First, you must be rooted. Anytime doing things under root, is at your own risk. Proceed with caution. Always have a backup.
Then you will need to use a root file explorer there are many to choose from.
You will need to navigate to /etc/floating_feature.xml
Scroll or search until you see the capacity string value
Change the mAh capacity to your desired battery mAh capacity
Verify that you have 1900 mAh instead of 6000 mAh
If 6000 mAh is listed you may need to calibrate. Let me know and I can help with that.

Hi all,
I recently purchased a new battery for my arc. It says it is a 2500 mAh rather than the standard 1500 mAh that comes with the phone. I put it into to my phone charged it like it said and i didnt realy get much more from it. I downloaded an app that gives you the battery info and it said it is only a 1500mAh!! I contacted the company and they apologised and sent another one out and this is doing the same. Before i complain to them i was after some advice
Do i need to do something with my phone like calibrate the battery or something or is it that the company are telling lies by saying its a 2500mAh battery but in fact its only a 1500mAh?
Any help would be great as i dont want to complain if iv not done something right haha
Thanks in advance for any help

The arc is hard coded to only read 1500. So your arc will drop to 0% but if you remove the battery and put it back in, it should read the remaining charge if your battery really is 2500
Here's what was posted in another thread.
3. Here comes the tricky part:
The phone seems to be unable to display accurate readings of the battery.
It drains from 100% to 1% approximately the same way stock does and then I have to pull it an re-insert it and when the phone boots it displays 65%. Same way, every time it hits 1%, I have to do the same and the percentage rises.
I looked into /sys/class/power_supply and found a folder called semc_battery_data. I searched further and realised that the capacity (1500) and type (Li-Pol) are actually hardcoded on kernel level. HTC developers have already addressed similar issues on kernel level.
I talked to Bazoocase (the developer of the 0% battery issue work-around, so pretty much the expert on the Arc battery gauge!)
about it and he confirmed that this is really the case:
If the battery have the same size as the original, then it isn't a 2500 mAh battery. If it is a 2500 mAh, then it must be bigger, so you need a other back cover. If you buy a gold battery, or something called like that, they are faked. Most of that batteries don't have a over charge protection, so they can heating up, damage your phone, or blowing them self up, if it is a real cheap battery.
i've a 11000maH. It's amazing
What's it like having a brick?
Ask someone with an arc to compile a special kernel for arc for 2500mAh battery capacity.
Tell them it's located here.
http://50.56.186.177/devkern/2.6ics/arch/arm/mach-msm/charger-anzu.c
Code:
struct device_data device_data = {
.limit_tbl = &limit_tbl,
.battery_capacity_mah = [U][COLOR="Blue"][B]1500[/B][/COLOR][/U],
.maximum_charging_current_ma = 1050,
};

No no, don't do that. You must be absolutely sure it's a 2500 mAh battery, otherwise you damage your battery, or phone. A 2500 mAh battery cannot have the same size as a original 1500 mAh. If you want a 2500 mAh or higher, then it is a extended battery, with a other back cover. Use a multimeter to test it. You will see that the batteries have 1500 mAh, not the promise 2500 mAh.
Thanx to this post i was about to buy that kind of battery
I also have an extended battery, but not 2500 mAh but around 1850 or so. 2500 in the same sized housing seems to be pretty unrealistic.
I'm interested in a fixed kernel with higher battery capacity built in. But, yes it does involve some risk. For instance, you can not use your original battery anymore...
Any news on this idea of an modified kernel?

Just make sure it is a real 1800mah, or the chip will charge it longer than its true capacity, heating it up and causing fire/explosion.

Thanks MarioLouis. You're right.
In another post about the same topic from iridaki, there mentioned that with this kernel mod you can use both the high ànd lower capacity battery's.
Unfortunately I'm not on gingerbread so can't test the proposed mod from Irdaki's post.
is there a tool to test exact battery capacity in mAh ? I bought a battery on ebay it says 2450 mah. I want to know exactly capacity in it.

Go to your dialer and enter the following code: *#*#4636#*#*. Then select Battery Info/Statistics. It's the 'hidden' menu, but that will display your battery power in mAh.
it does not show mah. battery voltage is in mV .

Ain't this what you're looking for?
I tried once, it running forever, no result. I stopped it. I will try again.

But there must be like tons of apps like this. I mean, I found 2 with just searching for mah checker on Google. So there are apps yes
I tried Nova battery tester again. I waited a whole day it still running, I had to stop it. The mAh number on bottom constantly change. it cannot detect battery capacity.
do you know any other app ?
Does anyone tried a different battery capacity? I found a 3000 mAh on ebay, did anyone tried it?
Do you think is harmful?
Thank you in advance
Is this battery built by HTC was is a third-party battery that is working with HTC?
It isn't a HTC battery, is a spare with more capacity, but I don't know if it's harmful or not, I didn't found anything in internet about it...
I don't think the battery capacity will harm the phone, maybe just the battery will hold longer or not, depends on it's quality.
The point is: does the actual stock battery has a fix number of cycles or whatever? The actual battery has 2850 mah capacity, the new one 3000...the difference of 150 mah will be recognized by the mobile? This is my concern..

The phone will charge and discharge the extra 150mAh but the correct capacity will not be reported by software.
Anyway 2850 vs 3000 is a little change, and if the battery quality is lower than HTC original battery maybe you'll not see any difference or maybe the battery will hold shorter.

From what i've seen on the Galaxy Gear S forums, somebody fitted a bigger battery inside and it worked just fine.
And his watch now lasts a few more days.
Anyway, for 150mAh more is simply not worth the risk.
Hi.
My name is Andre.
I have an xperia play that I've been using as a pocket emulator for years.
I have the NexPlay Rom installed, as well the recommended LuPuS CM9 Kernel and .58 Enhanced firmware.
Recently I bought one of these 4500 mAh battery and back cover from ebay.
The original charge it came with lasted a good while so I really believe this is not a fake battery.
But I can't get the phone to recognize the new battery capacity and charge it. The phone seems to only charge it up to the original 1500 mAh.
I've added the following line to build.prop (the line wasn't present) through the BuildProp Editor app:
ro.semc.batt.capacity=4500
But even after clearing the cache, davik cache and resetting the battery stats, I see no changes.
Can anyone help? I'd really appreciate it.
sorry i cant help, but a 4500mah battery sound nice, when i had the xplay i had a 2450 mah and worked fine, the only problem is it decayed its capacity very very quickly

Thanks anyway.
Since my original post I've done more reading, searching and testing.
Turns out there is nothing functionally wrong with the phone, other than it still thinking the battery is 1500 mah for battery duration calculations.
The charge percentage is correct, and the phone is charging the battery until it reaches a voltage of 4.2, which means it's full.
It's the battery itself that is only taking in about 2800 mah. The seller said he would send me another one.

ok keep us updated
I recently purchased version 4/64 of this mobile, for 223 euros. The point is that Accubateri pro tells me that the battery capacity is 4,300 mah, about 5,000 mah theoretical is this normal? Should I change the phone?

Best to check for the battery life with your "normal" usage. If it is ok for you, keep the battery. If not you can try to optimize battery life, e.g. by using better battery stats app, recording an idle dump and post it in the BBS thread (https://forum.xda-developers.com/t/app-2-2-05-oct-v2-4-betterbatterystats.1179809/). Experts will share tips and tricks to optimize your battery life.
The mAh number alone is not that important IMO.
