OK, I'm out.

My CS has started the power off thing - powered off at 20% yesterday with barely 2.5 hours screen on time. Plug it in, boot up - 21% battery.

I've been putting off the inevitable I think but it seems time to sell the 6P while I'll still get something for it.

I am not paying stupid money for a new phone comparable to the 6P so I've ordered a Moto G5s Plus. Slightly smaller screen, lower end CPU but I'm not a gamer and I just need a phone I can depend on. Of everything out there it seemed the best compromise on price v screen size and functionality.

Please join me in a minute's silence for the Nexus 6P - the best phone I've ever had. I feel like I am chopping in a classic Jaguar for a brand new Ford Focus. The Ford will get me from A to B reliably and relatively comfortably. But I'll miss my Jag.
[Nexus 6P Accessories] DanielF50:
I bought my CS battery a few weeks back & apart from the 3050mAh capacity I was happy enough, but now I'm getting the same issue with mine - today it died at 60% while on chrome and wouldn't turn on until I plugged it in, and it did the same thing the other day with the camera at ~45%. I've asked the seller to refund me & if they refuse I will go directly through Amazon.

I ordered this exact one, from this exact seller and got a fake. You sure it's a genuine CS battery?

So in addition to the above, I've just purchased a OEM battery from "The Replace Base" (which was cheaper on their ebay store: www.ebay.co.uk/itm/172671879184) - so I'll let you guys know how this one goes! :)
[Nexus 6P Accessories] JUSTINMARMER:
Crap, my CS is now shutting down at 20%. Amazon is giving me a refund. Do not buy Cameron Sino. At least not off Amazon. They are horrible.
[Nexus 6P Accessories] radionerd:
Report false advertising and fraud to Amazon, get a refund. They don't want the crappy battery back.

For those looking for a battery, the best I found was genuine OEM, these are old stock, and similar 20% shut down should be expected after around a year of use.

They look like this:

My stats after 2 days are 98% health. This indicates the batteries were cold storege stock.

Update: 102% health after a month of use

This is working like new 100% to 1%
[Nexus 6P Accessories] JUSTINMARMER:
Im willing to give it a go. I'm not seeing the link. Ships to America? How much? What's the buzz?
[Nexus 6P Accessories] radionerd:
Go back a page or two. I posted a link to a guy in NJ. Unfortunately he is out of stock.

There was another from China, free shipping. Try THIS LINK
[Nexus 6P Accessories] Samuel Holland:
I replaced mine with Cameron Sino about a month or so ago and so far, so good. It is very nice to not have to work about constantly charging my phone and now make it through the day without a problem with four to five hours screen on time and no shutting off under a certain percentage yet. I guess if the phone makes it a year or so down the road will tell how good the battery actually is.
[Nexus 6P Accessories] Spannaa:
The battery I used was pretty much the same as yours and, six months on, Accubattery Pro is still reporting battery health at 99% (3,425 mAh).

I'm more than happy with it :)
[Nexus 6P Accessories] combat goofwing:
My latest stat from accu battery app,why is it estimating a battery bigger than the designed battery ,have to say ,it may give me problems later but so far after about 3 full charge cycles I'm get 5hrs plus SOT
[Nexus 6P Accessories] combat goofwing:
Health looking good also
[Nexus 6P Accessories] radionerd:
That's great,

Just to let you know if you partially charge, like you are doing, (5 charge sessions with only 241%) your estimated stats will show higher than reality. That's why accubattery will throw out charge sessions that are less than 20%.

If you want "real" accurate readings try a few sessions 0 to 100% and 100 to 0% charges/ discharges.

Attached history of a few of my sessions with my new (2yr old) OEM battery, these are actual capacity reading 100% to 0% and 1% to 100. No estimate, just real world what went kaz-in and kaz-out. 6h 40m screen on. I always run screen full bright, and was running videos most of the discharge cycles.

If your battery doesn't start to present the "CS-Kill" during high current draw (week signal ping to tower while snapping a picture at the same time), or stuttering from cores shutting down from voltage drops on high current, you will be in good shape.

I truly wish you luck:fingers-crossed:

Thanks for the update
[Nexus 6P Accessories] :
A lot of you guys must have had fake Cameron Sino.
[Nexus 6P Accessories] combat goofwing:
Drained it from 100 to 1 then full charger to 100 then installed latest secruity patch .Battery capacity looking ok

That picture is real OEM, the same one I just installed is showing 99% health ;) Edit: Now showing 100% health

good luck

Must be a new space age polymer "Batter" to be that light with 4000mAh.

Thanks for sharing, I was about to buy one of those before one of the other's piped up reporting it was light. 4000mAh would be about 60 grams
[Nexus 6P Accessories] Mihaillo:
I tried 4 battery, all from different manufactures. I'm using this one: LOSONCOER 4000mAh HB416683ECW Battery for Huawei Google Ascend Nexus 6P H1511 H1512

http://s.aliexpress.com/IzuQruMV

(from AliExpress Android)

I order it from this link. Second best is vhbw, from Germany.

Both of them have temp sensor, but the first has more SOT and it is heavier, also has a thick ribbon.

I ordered that exact same battery and have it in my phone now, AccuBattery says 91% health. It weight 43 gram and had a thin ribbon cable, my screen on time is much worse then with my OEM battery was when the 6P was new, so I would not recommend it!

I have now ordered a new unused OEM battery from Ebay from China. Hope that one will be better then the Losoncoer.

It was this battery I ordered a few days ago, will report my experiences.

https://www.gsmpunt.nl/batterijen/huawei-nexus-6p-batterij-hb416683ecw/ . I found this on a Dutch webshop. Since I'm Dutch, I think I'm going to order one. There's a new one in my 6p now, but having a backup will help give me some ease of mind.
[Nexus 6P Accessories] ohlin5:
3 questions for everyone in this thread that I would appreciate some feedback on.

First, has anyone used a tool such as the iSclack to remove the aluminum housing after removing the screws?

Second, has anyone has any issues with damaging the display cable or whatever that is that runs under the battery when you're trying to pry that sucker loose?

And 3rd, I've seen all sorts of battery links in this thread - does anyone have a link to one they've been running for at least a month or two that seems to be solid in all regards so far?

Any feedback would be appreciated! Thanks!
[Nexus 6P Accessories] i42o:
1 ) it is super simple to remove the housing from the frame itself, i actually applied a bit of pressure and used my nail ( thumb nail was long at the time) and just went around the frame to pry it open. SUPER SIMPLE. I would advice using a thin plastic card or a guitar pic...

2) nothing runs under the battery, once you take the housing off you'll see a flex cable that runs from mother board to daughter board. Use a toothpick or your finger to remove the flex cable. unscrew the silver cap and then proceed to remove the remaining flex cables.

3) there are no OEM batteries so you will have to settle for what is available. i have been using a generic battery that i linked earlier in the thread and it seems to be holding up. doesnt charge up to 100% so i ordered another one from the GDC direct, as i saw that their ebay post claims "OEM" . funny thing about them is that i actually found them on amazon with the same battery but when i inquired they told me they are not advertising as "oem" cause its after market... so either their thumbnail is incorrect or they are falsely advertising on eBay.... gonna try the battery out and see how it goes when it arrives... im just hoping it has a temp sensor so i can then put it to the test with a fast charger.

hope this helps..
[Nexus 6P Accessories] ohlin5:
Yes that helps...will be interested to hear your results afterward with the other battery.

In the picture here though you can see the black cable that runs underneath the battery though right? I was sure I had read and heard that that was a cable...Display cable maybe? You're saying it not?

[Nexus 6P Accessories] i42o:
you wont have to get to that by just swapping the battery. i was in and out when i did mine,
[Nexus 6P Accessories] ohlin5:
Welp I bit the bullet and ordered a couple batteries!

One of these and one of these.

Not sure if I'll use it or not, but also ordered one of those isclack's and of course a replacement back panel+glass+bottom plastic just in case I royally fubar it up :) Also not sure which battery I'll start with, but hopefullythey'll both be at least halfway decent!

---------- Post added at 04:40 PM ---------- Previous post was at 04:39 PM ----------

Is guess what I'm asking is if there is any risk of accidentally cutting or otherwise damaging it when you're trying to get the heavily glued in battery out the first time, or is that cable somewhat "recessed" so as to be out of the way when you'll sliding a playing card or whatever around under the glued in battery to work it loose?
[Nexus 6P Accessories] hawkswind1:
Just slide the old gift card or playing card only 1/2 an inch or so from the sides of the battery. Mostly work the card under the battery from the top and bottom. That will mitigate the risk of dinging the display cable under the battery. It's not that bad, just be patient with it.
[Nexus 6P Accessories] Vaseag:
More updates
[Nexus 6P Accessories] i42o:
lol. i usually get 4 1/2 hours of SOT on any rom with new battery as well.
[Nexus 6P Accessories] ohlin5:
Ok, that helps. Thanks!
[Nexus 6P Accessories] ohlin5:
Well guys, update! I officially did it, no cracked glass or anything. I did have a close call with that silly cable running underneath the battery, but thankfully nothing happened. Other than that really wasn't bad - I just went SUPER slow and tried to avoid the inevitable urge to just crack it open as best as possible haha.

I did get some very minor discoloration on the plastic bottom piece, but it's super hard to see and I got it pretty hot just like the camera glass lol. I ordered one of those gdc whatever seller batteries off ebay, and one from repairs warehouse. Other than the obvious connection cable difference, the gdc one looks very similar to the OEM one (says Huawei supposedly lol). The repairs warehouse one has very little printing, etc. on it. The other items in my repairs warehouse order actually were highly disappointing for other reasons so I can't say I recommend them.

That being said, my brother joked with me that I should use that repairs warehouse plain old battery as whoever made that at least had the decency to not straight rip off Huawei's name and I thought heck why not hahaha :)

Anyways, if anyone wants any additional pics or anything let me know and I'd be happy to post! Battery is charging as I type this as I want to see what Accubattery reports before throwing it all back together. I did see the temperature in Accubattery change slightly (like .3 degrees C) so I assume this battery does has a (working) temp sensor).
[Nexus 6P Accessories] Vaseag:
Not a sensor... My battery goes from 24.5°C to 25.2°C doesn't matter how hot my phone gets
[Nexus 6P Accessories] ohlin5:
Very interesting as that's exactly what mine did haha :) Oh well there's always risk in life, I'm not too concerned. Thanks again to everyone here for the help and advice! It was a little bit of a bitcb getting into mainly just cause it took me a while with as slow as I went....but can't really complain as the results are pretty good! :)

EDIT: Just saw it read 24.7 Celsius now too...not sure if it just bounces or what, will have to keep an eye on it after I flash a ROM of otherwise give it a workout and notice the warmth lol
[Nexus 6P Accessories] Vaseag:
I ordered another one from ebay , which "has sensor" will see
[Nexus 6P Accessories] hawkswind1:
I agree with your brother's suggestion actually lol. At least they are upfront about it being aftermarket. Keep us updated with it's performance.
[Nexus 6P Accessories] ohlin5:
Lol that's kinda what I figured too! :) I will keep ya guys updated. Here's today's usage so far. Mostly internet, Twitter, texts, and maybe an hour of phone calls...

Nothing crazy it's not like I'm at "marathon" battery life but I never was...my usage of this phone has never given me that - but I'm on track for ~5 hours SoT which is a good couple hours more than I had before. Will update again once accubattery gets a better feel for the capacity, health, etc. of this battery.
[Nexus 6P Accessories] rchtk:
Those who replace battery AND have root, it would be interesting to fire up a terminal (or through a filemanager) and get the contents of kernel reported parameters for the battery subsystem:

cat /sys/class/power_supply/{bms,battery}/uevent

Temperature is used as input for the estimated capacity and for charge limitation (downgraded to 1A under 10 degrees). Safety is probably ensured internally by the rest of the BMS (over/under temperature/charge/voltage done by the IC mentionned in the screenshot above).

That is suboptimal to not have the sensed temperature available to the OS.

I just mentioned it because the eBay listing says it's an OEM battery,
[Nexus 6P Accessories] armyav8tor:
I switched my perfectly good OEM battery for a Beltron battery purchased from Amazon. I was not going to pay more than 20 bucks for a replacement battery and this one was $11. Accubattery show it has about the same capacity as the OEM battery I replaced. Been using it a month and it shows battery health of 94% @3,231 mAh. There is no temp sensor on the battery but not really a big deal to me. I would say this is a viable option as a replacement battery. It works and it is much cheaper than the CS. I went ahead and change out the back cover, for the second time. I switched from silver to black last year. The cover is only $20 and makes the phone look brand new.

You know what guys, instead of buying a battery replacement that doesn't have a tempreture sensor. I am considering buying a power bank with 20000 mah and simply leaving it connected to the phone the whole time it's better than replacing the original battery and going through all of this drama.
[Nexus 6P Accessories] combat goofwing:
Having complained to Amazon about the battery I got my money back ,I feel guilty now .Initially was getting great battery life ,but after a few days it started to be poor .So started charging in stages ,never going from like 10% to 100% in one go ,I'd charge to say 50% use for a while,then maybe charge to 80% ,use again then after a while top up to 100% .Doing this I'm getting 5.5 to 6 hrs SOT ,no early shut downs an phone never feels warm ...
[Nexus 6P Accessories] DanielF50:
So I received this this other day & it's a non-genuine battery without a thermal cut off switch - as you can also see, the design of the graphics on the battery are completely different to the OEM battery & what the image on the listing shows so I'm going to request a refund and report the product to ebay as a fake.

Pictures attached (left is original battery)

ps: I've contacted Cameron Sino to ask them where I can buy an original CS in the UK, or if they can sell me one as I've now got about 4 fake 6P batteries sitting around & it's a bit of a joke.

Hi there, I'm from Canada and my Nexus 6p only shut off twice last month when it was cold, and didn't turn of after that. Accubattery shows full 99-100% battery health. It lasts throughout the day well almost. I heard that cold temperature's affected the battery so i put mine in the freezer for about 10 mins while taking pictures every random minute it didn't shutdown either. And it didn't shutdown yet so i'm kinda debating whether to change my battery or not if yes then which one to go for?
