So after having all three batteries here, I took the new S7 edge battery for another testrun. I returned the first one I got, because it was deep discharged when I got it and didn't return too impressive results. So this was the first rundown with the replacement battery.

This time I flashed XtreStoLite 3.3.1 with N0G33k V2 kernel, installed all my apps and charged the battery to 100%. I started a random YouTube-video next and let it run automatically in 1080p over (a rather weak) WiFi, with 50% auto brightness and a pretty silent audio setting.

Screen on time: 8h 53min

Overall: 17h 32min

From time to time, I checked the battery stats and played around with the phone a little bit. At one point I installed a couple Xposed modules, which needed a few reboots. So the gaps in the screenshots are those reboots. One of the modules put the device into a boot loop. That's the large gap. I managed to disable Xposed via TWRP. The screen was on the entire time, which was about 15 minutes before being able to boot back into android. So the actual screen on time with the boot loop and the various reboots is actually even longer. More like 9h 05min.

One word on the standby time: I tried to suck the battery dry yesterday, which didn't work. I went to bed with the S6 having 7% battery left. Woke up 7 hours later to 6% battery left and started up YouTube again. Calibration was still off, because with 1% left I could run videos pretty long (~2 hours). I checked the battery stats various times during the last percent, because I couldn't believe it was still running :D. Even before the phone hit the 1% mark, I was already getting nearly 7h screen on time.

I made the following kernel tweaks: Maximum A53 clock speed is 1200 MHz, maximum A57 is 1600 MHz, maximum GPU is 544 MHz. All chips are undervolted by 6,25 mV on all clock speeds and maximum active cores are limited to 6 (instead of 8). I may undervolt by another 6,25 mV if everything is stable. Since I don't play any games, there are no performance issues with these settings. No noticable differences in everyday usage. I also changed the doze settings via Synapse, so Android uses doze mode 5 minutes after the screen was turned off.

Bottom line: I'll definitely keep using the S7 edge battery. Screen on time is absolutely crazy, especially for a 2K display.

Using a 0.5 mm double sided tape is perfect for using the S7 edge battery without the NFC-pad imho. As you can see in a previous post, I peeled off the color from my backcover. With the right lighting, the Samsung logo on the cover is casting an offset shadow onto the battery, which means there's a small gap between cover and battery. So the cover doesn't put pressure on the battery. This is a relieve tbh, because I don't want the phone to blow up obviously :D But of course, there's always a risk using this mod, so everyone should be aware that this is not safe.
[Galaxy S6 Accessories] pad11:
Did the mod with a s7 edge battery and its awesome, got over 6 hours onscreen-gaming time, impressive results.

the only problem is the calibration, after the battery drops to 1% there is still about 30% left :D

Wish someone could compile a s6 kernel with the s7 edge battery files from source , so that the kernel expects a 3600mah battery instead of 2550 :) the problem would dissapear
[Galaxy S6 Accessories] chalid:
Discharging the battery completely (so the phone shuts down) and then charging it to 100% (until the LED is green) solved the calibration problem for me.
[Galaxy S6 Accessories] merwan:
hi

great job but don't forget to change value in system/etc/floating_feature.xml from

<SEC_FLOATING_FEATURE_SETTINGS_CONFIG_BATTERY_CAPACITY>2550 mAh</SEC_FLOATING_FEATURE_SETTINGS_CONFIG_BATTERY_CAPACITY>

to

<SEC_FLOATING_FEATURE_SETTINGS_CONFIG_BATTERY_CAPACITY>3600 mAh</SEC_FLOATING_FEATURE_SETTINGS_CONFIG_BATTERY_CAPACITY>

hope this gives something good.
[Galaxy S6 Accessories] Manveer@321:
Hello, done this mod a week ago but seems battery don't charge above 2550mah, seems like the stock battery. done the calibration on the first days from 0 to 100%, should I root?
[Galaxy S6 Accessories] TSever:
Hi all my battery has arrived today. I bought it from retail samsung autorised service. I will try tu exchange battery on weekend.
[Galaxy S6 Accessories] TSever:
There is no line like this
[Galaxy S6 Accessories] Lucoso46:
Hi Guys, i've put the s7 flat framework in my current rom (Alexis) and nothing chanced.. maybe is the battery that has to calibrate. Rom installed on sunday
[Galaxy S6 Accessories] Z3PHYR:
So I have an idea for us who have a galaxy s6 edge.

We have a different connector but we could possibly put the connector from our current batery to the new one.

I have a Picture of how this can be done but its from a xperia z battery, but it should be the same for all others.
[Galaxy S6 Accessories] TSever:
Sorry my bad. İ have found and replaced lines. Now i am calibratin battery.
[Galaxy S6 Accessories] chalid:
There's no need to open the battery's electronics. Just charge the battery to 100%, let it discharge completely and charge again to 100%. It's calibrated afterwards. Every battery loses capacity over time. If the OS couldn't handle those variations, we'd all have completely messed up battery meters after a couple of month of usage (with the original battery). Also: The S7 battery charges to 100% even at first usage. Only the calibration is off, because you can run the phone for another couple of hours when it hits the 1% mark.

After the above mentioned calibration, everything works as expected. I'm using the S7 edge battery for 9 days now without any problems. The phone dies after a short amount of time, when the battery hits 1%.
[Galaxy S6 Accessories] ama3654:
With the S7 edge battery, will the phone calibrate on stock kernel no rooting?
[Galaxy S6 Accessories] igorrasic:
yes
[Galaxy S6 Accessories] Darktitor:
Hi

I've bought mine from Ebay from this seller and it is original as far as I know

http://www.ebay.fr/itm/BATTERIE-ORIGINALE-INTERNE-NEUVE-POUR-SAMSUNG-GALAXY-S7-EDGE-/152305635877?hash=item23761f9225:g:weYAAOSw44BYHIeE

If you don't care about the price have a look here

http://www.brico-phone.com/batterie-pour-samsung-galaxy-s7-edge.htm

It's famous in France, they got their part directly from Samsung
[Galaxy S6 Accessories] Darktitor:
Yeah for sure bricophone is selling originals directly from Samsung
[Galaxy S6 Accessories] mdcool:
Same here. First battery appeared to be a Stock S6 Flat battery with S7e sticker, so at least I got a new S6 battery instead of old worn out battery. Second one is even smaller than S6 battery, but not shorter (AFAIK, S7 flat is shorter, narrower but thicker), so it's an ultimate lie.

In attachments

1, 2 - first battery. Very S6-like, not stock, with some legit S7e sticker. Used in my phone right now, counted as 2500+mAh by AccuBattery (instead of 1900 with old battery).

3, 4, 5 - second battery. Narrower than S6, same thickness and length. Weird stickers. Don't even want to disassemble my phone to try this garbage.
[Galaxy S6 Accessories] Darktitor:
Check out iFixit when they'll have it back in stock

https://fr.ifixit.com/Store/Parts/Galaxy-S7-Edge-Battery/IF329-033
[Galaxy S6 Accessories] Dyn4myT:
DO NOT ORDER FROM IFIXIT, THEY ARE FAKE BATTERY, MINE WILL GO BACK TO THEM. THINNER THAN THE S6 ORIGINAL WITH 2350mah

Sorry for the capital. I just don't want you to buy this garbage.

Very disappointed.

Do you have a good and reliable seller in us / canada?

Thanks
[Galaxy S6 Accessories] igorrasic:
Just buy it at some samsung repair centre, and it wouldn't be a fake one.
[Galaxy S6 Accessories] TSever:
Hi are you "Christophe BISCOVE" from Discuss, he had same problem as you. i bought battery from reatil Samsung Service Provider. It was a bit more expensive but it is originality guarenteed. I am using battery for a week and before replacement i had to charge the phone twice a day for heavy usage and now i am getting 2 Workdays with single charge. But this time i am getting overheating isue on heavy usage Like Google Navi, Blouetooth connected car and spotify music listening over lte on the car at the same time. In this condititon ı am getting a full dayy battery life but after 3 hours of usage ı am getting over heating warning on phone screen and when i check it, it felt really hot. I checked the battery temp at this time, it showed 49.5C. My phone is 920FD model and i am using 2 simcards actively.
[Galaxy S6 Accessories] Dyn4myT:
Yes it's me.

My "local" service don't sold the battery alone. I have to buy the service also, (changing the battery) for 159$ +TX...

I have contacted Samsung. I'll let you know.
[Galaxy S6 Accessories] TSever:
woala.. its so expensive. you can buy a new phone with seeling s6 and add 160+ $
[Galaxy S6 Accessories] Jammed_Death:
hi, since my galaxy s6 is already open (water), i want to replace the battery with the s7 edge one.

First of all, a safe place to buy good battery from europe? Can't trust ebay sellers.

Then, i install it and charge it full with phone off for a couple of times to calibrate, right?
[Galaxy S6 Accessories] Zakelinho:
Bought battery off Aliexpress, "2850 mAh". Expected atleast 2200+ mAh, got 1900 mAh. Never again :)
[Galaxy S6 Accessories] grunera:
Just got this one from eBay (phone expert 78) and, according to accubattery) it's a 2450mAh... instead of 3600mAh. Less than original samsung. F**k. Got to buy a new one.
[Galaxy S6 Accessories] Jammed_Death:
i contacted samsung in chat and they told me to buy from official samsung reseller, you can find online...i asked if they can sold me one but they didn't have one in the italy store. I don't know if was a lie, but try directly to ask sasmung in chat, maybe you're lucky
[Galaxy S6 Accessories] cavags5:
Do you trust accubattery, that app give false results.

The battery you have its good.

I try that app weeks ago, and first give me 3600mAp after few days 2600.

Big crap, and drain the battery.
[Galaxy S6 Accessories] Jammed_Death:
well you can monitor the total charge (from 0 to 100) to see how many mah it gets till full...

i got bad luck too from an ebayer, the s7 edge battery was thinner than the s6 one...now i ordered another one with correct size and will see if it's 3600mah
[Galaxy S6 Accessories] grunera:
For sure, it might not be really accurate but the S7 edge battery is thinner than S6 battery. So strange... And with this supposed S7 edge 3600mAh battery i've lost hours of power...

Got to find a "real one"
[Galaxy S6 Accessories] Manveer@321:
Hello, I bought a battery a month on the internet thinking it was the original, however the results have remained the same as the original.

Last week I decided to buy another one and now yes, the results are surprising.

distinguish a fake battery from an original, notice a black sideband on the original.
[Galaxy S6 Accessories] Jammed_Death:
pics please, place when you bought, moar informations!! :D
[Galaxy S6 Accessories] Darktitor:
I've bought two from them and they're originals. Maybe something is wrong with your app but the battery is original
[Galaxy S6 Accessories] lynxblaine:
Interesting thing to note. If you are in the UK your phone is a 'unibody' design so the battery is covered for 2 years same as the phone. If you send it for repair saying poor battery life they will replace it in warranty. I did this and now am getting easily a full day on my S6 edge.
[Galaxy S6 Accessories] grunera:
The one from Brico phone is thinner than the original s6 and last less time than my 1,5 years old original battery.

The one from eBay is thicker but it last not more than the original battery...

Strange.
[Galaxy S6 Accessories] ikkeeuu:
I have bought an original battery and the results are amazing! On the first two cycles, the phone stayed at 1 procent for at least 3 hours. But now that the battery is calibrated, it shows the right percentage. When I tried killing the battery, I had 8hours and 40 min screen on time and my phone is fully stock. Right now, I have 3 hours 30 min screen on time and I have 46% left. Everyone who is having doubts, just do it! And make sure the battery is original.

For the people living in the BeNeLux, I have bought the battery (100% original) from gsmbatterij.be.
[Galaxy S6 Accessories] TSever:
yes results are getting better with original s7 edge battery after 2 weeks of fully charge and use until phone will death.

By the way if you will remove the wireless charging pad (you need to be carefull pads connectors must not touch the phones metal midframe you have to tape the surface area when you close phones midframe) back cover seats like originall. Also i have used this 3m glue for re seating backcover ( https://www.aliexpress.com/item/3pc...32393258790.html?spm=2114.13010608.0.0.muwbC7 )

Best regards.

The case is amazing....

With this case protecting my phone and with the huge 8500 mAh Battery packed inside I'm good to go out for a crazy weekend and not worry so much about damaging my phone or have ingredients my battery died.

During heavy usage I usually get about 6-8 hrs, which this case I can get close to 40!

Light usage I don't need to plug in my charger for a week!

I love the feature of maintaining fast charge and data transfer abilities without having to remove the case.

Another advantage of this massive battery is the added ability charge other devices as well using the #2 output

Super product only thing on the cons side is that it is rather bookie and very heavy if you plan on holding it For a long, but we havr to keep in mind It is an 8500 mAh Battery capacity Which is by far the largest I've seen for any case and up there with largest of external battery packs.

With that being said if you are looking to get an extra few days worth of juice from you battery and don't want to carry an extra battery with cord around, this is definitely the product for you.

Highly recommended this for those who find the S6 battery disappointing!

The screenshots show the size comparison to my previous case, the OtterBox Defender case.

Thank you for the information.

First test of new S7 Edge battery. Accubattery lists it as only 2391mah for the estimate. I have charged it fully and ran until empty and these were the results.

Battery is better than my original degraded one but I'm hoping it gets better as I was able to get 8+ hours SOT on the stock 2550mah battery when it was new using Xtrestolite 3.3.1 and this new battery seems to be only marginally better.
[Galaxy S6 Accessories] Windforce0511:
But you can only charge it to 2550mah.
[Galaxy S6 Accessories] l0ud_sil3nc3:
So if that's the case then what would be the point of buying an S7 Edge battery vs an OEM S6 battery?

All I have done is install the new battery which was extremely easy (took all of 25 minutes) and charged/discharged from full to empty, no editing of anything files like I saw someone post a few pages back. My first screens were on Noble Experience 2.0 with Arter's Kernel doing a test run on Alexis End of MM with the stock kernel included. Try [MENTION=2086526]lizaSB[/MENTION] kernel next on Noble Experience 3.0. Thanks [MENTION=6114446]AlexisXDA[/MENTION] for these awesome rom's that have brought new life to my S6!

I have 5 hours of sot with original battery and debloated rom
[Galaxy S6 Accessories] Izy:
Yeah but do you normally do 2 hours of voice calls lol and 2 hours of straight web browsing from the looks of it
[Galaxy S6 Accessories] chalid:
After a couple of weeks with the S7edge battery, AccuBattery showing an average of:

7h 30m screen on

98h 30m screen off

73h 29m combined use

I usually get 3 days of usage with 2,5 h screen on time with 1,5 h voice calls, 3G only, autosync on and 50% brightness. That's 1 day more than with the original battery.
[Galaxy S6 Accessories] l0ud_sil3nc3:
This guy gets it :good:

Voice calls eat up much more mah than SOT for me. Noble Experience 3.0 testing now post results shortly.
[Galaxy S6 Accessories] nathanaelhorn:
It works! I'm going to fully charge it and then test the improved battery life!
[Galaxy S6 Accessories] scialbaa:
Following the advice of this Thread i just ordered a s7 battery, i will be happy even if the battery last long as the s6 original one, as i can barely do 2.30/3. SOT with a debloated rom, greenify and amplify blocking everything basically

Just want to ask to the experts people here how to glue the cover back to the phone once i've finished the replacement process. Do i have to use the tape which is in the phone or do i need to buy that 3M bisided tape?

Thanks guys
[Galaxy S6 Accessories] mdcool:
You'd better buy 3M tape at least 0.5 mm thick. S7 and S7e batteries are thicker, even if stock glue will close the cover you'd better leave some space for battery.
[Galaxy S6 Accessories] scialbaa:
Thanks for help, will do!
[Galaxy S6 Accessories] Dyn4myT:
Hi,

Is it possible that there are at least 2 types of s7 edge battery (one for the 935f and one for the 935w8) and one of them doesn't work properly with our s6?

Thank you
[Galaxy S6 Accessories] scialbaa:
Afaik both phone are infact the same identical phone, the w8 is the canadian version but everything inside should be the same as the s7 edge international
[Galaxy S6 Accessories] scialbaa:
Yesterday my battery has arrived and after opened my galaxy s6 i've replaced it with my new shiny 3000 Mah. My phone is actually discharging so i will post the results and the SOT at the end of the day.
[Galaxy S6 Accessories] mdcool:
Don't forget to actually leave it drain till shutting down itself. My new 3600 mAh battery lasted 1h more SOT on 1% under quite heavy usage (some Ingress, lots of Google Maps, some camera usage, 3G data connection).
[Galaxy S6 Accessories] scialbaa:
My phone just died and i was able to take some screenshot minutes before the shutdown, was about 5.15 minutes SOT with heavy internet browsing, videos on both 3g and wifi, and a 30 min phone call. Will upload the screen tomorrow. I tought the battery could last a little longer, but i guess moving from 3.40 SOT to 5.15 on the same Rom/kernel/clock is a nice upgrade!

Hi, someone can give me the exactly measures of s7 edge battery? I want to try this mod, but i need to know if it can fit in s6 edge, thank you.
[Galaxy S6 Accessories] gomek111222:
i live in turkey. whre can i buy genuine s7 edge battery? can you provide me a link that you have bought from?
[Galaxy S6 Accessories] gmajnkek:
Where did you buy your s7 battery from? can you provide some link? Thanks.
[Galaxy S6 Accessories] scialbaa:
Just bought it off italian amazon https://www.amazon.it/gp/product/B00BD1LX5G/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o00_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1

but beside that i update my phone to a 7.0 rom and after the battery drained itself to zero my phone isnt able to boot up again. battery gauge says phone is at 90/95 while it has just died in front of me. Even tried to restore my stock rom 6.0 which i made a backup before but nothing. Phone can boot up and then after 5 secs onto the main screen it will try too bootloop again.

Currently letting it charge alone.

EDIT: Disassembled my phone and just realized the connector of the battery was basically all cut up from side to side, thats probabily the reason of the phone not being able to boot up without being plugged to a socket. The s7 battery (3000) mAh is smaller than the s6 stock one and i decided not to glue it to the frame, so it probabily moved and ripped itself apart.
[Galaxy S6 Accessories] gmajnkek:
So now that you fixed this is everything OK? I will probably order a S7 edge battery. Just need to find one, that looks like and original.
[Galaxy S6 Accessories] scialbaa:
Sorry sir, ordered s7 edge battery too, but didnt yet recive it. I can confirm that the previous s7 flat battery was working flawlessy for more than 1 week, then that accident happened.
[Galaxy S6 Accessories] huyhung411991:
Can you tell me how much is the S7 edge battery thicker than the S6 battery?
[Galaxy S6 Accessories] mdcool:
~0.7-1 mm, see attached pics.
[Galaxy S6 Accessories] huyhung411991:
How about S7 flat battery, is it thinner than the S7E's or they have the same thickness? I'm going to order one of the two, but I'm still worried about dust/water getting inside the phone if they don't fit properly.
[Galaxy S6 Accessories] mdcool:
People here said that S7flat battery if just smaller than S7edge, not thinner. So I guess both cases need better sealing after replacing the battery.
[Galaxy S6 Accessories] iamronin:
How can you prevent this movement and what do you recommend as a glue to secure the battery to the frame?
[Galaxy S6 Accessories] mdcool:
Stock SGS6 battery is glued with thin double sided tape. I separated it from old battery and used to stick the new SGS7e battery. Seems to hold well.
[Galaxy S6 Accessories] scialbaa:
In my case i will use the same tape i used to glue the cover back to the phone and replace the stock glue under the battery. Didnt use 3M tape but surprisingly antother one from a good brand, labelled as "strong" which i bought in an hardware store did work very well! all 4 sides were perfectly fitting the frame like before :D
[Galaxy S6 Accessories] gmajnkek:
Order a s7 edge battery from ebay (ireland), got it in 4 days (kinda to fast-unbelivable). After i will get some "tools" i will post how the results. Hope it will be eazy
[Galaxy S6 Accessories] scialbaa:
Sorry for the wait guys, the battery i ordered from amazon turned out to be 3000 mah not 3600, so im still waiting for the correct battery to arrive so i can test nougat + s7 edge battery combo
[Galaxy S6 Accessories] gmajnkek:
Well finaly changed my s6 battery for s7e battery. Was hard on geting the back off (no heat gun, bit a fan did it). Well everything else was eazy to manage, except the last step (closing the back on its position). Used hot glue, had some problems, but now thats done its perfect ;)

Whats best to do now? Discharge to null and than full charge? What about calibrating the battery?
[Galaxy S6 Accessories] orbgel10:
Power off, full charge and then boot up.

Next step let the battery go to 0.
