i'm going to replace my current LG G2 battery.... When replacing it with the new how will i know that the new battery is original or fake?????
Just get it from LG directly.Hopefully that should be not a fake.

How do you buy it directly from lg?
Sorry for reviving a dead thread but I was looking for a replacement battery for the LG G2 also and had called LG to get a price. They will NOT sell the battery instead. They say you must send the device in and they will not even give an estimate over the phone, rather, they will give a price once the phone IS IN THEIR HANDS. So you're basically screwed if they decide to charge you $200 to replace the battery and the representative could not give any ball park figures at all.
Original battery must be 43gramm, fake around 33gr. In Russia Official LG service can replace originall battery for 35$ with work.
With new battery my phone now can play around 7h30m 720p video on full brightness. With old almost 4h30m. You can see difference.

I got a battery from a UK Shop, which resulted without logo. Looked like fake to me, although the shop has good feedback.
The battery for its second day of usage is keeping very good life. So far I have 3 hour sot and 44% battery.
So, does Lg sells battery without lg logo on the battery?

No they don't. They actually don't make batteries for the G2, so any batteries you see for sale with the LG logo are either from "decommissioned" original phones which date back to 2013 or from used phones. So, in the end, you may be better off...

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.

Batteries without LG logo (unbranded or 3rd party) manufactured 2015 and on could be better than original (definitely better than unpopular fake ones) as new original batteries are from 2013/2014 (told to be "decommissioned or used" - not confirmed).
One thing I've noticed receiving my battery today is, if you look at the 4 cubes on the right with the icons, the original ones have lines at the back of the icon, where as the fake/non-genuine ones have the line in front of the icon (last icon).
In pictures from the previous post it also confirms this.

I ordered this one
http://www.ebay.com/itm/281818855917?_trksid=p2057872.m2749.l2649&ssPageName=STRK:MEBIDX:IT
Battery life seems to be great to far 5+hrs SOT, mind you I've only had it for 2 days.
My battery came with the tools you linked but not in the battery package box, just in some electrostatic foil.
I've bought this one:
http://www.cellephone.de/en/cell-ph...y-li-polymer-for-lg-g2-replaced-bl-t7/a-4757/
I used polarcell batteries in my previous phones and have great experience with them. I didn't want to risk with mostly fake chinese batteries, so this was a safe bet. I charged it last night so i still have to fully discharge it yet. The original battery was almost 2 years old, and it started to loose its capacity. Not too much, but it was noticeable and there is the fact that I wanted to give new life to an ageing phone
The replacement went ok, with the hardest part being the removing the old battery which was glued pretty good to the base of the phone.

Hey,
I purchased a battery on Ebay for like 8$.
Shipped from Germany and claims to be genuine.
My tests:
Weight- Old genuine battery 33 grams, New battery 35 grams.
The stickers probably weigh a little bit so the battery supposed to weigh even less than 33.
Voltage- Old is about 4.078V at 100% charge, New is about 4.123V at 100% charge.
I don't really see a huge improvment in battery life although my old one 3.5 year old one.. Yet it's not worse for sure..
The old one has to be genuine since I got it with my device from a big cell phone provider store.
I uploaded pictures of them both. My old one (with stickers on it on the first image) and the new one (with the "original" sticker).
Thank you.
PS: scanning the QR on the old one gives "GH43-03441A+EB575152VU".
Scanning the new ones QR gives its serial number instead.
German quality should be good.

"Should be".. But how is it in my case?
The seller also sells these batteries from Spain too.. So I dont know how it's done and how "German" are they..
Anyhow they are made in Korea.. So it's doesn't really matters.
Do the states and looks seem ok?
i've already had 3 batteries, the stock battery, then a polarcell and now a Anker, and as far as i can see i need to recharge every evening, so i can't say the autonomy is improving!
However, since i run CM rom, i feel that the battery consumption is huge, whenever i browse the internet while on 3g!

Hey,
Thanks for the comment and trying to help.
But TBH I didn't really get the point in your words and how it answers any of the questions.
Hey,
The one thing that's really throwing me off here is in the 3rd to last picture, which shows the top of the battery - 3 small grooves instead of 2.
To compare and see whether there is any variation I did a check with both my S3 batteries and they're identical at the top. I can't get hold of my mother's Galaxy S right now so I can't compare how her batteries look (one was bought recently and the other was from 2010).
However I'm thinking that a genuine battery would look identical at the top as well.
Hope that helps, but someone with a better knowledge of these batteries will be able to tell you more.

Hi there,
I'm in New Zealand and my battery looks exactly like your original, made in china etc.
and has the 3 patches on the bottom edge.
your new battery looks close enough to me, it looks good, it fits the phone and it works.
the question I see is for $8 does it matter if its a fake?
(not really helpful in identifying a fake, just my opinion)

i've had my share of batteries, and they are all the same as far as battery life in real conditions is concerned!
The interesting part in your pictures is in fact the manufacturing date! Since it reads that it was manufactured in 2014, maybe the differences come from a manufacturing process that has changed (improved?) over time. At the very least you could consider yourself lucky that they did not ship you a 2010 battery, because i don't think batteries do age well.

Hey mate,
Did you mean "the buttom" insted of "the top"?
Because if you are talking about the picture with the buttom of the batterires where you can see 2 patches on one and 3 on the other, then it's the buttom of the battery.
The one with 3 patches is the original one and the one with 2 is the new one.
Thanks for your comment.

That's what I thought, that the proccess might have changed or something.. Maybe just different factories make different looking batteries (small changes)..
Who knows?
I dont believe it's going to explode or anything.. Unless it ain't as good of a fake inside of the battery..
Thanks again

Why is your battery so worn out? lol
And about the poor brod, fakes come in all kinds of shapes and qualities.. Who knows what kind of battery she bought..
Plus I dont think batteriess just tend to explode for no reason.. Extra heat would be a good sign for a risk of explosion.. As long as the battery is cool as the original and works as the original, I don't see any reason why it would do any damage.
I just want to find out if the battery is real cuz it's interesting to me. I wont throw it away if it isn't. It works just fine and cool.
Thanks

Why don't you simply ask the vendor to attach the guaranty of Samsung to the package. This is the only way you will know for sure if it is the real deal.
As far as i am concerned for things like that i always go for the real deal (i.e avoid Chinese products at all costs) even if it means paying an extra buck, because you know i don't have no spare legs!

I dont know.. I think that if Ebay sellers had any papers considering the battery they would add it.. I dont think they have any..
And all products are made in china.. Doesn't matter how much you pay for them.. You can't avoid it.
Again, batteries dont explode without a warning and genuine ones are not safe from exploding either..
The G2 is over 2 years old now and still kicking for a lot of us, but the battery life has gotten pretty poor. I think a lot of us would be interested in buying a new OEM battery (seems like it is the same for all models) but there's a lot of fakes out there.
If you know where to buy an OEM battery for a reasonable price please post here, maybe with price+shipping.

Extreme overheat and battery drain due to ageing
Got mine from Etradesupply on Amazon.
Works just like new ...which means insane"this phone just won't die" battery times again
Mine almost 1.5 years-old with custom rom, battery is still enough for 1 day, sometimes even more. No big change comparing to what I got at the beginning, so I guess battery is still fine.

Please note the reviews are 50/50. Some good some bad. I got a good one from them that was new and shipped very fast.
I'd email them and confirm you're getting a new one that's been tested before you purchase. That way you won't have problems
hey everyone i can't manage to remove all the screws to change the battery, any tips?

Hey guys. I think I understand what's going on with these batteries.
It's hard to distinguish between true oem vs cheap aftermarket.
My good battery died last week and won't charge.
Now I'm also in the same boat.
Like replacement screens, we also need a good source for batteries. Wish LG sold direct
I'm looking to replace the battery in my N5x. Amazon and eBay have plenty of listings for OEM batteries but many seem sketchy and I assume they're fakes. Does anyone know where we can reliably buy legit LG batteries? Are there any reputable sellers? I would consider a 3rd party manufacturer provided that it has a reputation for quality and is not just selling re-labled knock-offs.

If I were you I would try a top-rated seller on ebay for a good chance that the battery is genuine or brand new. If something goes wrong, you can ask for a refund. But this one seems just fine for me and it doesn't cost so much to take a risk. http://www.ebay.com/itm/New-Origina...325604?hash=item4d5576b864:g:JL4AAOSwhQhY14qc Edit: I bought this item before a month to replace my battery after 2 years of use and its great!Works fine and it is genuine I can assure you about it.
With positive reviews, I guess you could give it a try.

Months ago I was referred to this website. Please note I've no experience with them, but I was referred to them from this forum.
I ended up buying the Beltron OEM compatible on eBay. If you're not getting OEM (most "OEM" batteries sold online appear to be fake), at least get one with some sort of brand name with a reputation to protect.
https://www.amazon.com/dp/B01MQZV9ZV/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_apap_BmuxUqJ485hWz
In any case I'm quite happy with the Beltron. Been using it for over a month and lifespan seems just as good as the original. Not having the problem some people have with replacements where the phone won't charge over 50%.

Did you measure it's capacity using something like AccuBattery? I bought this one and its capacity was close to 2300mah when it had to be 2700.
All in all, I'm at a total loss where to buy a battery that doesn't suck

AccuBattery detects it as 2700mah. Performance is still as good azls OEM after 1 month.

I have not tested it but I inspected the label very carefully and it looks legit.

Guaranteed its counterfeit . Suspected mine was fake and unwrapped the battery. Mine was padded with some thick paper to make it thicker. Was really 2200mah.
Google or LG need to sell replacement parts.
Thousands of phones end up in landfills because we can't replace the battery.
Did anyone find any reliable battery seller?

If I were you I would try a top-rated seller on ebay for a good chance that the battery is genuine or brand new. If something goes wrong, you can ask for a refund. But this one seems just fine for me and it doesn't cost so much to take a risk. http://www.ebay.com/itm/New-Origina...325604?hash=item4d5576b864:g:JL4AAOSwhQhY14qc Edit: I bought this item before a month to replace my battery after 2 years of use and its great!Works fine and it is genuine I can assure you about it.

I bought that one and the app accubattery says that the estimated capacity is 1850mah... That's worst than my original 2 years old battery...
I don't recommend it.
I have ordered an original battery from our spare parts suppliers at work.
If I open the nexus already, because of the new 4GB Ram boards, then I exchange the ~3 years old battery with the same.
anyone can't post link with a good battery quality ? Thank's lot.
I allready buy an OEM battery on ebay, but it's bull****.
I can use my phone just 5h00 !

I bought this one and AccuBattery says it's 2700mAh, don't know if that means anything or not in terms of credibility. It looks authentic on the outside ( I noticed looked the same as the one I had when replacing it ) but I did not inspect carefully, haven't properly tested to see how long it lasts but I think it charges fully, I will test it tonight/tomorrow to tell you if it sucks or not.

edit1: The battery charged to 100% , it seems to really be 2700mAh. Testing SoT now, seeing how long it lasts while playing a youtube video at 1080p with maximum brightness.

Any updates after a few days of use?
Hello everyone,
I've enjoyed this watch even if the battery life sucks since the beginning!! especially coming from the Samsung Gear S3, which has never ever lasted less than a day (24 hours).
Since the last Android Wear 2.0 update, the battery life is even worse, although I doubt it's actually linked, probably just a coincidence, but my watch hasn't make it through the afternoon for few weeks now. Barely 6 hours (with EVERYTHING disable, even bluetooth, in Airplane mode).
As of today, the watch will turn on and turn off few seconds later regardless the battery %.
Lg answered nicely that they would take a look at it, and ask $20 for the diagnostic if I don't want them to process the fix!!! And I read online that the battery replacement is $60. I would rather throw it away...
Anyway, I have 2 questions :
Does someone knows where to source this damn battery (BL-S7)?? Out of stock on ebay
Did someone try to fit a Watch Urbane battery (BL-S6) which is 570mAh instead of 430mAh? Or anyone knows this battery size? (I know the connector is different but at this point it's not the biggest issue )
That could help many people meeting issues with this watch... (I'm done with LG!!)
Thanks!!
Ok, I found the answer to my second question, and obviously bigger capacity = battery battery
the BL-S6 (Urban 2nd G) is about 31x27
the BL-S7 (Sport Watch) is about 28x27
So I'm still interested to know where to buy the BL-S7.
Thanks,
Assuming I can find a BL-S7 battery, how easy is it to strip the watch down to change?
My watch is so random with shutdowns and % battery left remaining I am thinking it is all down to the battery after over 18 months daily usage/charging.
Also interested in this.

Disassembly is fairly easy if you take your time and disconnect the connection points. Nothing is really glued in place aside from the bottom cover and the battery to the rest of the chassis. I was able to get to the battery within 20 minutes.
I was also able to find a battery on ebay. We'll see how assembly goes when it's delivered.
That is great, do you have the link to the battery on ebay?
Did you also have the same issues with random shutdowns, not being able to restart unless on the charger etc?
Keep us posted!
Thanks.
I confirm that disassembling the watch is pretty easy and quick, the only thing is you can say goodbye to the waterproof!
@sirdizzle415, does it come with the sealing? Please keep us updated if it does fix the reboot issue and if can even share the link :angel:
I only found 1 used....

I wouldn't trust it to be waterproof anymore, but I'm mostly ok with that. If this watch survives a little while longer with a used $25 battery, I'd call that a win over buying another $300+ watch.
I should be getting the new battery tomorrow, should be pretty quick to put it back together. We'll see what happens.
FYI, My new battery is still in route, so haven't had a chance to test it. It is available brand new on ebay though... If anyone wants to give it a try, the link is here: https://www.ebay.com/itm/Genuine-Wa...1e1230fc8:m:mALL_k1FrV1tgtB_vyDJXTg:rk:1:pf:0
Make sure to select the LG-S7 battery for the Watch Sport.
Successful install of the battery! Watch no longer shuts off, and doesn't need to be on the charger to turn on.
I did try to carefully take my old battery apart. Multiple sources mentioned that it can be repaired by soldering a zero ohm link/resistor between two points. I could not identify them on the BL-S7 battery, so I probably won't be doing that.
All in all, it was a $25 dollar battery for me, so not a bad price to pay to extend the life.
I just ordered the one from ebay! That's great it's back in stock!! @sirdizzle415 Yours was a used one?? how did you glue back the back cover?
I know the watch won't be waterproof anymore, but I'm ok with that too.

My existing seal was mostly intact. The back cover also has tabs that snap it back in place.
Placed my order for a new battery.
There is simply nothing else to replace the Sport with LTE currently...unless you like apples.
I just received the new battery!
Results are not so great so far, the watch does stay alive and do not reboot/ shut down randomly anymore.
But after an hour using it to update app, hard reset it, I lost 40%... I didn't charge the battery yet, so I don't want to be pessimistic (yet) but I think my main issue wasn't the battery.
The watch seems too warm to me, probably something wrong with the hardware, other than the battery.
Plus, damn the watch is so slow with the new version of Android wear, so laggy!!
But true there is no better android watch anyway, which is a shame...
It seems that replacing the battery actually fixed the issue! I'm getting now a day and half of battery with only the bluetooth and NFC activated...
The watch is still slow from time to time, I have to tap the screen several time before it actually wakes up.
But for 20 bucks I guess it was the right move.

I think right around this day, I received a Wear OS update that really hurt the battery life... it's been better since, but I definitely remember a day recently when I got an update and battery life was terrible for me.
Just replaced my battery.
Straight forward job, managed to keep the seal in place too.
Watch started up with what little charge was in the new battery, 16%, which is promising, it wouldn't before, and also all the apps /configuration haven't been lost either.
The only disappointment is that the new battery is not actually new.
Okay it may not be used, but it was dated late 2016, actually slightly older than the battery it replaced, early 2017.
See how I get on with it now....
A new battery is a must!
I'm getting a constant 7am until 11pm, 16 hours off cradle, with 50% still remaining, and that is with LTE on all day, including everything else too!
The combination of new battery, and latest firmware updates has just transformed the usage and battery life.
It is a must upgrade!
Hello, I'm from EU, is there any possibility to get new battery now? I looked on eBay and it looks like all are sold out.. :/

Just after keep watching.
Ebay seller when this thread first started sold out, but got more stock later.
Worth pursueing still very happy after changing my battery.
I heard Nohon is good but I'd like to hear from anyone who has replaced the battery as to which one is good. The one for that model is the bn43 correct?

Have you found anything?I'm in search of a BN43 battery too and i have to say the whole subject is very confusing.For a start you can't really be sure that the so called original batteries are indeed original.There are more than enough excellent reviews about these but most people just "5star-ing" anyone that delivers the item on time and just 1 or 2 actually test the battery.
I heard Nohon is good too, but then i run into a review that says that it's almost as good as the original at start but then degrades rapidly in 2-3 months and its actually worse than the 2 years old original.
Also can anyone share with us how we can identify an original battery?I see some have the s/n in one row and others in two.Has it something to do with the identification of the originality of a battery?Can someone post a photo of his original BN43 or at least BN41 battery?Thanks!

Not sure. I did order a Nohon but haven't received it yet. I saw the good reviews of it but didn't know about the 2-3 month issue. We'll see. With accubattery app it says the capacity of my current battery is about 2800mah. With RR Pie and Franko kernel I'm getting more than enough charge for my needs. I didn't plan on replacing the battery immediately. I wanted the spare (Nohon) in case I wanted to replace it. I'll keep looking for an original if I can find a real one. I may end up getting the redmi Note 8. Not the pro since the pro is mediatek and I won't use one of those again since they don't release source code.

Just to make it clear by review i mean a buyers short comment for the battery.
2800 is too freaking low, maybe in 3-4 charges you'll get better result but i doubt it'll be more than 3300 mah.I think i'll go for an "authentic" and see what happens.Can you post a picture of your original battery since i can't be sure about my battery cause i bought the phone used.

My original battery is 2800 after 2 1/2 years of use. Haven't received my new battery yet. So yes the 2800 is low which is why I'm looking for a replacement. I haven't pulled the original battery yet.
