but i would prefer having one a bit bigger (1800 +)
Anyway ty for the input m8
Oxyfly, sounds like you may not use the phone as much as others.
The battery I bought is not the one in the topic title - to confuse matters
It is a 1900mah battery.

After 3,5 hours of use (some Wifi/phonecalls) still on 100%!!! No way with stock LG battery... nice one.
Edit: 5,5 hours... still on 100%, more than weird but i like it!
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?
I plan on buying this battery from ebay on Friday

Battery 飞普斯 (Feipusi) 2300mAh Li-ion for P930/LU6200/SU640
Just bought one of these on chinese Taobao.com and it really improve batterylife! Also good quality, not crappy and without the feeling that it may blow up someday.
Good thing is, same size like original battery because i dont like the look and feel with the 3000+ mAh batteries.

I just bought this battery. I'll wipe the battery stats as soon as I get it and charge it to a 100%. How long did it take it to arrive for you? I live in the US
Battery seems to be draining slightly faster than stock for me... not sure why. On cm9 w/ ho!no! v5 kernel. The better feels a little better than the 1900mhz batteries from ebay i've tried. phone just sucks w/ battery life...
Woot woot! My battery just came in the mail today - Charging it to 100% as I type now
My battery is running out after 2 years and more usage. What is an excellent replacement for desire Z/G2 battery?
Thanks
Anker 1600 mAh. Have been using it over 6 months now. Easily keeps my phone up at least 30% more than stock battery.

I bought a HTC original battery from eBay for the Incredible S for about 8 EUR. It's the same battery as ours, only with more capacity, 1450mah.
I also had an old battery, at least two years old. The new one's performance is incredible, almost two days with medium usage. Using Gen.Y VisionX R3.

I plan on picking up a new battery soon, recently the phone has been randomly rebooting. I read this might be a battery issue, so a fresher, longer battery life can't hurt.

I've found that the problem with random reboots are the battery contacts. Try reinserting the battery a few times.
I'm using a Mugen 1800mAh, best money I ever spent on my DZ. Running a nice stable and optimized ROM I was getting over 40 hours battery life which was amazing with my usage patterns. It still fits into the phone using the standard rear cover also.

I got myself an anker 1600 on eBay
Can't wait to try it. Hopefully this fixes my random rebooting. Can anyone report back if the new battery fixed this problem?
UPDATE: IT fixed my random rebooting! my phone works great now. no problems what so ever. best money i ever spent

Good to know, thanks for sharing!
There are so many crappy "high-capacity" batteries coming from china... We don't know who to trust.
Thanks!
Hey guys, just bought an Ankers 1600mAh battery, does anyone know a good procedure for replacing batteries? And I don't mean take the back off... :silly: Do you suggest I do a full charge, wipe battery stats, replace? What are your thoughts? Thanks very much
HERE ARE SOME GOOD TIPS
personally i charge full the first run (overnight) then reboot in the am and drain to around 10% reboot and charge full overnight and reboot in am. then use it like always.
this is just what i have done for years and many will tell you there is no need to train any lithium based batteries... but it works for me so this is how i do it
most will also say that wiping battery stats wont help as they are cleared on a reboot but i do find myself doing it anyway (i have lots of pointless habits i guess)
I run galilio evo4 2000 mah for more than a year.
I run a capacity test, I got around 1600 mah for both battery after about a year of use. Witch is very good.
I got 2 batteries and a charger for 20 $.
Do the rotation of oem and those galilio to keep them in shape.
