Hello all, first time user here so please forgive me if I'm duplicating anyones posts.
Our company here in the UK have just started buying the T-Mobile MDAIII, I think they're great buy the battery life is appalling!
Does anyone know if there are higher capacity batteries available here in the UK, and if so where I can source them from?
Thanks,
David.

I have a xda2s (MDAIII) and i spent absolutely ages searching and asking around trying to find the same product but i've managed to find it, (just testing it out now) the stock one is a 1490 Lithium Polymer battery and this extended one i'm trying out is a 2400 Lithium Polymer battery and it is only slightly larger than the stock one and it still fits inside the cradle! It costs 30 GBP. If you want some i might get some more, let me know

i got 2 2400 mAh batteries for my xda iis, both $30 each which ends up being about €15 pounds each in the uk. i got them on ebay and im on my phone right now =).
I want to buy the 2400 mAh battery but I was thinking, does it fit in the original leather case that comes with the Blue Angel?

I've got no problem fitting it into the bundled case... maybe you could try?
I'll get one of those batteries when I arrive to Dubai. Going there soon. Let's hope the battery life increases a lot!
Hi,
If u are going to Dubai, better get 3300 mAh battery.In India it is available at 3300 Rs...around 80-90 USD..It is slightly bulgy..but its performance is wonderful
Wow I never knew it existed. Thanks.
www.lionbattery.com
Not sure if they ship to the UK, but it gives you an idea of what is out there..
So the 3300 mAh battery fits in the cradle AND the original leather case?
Last I heard the extended battery does fit on the cradle and the case. Oh and it's 3550 mah battery not 3300 mah (that was their older model, this is version 3)
hope this helps
Any charging problem?
Hi! I have purchased ext.battery 2400mah 3 days ago, and met some problem. I can't charge it 100% max - 79% and all my plugins don't understand that it is not its native battery - for example they say (Uptime and other meters also) that it will work for 5-6 hours. In fact it works about 15 hours and more, but I have no actual information as for my battery status.
Has anyone met this problem? And how can I solve it??
Thanks a lot...

so far so good
I purchased a 2400 mah at ebay. It came in yesterday and I had it charge overnight. It did go all the way up to 100%. I'm going to test the hell out of it by watching movies, playing mp3s, wifi, bluetooth, phone, etc.. I'll let you guys know if it's worth it or not. So far I commuted 35 minutes by train this morning and had the phone on and watched an ep of Family Guy on it. When I got to work it was at 98%. I have yet to compare it to my old battery 1490mah. I don't think that it'll be at 98% by the time I get to work. We'll see...
ive been very happy with the 2400mah battery i bought a few weeks ago...got it from here...good price too.

Great news!! The battery is awesome. All day yesterday, Xmas, I shot video, played mp3's, and used the phone. The battery was at 91% when I got home and that's after being on all day long!!

2 weeks earlier bought a 2400mah battery from them, ordered online, arrived in 2 days (on a fast delivery), I have charged it overnight, put it in XDA-IIi on 20 Dec Wednesday 9:00pm still on 51%, I am making 3-4 calls per day of approx 3-4 mins average, Battery came with the back cover because its a bit thicker than the normal 1200/1300mah battery, and it DOES NOT fit in the regular leather pouch. But overall battery is superb.

Ahh man you just took the Sexy right out of her.
Your link didn't work proper here it is. 2600mAh battery
Not sure if it's needed or not getting 2 days out of heavy use (6hrs+ music 4hrsvideo but load of texting), but let us know how it goes.
For the price I ordered one too.
Thanks for the heads up

Let us know how it goes. 2600 mAh would be nice, but it will also kill X10's beauty.
Well I just received my 2600mAh Cameron Sino so here are my first impressions.
Battery fit is PERFECT, I'm actually surprised.
The cover is identical in colour and finish to the original. It's "almost" perfect. In the top left corner at the side (the one I received) doesn't lock in perfectly. You would have to look very close to see the gap but there is one.
The battery is twice as thick as the original but considering how thin the original is, it's not all that bad.
Over the next few days I'll exam the most important aspect of the new battery ... does it last a long time
I'll report back.

Yup, by the end of the week when I report on the battery I'll include some pics.
What I can say at the moment, on an overnight unplugged test, it did worse than the original battery but it is only the first charging. I'll cycle it twice this week.
Just a quick review on the first day of usage .... fantastic!
This 2600mAh is outstanding. I'm at 9 hours since unplugged and I've had the displayed on for over 4 hours. I also enabled background data this morning as well as setup Facebook and Twitter accounts. I have about an hour of phone calls to add in there as well. Spent a bunch of time organizing 7 home pages on ADW.Launcher.
Still at 67% and I haven't even cycled the battery once yet.
Really impressed.

Thanks for the Info! That is an awesome price eh? I went ahead and bought one too. Sure it might take away from the slim, sleek look of it, but after reading this I think it's worth it.

I'll have more to add on the weekend but after 2 full days of use I'm MORE than impressed with the Cameron Sino!!
Wait until you hear what I've put this new battery through
I will quickly add this: based on the 2600mAh battery performance I must conclude that the original SE battery that I have is either defective or a serious piece of crap.
Had a few moments so here you go.
My non scientific but fairly accurate comparison of the original SE 1500mAh battery compared to the Cameron Sino 2600mAh.
First of all, the fit is 100% perfect. The cover looks original but doesn’t lock perfectly in the top left side leaving a very very small gap. Yours may lock in better than mine if you get one.
With the original battery:
GPS off
WiFi off
Bluetooth off
3G ON
Background Data off
No social networks running (Twitter, Facebook etc.)
10 Emails
10 SMS
45 minutes talk time
15 minutes browser
15 minutes market
Screen set to about 20% brightness
Total screen on time about 2 hours
Unplugged at 4:30am and 10 hours later the battery was approx 20%
(This WAS a normal day over the past 3 weeks because I was stretching battery life)
With the new battery: (Did the same thing for the past 2 days)
+GPS ON
WiFi off
+Bluetooth ON
3G ON
+Background Data ON
+Twitter and Facebook both running
Same Emails, SMS and talk time
+Screen at 50%
+Playing online Poker for 2 hours
+Reading XDA Forums 30 minutes
+NewsRob 20 minutes
Market for 15 minutes
Total screen on time about 4.5 hours
At this point, 10 hours, I’ve already FAR exceeded what the original battery would have handled and this Cameron Sino battery was still at 62%.
Since I did want to cycle it I had to get it down lower so I did this:
On the car drive home I put the X10 on the passenger seat, turned on the WiFi, turned up the screen brightness to 100% and played YouTube videos in the High Quality mode (30 minute drive). Got home, put the X10 on the desk and continued playing HD YouTube for the next 90 minutes before the battery was finally down to 18%.
Now, I’m not going to log times and conditions and test these batteries over and over so you’ll have to take what you can from what I’ve posted above.
I’m my opinion, this 2600mAh battery, which should last 1.75 times as long as the original, is lasting 4 to 5 times longer given the load I’ve put on it.
If I were to have read and not posted the above info I would think it’s a fairy tale, it’s not. Maybe my original battery is simply defective. All I can say is that the new 2600mAh battery has made me actually “like” the X10. Before this battery I may as well just bought some crappy Moto RaZr because I couldn’t use the features of the X10 since the battery would have been dead in 3 hours.
I don’t sell Cameron Sino batteries and have nothing to do with Cameron Sino. I’m simply their newest and biggest fan.
I’ll try to post pics by this weekend.

Izzy no worries bout taking over we're in a forum to discuss and you've done a great job of it so far ... sorry I've been away but been playing with my buddies dell streak for the past week... now on to the battery... Izzy like u I've experienced the fact that the supplied battery cover doesn't fit, on the lower lecturing side near the camera it just doesn't snap in to the groove. The cover still stays on but since it doesn't fully snap into place dust and other undesirables find there way.into the phone... so I contacted the seller and.in turn he contacted cameron sino, hopefully they will send me a cover.
Now on to battery life: I've been getting 5.5 days with light use (just text, calls, market updatesz), almost 3 days with medium use of text internet calls and music, 1.5 days with heavy movie watching, text and calls... so all in all a great value for $20 if only they fetal me a.new cover
Ps I am using ultimate juice defender, no set cpu with 7 screens and a boat load of widgets

I was thinking about the Dell Streak before I decided on the X10, was I wrong
I'm not too concerned about the cover gap but that's only because I use a silicon case so it really doesn't matter that much. Would be nice if the case did lock in though. I was happy the battery fit so well. I have extended batteries for other WinMo devices that I just about had to insert using a hammer.
I also think the battery life is outstanding. I never really cared that much about getting more than one day but I really wanted to get at least one day With this battery I know I can do 2 days with fairly heavy use.
I also use Juice Defender, SetCPU and ADW.Launcher with 7 screens. Was doing that with the original and this battery.
For $23 it's a pretty hard deal to beat.
can you upload some pics with the new battery on X10 ? and also with the new back cover ?
I'll do some pics on the weekend.

Nice, i'm really interested too!!!
Thanks for all the great info, this might be my next battery!
Pics are sort of crappy. Used a 3.1 cam on another phone and then had to resize to post them. Should give you an idea though.
Original and the fatty
BTW, the normal use for me daily is pretty much this: WiFi off, Bluetooth on, GPS off, Background Data on, Gmail sync for contacts/email/Calender, Weather Widget, 4 email accounts .... the basics.
With the above, no phone calls today (Saturday), it's been unplugged 7 hours and has lost only 6%. I'm happy with it.
I used it heavy yesterday (Friday) and ended with 61% remaining after 12 hours.
(I'm on the 024 firmware)
EDIT -> Aside from the above usage from yesterday (Saturday) I've added about 1 hour of phone calls, now (Sunday) 27 hours since unplugged, all background running, battery at 71%
I have read where many would buy the TREXCELL 3800 battery for their Epic Touch if it were not for the awkward, black, ultra glossy extended door that comes with it...For anyone's info...I bought a Trexcell 3800 battery on Amazon for $18.00 AND a Mugen Epic Touch 3500 Battery DOOR ONLY for $14.00 on EBAY....Got both today and the MUGEN DOOR fits perfectly with the TREXCELL battery !....Also the SEIDIO 3200 battery door also fits perfectly with the TREXCELL extended battery, but I habven't seen the SEIDIO DOOR on EBAY
The TREXCELL extended battery for the Epic Touch has gotten good reviews in other forums...comparable, if not better, performance than SEIDIO. Mugen---$90.00....SEIDIO --$70...TREXCELL--($18 for battery & $14 for door) $32
If someone has previously discovered this, excuse this post !
How's the Trexcell battery performance? Are you getting close to 2x use over the OEM battery? I've heard some of these high cap batteries don't necessarily perform as you would expect for the rated specifications...
Where did you get the battery door on eBay? I don't see one listed. Also, what are people using for a case when you fatten up the phone with an extended battery.
Sorry, XDA won't let me print the link, but here is the header for the EBAY add...but hurry...might not be there long....

"EXTENDED BATTERY BACK DOOR FOR SPRINT SAMSUNG GALAXY-S II EPIC 4G TOUCH D710"
Item condition:
New
Quantity:
More than 10 available"
Price:
US $14.99"
TREXCELL came yesterday...here's performance so far...
I was really impressed ..right out of the package, Trexcell gives very detailed conditioning instructions, unlike generic high yields...I let what power it shipped with drain last night, ..charged it to full, and like the instructions said...I'm now trying to drain it dry !...after "1 day 0h 23s" still at 47% after using it mildly, setting everything on that I can (screen, radios, background apps, full sync, GPS ect.) (like the instructions say)..even ran a full length movie on Crackle (that I didn't watch just to drain it)...but it doesn't seem to want to drain fully
The conditioning instructions say to charge and drain 5 times before it reaches its prime...If this is indication of the batteries potential, it will be amazing !!

great info thx.i was wondering tho.are you getting a bad battery life with your original battery cuz i am a heavy user and still get around 10 to 16 hour days compare to my evo which would need charging every 4 to 6 hours or so.
i love the thinness and lightness of this phone.i bought acesoft double battery(1950 mah) deal with charger from ebay the day i bought the phone thinking i would need it but hardly ever used them.
again thank you for the great info and i am not trying to change or bash the subject...
acasalin, are you running off any roms or stock? Also, could you tell us your on screen time with that 1 day, 47% marker?
Sorry...I'm too much of a rookie to post a screen shot, but here are my stats:
1 it's been almost 3 hours since my last post when I had 47% left...now 37%
2 Screen time on : 4:27:18 ...........50%
3 OS................... 1:51:36............19%
4 CRACKLE......... 1:08:57..............9% (movie used to drain battery)
5 System............. 29:42................8%
Total time Since Charge.....01:02:14:43
Also...pure EL29 STOCK... I want to wait till the dust clears to root
Thanks acasalin, looks like the Trexcell is performing to rated spec.
Had Epic S1....and always had an extended battery...When I got the Touch there was no question about getting an extended battery...it was automatic.. The origional battery lasted about 14 hours...nothing wrong with it, but I am use to an extended battery in my phones. The only gripe I had was the thickness of the MUGEN battery and case I had for my old EPIC. Part of that was the keyboard. Honestly,though, the Epic Touch's super thin body makes having an extended battery very comfortable..much more so than the old S1 Epic !!
ok...finally died...got 1 day, 6 hours, 8 minutes and 50 seconds at 1% left right out of the box on the first charge:
Display : 7h:0m:18s......53%
OS 2h:5m:29s......14%
CRACKLE 1h:52m:30s (downloaded 1movie and got through half of another to drain the battery on purpose)..........9%
Couldn't get the other stats...phone died !
Seems like the Trexcell 3800 may be a great battery! I'll now follow the directions and continue to condition the battery by charging and draining 4 more times
well order mine on amazon so i should be getting it monday
So i just ordered the Trexcell battery and what do you know they also had the sense to make a a tpu case for it! i was surprised i have never seen a case especially for an extended battery
BTW they are on sale on ebay so i think you guys should check it out if your interested 17.49 for the battery + back plate and 10.99 for the tpu case

Hi there,
My stock battery is quite dreadful, I get about 1 or 2 hours screen on time. I don't think its capacity is anywhere near 1800mah.
I just ordered a new battery off eBay, claiming to be 2300mah. It is not the One X+ battery, which is 2100mah. This was only £4 so I'm aware this could be poor quality. Delivery is Thursday, I'll be sure to post my comments about how the battery performs.
I also ordered a battery case (2400 mah), which has a flip cover, cost £14. I'm prone to smashing phone screens otherwise I would have gone for the crazy 6000mah mugen case. Delivery on this is very slow but again I will post a mini review about it in here.

I was going to buy that exact battery. There was some guy on youtube used that battery and he said that it's quite good. Sadly the seller does not ship to my country. I ended up ordering this
So I just installed the battery. At one point just before I put the copper sheet back on I realised I re installed the old battery haha.
Phone has been charging for about half an hour, and the temperatures are not good. 45°C. It is not because the copper sheet wasn't placed properly, since I can feel the heat on the back of the phone. I guess that is due to the battery maybe being poor quality (high internal resistance?), since it was only £4.
Sometime tomorrow I comment on how long it lasts compared to the old battery. Previously I could get 2 hours MAX screen on time. I think it should really be about 5 hours now, with a 2300 mah battery.

Have you received your battery yet? I'm interested to see how it performs, I don't think anyone else in the forums has got one.
After using this new 2300 mah battery for 2/3 days, I am still very disappointed with battery life. Battery life is still exactly the same, I get about 2 hours screen on if I'm conservative. I may try CM11 later to see if battery life improves. I am doubtful it will though, since it did not improve battery life with the old battery.
Going to run 'Nova Battery Test' tonight and will post results. Also have some screenshots incoming.

The seller said that I would receive it in 3 weeks time. A lot of waiting. And if I receive it, I would wait until I'm done with the exams before changing the battery. Maybe at the end of June. Haha. But the guy from youtube said that he got a large improvement using the battery now.
So today I've been quite impressed by battery performance. I got 3 and a half hours screen on time! Nearly double what I had with the old battery. This is still not enough to get me through a day (battery came off charge at 4:30, died at 11:30) but I am still pleased. Hopefully can achieve this performance consistently!
Battery performance is now poor again, 90 minutes screen on time. I don't know how I got 3 hours screen on before. Seems it was a one off? I am now saving for a new phone.
How's the battery holding up? I just got my battery replaced after two years from HTC repair centre and it seems to be as new. Got the same old 1800mah battery. I'll post screen shots after the battery has depleted to 5%

hi buddy check my last post in this thread... http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2096459&page=22
overall the phone is as good as new... i am getting an average screen on time of around 3hrs and 15mins.. this may sound less, however i spend atleast 7-8hrs listening to music hence the screen time is less in my case. but if i reduce my music usage then the max i have got is 3 hrs 40 mins... pretty impressive imo... i might use it for another 6 months or so before upgrading,,,,

Yeah unfortunately.
I recalibrated the battery using an app. I might install a different recovery and clear battery stats from there.
The battery case has helped a lot. I'll post a mini review later.
OK guys its time to know the truth when it comes to battery replacements, whether its a true genuine OEM LG battery or a FAKE genuine OEM lg battery.
recently i have purchased at least 2 replacement batteries for my 1 and half year old battery which holds still good charge but not as good in the days.
Although i live in Australia, this discussion still applies to all other countries around the world.
so i purchased my first battery, cost aud $18, apparently it was 100% genuine oem battery, bought it, however when it arrived the packaging seemed like a replica of the original with different font. so ull see the difference between the batteries below. as u can tell the metal connector, is different and is made out of a lower quality metal on the fake battery, the original battery has RU symbol and all of the BL-T9 ARE MADE BY SONY, YES I REPEAT SONY, THIS FAKE BATTERY HAS NOTHING BUT SCRATCHES ON ITS BACK,....fine i didn't mind, so i tested by charging, which was fine, took it of the charger and it discharged on its first charge from 100% to 80% in under 5 min, (and please don't say ITS MY USAGE, MATE 5 YEARS OF ANDROID EXPERIENCE AND BATTERY LIFE SETTINGS, ETC, MY ORIGINAL BATTERY WILL DISCHARGE FROM 100% TO 80% WITH MODERATE USAGE IN 1H, SO EVERY TIME IM ON 80% I ALWAYS GET 1H SOT, (NO-----LOLLIPOP---FOREVER---ON---NEXUS5---)
RUNNING CM11 M11, PA PICO GAPPS 4.4.4, SUPERSU 2.46, SYNC ON, LOCATION OFF, HALF BRIGHTNESS, SET LOCATION OFF ON EACH PRIVACY/PERMISSION APP SETTINGS, ON MY CURRENT ORIGINAL BATTERY ALWAYS GET 5 H SOT, NO DOUBT, HOWEVER WHEN I HAD THIS PHONE NEW, ALWAYS GET 6H SOT, VERY HAPPY WITH MY CURRENT SETUP, LOLLIPOP ON ALL ROMS, IF UR LUCKY ON MODERATE USAGE, MAX 3H SOT, SO BAD,,,,,
ANYWAY BACK TO DISCUSSION, so look at the differences below in the picture section, ive got urls to purchase the genuine original 100000% true battery with ru symbol and Sony symbol.
recently i purchased and looked very hard for batteries with this type of features and things which are seen on the original battery. found it, received it, same looks and features, original true genuine 10000% battery, very happy, u guys want links, i just need to test it and let u guys know.

I bought 2 from this site and they where both fake. They went from 100% to 80% in 5 minutes. You might have been lucky.

Secondly, u have too cycle the battery, don't expect excellent battery on first charge, at least 6 full discharge cycles are needed to gain, refer to me, I'm an electronic engineer.

Sorry, i have no photos as i sent them back and yes i did cycle more than 6 times.....
This I my biggest complaint about the nexus, and about non-removable batteries. I don't care to have to take my phone apart to replace the battery, BUT if its "non-removable", I means the manufacture of the phone doesn't sell the battery directly to the public and finding a real one is a pain in the rear. I have bought and sent back 2 batteries because they were physically SMALLER, weighed less(on a gram scale) and lasted between 2 and 4 hours full to empty in standby mode. I bought one off amazon, the highest rated on I could find. The second a bought from ebay from the seller with the best rating I could find a at the time. I just ordered one from etrade supply and it will be here today, I will post my findings.
So, I don't care at all if a battery is "non-removable", I just wish LG/google or whoever would make the battery available to the public, so we could have a trusted source.
My fiancé needed a new battery for her galaxy s4, we just went onto Samsung's website and ordered one, directly from the manufacture and it is an EXCELLENT battery, just like having a brand new phone. That is a real reason to like a removable battery.
The battery I received from etrade supply was 100% a fake. Its physically smaller (about 1mm narrower), about 2 grams lighter, and all the print on the label is very fuzzy. I ask for a refund, we will see how it goes. I just wish there was a simple solution to finding a genuine battery!
This is the link I used to order it.
http://www.etradesupply.com/lg-nexus-5-battery.html
I laid my worn out OEM battery and the etrade supply battery and their side and staggered them so you can see the date codes. The 2013 battery is the OEM nexus 5 battery out of my nexus. The 2015 battery is the etrade supply battery. Both are flat on their sides against the table and you can see the etrade battery isn't as wide.
