Looking for a new battery for my Defy. - Defy Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hello fellows
I need a new battery for my Defy, as the stock one no longer can keep up with my daily routine.
I've seen some posts on Chinese batteries around here, most of them seem unreliable.
So, I would like for suggestions, preferably from users that already had positive experiences with replacement batteries.
It would need to be bought online (worldwide shipping) as I am in Brazil and I don`t believe that I could find a good one around here.
Thanks!
best regards

Very interesting, chandujram. Do you have one of those?
2400mAh is very appealing, but I have not seen one positive feedback for large capacity batteries for the Defy...

No.. Me too planning to buy this! The site says it has a 3 star in the reviews. But generally, yeah me too had heard that large capacity makes not much difference..

Hi
Rather spend the money on a real Motorola Defy battery, and save yourself some frustration. I bought a similar battery to the one you are lookin at in the link. Barely last 12h. Yes, extended 2400mAh even with the free battery door.

I think that 2400mah size should be bigger then 1500 or 1700's size. Is the mah real?

Hi guys,
I am looking to buy OG Motorola battery. I have looked for it at local service center but I couldn't get one as Motorola has shut down India business. Can anyone help me in buying a new battery.
Thanks

Thats a 10% boost in power. Not that bad if it works. Wonder how much the OEM 1650's will sell for. If its more than like 15 dollars, which it will be, then I prob wont buy one.

Not likely, the cheapo batteries usually are ~1200mah batteries with a different sticker on them.

Who said anything about a cheapo battery. He said he scored a 1650mah from the Galaxy S 4g. I assume that to mean he got ahold of one of the OEM batteries for that phone.

Well cant go into details really but Someone I know was returning the phone(gs4g) , got it a day earlier so I did a switcharoo with the batteries. The batteries are identical in size the only way to tell it is a different one is the extra 150mAh.
I am seeing a noticeable boost in battery life, I can now keep 4g on all day and use the apps pretty heavily without worrying about the battery level. It does take a bit longer to charge the battery fully, but I'll trade that for more phone time any day.
I have the sedio 3300mah battery, don't mind the size but it takes forever to recharge. I got the samsung charger, and fr me its better to just swap battery's.
After reading the I'm try to pick up the 1650mah battery. Thanks for the heads up

It will increase stock battery life by about 10% while being able to use the same back. The 3500mah battery is really only like 2400-2600mah while the 1650 mah battery will really be like 1600mah. To people who dont want a fatter phone or who use the docks, it would be a good deal if the 1650mah was pretty cheap. To people like me who have the "3500mah" battery, doesn't make much sense unless its REAAAAL cheap.

Lol, the battery isn't even in the phone. Check your depth perception.
Look at the battery prongs. Right above the Samsung logo. they are sticking out, meaning NO BATTERY!

Wtf? No that's the input voltage to charge the battery. Haven't you guys ever played with a custom kernel with support to change the mAh when charging the battery?
What's the fascination with the battery?
Battery in my note atm is 3250mAh.
It's the same size and thickness as stock battery. Why are you all fascinated with a mocked up image of one with a 3100mAh battery? Or have I missed something?

To be honest I really don't know. Battery has never been a problem for me as I have the high mAh battery (3 of them!) and a dock at work and dock at home which can charged the phone as well as a spare battery. My phone sits in the dock at work pretty much all day so when I leave it's fully charged and that's plenty for very heavy use all evening. Once I go to bed it's back in the dock overnight. I never have to worry about low battery and even if I'm out all night or forget to put the phone in the dock I always have spares that are fully charged. For anyone who really cares about battery I'd just recommend getting a couple of high mAh batteries and docks and battery life will never be an issue again.

In case of battery dead or problem, what are our options?

I always used phones with replaceable batteries in the past and recently s3. But now I found new love in htc one ans pre ordered one. However, I am curious to what my options are when batteries go wrong or dead on htc phones. I notice a lot of you used htc phones in the past. Other than having insurance what did you do?
Sent from my SGH-T999 using xda premium
1. Get it replaced from HTC store.
2. Use a case like fuel charger for temporary period
Also like to know what's the battery replacement cost from HTC if I decided to use longer or for years, I know its too optimistic!
Doubt they could remove the battery. Perhaps they would replace the whole phone if it's still in warranty.
The phone is unibody so I don't know how they can take it apart without breaking the aluminum case.

Obviously it comes apart if you have the right tools. If the body were designed so that you couldn't get the battery out then you also wouldn't be able to get it in either lol. Much like the one X you'll need to remove the screen and the rest will be accessible.

I think insurance replacement would be your best bet. I bought the Evo View 32gb tab when they had those deals going on about a year or so ago and the battery died on it and now its just collecting dust unfortunately..
For people who purchasing htc one from overseas, do you know if bestbuy will sell you insurance coverage for HTC one that is purchased overseas?

I've had good luck with the durability of recent batteries, but a lot of it is how you use them. These days you aren't supposed to run the batteries completely dead on a regular basis, but many people, my girlfriend included are under the impression that is what you're supposed to do. She has a 3 year old Toshiba laptop and it's battery is shot, my 3 year old Lenovo is still holding about half of it's original capacity. She also has an Ipod that needs a new battery. I'm sure her Iphone 4s will end in the same fate if I can't change her ways, but it almost never makes it through the day on a charge and she doesn't like to plug it in until she gets home or it's completely dead (if before that).
The 2 oem batteries with my Nexus One are still at least 85% as good as new, my ~ 2 year old Desire Z still holds charge like new. My best friends 2 year old Desire has the original battery working almost as good as new and my ex had the same thing with her Desire. My phones all get 1-2 days of battery life in normal usage for me, except the HTC One S I had would last 2-3 days at least. My theory is that while more difficult to replace the battery once it is shot, with better capacity and less cycles used it should last longer than the others, meaning most of the One S will never need a battery replacement in their normal lifetime for most people. Hopefully the One X, One X+ and One will be the same.
That's my thoughts. Hope I'm right.
I think you already swap a device in time of battery dead

I would think if something happened where it malfunctioned, your carrier would replace it, or worse case scenario you would have to pay the deductible price if you have insurance.
I would think your carrier or HTC would take care of you 1st before Insurance kicked in.

Charging Current: Post your STATS

So I was one of the unlucky ones who's Note 2 got hooked up with a sh-tty cable. So I ordered 4 random cables through Ebay, from cheap to somewhat more expensive, basically to test them out and see how fast they would charge the battery. Three of the cables had significantly lower stats (300-700), while one (cheap) cable scored quite a bit higher(1000).
To test your phone just hook it up to the charger and test with 'Galaxy Charging Current *lite*. I don't really know what the numbers mean, perhaps someone could enlighten me/rest of us.

Bizarre how a good cable can make a difference. Is the 1800 stable? Could you post an Ebay link to that cable

Thanks for that. Whether it's original or not, it's the numbers that count I guess. As long as the cable in your ebay link gets the 1800 stats I'm happy.

Probably not. All the cables I ordered were here between 4-9 days, Hong Kong/China. To Europe.

Wow..this is with my old USB cable that came with my Nokia 5800! PC charging really is bad for phones.

That means you have either a ****ty or faulty cable... Get it replaced!
Im getting 1800 mA... Bought many cables... At last found a cable called Verico Grip xtreme sync/power charging ... It gave me full 1800 mA...
Best thing was that it cost me approx 6.70 USD
PS: I ain't an employee at Verico Grip
