This is my first post on here,but I've been lurking for ages I just bought a Mugen 3200mAh battery from MugenBattery.com.I already know about not having to condition it(lithium ion),so I ignored the instructions about cycling it and plugged it in and used it right away,and at first it seemed okay for around an hour(I didnt use it at all up to this point,just left it there until I needed it).When I went to unlock my Vibrant from suspend(pushing on the power button),the phone shut off and seemed like it was rebooting...but it just had the first screen you see(the one with Samsung and Vibrant on it) blinking on and off,even when I plugged in the charger in this state,all that popped up was a battery that also blinked on and off.The only way to get it going again was to pull and replace the battery,and it went back on again...then did this all over again when it went into suspend and I tried to unlock it.All the while,the battery stated it had around 75% power,so I have no idea what could have caused this.I put my cheep chinese 2700mAh battery back in and all was well again,so I know its the battery,not the phone.Anyone else have or seen this problem before?This is the most expensive battrery I have ever purchased for a phone at $88.00US....I hate to think that a cheep($20.00US) chinese battery has better quality control than it....
i think you need to charge it for 12 hours first.

Thanks,you were right! An overnight charge of around 12 hours did it.This is the first phone battery I had to do that with to get them to just work at all.Seems to work just fine now Again,thank you!
Let us know how long the battery is lasting once you get a few cycles please!
Yeah, you should run the battery dry, recharge, run dry, recharge and after a few cycles your life should improve.
Will do,just need a few days to do it,its lasting a looooong time!

NO, NO, NO. PLEASE stop spreading bad information. This will HARM the battery, and will have 0 benefit. The only "benefit" you can get from this is that the battery meter on the phone's firmware will be calibrated to show a more correct remaining %. You can achieve the same by charging the phone 100% (overnight) going to clockwork recovery and selecting 'wipe battery stats'. Calibrated or not, the battery will last the same, regardless of what % left its showing.
Again for posterity, REPEATED DISCHARGING OF LI-ION BELOW 20% IS BAD FOR THE BATTERY, IT'S PHYSICALLY IMPOSSIBLE FOR IT TO GET BETTER.
I am having a similar issue with a battery that I ordered off of ebay. It's 3500mah.
When I plug it in it will turn off and get stuck in a boot loop on the vibrant screen, but if it is off then it won't turn on at all when plugged in. It has been plugged in for 9 hours so far and it doesn't even show the charging animation or anything.
Normal? Or is the battery defective?
Thanks.
Ok. After charging it overnight and still nothing, I'm going to assume its broken. Thanks.

...and it does get a bit bulky,weight goes up to about double the amount,but it is so worth it,and then some!!I went from 6 hours on the stock battery to over 18 with the Mugen,and thats with heavy use(full brightness/live wallpaper,etc.).If you dont have access to a charger outside your home,this is a great buy,and you know the quality is there,unlike the uncertainty of the cheep chinese ones.Highly recommended!
The OS needs to learn your new battery. Just takes time and usage.

I am not so sure about your information. This is what DHGate, a wholesale Chinese online store wrote about the 3000mah battery for Galaxy S [not MUGGEN!]
How to use a new battery:
1. First when you received the battery,. you need to release the power in the battery, just put it into your phone without charging.
2. After the battery power is out, please charge it about 12 hours in first three times.
3. So the battery will be actived. So you can just charge it about 5-7 hours when use in the further.
You can find the URL here:

No controversies at all. Your info from the link is outright wrong.
Mannymal is correct on this one.
I also have this battery. By the time I got it, Team Whiskeys roms had gotten good enough to where I didn't need an extended battery for day to day use (stock battery usually has 30-40% when i go to bed), but I do use it when I travel, so I don't have to worry about using it like crazy. The battery lasts a long time, probably like 2 or 3 days if I actually tried to drain it, at least. And it's definitely adds bulk, but it's reasonably well made and feels sturdy.
My only complaint is that I sometimes cover the speaker with my finger when I want to silence it real quick, and it doesn't work with this because the cover's so far from the speaker. But that's just my weird thing.
Also, yeah, don't kill your battery. No es bueno.

I use a seido innocell battery and it works great after a few over night charges. I get about 8 hours average of talk time. The battery is pretty small compared to the one accessory greeks sell. Even though the ah battery ia twenty five dollars, that is like the entry level name brand battery, it will lady you a while longer than the cheap ones on ebay, but I don't knower about the ones on ebay although I do know about the one ag sells skies down charging after about 45 percent charging. The seido is charging pretty fast for me and is half the price of a mugen, the next battery I'm going to buy will be the nugent, not because I need it, just
Cause I want to enjoy it.

All batteries are so used it. . . .
All batteries are so used it. . . .
I found this extended battery case on eBay for £15.99 with free UK delivery.
http://pages.ebay.com/link/?nav=item.view&id=180939675217
It fits my SGS3 perfectly, very secure clip at the top and the micro USB connector at the bottom keep it in place very nicely.
It does effectively double the weight of the phone, but for added battery capacity I'm willing to put up with the extra weight.
It has all the required cut outs for camera, light, speaker, headphone jack, and the microphone.
The volume rocker and power button are exposed, and the case does get in the way a little, but not much, will probably prevent accidental button hits in my pocket.
It has an integrated stand which seems sturdy and clips snugly and securely into the back of the case. It does a good job of keeping the phone at a comfortable viewing angle and seems quite strong.
As for the battery part of this case, there are 4 blue status lights that show remaining capacity and an on/off button along the bottom. I have yet to properly test capacity, it came with about 50% charge, and I charged it up to full in about 2 hours from that, and charged the phone at the same time from 56% to full. I'll update this post when I see how well it charges the phone from around 1%.
I'll post some pictures of the phone in the case later, any questions are welcome.
Update: OK, so the battery case managed to get my SGS3 up to 84% from 4%, so an 80% charge without needing to reach for a charging cable is pretty good for a Chinese eBay battery, can't complain for the price!

1. Dimensions are 148 x 73 x 14
2. This is an external battery pack, not a battery replacement, and as stated in original post, I have not fully tested the charging capabilities yet, will be reporting on those later. From the capacity of the battery I would guess that it charges the battery 1 1/2 times, but that's only a guess, this is an eBay Chinese battery after all.

i have the exact same battery case, not sure if i have a defective one, it only charges my S3 up to 48% so its kinda disapointing only around 1400+Mah from the advertise 3200Mah
i tested it with a fully drained S3 (waited till the phone turned off by itself) and fully charge the case and installed the phone turned off
anyone else tested its capacity?
might just change the internal battery later on

Well mine is charging at the moment from 4%, currently at 16% and still going strong, I'll report back with results when either the phone reaches 100% or the battery case dies trying.
Edit: could be some time though, the battery case output is only 500mah!

Wanting more battery life and having reading a few positive reviews about the Gold 3500, I got one from Amazon (UK). The numbers 3500 vs 2500 mah indicate I should get around 40% extra battery life compared to stock but having played with RC cars and helicopters running LiPo packs I know that pack ratings aren't everything.
Actual battery capacity depends on the discharge rate, the more juice you pull the less the effective battery capacity you get with a lot of energy wasted in heat due to internal battery resistance. Fact of life with batteries of all chemistry.
My original battery is about 6 months old now, charged daily from anywhere between 0-50% remaining. In day to day use the Gold does seem to last longer based on my 6 months experience with the original battery but how much better is it?
I charged the batteries in my phone and turned the phone off once it hit 100% but kept the charger on as it seemed to charge for a bit longer.
Using my RC battery charger, I used the discharge function setting the low voltage cut off to 3V (standard for lithium batteries) and set the discharge rate at a constant 300 mah. Using a constant discharge rate may not be realistic but it does allow for a fair comparison, keep in mind that our phones power usage jumps up and down depending on use.
Results
-----------
6 month old stock battery rated at 2500 mah = 2364 mah (which is what I would expect from a battery with 180 cycles on it)
Brand new Gold 3500 rated at 3500 mah = 2524 mah (a bit disappointing but at least as good as a new stock battery)
Now the discharge rate can make a big difference to effective battery capacity, it might be that the 3500 mah rating on the Gold batteries was determined using a very low discharge rate or they discharged it to below 3V.....or its just a gold wrapper over a stock battery
Interesting to note that the stock Sammy battery is pretty true to its rated capacity, so the perceived increase in battery capacity I experienced with the Gold battery is probably just the difference between a 6 month old battery and a new one.
Oh well, at least I have a spare battery now and didn't pay a fortune for the Gold. The Gold does seem to last a bit longer than the 6 month old stock on so I am happy enough with it.
Notes:
Gold battery had been in use for 2 weeks to run it in
Only one discharge cycle was performed
Could be that I have a dud battery, you results may differ
In real day to day use the discharge properties of the Gold may result in a higher 'effective' capacity
Solar flares are the source of all coding errors
Fairies do live at the end of your garden :cyclops:
It's a shame i've read this post only two days after buying me one of those. Anyway, even if it won't last longer, i'd still have a spare battery right? So everything is not lost
nope, its a shame they rate it 3500mah if this is the case for all.
Mignon, maybe your can get a replacement from thrm and test again. Especially if you have a dud.
Do notice I notoce a significant increase in battery life after charging it past 100%. Probably placebo, I dont know.
Don't think I have a dud, in my experience lion batteries either work or don't. It's not a crap battery, it's just as good as stock but doesn't match the advertised 3500 mah rating.
And it's shiny gold so things aren't that bad

Well that sucks.....haha...i order a gold a week ago.....it should be here soon.....
I got 3500mah gold battery. I review it.
My rom is ultimate rom v5.1, and my stock battery was 11 months old.
Screen on time was always less than 4 hours.
Yesterday I got the gold battery, and I used it up to 1% without first charge, then I charged it 12 hours to initilize the battery.
So unpluged the charge, and tested it as the same usage. I always downclocked to 1000MHz, wifi on, no use 3g data, brightness is zero, bluetooth and gps is off. I downloaded 15 files and apps today, listened to music, did multi windows function, and almost used web browsing.
Now my battery is just 1%. Screen on time is over 5 and half hours. Obviously the battery was improved.
If official JB are released, the battery will be improved more.
But this is not made in Japan. This is made in China because Japanese is so strange on package.
Some of Chinese battery are so dangerous and may be fake, but this gold battery is good one.

I dropped my stock and it works perfectly till 55% then it dies. Gonna throw it away soon. So some of the cells could be damaged. Its not either they work or dont m8.
@Mingnon thanks for your effortful tests.
@eeynjae, what are all apps spreading around those icons in your notification bar ?
I am pretty sure most mobile 3.7v phone batteries are single cell, only the mugen styled battery extender jobs that require a different back cover run two cells in parallel.
Remaining capacity is usually just a function of cell voltage so it's strange that it should just tank at 55%. Battery protection circuits generally prevent discharge past 3.0 volts so not sure what it's going on there.
Either way it sounds like you need a new battery, wouldn't risk recharging a damaged cell...

yeah its strange. Stuff started to happen at 50, whrn restarting bat percentage dropped to 10-15%. Without restartingbit would go down normally in beginning. Now after using it some time and dropping it its 55%.
Its definitely it either works or doesnt.
Anyway I dont think it's single cell.
i have the same battery bought it a few months back i'am very satisfied....
it's not a 40% extra time even framework it designed to work with less voltage since after using it below 15% i notice always fake meter value, when you keep your phone asleep for half an hour you will notice an increase in percentage. not accurate but runs fine, its a spare and a great replacement i dont care if it's slightly powerful than stock at least its the same size for 4 extra hours.. i never needed to change case nor a cover of anything its great
Sorry for my off-topic question, but i see in this topic there are advised people recently i bought a noname car charger for my Note, (specs: output 5.5V DC, 800mAh) - is this charger good for the Note or it would damage it? (i read somewhere that the original car charger's output is 5V... this difference of 0.5V has any importance?) Thanks.

Thanks for your time and efforts - your results are similar to my amateurish measurements performed twice and reported on the other 3500 battery thread. Having no device to test the actual capacity, I just used the continuous video playback in plane mode with minimal backlight. The time to full discharge was almost identical in both cases.

It won't damage your phone, but if you are going to use it as a gps while charging, it will probably keep dranig the battery, 800mah is not enough to charge it while screen is on and gps is running

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.

Seems legit, it's an empirical evidence ...so oneplus ****ed us again??
Someone check pls with a different usb powermeter and with a custom rom
Thread title is a bit harsh. Thats not proven yet.
They tested over months with several devices but not a single time with a custom rom and kernel?
This already sounds a bit strange. This should have been the first thing to test if they want a serious proof.

I can confirm the OP.
Same "issue" here on my OP3with a custom rom & kernel.

AccuBattery and a powermeter between charger and phone.
Have yet to see any reputable site report on this, until then I'm going to assume this is sensationalizing

Can anyone acknowledge or decline this?
That's pretty normal.. We ship a 3000mAh battery. Since we can not fully discharge a battery (since that would kill it) we do not get the full capacity.. I've had this on multiple phones nothing new..

Not necessarily, 18650 (li-ion) batteries like the Sony VTC4 that's rated at 2100mah can discharge its full 2100mah before being below 3.3V which is the limit. Despite being 4.35V in our phones, at 0% battery, the battery is at around 3.65V. To get the full mAh you would probably have to discharge it till 3.5V but that would reduce the quantity of charge cycles it would handle.

Currently my 3 phones all discharge to 3.5V... That's around the point that you hit 0%. Now if you would discharge it to 3.3 wouldn't that littery kill the battery?? R

Well the VTC4 is a 4.2V max li-ion so 3.3V is the limit.

I clearly don't know as much as you on batteries prob x). So what do you think? Is it normal? Did they do it on purpose?
If this is true, I don't care what reason, and I lost 500 mah in few months this is my last oneplus mobile
Prob had to do it so dash charge can do 30 minutes, if it was 3000mAh as claimed it may have taken 40 minutes and that's not as fast as 30 to 60 sounds, so I wouldn't doubt it, i don't feel I get 3000 mAh battery out of this phone, I still have to charge daily

What do you expect... Its only 3000mAh on a high end soc. My mum lasts 4 days with 2-3hr SoT.
If this is true then xda or someone else must make it public and uncover this idiocy. I'll never ever buy a phone from them if that's true. Please xda or someone eligible make a public test to find out the truth behind this.
The Oneplus 3 was published in the same period as the Samsung Galaxy Note 7.
In my opinion, Oneplus was afraid that their batteries could eventually have the same problems as the Note 7, so they reduced the usable capacity of their batteries to 2500mAh by updating the kernel.
Maybe a kernel developer is able to find that piece of code.
Edit: That would also be a reason why they pushed the Oneplus 3T shortly after the Oneplus 3, hoping that the "small" amount of Oneplus 3 users wouldn't find out...
I'm not sure what think now
Yes, the manufacturer can modify the firmware to limit the PMIC to 2500mAh discharge only. This would probably save us quite a few cycles, not letting the battery dip below 3.5V.
What this means is that while we get a slightly lesser battery life (let's not forget, the lower the battery voltage, the faster the discharge, meaning the first 20% of your battery will last 2.5x longer than the last 20%!), at the price of prolonging the battery for about 20-25% longer. And this would mean you would need to charge 1.2 times more to diminish the effects of this change. So unless you started charging twice a day instead of once, from 0 to 100%, it should last longer on the long run, and last a bit less during the day.
OP not communicating this, however, is a big red flag.
