I think my battery is kaput. It charges really quick - something like 3-5% per minute, but also discharges much faster than usual. And often the bar will show 60% and the next second it drops straight to 0% and the battery is dead.
I've re e factory resetting the phone and the problem is still there. I can barely can 2 hours of SOT now so I'm going to get a new battery and install it myself.
I know there are a couple of threads on battery replacement here already but I wanted to know if anyone knows a source where I can get good quality battery or even a nexus 5 OEM battery. I have trouble trusting these sellers on eBay unless someone can link me to one that is reputable. The average price I see on eBay is about $10 which is quite cheap. Some of them are obviously fake and cheap looking but some look like it could be the real thing. Any help on where to get a replacement from?
Thanks.
I am having the same issue with mine. I bought a replacement in amazon. Battery should be here soon will follow up if it solved the issue. My dad has a nexus 4 with the same issues as well. So he bought a replacement after I told him about my issue.

An Ebay seller I have used and got nothing but original parts from at a great price is usmobileparts (I use to fix and flip phones.). Very reliable seller very fast shipping and packaging is perfect. I used that person many times over ones that were a tiny bit less in price because they were awesome.

Thanks for the help. Unfortunately the price is a lot higher as well - $116 for just a battery.

Maybe give this one a shot. It's on Amazon for $19.99. This one isn't shipped from China or some random seller, so there is less risk of fakes or dealing with return problems. It's not directly from Amazon, but it's fulfilled by Amazon. So if you have any problems, you basically have full Amazon coverage and can just return/replace it very easily.

Yeah that doesn't seem right but my guess it's a holder until he gets some back in stock. But glad you found one though.
i bought one from etrade supply last month and replaced it when i replaced my screen. battery had a manufacture date of 3/15 on it and has been working great. here is the link to it http://www.etradesupply.com/lg-nexus-5-battery.html

i had a great experience with both of these ebayers:
extra stock battery ($19) from this seller
wall charger ($4.89) from this seller
shipping for each was free, and i received both items within a week, in excellent condition. both the battery & charger work great. i have read many reviews about the seidio extended battery, and i don't think it is worth $50 (plus another $5-8 for a charger)
That's about right for the charger. But if you aren't in a hurry, you can get 3 batteries and a wall charger here for $12.
It just takes 2-3 weeks to get here. I used them (same type) for my DInc and already have a set for my Bolt and they work the same as stock.
i saw lots of multiple battery deals on ebay, but i don't trust cheap knockoffs. i got a cheap generic battery for my nexus one and it lasted about 2/3 as long the stock battery

Stock battery: $19
Cheap battery: $2.75 (ish)
By your 2/3 estimate, you would pay up to $12.67 for a knock off battery, so by buying these cheap knock-offs, you are saving almost $10 for each battery.
perhaps so, but i wanted a battery that would last at least as long as the stock battery. i didn't want my phone to get low during the day, replace it with the knockoff, and wake up late for work the next day because the knockoff died during the night. i value having a single, consistent OEM battery more than getting a group of low capacity batteries at the lowest possible price
if you are better served with multiple cheap knockoff batteries, then by all means get what suits you best. i just wanted to share my ebay experience with anyone looking for a reliable seller of OEM batteries, because there are tons of shysters selling worthless crap online
I had a cheap knock off for my D1 and it died so quick...never again buying a knockoff
Oh, you mean capacity wise? I find mine to be right on par with the stock battery. I thought you meant that they'll die in 9 months rather than a year (which I am fine with).
different strokes for different folks.
i bought generic ones off ebay for my gf's droidx. a week later the phone ran extremely hot on generic's. i'm guessing the chip in the generic batteries didn't work.
i paid full retail for my phone, im not going to try to save a few bucks on something as essential as a battery. $20 for something that will power your phone for another 10 hours EVERYDAY? worth it.
Haha, the guy wants like $93 for the charger now. I think he typed in an extra 0 or something!

$95+ now... I asked a question to see if it's a typo or not. (I basically asked what makes his $90 more valuable than other ones on eBay...)
I got a charger, but mine came from Hong Kong and took about 20 days to get to me. I wouldn't have cared to pay a couple of extra bucks to get one in 2 days instead, but $90 bucks is a different story!

thanks for the advice/links! i just bought both of these
i noticed that both of these sellers are located in brooklyn, ny... seems like a verrry odd coincidence that both of the sellers you recommended are located in the same borough (the usa is a huge place!). also seemed strange that you linked to the sellers' profiles, instead of the actual items.
so tell us, are you the seller? or are you just friends with the person who runs both of these ebay accounts?
either way, i bought em both. mainly because i live in brooklyn too, so the shipping shouldn't take too long.
thanks again! make sure to leave me good feedback also, any chance i can just come pick up both of the items so i don't need to wait for it to go through usps? you'll save some shipping money that way too!
i also thought it was odd that both sellers were in brooklyn. i am not the seller and have no connection with either seller, i just thought another xda member or two would benefit from my experience with them. i'm glad to see you found some useful items
Just to follow-up here. I bought one of this guy's batteries and am not happy with what I got. I believe it's not an OEM battery but a counterfeit battery (the void sticker is wrong, and other things aren't identical to my OEM battery). Additionally, it's somewhat defective. Once it hits ~30%, it dies and cannot power the phone any longer. I've gone on multiple charge cycles now and it's predictable that my phone will just randomly die somewhere between 30-34% battery left. If I try to turn it back on, it doesn't even attempt. After charging it for ~30-45 seconds, then I'm able to turn it back on and it immediately reports ~30-34% battery but will die if I pull the charger off of it. It's fine between 35%-100% though.
All-in-all, I have pretty much paid $20 for a mostly-useless battery. I've sent the guy a message - we'll see if he fixes the situation. But at this time, I definitely cannot recommend this guy and, in fact, I somewhat dis-recommend him. I see absolutely no reason to go with him over the $9 for 2 batteries + charger people.

They've responded to me and are offering either a replacement or a refund. Of course I have to ship the defective one back on my own dime (that's not right imo - if they ship me a defective product, it should be their dime that fixes the problem).
So they're at least doing most of what they should do in this scenario. Not a "bad" buyer in all regards, but bad in that 1) they sent me a counterfeit product while claiming it's OEM and 2) they won't cover return shipping the defective/counterfeit product that they sent me. I'll never shop with them again but rather than advising others to not shop with them, I'll simply advise them that the one product I bought from them was a counterfeit while it was advertised as OEM, so be informed if you buy from them.
EDIT:
I noticed in their return policy that they say they'll charge a 15% restocking fee for any refunded item. I asked and they will NOT be charging me this fee. So they're doing right in this aspect.
I just ordered a stock battery for $3.99 from ebay link. Looks real but maybe just a good looking fake, thought I would share with you guys anyway. What do you guys think?
It say's "Unbranded/Generic". Most of the time, if it's too good to be true.. then it is. The consensus with cheap generic batteries on ebay is that they work great for a few weeks, then the capacity quickly goes down. For the price, let us know how it works!
Shipping from Hong Kong/China, guaranteed to always be a fake. Stick to buying from sellers who ship from within the USA.
Yeah I noticed the unbranded generic but that's just the eBay description and some people don't fill that field out. They did say the item pictured is accurate or something like that so I figured why not. The battery that came with my phone was a finished in China battery so I know they make them there and I've been buying stuff from China or Hong Kong for over 10 years with mostly good luck. Either way for that price if it works I'm good with it.
well i contacted a bunch of em about those batteries
and few chose to say generic other said copies
but was impressed ( despite knowing ) that none claimed its original.
they are dirt cheap if can last for 3 or 4 months with reasonable backup then no harm .
otherwise try and search for andida slim 2300 battery
heard good things about it - provided you get a genuine andida and not a fake.
all the best.

Did you get them? Does it work well? What kind of battery life are you getting out of them? Better than stock?
Yes I ordered last week when I posted this thread but it has not arrived yet. The seller marked shipped the next day but stuff from China usually takes 2 weeks to arrive. I will take some comparison pics with my stock battery when it arrives then post some results after a few cycles of use.
It came in today, definitely a fake. They did a terrible job applying the sticker too. See attached pics knockoff battery on left, stock on right
Put in phone and working fine so far. Came charged to 66% like other batteries I bought in the past. Will update again after using a few times.
Initial run not bad from 66 down to 2% 2hr 43min screen time and 8+ hours uptime. This is exactly what I would expect from my stock battery. I'm charging now in my external charger and I will run a few days and see where it goes. Hopefully the initial cycle was not a fluke.
After a few runs this is a decent battery. The life span seems to be just less than my stock battery and it does not run hot or anything. I suspect its just a generic 1800mah battery. I wonder why they felt it necessary to use the fake labeling?
Is the battery still working good? I just ordered one on ebay.. My battery looks like it's about to burst. The back cover won't even go on right lol.
Yeah its been in rotation for a few weeks now and no issues yet. It still seems to get slightly less battery life than stock. No complaints for $4. You may want to replace that bulging battery sooner though. This one shipped fast but still took about 10 days to arrive.

I think it started swelling because of my friends horrible charger. I crashed at his house and was forced to charge my phone on his charger. It looked so cheap and felt really light but it was charging. I woke up the next day and my phone was dead. I powered it on and it was 15 percent battery and the screen blinked then died.
Ever since then I have had nothing but problems with the battery.. so that has to be the culprit .
It's been 8 days so far and it said it just arrived in CHICAGO, IL. I'll be on my n7 until it arives!
Hi all
Does anyone know where i can find a legit replacement battery for my phone. I look at amazon and they either look too cheap or have terrible reviews. Where can i get official batteries for about 20 pounds or less. I live in the UK.
Thanks
"Craftmann" makes not bad batteries. Check this.
Do you have a link? I heard that only the oem battery was recommended.
I bought it directly from Samsung. There was a review on a german site, which showed that 12 out of 12 batteries from amazon were faked ones.

i just replaced my battery with the oem one although i bought it for like 9€ from a local shop.
although it lasts a bit longer, when it gets to around 30% then its no more stable and it will possible have the the usual behaviour we all know dropping instantly to 20-10% in minutes etc...
anyways....is there something we have to do when we replace a battery? Are there and battery stats or something that we have to reset or tickle so that Android will "learn" the new installed battery is in place?

You probably bought a counterfeit battery.

anyone has any 1900mah battery to suggest please?
Not looking for extreme capacities and stuff, but one that you have tested and behaves just like or close to when we all had the original battery that came with the phone.
Someone recommended the Deji battery but there is no way on earth i can find somewhere else than this Turkish shop
I have been on TechOrbits battery bought at Amazon.com for about two weeks now and am satisfied with it. They have warranty, so if the battery bloats (which happened to the previous eBay knock-off in just one year) I could get it replaced.
https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B01M5EK96F/
i would really go down and get this one
http://www.mobilefun.co.uk/39677-of...-1900mah-standard-battery-Reviews.htm#reviews
judging by so many positive comments i think its the safest bet so far, so many fakes....i bought one for 8€ and it sucks badly.its getting close to the performance my 3year old official battery had.
Having lost my original battery and having to rely on a cheap ebay battery I thought I'd try mobilefun. THey shipped immediately, battery arrived in what looked like official Samsung packaging. So far so good, battery lasts much longer than my cheap ebay option and probably longer than my original battery but I dont have any stats to back that up. Battery discharge is slow and steady unlike the cheap ebay option which I've found tends to drop off a cliff when it drops below 15%. I can confirm that NFC works as well. Still early days but the signs look promising.
There are genuine Samsung batteries on eBay, the best bet is listings that include a photo of the packaging. A seller that is closer to home is preferred as well (if your home is not China or Hong Kong, anyway).

I have the same behavior as well with my 1900 mA battery although I bought it from an official store for around 27 USD.
This behavior appeared only few months after purchase.
Now the battery charges in 2 hours and 5 minutes and lasts for 6 or 7 hours only (normal usage).

My original battery is dead, she worked for a long time, she deserves peace. The problem is founding a new one!
I bought one from ebay but it's REALLY bad. Do I have to throw out my loved S4 mini cause there are no adequate replacements avalible? Someone knows a good place to buy it in 2020?
On my side I'm using a battery from Gadfull (can be found on amazon in some EU country). I've been using one for almost 3 years and for 2.5 years the capacity was good. I will get a new one this week.

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'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].

Hi,
I have an One M9 which needs a new battery. Does anyone have a suggestion what to get? All I could find (here in Germany) was a battery from PolarCell, which did not get good customer reviews, or doubtful "original" batteries.
Any brand would do it. I'll have to check if they are available here anyways.
Thx
I just opted to buy from one from the ebay sellers that sell used ones....probably from service centres getting rid of them in bulk. The first one I got was not great, only holding around 2200mah according to accubattery. I complained and had another one sent which was much better, accubattery reading a stored charge of around 2700mah. So yeah, in the end I got a decent battery for around £4.50. (+ a spare 2200mah battery).

I just opted to buy from one from the ebay sellers that sell used ones....probably from service centres getting rid of them in bulk.

I just filtered by cheapest first and then chose one of the sellers that had sold loads of them....It was probably the cheapest there though. It's a lottery with buying the used ones.
Is teracell battery good enough ?
Polarcell batterys have always been my favourite battery of choice to go for!
German made (Those bastards make good products) and slightly larger capacity!
I am a new user here so i am unable to provide a link to you guys! Though a quick ebay search will provide you with what you need
