The Q Cell battery is still working great for my phone, I've read a lot of reviews aboot some of the other batteries being junk. I bought this one after reading many of the sellers reviews on ebay.
Sent from my Boost Galaxy SII.
It's hard for me to believe that a battery that sells for $13 and is made in China is "hand made."Eh, that or its just a bad one. A lot of extended batteries are hand made, and sometimes, you're bound to find a bad one. But my guess is that its 1 out of every 5,000.
Just got my replacement battery, so hopefully it will fare better than the first. Same problem with getting the back cover on -- it snaps into place rather than sliding, so I know the first time I try to remove it one of the tabs will snap. Lol.
So far so good. I've done a couple of full cycle charges as well as some shorter ones, and I'm seeing almost a day and a half with light to moderate use.
One thing I've noticed. The battery charges at pretty much the same rate for a full charge as the stock one (~2 hrs ) -- up to 99%. Then it hangs there for a while till it reaches 100%. Similarly I can use the phone for a while at 100% before it drops. Is this an inability by Android to accurately gauge these extended batteries?
Relax, dude, I'm not "blaming" anything. Just curious.
