I have always thought that the amperage of a battery made no difference to the voltage due to the factory adjusting the internal resistance of the battery. Amperage I understood was measured in current, however, which does have an effect on overall voltage.
Recall:
V = I * R
With electronics, it is my understanding that the mAh battery doesn't matter as long as the voltage is the same, although you'd get less longevity out of a 1650 mAh vs a 1440 mAh.
Thus, I believe this battery would work. Thoughts? The part number matches exactly what was in my Nexus S and the batteries look identical. If this is the case, save yourself some money buy not searching Nexus S battery and instead searching ab653850ca in eBay instead of paying $30-$40 for a new/replacement Nexus S battery when they are the same thing.

Thoughts? Both are 3.7 volts.
mAh is a unit of electric charge, not current (notice the 'h' making it milli-Ampere-hour). So, yes, a lower mAh battery will definitely work, but it will last less time.
Also (just trying to explain better) a battery is not a "powered resistor", so the relationship between its voltage and its current is not just ohm's law (the one you recall). More specifically, the 3.7 volts is due to the chemical reaction inside the battery and is more or less fixed (although it decreases as the battery discharges). The current flowing is basically a function of the load of the battery, so it changes according to what parts of the phone are working at that moment. The output resistance of the battery is a formal way of describing how close the battery is to an ideal voltage source and is not related to the amount of current it's actually providing.
Sorry if I was not clear enough, it's late here!
Missed the h. Not sure why, I see mA all the time and I just missed the h. Interesting and helpful. Thanks man. Clear to me.
That's strange, if it is the same model (AB653850CA), why is it only 1440mAh? But I'm sure it will work.
All I know is that this Samsung Moment battery I got off of Amazon for $6 is almost as good as my stock battery.

The 1440mAh batteries work perfect, I have 2 of them. While you are at it, buy a wall charger to charge them in so they will charge to 100%. Having 2 spares means you will always have a FULLY charged battery to pop in and never have to tether the phone to a charger. Plus you get 2 to 4 extra hours of use.
Very informative!

What do you mean by that ? That the 1440 mAh battery only gives you 2-4 hours ? I doubt it lasts so little time. I hope it doesn't.
No he means charging the batteries in an external charger gives them a more complete charge as I find the same thing. I've got 2 genuine batteries and a third on the way and the external charger charges them to 100% whereas the phone only charges them to around 95%. The batteries charged in the external charger last longer than those charged in the phone.
Hard to know when you're legitimately getting a battery with "more capacity" though, so I just assume I'm always buying another stock battery anyways.

Oh, I got it, thanks !
Anyway, for 6$, I think I'm going to buy one, too. Coupled with the 2nd battery dock, it should work flawlessly.
Hey guys,
I went ahead and ordered one of these too. I noticed that the Watts/hour is 5.55 on the Nexus S battery but on the battery I ordered (but have yet to get in) it says 5.3. Is this going to make a difference outside of how long the battery lasts?
If you guys buy one of these 1440s report back with what you've found out.
And if this is a success, then please urge XDA to sticky this thread or put this on the main page. Paying $50 for a second/replacement Nexus S battery is outrageous, and if this saves my fellow XDA members $45, more people should know about this. :]
UPDATE:
Looks like turbodroid already ordered these and said they work great! Thanks guys! Thank me if this was helpful.
I am on travel very often and my last experience with my Desire was that when working on the phone with no possibility of charging it, I was left with very little or non battery late afternoon. Any suggestion for a good Travel Battery Pack anyone? One extra charge will do. Thanks
Probably better off getting a spare battery, and charge it up, most easiest way i think instead of carrying aa batteries and charge cases, leads etc.
Just look on ebay and click cheapest first.

i use solar charger it has built in 3000Ma battery you can also charge it from pc or adapter and ready to go with extra power. Have it from ebay for $29
Did anyone test any spare batteries from ebay? Thought of getting some, but not sure if it is worth it or not (the charge should at least be as high as the stock battery's) .
Got this few days ago from a china online retailer. Good construction and nice pocketable size. Slightly heavier than LG2X & about 20% thicker. Comes with 0.5A & 1A USB output.
So far, on 0.5A output, no in-charger lock ups yet - which I do get from some AC chargers.
Priced upwards of US$35. Google for "5000mah Power Bank".
will LG come out with an extended battery for the Optimus 2X ?
If they made 2 models. one like we have with a 1500 battery and one that is 1.2-1.4X thicker with lets say a 3000 battery I think almost everybody would choose the slightly thicker 3000 battery model.
These devices are small enough as it is, they should now stop trying to make them smaller as they are surely limited by the screen size, and make them last longer.
I had a Del Axim X50v a few years back that I brought an extended battery and battery cover for, this actually made the device feel better in the hand.
I think the future is not far... for batteries that are either running on gas or like these ones which can be fully charged in less than 3 min. http://green.autoblog.com/2011/03/23/new-battery-technology-electric-vehicles-recharge-minutes/

Well I order mine, but the version with 1 charger and 2 spare batteries (3 batteries is just plain greedy) We'll see how long they take to get here.

Does anyone know of a portable battery pack that charges at over 500mah? all of the battery packs Ive seen are around 500mah and that doesn't seem to be enough to even charge the G2X coming from my old charger.

Only tested twice from over 70% to full on 0.5A. Took longer than using AC adapter. Tried it once on 1A but got a bit hot quite quickly, so I switched over to 0.5A. Also, it takes a while to charge the pack itself from partial empty to full on 1A AC adapter - so I am guessing the 5000mah claim is reasonably accurate.
I bought this item from DealExtreme.

New Extended Battery "possibly" 3'500 mAh + External Charger - "Update 10.16.2011"
Just recieved my new extended battery with extended back door for my Milestone 1. Bought it from here:
www.ebay.com/itm/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=180686832371&ssPageName=ADME:L:OC:CH:1123
It took a good month to arrive from china to europe, but it's finally here.
It weighs 47 gramms vs 27 gr for the standard BP6X and is twice as thick.
Can't say much about the accuracy of the amperage as I just fully recharged it with the external charger I ordered from here:
www.ebay.com/itm/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=250859367106&ssPageName=ADME:L:OC:CH:1123
As you can see it's quite cheap and although ordered on the same day as the battery, it arrived 3 weeks before..! (About 10 days after my order). It's working very good and sports also a usb port (5.2 Volts and 800 mA output) at the end for standard charging. I haven't tried yet which of the battery or the device will be charged first, though. Will report about it later.
I'll also report about real life battery time in a few days, after testing.
I'm still very happy with my good ol' milestone 1 (european droid 1), and although it's a little short on memory, latest CM 7.1 developpements make it very fast and usable.
Edit: Just tried to charge through the usb port of the charger, it doesn't work. I guess 800 mA is not enough, had the same issue with other car/home chargers. I think motorola's ones have 1A output. Even my Galaxy Tab's isn't powerfull enough... What a Milestone Beast!
Edit 2: Battery has reach 10% after 31 hours of standard use. As I though, real intensity most be around 2800 mAh and not 3500 mAh as stated. But it's still around 2x what we can expect from the original one. I run my Milestone on CM7.1 ROM and 1800MHz network.
Edit 3: I'm experiencing the "1% battery left" effect of some other devices' extended batteries for about 9 hours now! So until now It's been working for more than 40h. I tried to switch the phone of and back on again, but still 1% left and red led blinking (on some devices it makes it measure the value of the second cell, I guess, and brings it back to about 90%. Don't ask me why... It happens on my Dell Streak 5). I hadn't had this with my Xperia X10, where the energy left of my extended battery was accurate.
Final edit: worked for a good 48 hours. I must add that I put my phone during night time in Airplane mode (about 16 hours, but with some wifi surfing).

which charger do u use for charging the new battery through ur device's standardnusb port?
I charged it first with the external charger, as I think it's the best way to be sure that the whole battery is thouroughly and fully charged. But since first charge I also recharged it through the device's microusb port, which seems to work fine.
Since my first post, I also recieved my second extended battery:
www.ebay.com/itm/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=190572457987&ssPageName=ADME:L:OC:CH:1123
It looks almost the same as the first one, except the font used on the sticker is smaller and the price is cheaper.
I'm testing its power time right now, expecting it to be close to the one of its siebling.
I had also ordered a standard sized 1870 mAh battery from here:
www.ebay.com/itm/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=150585920125&ssPageName=ADME:L:OC:CH:1123
Problem with this one is it doesn't show battery status on the phone, as the mAh level can't be determinated by the phone. Will check with the seller what can be done (problem only with my battery?)
I saw another standard 1800 mAh battery for sale ($ 10.-), maybe will give it a try, seller seems more serious.

Some updates about my second extended battery: I now have had a full discharging/charging cycle (in the phone itself) and it seems that the battery is now calibrated. My updated "Battery Monitor Widget" shows me now 2885 mAh for the full capacity and the phone gives apparently the right power status. Real life use time seems the same as my first extended battery, about 48 hours.

How can you even put your Milestone in your pocket?? The battery door looks HUGE
Right now I'm using this battery:
http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=130579480018&ssPageName=ADME:L:OC:GB:1123
it has cca 80% of the original battery capacity, however it is much better then the other chinese battery I've owned in milestone, (I think) it supports the 1% mod, and it did cost me $1.89 delivered to my place.
I always take the old original battery and the dying chinese battery in my bag in case this new dies. I will get probably the same power-on hours count as with this extended battery yet with smaller package.
I just order one like this... thank's for the review

Yes, please do post some updates and reviews.
I am only aware of 3300mAh [HLI-A855XL] by Mugen for Motorola Milestone which have good reviews.
it works fine
this has been real hell finding information about whether this http://www.ebay.com/itm/Powerocks-p...y_Chargers&hash=item3cc55ca8b0#ht_4645wt_1163 is compatible with my Motorola defy+ (note custom roms, Switching from time to time, Currently on WIUI ICS) and other information such as how long does it last and etc.
has anybody used this?
is it worth the money and how does it translate to battery % on my defy+.
any other feedback?
and maybe other recommendations (with that price region)
and is there a thing like this that uses AA batteries, if so, how many will it take to charge my Defy+
thanks ahead
EDIT:
what's the proper name for that thingy? because this thing has wayyyy too many names,
power bank, external battery, portable charger, portable battery, extra battery. and many many many more!!! this is why it's complete hell finding information.
what's the real and most proper name for it?
Just a single word 'AVOID'
i don't usually like to be disrespectful, but.
you sir, have convinced me with your long list of arguments and good points of reason to support your advice.
could you please explain, why?
Ok. Here it goes.
I have used these chargers long back, I think around a year back. It barely charges 15% of your mobile battery (I was using a Samsung Galaxy Apollo at that time which had a 1500mah battery) with a single AA cell which I think is totally not worth.
I hope this is enough for you to get a fair idea
so, you're saying that the Portable chargers that use AA batteries are bad, or are you saying all these portable chargers are bad and charge too little?
if you're saying that all the portable chargers are bad and charge too little, then i would have to say that it depends on how much mAh the charger can hold.
say i get the 2600 mAh charger to charge my Defy+ (think around 1700 mAh) when it's completely out, i think that i will charge fully at least once (say around 1000 mAh at MOST! is lost because of the charging procedure)
i'm only talking about the AA battery based chargers. I don't have any idea about other powerpacks as I've never used it.
1 AA battery for 225 mAh!?!?!?!? that's awesome!!! would be great for camping trips, you get like 12 AA batteries (or more, depends on how long you plan to be away from charging your phone normally) and you can even play in the evening or even watch porn if you got Data signal!
i'm still probably going for the normal one, and maybe i'll get an extra charger that uses AA batteries in-case i go camping somewhere.
can people please give feedback on whether it's good enough? why are there only 2 posters?
I think that it works just seen a duracell one in a store near me wich holds 4 AA batts, i think on buying it and fillit with some 4 NiMh AA acumulators rated at 2700 mAh each, just think about it thats 10800 mAh in a portable charge, that will charge my Defy battery at least 5 times even with an extra burning that the charge does.

NiMHs are 1,2V which means, 2700mAh hold 2700mAh * 1,2V= 3,24 Wh which is the same as 11,664 kJ
The Defy battery holds 1500mah at 3,7V --> 5,5 Wh = 19,98 kJ
Taking efficiency in count you might be able to load your Defy with two fully charged NiMHs once, but i`d rather expect that two are not enough.
As for the that eBay-offer: The voltage is given as 5,1V. With 2600mAh that would mean 13,2 Wh. But i rather believe they are stating the capacity at 3,7V for marketing reasons. That would mean 9,62 Wh. That would allow you to recharge about one and a half time.

So someones after advice on portable power when away from the mains?
Ive been using a New trent imp1000 to keep things going, its a li-ion rechargable powerpack with a capacity of 11000mah and it keeps my Defy going for 4 days.
I also have a total of three batterys for my defy, and a universal li-ion external charger, called a cam caddy, although its designed to charge camera batterys from a 5 volt supply it also quite happily charges up the battery for my defy as well.
So for extreme use i can have a battery in use in my phon, plus a spare with me, and back at base ( or just overnight) a battery on charge in the cam caddy.
If im in an area with access to mains i will take the imp1000 and its charger to top up where and when i can.
I also have a universal USB charger with swapable plugs that fit all major power outlets worldwide.
And to top it all off a USB AA battery charger that will ( slowly) charge up 4 AA batterys form a solar panel, or from a USB input ( faster) , or output 5V through the USB out put port.
This little set up has kept me going for 14 days with no access to mains power ( except for a few bits here and there - 20 minutes at a bus station/railway station and so on) , keeping my phone going (defy) a high powered AA cree LED torch, a camera ( via spare battery+cam caaddy) and an mp3 player. the trick is careful battery management - on the defy turn off everything when not in use, except the ability to receive calls and number your batterys for ID, and the same for cameras etc etc.

i think 11000 mAh is a little too much for me, it may be good for camping trips and etc, but i don't think i'm gonna buy something that (probably) big and (probably) expensive. most of the use of the external charger will be when i'm out with friends for a long time, or say after school i spontaneously decide to go out with friends before getting home (unfortunately a 1 hour drive from friends city to mine) so i need an a portable charger so i won't get bored on the way back, my battery lasts a school day, if i go somewhere that is not home after school, it won't last.
about the extra batteries, are those original from motorola? if not, are they as good as the original? are they worth getting?
The batterys are official motorla ones, as i b ought a cheap un official one and that had issues ( wouldnt show the charge level on the defy )
The battery pack is a "new trent imp1000" which costs £30 from amazon.
I also have a dock for the defy in which my phone usualy sits, at the back of this dock is a slot for an extra battery, left overnight this will charge both my Defy ( with battery inside) and the extra battery in the slot, this is plugged into a dektop pc where some of the USB sockets are still powered up ( giving out 5v) even when the desktpop p.c is off
supdealer offers nice portable power bank

Guys,
If you really want true power on the go, buy a YOOBAO power pack, the 11200 mAh one.
It is really a beast and is really charging a defy several times before going empty.

Yes, all iPhone compatible USB-Chargers are compatible to our Defy and other new mobiles.
Why? EN_62684: Common External Power Supply (EPS)
Why would I use Li-ion instead of AA Cells (NiCd,NiMH or NiZn)?
Higher Energy Density!
Another benefit of Li-ion is the discharging charakteristika (sorry for german captions).
Hello,
I m looking for a battery pack which would feet with my new lg g2. I nearly bought an Anker but their custom service told none of their batteries were compatible with the G2.
I found some clues that the Trent power pack ultra do work with it but I cannot find a way to deliver it to France...
Does someone has a valid battery pack which working well with the gorgeous G2 battery? I am not looking for a case because to be able to use it to charge some other stuff like an iPad.
Thanks.
Compatible? It's just a charger, right? It just provides a ready supply of power at a certain voltage, with a max amperage. So I'm sure everything will work. If you want max charging speed, pick a 2A max current model

I saw few comments of users telling that their phone stop charging 3-4 seconds after plugging in the charger. Anker even remove every reference to LG G2 on their website, some battery page mention of "not compatible with G2" cf: Anker 2nd Gen Astro3 12000mAh
It s what made me suspicious, and I have started looking for real feedback on battery pack with G2.
I m guessing g2 with his gorgeous battery have some kind of protection circuit which does not accept low current charger or stuff like that.

Seems odd to me. I've been using my phone with cheap ebay chargers, which admittedly gave me pretty slow charging, but they've always worked. Sorry, I can't be of any help then, maybe someone else knows.
I have a RavPower 10400mAh and it works great with my lg g2. I don't know why Anker doesn't have any chargers that fit with g2 as most of the phones in the market has either a cable like apples' or a unified like most of the other phones.

it really differs, I mean, some were absolutely crap, but most of them are able to give atleast 500mA, concidering its a 3000mA battery, that would be 6 hours. In comparison, the stock charger would manage to do it in well under two hours. But charging rate is something I think the manufacturer should provide in the spec sheet.
If you have a Verizon model, you might run into problems as third party chargers have been reported to be very slow.
Look HERE . They have some awesome deals.
30,000MAH is that even possible?

I checked it out. It says
"Battery actual capacity:13800mAh"
Which is still fairly much. It isn't exactly uncommon for chinese manufacturers to exaggurate

they might be accidentally adding an extra zero at the end. HAHAHAHAHA! :laugh:
I sprung for a mophie powerstation XL (it helps I work for a large photo/electronics retailer and got a great discount on it) and am very happy with it. It's a little big and weighs about a pound, but fits in my bag and it can charge my G2 and my N7FHD multiple times. I'm going to Vegas for a week and know the 12,000 mAh battery is plenty to cover my devices and my wife's SGSIII.
I've got an Anker Astro 5600mAh and it charges my G2 perfectly fine. Sure, its at the slower speed, 1A, but a charge is a charge.
Sometimes it cant charge with external charger because of the charger and phones electronic talk together and find some reason why not to charge. This problem is very usual with laptops and laptop chargers. I had this problem once with phone too and the easiest what helped me was to use another microusb cable, the one with only charging ports, not the data ports.
I use the anker 2nd gen 6000mAh and I have always a good charge time

Try the RAVPower external battery pack, I have their 14,000mAh and it can charge two devices at the same time. It did help me out of emergencies many times.
I would still like to know why its not compatible. I've been using the 1st gen anker astro (10,000 mah model) without issue untill it has decided to die hence now looking to replace it.
I also use the Anker 40w wall (also using power QI) charger with my G2 without a problem...
have raikko 5200 MAh, have it for about 3 years (bough it for my old optimus 2x originally) and it still works. I think the capacity is little lower now, but still great results after long time. I can charge approx one and quarter times.
i have 3 diferent external battery packs. (im playing ingress)
My advice ... By a anker of amazon. thay are by far the best chargers and the price is realy good.
I had the same issue when I was going to buy an Anker battery pack as well.
I think I'll probably get a RavPower battery pack. Is it best to use the 2amp slot to charge the LG G2?
Noontec Polo II
I have a Noontec Polo II 5600mAh battery and it charges my phone (D802) perfectly fine. On 2A out it takes 2h10m from 0 to 100% (phone turned on, very very light usage during the charge process)
