1800mAh Battery

I just found a 1800mAh battery on ebay.
http://cgi.ebay.ca/BA750-1800mAh-Ba...218652?pt=PDA_Accessories&hash=item3cb7d4dd9c
I also know that Mugen Power has 1700mAh battery, but I never been Lithium-ion batteries. Thus, I thought to try this one. Anyone else also bought this battery?
or is it just fraud?

Very hard to believe, specially with that sort of price tag !!!

So this thing fits in the normal case?
This looks fantastic. I've been waiting for a normal sized battery with higher capacity
Edit: Although, look at the official SE product page:
http://www.sonyericsson.com/cws/products/accessories/overview/ba750?cc=gb&lc=en#view=overview
Same model number and everything and it's only the 1500 one. Not sure about this :s

just found this one as well and its a very low price for a battery very suspect indeed any one actually got one ? http://www.amazon.co.uk/Gadget-Giant-Ericsson-Capacity-Battery/dp/B0057R4Q9C would like to know if these truly exist.

The seller on ebay has selled 73 Pieces :O
Do you think that is the original ba750 with 1800mah

At those prices, I doubt it's original. Moreover, a lot of people fall for such scams because of the price but LOL, in the end, they do add up and make a lot of money for the conman
What I've learnt is that if something seems too good to be true, you're probably right.

Obviously not because BA750 batteries are 1500mAh.

2 things never to buy on ebay: sd cards and batteries.

I have the Mugen 1800 mAh battery for my X10, I just purchased a new ARC .. Will the 1800 Mah X10 battery work in the ARC? I don't believe so, but has anyone checked if the X10 battery works in the ARC ?

Completely different batteries, so they wouldn't be cross-compatible.
The X10 uses a BST-41, the Arc a BA750.
They're actually a different shape, if you've got bot handsets it should be glaringly obvious they're not interchangeable.

I bought this battery as my backup battery; well, travel a lot and have lots of fun with my arc pretty much.
I will let you guys know if it's good or worst than original one. I barely can expect same quality as original one. but we will see!!!!

Excellent thank you!

I've just recently ordered a 1800 mAh High capacity battery for my arc from Malaysia for about 25 bucks I hope it's the real deal will just have to wait and see .

Hay,

This? Somebody has an opinion?
Another link, same battery:
http://www.obostore.com/1800mah-and...ida+Spare+Battery+for+Sony+Ericsson+Arc+LT15i
Thank you the answer

I ordered the battery from obostore and I would say it's a good standby battery to have.
Battery can precharged 60%.
Charge to full and stream video off my nas with full brightness and was able to last 2 hours 45 mins before it shut down with 33% left.
2nd charge and again stream video like above and was able to last 3 hours and 20mins before it shut down with 21% left.
Now is my 3rd charge and will use it as per normal and monitor it's durability.
Btw, battery temperature doesn't reflect correctly as well. Will post more update....

Ecell Gold Battery 2680 Mah BA750..!! Is it real ??

Guys, I found a seller on ebay india selling a ecell Gold battery of 2680 Mah capacity and it's not even so thick like other high capacity batteries!!
The following is the link:
http://www.ebay.in/itm/Ecell-GOLD-2...?pt=IN_Mobile_Accessories&hash=item3f1c9344fa
I wanted to know if this is for real or some scamster company manufacturing cheap unhealthy batteries....

If you search google, you will know they are fake! Just divide the figure by 2 and it is about right! If it is not expensive, you can try one, it won't explode if used properly!!!!

Momax 2700mAh isn't fake. The thing with those batteries is wrong reading, on Momax you stay on 0% for hours and don't know how much is left but it's still double length battery life.

A simple Kernel patch can solve the wrong reading (need unlock bootloader and custom kernel). I allready had done this before for testing purposes.

Oh, I thought it didn't work .

most definitely fake. I purchased one of these before and they were exactly the same as the one that came with the phone

Keep in mind that 99% of aftermarket batteries are Li-Ion, whereas the original battery that comes with the phone is Li-Po.
If you're looking for a Li-Ion replacement battery, you'd want to get one that's higher than 1500mAh as to get a comparable/better battery life compared to the original battery.
With these super high capacity batteries, as stated, you'd need a kernel patch and/or battery recalibration to really get the most out of them. I haven't done this with the Arc (yet), but I have with my previous phones. If you're willing to give up the thin-ness of the Arc, you could potentially have a really decent long-range media device (etc).

Try checking ecell reviews over Amazon, they have very few buyers and ratings varies with each product..
I once bought a smartphone cover from e_cell on ebay, then i found a much cheaper alternative of the exact same case from chinese seller on ebay and dealextreme. I believe these batteries are generic and probably the dudes over e_cell just import chinese toys and sell them at a higher pricetag.. If not mistaken, i think i bought some replacement battery from e_cell for my psp slim, the results does not reflect the printings on the battery at all.

Can you provide this kernel and the patch so other people can experience battery craziness

I have the battery which i bought from amazon and it works really good.

Yes, it is real. I have a BA700 which is 2430mAh (for Xperia Pro). I bought it from ebay.

[Q]Whats the best Battery for the Xperia Arc S?

Hey
Since the stock battery of the Xperia Arc S lasts just like ~8 hours for me, im looking for a better one
Are there any better batterys,which also fit into the stock case , which you guys can recommend me for me?
Also how expensive/cheap will that be?
Sorry for my english, im not a native speaker

Please use the stock battery, if you need more just purchase a portable charger. Cannot guarantee that other battery will not explode or malfunction so use original battery only.

Mugen Power Batteries are known to be quality ones. Though keep in mind, the battery gauge will not function properly with extended battery, because the stock battery capacity is hardcoded in kernel and no working solution to that hasn't been found yet.
The battery will just go from 100% to 1% (real capacity 100% to 50%), then it will stay on 1% until battery is empty for real. There have been claims, that reboot resets battery to 50% if the real capacity is also 50%, though it depends on the battery and your usage.

hardcoded capacity
I think the hardcoded capacity wont be a problem for me since im using a custom kernel ;D
Also im not able to find any mugen battery for the arc s, could you link me to one?

http://mugen.co/sony-ericsson/sony-...rc-lt15i-docomo-so-01c-with-battery-door.html
And just having a custom kernel won't help.

I've heard alot of good stuff about Mugen powers 4000mAh battery for Arc S but I haven't tried it out myself. It's quite expensive, but I guess it's worth it.

A custom kernel will definitely help, but you have to sync sources yourself and then change a file which sets the battery capacity and then compile.

What I meant (badly phrased ), was that just grabbing a custom kernel from development section will not help.
One has to download the kernel sources, do the required modifications to the battery gauge and then test it.
User iridaki has tried that, so you might want to check this topic as well - http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1521597

Don't be greedy... You either take longer battery life or a phone with "beauty".

xperia s battery

first of all sorry for my bad english
im here going to ask that did xperia s battery size is same as xperia sl ?
and i checked online that the battery capacity is 1750mah
but most of all online e-store like ebay show most of the xperia s /sl battery with battery capacity of 1700mah
so im here going to ask that is that alright if i replace the battery with the new battery (1700mah)?
what i want to meantion here is i nvr try to disassembly my phone before and i plan to replace the battery myself
and im still new in this section need more guide from you all
i am a xperia SL LT26ii user

Xperia s and sl are the same
The xperia s battery is 1750mah but an xperia s system has the battery to charge only upto 1500
This means that xperia s parts should fit perfectly in the SL as they use the same parts
Its just the system and kernel which says what can do what
side info
Xperia s/sl battery is 1750mah
Putting a 1700 battery instead of a 1750 will make the battery burn out after some use

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!
But in extremecells there is no battery for my xperia ion

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!

Any body can help me
Kindly send me a full high resolution picture of xperia s lt 26i motherhood
Thanks

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.
