Replacement BL-53QH battery options? - LG Optimus 4X HD

I was about to buy a new standard battery. And it sort of struck me that - couldn't it be possible that someone had made a lithium polymer/synthetic battery in the same form-factor by now?
So... anyone know if there is such a thing on the market? I know there are a bunch of imitation batteries in different variants. But what about a synthetic battery that lasts a bit longer before the max charge drops?
Or, if that's not available - what do people recommend in the same form-factor as the original battery? A new original one, or a battery from a particular vendor, etc?

Only the original model ensures the best fit between charger (P880) and the battery.
Find out more on pages Battery University.

thanks, but should be technically possible, at least to build a polymer-battery at about the same form-factor, with a slightly higher charge, same voltage, same charger relay, etc. But ended up buying an original battery instead, of course ..

Why should someone build an enhanced battery for an obsolete device, which is out of production for years? The best you can get is old stock of original batteries (probably with some loss of capacity due to storage) and crappy chinese clones, which promise amazing numbers, but are actually much worse than the original.

You can also get original(?) batteries (with stickers and everything) on eBay with claimed production dates of few months ago, that are totally useless and don't last half a day.
This is really disappointing since I still got a perfectly running P880 and can find various uses for it, but with an almost unusable battery it's a problem.
Anyone bought a decent battery lately (even if months ago)? Where from?

1500mah batteries, anyone tested them already?

I found some 1500mah batteries on ebay. They are dirt cheap and even have free shipping. Sounds to good to be true so anyone tested one of these batteries already?
since i cant post links look on ebay for: Legend 1500mah
The legend only came out a month or so ago, and you really believe that there are already replacement batteries with a higher capacity on the market?
If you're lucky they'll only be of inferior capacity. If you're not so lucky you might end up with a destroyed phone, or worse like severe body burns from an exploding piece of crap battery made by a Chinese company that couldn't give a damn.
Protect your phone by not buying one. Protect other consumers by not buying one, thus reducing the amount of counterfeit product on the market. Protect yourself from bodily harm by not buying one...

Although I praise your concerns about my personal safety that wasn't the question. I know they are dirt cheap and I know what the risks of faulty batteries are. But you can't judge everything on gut feeling so that's why I'm asking if anyone had experience with them. If they are selling them people must be buying them.
Sadly people buying a product doesn't actually say much about it's build quality but I'll not bother you further with that
If someone has a good report on those batteries I'd also be interested in reading it. But are people allowed to browse the net from the Intensive Care unit? (only kidding)

wow, sounds very ominous, beware the evil battery
I would be interested to know if these are a scam or not.
Does anyone offer a larger capacity battery for the Legend yet? (Or is it likely they will?)
for alot of phones there are large capacity batteries how ever for the legend its harder i guess. Mostly the higher capacity batteries are slightly bigger but the legend design doesnt allow any room for that. So it has to be a battery with exactly the same dimensions.

Well if you look all over eBay (sorry can't post link) there are 1500mAh battery's widely available from Hong Kong and the likes!
But for €6, i dunno will it even work!
Why do you want others to "test" these batteries for you?
Why not buy one yourself - test it - then let us know what they are like?

Haha!
Nice!
my nkia e71 battery is virtually the same size, so there is no reason why there can't be a good quality 1500 at some point
nokia e71's screen is about half the size, not a touchscreen, inferior technology to the legend's, far fewer apps so much less usage etc etc etc
I'm not comparing the phone, only the battery.
but the battery is only as good as the power requirements determined by the phone's components and applications. I'm sure if you stuck the legend's battery into an old brick it would also last ages, but that's largely because it's not being drained by anything

He is saying the battery has the about the same physical dimensions and packs 1500mAh, so it is possible to make a good quality battery with these specs.
Got it, but I meant the current battery is probably just as good quality wise, but more juice is being sucked and at a faster rate.
Here's another way of putting it, do you know of any amoled touchscreen smartphone that runs many apps, WiFi, gps etc etc and lasts several days of regular use?
ive just ordered one 1500mAh HIGH CAPACITY BATTERY FOR HTC LEGEND its on ebay but its a uk company called ecell, ive had stuff of them before and the quality always seems good, ill post back when ive got it and tested

I have exactly the same one in mine Legend.
To be honest....it is ****.
Some e-mailing, browsing, a hour of music listening and BOOM...it's drained.

I honestly think original battery is better.

That's completely irrelevant. The Legend packs a 1300mAh battery, the Nokia E71 apparently has a 1500mAh battery with the same dimensions.
All he's saying is that it's possible to make a trustworthy 1500mAh battery that would fit the HTC Legend. No one's comparing battery life, we're comparing battery capacity. I don't see how the draining rate of the battery is relevant. A 1500 mAh battery has 15% more capacity than a 1300mAh battery and thus has 15% longer battery life. What's not to understand about this?
Whatever...

[TIP]:Use only original Batteries.

There may be many batteries in the market but only factory made ones sustain the level of the needs of the phone.If you so damn angry with your battery life and choose to buy a higher mAh battery i would say its a bad idea..cause many china makers just use lower quality cell and prepare a battery and label it with higher mAh capacity sticker..so you lose your precious hard earned money on a fake cheap battery and soon you spoil your phone board and the result your phone may get DEAD.And duplicate batteries have faster discharging rate due to low grade cells in it.This is why apple iphones comes with a batteries that cannot be taken from the phone..Better you spend money on spare battery from original manufacturer so you get a good battery backup for longer time.And the +point is you get warranty.So no fear..I have made this post to help the people buy original batteries cause rest are peace of ****.Do you want **** on your phone??
Enjoy ANDroid Experience with original batteries.

Lol holy sh!t bro. I was thinking about buying this already
http://www.ebay.com/itm/Samsung-Gal...Accessories&hash=item23196593db#ht_2804wt_907
I am fullly satisfied with my Chinese replacement batteries. They don't last as long as the original one though, but it is still okay. (Their capacity is about 25% less compared to the original one).
Using them with an external charger, I have always two batteries which are fully loaded.
I use them for a half year everyday, altenating with the original one. Nothing happened so far and I absolutely doubt that they could harm my phone. The only difference is, as mentioned, that they have a little bit less capacity.
To claim that chinese batteries could destroy a phone, is just speculation. If so, it could happen with an original battery too, since they are also from china and most probably made in the same cheap factories.

Agreed. Most of the batteries - and Boards are made in China. So, we cannot take it for granted that Chinese battery would destroy your phone - though they have bad reputation.
P.S: I read in an article a little while ago that the battery used in iPhone is also made in China (Guanzhou I think). The good part by Apple Inc is that they have not revealed to the manufavturers where these are being used since they have middle men in between and manufacturers never know where their prodicts go... // I didnt agree to this though, but the article said so.. Just Sharing..
grizzlydude said:
I might agree on the statement if we consider noname chinese batteries which are being stamped without any precautions or testings and sold on Ebay for couple of bucks. That is true that they might be of a very low quality.
But if we talk about branded batteries such as Seidio or Mugen, which offer quality and a good customer support and just see the feedback and test results found also on XDA. for instance I have been testing 1600mAh model for G Ace and its originally almost 25% more mAh than stock battery but it actually supplies about 35% longer performance. And manufacturers claim it will have 400-600 solid lifecycles compared to 200-400 lifecycles that original stock batteries supply.
Secondly mobilephone device manufacturers have no interest whatsoever to supply an ultimate device for users to last forever, and stock battery is a great compromise to save some money, and attract users to change they phones more frequently. This puts stock batteries under some doubts as well.
I wouldnot be so dogmatic about stock batteries supremacy..

So you recommend that battery? What do you think about this one? I'm about to order one so your opinion is worth a lot right now.
BTW; your link is down and I can't find it anywhere else. I think the website is having problems. But still though, please tell me your opinion.
Exactly we have to always used the original battery.This make our mobile phone life longer.
even if u say that, its hard to find battery made from non-cheap-mass-labour country....
aint saying chinese batteries are all horrible, but from ur statement it would be hard to find one....
Is Mugen made-in-china too?
Agreed!!!
I agree from personal experience.
Bought a 1 year old HTC phone, bought 2 Chinese higher capacity battery at eBay.
Both Chinese batteries swelled after a few months of use. Original HTC battery almost 3 years old now and still working fine!
Better get a reputable battery like the ones felllow members recomend.

LG G2 3300mAh BL T7 eBay battery

Hi guys, I research the battery to replace my old 1 1/2 year old battery and found out this
http://www.ebay.com.sg/itm/3300mAh-...LS980-VS980-/201392264411?hash=item2ee3ea14db
The battery seems to have more capacity than OEM LG G2's battery.
Does anyone tried this battery before?
If you purchased and tried it, which reseller did you buy from?
How is the result and battery life?
Thanks!
If it has risk of explosion stay away from cheap Chinese brands.

Try and let us know :laugh:
Those Chinese batteries always indicate higher than they actually are. Stay away from them, they're junk.
I had the same experience with the Samsung S4.
It's a marketing scam. The 3000mAh battery is pretty big itself, cramming extra 3300mAh is impossible without size increase (think about cell count)
Save yourself from stress & problems, get the 3000mAh one (and OEM if you find)
I tell you from experience that do not rely on the Chinese mh, are not real never
Go with a genuine part. If it swells or leaks, it will damage your phone.

New battery, original or fake?

Hi,
Yesterday i buy new battery for my old lg g2, but i'm not sure is it original.
My New battery is non stepped like this http://tanstartrade.ca/images/LG%20BL-T7.jpg
Do you think that it could be authentic?
Thanks in advance for your help.
I just got replaced battery in service - they told me that they use original LG parts. When I checked it under the cover, it shows manufactured date 6th of January 2016. It is not allowed by antena strips and curved back cover to have thicker battery and thinner would have less capacity. You could probably try but I don't see any benefits in that.
EDIT: After few days of usage I had to get my battery replaced by the old one. May be bad luck with not properly working battery but more probably faik one (runs for 0-10 mins, weird force charging in no OS mode). When they showed me the "new" battery in service it is thinner than the original, does not have the stepped back and thus makes gap between back cover and battery itself - 2mm of medium hard press. So it was like yours - flat design - no additional stepped part. The service was not authorised service but looked legit and had plenty of good reviews. So it's my experience of flat lg battery replacement stated as original.
Be noticed that all of below information are not yet confirmed.
I discovered the difference between original and fake since searching trough forums and own experience. :victory:
Design od LG BL-T7 battery has not changed ever since. Still the only one with the stepped back side. Should look like the battery on right side of these pictures, otherwise it is nor factory replacement (aka fake):
http://i.imgur.com/2Yt8cvDh.jpg
http://i.imgur.com/hkVpceYh.jpg
http://i.imgur.com/XtEH5AQh.jpg
The main difference is in litle bulk under printing "BL-T7", arrows under the NOM icon and next right is noticeable differnce in T in that symbol, fonts differ and last letter of chineese behind the manufactured day,...
There is a believe that non-original batteries are not that bad at all, only they have poor wiring and connection port which often makes them behave unexpectedly.

Note that if you face any issue regarding charging since these batteries are years old, then feel free to contact the seller and you will get a replacement.
I bought that same battery. It had no glue residue and the year was rubbed off.
It looks genuine but I won't be able to tell until my replacement screen arrives and I can install them both at the same time.
I bought a 3950mah high capacity battery from aliexpress (so clearly not geniune but for the money I decided to give it a shot). it works fine, got my Screen on time from 2-3h to 5h or more. However, when charging, it will charge up to 95-99% and then, while still plugged in, go down to 83% and stay there. Then when I unplug it and start using it, it first goes back up to 90-95% before going back down like normal. Has anyone experienced something like this and/or know a way to fix it? I tried some battery calibration methods but no luck. Also, since the phone rarely reaches 100% (indicated) it doesnt always reset the screen on timer properly... this makes it difficult to keep accurate track of its performance. when it does work 5h seems to be the usual value.
That one sounds weird.
Definitely not normal.
Only solution is to buy another and test it or return the one you haveDefinitely and try another one

I have contacted the seller but so far they are not replying... I tried the Ampere and 3C Battery monitor the check the voltages and currents while charging. At first, I thought the phone showed the wrong percentage as it was not calibrated for the high capacity (so 80% was actually 120% relative to the standard battery capacity) but it showed that the phone was actually discharging once it reached full charge. Also, my assumption of it being 120% was wrong since the percentage probably comes from the cell voltage. So, next I checked the cell voltage using both ampere and 3C but the values were all over the place, jumping from 4.36 to 4.2 and back. this made no sense. The battery has a top voltage of 4.37 when fully charged so maybe the battery monitoring software of the phone is confused by this?
In any case I will wait for the seller to get back to me and if the problem becomes worse I will get a new battery to test out.
Thanks for the update.
Keep us posted on how it goes.

Hello guys, I am looking to buy new battery for my 2 and half years old g2. So here are my options:
1) Pollarcell - they says it's great battery, but still kinda expensive for a non-oem battery. It would cost me about 25e.
2) OEM LG battery - in LG official service, I have to check it they still got them, price was about 30e if I recall correctly.
3) Some random battery - I guess this is lottery.I can get good or I can get bad battery. There are many brands, and their price is from 8-9 to 15e.
OEM is best choice for sure, but I don't feel like investing 1/3 of phone price in battery, especially cause I don't know how long I will keep that phone. Dunno what to do
Edit: Did anyone tried this battery? It has quite high rating
https://m.aliexpress.com/s/item/32572840069.html#autostay
Beware of Pollarcell batteries I have read cases of burning
Bought my new battery at PhonTrading24 ,
Battery is class and from new production 12/2016 .
fake or original?
I also changed my battery after 3 years at LG service however I have some questions in my mind whether battery is fake or original one. Although new battery has same capacity like old one but it doesn not last like new one ( it lasts almost a day ) Pictures are attached new and old one. What do you think guys?

It looks like the original one and it might well be. But that also means it is not new, as the production of original batteries have stopped several years back. So what you have is probably an unused but ageing battery.
Batteries start degrading the moment they are produced, just that it degrades at a slower rate being unused (depending on temperature it's stored etc), compared to it being actively used everyday.

Battery replacment with higher capacity

Hey everyone,
Just wanted to know if anyone has had any experience with using third party batteries for the N950. Specifically batteries with extended capacity. I have seen a handful of these batteries which say they have a 3600mah capacity over the stock battery capacity of 3300mah. They also say that they are Li-Po over the stock Li-Ion.
I cant post the link due to XDA rules but there are batteries available on Amazon under the title :
Galaxy Note 8 Battery ZURUN 3600mAh Li-Polymer Battery
The battery appears to have good ratings and would be a fitting upgrade for a decayed battery. I'm just asking if anybody with experience would recommend these batteries, are they real(in terms of spec), would the higher capacity effect the device negatively? And most importantly are they safe?
Any help would be appreciated!

Although I have no experience with batteries for the Note 8 as of yet, but from previous experience, I would recommend only official batteries. Even if these non official batteries are the correct mah, they will not have the same amount of cycles, so you will probably go through 2 or 3 of these batteries for the life of the official one.

I have had my Note 8 since the day it came out and I'm still using the same battery and I still get well over 8 hours of usage before I need to recharge it. I only charge it to 90% and I never let it discharge fully it's usually back on the charger whenever it gets near 20%. A friend of mine decided to put a 4,000 mah battery in his Note 8 only to find out that it wouldn't charge to 4,000 and it was dying much much faster than the original battery and it took even longer for it to charge back up so I wouldn't recommend getting aftermarket parts for it.

Huh, as for my device, I got it recently pre owned however the previous owner didn't take anywhere near as much care of my device as it seems your taking care of yours. So the battery capacity is pretty decayed and I've found it hard to get a healthy OEM battery online.
With my current new but unhealthy battery I wouldn't be able to protect it as I would like to by using the charging ranges you do. Tho I do really want to!
So I was thinking a new third party battery could be better than a 'new' oem. But again just another gamble it seems haha.

So I was thinking a new third party battery could be better than a 'new' oem. But again just another gamble it seems haha.
Thanks a lot for your advice!

Ifixit, who are reputable imo, have a link for the official battery . I would advise skipping Amazon/Ebay for it. Although it is €25, it is worth it. (They also sell all the tools you will need for replacing it and all the steps!
