Ordered from here as well but did not get a tool set, did you get one? I'm trying to ask the seller about it but when I click on "Missing Parts" as the reason, the seller set it up as only allowing for refund, no further communication. Sounds like I'm going to get a "free" battery out of this after I open a Paypal dispute.

I ordered this one off eBay. It's a knockoff no temperature sensor. Look at this on eBay http://www.ebay.com/itm/252596079027 . I'm replacing with the Cameron Sino from Amazon. Cameron Sino 3450mAh / 13.11Wh Replacement Battery for Google Nexus 6P A1 https://www.amazon.com/dp/B01KV4OIDE/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_apa_hyI4yb7N051ZN
[Nexus 6P Accessories] PuffinNugz:
Yeah, mine came with the toolset. It's pretty poor quality though, and I mainly ended up using tools i already had.

I replaced my original battery with this one (with a working temperature sensor) from eBay yesterday morning.

I know it's early days, but after two charging cycles, AccuBattery Pro reports the estimated capacity as 3,334.0 mAh - not far off the design capacity of 3,450.0 mAh. I plugged it in for the second charge at 10% battery.

The original was down to 2,445.0 mAh and the phone was shutting off at around 25% battery.
[Nexus 6P Accessories] Tommebaas:
I bought the same one and I'm glad it's the original! http://imgur.com/a/lrxoV

How many times did you charge it? Accubattery needs a few charging cycles.
[Nexus 6P Accessories] Spannaa:
It's not exactly the same as the original that was in my device but it looks very similar, is the same size and the temperature sensor works.

As I mentioned, it's early days - only two charging cycles so far.
[Nexus 6P Accessories] Tommebaas:
I finally replaced my battery and it didn't went perfect, but everything is fine!

The visor broke, I almost damaged the screen cable and I forgot to put the bracket back in...

But in the end everything was put together and I couldn't be happier.

Heating the visor and the plastic on the bottom took a very long time.

Now I'll have to see how my new battery lasts!
[Nexus 6P Accessories] rchtk:
To get an estimate of your battery capacity, let it go till it usually switches off, put it in airplane mode. The idea is to let it drain as slowly as possible as the OS will switch the phone off based on guessed capacity (which integrates the discharge current). Then plug in and boot as soon as it is able to (like 1mn max with quick charge) then let it go up to 100% and there leave it for at least 2h (with no interaction with the phone) and then check Accubattery. For reference, mine is 8 months old and showing 3400mAh still.

The temp sensor is probably just for information. For safety requirement, the battery has a BMS which includes an internal autonomous protection so there shouldn't be any risk.

Now, the charge current is limited to 1A when temperature goes under 10 degres (to not stress the battery probably). If the temp sensor is not connected then this might have an effect. So people without a temp sensor should avoid quick charging or until the battery is warmer than 10 degres, like using the phone before charging if you're coming from outside where's it's less than 10 degres.

Looks Legit

I also ordered one from the posting that ST3P_2 linked to.

Looks like the OEM one except a black sticker over the Huawei logo: http://i.imgur.com/qufJrPM.jpg

Mine has an older date code though. :crying:

Gonna try Google Store support first though.

After 2 months of waiting, I have finally received my Cameron Sino batteries from batterybay. The size of these batteries match the original compared to the eBay one I had put in which ran a tad small; might explain why the estimated capacity hovers around 3100mAh....or not. Will report back how they go in a couple of days time.

Never seen anyone selling a genuine OEM battery, that's why everyone is trying various third party replacements and posting here.

Been trawling this thread for a while, as I'm looking to replace my 6P battery with a genuine OEM part.

This one came up quite a bit: http://www.ebay.com.au/itm/112165100363

Is that one genuine, and does it include a temp sensor? Cheers
[Nexus 6P Accessories] PuffinNugz:
My replacement has a 2015 date code as well, but it's holding up pretty well.
[Nexus 6P Accessories] Spannaa:
I don't think there is a genuine OEM battery available so I replaced my original battery with that one just over a week ago and my phone is like new again.

It's not exactly the same as the original, but it looks very similar, is the same size and the temperature sensor works.
[Nexus 6P Accessories] ahsengah:
Thanks for that! I was looking at getting it replaced at my local phone repair shop, however they mentioned that the battery that they use does not mention anything about a temp sensor.

Will not having a temp sensor cause any issues? Or is it OK to use without one?

Cheers

Ordered a Cameron Sino from Amazon on April 2nd, delivered today. Temperature sensor does work. Will update in a couple days
[Nexus 6P Accessories] thesebastian:
Good! I'm replacing my battery for one of those this weekend if possible. Does it charge to 100%?

I assume that if the temp sensor works then we shouldn't​ worry about quick charging it in summer or when playing heavy games

Replaced my self with Cameron from batterybay for 20$ .. Battery holds all day long ..
[Nexus 6P Accessories] nowell29:
hey, as FYI to you and all, be gentle taking the screen off. I broke mine and was without for about 3 weeks till i had cash for a new LCD. ironically it was the LCD and not the digitizer that busted.

There are tabs on the sides, and if you get a thin plastic pry tool in you can pop one side out and then the other. Also be gentle with the adhesive since this seems to be more sticky than anything else I have fixed in the past ( I have probably fixed about 2 dozen phones/screens over about a dozen different makers/models).

Let me know how the battery works out for you. I am thinking about doing the same.
[Nexus 6P Accessories] thesebastian:
Ok I've replaced yesterday the battery with a Cameron Sino one. (Temp sensor seems to work perfectly fine..battery remp reachs...39ºC or 40ºC after playing hearthstone, etc).

The original battery had air inside and It wasn't​ so glued (previous owner replaced the screen in this phone so that could be the reason the battery wasn't so glued).

The only complicated part to me...was to remove the back cover. I ended up removing some plastic from the edge of the bottom of the screen....(esthetic damage so I don't care).

And the power button is not the same...if I press the screen and the back case hard..the power button backs to normal or even better. But it's much more soft than the volume buttons now. (I think the volume buttons are more clicking than before).

Anyway I probably will fix this in the future. Maybe I get a new back cover. But the power button still does "click" is just is not so noisy so no big deal. (I still care of this)

Regarding battery usage. It's like 10%-15% (maybe more...who knows) more than my Nexus 5X. But it's pretty amazing...(for my usage, I spam a lot the digitizer so my SoT is never good and the frequencies are high), but now I'm getting:

- Battery life from 100% to 1%. [Before I was having a 100% to 10-30% battery life].

- Great battery life...(4:15 SoT with 1:23 Hearthstone CPU usage, 37 min Tapatalk CPU usage, 35 min Chrome CPU usage, and the rest... 12 Hours standby).

[I was having 2 hours or less SoT (or less) with the same usage before. So it's more than 100% increase. ]

Battery Life Screenshots

P.S.: I've also bought a cheap battery, Huawei fake, as a plan B since first battery was taking too long to arrive. That battery, is nice, but 3 things. 1) it seems to be physically smaller than the original / less weight 2) The ribbon cable is smaller 3) it says 2910mAh ICS01 at the back, maybe it's just an smaller battery.

Here are some pictures of the original battery and the cheap battery (9€) I got as a backup but haven't tested:

Just got around to pulling out my eBay battery and installed my Cameron Sino battery today. So far it feels promising; definitely heavier than the eBay battery that was in it, and mind you the eBay one also had imprinted on the back "2910mAh". This might explain why it would never reach any further than 3100mAh according to Accubattery. Also, the CS battery is reporting correct temperature readings as opposed to the eBay one so that's good to see.

It's still early days so I'll give it a week and see how it goes.
[Nexus 6P Accessories] thesebastian:
Well I'm in my 3rd cycle and everything seems fine so far

I don't know how is gonna be after 12 months of cycles. But I'm sure it can't be worse than the Huawei stock battery that lasted less than 2-3 years.

[Nexus 6P Accessories] nowell29:
re the power button, I too had a difficult power button after. Mine was constantly pressing down, so I couldn't leave it as it was. When I got the new screen it did not include the cable for power and volume buttons so i had to move my original over. After fiddling with it, it just seems there was too much adhesive directly under that button, so i scraped it off right under it and it was fine after that. Volume buttons for me were fine as they were.
[Nexus 6P Accessories] thesebastian:
Thanks for the feedback. Yes here button works fine but it's much less sensible than before before. I'll try to fix it in a month. I've ordered a back housing from Asia for 17€ if it's good original maybe I'll try to fix it replacing the back housing. Otherwise I'll try to fix it directly in the old housing.

Is not a big deal as a the button is still fully functional and does click. But I miss the original sensibility of that button.

[Nexus 6P Accessories] Rashad83:
Hi guys, i had to re-edit my post after going through the whole thread looking for answers.

To summarise:

1. If you want to change your battery your best option is to buy Cameron sino(CS) it comes with temp sensor even though it's more expensive than other no name brands.

2. There isn't a genuine OEM battery unless you replace your battery from Huawei service center.

3. Tools needed: Triangle plastic pry tool at least 2, screw driver, tweezers, plastic playing card, a heat gun or a tool with similar function, a thin metal pry tool or Xacto knife.

4. Buy an extra back cover with top camera and bottom covers in case you screw up.

Found this battery which had good reviews and looks similar to CS. Called Cnankcu https://item.m.jd.com/product/10962...are&utm_campaign=t_335139774&utm_term=CopyURL
[Nexus 6P Accessories] tracerit:
My battery was dying at 10-20% randomly. Sometimes I got it down to 5% but sometimes it was 15%. Figured after owning it for a good 15 months (longest I've ever kept a phone so far), it was time to just replace it and see if I can get better SOT.

I also got my parents' the Galaxy S8+. I got 6-7hr SOT easily with what I did on my phone and was test driving it for my use to see if I wanted one as well. But I just couldn't get into the phone. So I wanted to put some life back into my Nexus 6P.

I bought this battery from ebay for $10. The temperature sensor works, first thing I checked before putting things back together. It also says "charging rapidly" when charging as well. http://www.ebay.com/itm/252482757101?_trksid=p2057872.m2749.l2649&ssPageName=STRK:MEBIDX:IT

I used these videos for reference:

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sWas3cYS_0Q&list=WL&index=28&t=367s

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=spz9S5aIiJg&list=WL&index=29&t=315s

Just some tips:

1. be careful when you're prying the battery off from the case. It has some super strong black duct tape that I had to use a credit card to push in and wiggle out. I ended up pushing the card in too deep and bent the black cable underneath. You can see the cable I"m talking about here at 10:37 https://youtu.be/spz9S5aIiJg?t=10m37s . Luckily it's reinforced a bit so whew!

2. Just get a replacement back and cover. The plastic piece on the bottom is pretty fragile, I ended up scuffing it with my scalpel. The top glass piece isn't as fragile, but I also ended up scuffing it when I used my scalpel to pry into it to create an opening. The adhesive holding the visor glass and the bottom plastic piece is tape. If you really go in there and pry it out, the tape is going to get all ruffled up. You'll end up having to need new adhesive anyways. Maybe just ruffle up one side and then slowly pry it up. For now until my replacement back comes in, the adhesive on one side is holding both pieces down quite well, nothing is sticking out.

3. Get more than one of those blue triangle picks. They're pretty much one time use, the plastic will deform as yhou're sliding it around.

4. The display has a super fragile plastic border around it. I ended up breaking off pieces of it and didn't realize it until I put everything back together. It probably happened when I separated the back piece from display piece. I'll probably end up breaking other pieces off so it'll feel smoother. This is the one part that isn't easily replaceable, so be careful here.

Update from my end - CS battery after 17 charging sessions shows an estimated capacity of 3575mAh (battery health 104%).

Onto more detail - I was on PN + Flash Kernel using Wingoku profile but something was draining my battery moderately which meant I would get around 3-4hrs SOT. This may not be a direct comparison however I've changed over to ElementalX kernel 4.0.7 using Hawktail profile which has given me a possible 6hrs of SOT (battery drained down to 1% and hovered around there for 5min), HOWEVER, this was only achieved at home on WiFi and phone unplugged for 13hrs. Usage involves WhatsApp, SnapChat, IG, YouTube, web browsing on Chrome, FB on Chrome and Reddit is fun app.

Away from home on 4G, I am on track for 4:30-5hrs of SOT. I am going to wipe my phone this weekend to make way for PN 7.1.2 so will report back how my new setup goes. In regards to EXKM battery monitor, I'm sitting at 17.13% per hour for on screen and idle drain of 1.42% per hour.

TL;DR - New CS battery beats eBay non-genuine units, reports full capacity improving usage, and features a legit temp sensor.

Add another vote for the Cameron Sino battery here. I have no scientific figures or numbers to share as I am currently jumping around quite a bit from ROM to ROM and kernel to kernel. I also have an Android Wear device and have turned Doze off, and spend a lot of time in areas with poor signal. It is, however, the fact that I now trust the device to get through the day without needing to be charged three times that has got me back into the development scene. The CS battery has given the 6P a new lease of life - which is great, because there are no other phones on the market which I currently would consider as a replacement. The new Samsungs and LG are too expensive and I hate the odd aspect ratio screen, the Pixel is too expensive and a screen size downgrade, so what else is there?
[Nexus 6P Accessories] thesebastian:
Yeah for me...HDR+ and vanilla Android, and still android O guaranteed with first day update are the key points of the N5X/6P/Pixels

Is this about the 13$ battery from amazon?

my 6p was bought second hand, and a month after I was using it, it started shutting at around 60%. Now, it has worsened to the point where if I use high voltage(like opening snapchat or taking a photo), it will shut off. I'm not able to turn it back on until I plug the 6p into a port. I was planning to buy a new battery so I got to this forum.

The other thing is that I installed accubattery and so far my og battery is at 75% and I have no random shut downs. So I might just wait for the og battery to deteriorate a bit more before replacing it. Opinions on that idea? Keep old or just install the Cameron sino when it gets here (amazon says Monday or Tuesday)
[Nexus 6P Accessories] Rashad83:
Just keep using the Original, mine is at 2775mah from 3450mah but I will keep it until I buy a new phone after that I will replace the battery when the battery is down to like 40% of capacity, that is why I charge from 40 to 100% without care. If you change it you will be wasting the old battery.
