[Q] Ecell - GOLD 2430MAH BATTERY FOR SONY ERICSSON XPERIA PLAY

Has anyone tried this Ecell 2430MAH battery ?
http://www.amazon.co.uk/Ecell-2430M...5?s=electronics&ie=UTF8&qid=1326647685&sr=1-5
Still not even lasting a day with the stock battery. (GTmax one was better).
If this is junk think I will just get the 1800 Mugen Power one.
(I think the performance of the stock battery is horrendous - perhaps I was defrauded by shop I bought it from (One of the staff needed a new one so swapped theirs for mine etc. Never buy from Dial A Phone).

This was posted on my thread for the 2600mha battery. From what I make if it stay away from ecell. Here is the link. This is not from me but from another user on xda. I am simply pasting the link he provided.

I bought a case for my Xperia play from them and it's seriously the best £2.50 I've spent in a long time. I've tried 4 cases ranging from the obscenely expensive to the acceptably cheap and their case is by far the best. Easy clip on, easy take off (though it wont ever come off by accident) and it feels/looks very nice.
Cannot recommend it enough, especially after seeing all the negative reviews for every other case in existence for the play.
HOWEVER - this was my first experience buying from Ecell and all was well and good. Unfortunately, hundreds other people have had DREADFUL experiences with them, ranging from fake sd cards to tampered/used/busted phones being delivered and even negligence towards contemporary buyer/seller code and morals.
http://fotios.org/node/2173
I suggest you visit that link and consider carefully before purchasing the battery. I too was thinking of buying that battery but was turned off by the comments in that link.
If you do decide to buy it, let me know if it's worth it please!
EDIT: LOL jgregoryj1 beat me to it

E-Cell are a bit hit and miss, had some good and bad experiences with them, Looked at that exact battery for my play but just looks too good to be true in my opinion
Brought a case from them and it arrived in 2 days. Great case for the play too
But then again once brought a Motorola Milestone from them which took 3 weeks to arrive and came all in chinese. So like I said, the companies very hit and miss. So you take the chance with anything you buy with them
Saying that, Unlike some other people, I think the stock battery on the play is bloody marvellous. Really appreciate it after the crappy 1230mAH battery I had in my last phone - the HD7. You were lucky to get half a day out of that.

I agree. I love the battery on mine. I can get a full day using whatever I want on whatever brightness I want, using whatever connection utility i want and still have some left over by the time I get to bed. I use tunein radio on it when I go to sleep so it's plugged in all night anyway!

yeah i actually found this link "http://fotios.org/node/2173" whilst looking for other vendors selling that battery after i saw the posts about it in the battery thread. They seem fine with cheap items and bad with anything +100 dollars from what people are saying on that forum.
I ended up getting the mugen 3600 myself, but i thought id post up the link so people here could make their own informed decisions, if anyone does buy it, please post and let us know how it goes, i think alot of people would be keen for a bigger stock battery at that bargain price(if it works).
seems like a gold phone bomb atm to me though

and what do you mean....is there really an improvement of 830mha to the stock batterie?
I also got an gold ecell batterie for my "old" lg optimus speed.
I think i saw an improvement of the battery (1500 mhA Stock to 2430 mhA from Ecell)....
The improvement was ~15-20 % more power i think.

I just bought this 3600 mAh battery off of eBay (http://www.ebay.com/itm/400280170439?ssPageName=STRK:MEWNX:IT&_trksid=p3984.m1439.l2649#ht_2866wt_1139). Does anyone think it's not a good battery?

Nice, and it has an extended cover. I heard I other threads that there wasn't a extended cover. Anyone here tried the e-cell 3600mAh and the cover? Also, is the mAh increase picked up by the phone automatically, or will I have to tweak a build prop?

I have a gt max (?) 3600mah battery and the phone seems to pick up the battery capacity with no problem. Of course, your experience may differ from mine due to differences in batteries.

i have also an 3600mha battery for my r800i and the duration icreased to about 50%.
The extended cover is really nice and fits perfectly. the only problem with the extended cover is, that it squeaks.
The extended cover also improve the gameplay with the xperia play because with the thicker back you can play really good with the gamepad.

Even if it doesn't, small price for a spare battery
Try browsing through the ebay feedback for that seller.

I bought this one and it definitely has extended the battery life for me, I can go a whole day of whatsapping and calling my gf without having to charge it at work....

i bought a "2430 mAh" battery from a hong kongese ebay seller and it definitely is not better than the original 1600 mAh, but it only cost 8 euro so whatever...

I had a 1950mha battery in the same size as the stock battery... nothing but bad luck. Phone was on crack. Glitchey and lagging. Then I read that you can cram a higher mha battery inside a stock battery for a phone per se. But then what happens is the battery gets hotter (which that one did) and with the additional heat comes a faster discharge rate, and a overall shorter life span of the battery as it cant stay cool. And with the higher heat will also make your phone hotter

Anyone tried the 2300mAh ebay battery, yet? At $11, I almost want to risk it, but I'd really like to know if anyone else has had experience with it, first. The one I'm currently looking at is eBay item 300832163583 (I'm too new to be able to post links).

Umm... Maybe. It doesn't say "Gold Battery," but it says "Golden Standby Battery."
Apparently, it's made by a Hong Kong company called Kinps. It's very prominently branded, at least in the picture.

Alright, well that makes me feel not quite as uneasy about trying it out. I looked at the ebay feedback, and I only saw a few negatives for the battery as opposed to ten or so positives, so it might be okay.
This one doesn't look gold-colored though; it's white, purple, and orange.

I bought these yellow/red-on-white ones and they are very stable and give some juice to my Play (they're rated @ 3600mAh). For me in a cROM like KXP for XPlay with Turbo Kernel JB/ICS r12 lasts around 2 days at normal use, I really pushed these batteries to the limit (and my Play too btw) by overclocking @ 2GHz playing NFS: Most Wanted (this game is very hard on resources and CPU) and they didn't explode lol
I have them since June 2012 and they're in good shape right now.
You can try them if you like. :good:

Oh, no, I really, really don't want the deeper battery cover. First, I'd lose my beautiful, blue AT&T rear cover, and second, I wouldn't be able to use my dock! Well, not without switching back to the stock battery, anyway. And that kind of defeats the purpose of using the dock as my charger.

Eh, I'm starting to reconsider the extended back thing. Yesterday, I managed to pull off a full 24 hours on the stock battery. Today, I've only managed about 12. The difference? Today I had about a two hour session of Chip's Challenge on aLynx, haha. So, I'm pretty much draining half or more of my battery capacity just from a couple hours of Lynx emulation. Even if the battery I'm considering does have a capacity of 2300mah, I'm thinking I'd probably want over 3000mah if I keep up this kind of gaming habit. So, I guess I'm considering the 3500mah battery with extended cover from California, now.
I'll only miss having the back in a matching color a bit, but I really wish I could still use it with my dock. Do you guys think the phone would fit well on the dock with the battery installed if I removed the battery cover first?
EDIT: No, I don't think it would fit on the dock at all. I just tried with my stock battery cover off to see where the battery lines up, and it still comes below the lip on the dock. This is a really tough choice.

Battery Replacement Recommendations

This thing looks reasonably easy to replace the battery.My Mrs who has this phone is complaining about the battery life in her phone. I've seen a few larger capacity batteries which sound like a good idea but I guess there are lots of rubbish ones out there. Any experiences out there?

Highly not recommended to use any other batteries than OEM / Sony. And there a lot of cheap batteries out there which claim to have 2000-2500ma. Also it is not that easy to remove the battery. I have an Acro S and it is sealed tight!

Xperia LT26 Replacment Battery
Firstly, any non-OEM replacement battery for most early Sony Android phones(those I have tested) do not report temperature.
This is not good for a phone that can often run at high temperatures and where apps/system rely on battery temperature for system controls.
Mugen Power has also confirmed to me that their Sony replacement batteries do not provide temperature to the system controls.
You can replace the battery in the Sony Xperia S, but you do need to take some care, that no ribbon cables are damaged in doing so.
The Xperia S is not water resident and doesn't have any 'seals' to contend with when gaining access to the battery.
I have tested a 'cheap' PISEN BA800 1700mAh battery in an Xperia S and it gave comparable performance to the original BA800 1700mAh battery. The overall long term life of the battery could be another story.
There are many replacement batteries for the Xperia S, but I'd stay will clear of any battery claiming 2000mAh and above.
They're cheap for a reason.
I have long speculated (but never tested) that the Mugen Power BA800 1800mAh battery for the Xperia V (LT25) would work in an Xperia S (LT26).
Please do your own research on this, before any purchase.
I would only recommend an original Sony BA800 replacement battery for the Xperia S (LT26).

I have friends who tried to change battery (not on XperiaS) and someone had a fine feedback. But other had many many many problems with temperature, indication on phone and one exploded!!!
Many times i thought to change my battery too, but I don't really trusted to put this change. If you try, please write your feedback!! :good::laugh:

So what do you recommend guys?I really really need a battery,like ASAP!So if someone could please give me an idea of what to search for,or instead gives me a link or something,I would really appreciate it!Thanks!

MPJ has a 2500 mah battery for the xs. It seems to have only positive reviews. I don't know how they managed to squeeze in 2500 mah in the same dimensions as our 1750 unit....

Hey everbody!
This is my first post on xda ever! I'm currently into that topic... I tested one battery a few days ago claiming to have 2680mah capacity! It says something like Gold battery bla bla... Well I DON'T RECOMMEND THIS BATTERY! It has nowhere near that capacity... It is even worse than the original... Right now I have another one from a company called "extremecells". They are making a promise on their homepage saying that if you find another battery of the same size with more real capacity than theirs, they would give you 100€! And that counts for all of their batteries... Well I ordered one 1750mah BA800 battery which I use right now and it is already much much better than the one before... I ordered another one from a site called batteryupgrade.com (or. org or something). There is a battery from Max Power claiming to contain 2100mah! That one is still on its way to me... I will keep you updated on that one when it arrives!
For now I can recommend the battery from extremecells!

i replaced my SL's battery(i believe the model as written on the battery itself is: SP50KERA10) with a OEM BA800 & it's OK so far. No better than the original but not worse either. But I did that cuz I couldnt find an exact repalcement for this in my country. If its the same in your case then u cud try it out.

I tested the battery and just like the other gold one it's garbage. Both fall from around 35% to 1% and then the phone shuts down and the batteries are empty... I put the original back in and downloaded an app called advanced bttery calibrator... it calibrates the battery and then shuts the phone down and wants you to load the battery to 100% while the phone is off... well somehow my phone boots up by itself after a short while... (like 10 minutes). My XS runs Carbon ROM Beta 9 now but had the same problem with cm10 FXP before... I try to go back to stock sony UI now and then I will see if the problem is still there... then I'll keep testing batteries again
Still recommend the extremecells battery or the original

Thank you!

Of course Extremecells doesn't have a replacement battery for your phone, because you can't remove the Sony Xperia Ion battery - it is built in... Btw battery life of your phone is inconsistent, many people are complaining about the battery.

The Xperia S I have is from autumn 2012 and I wonder if someone can make a prediction out of experience how much more battery time one would gain, when a new (original) battery is inserted after all this time of use. I would be satisfied to just have an opinion like
1) you will not have a substantial improvement
2) phone will run longer but only up to 25% more
3) there will be a huge positive effect (like 50% or more)

Another question I have is why I find two original BA800 battery types:
Sony Ericsson 1750mAh
Sony 1700mAh
See attached images. Which one is considered better and are they both original?

My Xperia S (or probably his original battery) is now totally dead. I need to decide if ordering a new battery is worth a try. The original battery is labeled:
SonyEricsson 1253-5636.1 12W17
SP50KERA10
S/N 116...SWSGNS
min. 1700mAh 6.3Wh

If You are from India,I got this battery, it seems to be working fine and lasts nearly a day, as it runs on Lollipop ROM's now. Maybe it will last more on stock ROM. You can use coupons to reduce the price.

I changed the battery of my xperia S few weeks ago after 3 years. The battery life is really improved. I don't able to say the percent value, but before the substitution I will arrive at the evening without battery; now instead i have always 40 % of battery as minimum value.
I also use the phone more respect before beacuse I know that I arrive in any case at the evening so i think that my old battery was really worn!

Well, I don´t know if the Xperia S uses BA900 battery, I have bought the 2500mAh MPJ battery for my Xperia M (BA900 replacement) and the real capacity is approx 2000-2100mAh (20% better than the stock 1700mAh BA900 battery), so I think for Xperia S it would be the same. I have read in most forums, that MPJ are one of the few manufacturers that really have better capacity than stock batteries, but the real capacity improvement is only about 15-20% above the stock batteries, depending on the type.

New Battery for Moto G XT1032

Hi folks,
I have been using Moto G for more than a year and lately i noticed battery is discharging more quickly than before. I am not %100 percent sure of it but it just feels like it. Anyway maybe it is not that essential to change the battery now but i am sure that day will come. I found some batteries on ebay but i want to buy genuine moto g battery.
I couldn't find any info about how to check of genuineness of a moto g battery but maybe somehow you know.
Does any of you change their battery before and how does the battery you bought performed ?
This is the link of how to change battery https://youtu.be/bv5C0axnGIw It looks pretty easy
And here you can find some batteries for moto g on ebay http://ebay.to/1rfB2q5
It would be cool if you can post more links of places that we can buy moto g batteries..
Cheers,

Since it's not user-removable,it's best to go to a service centre to get it replaced.
Most likely it'll be genuine and they'll know the proper way to do this.
Good luck.

It is really easy to remove the battery so it is user-removable. Everything is user removable i am sorry but i hate to depend on others and i don't want to pay extra service fees for easy tasks like that.

Thanks for the links.

I too feel like that battery is degraded a little after 1.5 years of usage and thinking about replacing it. If anyone finds original moto g battery with international shipping let me know. I'll make a video while changing it.

What's the on screen time you all get? I've bought my Moto G 4G second hand and its almost a 1,5 years old. I see that screen on time maximum gets to 4 hours, compared to 5 on the original Moto G I had before.
I'm maybe considering installing a new battery, or otherwise trying a custom ROM to remove some stock Motorola crap.

SOT about 4 hours is not looks abnormal to me, it there running lots of process.
would u plz try slimsaber (5.1.1) once?? if slimsaber gives u leess then 5 hour SOT then might be problem on battery.

. . . Getting an original brand new replacement from eBay can be accomplished quite easily. I have a genuine ED30 unit in my wishlist for just $12´13 at this moment.
. . . Regarding battery lifespan: How to Prolong Lithium-based Batteries
. . . Thenceforth, if you stick to charging your battery up to around 60% of its maximum capacity you obliterate most voltage related stresses, effectively quadruplicating its lifespan. I swear it works (more than nine months doing this with my XT1032 by now).
Cheers

Anyone have a reliable/affordable link for a Canadian? My bettery seems to always jump from 30ish percent down to 20ish percent and SOT has gone down closer to 3-4 on all ROMs rather than the 5-6+ from before.

Mmm…

Sorry if a bit late. Search for "ED30" on eBay, and preferably use the full site (eBay full site on mobile; bookmark it ). I'd stick to the units who specifically claim to be original/from manufacturer accessories (generally $12+).
Cheers :laugh:

use some battery juice saver Apps (Eg. Greenify) $ Check your Wakelocks.. it might help to get some little battery boost..:laugh:

I have one XT1033 and i replaced my battery last year with some battery i bought around 15$ nor sure if it was original piece but it was even worse than my first one which turns off at 15%.

The key problem with online stores is that you do not even have an idea as to what the purchased product looks like and if you do, some counterfeiters can produce good-looking knock-offs. I bought a battery for the LG G3 recently and it performs the same as the one I already have even though it is new. The only clues that will help you with making a purchase is the seller and product reviews.
As for the Moto G (LTE), replacing the battery consists of unscrewing the screws, prying the inner battery panel off, pulling the ribbon connector outwards to disconnect it and pulling the battery away after that, and then reversing the aforementioned instructions, and I am thinking of replacing the battery for the Moto G LTE soon for obvious reasons.

I'm also trying to buy a new battery. Can anybody recommend a website where to get an original one?

Any batteries available for ZF2 with higher capacity?

That would be great! Not just from ASUS but even from a 3rd party vendor.

This does QuickCharge 2.0 in AND out: http://www.amazon.com/Qualcomm-Certified-Aukey-10400mAh-Supported/dp/B00UBDI7EC
It's pretty compact too. I use a lot of Aukey products; at first I thought they were a knockoff Anker but they're just as good.
There's also this one with the same capacity, but it's longer and has two ports and an LED flashlight. So it's basically same capacity, but do you want portability or flexibility.

So it should charge your battery as fast as the ASUS charger.

I am sorry if I cause any confusion, but I meant batteries that go into the phone not power banks like the ones you linked.

Isn't the battery non-removable?

Nothing is ever completely "non-removable", mate.

Easiest solution would be a usb power case, although i haven't seen any for this phone so far.

Changing the battery on this phone is a fairly simple process, especially if you have fixed a phone before. The toughest part is the glue, but a little heat goes a long way. Just fixed the screen and changed the battery on a Mate 2, and I think that's a little more complex than the ZenFone 2. The biggest challenge would be finding a higher capacity battery that the firmware would recognize.....and that would fit.

The only company that I think would make an extended battery for this is ZeroLemon. They are the only ones I've seen to use creative shapes to take advantage of extra room in the Z dimension. The only thing that would stop them from taking it on is plain economics. They would have to see that this phone is not only popular enough, but also enough nerds like us to justify dumping resources into R&D for it.

ZenFone 2 uses a 3.8V 3000 mAh lithium polymer battery, model is C1191424
It can be removed.

Help
Hello, first and most important: "Sorry for my english", anyone knows where to buy the batery C1191424 in case of be necesary?.
Thanks!!!

hello all,
was wondering since, zenfone max has the same dimensions as ZF2 would it be possible to port the 5000 mah battery on to ZF2.
Thnx

i would love to have my battery capacity change too.. if there is anyone that can know about this its asus..

Guys, I had never see replacement battery for non-removable battery products..you can wish for battery-covers but I don't get the point, the phone in already very big and heavy (170 grams are already a lot), if you increase battery (and it's not possible in the original case, maybe only Mugen is able to do this, but I don't think they will produce a battery for a non-removable product) it will will become a brick and you can use it to build your new house Seriously, I think it's better to buy a powerbank (I use the Xiaomi 10400 and it's great). Asus won't release a new battery for this phone, removing the original battery you will void warranty. For me, no chances.

I am considering the zenfone 2 as an option for my next phone. Thing is, i dont like the idea to have after 2-3 Years get rid of the phone because the battery is gone.
I searched the web and didnt find a original or third party replacement battery.
Is that possible? Any Ideass guys?

This should be official Asus parts reseller http://www.asusparts.eu/partfinder/Asus/Mobile/ZenFone/ZenFone 2 ZE551ML#Battery

Hey Marco!
You made my day! :good::highfive:
Thx for the link!!
Greetings from Germany . . .

Doesn't matter if you see the point or think the phone is already too big. I want a battery case much like the ZeroLemon case for the Galaxy Note series. I dont care how big or bulky my phone is, I have huge hands and I would prefer to have a phone that lasts two days instead of one that looks pretty.

I myself have looked for either a bigger battery, or a case, and have found nothing...
Unfortunately the only solution would be to carry a power bank of some sort. I guess the phone isn't that popular .

I purchased mine in AsusParts, took 2-3 weeks cause it ships from Asia to Europe and then to your country, installed and everything works fine ATM.
Before, I tried at AliExpress but they sent the wrong battery, I think Zenfone 5 has the same battery with a different connector (check my thread about screen replacement in Q&A section for more info)

Yeah, I have tried to find something like that without success.
