My Defy Battery's almost out. I'm thinking about buying another. The battery is BF5X; However some guys said that Defy can use Atrix 4G battery: BH6X or Milestone 3: BF6X - I don't remember, anyone can confirm that? What about the size?
i think you should go by default one..as it might be having issues afterwards like battery status problem on the status bar ,,,battery not charging etc..
also you can try defy+ battery i think its bigger then the default defy bigger in capacity not size.. size is same as of defy....
best of luck!

It is an extended battery,same size as old battery but has a 1700 mah.Price is $46.95 all inclusive i believe(shipping is included).Lots of good reviews heard about this one.Or you could just use defy + battery.Your call.

Simple question here: I'm tired of getting no good batt life no matter what ROM I flash. The reason is that I use some apps (SeePU, SetVSel, Lookout) who are running all the time, thus taking some precious juice from my phone. I like to have "control" (in this case, it means knowing always how much load is my phone going thru) and safety in my Defy, so simply stop using these apps is not an option.
Since extended batteries are really cheap these days, it came to my mind: there are 2 models of extended batts (except for the Defy+ one): the 2300 mAh one, which has the same size as the original, and the 3500 mAh one, which is bigger, but comes with a proper rear case for it. Now, what would be better: keep the phone's forms and water resistance, using the 2300 one and keeping the original batt always with me, or go for the bigger one, leaving the original batt always home (with more than double mAh, I wouldn't need it around anyway)?
Plus, for people who already use them, do these batteries actually add uptime to the phone? I mean, I know Defy+ users have trouble with the ROMs made for the original Defy mainly because the firmwares don't recognize the batt correctly, so wouldn't an extended battery suffer of the same issue?
Last, but not least: do you guys know where can I find a 2300 mAh battery these days? Every eBay auction I find is already closed due to stock running out, only 3500 mAh models are available.
I think you'll be better buying an original spare battery to carry around...those cheap batteries are never good, the real mAh is never the same as advertised, if not lower than the original battery
also the chems inside are probably cheap stuff 'cause their lifespan is significantly shorter
always hope someone will prove me wrong!
Either get a real Motorola battery or get the 3500mAh. It's not possible to fit 2300mAh of battery capacity in the original space, Li-ion does have its limits.
i wonder if Defy still has waterproof capability if using thick battery
The defy + battery issue is down to different type of battery (chemical)
The big battery looses the water resistance, so I would choose a second original battery as the quality is good, best battery you can get that's genuinely better is the mugen 1900 the cheap ones dont last
teamwork makes the dream work
Personally I got myself an external USB battery

No, the original batt cover has a different design which provides the water resistance. Generic covers does not provide this protection

New case for extended battery addon
Hi,
Considering getting an 3500mAh extended battery from ebay.
I have a case for the Defy with standard battery and it's protected the phone from a few drops.
With the extended battery - the old case won't fit- I'm thinking a silicone protector would be good. Has anayone adapted a case/ protector for their Defy using extended battery?
Cheers.
I would try original defy+ akku. But don't know if defy will accept this?
Somebody tested?
Do not go for something that makes your phone bulky since it would not fit in the doc

Hi,
It is good to upgrade the phones battery :goodIf it is a original Moto battery, since battery leaks from low quality battery would kill your phone).
If the new battery would make your phone bulkier then it would make the phone not to fit in the docks available for this phone. Also changing the original battery cover might make the phone less water-resistant.
Cheers,
Vic
When I tried charging the phone I see the led turns it to red and displaying a questing mark. I am on stock firmware DFP-231 (not rootable)
No problem with 1700 mAh battery
Can any one help ?

Extended batteries will never show their true % .... first 100 % of original battery then from 0 their work starts , so no miui or cm7 here

The extended battery uses different tech to your 1700 so any reg defy build will work with it tho may display wrong stats, then when you use the original defy plus battery you will need to flash battery fix on the reg defy roms
Unfortunately you'll have to pick one of your two battery's and enjoy or keep flashing fixes when you swap the battery

Defy Plus & 3500mAh battery
Where did you buy that battery? I have only found batteries with that capacity for normal defy but not for defy+.
Is there any new fixes for it on CM10?
My Defy Battery's almost out. I'm thinking about buying another. The battery is BF5X; However some guys said that Defy can use Atrix 4G battery: BH6X or Milestone 3: BF6X - I don't remember, anyone can confirm that? What about the size? Won't they fit Defy?
I've already tried Defy+'s HF5X but I still need a higher capacity battery
Not a chance!
nope!!

you will have issues with the rom not recognizing the new batt
hey all.
i am considering buying as new battery for my defy. the one i have is about a year and a bit old and batteries do tend to wear. i have come across a few on ebay that are higher capacity than original and am wondering if they will charge to full.

i have a defy red lense and am currently running cm7 kang by fuzz i think it is (great job mate by the way love it it is silky smooth). i am considering giving the cm9 rom a try out shortly so would also like it to work with that rom.
so will these charge up to their full capacity or will they not? if anyone knows before i take the plunge can they let me know please
thanks
I've got a 3500 capacity one it charges to 100% then runs down to 0% but then stays alive for an extra day I've got rid of battery icon just wish I can get rid of flashing red light and the warning on lockscreen. If your rooted you can get battery calabrator from market. It works but not for the massive batteries. Hope this helps
defy cm7
cheers mate exactly the answered i was looking for. will get one of those above then probably the 2400 one or whatever it is. that will do me i all i need is an extra 12 hours or so. i may even go and get one of the external batteries as well as a new internal battery as that would be good for all my usb devices. cheers again bud.
No worries glad I could help.
defy cm7
Does anyone think it is possible to create a custom battd.bin which supports the higher capacity? That would be really cool
Might be an idear!
I will have a think about it.
Sent from my GT-I9100 using xda app-developers app
I would support that. I wonder what is required to change the battd file for larger batteries

Hi,
as I found, battery calibration doesn't solve this, even not on the smaller batteries. I use a 1700 mAh HF5X battery in Defy. Somehow it's recognized as 500 mAh, and not charged fully. I have the same issue: battery indicator stays on 1% for a long time.
I tried every fix and kernel I've found but nothing worked yet.
After checking, I think those batteries aren't so good (except perhaps the 3500 one) ... give a look at this thread : http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1828768
More, I checked other seller on ebay and everytime the same, whatever the seller : all the bad comments are about "high capacity" batteries ...
Good luck to find a good one
Hi, I need a new battery as mine is worn, I need to know if I buy a higher capacity battery (ie mugen or defy + battery, not fakes) on my green lense defy will it cause me issues? If I flash a defy + rom I lose camera as I am green, so can I safely use a higher capacity battery and still get a full charge out of it?

It should work if you flash battery fix in froyo kernel ROMs

If the mugen is for MB525 then you need no fix.
For the Defy+ battery, I think you need to flash the battery fix that was going around in the Epsy CM threat (as he has no Defy+, he used the Defy batt and the Defy+ users had to flash a fix.)

Yes, so even though its a bigger capacity it will read right?

I won't vow but I thought the Defy+ battery works with the battery fix from here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1795647
There were some that tried. It somewhere in the Q&A
The mugen 1700mah will work. It is a 3.7 lithium ion battery. Same as the MB525 (BF5X) one.
The one from the MB526 (HF5X) is a 3.8 lithium ion polymer battery.
The 'replacement' battery's from ebay with stated to work with Defy+ are all for Defy so a nogo for the Defy+ users.
I have just bought a Defy+ battery for my Defy (green lens). The problem is that you never know how much battery is left. It goes from 100% to 1% in a few hours and stays in that 1% until it is fully drained (10 hours or more).
For what I have read it is impossible to have green lens camera and the Defy+ battery working at the same time:
- If you use froyo kernel camera will work but the battery won't.
- If you use gingerbread kernel it will be the other way round.
So for now I prefer a working camera without knowing how much battery is left.
The only silver lining I have found is in this thread (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1627631). It is for the photon 4g but it might be possible to make it work in our Defy.
Weren't there defy+ users on froyo kernel? (By flashing the bl5 eclair or BL6 froyo)
Are you sure you have the right battd and lib?
But I don't know for sure of course because I don't own a defy+ nor battery.

I don't see why a Defy+ user would have a Froyo kernel, neither the camera nor the battery will work.
I have tried another battd/libbattd but it gives a question mark inside the battery meter.

Sucks.
Camera does work AFAIK.
They did it when CM9 began and epsy did a couple of defy only roms and some defy+ users couldn't wait.
And they can return to GB kernel just by flashing it in recovery.
Could be the battery doesn't work on froyo kernel. Sucks a bit for Green lens defy users.

There is no real fix for battery on red lens defy+. It might show you full charge but it will never go more than 4.15V and it used to be 4.35V in stock rom.
