If it helps, I used a high temperature silicone, but you could probably use regular without a problem. I used silicone so it can be pealed off if needed. I just lightly dabbed it around so it wouldn't contact screws or the cables, and then used electrical tape on the sides to make sure it stayed curved to the frame and put it back in my case.

It worked better then I thought since I almost couldn't get it off again. If water tight is a concern, I don't see it mattering to much if you were to go around the edges completely, just be mindful to not entirely cover the screws just in case you take it back apart.

I bought one from EKHAN wireless on Amazon. It is not listed anymore. It was branded Motorola. It actually had a Motorola logo on it, which may or may not mean anything. It was pre bent. I have had it in for a couple of charge/discharge cycles and it is just as good as the original battery. The only issue, and it may not be battery related, is that it will not Quick Charge. I bought some back cover adhesive that worked well. https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B01N95MWVJ/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o01_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1. It fit well and was cheap enough. Last thing, be careful taking the back panel off. The adhesive sticks to the cables so be careful you don't do any damage.

One last thing do NOT use silicone adhesive on the back panel as one writer suggests. It contains acetic acid. That is the vinegar smell. It is harmful to electronics. Whether it actually causes a problem its hard to predict because of the variables. It is best to avoid. Kind of like the plague.

My battery would need to be charge 3 times a day, so decided to buy a new battery from a seller known for OEM batteries but for $33 compared to the generic $15 ones. (Note: Don't buy cheap torx screwdrivers from china, they stripped like 5 of my screws and i had to use a 1/16 drill bit to drill them out...overall a pain to replace this battery because of that). When i got the battery it had the Motorola logo on it but some of the text/images were in a different position...which got me worried . According to AccuBattery, my old battery had about 60% health, with the new battery after 10 cycle charges has 95% health. Fast/Quick charge does work on this battery, but i'm probably just going to slow charge it to prevent heat buildup to keep my battery lasting longer. Overall the battery is good and seems to be the OEM...here is the link for anyone who wants to get it. https://www.ebay.com/itm/OEM-NEW-MO...528910?hash=item41df42278e:g:2OYAAOSwiqFacQk0
[X Style (Pure) Accessories] AlphaKilo09:
Just wondering.. If there is a higher capacity battery(more than 2800/3000mah) available for Moto X Pure/Style which would fit inside with less problems. I don't care if the back cover doesn't fit.

Update:

I've found a 3600 mah FX30 battery on aliexpress for my Moto X Style and ordered it. Now, only one way to find out if it is truly what it claims on the website. Will update on the item when it arrives as the shipping takes quite a while.

Here's the link: https://www.aliexpress.com/item/-/32880098674.html?spm=a2g0s.8937460.0.0.2ac72e0em7Ya7P
[X Style (Pure) Accessories] R77:
Did you bend the battery to fit the phone?
[X Style (Pure) Accessories] iTakMD:
Nope, the battery was already curved and fit right in. Just an update...after 20+ cycle charges, Accubattery now says 100% capacity. I guess it's safe to say that that battery is OEM.
[X Style (Pure) Accessories] R77:
Did you apply any adhesive if so can I have a link I'm new to this by the way?
[X Style (Pure) Accessories] iTakMD:
Yeah i needed adhesive to put the back cover back in, i bought this: https://www.amazon.com/dp/B01N95MWVJ/ref=olp_product_details?_encoding=UTF8&me=

Think it's just a generic adhesive, wasn't hard to apply and is pretty sticky like the original adhesive...seems to do the job.
[X Style (Pure) Accessories] R77:
Did you use a heat gun to remove the back? Is this the battery you bought:

https://m.ebay.com/itm/OEM-NEW-MOTO...RY-FX30-3000mAh-3-8V/282918528910?_mwBanner=1

Is the battery still going strong?
[X Style (Pure) Accessories] iTakMD:
Yes that is the battery i bought, and no i didn't use a heat gun. I used a hair dryer and heated for like 10 seconds and pulled, repeating until it came off. It's only been 3-4 weeks, but yes the battery is running strong.
[X Style (Pure) Accessories] R77:
Oh right thanks
[X Style (Pure) Accessories] soulweeper51:
Genuine OEM Motorola battery. A bit cheaper than some that have been posted.

[X Style (Pure) Accessories] aybarrap1:
I purchased the same back adhesive of Amazon. Used a hair dryer to loosen the old back adhesive. The battery I got on eBay fit perfectly. The hardest part of the whole project was cleaning off the old adhesive.
[X Style (Pure) Accessories] ShapeShifter499:
I plan on doing this, I have a couple of questions is the adhesive really necessary? I use a phone case with my Moto X Pure, shouldn't I be alright holding everything in place with my case? It's one of those full body cases that have kept my phone from shattering after the numerous times I've dropped it.

Also does anyone have a link to a set of screwdrivers that work for this phone? Preferably one I can pay using PayPal. I don't seem to have torx screwdrivers small enough.
[X Style (Pure) Accessories] aybarrap1:
At a minimum I recommend getting a roll of 3M double sided Scotch tape which should work on for the backing. It is already highly recommended to get for securing the battery.

I'm not sure of all the stores to use PayPal but I know you can use it on Sears online. Just search for torx T3. You will get sets and individual screwdrivers and bits. I purchased a small electronics repair kit from Harbor freight which had the torx bit required. It was less than $10 and I do just enough small electronics repairs to make it worth it.
[X Style (Pure) Accessories] ShapeShifter499:
Good to know that Harbor Freight's kit was good enough, there is one quite close by to me. I'll swing by later to see if they have a kit in stock.

Thanks for the link, just brought one. I hope they are good.
[X Style (Pure) Accessories] ShapeShifter499:
DELETE ME
[X Style (Pure) Accessories] ShapeShifter499:
Ok so I have a update. I replaced the battery successfully but I haven't had much time to tell if there is a big difference. I brought a $4.99 screwdriver kit with a T3 Torx bit from Harbor Freight. I just used a bunch of 3M "permanent" double sided tape for the battery and the cover, then I replaced my case back on my phone. While I was taking out screws I stripped two, one of which I was able to remove. The other stripped screw was the one directly left of the camera lens and I did not remove it cleanly, instead the whole standoff ripped off the motherboard. I thought had killed the phone at this point but I put it together anyways with the new battery. Everything seems to be working despite the damage. NFC, Wifi, bluetooth, Cellular (data and calls), touch screen, charging, syncing. and both front and back cameras with flash. So I don't know if that bit I ripped off affected anything major. I do notice some backlight bleed in the screen that is so minor that I can live with it. All in all I did manage to save myself money on a new phone and replace the battery. I just hope nothing unseen happens now.

---------- Post added at 02:30 AM ---------- Previous post was at 02:19 AM ----------

I think I might be able to "fix" some of the backlight bleed if I can find just one replacement screw that isn't stripped to death. Any ideas where I can get some screws?
[X Style (Pure) Accessories] CthulhuDreams:
Looking to do this repair myself soon. Is there a consensus on what size of torx bit is actually needed? I've seen conflicting information about whether to use a T3 or T4. Can anyone recommend a size/brand they used to successfully make this repair without stripping any of the screws?
[X Style (Pure) Accessories] aybarrap1:
T3 is definitely the size for the MXPE XT1575, so I imagine it is the same for XT1572/XT1570. I used a little electronics repair kit from Harbor Freight and it worked nicely without stripping any screws. Just remember that when putting the screws back in, don't torque to much. Just to the point where it is snug has worked fine for me after two months with no screen issues (i.e. discoloration in spots).
[X Style (Pure) Accessories] andromobilogy:
After nearly 3 years of usage my old battery had only 7% health according to AccuBattery app.

My phone was on the point that when I ended charging it, 5 min after it was powering off again.

Thank you for the info provided above. I got a new battery from the link above and two adhesive strips from another link posted somewhere else on this thread.

Now I'm on my second charge with the new battery. It feels like the phone is new again.

I did the battery replacement myself watching one or two videos on youtube and with a T4 screwdriver.

New battery was curved from the box and it fit normally to the phone. (Old battery is curved too)

Comparing both batteries just by looking from outside they look nearly identical. (Nearly same text, serials, capacity, weight, color etc)

Of course its soon to judge if its an orginal product or not as I'm just on the 2nd charge but so far I'm back on 3h SoT time with my normal usagel. I'll check after a week how it goes with it :)
[X Style (Pure) Accessories] aybarrap1:
Good luck. Hope it continues to work out for you. Thus far, I'm 3 months in on my battery replacement and it is still working well. Figured for the cost and a little work, I can't justify the upgrade.
[X Style (Pure) Accessories] X_Marine:
:good:

Many thanks for all the follow up post as they do give some hope that the replacement batteries are not fake.

As some have mentioned I also miss my older cells with easily replaceable batteries.

Now to find a cpl good vids on disassembly possibly from this thread.

One tip I might add is to warm the entire phone with heating pad or similar on low heat for several hours or over night, as this will help with some of the internal adhesives.

Greatly appreciate all the info.

Many thanks

Does anyone knows where to buy decent replacement FX30 battery in europe (or china). Tried those fake ones off ebay but capacity below 2k mAh and they die after 2 months of use - waste of time and money. No one from US will ship batteries to europe due to federal law regulations.

Motorola/Lenovo are not helping either. Was willing to pay them to replace the battery in authorised service but no one in Lenovo/Moto knew the cost. They asked to send device in for a week for their, so called, 'engineers' to investigate and then they would give the quote. Really? ..just to find out that the price is.. say £100 or more. No, thank you.

Well, I'm still on the hunt for half decent replacement that won't crap on me within 2 months. (Or even burn my house in the process). Anyone had good experience with non-original FX30 batteries long term?

That's ridiculously difficult to find original one in europe.

Thanks

[X Style (Pure) Accessories] R77:
Really you made the post in April?
[X Style (Pure) Accessories] AlphaKilo09:
Yes, I made the post On April 19th, to see if anyone has any experience with the batteries sold on aliexpress. But since, no one seems to do, I went ahead and ordered one myself and then updated the same post on August 22nd, instead of creating another new post.

And in my experience, products ordered from aliexpress which ships from China usually takes around 60 days to deliver if I am lucky. If it takes any longer the seller usually requests and extends the purchase protection at least once for another 30 days before I decide to take any other action.

iFixit now sells OEM Motorola batteries. A bit pricier than what you'll find on eBay, but you'll be getting them from a trusted source.

[X Style (Pure) Accessories] aybarrap1:
Actually the battery itself costs about the same as the one legitimate battery I got from eBay. For $40 the whole kit can be purchased which includes the battery, backing adhesive, double sided adhesive to hold the battery, and all the necessary tools (minus a heat gun or hair dryer to loosen old adhesive). For $40, it is not a bad price.
[X Style (Pure) Accessories] R77:
Did you ever get the battery, if so how did it go is it going strong?
[X Style (Pure) Accessories] tbkrazeey:
Hey btw, that ebay motorola branded battery I bought off ebay 8 months ago is still doing great, still showing 2900 - 3000 mah. It's not my daily driver anymore but I still use it regularly, still going strong. I will give the moto x pure one thing, it's like a tank.

I still also have that silicon adhesive holding the back on that the one guy said was harmful to electronics and should be avoided like the plague, sooo, yea.

:rolleyes:
[X Style (Pure) Accessories] aybarrap1:
That's good. I know a lot of eBay batteries have been hit or miss.

I just bought the pre cut backing adhesive for less potential mess.
[X Style (Pure) Accessories] JohnMcW:
ebay battery length

bought an Ebay battery and replaced my battery 2 months ago....and now the phone is shutting down randomly between 45 and 30%, usually if I start a graphics intense game. Until then it seems to work fine. Guess I got a bad one...or there is something going on with the operating system.
[X Style (Pure) Accessories] tbkrazeey:
Do you still have the old battery to swap back for testing? That would probably be the sure way to know, but if you think it's system it's probably best to do a factory reset or be more thorough and do a full reflash.

I've never experienced random shut downs with mine so If it's battery it must be really bad, but mine wasn't exactly bad bad. Maybe its over heating.

:confused:

You can't 100% trust the generic eBay ones, there's not a whole lot of quality control involved.
[X Style (Pure) Accessories] JohnMcW:
The old one was exhibiting similar behavior also, I had cleared the cache / data and that didn't help, so I went to a new battery, which worked for a few months. Will be clearing and re-flashing the phone soon, at the moment using a different moto X Pure without issues.

Will update with the results of the re-flash when I can.
[X Style (Pure) Accessories] tbkrazeey:
I would definitely try that and see how it goes. I can pm you and recommend a ebay seller for a battery if you want, but to be honest and even tho I still love my moto x, it's just to outdated nowadays to spend a lot on.
[X Style (Pure) Accessories] JohnMcW:
totally the battery or phone, not the operating system. Reverted to Stock nougat and only had playing one game to test. phone shut down at 24%,

plugged it in and the phone says it is at 24% power unplugged it has one red bar on the battery, but it can't run the phone, so somehow the battery doesn't seem to be putting out enough power when necessary, or a connection is bad.
[X Style (Pure) Accessories] aybarrap1:
From all that I have read the symptoms mentioned are pretty consistent with the battery going bad on this phone. Around 2 to 2.5 years seems to be the time the battery goes bad for those who report similar issues. Mine was just over 2 years.
[X Style (Pure) Accessories] CyprienZee:
I changed the battery in my Moto X Pure too. I took Cameron-Sino battery with 2800 mAh declared (the app shows 3080 mAh though). After installing the battery the phone's lasts for almost 6 hours of normal usage. On the old battery the phone shut off after 40 minutes, which was painful. The replacement process is relatively easy, so no worries. You should only watch out for the button flex cables. I haven't connected them carefully after the replacement procedure, and my power button refused to function; I had to reconnect the flex again.

Someone told me that by charging the battery only to 80% will preserve the battery from a fast depletion in the future. Could anyone tell me if this is true or just a legend?
[X Style (Pure) Accessories] aybarrap1:
From what I have read, I've seen this same recommendation. I've seen the recommendation to charge to 80% then don't let the battery get below 40%. How accurate... Can't say. I generally stock to 90% or so and will jump charge as needed when possible.

For the most part, you definitely want to stick with the big rules: don't drain to 0% very often and stay away from high heat situations. If you charge to 100% unplug it once fully charged just in case.
[X Style (Pure) Accessories] IceKreamMan:
I replaced 3 batteries this month (all different MXPE phones). I just read through entire thread and thoughts are:

1) Don't remove buttons. No need to remove any silver screws or mess with springs when replacing battery.

2) Check out the youtube video by JerryRigEverything. This is the best out there.

3) No one, not even Jerry, mentions that ribbon cables are stuck to the battery right under flash and at junction from buttons where S curve meets ribbon at 90 degree angle. I suspect this where most DIY will destroy phone. The S curve ribbon can actually pull loose from connected ribbon when removing battery (if you don't unstick from battery first). This is by design and all you need to do is slide ribbon right back into female slot and re-tape (3 hours learned on first phone). So after removing 20 screws and prior to cracking case apart:

i. pop off battery cable

ii. pop off ribbon cable from motherboard

iii. work ribbon cable off battery at S junction trying not to disconnect male/female junction (not shown by Jerry) but if you do just reconnect and re-tape

iv. work ribbon cable off battery under flash or you can rip ribbon cable when removing battery (not shown by Jerry)

v. Release battery via pull tabs

4) All my phone screws were T3 and first two phones went without a hitch as far as screws are concerned. I had two screws give me trouble on third phone and my T4 got them out.

5) If you don't tighten screws snug when putting phone back together you will get backlight bleed.

6) I used 3M 3mm double sided tape via first taping to phone avoiding ribbon cables and then reconnecting back. No need for overpriced template plus tape also works when seating battery.

7) I bought one battery from ebay drfrisker and then went back for two more. I am not affiliated with store.

8) When I had AccuBattery (I uninstalled because app took too much battery) these "Eng. Sample" batteries were showing as having 3400+ma and are giving some crazy stupid ScreenOnTime and standby life and unsure if app was showing capacitance wrong or if batteries are that good.

FX30 battery (3600mah) for Motorola Moto X Style!

Finally My replacement battery has arrived! (a few days back though)

I couldn't wait any longer to bring my dead Moto X Style back to life.. So didn't bother to take any unboxing or post installation photos, sorry.

Good points mentioned in the above post by IceKreamMan, though T3 screw driver stripped three of my screw heads and I have managed to take them out by cutting a slot for a (-)flat head 2.5 screw driver on the stripped screw head. So, for the rest T4 worked best for me including the silver screw.

Important: Take care of the back ribbon cables before removing the battery.

Battery Specs:

Li-ion 3.8V 3600mah

Charging limit 4.4V

Model FX30

https://www.aliexpress.com/item/-/32880098674.html?spm=a2g0s.8937460.0.0.2ac72e0em7Ya7P

Someone in the product reviews for that battery suggested to take off the battery sticker to make it fit perfectly in the battery bay of the phone, and it helped me 100% in avoiding the light bleed on the screen edges. I placed the battery in its slot/bay and gave it some nice & gentle presses on it against the back to give it its curved form (only to realize that I placed it in reverse side first after which I took it out again and placed it in correct side and again gave it a few gentle presses to give it its curved shape on its proper side). So, at this point I thought I messed up and was ready to order new battery again as I have bent this battery on both sides 2 times. Anyways, now it fits perfectly fine and didn't have to put any additional adhesives to keep the battery in place.

Fortunately, the new 3600mah battery works better than my stock motorola (2810mah) battery.

Now some screenshots with the new battery's performance:

Under regular/normal usage conditions.

It says 4000mah on the battery sticker, but Accubattery reads its capacity close to the 3600mah rating, same as described by the seller.

PS.

1)The 1st thumbnail is of the battery sticker which was removed before installing it.

2)The design capacity of the battery shown is user set.

This! Those "eng. sample" batteries from OEM Liquidation are the only legit products I've seen so far. Does drfrisker sell them as well?
[X Style (Pure) Accessories] jrredho:
Wait, are you guys implying that you don't know that iFixit.com is the official Moto-approved supplier of replacement OEM batteries for the MotoX? They also have a tailored toolkit and a step-by-step tutorial guide (note: read the comments for some very relevant oversights in the tutorial). Also, the youtube video by JerryRigEverything is still imminently useful for re-assembly; I highly recommend both tutorials.
