Well, because my cappy has such a horrible battery life, im considering buying a second battery and a battery wall charger... My question is, how fast is it supposed to charge if it was a normal charger? Im looking to buy these 2

My question is... Would it charge at the same speed as my phone would charge? (is there a better/faster way to charge it) and is it worth it to spend a bit more money to get a quality battery and battery charger?
Thanks
If you don't mind.your phone being a little thicker you should look into a extended battery I have one and its great go all day and still have over 40% at the end of the night.

I have the same set as is in the second link. I'll say this, the batteries are as good as the stock one, and great for the price. Also, having the wall charger for battery is very useful. So, that would be the one I recommend!
Also, I had terrible TERRIBLE battery life in the past. I mean, 3 or 4 hours and it was dead. The best thing I have found that helps this, is custom roms. I don't know if you are using one, but you might consider looking into those options if not.
The wall charger for the battery seems to charge the battery a bit faster than just plugging the phone in. It takes 3-4 hours to charge from dead.
i do have a custom rom But the battery life only lasts like 7 hours or so. I was thnking about the extended battery, but it makes the phone thicker, which i have to say id rather avoid. One of the greatest features of the captivate to me is how thin it is .
But yeah, as you said, the battery and charger are good enough Il be purchasing those tomorrow. If anyone has any other ideas, please shoot
edit : how thicker does it get? Is it still thinner than a blackberry storm 2?
I don't know how thick a storm is but it adds a quarter inch to the battery witch sounds like alot but I don’t really notice it when its in my pocket . I also think it makes it alot easier to hold in my opinion plus it only cost 13 dollars at cellularfactory.com witch was cheaper than all the oem batteries I found. I just couldn't carry around two batteries then you have to switch them when one goes dead and you have to charge them both but that's just me.

Hmm, idk, i still dont like the idea of adding the extra thickness to a phone. Thanks for the suggestion though.

Isnt this in the accessories subforum? Or was it moved. If it was moved, then sorry :S i shouldve known.
get the wall charger and extra battery. it way better than adding bulk to the captivate. looks absolutely retarded adding an inch to this slim phone.
If your repair center is close just go in and ask for a new battery free of charger. Sometimes they have them in stock sometimes they have to order them and send them to you in 2 days. All depends on the luck of the draw really. I have four batteries from doing it this way.

Ahh, the OEM dock + external charger.
Wanted to get one of those.
Had the same setup as OP's the wall charger that is.
I can say, the non-OEM wall charger doesn't charge that fast.
a few posts down is a mod for the NON oem charger to make the USB charge faster. unfortuanatly you cant make the battery part charge any faster. but it WILL charge faster than you can run out a battery so its good.
for buying OEM batteries, i have been told to avoid the G7 series Samsung batteries. Find the G9 series. i bought one for $18 on ebay from an american seller in new york.

Can't find any G9's over here. Went over to a Samsung retailer.
Got myself 2 instead G7's. Last's kinda shorter than that of the G9.
What's the difference between g7 and g9? Im guessing better battery life. Where do you see what the series is on the battery?

It's at the lower right side of the battery. Near the S/N.
Kinda tiny on the G9.
HUGE on the G7.
My phone came with the G9 battery and seems decent, can't really compare it to anything as it's the only battery I have for now.
After googling the G7 vs G9, it appears that they're region codes. G7 being for Europe and G9 for the US.
yeah, im just going to buy the charger dock and battery off ebay. (the amazon one)
Thanks for all your help guys
I've never upgraded or had a backup battery for any phone I've had but it makes sense to buy one for the LG G3 as it's always dead by time I get home from work and then I spend most of the time charging it next to the wall and unable to use it. Does anybody have any recommendations on a battery to use? I'm not a fan of the bulky 6000mah batteries that make your phone look like it has a big arse. I just want the highest capacity battery that will fit with the normal back cover. I think I'll charge both batteries and then swap in the morning and the evening so I always have it charged.
I've seen this one on eBay: LOPEDO BATTERY LG G3 (I can't post links yet, so it's literally the first result on eBay, 3300mAh for £9.98)
Is there a better version available? Does the higher mAh it is mean that it is better in general or will an optimised "high powered replacement" 3000mAh battery beat the standard LG G3 battery? Thanks..
Suggest to get one with separate charger
I'm also interested in these type of batteries. Anyone has tried them and can share the experience?
Hi i got a 3300mAh battery for my lg p990 on www.amazon.co.uk for €20 i think. Dident do much that old dog still drained out by the end of the day could be i was running avatar rom on it. On stock rom you might get more than a day ?
Have you considered buying a power bank? See, I had this issue too, but I've simply bought a power bank in order to give my phone an extra 50% of battery life. You can find them in all sizes and with lots of different capacities, some will even fit in your pocket with your phone. Here's two that I personally use.
http://www.ebay.com/itm/Anker-2nd-Gen-Astro-Mini-3200mAh-PowerIQ-Portable-External-Battery-Charger-/321501314592?pt=LH_DefaultDomain_0&hash=item4adaf8be20 (this particular one will give you about 80-90% charge )
http://www.ebay.com/itm/Black-Duracell-Portable-Power-Bank-Lithium-Ion-Battery-4000-mAh-/261777254771?pt=LH_DefaultDomain_0&hash=item3cf323e973 (very reliable and charges quite fast)
Furthermore my JBL Charge 2 with its 6000Mah battery provides me with both amazing music and a full battery :good:
NOTE:
Do watch out when buying a really cheap one, there's no guarantee that it will actually hold up as long as it says in the description of the item.
Hope I helped you!

Hello friend, in Brazil we also do not have the charger, nor the device v20, but I got to buy on ebay , searching for LG V20 Mobile Battery Charging Kit BCK-5200 w Hybrid Charger Case BCK5200
I saw a couple versions on Wish.com. One just a cradle, the other had a slot for a back up battery. That being said, now I am looking for a reasonably priced OEM battery. Suggestions? Also, I have not dug around yet I the setting or wherever, but does the V20 support NFC charging?
I just ordered one from eBay global easy buy. It costs Rs. 4490/- including shipping..

If you mean wireless charging, then no. I just got one for a family member yesterday and did research. There are pins for it inside the back panel, but LG never released a wireless charging back. There are cheesy third-party stickers that attach to the USB at the bottom, but they look awful.

cheap battery charging cradle
I received a $2.52 charging cradle from aliexpress ( https://www.aliexpress.com/item/Mic...ck-Holder-Desktop-For-LG-V20/32819373073.html ) yesterday. I tested it : powered it on my network hub usb port, put my battery in it, it charged it from about 75% to 100% in about an hour or less ... seems to be (very) fine for the price - Hope this helps
Just out of interest, how long do people find that it takes to fully charge their batteries with the official cradle? I normally take out the battery and swap mine for a fully charged one at about 15%, so if anyone could let me know their charging times, that would be great! I'm currently using a cheap universal battery charging cradle.
Also, when you put the battery in the phone, what does it show up at - mine is normally around 95%.
*edit* I finally found one and, so far, so good!

The output says 4.4V at 1.6A so that's about 7W going in
Battery is 3200mah or 12.3Wh
2-3h for a full charge and it should say 100% when fully charged
Just got a pair of V20s for the wife and I.
Haven't used them enough to know how well the battery lasts, but the "refurbs" we got clearly came with the original LG batteries.
I don't know if these are the "original" batteries and/or if LG is still making fresh batteries for these phones or all OEM have been sitting on the shelves for a couple of years.
I'd like to get a couple of backup batteries for us along with a wall charger to keep the spares juiced.
I've never had great luck buying replacement batteries for phones before on Amazon, I usually got OEM which were old stock or 3rd party which might work well for a month or two but then degrade quickly.
Can anyone recommend some good quality spares? I see the BCK-5200 is still for sale on Amazon, but $99 is way to steep. That's 60% what I paid for the phone
I got a used LG V20 on swappa some time ago. I bought 2 3300ma Aexpower batteries with an external charger for around $25 or so on Amazon. No complaints they have been good for the last number of months.
I got a Alimu USB Type C charger on Amazon sold by JOTech and it is awesome. It's a quick charge 3.0 rapid fast wall charger. Gives you a super fast charge. Has the little circle thing pop up on the battery icon on the phone to let you know its rapid charging as well. I use this one over the original charger it came with. You will not be disappointed. Would post a link but am still a newbie here.
As for spare batteries.... I got lucky on EBay and found the spare battery charger kit for the LG v20 for 50 bucks. Love the little charger it comes with.
I also bought this 2 pack battery and wall charging unit from YISHDA on Amazon. The batteries aren't too bad. They don't last as long as the original battery the phone comes with but come in handy. But I'm a nerd and have 3 extra batteries now.
Rarely use the charge cable and if i do its for the battery charger from the LG lit aha. I keep a battery and wall charger at work and at home so it's been pretty sweet not having to leave the phone on a chord charging. Clol with swapping a battery and keeping it moving.
I bought one of those LG battery and charging cradle sets from a seller in Amazon. They look original, however, the battery after a few months of use started to overheat and make my phone c-r-a-w-l so much that I had to resist smashing it to the floor when it was taking forever to swipe the notifications. I switched to the original battery (which already had been used for a year before swapping it for the one in the set) and my phone flies!
I don't know if the battery was second quality, but I just ordered one directly from LG to make sure that is going to be original.

I purchased the LG BCK 5200 battery and charger kit for £30 on eBay (not from China). Its a genuine OEM item and I've had no problems with the battery, its just as good as the original.
Maybe yours was a fake item, there's plenty of that on eBay.

You know I did that in Feb if this year also. I dug around until I found the highest rated battery for the V20 on Amazon. There is a brand by TQTHL that claims to be rated at 3,300 mAh. The link free below, and it's a couple dollars cheaper now than when I paid for it.

I've searched again but there are no UK sellers with this item.
And I can't remember the seller, and eBay is of little help....
I have 4 fast chargers and all 4 work perfectly.
1. Lenovo ZUK Z2 Charger with Qualcomm Quick Charge 2.0
2. Leeco LePro 3 Charger with QC 3.0
3. 35W HP Elite X2 1012 Charger (maybe QC 5.0 lol it can push upto 19V but it has stepping supply 5V, 9V, 12V, 19V and intelligently supplies appropriate voltage, no issues with it either
4. LG's Fast Charger which is QC 2.0
So basically get any Qualcomm QC certified charger
I changed mine with a Perfine 3200mah battery 4 months ago, and I'm really satisfied with it. I would totally recommend it.
I also stopped using the original LG charger when I found out that QC degrades battery life, and I believe it to be true, at least in my experience with a few phones supporting QC 2 and 3.0.
since I stopped using quick chargers, my phone batteries last a lot longer. my 2 cents.

This is the brand that I'm using right now. Been about 6 months now and haven't had any problems. Feels comparable to stock. This one is tops.
I bought a 4100mAH battery for myself and my brother-in-law off Qoo10 website in Singapore.
The battery was the same size as the original so you could easily slot it in. The amazing part was that the battery lasted at least 1/3 longer than our originals!

Hi XDA,
I am finally looking into replace my LG V20 battery. Could you please point me in the right direction to chose one? I am familiar with the following brands: Powerbear, Zerolemon, , and may be iPossible. Heard those are great. But, select few people on amazon have had fair share of problems with Powerbear or ipossible. I want a non-extended battery. So, Zerolemon is out the picture.
Please suggest, Thanks!

Hi, not sure if you are still in need of them, but if you are (or anyone else that happens along), I ordered this deal from amazon and they work great. You get (2) iPossible batteries & a wall charger unit too. That's handy when you don't want to keep charging the batteries through your V20.

I'd take a look at the new lipo batteries that are coming out, specifically the MAXXXJUICE 4100mah or the Perfine 4100mah. There are threads about it on reddit on the "lgv20" subreddit.
I use Perfine 4100mAh and i think it's best battery for lg v20. I have 7+ sot with this battery. Accu battery says this battery have 4300 mAh capacity.

Really ? I use perfine battery and i buy second for my mom, its best battery for this phone I still think so.
All other batteries that I bought before did not have the declared capacity, and had a capacity often even worse OEM batteries.
Perhaps hyperyon is good batterys, I do not know, I do not buy a battery with the back cover because I think the phone looks terribly with these back covers.

I picked up a couple of Perfine 4100mah units from Aliexpress and so far, so good! Way more SOT than the standard batteries, about £27 for the pair.
Just picked up a perfine 4100 because of recommendations and stock cover fit. I just found some documentation about only using either stock LG charger which I believe I've read is quick charge 1 rated or only max 2 amp charger on anything that is considering off brand or generic. Now my conundrum is I have a bunch of QC3 chargers that I've used exclusively till this point and I really don't want to start trying to find older chargers to use as I don't have the original LG charger either.
Has anyone used this battery with QC rated chargers without issues or does anyone know if their is a way to restrict charging rate on the V20 through software? I know there is the thermal-8996 file you can edit to change the charging speed for charging when screen is on

I got this battery this week. It last way longer than stock. It's brought New Life to my v20. It seems to last longer than an extra 1000mah would seem to last, plus it fits with no issues. I had a Hyperion 3300 mah battery that was harder to put the back cover back on than this. I am very impressed.

With the Perfine 4100, I'm using the same chargers I used with the original battery, original LG and or other ones, with no issues at all. At least 1 hour more of SOT with this Perfine.
Hello guys, let me ask something. I need a new battery for my H990DS, but every search I did, shows me manufactures that sell incompatible battery for my model, so I ask, any battery of any manufacture will work with H990DS or I need pay attention if that battery is for my phone model?
Thanks.
