Hi all, still working great!

I'm getting the 13% red battery indicator after 17.5 hours of solid use with 9.5 hours of screen on time during that period (haven't run it dead), BT, GPS/Location, and Data all off, WIFI and the Moto Circles Widget on, mostly WIFI email and web surfing, Texting and Phone, plus some Gaming for this test. Under normal use it lasts for days.

Android 4.1.1, latest Moto ROM, unlocked but not rooted.

One thing is I can't get it to mount on a PPC Mac running OS 10.5.8 (neither Camera or Media Device works, the PPC Mac simply doesn't see it)? It mounts fine with Newer Intel Macs and Windoz via the Android File-Transfer or Moto Device Manager apps so no big deal, just curious etc (no BT on the old Mac either)?

Thanks again to all, the Atrix HD MAXX rocks (can't post outside links)!

Ok i couldn't find a place here on xda to place this so hopefully i don't get into trouble. I have a eb40 battery for sale. 3300 mAh 12.5Wh replacement for Motorola Droid Razr Maxx/XT912M/XT916. It's used for a short time. My best day was 5:30am to 11:00pm with heavy use. I play tapped out, clash of clans, surf the Web and use Flyne every hour. If interested let me know otherwise I'll just put it on eBay. Give me an offer worst I'll do is say no.

I just didn't like that it was a little thicker and my feather lite case didn't fit as is a form fitting.
[Motorola Atrix HD] light0070702:
just to keep people up to date

okay guys sorry about the late review on this battery i would tell everyone (this is my opinion)i cant say how big the eb40 is but this battery fits with the mods that everyone has listed the do actually give a 36 month warrenty the first one they shipped to me worked perfect i actually took it out one day to adjust a little and broke the cable on it i called them and with out questions they shipped me another just as fast saying that no matter what they hold out the warranty for their items the battery life goes for almost a day and half with extensive use. i love this battery and recomend it for anyone.
[Motorola Atrix HD] jjmai:
My Ballistic SG case no longer fits after the mod.

Time to search for a new case...
[Motorola Atrix HD] orangeisnon:
Try taking the back cover of the phone off (if you don't take the case off too much). It SHOULD fit if you do that. The Ballistic SG MAXX fits perfectly like that. If not, then try the MAXX or the Trident Aegis. The latter works well, but the plastic is thin and breaks easily. I do not ever recommend Otterbox.

After 6 month usage my battery want to get out. :o
[Motorola Atrix HD] robobub:
Ouch! Did you trim the compartment?

[MENTION=5257761]johnnyz86[/MENTION] Yea, I did. At least everything is working fine.
[Motorola Atrix HD] Truck'n Hemi:
Hey guys, really appreciate the battery mod. Is there any smaller battery to do this? I think the bulk the 3300mAh makes is pretty ugly, I was thinkin that mabe a 2200~2500mAh could make some look clean mod.
[Motorola Atrix HD] treefrog20012003:
I ended up buying a 2500Mah battery on eBay that was the same size as stock. Gets better life than stock but not as good as the eb40.
[Motorola Atrix HD] robobub:
What voltage range does your guys's EB40 have from 1% to 100%?

Since I love the EB40 in my phone, I bought another new one for a friend from the same place, ismartone on ebay, and it looked new. At first the phone wouldn't turn on, but the LED would turn on when I plugged it into the charger. I left it on the charger for 10 minutes and then it would turn on to the battery charging screen, reporting 1% battery left.

I then made it boot into the OS. After a couple minutes charging, it jumped to 100%. I left it on for an hour, then disconnected it, and then it was slowly going down like normal. However, after it hit 85% or so, it just suddenly died.

Then I had to charge it and it was back to 1% and the same thing repeated.

I tried clearing battery stats (/data/system/batterystats.bin) but it seemed similar. Now I'm trying to run the battery till it dies, it's been at 1% for quite a while. Then I'll charge it back to 100%, but is it possible I got a dud?

On my phone I've never actually let it run down to 1% so I don't know my lower bound.
[Motorola Atrix HD] orangeisnon:
Possible, yes. But try charging it to 100% with it off (power off then plug in, wait for it to tell you it's done) before assuming it's no good. Mine did something similar, but mine was from a broken MAXX (battery has puncture wounds - it's a miracle it works at all).

Batteries are weird.
[Motorola Atrix HD] robobub:
Anyone have voltage numbers? I found a thread for RAZR (non HD?) MAXX and they seem to get down to 3400 at 10%, with a 4.2V at 100%? Does that seem right for you guys?

We ran it down to 1% again, it died, and and it went back up to 100% again. I'm figuring once I get down to the real 1% and dies, when I turn it on it won't be at 100% like every other time. Then perhaps it will charge all the way up to the real 100%.

So far it's been like this voltage wise:

3.966V: 3%

...

3.725V: 1%

died

3.696V: 100%

...

3.663V: 1%

died

3.661V: 100%

EDIT:

After running it down over and over:

3.420V: 1%

full charge while off

4.135V: 100%

Then it died suddenly at 90% or so, though this time when I turned it on, it didn't say 1%.

I think I'll return it, it's behaving nothing like my Atrix HD with EB40.

That's what I want, better battery life without the hinch caused by the huge EB40 inside it. Could you tell me what model was the battery?
[Motorola Atrix HD] treefrog20012003:
I don't remember the model, not wanting to remove back to look, I searched for atrix hd extended battery on eBay and found several around 2500Mah give or take some.
[Motorola Atrix HD] TabascoTX:
Hey guys found this on eBay and bought one today. http://www.ebay.com/itm/351046185923 I'll let ya know how well it works. Its an EB20 @ 3300mah,so no case mod should be needed.
[Motorola Atrix HD] orangeisnon:
Just bought this as well. I'll do a comparison between it, the Motorola EB20, and Motorola EB40 when it arrives.
[Motorola Atrix HD] treefrog20012003:
I would run it dead once it's installed and then charge it up overnight. That way you get an accurate charge and hopefully a calibration.

What a shame! It won't ship to my country:,( I really need a better battery life...

I bought gold battery like this before for my moto defy, it claimed to have 2400mAh. after using it for few days, found out that it lasted almost the same as the 1 year old original 1500mAh battery. I remember a moto defy user using the same battery reported that the gold battery expanded after using it for some time. so be very careful when using this non-branded china made batteries. they might not have the same circuit protection like the original battery.
[Motorola Atrix HD] TabascoTX:
They do have another one on eBay that's supposed to be 2600 or 2800 mah, it ships from china, so you should be able to puck one up for under $20 USD.

Hello, is there any KitKat custom Rom without showing this great battery empty after 12h (actually it lasts 1-2 days more).

I have tried a lot, probam atm, but none works like the stockroms.
[Motorola Atrix HD] orangeisnon:
I'm using Carbon right now. It's 4.4.3. However, I haven't tested the battery life since installing. I'll do that tonight into tomorrow since I'm off from work tomorrow.

[Motorola Atrix HD] bylithium:
I want to ask a couple of questions for the people that already have this mod installed. I'm going to order an EB40 battery later on today.

Have you had any problems?

I've have heard about speaker problems, is it easy to fix? if so how?

Any overheating problems? I am using a stock battery right now, and i get up 105F or even more.
[Motorola Atrix HD] orangeisnon:
The speaker is a problem if you don't cut enough. I had to go back in twice and cut more, well after doing the mod. Once it's cut, it's fine.

My phone has been running for hours and isn't even a little warm. I don't have exact temperatures, but it's well below noticeable.

However, I have had very specific instances where it has heated up. This was due to ROM instability and not the battery itself. Even in these situations, it isn't unbearable and after rebooting and waiting a few minutes it's back to normal.

Besides this, the only other thing is that it's big. It fits fine in a large protective case, but smaller cases may not work. I actually needed to remove my back cover for it to fit in anything.
[Motorola Atrix HD] bylithium:
thanks. I don't use any cases :angel:
[Motorola Atrix HD] tordie:
And you have to take a stock Rom to unleash the full power of this battery. With custom Roms battery is shown empty after 1day, but lasts then 1 day more with 1% battery...

Maybe someone can tell me a custom Rom which fixed this behavior....
[Motorola Atrix HD] tordie:
By the way: you dont have to cut anything!!! I always bend the contacts of the speaker a bit and this way the speakers works without cutting anything!!! I have done this a dozent times.

I am wondering why you all didn't heared from that way ;) .... Its xda...
[Motorola Atrix HD] orangeisnon:
I wouldn't suggest that, only because if you break those contacts the speaker is useless. But if you've done it and it works, by all means. I prefer cutting, though.
[Motorola Atrix HD] tordie:
I tell you. It is much easier, looks/ fits better and has really near 0% risk. I never broke those contacts. You just can use the torx for the bending. And you can do that in little steps. No sound -> open again and bend a little bit more. Test again. Till you got it. My last atrix HD maxx took with this way just minutes for modding.

With my first i cut, and cut and cut. It worked but it took its time. I know, first time...

But i think my way the phone looks also better ;)

But at the end it is a personal decision.

P.s. sry for my bad english.y
[Motorola Atrix HD] orangeisnon:
Alright, I'll give it a try when I buy a new frame with speaker (I don't have a time frame right now). But for first time hardware modders I still recommend the more tedious, less risky cutting method. But like you said, personal preference.
[Motorola Atrix HD] orangeisnon:
Battery came in earlier, it arrived at 48% and I ran it to dead in a few hours (6?). It's charging now, and I'll start full testing when it's full. Only 35% now, so it'll be a while.

Size-wise, it's tiny. Super slim. Maybe slimmer than the stock EB20. It almost scares me how slim it is. It LOOKS wider than the EB's, but only because it doesn't have the black borders. Looks cool, actually.

I now have the back cover back on my phone!

P.S. no signature
[Motorola Atrix HD] treefrog20012003:
Yea the one i got seemed thinner than stock as well but it sure does last longer than stock. Keep us updated.
[Motorola Atrix HD] orangeisnon:
Well, it lasts shorter than the EB40 by a long shot. In just under 14 hours, it has run down to 2% once and 15% once, after each I've put it on the charger (I've been traveling all day, so it's needed). The phone was on airplane mode for a good portion of this (about 40%) and doesn't even use data. Screen has been on less than 3 hours total.

I'll try running it past 0 later, but I'm competing in a national competition (SkillsUSA) so I REALLY need access to a phone all day. I have the EB40 with me, so I may switch back tomorrow.

I will update.

signutr wat is
[Motorola Atrix HD] bylithium:
I just ordered my battery, should get here friday - tuesday. what i want to know is the speaker part, i am a bit confused. do i use the cutting method, if so how much do i cut?
[Motorola Atrix HD] orangeisnon:
With the Chinese EB20 gold thing, no cutting. Fits right in.

The Motorola EB40, on the other hand, will need either cutting or the bending method described above. Do whichever you want.

Nope.
[Motorola Atrix HD] bylithium:
i ordered an eb40. have you gotten an eb40 before?
[Motorola Atrix HD] orangeisnon:
Yeah, it's what I'm using now. I need it until the end of the week because I'm traveling and really need the battery life.

I will not confirm to your signature laws
[Motorola Atrix HD] Truck'n Hemi:
Thanks man, I'll do that and see if I can find anything like.

Realy nice, but you wrote 3300mAh and it is 3030mAh. Besides your mistake I'm anxious to see how it will perform, hope it is good enough!
[Motorola Atrix HD] bylithium:
So I have installed my eb40 but I am having the speaker issue. I have cut some of the plastic. Do I have to pull up the speaker pins?
[Motorola Atrix HD] treefrog20012003:
I actually cut out enough for the whole battery, didn't like the bulk it added and went back to a stock extended battery. But it was a lot of cutting.
[Motorola Atrix HD] bylithium:
I have fixed the issue, it is a lot of cutting. I don't like the bulk as well although I'll get use to it. [emoji106]
[Motorola Atrix HD] Farfolomew:
Hey, orange, any update on the EB20 Gold 3030mah battery? I ordered an EB40 but cancelled it when I read here about the Gold one. However, I don't want to get the Gold one if it's no better, or possibly even worse than stock EB20. You said it drops to 2% after 14 hours, but is that actually accurate? Maybe it's the custom ROM you're running that's reporting wrong battery level, like others have mentioned?

Any update on this, Tabasco?

Thanks
[Motorola Atrix HD] orangeisnon:
First time on in days.

Still haven't put the Gold battery back in since putting my Motorola EB40 back in. Compared to my EB40, I would say the 98% drop over 2 hours is pretty accurate. Unless it reaches 2% voltage and hangs there for another 10 hours.

I might not get a chance to test it again, either. My Atrix's SD card tray is going bad, most likely because I subject it to steam and high humidity on a regular basis (shower texter). I require an SD for my music, so I might switch to something else. I'm thinking about going HTC.

I would not recommend the Gold. That's my final verdict. Go with the EB40.
[Motorola Atrix HD] Farfolomew:
Yeah I ended up going with the EB40 because I did some more reading up on those gold batteries and apparently they're made for a lot of phones and everyone says they are no better than stock batteries. They're basically a scam in terms of their advertised capacities.

Also, this is a little off topic, but I want to upgrade my phone to Kit Kat in hopes it will run a bit faster/smoother, and other small things. What custom ROM would you recommend that's as close to the stock Motorola one as possible? Is it possible to just flash the system partition so I could keep all my apps and data? (I recently did this when I had to "reinstall" the Mexican stock ROM onto my Atrix HD after I corrupted some system files. After flashing just the system partition, my phone reverted to original image, but all my apps and user data were still there.). And finally, will the EB40 have issues with a custom ROM?

Thanks
[Motorola Atrix HD] orangeisnon:
Stock is not my area of expertise (if you can call it that). I haven't used a stock ROM since the day I got the phone. I have no idea how it looks or feels anymore. I also have no idea about data with stock. I'm no help there.

I can say that things like Cyanogen, AOKP, PAC, and Carbon are nothing like stock (since they're so customizable). I'd say go with straight AOSP, but that's giving you 'vanilla android' - not Motorola. You could always install Motorola's launcher, though.

As far as the eb40 having "problems" with customs, I haven't seen any. There's always the "it gets to 1% and stays for hours", but I've never had that either. I hit one and die within half an hour. So far I've used it no problem with CM, Carbon, and PAC.

Can you use it in a sentence?
[Motorola Atrix HD] Legza:
I am using EB40 for a couple of months and have some kind of a problem with it.

With very less usage my phone battery lasts for 2-3 days (I am using CM11) - ans everything seems to be OK. But with heavy usage (gps, games, 3g web surfing) my phone powers off in 2-3 minutes even with full battery. Then I manually power it on, and it continues to work normally - until I use some other heavy app and it powers off again.

I think about the overheating, but cannot say that it is very hot. And now I see some bad progress with this issue, my phone can shut off even when I start camera app, or make a call for several minutes. But now we have a high temperature outside, 35 degrees C (90 F) - so, maybe still overheating?

But never had such an issue with stock EB20. I have re-glued stock film tapes from from EB20, and I have also added heat conduction tape to my back cover to have better heat disposal from battery - but it doesn't help. Anyone has similar issue? Maybe my battery is faulty?
[Motorola Atrix HD] pijes:
try using the phone while charging it. guaranteed to increase the battery temp.
[Motorola Atrix HD] orangeisnon:
Before assuming it's faulty, swap back with the EB20. If your problems persist, it's something else. If not, you may have a bad battery on your hands. DO NOT put it back in if it is bad. Lithium polymer batteries can be extremely dangerous if faulty.

Try it out, see what happens.

99 problems but a Sig ain't one
[Motorola Atrix HD] Legza:
pijes when being on charge, surprisingly, everything works ok, I can play games, etc. BTW, the battery temp seems to be even lower while charging. At least the temp that I can see in settings.

orangeisnon unfortunately I have broken the flex cable on EB20 :( No way back.
[Motorola Atrix HD] orangeisnon:
EB20s are super cheap on eBay. I don't know what your location is, but there's http://pages.ebay.com/link/?nav=item.view&id=321320497524&alt=web <-- that one in the states. I would definitely grab one, even if just as a backup (why I'm keeping the gold one).

Dont need to cut anything for the battery to fit property. Just remove the back cover and unscrew the top cover of the phone. set battery and then screw the 2 screws to it and put back bothe the cover and back part of the phone. and done. It should fit perfect with a small bump in the center of the phone with a tiny gap around where the sim card goes.

It's already been mentioned that this works sometimes, while other times it prohibits the speaker from working. Try it for yourself, then cut if you need to.
