[LG Optimus 2x] aMpeX:
If the tech really were available within the requirements and safety measures the big manufacturers would surely deploy it.

This battery probably has nowhere near the advertised capacity, comes without the necessary safety measures like the stock ones and will decline greatly over time.

If you want premium tech you have to pay premium prizes, and while there might be some better bang-per-buck deals, this one sounds to good to be true, so I wouldn't trust it until someone confirms the battery really has that much juice.

Just my 2 cents
[LG Optimus 2x] Sckank:
Oh why not check it out?

Ordering one now, will tell you all about how it perform as soon as I get it.
[LG Optimus 2x] eraldo:
I already have confirmed it works did you bother to read my post i bought this battery from the same seller for my htc dream and had bit for a year and it last for almost 2 days with a lot of use, i can't say for sure that this one for the o2x will work as well but its from the same seller and its the same brand of battery from japan so I'm confident and will order one soon.

Remember its made in japan where standards must be kept it isn't from china.
[LG Optimus 2x] MillyMoo106:
I'm keen to know how these do.
[LG Optimus 2x] Rusty!:
What a load of crap, any country can produce shoddy goods.
[LG Optimus 2x] Sckank:
I dont think it will be much better but it costs almost nothing so I give it go anyway. ;)
[LG Optimus 2x] eraldo:
No its not crap idiot...

Of course shoddy goods can be produced anywhere but they cannot label them as better than they are that only happens in places like china.

China regually change disk type and spoof them as better brands for sales and clone well known products like the psp and iphone and release crap labbled as psp or iphone this cant be done in japan and western countrys and thats the same kind of thing as labbeling a 2430Mah battery when its only a 1300Mah battery so im not worried as i said i already tried one of these gold premium batterys and it worked fine.

So continue with your scepticism and lose out i dont care.

And remember that when you get a new battery sometimes you need drain the battery then delete battery stats and recharge it or it will appear as tho the battery drains faster than a stock battery and if the stats think the battery is empty it will shutdown.
[LG Optimus 2x] grognaz:
great find, thanks a lot for sharing.

i ordered one as well since im so sick to having permanent paranoya of running out of juice if i cant plug the device for a couple of hours....
[LG Optimus 2x] gasgasgas:
Let's see after some months of usage, I'm usually very skeptic for those batteries with ultra high capacity (1A/h something like 75% more) at those prices.

Producers are not a bunch of idiots, IMO those batteries are simply not good enough.
[LG Optimus 2x] lintz:
Please restrain your self from using insults.

As rusty mentioned any country can make crap. And sell them for "some thing they ain't". As you seems to refer a lot to china. It might be a chines battery with a fake label. Wouldn't be the first time. Or the label might have a typo, like I hope your capital M is in all the Mah. Since: M= Mega ,m=mili. Should be written mAh.

Also since the battery is a Li-ion battery be careful with charging it, since if they get overcharged/overheated they explode. Li-ion battery explosion

And I know that the stock is Li-ion to but hopefully of a higher quality.
[LG Optimus 2x] Sckank:
Well mine is on the way. Guess it will take a week or so, but I will update from day one how it performs.
[LG Optimus 2x] MikuSE610:
If the tech is available, the phone manufacturers will definitely use. Longer juice means more profit.
[LG Optimus 2x] shpapy:
i ordered it as well, i will post an update as soon as i get it.

13 pounds sounds good since, the 3450 bat is 35 + cover....

just my thoughts....
[LG Optimus 2x] eraldo:
Most rechargable batterys are Li-ion....you know this means lithium right.... 9 out of 10 rechargable batterys use this tech including the stock and they do not explode when overcharged they have chips that stop them overcharging and even with the super cheap version iv never seen one that didnt come with this even cheaper overcharging chip.

But AGAIN i already said i tried one of those 2430mah batterys with my htc dream and the battery life was doubled from the stock battery and i regually overcharged the phone overnight....no explosion. How about we just wait and see what people who have ordered one report.

In case your brain cant comprehend what you are seeing but that guy intentianally made that battery explode and very likely took apart all the safety features before doing it.

My theory on why phone manufacturers dont use higher capacity batterys is cost they want to make the most profit from their phones so why pay higher prices for better batterys when they can get low capacity ones for dirt cheap prices and slap huge price tags on their phones, if they are paying mass stock prices of £8 per battery for 1920mah or 2430mah instead of £1-£2 for crap batterys then that adds up for each unit they sell. Less cost in production means more profit.
[LG Optimus 2x] lintz:
For those that want there are a few other threads on other devices for this "brand" of batteries.

HTC Dream: G1

[LG Optimus 2x] Rusty!:
There's a shock.
[LG Optimus 2x] Soulj4h:
There's a level of respect and decor that you should maintain in this forum. It makes me wonder if you're some hired salesman from ECell, but that's just speculation and not an accusation.

For the people that ordered this battery, please do give a report of how this performed.Tell us about how hot it gets while charging, what are the battery stats like, and how much real time usage does it give you.
[LG Optimus 2x] Sckank:
I'm a heavy user and sometimes the battery wont last a day. I will report in how it performs as soon as I get it, so no worries ;)
[LG Optimus 2x] eraldo:
Ill respond to someone in the same manner that they reply to me if they cant handle it then they should learn to deal with people better.

No i couldnt care less if you think im a hired salesman or some crap i used this battery before on a different phone and battery life was increased alot from stock i dont know if these batterys are just relabbled crap and i got lucky and got a 1930mah battery but in any case i got alot more time from the battery i got than from the stock so it was worth it.

Temp didnt rise much more than stock around 35c while charging up to about 41-42 if i was using at the same time. But that was the htc dream and was an old phone that phone got hot from normal use anyway because the cpu was almost always at full load.
[LG Optimus 2x] LarsPT:
Yup unless your battery explodes. Read here:

http://www.cbsnews.com/stories/2007/07/07/tech/main3026825.shtml

People have died from chinese batteries. Good luck to you mate.
[LG Optimus 2x] shpapy:
yeh i'm aware of that :-) (dont forget that LG batt is also Chinese)

but thanks for the concern for my well being!

ill take my chances so far so good and i use 99% of the time B.T so the phone is not close to my body
[LG Optimus 2x] LarsPT:
Even if the LG battery is made in China, they're made in an LG factory, with LG's QC. It's not the same as a chinese counterfeit battery. As long as you're making an informed decision, it's fine by me :)
[LG Optimus 2x] shpapy:
Using this battery for quite a while ; i think that 36 hours suffice to say is enough

too bad i cannot capture the entire usage or coverage but i had most of the day swithing 2g/3g since i have really bad reception in my office building (old dutch metal building) and wifi is constant syncing 2 email accounts / rss feeds / google+ etc.. loads of bg services (usually i got about 150Mb free with all the mem hacks so do the math) at the time of the screenshot the reception was good since i was at home. also i was using gps for 30 min (just to test it )
[LG Optimus 2x] :
@shpapy

look promising, im not sure if i should buy the andida 1980mah (mostly good experiences) or the 2430mah (not that much good experiences)...

PS: btw, you can click on the graph ;)
[LG Optimus 2x] shpapy:
i know i can click it i cannot scroll it when i screenshot and i had 1% :-) so i wanted a fast screenshot and charger time

i dont have the andida; i have this one , i can tell you that the temperature sensor is malfunctioned and the report is 25.2 constant.

besides that you saw the capture. i think its o.k for 10 euro.

hope i helped.
[LG Optimus 2x] nikolav75:
Hi, all

I've been using that battery since September or October. So far it still last with different ROMs for 3-4 days. So, no change from the beginning. So far I'm very happy with it. Don't know where my original is.
[LG Optimus 2x] tablighs:
Can you give link to where you buy this from? Thanks.
[LG Optimus 2x] shpapy:
there you go

http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/2430MAH-F...069?pt=LH_DefaultDomain_3&hash=item2eb76a1fad

enjoy.
[LG Optimus 2x] tomislav177:
Be aware of cheap batteries, it is not all truth about mAh. It would be interesting if somebody would test it and compare with the original.
[LG Optimus 2x] WRXRB320:
I'll be buying this battery tomorrow. Quick question, I will be swapping from stock to gold and vice versa so do i have to calibrate the battery every time i put a different battery in my phone?
[LG Optimus 2x] shpapy:
---------- Post added at 11:20 AM ---------- Previous post was at 11:18 AM ----------

[/COLOR]

tested it, please read the entire thread.

its better than stock not by much but better i squeeze 36 hrz from it.

i'm unfamiliar with any smartphone (not including razr MAXX) that has medium to high usage who can squeeze that amount of hours.

---------- Post added at 11:20 AM ---------- Previous post was at 11:20 AM ----------

nope since battery calibration is useless it does nothing for you or ure phone.
[LG Optimus 2x] shpapy:
And another screenshot of battery usage

More than an hour of voice calls and heavy usage during the daytime at work
[LG Optimus 2x] Scougar:
Just so your aware, the original OEM battery is only about £8.50 (plus postage). I've ordered two to play with. The aftermarket batteries just seem so hit and miss.
[LG Optimus 2x] tablighs:
How do you actually know that is the real deal? Since its kind of cheap to begin with.. and there are alot of batteries for many kinds of devices on eBay which claims to be OEM and has the same looks as original but is worst if compared to original.
[LG Optimus 2x] -sandro-:
for the "original" battery capacity I wouldn't spend more than $4

is this http://www.ebay.com/itm/GOLD-2430MA...AU_MobilePhoneAccessories&hash=item3cbe03dc56 the same as the one sold by e-cell UK? If yes I would rather risk at half the price!

Can someone confirm?
[LG Optimus 2x] kairi_zeroblade:
too bad this does not ship to my location.. XD
[LG Optimus 2x] nothingtotalk:
Saw the thread too late. I bought a 1900Mah battery and it's still on the way here. I hope it's good :)
[LG Optimus 2x] -sandro-:
shpapy did you check if under the gold sticker you have the real capacity printed?
[LG Optimus 2x] shpapy:
Nope

Its working fine and I get 36hr of usage good enough for me
[LG Optimus 2x] -sandro-:
compared to how many hours with stock battery?
[LG Optimus 2x] shpapy:
Scroll the posts here I made screenshots long time ago
[LG Optimus 2x] -sandro-:
I saw those but I wanted to know what kind of improvement you noticed compared to the stock battery, 30%?
[LG Optimus 2x] shpapy:
i would say about 25% its deferentially not more than 25%.

i would say the battery is about 2000Mah for sure not 2430 as they say.

worth the couple of euros for it.

only problem is the lack of temp monitoring.
[LG Optimus 2x] -sandro-:
thank you maybe then I'll just get the andida one that costs $8.99 declared at 1980mha
[LG Optimus 2x] shpapy:
Do you know if it has temperature Senor?
[LG Optimus 2x] -sandro-:
according to this it doesn't
[LG Optimus 2x] Mungulz:
Didn't realise how bad my stock battery had gotten, around 100 charge cycles and a lot of time with temps above 50c.

Battery lasts longer now with my new $2.80 eBay ones.
[LG Optimus 2x] sigelopisan:
been using a stock battery around 10 months. I think the battery is broken. without doing anything and in airplane mode, only last for 4-5 hrs.

is this fast the stock battery wasted so fast?

I admitted I did flash ROM quite frequently for the last 3 months. but apart from that, my daily usage is not so active. This is not my main phone for business.
[LG Optimus 2x] Balano:
I have been using my phone since march - same battery. Still it lasts minimum a day. Max temp i have seen is 46, but that was when charging and stressing for 20-30 minutes ;)

I have 3G and wifi on no matter what, 60-100% screenlight, around medium use, but sometimes i dont touch the phone all day, and other days i cant get my hand off it. 4-5 days a week i use it for about 30-60 minutes of 3G websurfing and... ehm, well... my usage is medium :D

So i would say your battery is dying, or you are doing something wrong :o
[LG Optimus 2x] sigelopisan:
Yeah, I believe my battery is dying. Just combe back from LG service centre and bought same battery (original). Cost me around USD 10 (so cheap?, haha) Still charging for first time now.

Hope everything OK and will let you know whether the old battery really dying or its ROM problem or else. will come back tomorrow.
[LG Optimus 2x] felix3650:
My friend bought an Andida battery for his Optimus 3D 1 week ago. He came complaining that the battery performs worst than stock one. Than he bought this gold battery and he went from just a day to a day and a half without changing usage habits :) at least for him this battery works. Gonna try mine too when it arrives ;)
[LG Optimus 2x] oleg1981:
Ordered yesterday gold one. Will se wat it will be. Even if it will be better for 6-7hourse its good for me.
[LG Optimus 2x] Emre9110:
how about this batteries ? Do you suggest this battery ?
[LG Optimus 2x] thendless:
Just received this yesterday. Result after 1st cycle is pretty terrible, I will run a few more cycles and hopefully it improves but ya felt worse than the oem for the first cycle......
[LG Optimus 2x] thendless:
Oh yeah, i have a scale so i measured the weight of this and the oem battery.

LG OEM battery: 31.1 grams

Gold battery: 29.9 grams :(

I hope i get results like some people in this thread but i have a feeling I'm going to be disappointed........
[LG Optimus 2x] oleg1981:
Yesterday received the gold battery. Charged it through the night. This is a result.
[LG Optimus 2x] fai420:
I wonder which rom / kernel / baseband you are using :)
[LG Optimus 2x] traxxus:
He is using Nova HD ROM
[LG Optimus 2x] oleg1981:
Yes I am. :)
[LG Optimus 2x] sjcunha:
Great find!

I want it
[LG Optimus 2x] fai420:
Would you post your phone info screen shot for me to verify the Kernel, baseband version...

Since I have installed Nova HD, but the battery drains very fast as before...

Besides, did u open 3G network all the day? :)
[LG Optimus 2x] oleg1981:
Yes 3g always on
[LG Optimus 2x] grognaz:
Congrats for not using the device for 12 hours.... this is a joke?
[LG Optimus 2x] oleg1981:
Your post is a joke? With the original battery with the same usage I was always at 50% max.
[LG Optimus 2x] grognaz:
What usage? I cant see any in your picture, thats almost idle the whole time...
[LG Optimus 2x] gasduster:
Aww guys, theese batteries sure does not have 2Ah+. In fact, you will be glad if it has capacity same as original, but I would expect it will be worse, sorry. Theese looks just like cheapest chineese batteries, writing another number on it doesn't change the capacity.
[LG Optimus 2x] oleg1981:
what exactly you did not understood? with the same idle usage im geting about 50% with original battery! with this chinise about 80%.

iv updated to nova hd 35 and battery is usae is huge. in 9hourse to 20%. with original to 20% in about 6-7hourse.
[LG Optimus 2x] grognaz:
Your picture just does not tell anything about how long these batterys last. Idle tells nothing, the only real value is screen on time. And i dont see lots of that nor any other activity so the shot tells nothing, even if you "feel" that its so much better.
[LG Optimus 2x] Mungulz:
Wow someone who actually gets it! Like you I too am a bit irritated by the "402 hours heavy use!" Claims, what is heavy, or light use? Post screen on time instead of clouding results with crap.
[LG Optimus 2x] oleg1981:
Wow. Its already not funny!
[LG Optimus 2x] Bladedwings:
If you're interested in testing/comparing two batteries to each other, you'll have to go about it in a different way. I think what these people are trying to get across to you, oleg, is standby/idle time is inaccurate. Although they didn't go about it in a very nice way and your observations are totally accurate about the usage, they're still correct. Let me try to explain it to you so we can all be on the same page.

I have two batteries - the stock one and one I bought as a backup to the stock one - which drain differently, but overall have the same usage. The stock drains at about 2-3% on idle, while the backup drains 1% every hour or so, so it seems like the replacement is better. However, after testing both of them, I've realized they are almost the exact same. Although you might notice a slower decline in usage in idle time, you might notice an incline in usage during those times when you're really using your phone; this was the case with my backup.

Pretty much if you want an accurate test, you're going to have to replicate a situation where you battery drains constantly and at a pretty decent rate. My method was:

Setup: Increase brightness to 100%, find a widget that disables screen timeout (I use "Screen Timeout Toggle"), put that widget on your home screen, find a CPU controlling application like SetCPU, and create a profile which makes the CPU run at the highest frequency for both Min and Max.

1. Completely discharge battery until phone turns off

2. Plug phone into outlet and turn it on (if it doesn't so on its own)

3. Wait until it reaches 100% and then wait another 20 minutes

4. Unplug phone and record the time

5. Quickly, toggle the widget to make your screen always on, enable that CPU profile which I mentioned in the Setup, and leave your phone on somewhere you can monitor it.

6. Once it reaches something below 5%, keep a closer eye on it

7. Once it reaches 1%, go to your battery graph and take a screenshot of both the battery usage distribution section, and the main graph that shows when your screen was on, etc.

8. Once your phone turns off completely, record that time.

9. Repeat for second battery

Unfortunately this method will eat up an entire day, and if you're someone who constantly gets messages/texts, you'll have to use airplane mode or something to keep external, uncontrollable factors from using up your battery.

Finally, when you review this, post your kernel/ROM/settings which you tested with, along with the screenshots for comparison, while also explaining everything.
[LG Optimus 2x] oleg1981:
i understand what are you trying to say. but for me as every day user in the same way its not important as the fact that with original battery im coming home with 15-20%. and with that 40-50%. this is what important to me.
[LG Optimus 2x] Bladedwings:
Oh yeah, definitely, I totally understand that. However, for the purpose of a review, you have to admit that the information you're giving us isn't exactly helpful. That's not to say that your input is useless; as a matter of fact, you were one of the few people that experienced a significant increase in battery life, so that's actually interesting and supports the "these batteries are either hit or miss" theory that I've seen a few people mention.

Pretty much my point is that no one meant to question or judge you on how you use your phone; we merely just wanted to point out that for a battery review, better test conditions will be needed. Whether or not you are the one to give this review is completely up to you.

Are we all at an understanding now?
[LG Optimus 2x] R0B3RTF1SH3R:
thank you bladewings, your "method" is legit!
[LG Optimus 2x] Zorkman:
an easy way to test is this free app:

can someone tell me is this legit

Model number: KGFL-53HN

Battery Type: Lithium Ion

Battery Capacity: 1500 mAh

Voltage: 3.7V

Wight:28g

Compatible with: LG Optimus P990

http://www.trademe.co.nz/mobile-phones/accessories/batteries/other/auction-465361143.htm

which is better i cant understand lower or higher # of mAh ( you would think higher right ) ?

---------- Post added at 10:56 AM ---------- Previous post was at 10:44 AM ----------

anyone have one of these

http://www.mugen-power-batteries.co...tery-for-lg-optimus-2x-p990-t-mobile-g2x.html

$109 really. thats like 5-6 times the replacement cost of stock batteries right?
[LG Optimus 2x] miina_tokiha:
after a few months testing this golden battery...

capacity is declining fast.

my original battery is far better.

original battery is still the best so far.

buy a few pcs & a charger if you need more battery time.

LG original battery only $10 in my country, sell directly by official LG store.

do not buy untested cheap 3rd party battery.

they're sucks!
[LG Optimus 2x] shpapy:
maybe ure sux and im sorry for that but mine works fine for 6 months already

this battery is touch and go some are good some are crap guess ures is the 2nd ....
[LG Optimus 2x] miina_tokiha:
exactly what I meant.

sorry if I offend you.

you won't gambling with original battery.

if you feel your golden battery is great, that's good for you.

but try to put back the original battery in for a few days.

I'm just saying it's not worth the investment, if LG official store sell the original battery for $10 only.

exception if the original battery is really expensive in your country ($20-40).

EDIT: my golden battery actually lighter than original battery (which is impossible if the capacity is larger).

maybe I'm screwed like you said.
[LG Optimus 2x] oleg1981:
This better?
[LG Optimus 2x] Kurotora:
Antutu battery test

Stock 312

Gold 448
[LG Optimus 2x] eraldo:
Actually the weight difference can be explained by the fact the official battery has a temp monitor built in and the gold battery does not.
[LG Optimus 2x] JanickGers:
Uhm so what about this battery? I was about to buy it but I'm also really skeptical regarding this cheap things, especially batteries.
[LG Optimus 2x] -sandro-:
Summary:

- some noticed no difference

- some noticed a difference but then quality degraded after a few months of use
[LG Optimus 2x] -sandro-:
how is it going for people with the gold battery that had good results? Still going strong?
[LG Optimus 2x] eraldo:
I have 2 gold batterys one has deteriorated pretty quick the other works fine. Good back up battery and i recharge using solar power so i wouldn't wanna use my official battery in case i fried it.
[LG Optimus 2x] MOOSS57:
Hello,

I bought this battery nearly 2 months ago, I thougt it would be really better than than the original one, but nothing :

With original rom, betwin 14H and 24H using the phone for internet 30 min to 1h30 and sms and calls of 20 min max.

With MIUI, CM7, CM9 roms, no more than 16H of work

(ril and baseband correct)

Coming from I9000 Galaxy S, I'm desapointed...
[LG Optimus 2x] skylinegt77:
how can you be disapointed? this phone has more than twice the speed of the galaxy s, you cant have everything, if battery lifes so important buy a nokia which is crappy, but battery lasts longer XD
[LG Optimus 2x] sushantp666:
I hav nokia n82 ,battery is as bad as company itself nowadays:D
[LG Optimus 2x] kohos:
I've bought this one too and it's maybe only a slightly bit better; 30~ minutes gain compared to the stock one maybe?

Got a 1800Mah one too and it's doing better for me.
[LG Optimus 2x] abram823:
I have this 2430Mah battery and after 5 months of use it started to be much worse then stock.

When i bought the battery it was a bit better then stock but not big difference as in Mah numbers.
