Well, another option would be to work harder, make more money and buy a spare ONE to continue the legacy after the battery of the first one has died.
[One (M7) General] darkgoon3r96:
I am not 100% sure but I think you can get your battery replaced in an HTC store, you'll have to pay if your warranty has run out..
[One (M7) General] Basil3:
Yes but HTC are very clever. Your battery will die one day after your warranty expires.
[One (M7) General] Basil3:
I forgot that on xda you have to clarify when you're joking....

[One (M7) General] Dharkan:
Is battery really dies in 2 years? I'm planning to use it longer than 2 years. If so I will buy something else. Please give a serious answer. Thanks.
[One (M7) General] shox22:
Of course not... Why should the battery die in 2 years? I use my hd2 for more then 3 years now. Still with the first battery.
[One (M7) General] shady121:
In my s1 it became very weak after 1.5 years so I bought Anker.

Why you think that HTC ONE will be different?

And I plan to use it for more than 3 years like I am using my S1 now.
[One (M7) General] wtfshouldidonow:
Because you're talking about Samsung :rolleyes: Never thought why Samsung makes replaceable batteries? It's because they know that the batteries will die eventually because they intentionally do that, in order to make more money once you buy another battery for your aging Samsung device :p
[One (M7) General] Mantelinho:
There are already plenty of tutorials how to replace battery for the HTC One X, I bet there will be some for the M7 soon. At least if you're not afraid of disassemble your beloved phone (I'd say after 2 years inhibitions get more or less lost :) ) and you're not all thumbs, you can do this yourself after all.
[One (M7) General] darkgoon3r96:
Well, that's the thing, you can't exactly open up the HTC One if ifxit are anything to go by... but even after two years, there will be the HTC store to pay a bit of money to and get it replaced... even after the warranty has run out
[One (M7) General] rkial:
I've had my current iphone 4 for 2.5 years. Has had 500 charge cycles and still has 90% of its original capacity. Not bad at all.

No contracts here. If I'm spending ~$750 on a phone, I'd expect it to last 2 years. Battery life is important.. but going by the way my iphone battery has gone, I'm not too concerned about it dying on me.. unless its a faulty piece.
[One (M7) General] snowblind2142:
Well, im on a 24 month contract so should do me just fine

Just hope the One keeps its re sale value like the HD2 and SGSII
[One (M7) General] shady121:
Where can I find if there is HTC STORE in my country (Israel)?

I now that we have HTC lab here but I dont now if its like HTC store.
[One (M7) General] Dharkan:
Well this doesn't make sense for many people. I use phones until they break or get too old. Having need to replace a phone like HTC One in 2 years makes it no go for me.
[One (M7) General] BenPope:
The battery won't suddenly die.

After many charge cycles the battery will have noticeably less capacity. Perhaps 20% on 1000 charges. That's 3 years, unless you're a very heavy user. It will still work.
[One (M7) General] darkgoon3r96:
I need to charge my phone twice a day because of low cell coverage and heavy usage, I also live in the Middle East which is extremely hot which considerably lowers the span of a battery, that should make it to a year I think.. although it doesn't matter much to me if I can get it replaced in a store..
[One (M7) General] skr_xd:
I'm in UAE. I had to charge twice per day with previous devices including one x. With new ONE, charging only once.

Also, my hd2 which I sold to my friend here is still working with it's 3yr old battery:)
[One (M7) General] BenPope:
That's a year for a 20% drop in battery capacity... It'll still work.

There's often a local mobile repair shop that should be able to replace a battery, although I don't think anybody has published a successful tear down yet.
[One (M7) General] darkgoon3r96:
In case you hadn't noticed, I own a Note II, so when I say I have to charge twice, I mean it for the One too..

20% is too much to lose for someone like me who is always using his phone.. so I really hope that a successful teardown is posted soon for this phone, because in EVERY other way, this phone has been nothing but magnificent.. It'd be a shame for it's zero gap unibody to be the reason I don't get it...
[One (M7) General] Nokiacrazi:
I'm using my DHD since November 2010. Same original battery. No problems runs like a champ :)
[One (M7) General] The Wrinkly Ninja:
In the unlikely event of needing a battery replacement inside warranty, you'll get it done at no cost.

If outside warranty, then you're free to either take to a repairers or pick up a replacement off Ebay and DIY. By then, there'll be tear-downs on Youtube and ample OEM or copy batteries coming out of China.

I don't imagine the design is so radically different that a case opener and a couple of Torx bits won't fix it in 10 minutes.

I similarly doubt that all HTC ones around the world will suddenly cease working after 730 days and suspect that this is no more than a wind-up by dubious secondary reporting of a self-styled "expert".

Step 19

HTC One Repairability Score: One out of 10 (10 is easiest to repair)

Very, very difficult (possibly impossible?) to open the device without damaging the rear case. This makes every component extremely difficult to replace.

The battery is buried beneath the motherboard and adhered to the midframe, hindering its replacement.

The display assembly cannot be replaced without removing the rear case—this will make the most common repair, a damaged screen, nearly impossible.

Copper shielding on many components is difficult to remove and replace.

Solid external construction improves durability.
[One (M7) General] stevedebi:
I don't know about overseas, but there are no HTC stores here in the US. If and when the battery gets too weak, I will either send it back to HTC for battery replacement, or more likely just get a new phone (in two years, they will be even more advanced). I suspect that this phone will have to go back to HTC regardless of where you live, but I don't know for certain.

This will be my first fixed battery phone, and the first without SD Card capability. But I like the design, and I'm ordering the 64Gb model, so it should be OK.

For my personal battery use, it should last through the day. I manage to get 1 full day out of my current Amaze 4G, which is really notorious for bad battery use.

EDIT: I have been reading up on LiIon / LiPoly batteries. The car companies think they may last about 20 years if the cars keep the charge between 50% and 80%. 15 years in hotter environments. Of course, that kind of control is not possible in a phone, but simple for the computer programming of an electric or hybrid vehicle.
[One (M7) General] pack21:
One aspect is good, if our ONE have any problem within warranty, the repair services will havent other chance than give a new phone ...or may start blame owners for the any repair issue = bad feedback.

We will probably see many warranty disputes in future.

HTC dont thought about this....lool
[One (M7) General] :
I'm six months at a push haha.. Off my head.
[One (M7) General] BarryH_GEG:
It's not milk, there’s no specific expiration date. How long it lasts and what percentage of capacity you lose over time all depends on the number of charging cycles. And charging cycles are counted from completely depleted to completely full. So going from 50% to full is half a charging cycle. The One's battery should be good for at least 500 charging cycles. That means if you completely discharge and charge every day the battery will last for 18 months. I'd guess with the One's efficiency people will probably average a half-charge a day or less which means the battery would last for three years. Keeping the phone on AC power when you're at your desk at work and overnight would extend the life of the battery. The battery will lose about 30 second of capacity each time it completes a full charging cycle. So at the end of 500 charging cycles you'll have lost three hours of available usage time.
[One (M7) General] c5satellite2:
This is a non issue. The battery should easily last several years unless it is defective or it is exposed to extreme heat. The biggest enemy of the electrolyte is extreme heat. Just don't leave it in your broiling car in the summer and you will be fine. Under ideal conditions it should last for AT LEAST 10 years. In reality you should be fine for 3-5 years. By then you WILL want a new phone. Some pretty sick stuff will be out in 18-24 months that will blow this phone away. Until then just enjoy what is probably the best phone available.

[One (M7) General] stevedebi:
I've not had a Li-Ion battery hold a decent charge for more that 500 cycles. Do you have a source for this? Two years is about 700 cycles.

(although I think 3 years is quite probable, I don't think that at 5 years it will be viable due to loss of capacity).
[One (M7) General] darkgoon3r96:
This is a non-issue to some, maybe many people, but as the guy above you stated, it should last for 500 charging cycles, I use my phone in the Middle East (as hot as it gets) and I use my Note II so much that I have to charge it twice most of the days per week, some days, I just use my laptop, so for me this is a huge issue unless the battery CAN be changed which for now, it can't...

500 charging cycles TO ME means 250 days under worst case scenario, or the more likely case of 1 year... and this doesn't even take heat into account.
[One (M7) General] godofwar424:
If it dies under 2 years htc will replace it for free making it a non issue.

Also seriously don't go by ifixit as there's already be rumours that they went about it the wrong way, teardowns more successful will be posted as with every device and don't think HTC decided to build a phone they can't repair...
[One (M7) General] pack21:
I hope so,

If i saw a way i can open without damaging it, i will buy one immediately with eyes closed. We should respect and understand that many consumers in the world can't buy new $700 phones every two years, they should have the option to change the battery if wish keep the phone for a few more years or given it to a friend.

Bad would be the day that our laptops start coming with sealed batteries, impossible to replace.
[One (M7) General] c5satellite2:
Yes after about 500 full discharge and charge cycles it is about 10% capacity loss. Depth of discharge is an important factor here. If you never let it go below 50% before charging, it would only lose 5% after 500 cycles, if you never let go below 75% then you would only see a 2.5% decrease in capacity after 500 cycles and so on. Again it is the heat that degrades the electrolyte, and charging does produce heat.

Again, with current pack technology this should not be an issue for 90+% of the people for at least 3+ years before they lose 10% capacity. If you fully discharge every day then you will lose 10% capacity in about a year and a half and 20-25% after three years.

Lesson 1: charge your phone more often, it actually wears the battery less.

Lesson 2: heat is li-ion's worst enemy, far worse than charge cycles. Do not leave your phone in your broiling car if it is over 90 degrees IN the car or anywhere else that is hot. Technically around 86 degrees is where the damage starts. As it gets hotter, the damage is greater. It is not linear either, but a curve that gets steeper as the temp increases. Keep your phone away from heat!

In 2 years we should have sulfur batteries anyway, and hopefully with graphene. These issues will fade away soon enough. Li-S alone has much better characteristics and capacity, but with graphene we should be able to increase capacity by AT LEAST 10X.

You seem to have some knowledge about this subject. What would you recommend for the first few charges?

I've heard numerous things.
[One (M7) General] 3473:
I don't know about you, but I'll definitely have a new phone way before then
[One (M7) General] c5satellite2:
Doesn't matter too much. Ni-mh and ni-cad had memory issues if not charged properly, but li-ion does not suffer from this. Personally I charge it to 100% out of the box and then charge as often as possible to avoid deep discharges and my batteries have held up really well. Again HEAT is your biggest enemy. Running it down to 0 and then full charging does nothing for li-ion other than creating more heat. Charging it from 0 will always end up with higher internal temperature than a partial charge. Charge as often as possible. Less heat less wear on the electrolyte, and more battery when you need it.

[One (M7) General] epicfailguy2:
Best way to save your battery from wear is to charge your phone at night only with the USB 2.0 cable on a USB 2.0 computer or laptop.

Because USB has only 0.5 amps of output the charge will be very slow, and very consistent, with less heat, giving the battery more battery life. And you can afford to charge it very slowly because a night of sleep lasts 8 hours.

You can also buy a 0,5 amps microUSB "night charger" and use the standard 1amp charger only when you need fast charges.

I believe this is the best and simplest method to save battery life instead of running around for a charger everytime it goes below 50%...
[One (M7) General] c5satellite2:
You could do that, but it really isn't necessary. Factory HTC charger is just fine. The proper charger for a battery is actually based on capacity. A 2300mah battery should use a 2.3 amp charger. Charging circuit adjusts current automatically as it charges, starts off high and lowers it as it goes. Shorter duration of heat exposure with the right charger. I have fast charging enabled with a 1.7 amp charger and my battery life hasn't really changed over the last 10 months. Phone charges in half the time. Never gets hot while charging. Warm yes, but batteries get warm when charging. Also, once it reaches 100% the charging circuit stops charging so you can leave it plugged in without worry.

[One (M7) General] ECEXCURSION:
What we should really respect is the creator's design choices of not including a replaceable battery. If that is your primary concern buy a different phone. There are many others to chose from. This phone clearly isn't marketed to cater to that crowd.

And laptops do come with sealed batteries.. look at the new MacBooks.

[One (M7) General] iwantanandroid:
Got a link for the night charger?
[One (M7) General] stevedebi:
You know, most all of the USBs are .5. Only specific ones are rated a 1. So basically just about any USB power adaptor will work for the "slow" charge. I use one that came with my Kindle.
[One (M7) General] pack21:
You refer not be able to exchange a damaged battery or not be removable?

I'm talking about having the ability to put a new battery case my be damaged, i'm a heavy user that doesn't want to worry about charging several times a day, drain to 0, and not having set off some functions to save battery, so don't expect my battery still be very good after two years of heavy use.

I don't intend fool anyone or some friend with a tired battery case i want sell in the future, or if i want to offer to a family friendly.

The common answer "You will buying a new phone after 2 years", is not an option for my $ 700 investment ( my nephew still uses happily the HD2 i bought in 2009).

I think I was clear, I just want to make sure there is a way to open the ONE for battery replacement, until now i haven't seen any confirmation\ demonstration or HTC explanation.

yes, if not possible, in my case I will consider another phone as is explicit in my signature, what is a pity because I liked ONE.

btw, i dont said laptops do come with sealed batteries. :)
[One (M7) General] shady121:
Can somebody find confirmation if it's possible to change battery?

I looked for it but it looks like nobody care about this.
[One (M7) General] darkgoon3r96:
For now there isn't any way to change battery and almost no one is concerned because most of the people will change their phone within two years of warranty throughout which you can get your battery changed.
[One (M7) General] Pumå:
The non-replecable battery isn't a issue in my eyes.

I personally don't use a phone more than 2 years because when my contract expires, I always get a new one. During these 2 years, if anything happens to your battery, you will get a new phone anyways or the battery replaced. But seeing the iFixit-Post of opening a HTC One, I think you will get a new phone ^^

By the way: The new generation of Li-Polymer batterys don't lose much capacity in a year if you take care of it. Just google it how you can slow down the process of capacity-loss. I know some people using the same Smartphone since 4 years and up, they still make it through the day. Just take care of the battery!
