bought these http://cgi.ebay.ca/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItemVersion&item=260607429319&view=all&tid=0
just got them today, pretty fast shipping, about 8 business days to alberta canada. i had my doubts because of the price, but they fit perfect, have the same specs as my stock battery, and come with a handy wall charger too. so far i have 8 hours on one of them with my regular heavy text usage, some 3g market etc. only at 81%! seems a bit better than my stock battery but that could be placebo, more testing in the following days should prove wether they last as long or longer than stock.
just thought id give you guys a heads up, im happy with the purchase and now i can have 2 spare batteries in case for some reason im not around my car charger or wall charger. also have a crystal gel case on its way, will take pics of it for the other thread when it arrives.
cheers!

just to clarify, in case anyone caught it in the ad....
first picture battery label says li-poly, item description says li-ion. i can confirm they are li-poly technology.
just in case anyone caught that...

Link doesn't work
Can you provide the battery's manufacturer and model number? Even pics would be cool.

so far today usage seems about the same as the SE stock battery, but i did encounter a problem last night. i plugged it in with my SE charger, green charge light comes on, but didnt charge. i didnt notice this until this morning when the phone was off and dead , so i guess they dont charge with the SE charger, but they do however charge very fast in the wall dock that came with them. i also tried using the usb cord from the SE charger with the charger i bought, doesnt charge. im wondering if theres something different with sony's cable, might go pick up a generic micro? i think, usb cable tonight and see if it will charge properly.
anyways, sucks they dont charge with the SE charger but i think it might be because the SE battery has the overcharge protection circuit in the battery? while these batteries dont? just a guess.
ill keep you posted, and i can get pics if you want, but they are EXACTLY as shown in that ad, like, identical.
cheers!

Thanks, interesting, I was mainly looking for a battery charger, I didn't know I can find one for the X10.
Do you knw if you can recharge the original battery or the mugen one with this charger?
The price is pretty cheap I may buy one and see it myself anyway.
my SE battery charges in it, but the two no name batteries will not charge with the se charger, or my old htc diamond charger with the se cable.... i dont know if its the se usb cable or the no name batteries... but they seem to have the same capacity as the se battery...

I bought the same batteries with the charger and neither battery would take a charge.
I would be very careful of getting a knockoff battery. They are labeled as being manufactured by SE but clearly they are not SE batteries.
Did a google search and it seems some fellow died when his knockoff batteries exploded as he was carrying his cell phone in his shirt pocket. Had he been carrying his phone in his front pant's pocket he might have a different problem
The article did not say what brand these batteries were knocking off, but I would still be wary of such cheap batteries.
i already stated they do not charge with the SE charger. and if you got the same as i ordered they are the bst-41 standard and meet all specs of the bst-41. do your homework beforehand people. batteries have been used daily since recieved, no issues , and almost exact consuption as stock bst-41.

Sorry if I rained on your parade but
They are labeled as being manufactured by SE (therefor are knockoffs) and they even have a phony serial #. I did do my homework and it seems that all those batteries have the same serial #.
How do you know they are same standard of bst-41 and meet all the specs, when clearly they are mislabeled - even says made in japan and I seriously doubt they are made there.
At least I can safely say they have poor quality control as both the ones sent to me did not even take a charge with their charger.
Talk about doing homework .....
In any case good luck with your purchase
jesus has this root wait made everyone mad negative??? im thinking we got shipped differnt batteries dude because the ones he sent me are identical to my se battery in every way, even the sticker on it is almost exact, even if they are knockoffs (which is what i was expecting) they are dam good ones imo. ive had knockoffs before but these charge in the same amount of time and discharge identical to my stock battery. maybe i got lucky, maybe you got unlucky, who knows. being knockoffs i guess u cant really complain for 10 bux. right now my 3 batteries are lasting me 7 days without charge....and thats on all night too.

All you wanted was to help and give your opinion and review.
Thank you for that!
I am thinking of getting a spare one myself, just for the summer holidays where I expect to be away from my charger more often!
just want to update this thread, its been weeks now, and i just checked my usage today on one of these batteries. phone has been on for 22hours since last charge...30% remaining, and thats including wifi on for i would say 5 hours, and 3g for the remaining hours. im using adw launcher, and i have gps off and bluetooth off. i usually have my 3g off as well, but since im on vacation and have 3 batteries i could care less so ive left it on. to my surprise im getting really REALLY good battery life. also have probably sent/rec about 200 texts since last charge, few phone calls, alot of surfing, mostly on xda app.
but yea, just wanted to put it out there that it is possible! should get even better after root!
BTW i just recently uninstalled task killer and task cleaner, i now let droid do all of that stuff....so...i guess the rumour is true....ATK does in fact use more battery...
cheers everyone
so I just put my stock battery in before I went to sleep last night, turned off 3g to see what kind of drain I could get. its been on for 9 hours without 3g, and I'm at 97%!!!! can someone tell me how to get a screenshot so u guys can see?

I got the 3 and external charger for 12 bucks off eBay. They don't last as long as the OEM, but 3 last a lot longer than one. Then I got the seidio 1600mah and it actually lasts me a full day. Guess I got one of the good ones.
Sent from my ADR6400L using XDA Premium App
I got the 3...If they don't last as long, I really haven't noticed.
I charge on my 2-hour commute, so I usually don't have any problems. I keep a battery at work, 1 in my backpack, & 1 at home. Options are nice.
I also got the 3 extra batteries for around 12 bucks. I haven't noticed any significant time differences between them and the OEM. Not to mention its kinda nice to have the external charger if i need it to charge an extra battery.

I'd do that just for the external charger. I bought an "OEM" HTC battery on Ebay for dirt cheap. It barely lasts 6 hours where my stock OEM battery will get 25+. Figures... you get what you pay for. I'll never buy used again to save a few bucks cuz you end up throwing that money away (usually).
My experience with non OEM batteries has been disappointing. I bought the 2 battery + wall charger from Ebay.. and no matter how long I charged it.. it never went above 75%. Also one of the batteries would drain to 0% and result in the phone powering off.. almost 5 minutes after I took it off from the charger (which said it was fully charged).
It was perhaps defective.. but that is something you might get when you buy so cheap.
I got the two "1700 mAh" batteries from htc express with the external battery charger and they definitely last a lot longer than the stock battery.. they were 30 bucks altogether which is more than the ebay deals but well spent imo
Sent from my ThunderBolt using XDA Premium App
i would recommend staying away from the ebay batteries. i bought a bunch (5) for my incredible and they never lasted as good as oem. now that i have the thunderbolt im looking for a good deal on an oem battery.
Been using eBay batteries since my Samsung Omnia. They may only last 85% of the OEM battery, but I always have a charger (in car, office, and home) so very rarely do I need to run off battery for more than 6 hours anyway. 3 eBay batteries + the OEM battery last me a good 3 days with minimal use. If I turn on airplane mode though they'd last about 4 days, so I'm happy with them.
To each their own though.
ill sell you my OEM HTC battery for $10 plus shipping. i still have the original box and everything. i'm gonna be taking a chance on one of those 3500mAh batteries on ebay so i won't be needing this one anyone. PM me if you're interested
EDIT: cost me $40 at the time -_______-
Well i kinda just want one battery. Im not into the whole swapping batteries all the time thing. Im thinking about trying a mugen power battery
i just bought a 3500mAh extended battery on ebay for $9.99 with free shipping. ill let you know how it is...... when it arrives been july 5th and july 15th -_______-

I got (2) OEM batteries for 11 dollars each from ebay... and they work beautifully. It is exactly the same as the stock battery.

THAT particular ones were what I would advise to stay away from. For me they never charged beyond 75%... unless I left them in the wall charger for many days.

I've been using them for the last two months without problems. I usually can't even tell when the battery that came with the phone is in the rotation.
Hi guys. So I basically had a problem with my phone a while back, and I actually asked you guys but no one knew what the problem was. I realized I fried my battery, and I was searching every where for a cheap 3800 mAh one and I managed to find this guy:
So I was like, "Hey, it's 10 bucks, I can't go wrong, right?" and I ordered it.
It came in the mail within 5 days, which was like 6 times faster than those Chinese websites.
I put the battery on my phone and it works!
Now, I don't have a regular battery to compare with this 3800 mAh one, but I can tell you my regular one lasted me about 12 hours, from 7 am to 7 pm on a weekday.
My regular usage is 3 hours of learning Korean on my bus rides, playing music with speakers for 4 hours, sitting in my pocket when it's not doing anything, and sometimes some YouTube when I get back home.
This new 3800 mAh battery lasts for 26 hours with the same usage, and that's after I've watched an episode of Suits on my phone in bed =D
It is fatter than the regular battery, but that is to be expected from any 3800 mAh battery. It doesn't actually add much more weight to the phone. My regular case won't work with the increased bulk of the phone, but they do give you a new fatter battery cover, which feels pretty good in your hands. The shade of gray of the new battery cover matches the shade of gray of the phone.
I also need to download a better screen shot app, because all the screenies of the battery life that I took turned out black =O
Click here to buy it from Tmart.com
There's already a 3800mah thread full of insights just like yours! BTW the main problem with it is it degrades quickly. after 4 months, mine's giving me about 4:45min screen on time, earlier it was 6. In comparison, the standard battery gives 3 hrs so it's a huge step up! Definitely worth the 10 bucks, and should last until the nexus 5 arrives anyway!
I actually want to make this phone last as long as possible. I might even skip the nexus 5 and go nexus 6 lol. Who knows, maybe by that time the nexus 6 will be implanted in our brains.

Haha, that's actually possible. I'm on cataclysm 4.3 right now, this rom makes the phone fly like it's a galaxy s4! All the games work, multitasking is reasonably good, and there's definitely going to be a 5.0 update coming for it so I don't see why not!

I got one similar to this. It seemed to have lost it's capacity fairly quickly. At first it worked well. I wonder if this may have been due to CM 10.2 as well.
It looks similar to the Hyperion. It does degrade quickly. mine now only lasts about 28 hours with only about 2 hours of screen time. It's too bad, because when I got a full day of hiking with gps tracking it was awesome.

I have got a similar $10 battery folks. Now i did not get an external charger for out, is it alright if i charge with my regular USB port with the samsung 1A charger. Also m not getting any mind blowing backup compared to my 1700mah stock battery, just marginally better. I have just done 3 cycles with it may be it will improve.
One more thing the battery percentage
falls rapidly once it gets to 20. I mean its almost like a percent per minute, dunno what to do about it. :banghead:

Hi guys, has anybody of you tried changing their N5's battery? If you did, where did you get the replacement?
My N5 has been showing signs of severe battery degradation. It's easily discharged. I'm finding myself charging it two to three times a day. Even on standby, it discharges a lot even there's no wakelocks I'm seeing from betterbatterystats app. Its been a year since I bought our N5 so I guess it's time to replace its battery.
I'm seeing some batteries from eBay but would like to know from where you get yours and how's the quality compared to the original default one.
Thanks.
I would also like to know that, as mine discharges pretty quickly as well.
im pretty sure google is still doing RMAs for the nexus 5. Every nexus 5 owner gets one free RMA. if you cant find a replacement this might be the next best thing

Well i went ahead and ordered it already. Waiting for it to arrive could be here any day now. I don't have any problem with my current battery now but I'm hoping the extra capacity would give me more freedom because sometimes I'm away from home and don't have access to a charger. Also it's German brand and I'm hoping it turns out good [emoji6]
Have u test it? Can u say if is good or not? Thx in advance

Just to update on my purchase, got it and installed since Feb. Been two months and I can say that it is as good as the original.
Only had slight problem prying open the back cover of my N5 during the process of replacement due to my clumsiness?. Got two small cracks now on the sides of my N5, near the volume area and power button area.

Well i went ahead and ordered it already. Waiting for it to arrive could be here any day now. I don't have any problem with my current battery now but I'm hoping the extra capacity would give me more freedom because sometimes I'm away from home and don't have access to a charger. Also it's German brand and I'm hoping it turns out good [emoji6]

I'll definitely share my impressions when it arrives, I'm starting to get a bit concerned right now as it's been more than 3 weeks since I've ordered it and it still isn't here yet. Usually shipments inside Europe are completed within a week. Also I've noticed a very strange thing, the listed price for the polarcell battery for Nexus 5 is $140+ now, i purchased it for $25 bucks and it's crazy how the price jumped this much!!! All other plarcell batteries for other phones are around the same price as the one i purchased, only the nexus 5 one is listed $140+ [emoji15].
