2300mAh Battery BST-41 For Sony Ericsson X2 X10 Xperia

Hi ALL!!! Noob Here. New to the site!!!

I just received my NEW Sony Ericsson X10i...

and don't like the battery life. I want more!!!

I saw this on Ebay. It has a warranty. You don't have to change the back cover.

I was wondering if you guys had any thoughts or have tried it...

Any advice (good or bad) is welcomed!!!

Thanks

Did you see the picture on Ebay? It claims that it is the same size as the OEM battery so you DO NOT need to change the back cover. You use the OEM cover:)

Hi,

up to now tests showed that no alternate batteries were an improvement if they fit in the standard case. Google for the name of the battery perhaps you find something.

Are you on stock firmware? If yes a modified firmware might be a good idea. With froyo I reached more then 70 hours with low usage. The new GB roms will reach this also in a few weeks I think.

1. Maybe thats why the battery life is short...

Interesting find.

I never used the particular one you found on Ebay, but I have another regular-sized one from China claiming it has 2200mAh capacity.

I hate to burst your bubble, but I have in the past bought and tried many, many replacement batteries for SE, Moto, HTC and other handsets and not single one of them clearly exceeded the capacity of OEM ones. Sure those sellers say theirs have 2200mAh or 2300mAh compared to OEM's 1500mAh they seem a lot better, but in realty they are about the same as the OEM at best. The one I have (they advertised as 2200mAh) for my X10 seems a little bit better than OEM. The 2300mAh one on Ebay, at least, doesn't try to copy the look of OEM, and (from my experience) it usually is a good sign of they are better than self-claimed really cheap OEMs you can find everywhere in Ebay. In the end, long battery life is not a forte of android. It's not like we have symbian devices.

As far as I know, "Mugen" replacement battery seems truly better than OEMs, though I haven't tried them personally. They are not cheap, you know.

http://www.mugen-power-batteries.co...xperia-x1-1800mah-extra-eros-akkumulator.html

Let me know if the one you found turns out to be good, I'm always looking for a spare battery that exceeds OEMs!

Laggy like ****, but the battery wont even last 30 hours in minor usage, and not even 4 hours in hardout.

[XPERIA X10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] SysGhost:
If it sounds too incredible, it probably is...

Give it a thought: If the manufacturer of the original batteries would be able to squeeze a few extra hundreds milliamps into the battery without risking the battery security, don't you think they would have from the beginning?

There is always one or more downsides with these "better" batteries:

1: They're fake. in fact, it's only a 1700 mAh battery with a 2200 mAh sticker on it. Placebo warning here! Those reviews from other "customers"? Problably the manufacturer themselves, or payed "customers".

2: They're bigger, so they do need a different cover. These battery claims can be true, more capacity = larger battery. Something has to give in. (In this case: Size), right?

These bigger batteries are okay, as bigger battery means more capacity. You have to give up the slim size here.

3: They removed some or all security features in order to allow "overcharging". That way they can squeeze in a few more mAh in the battery.

The risk of overheating is very real here. There have been cases where such "no security" batteries have exploded, and in some cases even catching fire... while still in the owners pocket. Ouch! That gotta hurt alot.

Here is a video on overcharging a Lithium Ion battery, but it isn't far from what can happen to a Lithium Polymer battery without the security:

How safe are these? I mean I really want to extend my X10's battery life, but I don't dare to try these. I don't care about if they say bigger mAh then the actual, or if the battery start to drain faster then the original after a few months of usage, but I scare about what a wrong battery can do with my phone.

So what do you think is these batteries safe enough to use, or better forget about them?
[XPERIA X10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kmaximax:
Just do what most of us here wanting a bigger battery did buy the cameron sino or now many other variants of extended battery just search ebay for

extended battery x10

and you will find upto 3200mah batteries altho they have a bulkier back and battery you soon forget the size when you can get a duration of 48hrs out of them with general use or at least a whole day with massive usage :)
[XPERIA X10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] SysGhost:
That video shows the thicker batteries. They're real.

If you read my post again, you see the other 2 options.

I just wanted to warn people that a battery have to "give something up" in order to gain more battery time. It's either one: Size or battery security. If not it's probably a fake.

I've edited my previous post to clear eventual confusion.
[XPERIA X10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Vuche:
I just bought one of the large 3'200 mAh ones with the larger backdoor and I must say It looks impressive: 65% left after 31 hours of use (10 hours of wich in airplane mode but some wifi at night). So I guess you should get good 48 hours of standard use with some power left at the end of the second day.

Bought it here:

http://www.ebay.com/itm/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=150625873768&ssPageName=ADME:B:EOIBSA:CH:1123

arrived after about 10 days (europe).

My opinion: it's worth the larger size. Too bad you can't find a fitting casing for it, like my regular sized silicon one.
[XPERIA X10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bodomfan:
that is impressive,how much bigger is the phone with it in,and does the case fit properly and was that after 1 charge?
[XPERIA X10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Vuche:
And it gets even better than I thought: 41% left after 53 hours of standard use (and about 18 hours in airplane mode but with about 2 hours wi-fi surfing).

The size is really not an issue, I think. If someone tells me how to upload picture you could see it by yourself. I would say the phone is even easier to hold.

Thickness: 19.5 mm (vs a little less than 14 mm standard battery & cover)

Weight: 174 g (vs 140 g standard battery & cover)

The extended battery itself is a little more than twice the size of the standard one, which could confirm the accuracy of the 3'200 mAh (vs 1'500 mAh standard)

Edit: Here are some pics!

Yes, after 1st charge. Backdoor holds tightly to the phone, same clips than the original one.
[XPERIA X10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rub504:

I'll use the "fat" one for the next week or so for testing purpose. I then plan using it mainly when I'm sometimes away for work during two to three days. Won't need to take another charger than the one I have in my car.

@rub504: I bought a Hong-Kong one on ebay (see the link a little higher) and there are quite a few sellers having them.

My home network works mainly on the 1800Mhz frequency, which uses less energy for the phone to emit and needs more antennas. This might be one reason why my X10 lasts longer than yours.

[XPERIA X10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bouncynemoss:
Using the 3200 fat battery: yeah it lasts a long time through heavy usage (about 11 hours of playstation 1 emulating on 20% brightness + wifi). medium usage (3g+msn response every 15 minutes or so) it lasts about 16 hours. Light usage (2g+msn response every hour), it lasts about 1.5 days. Extremely light usage (2g+random email checking and sms every couple hours) it lasts about 3 days.

^^^I may have higher battery drain than others because I always have 3g watchdog on, im+ push, whatsapp push, gmail push, facebook notifications, facebook messenger notifications, widgetlocker, volume+, fancywidget pro, textfree pinger, and winamp widget open. Brightness generally on 20%, with gps off, normally on 3g during intense usage and 2g during idle. swapper for root enabled. Using ewjet rom with freekernel.

I also downloaded the battery calibration app from the market. Not sure if it actually improved the battery life but I used it to calibrate the new battery.

Mugen 1800 mah mini review

Hello everyone, I currently purchased a Mugen 1800 mah battery and am quite impressed. Initially you have to charge the battery 4-5 times to reach full capacity and I'm on my third charge and the battery performing quite well. With above average use I'm getting about two days which includes watching a full movie, playing games(1hr) and quite frequent calls and texts.....data not so much.

One thing I would like to ad is that this battery's temp stays at an average of 26c, even when charging! My original was running at avg of 33c when charging and now my phone rarely gets above 40c with hard usage. The cost of the battery was a bit high at $36cdn but well worth it. Build quality looks good and I definitely recommend this battery to anyone who wants a cooler running X10 and longer battery life. Oh yeah and by the way I switch the phone to airplane mode while I sleep.

[XPERIA X10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sasukewa:
I also have the 2600mAh battery and not have any problems with it. It does last a lot longer than the norm. I usually have at least 50% after my typical day which is ideal, because if I recharge it at that level, I can get around 2000 charge cycles... , in theory it will last me a very long time... i.e. 2000 days.. assuming I recharge everyday.

If you drain your battery down till it reaches 5% and let us say it last you 2 days, you will get 300 charges out of it... or about 600 days... I know what I would rather do. ;)

Mugen fat-ass batt

been abusing the mugen fat lithium polymer battery (HLI-X10XL) for almost a year now, it still takes a beating and is in good condition. My conclusion, fat batteries rule when it comes to battery life, and running performance settings on roms from OC to unlocked custom kernels.
[XPERIA X10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tuner520:
that's a whole lot of battery life lol
[XPERIA X10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Cebees:
I rarely post, but I'd like to add something you should consider..

It's not possible that the capacity would increase without sacrificing the size. Therefore, the claim of '2300mah', comparing to 1500mah with the same size, is quite impossible. Reducing the battery frame to add more volume sounds ok, but that doesn't sound like 50% more capacity. I've never used Mugen one but I believe it's slightly larger, with thinner frame-plate. 1800mah with original cover looks possible.

I'd prefer USB AA (emergency) mobile charger for mobility rather than larger battery or external battery charger

Some example:

http://www.ebay.co.uk/sch/i.html?_n...id=p3286.c0.m282&_mPrRngCbx=1&_udlo=0&_udhi=5

When I travel I usually have 4-8 rechargable (2100mah) AA batt. (using with external camera flash)... they come pretty handy in emergency issues.

Hopefully this practise will extend the life of the USB port on my X10.

In fact, if you remove the back cover and just use the case, then it fits rather well (as-well as slimming down the phone) :)
