I'm on battery #3 now.

#1 was the factory one which died.

#2 was from topcombine on ebay. It was a crap and shut off at 50% after only 1 day. He switched to the clones/fakes and I wasn't paying enough attention. Fortunately he gave me a refund.

#3 is from e-laptoppart on ebay. I've been using it for 4 days now and it's good so far. It has a 2015 date on it, a thick cable, and a working temp sensor, and 98% health in AccuBattery. There's no marking on the backside compared to the original though. So it's either legit or a good fake. But now his listings have a 2017 date on them like many fakes do, so I don't know if his new batteries are trustworthy.

I've attached some images. Left to right: the original battery (a little mangled from removal), the good replacement, and the bad replacement.

Final image is the broken fingerprint scanner cable :crying: The pads ripped right off the board. Theoretically fixable but the pads are microscopic and not worth the bother.

Ordered this one today. Estimated delivery to Egypt is around 40 days.

From the comments I can see that people are happy with it considering it is only $6.XX

Nexus 6p angler dying because have bad battery

Good afternoon, I have a Nexus 6p angler dying because the battery is bad. Please, help council what battery should I buy? I live in Moldova. I thought to buy in ifixit.

But there is no delivery. Please throw links to good sellers in aliepress / ebay / amazon or others. Thank you in advance:cyclops:
[Nexus 6P Accessories] Xmata:
I have bought in iFix, but it does not work like the new OEM battery. At now is warranty moment. Now I am waiting for the guarantee.

Good batteries are a random. Regards.
[Nexus 6P Accessories] rafaelrmoreira:
do you have the link of the tools you bought on Aliexpress?
[Nexus 6P Accessories] Exodusche:
All you need to change the battery is very fine blade (I used precision knife but those tiny blades for scraping gunk work) medium guitar picks and tiny Philips screwdriver. Also a playing card helps with removing camera glass and bottom panel while heating up. For getting the battery up you will need something to pry gently up with. I used a kitchen butter knife and work around the sides. Be mindful of the ribbon directly underneath almost center of the battery. Also try not to puncture or tear the the outside. Most of the kits are cheap and break apon using.

So, after a few months, here's the results:

- Phone is like new, battery lasts the entire day, no early shootdowns, no random reboots.

- Getting around 5h ~ 6h SOT with regular use (casual gaming, whatsapp, general social media, etc).

- For anyone wondering, I get the best results on stock/stock based roms.

[Nexus 6P Accessories] ksaves2:
I did a TOTHL 3600mah replacement battery and have been generally fastidious with charging. I get down to 20 to 30% and off to the charger. I do the Accubattery charge to 80% routine and after 10 months I still get 100 to 103% capacity showing. I'm convinced Lipos "wear" faster dragging them to 100% every time or storing them charged to 100% for long periods of time. People who do R/C stuff or radio tracking devices are very fastidious with their

lipos and have computerized chargers to do it. Once a lipo has cooled down, many use the storage setting on the charger to bring a single cell up (or down) to ~3.8V/cell target voltage for long term storage. Phones

haven't gotten that sophisticated yet but it appears that being very careful with a lipo leads to a longer service life. They're not like Nicads or Nimh batteries that can take a lot more abuse. I have some 20 year old Nicads the can still take a charge and have good capacity.

I have two 6p's. Yesterday I did some messaging with one in my basement and heard the ping tone upstairs. Shoot, I thought I had the second phone turned off. It was down to 9% and still functional.

Took it downstairs and charged it up to 80% and will use it in a day or so. If storing for awhile I let it go to 60 to 70% and turn on the phone every now and then to make sure the percentage remains in that range.

If anyone has any other strategies for long term storage post it as I don't know if mine is totally correct.

Oh, the R/C batteries where we charge to 100% and "burn off" 500mah of a 750mah 3.7V cell in 7 minutes will wear out faster no matter what even with optimal storage and cooling procedures. Our phones can be

a lot "gentler" on the battery and the user just has to use optimal technique for the longest life. Yes I do believe there are "crappy" low quality batteries out there that will die early no matter what one does.

The trick is finding the good ones and using a best practice for maximal life.

There are "4200mah" batteries being offered on AliExpress these days. Anyone try one?:silly: Or are they Chinese "milli-amp hours";) Kurt

Not super long term yet, but I installed a TQTHL battery a month ago. It runs great, no early shutdown, and is reporting 118% (4080mAh) in Accubattery. I can take a flash photo at 5% without a shutdown. Very satisfied with this one, as opposed to the Cameron Sino which it replaced. Unfortunately, it does not look like Amazon has the TQTHL right now.

I think I finally found a legit battery:

http://prnt.sc/e6yhmh

Ordered it for 18 euro's.
[Nexus 6P Accessories] Tommebaas:
Where did you bought it?
[Nexus 6P Accessories] swa100:
Bought it at a Dutch webshop. Where are you from? I believe this webshop has locations in other European countries as well.

Edit: I see that you're Dutch. I bought it at https://www.mytrendyphone.nl/shop/huawei-nexus-6p-202177p.html. I just ordered it today. The picture was made by someone from their customer service. I wanted to check before buying it haha.
[Nexus 6P Accessories] i42o:
its just like the one i recieved from global direct... it lacks temp sensor and the flex cable is thinner than the OEM
[Nexus 6P Accessories] swa100:
Yeah I noticed the flex cable, but everything else seems the same. Hmm, do you have a picture or link to that battery from global direct?

Edit: this is the first one I've found with Sunwoda brand in the right bottom. Also the first one with all the same icons on the same place. And with normal looking serial numbers and stuff. I've had one before which looked like the original one in first sight, but the icons where not 100% the same and no Sunwoda brand.

---------- Post added at 07:55 PM ---------- Previous post was at 07:41 PM ----------

This is the one I've got last time:

As you can see, no Sunwoda brand and X's on the place where a serial number should be.

This is the one I've ordered now: http://prnt.sc/e6yhmh

Everything seems the same as the original, except for the thinner cable..
[Nexus 6P Accessories] Tommebaas:
Thanks! Do you think it's OEM? I'll buy it if it's the real deal.

Verstuurd vanaf mijn Nexus 6P met Tapatalk
[Nexus 6P Accessories] swa100:
Well, everything is exactly the same as the original that you'll find in your phone, except for the cable. The cable seems to be thinner. I don't know if Sunwoda (the manufacturer) just made the replacement batteries a little different or something, but it's the only difference. Other batteries I've had where a lot different: different symbols, different icons, different manufacturer, different serial number placement. This one seems spot on, except for the thickness of the cable.
[Nexus 6P Accessories] Tommebaas:
I've noticed that too. Could you tell me how the battery treats you after you installed it? I'll definitely order it if it's an improvement of your old battery.

[Nexus 6P Accessories] swa100:
I'm sorry, I can't report to you. This is just a backup battery. My battery has just been replaced under warranty, so the battery that's in the phone now is brand new. Not going to open my phone now haha. This battery is just backup, in case this Nee battery dies after a year or something like that.

---------- Post added at 03:31 PM ---------- Previous post was at 03:30 PM ----------

Could you please share a picture of the battery you've recieved? I'd like to see of its exactly the same :)

I think it's worth a shot. 18 euro's isn't that much and it's the most legit looking battery I've seen anywhere.
[Nexus 6P Accessories] Matrix_19:
I changed the battery with the fake-oem and it's awesome. The battery performance is back to what I had when I bought the phone (5 to 6h SoT).... And no more shutdown issue.

Accubattery went from 75% capacity to 103% with the new one.

Fake batteries are better than OEM crappy battery from Huawei lol
[Nexus 6P Accessories] swa100:
Yeah but for how long? Anyway, my brother his galaxy s7e is showing 81% capacity left when it's just 8 months old. Non removable batteries suck.
[Nexus 6P Accessories] Matrix_19:
The oem battery in the 6p is dying after 1year... Maybe I will need to change it again in 10-12 months, no big deal honestly. And maybe it will be time to get a new phone (next year)
[Nexus 6P Accessories] swa100:
Yeah that's true mate. I'm glad there's a new one in my 6p now and I've got a spare one ready. And a new casing+ camera glass. Should be able to go for another year or 2 haha. Too bad it's necessary.

Hallo,

I purchased a replacement battery here: https://www.ebay.com/itm/NEU-AKKU-H...exus-6P-A1-A2-Huawei-H1512-Tools/192554135150

It seems to be OEM (thick cable, fast charging, temperature sensor). The phone definitely performs better know but I experienced random shutdowns at 42 and 35 % of battery loading. Can your recommend another battery? My was from November 2015 so I assume the self degradation is by now so far progressed that the cell is not able to maintain the voltage under load. The shutdowns occurred when I turnend on the screen/mobile data/ wifi but standby time was quite well.

I've found a battery which the production date of 2017 here:

https://www.ebay.com/itm/Brand-New-...AWEI-Google-Nexus-6P-3-82V-tools/232720368482

Maybe this will perform better? I definitely need something with decent lifetime... Thank you for your advice!
[Nexus 6P Accessories] scarline:
I've found multiple sources for batteries on ebay. The last one on the picture got very positive reviews. TQTHL can be found here also.

[IMG="Angler batteries"]https://i.imgur.com/9JrWzhP.png[/IMG]
[Nexus 6P Accessories] UrushibaraRuka:
Hi guys and girls,

had some issues with early shutdowns 3 or 4 days ago. One happend at 33% and the second one on the next full charge at 52% (pretty crazy right?) and I might be a tiny bit paranoid now.

Both early shutdowns happend when I was using/opening one specific game and it was at night with maybe 7°C ambient temp.

Both times when I restarted my phone it reported only 2% charge left and AccuBattery (installed after the second shutdown) reported 70% health (a few days ago it was at 98% in a different app).

Now I'm on the first charge after the last shutdown happend, having it mostly idle (deepsleep) and occasionally open another game. This charge is holding for 2.5 days now (again, mostly in idle/deepsleep).

Am i just paranoid and my battery is still relatively fine (ie.: the mentioned game caused the early shutdown) or should I replace the battery within the next weeks?

If I should change it (or prepare to do so), does anyone have experience with this battery? https://www.amazon.de/dp/B07DGNDDGJ/

They openly say it's not an OEM and they specifically advertise the temp sensor and the ribbon also seems to be thick.

22€ with some tools sounds reasonable (maybe even a bit too good).

Thanks in advance for any advice.

[Nexus 6P Accessories] copong:
You got the battery bug now mate. Shutdowns like that happen when trying to draw too much power at once off the battery and it just can't cope no more. That being said first shutdown like that I had was a year ago and it's only happened every now and then until it was happening at least once a week, at which point (couple of weeks back) I got it replaced. I lived with it (and not great battery life) for 10 months or so.

For London folk here who are terrified to open the phone like myself, I got a replacement at iSmash Canary Wharf for £49 recently. Battery is legit with temp sensor and everything. Huawei lists them as authorised repair service.
[Nexus 6P Accessories] UrushibaraRuka:
Looks like you're correct, just had another shutdown at around 20% using chrome drawing about 1100mA according to AccuBattery.

Guess I'll go with the mentioned battery from Swark so wish me luck guys, I'll post an update once I successfully shattered my camera visor and screen (obviously sarkasm).

Update:

The battery just came in (much earlier than expected) and I did some measurements that were suggested earlier in this thread.

Weight: ~53g

Resistance between TH and P-: Started at around 9.05kOhm and dropped pretty quickly to 8.32kOhm when I pointed my hairdryer at it for 5-10 seconds, so temp sensor seems to be working.

Storage voltage (measured between P+ and P-): The battery had a voltage of 3.87V when it arrived.

Ribbon: It's a THICK ONE!

If you guys want I'll add the weight picture, for voltage and resistance i'm afraid that I'm not Shiva and only have 2 hands but I'd try to get them as well if you want them.

I'll update again after I Installed it and add the estaminated capacity of AccuBattery with it.

Update 2:

Installation is done although not as successfull as i hoped for...i shattered the glass-visor of the camera and I'm SO glad I bought a spare with the battery!

AccuBattery is reporting 3116mAh at 80% charged so far, compared to the 2150-ish I had yesterday that's a huge improvement in my book!

According to EX Kernel Manager the temp-sensor is indeed working.

Battery was about 50% charged after I installed it and the temp-sensor was reporting about 28°C, it's fast charging for maybe 20-25 minutes now and the temp rose up to 36°C in that time.

Sadly I wasn't able to take pictures with my multimeter for temp resistance change or the voltage it had when it was delivered, could have really used another 3 hands for that.

I'll add the picture of the weight with my trusty scale when the phone is done charging in a few minutes together with screenshots of AccuBattery (capacity/health) and EX Kernel Manager (temp right after charging and another after a few minutes of cooling down).

Update 3 (Pictures):

Battery charged from 50% to 100% without any issue, AccuBattery shows 3111.2mAh after this first half charge.

As you can see, the temp-sensor is currently reporting 29.7°C but as I said I've seen it as high as 36°C after a few minutes of charging.

I know AccuBattery needs a few cycles to estimate the capacity more accurate and I know that some batteries need 2-5 full cycles to reach their full capacity,

so I'll let it discharge down to 1% (hopefully without any early shutdowns) before I charge it again to 100% and update you guys again.

So far I'm happy with the result.
[Nexus 6P Accessories] scarline:
--> Does the change of the resistance really indicate the presence of a temperature sensor? Maybe you should look for direct sensor data when using the hair dryer (resistance is physically connected with temperature and a change here is normal)

--> Does it also support fast charging? (The notification in lock-screen I mean)

--> Keep us updated about long time performance after a month or so please!
[Nexus 6P Accessories] UrushibaraRuka:
As far as I know, a "thermistor" is a temarature sensitive resistor that is less resistant the warmer it gets and more resistant in the cold. This method was also used somewhere in the middle of this thread by a user (sorry, I forgot your name) who has an background in electronics. To that, I've seen the temparature vary from 17°C all the way up to 38°C depending on my use (Still have to provide screenshots for that though).

Yes the battery does support fast charging (battery got up to 36°C during that).

I'll try to update regularly because of 2 things:

1.) It might help others.

2.) I'm not sure about the stated 3450mAh capacity on the battery. Some users in this thread swapped the battery and AccuBattery stated 100-105% health (about 3450-3600mAh). I don't know if these users went through 2-5 charge/discharge cycles before they reported these stats.

As I stated in my 2nd update, I cleared AccuBatterie's cache and data before I started to charge the battery which already was at 50% when I installed it and came to 3116mAh.

Also a bit earlier in this thread, everyone put the batteries on a scale and compared it to the original one. At some point, one user mentioned that the batterie's weight not only correlates to the temp sensor but maybe also the capacity. So when the original battery is 55-56g with temp sensor and 3450mAh (without an additional wrap around it), this battery is only 52-53g in weight with temp sensor and an additional wrap around it so it's possible that this battery is only about 50g without the wrap and thus a bit less capacity (this is highly speculative of course).

I also know that AccuBattery needs a few cycles to accurately estaminate the capacity and some battery types need 2-5 full charge/discharge cycles to reach their full capacity.

So I'll try to update my experience with this battery, if I experience more early shutdowns, how the estaminated capacity changes after X cycles and so on.

Update:

I added 2 screenshots, one showing the temp while the phone was in idle with 27°C and the other after 7 minutes of playing a game with 36°C.

Hope that shows the working temp sensor.
[Nexus 6P Accessories] UrushibaraRuka:
Sorry for the double post but this is a "full" update rather than an "addition" to another post.

So I just charged the new battery for the second time now from 13% up to 100% and AccuBattery is now showing an estimated capacity of 3379mAh (98% health).

I assume that'll slightly go up again on the next charge so as of now I'm happy with this battery and will post/update again after the 3rd charge.
[Nexus 6P Accessories] scarline:
You're right. I wrongly assumed you measured internal resistance of the battery while heating it up :) Regarding thermistors: There are two types (NTC and PTCs). NTCs are usally semiconducter like (more valence electrons go to the conduction band = resistance decreases). PTCs act like you would expect the resistance to behave normally: It increases (more heat induced oscillation of metal atoms decreases the free movement of the electrons).

I am actually wondering, if these are really new cells with a production date between 2017-2018 or just re-used oem ones that got a new labeling. When you got a cell with a thin cable you're at least able to say that these cells have to be produced probably after the 6p was discontinued (2016). Please give at a later point (like 10-30 cycles) a new feedback on the health. I consider getting another one, because my current new one (seams to be oem) just has 55% capacity and random shutdowns beginning at 34%.
[Nexus 6P Accessories] UrushibaraRuka:
Well, I don't have a background in electronics so I only have a limited understanding of thermistors, capacitors, mosfets and the like, but as I said, the "TH" pin on the ribbon cable is for the thermistor (was stated earlier in this thread) and it decreased it's resistance when I blew at it with my hairdryer.

And as you can see from the various screenshots I provided, the sensor works fine.

Also, I highly doubt that my cheap 6000 count multimeter is able to meassure in the range of milliohms because it already struggles to accurately measure my 0.14 ohm vape coils (usually shows 0.4 ohms in that case) :P

I really can't answer that. So far, everything they advertised was delivered. Capacity, thick ribbon, working temp sensor. They sure state that these are new cells manufactured in 2017 but I really don't know if that's also true.

As for more updates, I'll post an update on the 3rd cycle and I'll try to post an update on the 10th, 20th and 30th cycle. I just hope I remember it by then because I currently get through 2 days with 1 charge so it will be a while (wish there was a remind function like on reddit to remind me in 10-15 days).

Also, 55% with random shutdowns at 34% is better than 70% with random shutdowns at 52-53% I had with the original battery (yes, it was that weird).
[Nexus 6P Accessories] scarline:
I think two days are impressive. How much screen time do you get? Currently with my battery I get 1h + 10-20 min, which is of course very disappointing.

I got this first replacement from here:

https://www.ebay.de/itm/NEU-AKKU-HB...xus-6P-A1-A2-Huawei-H1512-Tools/192554135150?

Currently I am waiting for a cell from Canada which got about 50 positive reviews:

https://www.ebay.de/itm/Original-OE...attery-HB416683ECW-3450mAh-Tool/252659779915?

I really want to get the device back to work again because I have the "victor" 128 GB version and I am quite happy with overall specs. I also replaced audio jack, vibration motor, frame, display, backside, usb port and the glas so it's basically a new phone. I think I will still have to get a new glas because it't really not possibly to not leave marks on the glas if you manage not to break it. The only thing that is not convenient is the slow USB 2.0 speed on a USB 3.0 connector with never goes higher than 35 MB/s.
[Nexus 6P Accessories] UrushibaraRuka:
Screen on time is very tied to usage and in my case with minor gaming (idle game which I open a few times a das to spend my ressources and my currently used kernel and kernel profile (ElementalX with Heimdall V4 profile) I'm looking at around 4.5h. Might be longer without any gaming and/or another kernel/profile.

So pretty much all that's still "original" is the mother board? Well, at least it's relatively easy to replace anything on the phone (not counting for the opening process itself though).

The USB is a bit "frankensteined", yes, but aren't the USB type C connectors already part of the USB 3.1 standard?

Anyway, the N6P isn't the only device that uses an type C connector on an 2.0 connection and I only have the 32gb version so I don't really care.
