3500mah battery

I cheaped out and got a 10 dollar Ebay extended battery.
I thought I would report my experience. I cleared battery stats and it's now charging.
Typically during my normal work day by the time I get home the battery has about 10% or less . That's usually about 13 hours off the charger. I typically just surf the net, but I also text, play games and watch videos.
The first thing I noticed was the increase in weight. The extra bulk hasn't bothered me yet. When seeing new phones the slim ones look so much more desirable but with the width of the evo the extra thickness isn't super noticeable when actually using the phone. I'll see how I feels in the pocket. Being shallow it does look about 65% uglier though.
I will take pictures later.

Cool, I want to get this but I heard some things about the phone not able to charge all the way with the 3500. Can you please verify? Also, please go into detail about the usage and your stats have so many hours please!

Interesting I just woke up and got a phone call. Lasted about 2 minutes and then I used the browser to navigate to your post. After reading it checked the charge level and it's at 96% kinda weird for such a massive battery and such little use. So after 3 minutes of use its down 4%
Now I should mention that I haven't brought it down to empty and then recharged it like how the companies want you to. I understand that with nicad and nmhd batteries but I don't get why lion needs that cycle. But I'll report if there is a difference.

i haven't noticed any difference between my old battery and the new 3500. i let it drain down to 10% and then charged. maybe after a couple of days the rom will adjust to new battery.

Alright 7 hours into the day and i have 80% left.
I'm also kinda liking the extra thickness in terms of using it. Feels about the same in the pocket. A little heavier and easier to feel on a "do I have my phone?" Pocket tap.
One odd thing is the sound from the speaker seems to have improved slightly. I think it has to do with the space between the grill and speaker has a gap and it creates a expansion chamber or something I dunno but it seems to be marginally better.

So 12 hours in now and it's at 57% a definite improvement.

Would you mind uploading some pics please? Maybe a link to ebay. There are a couple of different sellers. Thanks

finally ran out of juice. was playing pocket legends to speed up the process.
here is a link to the auction:

if the link doesnt work anymore the seller was speedy-china http://myworld.ebay.com/speedy-china/
so taking pictures is kinda funny cause typically i use my phone for a point n shoot. i cant find my real point n shoot so ill either look harder tomorrow or bust out my dslr.

I bought the same battery from the same seller a couple weeks ago. I am still waiting for it to arrive. It does take a long time for it to ship from Hong Kong to US, but after reading this post I think my $8.50 was well worth it. It will probably be here in a couple weeks with Christmas slowing the shipping process down and all, but I am eagerly awaiting my purchase.

I bought one a few weeks ago. It does add bulk and a lot of weight however, in my experience it is much more comfortable to hold the phone now. The biggest surprise has been with the new battery case, I can now set my phone down without having the speaker muffled since it is about 1/4" off the surface while streaming tv. I have heard different ideas to break in the phone like full discharge 3 times and others say not to fully discharge it. I would recommend that after your initial charge, turn the phone off and charge it another hour. Personally, I can stream about 5-6 hours of TV (with full screen brightness) at work before needing to recharge.
Any comments like "I took the phone off the charger and it's at 95%" is working as intended. Most phone with Li-on batteries do a cycle charge when they get to 100%. They will stop charge at 100% off charge to 90%, back to 100%, then 90% and so on. This is done because Li-on batteries are dangerous at when under a constant charge. If temperature get too high they can degrade the internal membrane causing fire and explosion from released hydrogen gas.. If you want to leave the house with 100% just unplug and reconnect your phone about 10 mins before leaving.

I got a 3500,not dure if its the same u have. Didnt look at the link
But I got it for emergency. Power goes out... Long trip etc.
I carry 2 other "extended" batts for EDC. Dont mind changing batt and keeping the phone light.

Hey guys, unfortunately I didn't see this post before buying a seidio 3500 and custom case. I just wanted to tell all of you some helpful hints.
1. Condition the battery- run all the way out till phone shuts off (if you go out, keep your original battery and door with you as a backup). Do this about 3 times
2. When charging the light on the Evo turns green after the battery reaches 1500 (the size of the original battery). You need to charge the battery about 3 hours past that to get the full potential of your extended batt. I charge mine over night and I get about a day and a half out of mine!!!
3. It's best to condition the battery about once a month to increase battery life. They say that these batteries don't retain a memory and I believe this to be true, but over my years of experience, it helps to condition very once in a while.
Hope this helps and good luck. Reply back if you get a chance, as I will subscribe to the thread, and let me know if this info helps.
Peace!

How much did you pay for duty fee's to get it shipped here?

im going to average out the difference in battery life of what i have left at the end of the day now vs how much i used to get, to get a good idea of how much more juice im getting.
(so far its looking like 60% more!)

I bought a 3500 on ebay and it was $8.48 shipped. No duty fees. The battery was 2.99 and shipping was 5.49. It is a great deal seeing how everywhere else they are 60 & up.

Extended battery for Note 2......

How many people use their phone so much in 1 day that actually need an extended battery for the Note 2?
Sent from my SGH-T889 using xda premium

There were days I wanted one for my original Note. But the Note 2 has held up well. Even my days of heaviest use it's made it through so far with 10% to spare.
I'm not sure I'd want to carry a massive battery for this thing. But if someone came up with a back and battery that addded 500mah and was only say 2mm thicker overall and really didn't change the fit and style I'd probably go for it.

I always wuss out if I get down to 30% and end up recharging. That might be 1 or 2 days a week. Usually hours of gaming is about the only thing that'll kill my battery in a day. But, I really couldnt see the need for an extended battery on this device for everyday use.

Before owning this fantastic phone I started to worry when the battery indicator showed 25-30% charge. Now I smile knowing that I have at least 5 hours heavy use or about 12 hours standby remaining. If you want it to last even longer but still get email updates and social media updates get Easy Data Pro from the market. Its very good. Apart from the ugly widget that is.

It's easy to kill the battery when at a theme park, vacation, etc.. because you're not sitting next to a charger all day. Many suggest an extra battery but if you're on an extended phone call or in the middle of movie/game how do you change the battery without turning the phone off?

I don't really think being at an amusement park has anything to do with it. We're going 24 hours between charges, why would proximity to an ac adapter change things?

Sorry, guess you stare at the ground while your in line or waiting for anything. I haven't seen anyone get 24 hours screen on time but if I'm waiting most of the day somewhere than my screen is gonna be on. If you're next to an AC adapter than you can easily charge your phone right?

The last time I was at Universal Studios we got the express pass. Zero wait, and we completed the entire Harry Potter experience by 930 am. Had very little phone use the entire day, as we got to enjoy the entire park three times over.
Seperately, not a single person has ever said they have reached 24 hours of screen time. I regularly get 6+ hours tho. What we are getting is 24+ hours between charges.

Also, I would recommend an external battery. I personally use a new trent 5500mAh version. That way I can recharge the phone while on a call if ac power isnt available.

I have never been at an amusement park for 24 hours straight.
If you are on your phone 24 hours a day while on vacation, you're doing it wrong
Btw, I got almost 7 1/2 hours screen on time with 25% left... that's more than enough for me. My screenshots are in the thread for battery life.
That being said, I would rather have an extra regular battery and keep the phone thin, than have a thick phone and try to find a good looking case for it.

I'm actually curious about the extended side project for my classic romo. I want to run my romo and my gs2 on one of the 6500mah batteries for the note two. I hope they aren't crap, I'll probably get one after I get paid on the first, but won't be able to actually have anything to compare it to. I may drop it in my note just to see if it works with the bumper actually, but I have never needed to worry about battery charge. I have gone out on off nights with less than 30% battery life and been home hours later before getting a low battery warning.

I'm new to the Note II, actually it's in the mail. I'm a heavy extended battery user on every device I usually own. As the note II is new, I spent a few days looking at power.
My guess is in most cases it should last at least all day even with heavy use. None of us are usually very far from our chargers or spare batteries.
What I did do, is order this one. http://www.ebay.com/itm/390499613512?ssPageName=STRK:MEWAX:IT&_trksid=p3984.m1423.l2649 I'll try this one as a primary and keep the stock battery as a backup.
If it's really 3960 or 3100 who knows, but if it is 3960 then it should be more than enough for a full day of about anything.
I also looked at extended batteries requiring new backs. The thinnest one I could find, was 3-4mm at 6500 mah.
http://www.wirelessground.com/samsu...gclid=CKTgstTI5LMCFQY5nAodnRkAtQ#.UK9CTIbp5yN
It took a lot of reading on all this, got the Motorola 2 amp car charger and so on, but power was an issue I looked at close for the note II.
Power doesn't seem to be issue from everything I have read, but it makes sense to know what power options are out there and if you need a backup battery anyway, get one with 860 more Mah. if you can.

How they get away with this is crazy, but at least people are catching it sooner than later.

if you are looking for an extended battery I would be patient and wait for powerskin to announce or shoot down if they are gonna make a case for this phone. Those who don't know powerskin is exactly what it sounds like its a case with a battery built into it. They made one for the GS2(TMO) and GS3 with the wild popularity of Note2 and it being on all four carriers it should be a slam dunk. The best part is they don't add much gerth to the other phones...

I ended up getting an 8500mAh battery off of eBay from this seller:
http://www.ebay.com/itm/8500mAh-Ext...-Samsung-N7100-Galaxy-Note-II-2-/170933592938
I've had it for several days now and am really happy with it. At first I was just going to use it as a backup for going on trips and such but now I think I will use it as my main battery. The back it comes with actually has a sort of faux metallic look to it and fits in really well with the phone. It doesn't look at all cheap like some of the other battery doors I looked at on the 6500 mAh ones.
I've had the phone running for nearly for days straight with some heavy use includs hours of calls and gaming until I finally needed to charge it.

Man, how much thicker/heavier does that make the phone? The main reason this phone isn't "too big" is because of its weight and how thin it is.
I got into the habit of using Mophie Juice packs on iPhones back in the day, and did extended batteries with large battery covers on my Nexus One and HTC Blunderbolt, but with most Androids I just pick up a spare battery and keep it in my wallet. They're thin enough to fit that way. With the newer Samsungs, a spare battery has been a waste of money; my Galaxy S3's spare is still in it's shrinkwrap months after purchase.

It's probably about twice as thick in the biggest part and it is a bit heavier, but the battery door is curved and tapers over to the battery part so it's not twice as thick on the whole thing, just the battery part, but it also doesn't abruptly pop out a square, it's tapered. I think it looks decent and not boxy at all.
I was concerned myself before getting it but I don't really mind the extra bulk and weight considering how much more battery life I get out of it.
I don't think I've seen any other phone have an 8500 mAh battery and considering that I personally don't think it adds too much extra bulk. Of course that's a YMMV sort of thing.
I'll see if I can grab another phone and post a picture of it later.

I'm just curious how accurate the capacity is. I have become very dubious that these odd/no name batteries have the capacity they say they do. For almost a third of the price you can get the 6500s as well.

I honestly can't speak to the accuracy of this 8500 mAh vs the 6500 ones being sold since I haven't tested the 6500 ones. I know it sounds trivial, but I do like the look of the 8500's door vs (the pictures) of the ones for the 6500 batteries.
Anyhow, here is a picture of the 8500 battery with the door on.

I see no need for any larger batteries. The stock one gives me well over a day. But to each their own.

Thanks for both of your replies. I agree, that's a fine looking case, and 8500 mAh battery is almost drool-worthy.

Battery replacement - experience so far

After becoming increasingly frustrated by poor battery performance, I decided to take the plunge and order a new battery from Amazon (UK) http://www.amazon.co.uk/gp/product/B00SHVIV96?psc=1&redirect=true&ref_=oh_aui_detailpage_o00_s00
After previously breaking the screen and damaging the USB socket / circuit board which required a new screen assembly+new ribbon cable the battery replacement was incredibly easy in comparison and took under 5 minutes.
The old battery had the date of 2013, October 24th, the new one date code 2015, February 14
With moderate usage i was getting about 12 hours battery with screen on time of around 1 hr 30 ( GSam battery monitor ) with heavy usage this was significantly less.
with light usage I was returning from Work with about 40% left, which then took around 45 minutes to fully charge back again to 100% using a wireless charger.
Also recently the battery wasn't even charging on the official charger, instead it would drop about 2% per hour and charge very slowly with Bluetooth/wifi etc switched off.
The New battery came with 45% charge and its been on charge now for over an hour ( same as the old battery) and its only increased by 20% so it appears to be taking much longer to charge.

Mine will be delivered tomorrow morning. I have big hopes because i am also getting poor battery with 2h of SOT . Will report my experience

One of the things I know about Lithium batteries is that when they start to loose capacity they will charge quick - but also drain quick.
so far the charging appears to be taking forever - gained about 12% in the last hour. There are a lot of people who want fast charging however at the moment if slow charging=better battery then all the better.
One of the things ive missed with the nexus 5 is a replaceable battery ( that is one that you can swap while away - no tools required) and in place of that Ive been using a portable power pack with QI built in ( Rav power ) thats about the same size as the nexus 5, the nexus 5 in a case+the rav power QI charger both fit in a pocket and the nexus will charge from the QI charger whilst both are in a pocket.

Day 1 of usage, and im currently showing 15-20% extra charge remaining usually i would be at 40% ( give or take 5%) today at the same time i was at 63%

I notice my Nexus 5's battery charges rather quick. And been losing power fast as well. Maybe a new battery.

So, is it so hard to replace my battery?
Because somehow my phone is heat so quickly (even on lightly use like chatting and 9gagging)
And also, my phone is draining so fast (after i plug out, it takes under 5 minutes to go from 100 to 99)

So long as you have the right tools for the job, it's actually fairly easy going - IFixIt has a pretty handy guide for it.

Its actualy easier than the giude makes it look - if you dont have the tools then you can buy repair kits
the only tricky parts may the the bottom of the back cover where there may be a small amount of adhesive, and getting the old battery out - again as a result of a small amount of adhesive.
I would advise that you have something soft to place your nexus down on so you dont scratch the screen, something to keep the little screws in so they dont get lost, and a flat/clear area.
with a little bit of thought the nexus 5 could have been designed with a user replaceable battery .
As for usage not much to report yet, I've re-set Gsam battery ( only realised that it need to be re-set) and its currently reporting screen on of 2hr 21 battery life of 8hr 43 although this has only just been re-set so it may change.

Is there a recommended seller at amazon.com?
Don't want to be scammed.

Use a slow charger overnight or leave on the charge via computer USB port for whole night. Will help if you are doing fast charge all the time.

Changed mine couple days ago, i notice an increase in battery life compared to what i had before so i am happy. But i had difficulty taking out the old battery from the chassis, it was glued really fri*king hard. I hate adhesive

yeah i remember when i replaced my cracked screen some months ago, removing the battery was the hardest part because of the adhesive. not that it was hard to get out but i had to be gentle not to damage the battery. any way our device has great repairability comparing to other devices which can be a nightmare. now i'm waiting for this battery to arrive and this time ti will not be difficult to remove since i have done it once. i hope this battery turns out good, i've heard good reviews of it even though it's not the default lg battery and has slightly more capacity.

What is the date of the new batteries is everyone buying ? Someone is selling me a one with February 2014 date, it is new , but I think it is too old. What do you think ? My phone has one made I think in November 2013 (first batch n5).

Where are you guys getting the batteries? I'm having trouble trusting these sellers.
Sent from my Nexus 5 using Tapatalk

I purchased my battery from a company called ITSTEK via amazon, the same place where i purchased my replacement screen from.
The first screen was purchased from another seller, packed in bubble wrap and had been taken from another nexus 5 ( had damage marks where it had been removed)
the screen from ITSTEK was inside a sealed anti static bag with LG markings and Korean/Chinese (?) writing on.
As for battery life GSAM is now reporting battery life 15hrs 22 min ( was 12hours
Screen on 2hr 10 ( was 1hr 30)
while that may not sound great each time i check the app the figures are going up time goes by.

If it's been kept cool and 60%charged should be OK. I'd rather a genuine one like that than a new copy off ebay

Well i have received my polarcell battery and been using it for 3 days now. I have written my impressions in this thread http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=60795458

T-800 back panel slightly bulging

Purchased in 2014. Battery works perfectly. Tablet is not warm at all while operating.
Took back panel off. Battery casing seems a little baggy like filled with air. Is this normal?
Anyone have back panel bulging slightly?

It could be the battery bulging, I have seen phone battery`s swell and push the back off the phone, you need to be careful keep it somewhere fireproof.
Lots of video`s on youtube on how to replace the T800 battery if you want to do it yourself.
The battery can cost from anywhere between $10-60 dollars for a cheap ebay battery to an more reliable M99.com battery.
John.

I would like to bypass the battery altogether if possible? Its used for watching movies on that beautiful screen with the perfect aspect ratio.
Well the back panel is off. Hope they didn't glue the battery in.
Thanks for the info.

The battery is not stuck in as far as i know, be careful with the battery connector, Lots of problem on the T700 and some T800 are caused by a bad connection, like flickering of the screen or jumps in battery capacity.
I bought a spare battery for my T800 over a year ago just in case mine went bad, So far it`s over 27 months old and no problems fingers crossed, so the spare still has not been used.
John.

I barely used the battery all these years. My battery has about
40 cycles used. Perhaps leaving it plugged in at 100% charged
while in use all the time without cycling the battery enough, may have wrecked it. Could also be the age of the battery.
Even if you don't use it, the chemicals degrade. The battery
needs to be kept cold, dry and periodically charged.
they don't make t800 batteries for probably a few years now.
they are most likely old stock and nobody know's the temperature or environment they are stored in.
After testing all day yesterday, the battery still works like new.
just the ever so slite gas swelling that worries me although the battery casing still has lots of room to expand, it's still quite loose. I will replace it If the swelling increases. will be storing this thing when away and at night in a ouside, concrete enclosure. The next battery I get will be exercised monthly.
You live and learn! haha
Thanks for your help John

HTC 10 - Replacement Battery - Have you done it?

Does anyone have any direct experience (not hearsay) or a link to anyone who has actually done actual testing on any replacement batteries.
Ideally, something like what Richard Lloyd has done on youtube to test 18650 batteries.
*** As we can use the google machine, please refrain from links saying "this battery sucks" or "this is the best ever!". Reviews on amazon, ebay, aliexpress and others can be bought for pennies.
It would be great to see someone doing math and using electrical measurements, not what an app reports. ***
----------------------------------
So, two-ish years later and my unlocked HTC 10's battery is starting to go.
I'm using the latest build of Leedroid's rom and no, it is not the rom.
I have replaced batteries in the past and feel like I should give it a shot even though HTC made it a b*tch to change.
Why I'm asking: I changed the battery on a past phone and it worked pretty well for 6-ish months. Then, it exploded and cracked the lcd and g glass screen.
So, trying to avoid that.
-----------------------------------------------
Facts (as I understand them):
We cannot get a real / genuine HTC 10 battery.
HTC does not sell them.
Anything labeled as such is most likely a Chinese fraud or an actual HTC 10 battery that failed their internal inspection process.
-----------------------------------------------
Does anyone have any experience with the replacement batteries that are for sale on Aliexpress?
Part number: B2PS6100
Brands (stickers?):
Cameron Sino 3000mAh
HSABAT 4300mAh
Ciszean 3000mAh
LOSONCOER 4300mAh
XINBONG 4000mAh
Dxqioo 3000mah
etc....
What buyer did you get your best / working battery from? Details please!
Has anyone ever gotten a reading of more than 3000mah that lasts?
I've read on oneplus forums that many replacement batteries often only provide ~80% of the real battery when new and fully charged (mAh).
Many have concluded that batteries that fail their inspection process are not properly recycled and are being re-branded and sold under new names / stickers.
Comments welcome, hopefully my caveats at the beginning didn't scare off everyone.
Thanks in advance!

Mine is also 18 months old and looking for some alternatives . Hope somebody gonna help us.

I've done mine got it from repairbase.co.uk but haven't done any tests on it other than what an app called acubattery which estimates it's capacity as 2868. I've never fully charged it got it set to only go to 75% in the hope that it'll last longer than the original.
Ref the actual swap it wasn't that bad,
I heated the screen on a microwaved wheat bag
used some suction cup pliers to lift the screen
Cut the glue with a guitar pick
Made a simple diagram on a bit of cardboard to stick the screws in.
I took all the tape off completely stored on a bit of greaseproof paper and was really careful with the screen ribbon.

I replaced my own battery.
I replaced my own battery. I bought it off of ebay from a seller in the US. My phone used to have random boot loops now that no longer happens.
It was difficult. Heating the display and pulling off is a problem. I actually broke my display and severed my ribbon cable for the sim. I replaced those parts and battery change was successful. Now the only issue is the adhesive is not sticking that great. Nothing that affects anything. I just see how the screen slightly gives just a little bit. I do not recommend the double stick tape. Get the special glue!!! Something with a 7000 in the name.
I will be reheating a gluing it in the future. I dread working on this phone. Although I am not a professional I think I did a pretty good job. Other phones are much easier to repair.
I DID NOT notice a super improvement in battery life. My new battery was now back to "Ok" battery life instead of terrible no more bootloops at 20% or when camera is open. There is a problem with the HTC 10 with the cpu using to much, along with wakelocks and wifi. I really wish HTC would address these issues.
I installed LEEDROID have not switched kernal yet. I have getting over 4hours and 30 minutes of on screen time. If I change the kernel and throttle the cpu I may be able to get a little more. The goal is 5 hours.
I am NOT an EXPERT. I am a smart individual through trial and error that can figure many things out. I like to get the most out of my technology I'm not ready to get a new phone. My phone is primarily used for Audiobooks, Youtube, web browsing, texting.

i wanted to replace my battery... but after watching this video i've lost all my motivation ^^
as soon as my battery starts to crash at low percentage i'll take another look at it ^^

Oh.... and i always tought these batteries are from the same manufacturer as the original one but somehow stolen/bought directly at the manufacturing site and sold by private persons.
It is really hard to distinguish a real battery from a fake...
But to know if your battery is full/new or not the only way is an external discharge test.
I've tought about buying one of these https://www.ebay.ch/itm/ZB2L3-Batte...560532?hash=item25e6002a94:g:ag4AAOSwmnFZ4hxs
But it says 3A ... which is a bit much for this poor phone battery.

Having a functioning temperature sensor is critical to the stability and safety of the battery. If you've replaced your battery, use an app like Accubattery to verify the following: an existing thermistor will read a fluctuation in temps anywhere from 20-50C based on usage and ambient heat. Most (all?) of the batteries sold online have only a resistor which will send various inaccurate readings to the phone, typically 25C while charging, and a jump to 35-38C while unplugged (if the plugging/unplugging makes no sudden difference, try putting your phone in the freezer, or going between idle and heavy use to test).
If your replacement battery has an accurate temp sensor, please add to the discussion by telling us where you purchased it.

i bought HSABAT 4300mAh from aliexpress,i replaced the battery .will share with you guys here the results

Shame it's so much effort to change battery my wifes phone always turns off at around 21% now and she doesn't like any of the newer phones most are too big this htc 10 was the max she would go to.

My guess is that a lot of people are going to try in the coming 2-6 months as their battery starts to weaken.
Phone is great. Processor is fast enough and camera is great.
My hope is that we can gather real info and start to get good intel on these battery brands (?).
I don't think changing the battery is particularly easy, but it can be done. (See YouTube)
That being said, I don't want to have to do it more than once.
I hope more people chime in, because I guess many have already and many more will be doing it.

yo dawg, any news? i'm very eager to read it.
peace

Hey @alicine. I'm really curious about the battery and want to buy it. I have some questions and would really appreciate if you could answer them.
1) Has it exploded yet?
2) Is it the advertised 4300 mAh capasity?
3) How did you make it fit inside the shell? Is it the same dimensions as the 3000 mAh ones?
4) How long does it take to charge & does it still support fast charging?
5) How many hours of SoT are you getting now? (which ROM you're in that would help too)
Thanks in advance.

Tips from experience on M7
One thing about lithion batteries . . . they lose a bit of capacity just sitting on the shelf as matter of simple, natural deterioration. So to a certain extent, the newer the better.
When I replaced the battery on my HTC One M7 it was a similar challenge. My approach to buying a battery was to look closely at the photos and see what the date was on the battery for sale as it should be printed on it. (Some of the sellers don't even know that.) I tried to get the most plausibly recently made battery, within reason. By that I mean, I was concerned that for an older phone there might not be any batteries recently manufactured for it, so a very recently dated battery might be fraudulently remarked/re-dated. If I wasn't sure I queried the seller to find out if they knew what the battery's date was.
I'm not sure my theory is correct about which date battery to shoot for, but I'm still going with that line of thinking

Hi, what about the battery performance with daily use?

@numpaque
I'm not sure what the question is there - batteries lose charge as you use them, then need recharging.
What do you want to know again ?

1-No its not exploded yet, its working very well
2-I guess no , because im having same SoT as i get it when i first buy the phone
3-I removed the screen first,then one by one other compenents.Dimensions are the same
4-Its takin 50-60 mins to charge from %5 to full
6-Stock rom 4-4.5 hours depend on the use

I sent my HTC-10 in for battery replacement through the official service in Germany. This was approx. 6 weeks before my warranty ran out.
Battery performance was really bad with SOT of around 2 hrs, and random shut downs at 20-40% battery capacity.
After 2-3 weeks it came back, and according the delivery paper the battery has been replaced.
But regrettably no improvement could be notified.
So I sent it back again and got it back within approx. 1 week. This time they had replaced the side keys on the Phone, but even this time I could not find any improvement of the battery performance.
So I claimed it a third time, and sent it to the official service again. But now my 24 months warranty was gone….However they still accepted this as a Warranty claim and when I got my phone back after approx. 2-3 weeks it had a new battery, and a new screen.
Since then, the battery performance is good and my phone works more or less like a new one.
I get SOT between 4-5 hrs and no more shut downs and boot loops using stock Oreo.
