And just an update, the seller "sunflower12314" has changed the picture on their listing that shows a knock off battery with the skinny ribbon cable... Still seems to be sitting in China while the tracking on the other shows it being in my town as of this afternoon. Looks like I'll be getting that one tomorrow. I also just noticed on sunflower's listing that if I want to return it, I'll have to pay for the shipping back to China which will probably end up being almost as much as the stupid battery. Well, once it comes in, if anyone is interested.. I'll probably put it up for sale with a proper description of it either being true oem or knock off.
[Nexus 6P Accessories] SFG:
That sucks about sunflower12314. My seller is titan_here and my battery appears to still be in China as well. My expected delivery date is not until Nov 24th. I've sent the seller a couple messages about the battery and the shipping and have yet to get a response for either.
[Nexus 6P Accessories] jrg67:
Meh, not a big deal. I got the other one coming from that seller you mentioned, titan_here. Should be here today.
[Nexus 6P Accessories] SFG:
Ordered mine a day or 2 before you. Glad you are getting yours. Wish mine was arriving here in California too.
[Nexus 6P Accessories] jrg67:
I do see per the tracking that the battery got delivered today from "Titan_here", so we'll see what it actually is when I get home. That is not bad, I ordered on 11/6 and was delivered on 11/14 from Hong Kong. The other one I ordered on 11/5 from "Sunflower12314" is showing in NYC, presumably at customs. I'd think that once should get delivered a lot sooner than the estimate of 12/26. Once that one comes in though, I'll be able to actually see if it's a knockoff or not.
[Nexus 6P Accessories] jrg67:
Ok so I got t the battery referenced in my previous post. This one is definitely OEM and was manufactured on 10/19/2015. It also doesn't show signs of having any double sided tape on it but it does look like it has some scuffs on it. Not sure if this battery was used and recovered from another 6P or not at this point. I guess for under $20, I can't expect anything. I'll report back when I finally install this thing.
[Nexus 6P Accessories] SFG:
What state are you in? Now I'm mad. Ordered mine on November 1st. Glad you got yours though. Thanks for the update.
[Nexus 6P Accessories] jrg67:
I'm in NY. I'm about to attempting getting this thing apart. Wish me luck.
[Nexus 6P Accessories] SFG:
Good luck. I'm interested in hearing what accubattery stated on the life of the battery.
[Nexus 6P Accessories] jrg67:
Well, that honestly wasn't that bad to do however I ended up melting the bottom plastic cover just before I put it back on. I was trying to heat up the tape so I could kinda get the parts that were bunched up from shoving a playing card in the to sit nice. So now I need to get another cover. So PSA.. if you plan on using a heat gun, even on low it will heat that up enough to deform it within seconds. I was surprised I got the camera cover glass off without breaking it. There are a couple small marks on the metal where I had no choice but to use an x-acto knife to get in the super tight gaps but all in all, I'm happy with the minimal amount of damage done.

Now, as for the battery.. getting the old one out was a pain and I had to use an old Best buy gift card to have something with enough strength to get in there. The playing card I had just wasn't strong enough. Funny enough, the battery that was in my phone was manufactured the same day as the one I replaced it with. We'll see what accubattery says the capacity is but just having it on the charger for about 25 mins, it went from 43% to 76% and AB thinks it's only 79% capacity. Obviously that's not accurate having only charged it for ~25 mins total but we'll see what a few charge cycles does. So far it's actually stuck at 76% typing this entire post which my other battery would have lost at least 2 or 3% by now (typing slow at about 10 mins).
[Nexus 6P Accessories] SFG:
Hope you didnt get a used battery. Have you tried deleting AccuBattery's data and starting fresh with it to get a more accurate reading of your battery?
[Nexus 6P Accessories] rohit25:
For those looking for the genuine authentic original and all other kinds of good stuff battery... iFixit has only 24 batteries of nexus 6p on sale for 25$ .. couldn't buy myself as they don't ship to India.. but those in US can buy it asap...
[Nexus 6P Accessories] jrg67:
I deleted AB a while ago so I just redownloaded it again after I installed this battery. Unplugged just now and it estimates 97%. We'll see if it gets better.
[Nexus 6P Accessories] SFG:
It usually wont go up from its initial reading but I'll take 97% over what I have right now. Sounds like it was a success for $18 plus the cost on the replacement for the part that melted.

Got an email the other day..... You guys might be interested in.

Thank you for contacting Chimicles & Tikellis LLP about the Google Nexus 6P*class action that we are currently litigating.

*

In the course of this litigation, both Google and Huawei have made efforts to downplay the significance of the Nexus 6P’s defects and their effect on consumers. In an effort to humanize and demonstrate the seriousness of these issues and their impact on consumers, it would be helpful to our prosecution of the case if you would submit a short (30 seconds or less) video to us describing your experience with the Nexus 6P and the bootloop or battery drain defects and their impact on your life. The video should describe the following, if applicable:

•*******************the amount of money and time you spent getting a repair or a replacement phone;

•*******************if you experienced the battery drain defect, how annoying it is, what you may have done to address it (e.g., purchase a battery backup), how important to you the battery life/durability issues were when you bought the phone, and how this defect defeats the purpose of the Nexus 6P being a portable cell phone;

•*******************if you experienced the bootloop defect, the type of pictures, information or data that you lost on your phone;

•*******************any real life descriptions about where you were and why you needed your phone when it failed;

•*******************a description about how you were sent back and forth between Google and Huawei when you complained to them (if you were); and

•*******************whether you would ever consider buying another Google branded smartphone in light of your experience with the Nexus 6P.

Please submit your video tonexus6Pclassaction@chimicles.com*before Thanksgiving (November 23, 2017).

*

Please let me know if you have any questions regarding this request. Thank you in advance for your time and attention.

[Nexus 6P Accessories] :
hello, is this any good? Nexus 6P Replacement Battery

if not, can someone provide a link where to order one? the location is from US if that helps. thank you! :)
[Nexus 6P Accessories] lil_ith:
It has a thin thingy up the top so it's not a proper replacement. It's meant to be a bigger cable
[Nexus 6P Accessories] jrg67:
Pro tip: when you take off the back camera glass visor, throw a piece of painters tape over the camera lens and the underside of the visor where the camera fits in. I must have gotten a finger or palm print on my camera lens that I though I cleaned but now I just noticed a speck of dust visible in the view finder and on the couple test pics. Now I have to take the glass visor off again to try to clean everything but it's so tiny, no idea how I will.

Accubattery is now reporting 99% capacity after 4 charge cycles. I let it go all the way to dead last night and hit 5 hours screen on time with 16 total hours on.
[Nexus 6P Accessories] acr21:
I just ordered the battery from iFixIt: https://www.ifixit.com/Store/Parts/Nexus-6P-Replacement-Battery/IF304-010-1

After reading some more it sounds like the actual OEM batteries should have a thick ribbon which this does not appear to have. Is this battery any good or should I keep looking?

I also found this which seems to have the thick ribbon:

https://www.ebay.com/itm/For-Huawei...100363?hash=item1a1d8f9b4b:g:CHMAAOSwmLlX~kbQ

Any help would be appreciated. Thanks.
[Nexus 6P Accessories] lil_ith:
Seems to have sold a lot. But it's really hard to find someone that's legit. I have a store that I can go to that offers me warranty which I will probably end up doing so I don't have to worry about doing it myself and if the battery is bad they have to replace it. Hopefully you have something like that.
[Nexus 6P Accessories] rohit25:
Am pretty sure that it will be genuine... I mean c'mon its iFixit itself... They can't sel l sheep batteries
[Nexus 6P Accessories] lil_ith:
Alot of people who used to sell batteries made the switch to the thinner cables. Cameron sino is one of them and the batteries that are currently being sold don't have a temp check and have less mah, than the original/original sino And some of them have been reported to switch off like the ones that are currently doing. So maybe the battery is good but Alot of reports from the third cable have done poorly
[Nexus 6P Accessories] rohit25:
I'll agree have been lurking in this thread since long .. The CS was gold in the start... But the later iteration was sheep
[Nexus 6P Accessories] lil_ith:
Pretty much this. I mean if they prove to be good, I am in need of a battery replacement and I am just being very very cautious about what I buy because I bought this phone secondhand and I can't get a replacement phone any time soon. I was wondering if the reviews are for that exact same battery on ebay (and quietly they changed to a thinner cable?) without updating the the required fields (besides the picture)
[Nexus 6P Accessories] 18yusuf:
I don't understand the demand for the OEM battery. You'll likely get a used/old dated battery which may already lost considerable amount of it's capacity or cause early shutdown issue in the future.

I bought this and I'll let you know how it performs when I get it.
[Nexus 6P Accessories] Schiben:
Looks like a pretty impressive claim on that battery. Are there any Accubattery-like tests to prove it's capacity? I'd be interested if it looks good.
[Nexus 6P Accessories] SFG:
Do you honestly think anyone is manufacturing OEM quality batteries for the Nexus 6P these days? Most all of the new batteries available are retrofitted batteries from other devices. Those batteries lack the stock mAh and sensors. This is why people are seeking true OEM batteries.
[Nexus 6P Accessories] jrg67:
I agree with SFG. 18yusuf, the URL you linked to this supposed "4000mah" battery is most likely not. The URL has 2650mah right in it (ttps://pt.aliexpress.com/item/2650mAh-BL-06-BL-06-Phone-Battery-for-THL-T6s-T6-Pro-T6C/32593359370.html)! The OEM battery I got is showing 99% capacity after 4 charges and out of 3450mah, it's reporting 3431mah. it was manufactured 10/19/2015, the same date of the battery i replaced. It seems to be getting better as the days go on and it's breaking in. Even though this one had some scuffs on it and I thought I got a crappy one, I can honestly say that this one must have been new overstock just sitting on a shelf where some Chinese warehouse probably bought up the remaining stock or auctioned them off. Glad I found it and I don't trust the aftermarket ones because they do not have the proper sensors or mah ratings.
[Nexus 6P Accessories] nardow:
Hey folks

So, I bought an OEM battery from eBay when they were available but the battery on my 6P is 80%86% healthy after one year, which is ok I guess.

You guys think I should replace my battery with the new one or wait until the one I'm using right now starts to fail?
[Nexus 6P Accessories] 18yusuf:
The one that I posted above is definitely not 4000 mah. I think it was wrong to post it's link before testing the battery. I still didn't get the battery so there is no need to talk about it yet.

I'd definitely choose an OEM battery which were replaced by Huawei's itself if I could get it replaced in my country and if they were charging it for a fair price.

If you ask me, buying an OEM battery or a battery which has a temp. sensor is just an overrated thing especially for 6p's situation.

I wish you people won't encounter any problem with your OEM batteries till you decide to buy a new phone. I have to do it other way.
[Nexus 6P Accessories] joefloater:
I bought 2 of the thick cable ones you linked from ebay, I'm wondering if they are true OEM batteries as the picture in the listing is the exact stock photo from the i fixit sites 6p teardown. I'll post back when i receive them.
[Nexus 6P Accessories] Whip Cracker:
Keen to see if this is a worthy replacement battery. I'm looking for a replacement soon and I haven't got a clue which one to buy!
[Nexus 6P Accessories] anzil1947:
I have ordered one beltron battery from Amazon india. I'm not sure if it will do the job, but for me I don't have any other options as I'm leaving in bahrain where nothing available and not possible to order something from anywhere in online. I hope it'll stay at least six months to one year. I'm happy if i get that much life span at least. The oem what I have is a bull***t, it dies on me even 60% juice left in it. Ill receive mine within 2 days. I'm planning to do it myself. It's my first experience to do swap a battery by myself. Wish me luck and I'll update my experience soon.
[Nexus 6P Accessories] Pineapplelaw:
Ordered battery from Amazon.ca:

Replacement 3.82V 3550mAh HB416683ECW Battery For Huawei Google Nexus 6P H1511 H1512 https://www.amazon.ca/dp/B01MY45AU4/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_apa_fRqeAb31X64JF

Not oem but heavier then oem battery, 54g.

Battery marked 3550mah and I did get around that in some charge.

Used for 10 days and its working great. Just bought another one for my friend.

Just got 5h SOT with 12% left.
[Nexus 6P Accessories] 18yusuf:
The Hsabat battery I mentioned above is arrived and weighed 43,33 grams. It gotta be like 3000 mah. I think I learned my lesson. Don't buy this battery!

Edit: I think I was a bit harsh on that battery. If you have a battery with early shut down issue, this battery may be useful for you.

BUT, if you have a battery which doesn't have any early shutdown issue, but only lost ~%20 capacity of it, do not buy this battery to enhance your SOT, etc.
[Nexus 6P Accessories] jrg67:
Update: The battery I got is now reporting 101% capacity per accubattery after 9 charge cycles. Pretty good with that. I am also routinely getting 4.5 to 5.5 hours screen time and now 1.5-2 days before plugging in (depending on usage which really isn't that heavy for me). I do still see the battery % indicator drop by 2% sometimes but I honestly think that has got to be something software related b/c it's not appearing to effect anything and I do not get any early shutdowns. I think it's time I go ahead and buy the replacement bottom plastic trim piece that I melted and take the glass visor off to try to clean the camera lens I smudged.
[Nexus 6P Accessories] 18yusuf:
I am currently thinking on modding some other phone's battery and use it with 6P. It is actually pretty simple to do, and it is possible to upgrade the battery life. There are 2 problems to do so:

1) Finding a battery which can fit into 6P

2) Finding someone selling genuine battery.
[Nexus 6P Accessories] Ytrewq321:
First time poster here. Have lurked for a while waiting for OEMs. I am looking forward to purchase OEM from the seller topcombine (ebay(.)com/itm/263206235325[/url]) located in China. I am located in the US but I am yet to buy stuff located outside the US on Ebay.

While purchasing the battery from Ebay located in China, did you guys have to pay other hidden charges like foreign transaction fees/foreign exchange fees etc? Does Paypal charge extra for paying the seller? In regards to various charges as well as security, is Paypal or Credit Card the better choice to make the payment? The seller has listed the battery for US $18.97 with free shipping. Was this the price you paid for the OEM or did you paid extra amount as fees for the purchase?
[Nexus 6P Accessories] SFG:
Nope. Mine was only the flat buy it now charge that included shipping.
[Nexus 6P Accessories] Ytrewq321:
Thanks for replying. Did you use Paypal or Credit card to make payment?
[Nexus 6P Accessories] msmcintosh:
I purchased a battery from this seller and used PayPal. In PayPal, I used a credit card for funding. I didn't have any problems with this seller.

I looked at the listing and the picture of the battery is different from the one I purchased. The battery I purchased was the original Huawei battery with the thick ribbon cable. The current pictured battery looks like an aftermarket battery with the thin ribbon cable.
[Nexus 6P Accessories] Ytrewq321:
Thanks for replying. I took the forum recommendations too seriously and missed the thin ribbon cable part. :eek: I have shortlisted 4 sellers where the users of the forum have vouched that they got an OEM from. Seller 1 & 2 have picture of a battery with a thin ribbon cable now! Seller 3 is out of stock. :(

Seller 1: topcombine - $18.97 ebay(.)com/itm/263206235325

Seller 2: sunflower12314 - $18.09 ebay(.)com/itm/162679236421/

Seller 3: megasource - €13.98 ebay(.)com/itm/112165100363/

I replaced my battery with one from GDCDirect on eBay (can't post a link) and while it holds a charge just fine, I have the issue where HDR+ on the camera instantly turns off the phone and need to use a USB charger to get it going again. I don't know if it's just a fluke battery or if all of the "thin cable" ones do this. Does anyone that replaced theirs recently have a battery that does not shut off the phone when using the camera? Any links that are still active? Not sure if I just got a dud.
[Nexus 6P Accessories] SFG:
Have you reopened the phone to confirm that you didn't accidentally cause the issue when you replaced the battery?
[Nexus 6P Accessories] keycap:
mine also had this issue after replace a new battery.. what i see is if u keep kill multitasking ..it will not going shut down..but if too much multitasking plus open camera..surely phone will shut down..might be battery problem...
[Nexus 6P Accessories] BoostedK20:
No, but the replacement screen for my wife's Nexus 6p came today (clipped the ribbon cable getting the battery out) and hers is doing the same thing, since I had a chance to put hers back together. I bought two of the same batteries from GDCDirect. It's definitely the batteries they sell.
[Nexus 6P Accessories] SFG:
Finally received my OEM replacement from eBay seller titanhere. It was manufactured in October of 2015. I popped it in and after I cleared AccuBatterys data, it is reporting as 91% capacity. Another user who bought from the same buyer reported that his battery's report improved over a couple charge cycles. Hoping mine gets to 100%
[Nexus 6P Accessories] lil_ith:
Good luck mate. Let us know how it goes for you.
[Nexus 6P Accessories] enginmanap:
does it have the thermal sensors?
[Nexus 6P Accessories] Edgio60:
A local shop replaced my battery with one from the same supplier, with the thin ribbon. Same issue. Got the old battery put back in, I had a bad feeling about it.

Have ordered another replacement from here, apparently been selling actual OEM batteries:

Seller is terrible at communication. Hopefully you don't have to wait a month to get yours as I did. All in all it was worth the wait. FYI, I only paid $18.
[Nexus 6P Accessories] Edgio60:
Glad to hear it's OEM anyway! Not particularly bothered about the delivery time as I have a Pixel 2 XL now, the 6P is getting passed to my mum [emoji23]
[Nexus 6P Accessories] Ytrewq321:
You got OEMs from the seller Titan_here for $18? Hasn't he listed it for $29.99?
[Nexus 6P Accessories] SFG:
Supply and demand has taken its toll. Even at $30, it's a good deal.
[Nexus 6P Accessories] Ytrewq321:
Damn! Looks like the titan realized the other sellers have replaced their listing picture with the small cable one.
[Nexus 6P Accessories] Edgio60:
There's a few resellers in Ireland selling OEMs for over €100 now. Madness! [emoji50]

If I would've had to spend that much, I'd have just upgraded to the Pixel 2 XL. That's insane!
[Nexus 6P Accessories] 18yusuf:
I am the one who posted those pictures on Aliexpress about Hsabat's battery. If you peel off the layer on those batteries you'd probably see that the battery is not even 3000 mAh.

---------- Post added at 12:23 PM ---------- Previous post was at 11:49 AM ----------

As I mentioned before, I was thinking of modding a bigger battery to use it with 6P. But when I disassemble the phone, I realize that there is no way to put a wider or thicker battery into the 6P. There is a possibility to put a taller battery with the same width and thickness, but it would only add 7 percent more capacity. The OEM battery has 75 millimeters length without the battery board, and even if you remove the battery board, there will be 5 millimeters available space to put a taller battery. This is out of option for now.

If 6P were 1 - 1,5 millimetres thicker, it could have a battery capacity around 4300-5100 mAh and there won't be any camera bump. But obviously, it would be heavier.

I should tell you, all of those numbers estimated roughly.

I couldn't find a solid review for a replacement battery on Aliexpress which indicates it has at least the same capacity with the OEM one. I'll let you people know when I find one.
[Nexus 6P Accessories] Nehemoth:
Been using the Cameron Sino battery since the end of July and everything has been great so far.
[Nexus 6P Accessories] jrg67:
My OEM battery from titan_here is still reporting 101% capacity and I received the first one I ordered from another eBay seller. That one is OEM as well and has a manufactured date of 12/5/15 so it's about 2 months newer than the one I got from titan_here. I was going to sell it when I got it delivered but I think I'll keep it just to be on the safe side. If the P2XL drops in price, then I'll grab that and finally retire the 6P but I'm good for now. Battery life is back to normal.
[Nexus 6P Accessories] SFG:
That's a smart move considering the depleted inventory and price hike.
[Nexus 6P Accessories] nomisunrider:
What is the name of the other ebay seller?
[Nexus 6P Accessories] greenmatrix:
Has anyone here tried replacing a 6p battery with a crack in the screen?

I have one crack in the top left corner running from the edge to just past the camera. I think it would be doable take the screen/digitizer off but I'm a bit worried about cracking it more. How much pressure does taking the screen/digitizer off exert on the screen glass?
