The board, the screws, the flexbands, the cameras, speaker, microfone, fingerprint reader, 2 rubber parts (audio jack sealing and the red holder for the usb board) and gsm/bluetooth/nfc/wifi antenna (it's a sticker on the hull-part that has to be carefully transfered) are still genuine. These parts do not really show wear and tear (never used the finger print scanner though). The cameras are working like on the first day and in combination with hdr + snapseed I still get stunning pictures. During repair I also applied some quality heat sink on the backside of the processor. When I decide to get a pixel device in the furture I will check first the i-fix it rating. Also, it musst have USB 3.0 transfer speed :)

Any new feedback on the cell? I am still waiting for mine from Canada. In the meantime I got a 2017er that looks like a genuine. When I get the new cell, I think I will test both and decide which one to mount actually.
[Nexus 6P Accessories] UrushibaraRuka:
Yes, I'm currently charging it for the 5th time and will post screenshots from after charging it (4th and 5th charge).

I just didn't want to "spam" the forum after each single charge.

But so far, even with the short 4th charge (45-91% due to me being on a tight schedule at that time), AccuBattery is still showing an estimates capacity of around 3470mAh and I didn't have any issues at all to this point, and I don't expect any issues within the next 6 months.
[Nexus 6P Accessories] busteray:
Can you give an update on this battery? I might order that same battery too since I live in turkey.
[Nexus 6P Accessories] Face_Plant:
I decided to go ahead and spend the extra money for the iFixit battery since I figure their product will most likely be of higher quality than some of the sketchy $10 batteries on Amazon or eBay. I also bought a gold back cover "kit" that comes with the camera glass and bottom cover along with some thermal paste. While I have the phone apart I'm going to apply the thermal paste to improve cooling and change the phone color to gold. Hopefully I can get another 6 months of use out of this phone...
[Nexus 6P Accessories] scarline:
I really would like to get my hands on the fixit battery, but they don't ship outside the US sadly... Don't forget to install the latest stock rom or linage OS. You basically get a new phone.
[Nexus 6P Accessories] easy_mac:
I'm at about the 6 month mark with my ifixit battery, still working fantastic :)
[Nexus 6P Accessories] hectorviov:
I replaced my battery to the TQTHL battery in January (9 months ago) and it was working perfectly until recently I started getting (yet again) the early shutdown issue and was checking the thread to see if there are any new options but as I can see best options so far are the TQTHL or the ifixit ones correct?

The thing is (as I've read) the ifixit one doesn't have the temperature sensor, so does this interfere with the fast charging? If so, compared to the original charging speed, how slow is it? From my own experience the TQTHL has the temp sensor and it allows it to fast charge as the original battery did.

My screen shattered recently and bought a back cover (with glass and stickers) along with the replacement screen + frame so I decided that I'm gonna change the battery yet again as I'm going to open up the phone anyways. What battery do you guys recommend between those two? Or if there is any better option please feel free to recommend.

Thanks for the advice.
[Nexus 6P Accessories] Face_Plant:
My ifixit battery seems to have a temperature sensor. I have EXKM constantly displaying the CPU and battery temperatures in the notification area and I've seen the battery temperature rise and fall just like the stock battery. If you replace the battery again I recommend not using fast charging. It's a real battery killer.
[Nexus 6P Accessories] easy_mac:
For the record my ifixit battery is great but dies not have the temp sensor. I purchased it in April '18 I think.

I agree, fast charging is terrible for batteries in the 6P
[Nexus 6P Accessories] Face_Plant:
When was your battery manufactured? Maybe you got an older one before they decided to add a temperature sensor? Mine had a manufacture date of 4/4/16 printed on it.

I've attached two screenshots showing the temperature sensor working. One is after the phone was sitting unused for a while. The other is after intentionally putting it through some abuse to warm up the battery.
[Nexus 6P Accessories] easy_mac:
I think its the other way around, I bought mine this year so its more likely they used to have a temperature sensor but no longer do
[Nexus 6P Accessories] Face_Plant:
I bought mine about a week ago, so your battery is older than mine. Maybe the temperature sensor is low quality so getting a working one is hit or miss?
[Nexus 6P Accessories] easy_mac:
Thats strange, I don't remember the exact manufacturing date on mine but I remember it was pretty close to when I ordered the battery. Late 2017 I think. Ifixit uses 3rd party suppliers and I think they stopped using the temp sensor at some point.

Do you remember if the battery cable was thick or thin on yours?
[Nexus 6P Accessories] Face_Plant:
The battery cable was thick.
[Nexus 6P Accessories] secstate2201:
I bought an iFixit battery within the last two weeks and I can confirm mine has a temperature sensor for sure. When the phone has been in deep sleep overnight the temperature reported is essentially what my room temperature is. If I am charging it, it rises about 25 degrees F. No doubt in my mind it has a temperature sensor. Also it has a thick cable.

I installed the battery a couple of days ago and the process was honestly not that bad at all and I was expecting it to be pretty rough but it took me less than 30 mins. I already had a heat gun and an infrared remote temperature sensor so I could see how much I was heating up the parts I needed to remove. Heating the plastic bit at the bottom back to 140 degrees F and the glass to 180 degrees made them very easy to remove (I saw this on the comments of the ifixit site). I did no damage to phone pulling it apart or putting back together.

Right now I'll be honest I have mixed feelings on at least my iFixit battery. The battery is a vast improvement over my two year old one (I bought my Nexus 6P new around September 2016). In the two cycles I have put it through is only showing around 2800 mAh of capacity vs the 3450 it should have (in Accubattery). Also the first cycle it died instantly around 24% remaining and the second time around 15% (it went into power save mode and stayed at 15% for a while before dying). I am hoping with a few more cycles this might get better and I will post an update. While the early shut of is better than the 40-50% I was getting it is disappointing in a brand new battery.

So in summary the good of the iFixit battery is the current ones seem to come with a temperature sensor (and it does fast charge) but at least my sample so far in limited testing is well below its rated capacity.

Edit: My third discharge cycle went to 3% and was still going when I put it on the charger so it does appear the battery is improving rapidly with each cycle.

Edit2: Third recharge cycle shows my battery is now averaging 75% of stated capacity (2550 mAh) which is disappointing.
[Nexus 6P Accessories] secstate2201:
Just to provide an update on the iFixit battery I have been through seven cycles on it now and it is basically coming in with a capacity of 2400-2500 mAh pure Accubattery which is very disappointing. Accubattery is giving me a health condition level of 75%. It is still better than my old battery and after the first two cycles has consistently been able to run down to 0% battery with no early shutdowns. I get about 3.75-4 hours of screen on time which is about twice the old battery but below what I would expect from a new battery. I have ordered another battery (not from iFixit) and I hope this one will be better. I intend to RMA the iFixit battery once I get the replacement battery since it is so far below the stated spec.

I don't know if I just got unlucky or this is reflective of the more recent iFixit batteries having issues. In any case I don't think paying the premium (it was $30 with shipping) is any guarantee of a good battery from iFixit.
[Nexus 6P Accessories] gorgeousgeorgeous:
Does anyone have any experience with this seller or battery?

XDA prevents me from posting links until I post a few more times. Check ebay for Item Number 273349006817. There's an item number search field

-Longlife

-Fat cable

-Temperature sensor

-2017 production date

-Not faking an OEM battery

-2 year guarantee

It seems too good to be true. Input would be appreciated

Update: I purchased this. It's absolute junk. Clearly refurbished old batteries on their last legs that arrive in a label nothing like as pictured. Please avoid at all costs
[Nexus 6P Accessories] Jep56:
I brought my phone in to get the battery replaced, thought it would fix my battery issues. Anyway, I went to a local repair place, they replaced the battery, 30 minutes....awesome right? Wrong. I get home, plug my phone in, and my battery appp says ..."Plugged in, can't charge right now".

I called the place and they tell me that since I'm rooted, they have to replace the battery again, and completely wipe my phone before it will work! Said they are not supposed to work on rooted phones. Thanks for saying something up front. This all sounds like BS to me.

So, they changed the battery again, and I got lucky copying all the pics and Titanium Backup from the phone to my old one.

Anyone else ever hear of this? Total crap to me
[Nexus 6P Accessories] daviporciuncula:
Hey man, I'm from RJ and my father's 6p has the early shutdown issue. Do you still have the OEM battery link from ebay? Do you know from any ones fro AliExpress being anywhere good as the one you have?

[Nexus 6P Accessories] gorman42:
I've read pages and pages of this thread and... I have to say that it's pretty disappointing to have a two years old phone (for me, I bought just before Pixel came out) left out in the cold as far as battery service is concerned. Even wanting to change smartphone, I'd be interested in knowing which manufacturers guarantee battery switching service in the long run. The only one I'm sure of it's Apple but I wouldn't want to switch to iOS.

Considering how much more powerful a Snapdragon 845 is compared to the 6P's 810, and the amount of RAM one finds on phones such as the OnePlus 6/6T, I really doubt I would want to switch again phone in two years. But if there's no way to renew the battery... :rolleyes:
[Nexus 6P Accessories] scarline:
That is not correct. Rooting does not affect the charging process from my experience. Are you rooted on stock room?

That is not correct. Rooting does not affect the charging process from my experience. I am rooted on 8.1 and I don't seen any problems after the repair of the battery. Can you post an image of the error screen? Are you rooted on stock room? I can imagine the shop screwed it up and is now searching for an excuse...

---------- Post added at 05:13 PM ---------- Previous post was at 05:06 PM ----------

You need to get a proper non OEM replacement. All OEM batteries are by now fully degraded, because they were just produced until end of 2015 with lower quality materials and will just offer screen time up to 1h nowadays. A cell that is supposed to work properly due to reviews can be purchased here from Canada. I revived one unit recently, but I was not able to install it yet due to lack of time. Due to the thin cable I think it will not support fast charge.

unfortunately the ebay one sold out, however some people said the TQTHL one is also good
[Nexus 6P Accessories] Jep56:
Thanks for the responses. I've since abandoned the 6P. Went to a OnePlus 5T...wow. Battery life is unreal, and it's awesomely fast. Bigger screen, in a smaller package....$475 brand new. Good luck 6Pers'
[Nexus 6P Accessories] DMA2013:
Hi, I wanted to know if the TQTHL battery has the temperature sensor and supports fast charging?
[Nexus 6P Accessories] secstate2201:
I posted up thread about my poor experience with the ifixit battery which while it had a temperature sensor was averaging about 74% capacity of new per Accubattery. I ordered another battery (more on this in a second) but was lazy and didn't get around to swapping it in. The ifixit battery started having early shutdown issues after three dozen charge cycles so I took it out and swapped the battery for the one I bought on Ebay. This battery may in fact be OEM (markings on front and back are spot on with my original battery) but in any event it has a temperature sensor and after a dozen charge cycles it is showing 105% of rated capacity. It runs smoothly down to 0% before shutdown. It is a bit more expensive than some other options (though cheaper than ifixit) but worth it to me. Item number is 173279077022. I ordered a second one after the first one worked so well so I have a spare. It also charges rapidly for those that care about that.

Friend upgraded to a Pixel 3, he's giving me his old 6p. I'll try this battery. Thanks!
[Nexus 6P Accessories] randomguydude:
Ok, I just bought one form your seller... Hopefully this will extend the service life of our two 6P until maybe next fall..

My willingness to ride the upgrade wave waned as these things got so pricey
[Nexus 6P Accessories] Dead-end. E:
Just thought I'd do a quick post. I live in Sydney Australia, and had decided to not fuss around with buying a battery from an online seller. The battery would discharge very quickly and automatically shutdown around 50%, give or take 10%. Anyway, so I'd arranged to get my phone fixed with Huawei Australia's official repairer, Roadhound, just on Tuesday. Two days later, I'd received the phone back and they'd fixed the battery, without charging me a cent (unless they haven't sent me an invoice yet...?). The phone was over two years old... and just checking the warranty, they've just renewed it for a year(!) .... I'll have to report back on how the battery is some other time, but the battery doesn't seem to be discharging that quickly, and I was on the phone chatting to someone for over 20 mins with no adverse affect to the battery (so far so good).
[Nexus 6P Accessories] scarline:
I have tested two batteries and I was able to find a solution that suits me. The first one I tested was very bad:

https://www.ebay.com/itm/2017-NEU-O...exus-6P-A1-A2-Huawei-H1512-Tools/192621930282

The battery had a big cable. It was not able to hold the charge very long and after 2 weeks the phone startet to shutdown at 20 % later even at 62 %. I can not recommend it. The seller also has batteries with 2017er date but I am not sure these are new, because the genuine cells were not longer produced long after October 2015. I had screen time with this cell about 1 h max. Later after 3-4 weeks its was about 20 min and I was not able to use the phone without a power bank.

https://www.ebay.com/itm/Original-O...Battery-HB416683ECW-3450mAh-Tool/252659779915

This cell works so far so good for me. I am charging at circle 6-7 at the moment and everything feels much better. The cell I received hat a 2018er date on it. I don't see various shutdowns and CPU throttling anymore and you can dry the cell until you are at 1-2 %. Also, accubattery says it will deliver up to 5 hours of screen time. It supports fast charge but I don't know if this fast charge is as fast as the standard's one. When I use the genuine wall charger I get about 2 amps of current says accubattery. The battery also has a temp-sensor. The charger supports up to 3 Amps. I don't know if a big-cable cell is actually able to support such a big current or also receives about the same current.

In any case: Be careful when you extract the battery. I punctured the original one by accident. Luckily, it was removed at this moment (it gets hot and fumes are coming out the cell) already but you should use plastic tools and playing cards as well as a little amount of heat if necessary only to extract it. Also be careful with the position of the new cell due slightly different dimensions. First check the attachment of the different flex cables, than afterwards glue it in :) Also, the best ways to keep the cells healthy over a long time would be to charge them at a standard usb port and keep them between 20-80 % charge.

I will later post some pictures of the cells, also with weight annotations and screenshots from accubattery. In the statics overview of the program you will see the difference. It's more than significant.

Stay tuned!
[Nexus 6P Accessories] Arcide:
Ain't nobody got time for that. :p

So you're saying it doesn't charge as fast as the original?

Hmm, that's big negative for me.

Either way that one you linked seems to be decent, if you miss the slower charging part.

I know this is an old subject and it's been talked about a lot, and REAL original batteries are out of the question, but has anyone ran into something lately that's as good as the original one?
[Nexus 6P Accessories] BigBoss0327:
I bought the battery posted above and while replacing it broke the screen because while attempting to pry open the backing the screen opened instead. Sigh.. I've never made a mistake while doing these things before, I'm so sad... Replacement screen is $200. I bought the phone used for the same price last year. I think this is it guys, I'm sorry but I'm moving on to pixel. This was my favourite phone.. we spent so much time together... and I killed it. I'm so sad.
[Nexus 6P Accessories] hectorviov:
Do you have anything to say about the second battery link? How was it?
[Nexus 6P Accessories] scarline:
Hey, yes. Currently I am very happy with the battery from cellstore. In accubattery I reach about 95% of the original capacity. It has a thin cable, but it does support fast charging. Fast charging means here regarding accubattery a charging current of 2A with the original wall charger and the original cable (2,2xx mA, 63%/h, 4,360 V, 29,5 °C [MENTION=6941972]60%[/MENTION] charged). I don't know if the original battery had once 3A charging current (the wall charger is supposed to deliver such a current), but the charging speed is quite convenient. In the long term this is might even better for the battery, because a very high current increases temperature too much which triggers the chemical degradation of the cell. If you have any questions regarding opening the device etc. just ask. I did it 5-10 times now and the device is working well (you need to act slowly and carefully, the process is a little bit nasty, but one can make it without braking things). Also, do not forget to apply some heat sink to avoid thermal throttling

---------- Post added at 02:34 PM ---------- Previous post was at 02:32 PM ----------

I can recommend the battery from cellstore for now.

That’s bad luck...Be sure that you lift the display frame unit together with the display using enough guitar plecks that reach deep enough. Otherwise you’re lifting only the display and this will break it. You are able to find displays and display frame assembly at ebay in the region of 60-70 dollars. Check it out before you purchase a new phone.

As promised same Accu measurements. Also look in the attached images of this post. The red ones (thanks to bluelight filter) are from December 2018 and contain measurements of the original battery and the replacement. The high capacity dots in the 3000-3500 mAh region are the replacement, the rest is the original battery and the faulty replacement. The new screenshots are from today. You see a massive difference in estimated capacity (49:96%) and also in the statistics tab the distribution is more concentrated in the high capacity region. The estimated 49 % are wrong, because the original and the faulty replacement battery were draining so fast in the end, valid measurements were not really possible. Also measurements of the new, good replacement falsify this value of course. I recommend to reinstall accu battery every time you replace a cell. Also, based of the measurements you need between 20-60 charging cycles unless you get max capacity (with this phone and this replacement).

New battery from cell store result after almost 100 charging cycles: 15th Dec 2018 - until 8th March 2019.

If I can help you with with these measurements please leave a thanks please.
[Nexus 6P Accessories] badabing2003:
What do you mean by apply heat sink? You meant heat sink paste?

Where are you applying this?

I got this same battery and I agree with everything you said about it, I also find that the battery is not a perfect fit, the battery pushed all the way up still not enough for the cable to reach the connector, I had to stretch the cable by creating a kink, I was worried at first but it works.
[Nexus 6P Accessories] scarline:
Yes, I mean heat sink paste, the same stuff that you use between a cpu and a cooler. You apply it under the back side of the mother board:

[IMG="@I Fixit Nexus 6p Teardown"]https://i.imgur.com/wG8kS48.jpg[/IMG]

Image taken from I-Fixit Teardown guide: https://www.ifixit.com/Teardown/Nexus+6P+Teardown/51660

First you remove any traces of the violet stuff on the board and the backside of the frame. Than you add the new one. Do not use too much! When you overdo it, the heat sink can act as a heat shield or you spread it everywhere and in the worst case it gets between the (spring)connectors. I used Cooler Master E2 IC essential for my replacement. When you open your phone, you must act slowly. Especially for the camera glas it's necessary to take your time. If you want, I can post a collection of tools I used.
[Nexus 6P Accessories] badabing2003:
That looks like at step 12 of ifixit teardown guide.

For a battery replacement, why do you need to go past step 7?

Thanks
[Nexus 6P Accessories] scarline:
Because the original sink will have dried out when you open the phone. Same happens at your desktop CPU. For a battery replacement it's optional. But lifting the mainboard is easy in comparison to lifting the battery which needs time and heat (watch out, there is the display flex cable under the battery). During my replacement I changed screen, hull, frame, headphone jack, vibration motor and button cable, so I took the 10 more min and did apply good stuff under the CPU to cool it better.
[Nexus 6P Accessories] hectorviov:
Thank you very much for your answer, but no I've already opened my phone to change the battery for a TOHQL one (Can't remember the exact name) and it was working correctly until recently it started giving me problems again, that's why I asked about that battery. Again, thank you very much for answering!
[Nexus 6P Accessories] [[EU]Tomas]:
So I've kept getting the issues with battery, phone kept shutting down at 40% ~ everytime I unlock my phone. Battery from 100 to 40% kept discharging really fast foo, charging up as well, so ended up replacing the battery.

https://www.amazon.co.uk/dp/B07NY3M27K?ref_=pe_3187911_248764861_302_E_DDE_dt_1

This is what I got, and after 1 month - it's still really good! Battery no longer discharges by 2-5% at time like the previous used to, holds really nice, get 5-7h on screen time browsing internet and socialising apps

The screenshot I've attached is latest, I watched YouTube/ Twitch for like 2h+ including this charge cycle.

The website says it's 3600 mAh, but I think it's nonsense, CPU-Z says it's 3,450mAh. Maybe because it picks up from phone model OEM battery, but idk. I don't really feel that extra 150mAh difference. But battery is really great, no regrets!
