[Note 7 Themes, Apps, and Mods] Mr.Ultimate:
battery has arrived, waiting for the phone now. Measured battery just roughly quickly with measuring tape and it appears excellent candidate. ~4mm thick, ~80mm tall ~3.6mm width (just talking from my guestimates, nothing precise but looks smaller than anticipated )
[Note 7 Themes, Apps, and Mods] Mr.Ultimate:
Ok people, brace up yourselves for some updates! Been working on my note7 and this battery mod for past few days, will hit you's all with photos and details later today, some good/bad of both worlds and some unique on top :)
[Note 7 Themes, Apps, and Mods] :
And who you gonna blame when your house burns down ?
[Note 7 Themes, Apps, and Mods] Mr.Ultimate:
how wonderful is your life? full of fear and lack of interests? talk down on someone elses achievements no matter how insignificant? no adventures yet enjoy pointing fingers on others? thoughts of blaming someone will solve something post fact? thats smart-talk, gtfo if you have nothing constructive to add

I will do "apple-sandwich mod" for this note7 and if it gets on fire posing risk to burn my house down it will have to toast trough my hip first and then we'll talk alright? :]
[Note 7 Themes, Apps, and Mods] Mr.Ultimate:
Interesting observation, my LDU Note7 is only running at 1.98GHz instead of 2.6GHz, it reports exact same CPU exynos8890, 4GB ram and 64GB flash memory storage, just CPU seems slower, so I ran CPU-Z to check whats what, temps and throttling etc, no problems, only that the CPU is well underpowered, I wonder after creating apple-sandwich battery-MOD will I be able to properly bench this device trying to pull most out of the new battery setup, just because of locked down CPU... the load may not be 1:1 to retail Note7 due to CPU frequency differences..

After playing around alot with rom's and firmwares on this LDU N7, it has has now been just about 24hours on a standby and occasional time/weather forecasts/on-screen memo checking etc , no internet browsing and still have 25% of the battery left, steady and nicely battery drains down while on flight mode with wifi off... to be expected for half-alive old iphone6 battery that may actually only hold ~1000mah of true capacity at this point.

I have located one more old iphone6 battery which I have now prepared for the project, should attempt to do this tonight, providing I can discharge them both low enough to the exact same voltage before bridging them together.

Providing this works, Im ordering two brand new original apple iphone6 batteries and will proceed from there.

One thing I have noticed, and I believe I stand correct but if Im mistaken please feel free to advise me otherwise.

Samsung in settings -> about -> battery info : reports battery is "9V 1.67A rated" which is I believe according to what phone reads from the original N7 battery charging PCB board that I have attatched to the apple battery. Now I believe this is because fast-charge technology used to charge the battery requires fast-charger that supports 9v output and therefore battery must be compatible with such charge-loads, however, I believe this N7 battery charging PCB board will attempt to charge any battery that is soldered to it in such way providing fast-charging feature is enabled and fast-charge adapter with appropriate USB cable is being used, so as far as apple batteries go - they dont support anything else than 5V 2.0A charge load, and therefore adjusts and downregulates to what apple battery cell can take via apple battery charging PCB. So my reasoning goes that fast-charging should not be used by anyone running such battery mod, and best way of doing this simply not using fast charger and reverting to old generation samsung charging brick that supports no more than 5V 2.0A power output, so even if phone is being reset and settings not changed in advanced power menu for fast-charging to be disabled, user would be in the most safest position with underpowered charger that does not provide 9V fast charging supported feature. Just saying, would be nice if like minded brains would tune in

Love reading you, never give up :) :good:
[Note 7 Themes, Apps, and Mods] Mr.Ultimate:
Time for updates, TODAY ;)
[Note 7 Themes, Apps, and Mods] Mr.Ultimate:
After trying something out it seems only generic replacement batteries of iphone6 replacement line is the key.

Original iphone6 battery seems ~1.5mm thicker than the generic replacement replica battery, therefore it adds up and it is just too thick for the back to go back on. Will try get few of the generics and go from there.

I asume it will not be great quality batteries but just wanna try anyway, should deliver ~2000-2500mah when combined I believe.

Otherwise Im thinking of other options, and Im sure there will be some as time goes by, just need to discover which one is the best of the options as from any other new/old samsung galaxy phones and maybe other manufacturers too.

Got myself a wireless battery backpack for note7 to do some more experiments later
[Note 7 Themes, Apps, and Mods] Mr.Ultimate:
re-measured battery compartment of note7 chassis, and it comes out at:

38.4mm * 99.2mm * 5.4mm
[Note 7 Themes, Apps, and Mods] Mr.Ultimate:
Ok Ok OK!

after some second thoughts and ideas, I went and inspected S7 3000mah battery again.

Have stripped it of the black sealing tape material around the sides, found silver battery container material was over-laping and folded on to the sides of the battery adding some unnecessary width to the S7 battery in my case here, so after removing the tape material and folding back the excess battery container sealing material on the edges of the battery I am now measuring my S7 battery width @ 38.15mm which leaves not too much but enough space for having this battery nicely fit and still have slight movement side to side. We're of course talking just ~0.175mm side to side gap, but that is alot compared to how original LDU note7 battery was jammed in there without any gaps. Tallness of the battery is also sufficient @ 5mm and this battery being shorter sufficiently makes it perfect DIY candidate!

Soldering and doing final mod of the day right now
[Note 7 Themes, Apps, and Mods] Mr.Ultimate:
Its in and its charging well! started to recharge from 0% and even as a first go trying with a fast charger and quick charge option enabled, battery still just room/body temperature@ already 33% , reports ~1h11min remaining till full charge, took about 15 minutes to get to this charge level from zero using fast charge.

uploading some eye-candy here:

https://postimg.org/gallery/2whfuvsmk

gonna give it a full charge and see if it drops temperature when reaches 100% or continues to maintain the temperature (etc overcharge)
[Note 7 Themes, Apps, and Mods] Mr.Ultimate:
Charged up to 100% in I dare say ~1h and not much more :) while charging via fast-charge battery temp was constant room temp, CPU-Z reported ~32+ Celsius , temperature dropped to ~30-31+ C when battery charge reached 50% mark, and when it was closing in to the full 100% charge I observed [MENTION=5720362]99%[/MENTION] mark temperature of battery began to drop to ~29.0-29.5+ C rather rapidly, battery voltage at that specific moment was reading 4357mV , and when it hit 100% it did not change, maintained at the same charge level and temperature of the battery continued to drop, which is all good signs!

Reassembly of the phone back was easy enough. Talking about bent edges of the S7 battery container material underneath the battery as seen in pictures has battery slightly raised which is flexible feature and battery can be easily pushed in enough without effort, which was what happened assembling the back case on, I felt slight tension underneath when reattaching the back glass but after applying some hot air and pressure I think all had ironed out. Have this now set in a note7 battery-backpack case which grabs phone real well and should keep the back glued to the chassis till it cools down and adheres sufficiently therefore holding bouncy retro-fitment design S7 battery well in place.
[Note 7 Themes, Apps, and Mods] Anova's Origin:
That's just amazing... What does CPU-Z or any other app report as the maximum battery capacity?
[Note 7 Themes, Apps, and Mods] Mr.Ultimate:
Battery capacity is reported as 3500mah because we're using original note7 battery pcb. I was looking in to replacing chips and capacitors/resistors from s7 battery pcb on to n7 battery pcb but these chips has diff layout of pins 6 on s7 vs 8 on n7 each... so it's not an option.

The only other option I thought off was leaving entire s7 pcb on and by using spare battery connector jumping appropriate wires from it directly on to socket of s7 Battery, only because we still have so much space under the back case at the bottom of the battery, battery could be moved all the way down and the gap at the top can be used for wiring and folding of flex connections etc.

However at this point I don't think it's necessary as I was measuring voltage as it was approaching 100% voltage climbing had stopped before it loaded to 100% and temperature suddenly began to drop also. So in theory n7 battery pcb understands s7 capacity well and does not overcharge it at all, especially even when using fast charge!
[Note 7 Themes, Apps, and Mods] Mr.Ultimate:
Today, after doing some custom firmware work back and forward, I have managed to exhaust battery to ~35% from last time I have charged it, this time this battery felt real strong and durable providing how much workload I have put on the phone flashing and booting custom firmwares over and over and over again etc etc, and just to see battery drain real slow made me even more satisfied.

Today also retired battery recharge from low 30% while phone is OFF and again by using quick charge, it was charging well and quick, battery as expected reached ~33+ C (measured popped back cover with infra-red thermometer) and while it was approaching 100% again @ 97% I notice temperature dropped all the way down to 29+ C, phone is stone cold now, battery is maintaining at 99% temperature of the battery dropped down to 27+ C , so I assume all is very well and good

Update: Used phone for week with Nokia BL-5C 3.7V 850 mah Battery. Note7 battery chip was soldered to Nokia battery terminals as posted previously. Following runtimes were observed:

1)	1hr 4k YouTube video playback with full brightness, Bluetooth, Wi-Fi AC 5Ghz connection

2)	7am to 11:30 pm battery life with light to normal usage with help of external battery

I encountered following major issues with Nokia battery during testing:

1)	Phone turning off anywhere below 15%.

2)	After restart phone went into boot loop until charger was connected.

3)	Phone would never charge 100% and never get out of charging state.

Second time around I used Blackberry LS1 3.8V 1800 mah battery. This time Note 7 battery chip was soldered to Blackberry battery’s cell. On the BB battery chip there are two terminals which can be used to connect to cell without disassembling the battery (I used voltmeter to check for continuity). These terminals on the chip are directly connected to cell bypassing all the protectionary circuit. I wanted to make sure there is only one battery circuit controlling the charging and discharging. I was comfortable connecting a 3.8V cell to note 7 circuit directly. See attached picture for the terminals I used. When I opened two different Blackberry batteries they both had different chips, so I had to waste two batteries to find the right soldering points. The newer blackberry battery is made by Samsung SDI (Hopefully this one does not catch on fire ). Following run times were observed:

1)	3.5 hrs 4K YouTube video playback with full screen brightness, Bluetooth, Wi-Fi AC 5ghz connection

2)	7 am to 4pm without external pack (lost external battery pack)

Following benefits with LS1 battery:

1)	Phone drains to 0% and turns off normally

2)	No boot loop

3)	Phone charges 100% and shows charging complete

Major Issues:

1)	Runtime less than Note 7 default battery(obviously).

2)	Nothing else, Yet!!!

I saw your previous posts, amazing work you are doing there. I am very hesitant to insert a S7 battery just because the clearances are not that great. I guess its just confidence thing
[Note 7 Themes, Apps, and Mods] Mr.Ultimate:
very well, great job.

I have actually had a real great time with my LDU note7 with S7 battery, I would watch 3+h of youtube playtime, didnt bother with checking settings or else was just regular chilling online and killing some time, I still had 30+ battery left which lasted me entire day, so give or take ~18-20 hours of total run time, it goes to 0% before powering off, charges like normal to 100% and all seemed fine. Silly me tried some xposed and magisk mods on my perfectly running working LDU note7 and I ended up with hard-brick. It began with a boot-loop, then went in to recovery and could not do even factory reset or restore to new rom as it seemed my file system got corrupted somehow and would not let me even format storage, would take forever and then would crap out with errors. tried going in to download mode, began downloading and ended up with hung ODIN... hard reset to black screen and nothing more ever since. It was bootloop resetting with complete black screen and no signs of any kind of life, no vibration no lights of any kind, just being detected on myComputer dev manager as exynos8890 and thats that. Battery was 60+ % when this began to happen, and after days of hope I seem to have drained battery to beyond point of charging and now have complete hard brick. it does not charge while on wireless or usb connection/fast charger connection, it does not go to recovery or download modes, it does not show anything on screen, it feels a complete brick. However, I have measured battery and now it shows ~2.5v only so it appears it went just too low while I was hoping it will kick itself in on specific key-combo pressed in over a whole day while plugged in to laptop me expecting it to kick in to DL mode suddenly and ODIN will begin auto-flash, never happened. Luckily I still have apple battery which was fully charged prior removal and I hope it will give me some extra boost maybe even help freshen up cold brick boot... just 99% given up on it at this point, too much efforts, after all working on LDU was a very bad idea trying to do some mods on the firmware, killed it, nailed it :) however, S7 battery is the most excellent mod for the battery in my honest opinion.

If I will auction this LDU on ebay, I will keep the battery for someone who wants it and I also think I will throw it on ebay... in case of course if I cannot revive this LDU to play with it any more.
[Note 7 Themes, Apps, and Mods] roadriano:
Wow great news. I am wondering if the S8 3500 mah battery will be a better fit :confused: since S8 is prety much a Note7 :p
[Note 7 Themes, Apps, and Mods] Mr.Ultimate:
seen S8+ battery which is wider, and S8 ... well, whats the point when S7 standard battery works 100% perfectly for Note7 battery swap? :)
[Note 7 Themes, Apps, and Mods] freccia:
Hi I'm sorry for your note7... but compliments for your work! Do you still have the s7 modded battery? I'd need it for my note7 still working but without battery cause it was Swollen... I would buy it. Thanks a lot. :fingers-crossed:
[Note 7 Themes, Apps, and Mods] roadriano:
Hi, I am planning to swap battery aswell. What did you use to not get the pushed update from samsung that kills the phone ?
[Note 7 Themes, Apps, and Mods] Daniyaltahir:
So you can just swap note 7 battery with s7 without any mod and it works? Sorry got confused reading all the posts
[Note 7 Themes, Apps, and Mods] oakfan1283:
I've actually done the same mod with an S7 battery and everything is working well. Sadly my phone doesn't have cell service and I'm currently using it as a fancy wifi video player for home. If anyone is interested I'll probably be selling my note 7 complete with the modified battery. Shoot me a PM

---------- Post added at 03:37 PM ---------- Previous post was at 03:36 PM ----------

No, you must desolder the PCB from the old Note 7 battery to the Galaxy S7 battery
[Note 7 Themes, Apps, and Mods] oakfan1283:
Here's some CPUZ screen shots, after watching youtube for an hour, then being idle
[Note 7 Themes, Apps, and Mods] oakfan1283:
So here's the screen on time if anyone is interested. This is Wifi Only, mostly youtube videos in HD+. 100% to 5% charge on the S7 3000mah battery
[Note 7 Themes, Apps, and Mods] RicePlay33:
Hey, I was wondering, how did you managed to restick the glass back of the device ? Did you ordered a new adhesive ?

[Note 7 Themes, Apps, and Mods] RicePlay33:
Oh alright, was it tough to set up ? I guess you've used some alcohol to get rid of the factory glue didn't you ?
[Note 7 Themes, Apps, and Mods] oakfan1283:
it actually rolls up ok using your fingers, anything left over I used the alcohol
[Note 7 Themes, Apps, and Mods] RicePlay33:
Thanks for the info.
[Note 7 Themes, Apps, and Mods] roadriano:
Hi, So I did the swap with a S7 battery and pcb of the Note 7 battery. So far runs very well. I'm on my first full charge and had no issues. I will start testing it out those couple of days.
[Note 7 Themes, Apps, and Mods] roadriano:
After playing a couple of days with it I realise that I do charge to 100% but not 3000mAh and about 2100 2200 mAh . No idea why it does that. The battery still lasts a full day using it normally .
[Note 7 Themes, Apps, and Mods] donce1991:
got my hands on some batteries, so i can post some dimensions (width, cos its the most important one and capacity), so far, those are the ones who are not compatible (i got original ones, fake and copies can and most of the time will be a bitt different size):

S6 46mm 2550 mah

s6 edge 44mm 2600 mah

s6 edge+ 44mm 3000 mah

S7 edge 42mm 3600 mah

S7 Active 40mm 4000 mah

s8 40mm 3000 mah

s8+ 46mm 3500 mah

note edge 40,6mm 3000 mah

note4 41.4mm 3200 mah

Note5 42mm 3000 mah​

so far only these are compatible:

S7 39mm 3000 mah

note8 39mm 3300 mah​

but still there are about 1 mm of width needed (original battery is almost less than 38mm) so you have to either take the tape off the battery and fold its sides or better remove that frame part between battery and motherboard, so, because of the size, i did the mechanical modification and put note8 battery in my note7, so far, the SOT is amazing (like more than half a day on wifi playing youtube ect) but charging is crappy (like 5 percent for half an hour, when jumps straight to about 80 and so on), of course it could because i am using note8 battery with its original charging board (no modification to battery only some to connector), will be posting more detailed info later if its gonna work out well :)
[Note 7 Themes, Apps, and Mods] roadriano:
Keep us posted for the Note8 battery mod .. S7 so far works great I used it with cellular and data plan . Easiest mod and fits perfectly. Not to happy about the charge tho ... maybe because of the note 7 original battery pcb ? charges around 2200 mAh even if it says charged 100% ... Or maybe the app that reads doesnt work well ...
[Note 7 Themes, Apps, and Mods] donce1991:
sure :) as for the pcb, it could be the culprit, how the sot time on average? if it gives like 2/3 time of old battery, then there is definitely a problem

i did similar modification to friends s6 (to s7 battery) as someone did in https://xdaforums.com/galaxy-s6/help/replacing-s6-battery-s7-edge-battery-t3410977 and https://vordhosbn.com/index.php/blog/tech/galaxy-s6-battery-mod-s7-edge-battery/ and it worked just fine so i think that not replacing the pcb on the new battery shouldn't make a big difference

edit: the pcb is not the culprit, you should only use the old battery pcb, about your battery capacity, its like this because your bought battery is fake and actually has just about 2200 mah capacity :(
[Note 7 Themes, Apps, and Mods] parser:
I want to do the same procedure for note 5- s7 edge battery. Have a note 5 and battery is dying so I wanna give it a try. According to the table in the last page, both batteries are 42mm. The only difference is s7e battery is 13w/h where note 5 battery is 11w/h. Would it be a problem?

Would the procedure be as easy as changing pcbs and putting the battery in or is there something else?
[Note 7 Themes, Apps, and Mods] donce1991:
Yes, the procedure is about right, it should fit (i didn't measured note5 battery height, but it shouldn't exceed 5mm) and you should still have some space left, of course note5 didn't had a recall so you could also get the original battery (code for original note5 battery GH43-04522A, for s7 edge GH43-04575B) the hard part is that with original pcb there is a possibility it might not see full capacity and only like 70 or 90 percent of the new battery capacity (still great because of bigger new battery size of course) and if you use new battery with its own pcb there are some problems with capacity reading like it charges to 100 percent but the phone shows only like 79 percent.

edit: the last part (about capacity and charging) is somewhat false, if you gonna do any modification to use a diff battery then you should use the old battery controller pcb on new battery to ensure best working condition
[Note 7 Themes, Apps, and Mods] donce1991:

Hi, could you tell me the exact sizes of s8 and s7 edge?
[Note 7 Themes, Apps, and Mods] donce1991:
s8 - 40 x 83 x 5,7 mm

s7 edge - 42 x 96 x 5 mm
[Note 7 Themes, Apps, and Mods] dmartuniac:
Dang, i thought I could fit the s7e battery inside s8, but it seems impossible. After 1 and a half years, my battery can't get me through a day, so i want to change it. Any recommendations about this procedure? I meam, wich battery could fit but is a little bit bigger in terms of mAh?
[Note 7 Themes, Apps, and Mods] donce1991:
cant say for sure, but a8 or s9 batteries looks similar size, but i don't have the exact measurements, but don't look at the older models, samsung improves their batteries every year, so you wont find a bigger (size /capacity) density battery in older phones compared to yours
[Note 7 Themes, Apps, and Mods] tudgirl:
My dudes, i have a note 7, but i don't have a battery, so i just thought that i could plug it in just for fun. Well the problem is that it works. It works for 5 minutes, then it starts restarting every 20 seconds. My question is, HOW IS THIS POSSIBLE?
[Note 7 Themes, Apps, and Mods] Hzlph:
I'm sorry I'm years late, but you gotta plug the phone in with a fast charger of any kind and it will work (and will be "charging", and funny enough it will go up in charge as though there was a battery in).

That's what I do with mine just to use it for no reason
[Note 7 Themes, Apps, and Mods] prston007:
I have to disagree with your assessment of Samsung fast charging technology. My Note 4 was my first Note with fast charging. In 2019, I am still using my N4 with original battery ... and I always fast charged it. The N4 battery remains strong. Since Sept 2017, I fast charged my N7. The battery doesn't hold a charge like new 3 years later but it still charges very fast and holds up for a while (no worse than my N8).

---------- Post added at 01:28 AM ---------- Previous post was at 01:13 AM ----------

Using calipers, I got these dimensions from my original N7 2nd Edition battery: 37.9 mm x 97.8 mm x 4.9 mm

And your N7 battery was 37mm wide? Really?
