My phone battery is not keeping up so well, I have a regular Defy Mb525 green lens with standard 1540 mAh battey and i want to buy a new one.
They are quite cheap. I can't find the HF5X (DEFY+ version) in my country but i can get it for about 8$ on amazon which is quite cheap... OEM's but they look ok. Still i can get the regular BF5X 1540 for the same 8$ on Amazon or 12-15$ in my country with warranty and everything.

1. So does it work ?
2. Have you bought batteries from Amazon? Do they work?
Yes it works but you need to do some tweaks which require root access. No experience with OEM batteries from Amazon, the HF5X is still not available in Europe it seems
What tweaks ?
Just take a look in here:

Very interested in these batterys.
Whats the warranty and how long would it take to ship to Aus?
If the picture's anything to go by, this guy's selling the OEM battery on eBay for under $20 including postage.
Doing a search on eBay for "HB4F1" (the battery code) yields many cheaper results, though their photos indicate that they're aftermarket rather than the original.
If you do decide to buy one, I'd suggest you refrain from leaving feedback until you've had a chance to test it for a few days to confirm that you're getting at least the same life as you got with your original battery.
Based on past experience (with other 'phones), you'll never get anywhere near the rated capacity with "no-name" (and in "no-name" I also include Mugen et al) batteries; they're really only good for emergency back-ups rather than replacing your existing battery. And you'll NEVER get more than the OEM battery's capacity, no matter what the aftermarket manufacturers tell you.

$99 is very pricy for a phone that costs ~$300. AND the the phone becomes bulkier, no thanks.
$99 for one battery? I prefer buy 3 or 4 standard bateries and swap when they gets empty lol
I would love to have one of these especially the 3600 mah
ive heard that 1800mah is something like failure or fake, it doesnt last that longer than the 1500mah one. also except that the 3600mah is soooo fat i think its really expensive also considering the fact that it might be used and of course not certified
I buyed two of this batteries. My batteries production date 1,5 year ago and it's lighter than orginal battery. These batteries are waiting for emergency call (if orginal batter empty in a emergency situation) I never charged them and i dont know performance. I am just tested them on my phone. They are %50 charged and phone can working with them.
Have they the same size as a normal one?
the site shows a big back cover.
Nope, they are fat fat that's why they had custom back cover.

Did it worked for you?
I think there could be a heating issue while charging..
I don't think that there would be problems with charging, I think that there will be problems with usage, 3.8V is a higher voltage than default battery's, so it could overvolt some hardware parts.
today igot the replacement battery , its HF5X battery for defy+, my phone is DEFY(MB525), phone is charging stops at 98%

Hi. How much did the battery cost you. I see HF5X on Ebay starting from 1500-1600. If the rate is same I'll order from them instead.

Hi my original battery of Defy is dying. It won't last for half a day. I am planning to get a new one. There are all kinds of batteries on ebay, 1500mah, 1700mah, 1930mah, 2200mah.... I don't want to lose water-resistant so I just want a battery replacement can last long with it. Which is the best choice? I know some of these volumes are fake so the largest number is not always the best choice...

hi, just buy the official battery of your defy
I bought a Polarcell 1600 mAh on ebay. I measured 1570 mAh, which is close enough.
It does have two problems, though. It underreports its capacity (1140 instead of 1600 mAh), and the temperature jumps between 24 and 26 C no matter what the real battery temperature is.
Buy the original battery , If possible purchase the battery a official reseller , On Ebay there are many false
try MUGEN

thanks, will try it
lesson:
1. buy original motorola, try reliable un-official channel if too expensive.
2. buy 3rd party reputable.
3. avoid any has the same size as original but claims significantly higher capacity.
4. avoid batteries that sell for 1/5 the price of an original or 3rd party, you're asking for troubles.
5. when shop on ebay, check seller ratings.
thx.
My Defy+ battery isn't charging anymore, even in other Defy, it only charges with an external wall charger, so I'm gonna buy another one.
In my country, the Defy (MB525) BF5X battery is a lot cheaper (less than the half price) than the Defy+ (MB526) HF5X battery.
The question is: The Defy (MB525) BF5X battery is fully compatible with Defy+? I can use it without any problems?
Note: I'm using the WIUI GB v2.9.27 (GB Kernel).
Thanks!
battery fix available here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1795647
note: bf5x and hf5x differs in battery chemistry and the top charge voltage slightly different (hf5x higher), so if you use hf5x on mb525 rom the battery won't full charge, but if reverse, theoretically can be dangerous(???), not 100% sure but overcharging lithium rechargeables is dangerous, tight voltage limit...

Hi there.
I hope is not too late - last post was in November.
I've tried a new BF5X battery with my DEFY+ (MB526) but it causes bootloops or shudden shutdown when it asks to enter the sim pin.
I've also tried with and old one from a used MB525 and it worked without any problem... What can I say...
I should advice you to buy the HF5X, even if it's more expensive, for sure compatibility.
I have seen batteries for the Defy that are the same physical size as the standard battery, but have a capacity of 2500 mAh. Are these batteries as good as they look and will the battery monitor in the Defy work properly with them?
Thank you

I got such a battery and it is CRAP.
Bought it with the same thinking but after that I went and bought Original Moto Battery for my old Defy Green and it holds longer and no need of extra hassle to flash battery fixes.
Buy Genuine Motorola Battery for your device and will be times better.

Not really, probably just a tiny bit more. The MB525 battery starts to fade after 2.5 years, it's clearly evident in the case of mine.
I believe walter has a fix in the form of a zip that you have to flash if you decide to put a Defy+ battery in a Defy. Im not quite sure though, I haven't visited his google drive in quite a few months.
