I need to replace the battery for my G7 river. Where's the best place to buy one? What should I be searching for?
iFixit is probably a good place to look. They're pretty reputable. Here's a G7 battery here: https://www.ifixit.com/Store/Android/Moto-G7-Replacement-Battery/IF390-038?o=1
From the pictures, it looks like a stock/genuine Motorola battery. So I guess that's good. Just make sure the models are correct for the phone before buying.

I found a good battery with the same capabilities as the OEM one that comes with the touch pro (1340 mAh). Best of all, it is less than 5 dollars with free shipping worldwide, but it is not the OEM, but looks similar.

Interesting, how's the quality so far? Is it holding the charging well?

I actually haven't bought this battery, but based on the reviews it looks pretty good. I just thought I'd like to share this deal with others.
I would never buy something like that...It is a good find but the price is a bit too low to be credible. I'd say if you want to buy a battery, go for a proper HTC one. I remember in the old days when I had a Nokia, I bought a battery that's not OEM and it didn't last half the time of the original one.
Actually I bought this battery.
To be honest, ... I don't know which is the original anymore.
They look identical and to my opinion just as good as the original one.
I also bought my screenprotector there (as for my other devices) which is very good.
I'd be very surprised if this $5 battery lasts more then 2 months.
There is a reason it is $5...
I also bought this battery. Looks and acts identical to the original. NO problems with it.
Usually, batteries like that start losing their capacity very quickly. I'd suggest going with the OEM battery. I was able to get it for $8 after making an offer to this ebay seller. Highly recommended.

I think the Seido batteries are considered a good brand, right? They are not OEM, but have a good rep and quality.
As stupid as this may sound, it looks completely possible to take the back of a Droid Maxx and put it on the chassis of the Ultra. When watching a teardown video, they're literally the exact same phone, given the wireless charging, larger battery, and non-glossy beautiful carbon back. Can't the backs just be swapped? And if anyone wanted to go to the extra step, the battery as well?
I bet it can be done. You just have to find the battery and back to do it.

Its a bit pricey, but its the only one

Seeing as they don't have a replacement battery, I guess I'll just stuff it with paper
Did you have any success with the conversion?
Just curious as to your success. I'm considering it myself and would like to know if this worked.
Actually you need the Maxx battery that costs like 35 bucks on ebay, a sort kind of plastic frame over the camera and stuff, then, the antenna that is located on the low side of the phone and last, the back cover, obviously is more thick to fit the Maxx battery, you can still use the nfc transmitter or you can buy the nfc/wireless charging coil combo, it uses the same connector.
Plastic frame and antenna

Thanks.
When you say the "plastic frame over the camera and stuff," do you mean the Replacement Part for Motorola Droid Ultra XT1080 Camera Lens and Bezel SKU: ESMOT131219106126? I'd post a link, but XDA won't allow that for some reason.
And the antenna? Why would that need replacing?

The camera lens and bezel is more smaller on the Maxx, I think because to be fitted on the battery, and the antenna, that is on the bottom on the phone, is much thicker, I think to fit the thickness of the back cover...
I am shocked to see a huge influx of new or like new 16gb maxxs on swappa.com for under 300. Just saying.

I just bought one locally for $200 in like new condition last week. If this phone cost double that, I still would have been happy. Stupid Verizon customers who don't understand how phone subsidies and gsm unlocks work are why these are so cheap. Its a good time to be an enthusiast.
ifixit have discovered it's pretty painless to replace the battery in a nexus 6 which is good for long term users. With that said, it's not a process that you can do on the fly, but it's good to know in a year if your battery sucks, you can replace it easily

Wonder if we could stick an even bigger battery
There's already a thread about the ifixit teardown, let's continue the discussion there

I need your opinion urgently to determine what this battery is.
It got the following battery from eBay: http://www.ebay.com/itm/New-Genuine.../322210284593?ssPageName=ADME:X:RRNTB:NL:3160
The original LG battery in my phone weighs about 43 grams. Is also has a sort of small bulge that makes it thicker than the replacement from eBay.
The replacement from eBay only weighs about 32 grams. This seems like a big difference to me.
However, the seller keeps insisting this battery is the real deal, and in fact it is a "newer version".
At this point I don't know what to believe. What do you guys think?
Also, anyone got an opinion on these batteries: http://www.etradesupply.com/lg/lg-g2-replacement-screen-battery-parts/lg-g2-d802.html?parts=231
All of them fake. Already have on XDA separate threads on this matter - for example. Search carefully next time. Weight and volume itself provides enough evidence - LiPol has no major improvement to have better capacity/density or capacity/weight.
Thanks for prompt response!
Guess I will tell the seller to stop lying and refund me haha
I have a really good deal on a g7 that I may go forth with and give my perfect condition g6 to my mom. Has anyone upgraded to the g7. Is it worth it even at only $200 for the g7 will I notice a upgrade?

I think it's a good deal but you probably won't notice much of a difference. I personally wouldn't bother with LG at this point and get something like OnePlus or Pixel.
Notch = yuk.

I wouldn't do that. The G7 has a smaller battery and the notch.
I have been waiting for the G7 to replace my G6, but I couldn't find enough reasons to justify it, so I stayed with my G6. Now I wait for the G8, but it seems that it won't be good enough either. Let's see.
well, it doesnt matter g6 or g7 is way to close generation and didnt see many improvements, one phone you should see is LG V30/V35/V30S, thats a major improvement over G6 and better than G7, not the SoC but you have more features and a better camera, and V30 variants are also cheap those days.

I owed and sold the v30 I like the speed. It didn't like the screen size too wide for me for everyday use. I truly like my g6 but at times it's slow. And the g7 has the better processor along with a better selfie cam. (More for me and my fiance) I never selfie alone. I like the IPS display better to Idk why but I do. The notch can be hidden so that's whatever. Mostly looking at it for a bit more screen size and the boom box sound.

Can't did the single lens camera of the pixel. Yes it's an AMAZING camera but frustrated that they are smart enough to know dual lens is better for the front but not smart enough to carry it over to the back. Also the screen to body ratio in the pixel does not impress I rarely need the stereo speakers so the standard pixel is out and the XL is too large for my liking with one hand usage. Fast and AMAZING as the 6T is the price all at once scares me off. Lol I'm in Verizon and I know the 6T will work with it but at $600 and no certified IP rating I can't do it. I work outside and I'm always at the beach or hiking near water so I don't want to worry about it. I know the makers at ONE+ stated that "it is water resistant as much as any other device nowadays" but they don't pay for the IP rating certification so that they don't have to raise the price of the phone and I get that but still that means they don't have to warranty it from any water or moisture damage either. Along with the lack of Qi charging which I use at work and my night stand at home. I know it's gpt days charge or whatever they call it but still the convenience of QI is just something I'd not want to give up just yet.

Smaller battery with better battery managing processor so it's a trade off I feel. Also the g8 is going to be a let down unless they really make it some thing to stand out. I've seen the leaks and as of right now they did not. I'd go with v40 or v50 IF they'd attach a stylus. They need a flagship with stylus IMO. The stylo 4 is a GREAT mid range phone but I'm on Verizon and wouldn't be able to use it let alone sacrifice camera quality and over all device speed just for a stylus
