Any extended batteries for Gio?

Im going to buy a new battery, original is 1350mah. I would like more. Is there any for Ace or Gio, since they have same battery?

Yes its bigger in capacity, but it is too expensive for me.
Btw, how long battery life do you get with CM7?

Hi... It's quite expensive..
But it's worth it? It's not Samsung original... How long to loose durability ?

Depends on what you use, however most custom roms go longer then stock roms.
Can also be caused by underclock, overclock, auto sync, scripts, gps, wifi always on etc

Why not buy this one? This is an official battery from Samsung with 1500mAh instead of 1350mAh.

(I can't post links since I am a new member.)

Did you bother reading the review below? They're saying that the description is incorrect and the battery is too big for the Gio...

so does anyone here ever tried extended battery? i've been looking into any forums. but always find problem, which is bigger in size, or the voltage is not stabil.
and i doubt that if the extended battery for gio would be so cheap. any suggestion?

I look for good quality battery with>mAh than original gio battery

Not sure if you can find one. Anyway it is always better to use original hardware, just pay attention to your phone settings (wifi, widgets, live wallpapers) and disconnect everything that you don't need .

I'm going to buy some of the battery... it looks like really good for me...

I wonder if it's realy possible to have a significant higher capacity battery with the same size.
In my previous phone (Nokia N82) I replaced my original battery with some chinese one which looked exactly the same as my original but it was no match for the real one. It performed slightly better than my original Nokia battery of 2 years old .
With batteries I guess you get what you pay for.

I got a gold battery from ebay for pretty cheap (i think $20 with shipping). It seems to work better than the original. It is 1430mah iirc. I've run a few tests on both batteries and it does work better by about 20 percent. Perhaps he original battery was defective *shrug* I'm really not sure how they stuff more juice in the same amount of space. Using the new battery with wifi/3g on and trillian and gmail syncing in the background, the phone will last 15 hours with regular use. Never tested with wifi/3g off and a lower screen brightness, perhaps it would last much longer. Still I've got the original battery with me as a backup.
Edit: Running gold battery all the way to dying i'm reaching 33 hours at this point with some system tweaks. Lower brightness, just trillian running and gmail accounts syncing. Still curious how long it'd go with wifi and data turned off but I havent had a chance to test that. My older phone had an aftermarket battery that was three times the size of the original and special cover came with it. It made the device quite heavy but i didnt mind since i had about 4 times the power. I wish they had that for the gio.

1,5 days and it's off
I use Governor Smartassv2 and i cannot have more than 1,5 days with stock battery.

help
where can i get cheap batteries

you could get them from ebay/dealextreme/focalprice/...
And always invest some time to read what others have to say about an item before you buy it

is there a final report on the battery search?

Not really, i really wish charging cases would come out for more devices, instead of just the iphone though.

[Q] New battery issues

Hi all who stumble upon my question. I recently purchased a 2500mAh battery from ebay but I am having a few issues with my phone/power/charging. Firstly I did a battery stats wipe when the phone was on <1%. Now it always says the battery is on 100% until it dies, even when the phone is offline and the battery is dead it says it's at 100%. This also means that the battery won't charge to its full capacity I have tried wiping the battery stats again once it is charged but unfortunately it makes no difference. Is it because of the rom that i'm on? and i preferably don't want to do a data wipe. I am using the heaven droid rom http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1801634
Furthermore, i'm finding that i don't get much more usage out of this battery than with the original 1500mAh battery (before i was having this problem...) any tips?
Thanks for reading this, Aaron

Was it an official battery or cheap knock off, if it's the latter I'd bin it and buy an official one.

yeah it was a cheap one but it is bigger and heavier than a genuine ba750 so it seemed legit to me

It is, but the system is locked to 1500 only. After it dies reinsert battery and it would continue the left juice

This is getting annoying now
ok i've kinda tried your suggestion and the battery has been lasting longer. But i flashed AOKP JB and i still have the same problem. Although the battery now says it's at 1%. I performed a data wipe etc. This is getting annoying now :'(

This thread may help out.

Try this : Download from play store "root browser", open it and go to /system and open file "build.prop" (as text) and edit line :
ro.semc.batt.capacity=1500 (the 1500 replace with your new capacity)!
Then save and close file, reboot phone.

ba750 and acro s battery

Hi I saw something intresting on mugen power site. I chose my xperia arc model.Next I read in specs that battery is also compatible with xperia acro. The difference is the Lt26w battery has extra connector with and access to remove battery it is not very easy. In xperia acro s specifications I read that it has 1910mah battery. If its true what is on mugen site I can buy sony stock battery which has extra 1/4 mah than ba750. What do you think about it? Could sb of you eventual shot a picture if has both batteries together. I mean if it has same measurres.

Sorry but its not satisfy answer. You said that these are different and link to separated photos.Give more details why do you think that is like you thinking. Other have any evidence that both these batteries fits to arc. The side of + and - connector is not a problem. I think that there is a way to install it backside at the front . Need more evidence. Please its imprtant for me

Do you live in china? Because there is no other reason you cant just google this for yourself. Arc s have Li-Po 1500 mAh battery Acro s have Li-Ion 1910 mAh battery. What does it mean? It means that these batteries are made in different technology and i don't think its safe to put acro battery in arc. But there is only one way to be sure: Buy it, try it and if its not compatible then fry your phone.

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

Anyone tried MPJ 2500 mah battery for xperia s ? How is its backup in xs

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.

Need a Good Battery But Same Size as Stock

Is there a battery thats as big as the stock battery but has more juice? I want a stock-sized battery with more battery life but that isnt as big as an extension.

Look for Anchor or Zerolemon

Your criteria is as follows:
Same size as stock battery
More battery life than stock battery
What I linked is a stock sized battery with 100mAh more juice. This meets all criteria listed in the OP. I checked the link and it is out of stock, but it was in stock yesterday. You may have to buy one somewhere else. But it's a solid battery, I was using one for a while after my original battery started having issues.

I too have had mostly good luck with Anker batteries. A *bit* better performance than stock with the stock size.
Battery technology is only able to cram so much capacity into a given size and retain correct operating characteristics.
Hastily spouted for your befuddlement

Well some of these monsters do offer 7000 capacity. Yet stay in the Stock form factor.

7000 in the stock form factor?? I got to highly doubt that. Can you post a link to this?

Here's one. They have integrated back cover and plastic case for heat dissipation I believe. I don't use one so no idea on Heat.

I dont get something here. If this battery is in the same stock form size, why would they include a back cover? This leads me to believe that you need a special back cover for it because the battery sticks out. Like I said, I hugely doubt this battery is the same size as stock.

Hi OP,
for the size of the stock battery, the Anker batteries are about as good as it gets. I have experiences better battery life with them than with stock batteries. The battery you posted is thicker than the stock and thus requires a different back cover. This means that it will not fit into standard cases, either. Since your post is a bit older, could you tell us which battery did you end up buying? Thanks!
