Hi.
I have bought mugen 3200 battery for my sg2 to replace my samsungs 2000mah extended battery.
I have charged it for 8-12 hours for few days, as described in their user manual, but somehow i'm not getting "REAL" capacity from it.
i'm using Resurrection remix 2.7 with siyah kernel 4.1.5.
i have tried mugen calibration app, but i dont think it does anything...
i have tried to do the "RESET BATTERY GAUGE" in extweaks, perhaps it will recalibrate again, but as far as i can see, i do not get the real battery presentege.
battery is draining just the same as my Samsung's 2000mah battery.
is something wrong with the battery? the phone? kernel? rom? with me?
thanks.

Hello folks..
I have a HTC Desire CDMA and I bought a Extended battery (3500 mAh to be exact) and this battery lasts just about as long as my normal battery does. It is thick enough to be 3 of my regular batteries, and it is alot heavier, so i know it wasnt a scam, plus there was good reviews... but, The only difference that I get with this extended battery, is that it stays at 100% for about 3 hours, and then starts booming down the charts on battery level.. I mean, i normally have about 25% at the end of the day with this extended battery, but i figure that it should atleast last 2 days on a full charge.... with it being 3500 mAh.. I mean, wow... Can someone help me? Im using a trusted stable battery saving kernel and rom.. so I know that's not the problem..
bump.........?

Do you have a custom rom? Try to download SpareParts from the market and unplug the charger when it says "charged". For my Samsung i5500 and a cyanogen rom the phone says "charged" a lot of time before the real charge...i think that the batterystats file isn't calibrated on your new battery, and so it says charged before...if you have a custom rom i think it's useful (if not necessary) to do a battery ricalibration (i.e charge the phone until the 100% then wipe the battery stats via recovery and then let the phone discharge until the 0%)
I don't know if this will help you, i hope!
I think
When i go back home tomorrow and pick up my extended battery, i will try this. thanks.
edit: yes i have a custom rom. it's oxygen.
I never have really understood battery stats. I figure they must be some matrix of voltages and time, so the phone can say "X voltage = Y% battery left".
And I just flashed to the new stock Samsung ICS ROM, today was my first day, and I notice that I'm getting about 6-7 hours less battery life, which is pretty extreme.
I've got two Chichitec 2000mah batteries and a stock 1800mah battery. I haven't had any need to swap batteries before - but if battery life is going to be this terrible, I may have to.
So what are the consequences of swapping batteries? How does it impact your battery stats if your battery dies by say, 8pm, and you swap in a fresh battery to keep going for the rest of the day?

To make it simple.. I know they say give it a few cycles of charging and that it could possibly get better.. Also try installing badass battery monitor too see what's eating your battery
And swapping batteries.. It doesn't impact anything to my understanding.. I've read on XDA and known numerous people who swap batteries and never mentioned any consequences
Hello all,
Just a quick question, I ordered a new battery the other day (2450 mAh) and it only charges to 80% before saying it is full. I'm sure that even though I'm on stock kernel I should be able to run a larger battery, so I'm assuming the battery is faulty.
Could anybody give me clarification on the biggest battery size you can run on stock kernel?

Do a battery calibration, google it.
I lot of the 'unbranded' batteries with optimistic power capacities have no regulations around what they state the 'real' usable mAh life of the battery is.
I'd be very surprised if the battery gives you longer usage than your original 1700mAh battery.
I'm guessing it'll probably be considerably less.
There is no limit to battery capacity within the limits of what you can physically fit into the recess provided for the BA900 battery.
Mugen Power can only get a 1900mAh battery in that size... so that's something to consider when you think about a 2450mAh battery.
Does anyone tried a different battery capacity? I found a 3000 mAh on ebay, did anyone tried it?
Do you think is harmful?
Thank you in advance
Is this battery built by HTC was is a third-party battery that is working with HTC?
It isn't a HTC battery, is a spare with more capacity, but I don't know if it's harmful or not, I didn't found anything in internet about it...
I don't think the battery capacity will harm the phone, maybe just the battery will hold longer or not, depends on it's quality.
The point is: does the actual stock battery has a fix number of cycles or whatever? The actual battery has 2850 mah capacity, the new one 3000...the difference of 150 mah will be recognized by the mobile? This is my concern..

The phone will charge and discharge the extra 150mAh but the correct capacity will not be reported by software.
Anyway 2850 vs 3000 is a little change, and if the battery quality is lower than HTC original battery maybe you'll not see any difference or maybe the battery will hold shorter.

From what i've seen on the Galaxy Gear S forums, somebody fitted a bigger battery inside and it worked just fine.
And his watch now lasts a few more days.
Anyway, for 150mAh more is simply not worth the risk.
Hi.
My name is Andre.
I have an xperia play that I've been using as a pocket emulator for years.
I have the NexPlay Rom installed, as well the recommended LuPuS CM9 Kernel and .58 Enhanced firmware.
Recently I bought one of these 4500 mAh battery and back cover from ebay.
The original charge it came with lasted a good while so I really believe this is not a fake battery.
But I can't get the phone to recognize the new battery capacity and charge it. The phone seems to only charge it up to the original 1500 mAh.
I've added the following line to build.prop (the line wasn't present) through the BuildProp Editor app:
ro.semc.batt.capacity=4500
But even after clearing the cache, davik cache and resetting the battery stats, I see no changes.
Can anyone help? I'd really appreciate it.
sorry i cant help, but a 4500mah battery sound nice, when i had the xplay i had a 2450 mah and worked fine, the only problem is it decayed its capacity very very quickly

Thanks anyway.
Since my original post I've done more reading, searching and testing.
Turns out there is nothing functionally wrong with the phone, other than it still thinking the battery is 1500 mah for battery duration calculations.
The charge percentage is correct, and the phone is charging the battery until it reaches a voltage of 4.2, which means it's full.
It's the battery itself that is only taking in about 2800 mah. The seller said he would send me another one.
