What about something like a portable charger?

Out of curiosity, how much does she want? I can easily get a 7am-midnight day, with plenty left over, and I'm pretty much running stock + franco.Kernel, auto brightness on.

Hello Brian,
While we don't have a PowerSkin available for the device at this time, we do have a product coming out this year that should be able to help--a battery charger.
Please check out the press release at our site--on the blog--and if you like what you see, be sure to sign up for our newsletter for product releases and exclusive discounts. Good luck and Charge On!

Thank you for your reply. When will the hybrid be available for purchase ? A white one would work perfect !
I want to give your products another shot. I had six defective powerskin cases for her t989.

She wants all day , unlimited like she had on her t989 with a laza extended battery . She won't let me root it so no Franco kernel.

Which battery is better and healthier? How can I test?

Hi All, if I had two original Samsung Note 3 batteries, how can I test to find out which one is newer or healthier? Any help would be appreciated, thanks!

Anyone?

They are most likely going to be the exact same bro. The battery's where both manufactured close to the same time I'm sure. Personally I wouldn't even worry about it. But do a complete drain test with each one over the course of a week. Only drain the battery to around 10% on each though. No need to go all the way to 1% lol. I'm sure after a week of testing each battery you will find similar results. Also install gsam from the play store for a bit of extra information.

Changing roms isn't really going to help with a faulty battery but you could change kernel. I'd recommend electron or Franco kernel. Also, you could try this as it limits the cores which decreases performance but improves your battery consumption. https://forum.xda-developers.com/nexus-6p/general/guide-fix-nexus-6p-bootloop-death-blod-t3640279

Replaced the battery on the Tab Pro 8.4

It took less than 10 minutes to actually replace the battery in this thing. It took me 4 times longer to replace the battery in my Moto 360.
So far it's charging much faster than my old original battery. I have had my Tab Pro 8.4 since it came out. I got the replacement battery from Amazon.
I used a couple of youtube videos to get an idea of what to do and the replacement battery came with more tools than I actually even needed.
I'll update in 2 weeks about how my experience has been with it.

Yes please would really appreciate a detailed feedback and guide on if you still think it's worse it. I love this tablet. Perhaps a suggestion for the currently most efficient rom (batterylife/performance). Looking forward to hearing from you!

The ROM I'm using is Resurrection Remix Nougat 7.1.1_r25-NOF27B RR-N-v5.8.2-20170401-mondrianwifi-Unofficial
After fully charging to 100% yesterday I took the Tab Pro 8.4 to my cigar shop and used it for a full cigar smoke, used it later that evening at home for about 30 minutes, left it on the table overnight w/ wifi on, and now I'm at work with it and it's at a 30% charge. I have to say I haven't had this much life out of it since the 1st year I had this. Granted this is just over 14 hours of on time since the full charge so the performance will definitely change over the next 2 weeks of use but this is a great sign so far.
The Battery I got from Amazon was this:
ANTIEE T4800E New Laptop Battery Replacement For Samsung Galaxy Tab Pro 8.4" Tablet PC Notebook SM-T325 T320 T321 T4800C T4800K 4800mAh 3.7V
$15

Sounds good, will give it go! Thank you

I've had my tablet a little bit after it came out so the battery isn't holding up as much anymore but it's still working (yes I've reset my battery many times). Looking forward to your update or if anyone else has any other source for good replacement batteries, we would like to hear it.
Thanks
David C.

I just also replaced my battery with a highend battery same hz (4800) im not sure of its the lineage OS rom I'm running but I don't seem to see something to write home about unfortunatey...
There isn't even an option to fast charge this tablet with this rom *when the stock rom would chrage it in less than an hour and hold its charge) where as i spend a good 8 hour charge to get to near 1oo%and even when its still plugged in, it will go down in a matter of 2 hours.
any idease? maybe back to stock?

Are you using the Wifi or LTE version? I'm searching for another ROM instead of the lineageOS 13.0 currently running on my battery dead Tab Pro 8.4 LTE (SM-T325) which I will be replacing the battery myself soon.

So what's the verdict on the amazon replacement battery? Does it hold charge as good or as near the original?
Thanks

It was a solid replacement and well worth the very short amount of time it took to do. It feels like a new device all over again. Lately I have just been trying different roms now since the stock experience hasn't been updated in years.

That's great, thank you for the info but was wanting some clarification on the battery you purchased from amazon, are you getting the original 11 hours of SOT or more like 4 SOT like the cheep china batteries. Thank you :good:
PS: first post so sorry if i replied wrong....

Same here. Original owner of a Tab8.4 since the month it launched, old battery swole, recently replaced. Easy peasy!

Well that was in November and my replacement battery is still go strong. Glad I did it!

I replaced mine with the same model from Amazon in March, everything is working great. It took about 10 minutes start to finish, tablet is still working like new.
Totally worth the $15.

After running into many problems including the battery on resurrection remix, I switched to lineage. The battery problems got worse there. I decided it was time to do this. Only a couple days in and the difference on lineage is night and day. Should have done this sooner.

surprisingly most batteries (Even blatant knockoffs) have the advertised capacity, except the 3600 mAh ones. Just grab a Cameron Sino or one of the original-looking ones and you'll be fine

I got a replacement OEM from the states for 5 quid - it was the cheapest on ebay at the time. Works perfectly. My phone returned to it's formal glory, except for Quick Charging which was broken before.

Just ordered this one: it's supposed to be for the Axon 7s which I think as the same structure inside, so it must fit well. Seems legit, 3320mAh as the Axon 7s is 3400 mAh
Battery Aliexpress
And 2 speakers as the bottom one seems non fonctional and the top one is not sounding good anymore

3650mAh-LI3931T44P8h756346-Battery-For-ZTE-Axon-7-Battery-5-5inch-A2017- Have anyone tried this 3650mah battery

I'm still waiting for the battery, this is Aliexpress
For the 3650 mAh, just a little search on the forum will answer your question, or a search on Aliexpress. SPOILER: it's a 3200mAh

Just received my battery.
Just a reminder, it was supposed to be a battery for Axon 7s which has a greater capacity.
The battery I received is a standard yellow one for Axon 7 with ZTE logo.
I'm too busy to install it right now, I hope it's a legit one and has a standard capacity.
Conclusion: you can't find any Axon 7s battery

I ordered mine off Amazon called Cameron Sino like someone here said earlier and it's working good for now I hope it stays this way for a while. I've read about 3rd party batteries degrading too fast compared to oem ones. Almost doubled my battery life compared to a 2 year old battery i was using before this

How difficult was it to do the replacement?

For my first time I would say not too bad but I did end up scratching the speaker grills and ordering a replacement. To me, getting the speaker cover out was harder than the actual battery. I've posted some sot screenshots in a different thread if u are interested in seeing them. And as a first timer also have advice for others who want to try it as well so they don't make the same mistakes as me. It can be worth it if u don't care about keeping your device that mint anymore. But it can still also be mint depending how good u are at replacing it. If u use a case, the scratches can be covered up anyways. Imo I would say only do it if u had your phone for too long or got bored of it. Once u know how to do it perfectly, this can almost futureproof the phone and u might not feel like switching anymore. Another time to do it could be when u order an already used one for less than half the price of a new and have nothing to lose. Replacing the battery will make it feel new again and u just got yourself a good deal. There are a bunch for sale either on swappa or ebay. I think people usually sell their phones because battery degradation is the main reason and they went for a new phone instead of replacing it themselves

I need a battery replacement too.
I get 1.30 hours screen on time and Battery Saver is enabled all the time.
If I use WiFi I lose 1 percent every 30/60 seconds.
I need it mostly on screen.
I checked accubattery multiple times once it said 1.950 mah left and now 2.150 mah.
I'm running Android 9 but I got worse results on older Versions of Android. I don't even play games now.
Is this all battery fault?

Yes probably!
So you get better battery performance with Android 9 than Stock Oreo beta?

Go on Youtube, it's an easy process once the phone is oppened. Just mind to reconnect carefully all the cables

I dunno if you replaced your battery since posting, but I had the same levels of battery degradation as you. I just changed my battery... And this thing is flying again and not feeling like it'll shutdown after 3-4 hours of use. It's crazy how much my device was throttling with the old battery.

Be careful not to damage the screen ribbon. Also not to over heat the grills distorting them. The glue on the camera glass has to go during assembly.
