I am in the market for a replacement battery because after 2 years of use my Mogul battery is almost depleted after a 10 min. phone call.
I looked at the Seido 1650mah to get more juice in the same physical size (no hump) and it's $45.
http://store.wmexperts.com/seidio-1650mah-oem-size-extended-battery/8A37A2932.htm
Then I noticed that the stock 1500mah batteries are selling for $6? (on ebay and amazon)
Is there something I'm missing here, they are advertised as "new". Has anyone had experience with these replacement 1500mah not performing? If these will get me back to stock battery life then maybe I'll settle for just the 1500. I just don't see why the price disparity.
I bought one on Ebay a couple months back from wirelessstoreusa. $6.77 with free shipping.
It was marked identically with the battery I received with the phone, and performs fine. I figured that even if it just lasted six months, I could get a lot of replacements before I broke even buying a more expensive battery and paying shipping.
Unless you need a higher mah battery, I'd go with the cheap one!
I got 2 for free at a local Sprint store. They were slightly used but in good working condition plus they were free so I wasn't complaining.
Ok thanks. I guess I'll go for the 1500 then.
I went with a cheap one from Amazon and it seems to be performing the same, if not worse, as the battery I was replacing. In other words my original battery is over a year old and won't last one day, and the new one does about the same. Maybe my memory is failing, but I thought when I first bought the phone the battery was lasting longer than that.
Despite this, I think it will suffice as I don't anticipate having this phone for much more than six more months.
Thanks for posting this. I am curious to see if others have had a similar experience.
Has anyone measured the S4 battery or know where I can find the dimensions? I searched for awhile and couldn't find anything. I carry around an extra S3 battery in my wallet and am wondering if the larger S4 battery will fit.
Thanks ahead of time.

This might help:
2600mAh battery Samsung GS4 images
Since these are the dimensions, I'm guessing the battery might be around 2.5" x 2.5" x 0.2".
The S4 battery is wider than the S3's.
Thanks for your help!

Samsung released a larger 3000 mAh battery for the GS3 recently. Doesn't add much additional thickness either, maybe 1.5mm. We at Diztronic made a case to fit around the extended battery too.
Had anybody had their 6p battery replaced? Can anyone recommend a good battery? What else should I expect as far as costs and turnaround time?
I would especially be interested in hearing if anyone had a bad experience (e.g., damaged device) getting their battery replaced or if anyone has any shops they can recommend in the bay area. Thanks!

Lots of information here
The camera glass is supposedly the worst part. I hear it breaks very easily.

I'm wondering if someone tries to fix it for me and they damage it, would they pay for a replacement part? I doubt it and that worries me because I'm sure I can ask a repair shop to do it and they might say yes but they may not be experienced in replacing 6p batteries.

I just replaced my battery earlier today. The camera glass was actually pretty easy, once I used a heat gun on it. The only thing I damaged greatly was the bottom plastic cover. Slipping a thin blade under it left a bulge in it. I had a spare and replaced it.
I did mine today also. It wasn't to bad.. The most important thing is HEAT or the glass will crack. It took me about 40 minutes to finish it

Will you guys report if you see a big difference after changing? I'm ordering a sino today. If you have Accubattery installed I'd be curious in knowing what it reads the replacement battery health as.

I got the Cameron sino battery from Amazon. Accubattery said my og battery was at 78% and my nexus was losing its charge much faster when I purchased it a year ago. My new battery is showing 99% after 24 hours with accubattery. I'm glad I took the risk of swapping the battery myself

I've been running Accubattery for quite a while. Before the replacement, I was down to 60% battery health and getting around 2 hours of screen-on time. I was getting shutdowns at 15% and 20% battery life. Also, a heavy-load action like taking pictures wasn't safe when at less than about 60% battery remaining, since I'd get just a few pictures and then a sudden shutdown.
My battery replacement was advertised to be and looks like a legitimate OEM Huawei part. I'm now showing 107% battery health after a couple charges and a predicted screen-on time of about 4.5 hours. I also used the phone a lot yesterday for video, audio streaming, gaming playing, etc., and it held up solidly compared to what my old battery was giving me.
And I concur with bigmatt503 that heat is the key to avoiding damage to phone parts. I think if I'd have used more heat on the bottom plastic strip before wedging the knife under it, I would have avoided damaging it and would have been able to reuse it, rather than replacing it with a new one. The heat source for me was a heat gun bought from Amazon.

I did a bit more research and found out that the battery I used as a replacement is not a real OEM battery. The ribbon cable on it is thinner than the OEM and the temperature sensor is locked at 25C. See this thread for a lot more information on finding an OEM battery and the non-OEM batteries that do have a working temperature sensor:

Thanks for sharing guys. What battery did you purchase?

I bought mine from an eBay vendor, but I don't think they are still selling the battery.
After reading through the thread I posted about above, it seems like these are the best bets for getting batteries that have the temperature sensor:

Hello!
My display recently broke, and I intend to keep this phone for more 2 or 3 years.
Since I'm going to ship it to Oneplus for the repair, should I also get a new battery?
Mine had arround 85% life and it was almost crossing the 2 years mark.
It would be great if you could replace the battery as you are planning to use this phone for 2-3 years, moreover it won't cost much.
Any suggestions for extended battery to increase battery capacity. I heard about zero lemon but they don't manufacture any more.
This 8400mAh with confirmed working NFC coil has replaced the 7500 from a few years back.
But unlike that 7500mAh thicc boi battery, requiring its own special battery bumped back door housing, this one is near stock size and uses the OG batt door!
Performs about the same as 7500
