My battery life has started to go down so I'm thinking to change the battery in the coming year or so, according to accubattery I'm at 97% health (5,120mAh/5,300mAh), but I'm experiencing rapid battery drain all of a sudden.
There are tutorials to open N1's and I've changed batteries on iPad minis, so I'm ok there.
The question is, has anyone found a good quality aftermarket battery? Is it possible to get an OEM one?

Hello all, Like everyone these little Aria's are nice devices..
I however seem to have mine plugged to something all the time...
My ARIA, is rooted and running froyo 2.2, still the battery life is awful, even wit the average apps turned off.
1. are there extended battery's available for the ARIA?
2. are my only options buying several battery's and swapping?
3> does anyone have any advice that may help my ARIA, stay away from the dreaded WIRE for charging??
any help would be awesome..........tattooer
let the battery run all the way before you charge it
If you are having battery issues, I'd root it. Once you root, you can wipe battery stats, flash CM (amazing battery life), etc.

I think they have portable chargers...
I saw one at best buy, where you charge it (basically an external battery) and you can plug your phone into it when you need a charge for the phone.
Energizer Energi to go is also another option...
As for me, to get the best battery life I turn off 3g, since I'm mostly around wifi anyway.
My phone is running froyo 2.2 from a file.on my see card, I rooted my phone Rondo this. Is cm6. Betterr. Than froyo for battery life?
So there are no battery replacements that give more battery Life??I have searched. The web over and over.thanks for the help. Between cm6 and froyo which has the best battery. Life?
instead of thinking, 'i need to replace the battery because it doesn't last long enough', try thinking 'what can i do to help my phones battery last a bit longer'.
firstly, read this tutorial.
in regards to task killers, i suggest reading this, and this and this.
lastly, i would recommend installing juicedefender and watchdog.
also if you're willing since its still experimental I have been using build #12 of CM7 nightlies and my batteries last much longer then when I had 2.2. I play games check articles blah blah and get about 40% life left when I go to bed around 14 hours of usage time.

I just came across this and I couldn't believe my eyes! Has anyone else seen this extended battery for the Aria (with back cover!) to see if it is legitimate or not?
I am VERY interested as I'm sure many of you are!

Any update on these "extended" batteries. Would be interested if someone can report good results.
Hi guys! I've never had serius problems with the battery of my Gratia (the European version of the Aria), but i have to recharge it every 2 days (or every day if I use it much more than the ordinary) and it's a bit annoying... I saw a powerful battery (2430 mah) in ebay, so if you are desperate you can try it
i can't give you the link because it's my first post
if you are intersted just write htc gratia battery on the search bar of the website.
PS: i'm sorry for my english be patient !

You are talking about "GOLD 2430MAH BA S430 BUSINESS BATTERY FOR HTC GRATIA"
The price and capacity sounds too good to be true. Curious if anyone tried these out.
I thought the same thing... i don't need to try it, but i'm a bit curious to know if it really works.
There is no way to pack 2430mah in a small form factor like that.
It should be over twice the thickness of a standard aria battery.
To get any extra milliamps, you would have to thicken or lengthen the battery.
Stock is it until they come out with something newer than lithium.

Agreed! Did not believe it either.

couldn't agree more with this. v6 supercharger is the way!
I don't understand: supercharger seems to be responsible to faster phone, does it also helps battery life?
I purchased a really cheap extended battery about a month and a half ago on amazon and it practically doubled my battery life for a while. Now for some reason its no where near that performance and will only last me a day or so. I already wiped my battery stats, but no luck. Any suggestions would be much appreciated!
OMG ONLY A DAY?! YOU POOR THING!
No really though. Maybe it's an app you've downloaded recently. Do a full wipe If a full day of battery life just isn't good enough for you.
Sent from my PC36100 using XDA Premium App
Any of the ext batteries good??
May I ask what the battery was? I got a really cheap one off amazon that is supposedly 3500mAh, but it only has a slight difference in charge time =/
Hey,
I got the same extended battery off amazon, it works amazing, anyways there are several things that could be causing this issue:
1. Like someone posted before me check your apps, see whats running. Make sure to look out for the new ones because it might be running in the backround where even the task killer cant reach and killing your batter D:
2. Are you using gps 4g or any other features like that?
3. If you are rooted did you just flash a new rom? because with different roms you will get many different factors that effect your batt, with MIUI I would get over a day on the standard battery, and on sense roms il get maybe only half a day.
4. Those cheap batts are made for little and sold at little from China, so the quality isnt always the best, and it might be time to get a new one!
Hope I helped! and I hope you find a solution! good luck!
L-ion batts

Since this a very old post, I'm sure that you've already resolved the issue. It has been my experience that while L-ion batts don't have a memory, their ability to take a charge can be affected by inadequate initial charges and NOT running them totally dead, at least once in a while. Whereas wiping battery stats will help the phone's OS to ensure maximum charge and usage, the battery still needs to go through a full cycle.
I hope that I'm not wearing you out with crap you already know. (Let's just assume that someone else needs this information, too).
Now to get REALLY nerdy:
http://batteryuniversity.com/learn/article/charging_lithium_ion_batteries
Read that if you really want to understand L-Ion batteries.
Then, you could just have a really cheap or bad battery pack. BTW, what's that brand again? I'm about to buy one myself...LOL.
Hi guys, I hope this is the right place for my question. I bought my galaxy nexus 1 year and a half ago, actually I installed the Slimkat rom but the battery life seems really poor, for example in this moment I've got 68% left with 1h of screen activity and 4.30h in general.
I don't know what's the average of the gnex battery life, but it would be great to improve it a bit. What's yours?
Can you tell me what rom can give me the best battery life? I'm not sure but I believe to remember that with the stock 4.3 the situation was better (not too much really), is it possible? shouldn't 4.4 be optimized to increase battery life? I've read about people with 4-5 hours of screen activity, how is it possible?
thank you and sorry for my english :fingers-crossed:
Generally, battery life for my 2.5 year old Gnex is generally not good. In fact, it's poor when new, and gotten worse over the 2 years. I'm using CM11 with Fancy R51. I think it helps the standby time significantly, although screen on time still suffers from the aged and small battery.
Recently, I made a pogo dock for it, so that I keep it constantly charged while I'm at my desk. At least it helps to reduce wear and tear on the micro-USB port.
well, I understand that battery life can't be the same of when I bought the phone but I read about people with 4-5 hours of screen activity with stock battery! I found a topic about cataclysm 4.3 rom where users say that it has great battery performance, unfortunately I can't post there because I'm a new user. I wonder if a custom rom is necessary or that's only 4.3 worth. Can I eventually flash that from from mine? Slimkat4.4? thanks
I bought my GNex about a month ago and had the intention to use the biggest battery available.
Battery: Zerolemon 5800mAh
ROM: latest CM11 release
My battery app: Battery Monitor Widget Pro
BMW tells me that the battery is actually about 5100mAh, but this average grows a bit with each full charge cycle. The problem is that it takes more than a day to run the battery down and more than a night to get full charge.
With the giant battery I don't worry about managing power.
3h's is the max I've ever got, but normally I only get 2h's.
Only way I ever see our GN would getting 4-5h's of ON screen time is perhaps if the brightness is set to the lowest level, using Wi-Fi only for data AND doing something that require very little CPU power (ie. not gaming/video).
Same. Never got more than 3h of SOT with the stock battery. Let it be Android 4.3 or 4.4 rom. I've tried a new OEM battery as well. The only option to get better battery life is to use extended batteries.
Giant battery with NFC!

Zerolemon looks great! Pity zerolemon doesn't have it for the GSM version. Does the purported NFC work?

NFC is wireless charging?
I only have a standard charger. Maybe some reviews of the battery on Amazon would be a good source for your answer. Sorry.
thanks everybody for the answers, it's a pity because my gnex still has great performance but I leave you imagine what happens when I turn on GPS . For those who talk about extended battery, can you suggest me a model? I read something about non-original battery and possibility of accident, what do you think? thanks

No, NFC isn't wireless charging. It's Near Field Communcation. The gnex is NFC-capable, but the antenna for the NFC is embedded with the stock battery. Upgrading to third-party battery usually disables the NFC functionality. Well, if you don't use it, you're not going to miss it.
Hmm, I will look into that. I don't know if I use it or not. I'm still learning about the phone, but very happy so far. Thanks for the clarification!
...
Ok, read up on NFC on Wikipedia and no, I have not yet used it.
However, one of the top rated "helpful" reviews of the zero lemon battery does mention that NFC does work. I am not currently in a situation that allows me to confirm it. Maybe someday soon.
Hi
I'm having trouble with my Galaxy Ace 2's battery life. I googled today and found 4000 mAh with back cover http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/New-4000mAh-Extended-Battery-with-Cover-for-Samsung-Galaxy-ACE2-GT-i8160-Phone-/290957031326 , but didn't found any user reviews.
Also i found this http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/2800mAh-High-Capacity-Battery-for-Samsung-Galaxy-S3mini-i8190-ACE2-i8160-/151537348944 and i like it more (because it uses original back cover)
Anyone has experience with this or something similar?
Does it have power for a long time or loose it after month of usage?
Thanks in advance
Soko

I have bought Hinorx 1750 mAh battery, but it's temporary solution...
I need one of those two if they aren't fake or worst quality on the market
Well... I had 800mAh battery on my old Nokia and (I don't know why bought a "brand new, ultra, mega, hyper" battery.... with 4000mAh... I don't know how naive I was these days (as my laptop did have only 3700mAh battery ;D
And... the battery I bought for my mobile lasted only few hours (with NO activity) in comparison to single day for the OLD and USED battery so... after alll I bought a genuine Nokia 800mAh which was much better.
At this moment I really don't trust batteries for mobiles saying they have few thousand mAh of capacity... (just compare the sizes to the batteries in the laptops
I do not recommend buying anything suspicious and by suspicious I mean everything more than 10-20% of your original battery capacity.
@wolfensg thanks for your reply
i bought 1750 mAh Hinorx battery...
manufacturer says that after 3-5 charging cycles battery will reach it's full potential... so, i will do it and post results if anyone needs that info
btw, battery is about 10€ so i dont expect so much
Coming up on two years with my lava red and gave it to my gf almost a year ago.
We are long distance so I want to replace the battery next time I see her. While I am doing it maybe replace the charging port. I saw a few videos and it looks pretty easy.
I was hoping by changing the battery I could squeeze out another two years out of it.
How has everyone's experience been with battery replacement?
Would love to hear of any experience on this also. My OP5T only gripe is that its battery is slowly having less charge. Past experience shows replacing the battery is not always for the best, as replacements are not as good as originals.
Wondering same thing. I've seen some battery's but if they aren't original then dash charging won't work
I would probably go with this one: https://www.ifixit.com/Store/Android/OnePlus-5-5T-Replacement-Battery/IF330-018?o=2 as it even has the required tools to replace it and good reviews. Will try it in a few months and will comment.
I changed it on my old OnePlus 3, and by watching the how-to video on ifixit the procedure is very similar. I did it in less than 1 hour and the new battery worked well. Accubattery showed (on OP3) capacity of 2800mAh on the new battery and the original one was on 2100mAh, so I've notided the improvement. Hopefully for OP5T it also gets better
Updates?
