Can someone recommend an extended battery for the LG G3?

[hfishmn]

heard Anker will have their replacement battery for G3 shortly, will for them

Do you know what Mah battery Anker will have.

Re: Extended Batteries

Have you had a chance to test the battery out I am curious about the results since the battery is made in china which means possibly not good standards.

Mine should be here tomorrow, I ordered a 3850mAh battery.
I will post results after I test it out for a few days.

Would consider this if I knew I would have an extended need for a phone without the ability to recharge. Such as a hospital stay. Most boring place in the world and need connectivity. The outlets are not always available.

Haha I work in one and you'd be surprised how many people ask for chargers. We keep lost and found ones and fortunately a remodel from a few years ago added more outlets.

Not yet, I have it but I am testing my replacement phone they sent me with the same battery that was draining on my original G3.

 

[OTTO002]

not sure ... guess 3000mah
because anker battery always has same capacity as stock battery, but i hope they would release extended battery like zerolemon

I'm hoping Seidio comes out with one with a case for it.

Sent from my VZW LG G3 (tapatalk)

Re: Extended Batteries

Alright Fellow G3ers I have used the 3850mah battery I got from ebay and let me tell you something.
This battery is actually pretty good, the last couple of screen shots I took will prove it but I have to DL the AC app again.
Results:
144hours usage on battery with about 5hours remaining.
SOT was just about 8hours at the time.
I have screen shots to prove it with two different occasions with excellent battery life and time.
However I cant seem to find the battery on ebay anymore, not sure if its the same seller but there is one from the same makers.
A 4500mah and still slim enough to use the factory back plate, they are in limited stock so the price is outrageous.

Re: Extended Batteries

By the sound of that seems like 2 solid day of usage and 8hrs of SOT is ridiculous. I need to get me that since I'm getting my new G3 end of February. I'll hold out for the g4 till December time!

I posted the screen shots in another thread but I will post them here too.
By the way that battery time is only because I control my phones wakelocks like a hawk.
I also use apps like greenify.

Here are the screen shots. I also have the screen shots of the day before.

Is this the one you've got? link here

I'm hesitant to buy it since one of the reviews says CPU-Z shows it as 3000mAh, not exactly 3850mAh. I was hoping the eBay seller would have it on stock but can't find it anywhere besides the seller at Amazon.

I just bought another LG battery. When I get low I replace it, usually around 6pm.

Yup me too. The free spare battery and charger has become a critical part of my phone. I rarely plug my phone in to charge unless I'm tethering on a long trip while navigating, etc. Otherwise, its simple to just grab the spare and have that in my pocket.

Yes that is the same battery I bought, CPU-Z is NOT accurate in fact it doesn't really read the battery capacity at all.
It gets stock information from the internet, so it is showing what the LG G3 came with from factory.
The battery is legit so no worries there. CPU-Z even shows the battery as Li-poly when its actually Li-Ion.

Hope this helps

Re: Extended Batteries

A little confused regarding the 4500mah battery I ordered and have arriving today or tomorrow from eBay. Here is the recommendation of the seller of the battery:

Note:
This battery has the same dimension as your stock battery,so you can use your original back cover.
This battery is sent with little or no power,when you get battery,please use up all the energy of battery until your phone shuts down automatically,then take a full charge to use,repeats 3-5 times,thus the battery can be reached the optimum effect of using

I thought the general consensus was taking a battery all the way down to zero was a bad idea. He seems to recommend doing exactly that 4 or 5 times to condition the battery? Anyone?

Depending on the manufacturing process used, to condition the battery and get it ready for initial use, taking it down to low power can be recommended. This actually breaks in the cells and provides better performance quicker. However, if you chose not to do this the battery will still perform the same, it will just take longer to "get there".

Doing this several times will not hurt the cells enough for it to matter, although I feel that 3-5 times is excessive. Twice should be sufficient.

Also, I have a 6000mah battery that is reported by CPUz as 3000mah. It is like AndroidHabit said, CPUz is getting this information fro the model phone.

Thanks. Might do it a couple of times and see what type of battery life I am getting. Will definitely report back with the results.

The battery will have some juice in it so just use it till the phone powers down and recharge with it powered off to get it fully charged.
This procedure is like calibrating the battery so that android will know exactly how much juice it has.
This will not harm the battery at all.

Does yours actually perform well on your end? The reason why I ask is because I don't see any noticeable difference for mine.

Indeed it does but it depends on how much you use it and how you have your phone setup.
