Forgot to say the extended battery was 2800mah and the regular one fits into the new case so I pretty much have 2 2800mah batteries but phones shows just the one

How would the phone know you have two batteries?

Should it not be able to tell that my battery is not fully charged? It says i have a fully charged 2800mah battery not a 5600mah I'm wondering if there is anyway to tell the phone its a 5600mah so the battery meter is right

AT&T Battery Size

I picked up a Tab 4 8.0 with AT&T.....the advertising is for 4,450 mAh size battery but the battery in the tablet is 2,600 mAh . I'm asking if this has happened to anyone else? Can someone tell me if their tablet battery capacity is also 2,600.

battery hight capity

Hello i buyed high capity 5860mah battery. Now i see its a fake battery mah its real 3200 <mod snip>

Return to the seller .

dont send it back
That's normal your system can't read how much mah your battery got. It thinks the standart battery is in your system. I have a high capacity battery too and in such apps I got 3200 mah too

Yes. Only your screen on time (time between charges) would help you identify.
I use a 9600mAh

Extended Battery with 5600mah not reccognised

Hello,
I've bought an extended Battery for my GT-I9505.
My Problem:
I don't feel anything of the power increase from the new battery... It's still discharging between 8-10 hours like the Stock one.
I deleted the batterystats.bin,
I calibrated the battery,
I charged and discharged it completly several times,
After a quick research I got the Information, that I need another Kernel, becouse the Stock one don't accept the bigger battery (the kernel think the battery is full charged but the battery isn't really.)
And if I combine 1 and 1 my thought is:
The more the battery is charged, the more the output voltage.
The Mobile recognise if the battery is full to avoid an overloading.
This recognise is taken from the output Voltage exact like the percent scale.
When the Stock battery reached his 2600mah capacity the output voltage is for example 4.000 Volt.
2600 mah --> 4.000 Volt --> 100%
BUT HERE IS THE PROBLEM:
As soon as the 4.000 Volt ≙ 2600mah are reached with the new 5600mah battery the mobile thinks its full charged to protect from an overload.
And I think, that the Battery isn't really full even if the mobile says that.
Can anyone help me?

I'm don't think this is the case. I'm pretty sure there are people using extended batteries on stock ROMs.
Could it just be that the capacity is fake?

Not really... The battery has good ratings on ebay

Edit or Change Battery Capacity?

Hi there,
So I replaced my original battery to a bigger capacity battery (6,000 mAh), and I've been looking for a method to change battery capacity information file for Mi A1 but to no avail. Hence, the capacity is still at 3,080 (even in Kernel Adiutor) and I believe the phone wont charge to 100% 6,000 capacity. There are methods for other phones, but it seems the file is different for Mi A1 (using Havoc OS btw).
Anyone know the file location or any method to change the battery capacity?
Thanks.

what type of battery did you install? I had to change it but I couldn't find one that was so big and I had to replace one that was the same as the original.
sorry for my bad english.

I bought and installed BN31 Rakkipanda with 6,000 mAh, hence the huge difference (almost twice the capacity).

Is that even possible? I mean can u think that they will put twice the size of capacity in same size? I don't think it's 6000mah. U may damage ur device after altering capacity value. Its there for safety

Yea, I don't think that it is really 6,000 in real capacity, it is a third party battery after-all. But my original one was toast anyway, and I had nothing to lose, LOL. After installation, the battery-life in real usage is almost exactly the same as the original one (with the same ROM and kernel), but I have hunch that the battery is still not using its real capacity. I know it is probably not safe, but the phone itself is a backup phone, and I really am curious about the battery capacity.
There were double capacity batteries in Nokia old-times (and they proved to be true capacity -most of them anyway-), therefore I have faith that android phone batteries could be the same.

Hello. You can charge the phone to 100% and then check for the battery voltage. If it is close to 4.2v it means that battery is fully charged.

Tried this, the voltage indicates 4331mV at 100%. Should I keep on charging or disconnect the charger?
By close to 4.2V should it be under (at 50% I peeked the voltage reached only 3.9) or a little bit over?
