Can anyone recommend a spare battery which is of the same quality as the original battery? I have tried several batteries from aliexpress etc., but none of them is really good.
[Lenovo ZUK Z2 (Plus) Accessories] flel:
You guys still use the original battery?
[Lenovo ZUK Z2 (Plus) Accessories] Mattia46old:
I tried, also as you did, to replace the battery finding one on aliexpress at the cost of 9 USD. Battery capacity was near the original one (80%), and I had to come back on the original, because the newer makes me feel the system more laggy. So, unless you don't want to spend 40 $ to buy a verified battery for the zuk, is really difficult to find something that seems to be like the original. Worth it?

Don't know, i'm on mine, with 8 hrs of usage & barely 2 hrs of SOT. Waiting to change it ASAP. In conclusion, i'm really frustrated, 'cause i love this SD820 Adreno 530 5" smartphone, but it has to die.
[Lenovo ZUK Z2 (Plus) Accessories] pipyakas:
How do one even begin to measure the capacity of a replacement battery? Im still using the original battery and yeah, at max I can get a little more than 3h sot out of my phone after 2 years of usage. Do something resource intensive and I'm looking at 2h or less

Still, I'm kinda used to this kind of weak battery life before and can still get by, plus looking and replacing the battery is a bit of a pain so I'm not replacing it yet
[Lenovo ZUK Z2 (Plus) Accessories] flel:
Frankly, I'd rather spend 40 USD than buying a new phone. Could you share a link to a verified battery?
[Lenovo ZUK Z2 (Plus) Accessories] Nordicus:

I have recently bought this battery, and after a few days seams really good
[Lenovo ZUK Z2 (Plus) Accessories] Mattia46old:
Bought me too from Ali. Waiting for it. Hoping it's going to be good.

Please comment about the battery sir. Really in need of a good replacement!

Thanks

Here's another one that was recommended - goo.gl/bq9rKS
[Lenovo ZUK Z2 (Plus) Accessories] mGforCe:
Wow.. this one is some 30 Euro battery!

https://electropapa.com/en/li-polym...-phone-smartphone-phone-replaces-lenovo-bl268

Recommended where - 4PDA ?

Thanks for sharing link. Are there other options too suggested/reported by users?

Thanks for feedback, pls share after few more days of usage.

Aliexpress reviews are also good with many sharing Accubattery stats with battery capacity > 3500 mAh like you shared too.
[Lenovo ZUK Z2 (Plus) Accessories] bordi21:
The battery is very good, still shows 105% battery life in accu battery, about 5-7 hours of SOT without gaming and sim card. It's a secondary device.
[Lenovo ZUK Z2 (Plus) Accessories] mGforCe:
Thanks for swift feedback. Can you pls check, next time when you use phone if there are sudden discharge or extremely fast charge?
[Lenovo ZUK Z2 (Plus) Accessories] O'daniel:
I recently purchased a new battery from lenovo service center for Rs. 1320 (18 $) as the seller on aliexpress(Lehehe) wasn't shipping to India and the one's available on amazon didn't seem very good .

I just called the lenovo service nearest to my place and got the new battery in just 1hr. Just mentioning it as another alternative for you guys. Its only been a day but I've added the Ss.
[Lenovo ZUK Z2 (Plus) Accessories] bordi21:
There are no sudden discharges, as of charging I don't think.
[Lenovo ZUK Z2 (Plus) Accessories] Nordicus:
Feedback about the other lots are not very good.

Just for example - screenshot (rus) - http://cs5-2.4pda.to/15206744.png

:cool:
[Lenovo ZUK Z2 (Plus) Accessories] bhushan2k:
Is it original battery? How about the warranty? Can you please ss of battery or the cover of battery?
[Lenovo ZUK Z2 (Plus) Accessories] mGforCe:
Thanks for this feedback, this includes cost of putting new battery etc too? Any warranty?

I checked too and seems that batteries are no longer shipped to India from China. For my Redmi Note 3 I see same issue - can't be shipped :confused::(
[Lenovo ZUK Z2 (Plus) Accessories] mGforCe:
Good, that's reassuring

Ah, ok.
[Lenovo ZUK Z2 (Plus) Accessories] O'daniel:
It has 1 month warranty and I didn't ask them about the cover of the battery, I just assumed the company wouldn't ship batteries with a sperate cover. Anyway, it's working pretty well and I haven't had any problems with it. I'm getting around 4-5hrs of sot on Jaguar Oreo with moderate to heavy use (pubg). Its far better than buying the one's available on amazon. Just google " lenovo service center "it'll show all the stores in your city and you can call them asking if the battery is available ( I got it from the first store I called ? )
[Lenovo ZUK Z2 (Plus) Accessories] O'daniel:
Yep, it includes the cost of putting the new battery in and it has 1 month warranty.

It is ridiculous that they're not shipping to India while they're still shipping to the USA, we're right below them for god sakes (not that I care now ? )
[Lenovo ZUK Z2 (Plus) Accessories] Diesen_Dev:
After 2 years of active usage my original battery is 98%-99% of designed capacity.
[Lenovo ZUK Z2 (Plus) Accessories] Mattia46old:
Just arrived, replaced. I will wait 3 cycles of battery charging and discharging and I'll post the screen from accubattery app.
[Lenovo ZUK Z2 (Plus) Accessories] Mattia46old:
In order to follow the link of Nordicus (find it in the page 1) I'm posting the screen of my new battery after two days of usage.

Just two/three things:

1) I've never let the battery run completely out. The cycles of accubattery are very low. Never went under 18%. So i don't know if the 94% of capacity is strictly related to a no full recharge. But is always the best i got so far!

2) I will probably upload a screen of accu, when the cycles will be more.

3) With old battery I barely reached the 2.30h of SOT on 8 hours after last recharge. And, last but not least, sometimes the smartphone, at 20% or 10%

suddenly used to die.

4) no info on long term life (obv)

That's it. Absolutely satisfied

PS: I'm running AEX 4.6 with heliox15.10 kernel
[Lenovo ZUK Z2 (Plus) Accessories] Mattia46old:
Updates after a few recharge cycles:
[Lenovo ZUK Z2 (Plus) Accessories] guilhermebaca:
Thnaks for the feedback!
[Lenovo ZUK Z2 (Plus) Accessories] emanuele252:
Can you give us more feedback after few month of use? Have you notice changes in battery performance?
[Lenovo ZUK Z2 (Plus) Accessories] Mattia46old:
Since the switching from aex 4.6 to arrowOS 9 pie, I've lost all the datas stored in accubattery. But i have some recent screen about lightweight use of the smartphone and the battery is behaving pretty well, even though I dunno if it has lost battery capacity
[Lenovo ZUK Z2 (Plus) Accessories] tjxda:
I checked my local Lenovo service centre in May and they quoting 2800Rs for battery replacement. Don't understand how they Increased there prices. Which centre you have done replacement?
[Lenovo ZUK Z2 (Plus) Accessories] CraftyShafty:
Battery Performance

Anyone here who bought the Da Xiong battery for Zuk Z2 from Aliexpress?

Can you give some feedback on the capacity of the Da Xiong battery using Accubattery or something?
[Lenovo ZUK Z2 (Plus) Accessories] Riccardo99:
Is the Lehehe battery (the one you find on AliExspress) reliable? I mean is there any risk of exploding?

I would also know something about that battery's performances compared to the original one.
[Lenovo ZUK Z2 (Plus) Accessories] sodacrusher:
Hey would you not mind telling me what you did after installation of new battery? Like charged it in a particular way, you know like how you calibrate your battery.
[Lenovo ZUK Z2 (Plus) Accessories] Mattia46old:
Completely discharged and fully recarghed just one time. Successively just charged as much as I needed
[Lenovo ZUK Z2 (Plus) Accessories] mGforCe:
Dear [MENTION=8925229]Mattia46old[/MENTION] [MENTION=4567260]bordi21[/MENTION] [MENTION=8899768]O'daniel[/MENTION] and all thos who replaced their Zuk Z2 Plus batteries : have a query to ask.

As what point of time of battery's health did you replace it? I used Accubattery for few charge / discharge cycle and it shows my battery health at 88% (3071 vs 3500). My phone is exactly 2 year old.

Is this right time to change or should hold on further? I was expecting poorer health as fell that discharges is faster. I am using ViperOS N for long.

Look for feedback before I get the battery replaced officially. Thanks
[Lenovo ZUK Z2 (Plus) Accessories] O'daniel:
Depends if your having problems with the battery. For me, first my phone started depleting really quickly and in a few weeks it would restart whenever I played any heavy games and a few days after that it would restart even if I make a call, so I had no choice. And no, its wasn't a ROM issue. I checked with accubattery and my estimated battery was 2500.

You should change it if you feel like you're not getting enough sot its not that expensive.

Added stats of my current battery.
[Lenovo ZUK Z2 (Plus) Accessories] bordi21:
I replace the battery because my phone was entering kernel panic randomly and when the cpu load was high. I don't know the exact battery health reported by accubattery.
[Lenovo ZUK Z2 (Plus) Accessories] Mattia46old:
Dear mGforCe, glad to answer!

When I replaced it, my battery life, according to AccuBattery analysis, was at the 66% of life. Nevertheless, the main problem was related to the sudden shut down of the smartphone under 20%. As you can imagine, I had to replace it, otherwise it would have become unbearable.

So, for me the 88% still is, considering the 2 years old, a good percentage. So let it go under 85/80 % and then think about to replace it.

At most you can already buy a battery for 10 dollars (be aware on aliexpress, a lot of fakes) and then, when the time has come, you'll be ready.
[Lenovo ZUK Z2 (Plus) Accessories] niyonsv:
I just replaced the battery with a new genuine Lenovo one from the Lenovo service center. The heating up of the phone still remains the same even after replacing. In the lock screen it is showing somewhere between 700-1200 mA charging speed. The next thing I am gonna do is to flash the stock ROM. Don't know if that can help. Now my Z2 is on AEX 6.5 .

[Lenovo ZUK Z2 (Plus) Accessories] Mattia46old:
The latest good AEX is the 4.6. Get rid of it ASAP. I'm running ArrowOS May version + nameless r29. No heat or weird warm. Perfect consumption of battery juice. This night I left the phone powered on and as you can see no strange drain. Good luck
[Lenovo ZUK Z2 (Plus) Accessories] mGforCe:
Thanks [MENTION=4567260]bordi21[/MENTION] [MENTION=8899768]O'daniel[/MENTION] [MENTION=8925229]Mattia46old[/MENTION] for your feedbacks.

Yesterday, got my phone's battery replaced at an authorized Lenovo Service Centre. And I could immediately see a jump in performance. Heading with 4G & GPS remains there. But now with this issue sorted will go for new ROMs.
[Lenovo ZUK Z2 (Plus) Accessories] wajidpariyani10:
My phone is 1.5 years old. AccuBattery shows 2950mah. Should I get it replaced? I get around 4hrs sot on normal usage. How much sot did u used to get with your old battery and what about now ? And for how much money did u get the battery replaced?
[Lenovo ZUK Z2 (Plus) Accessories] mGforCe:
Sorry buddy was never into SOT - my focus was more about how long battery lasts after charge. Typically use 4G/Wifi full day with sync on for whatsapp/gmail and multiple apps.

I got it for Rs 1355 (INR)
[Lenovo ZUK Z2 (Plus) Accessories] selvarajrajkanna:
Just battery or including service?
[Lenovo ZUK Z2 (Plus) Accessories] P650SE:
I've had my ZUK Z2 since 2016 and it is showing as 2,700mAh capacity in AccuBattery. Maybe time for a replacement because I intend on keeping this phone for at least another 6 months.

It seems the Lehehe battery on AliExpress is regarded as the best choice for Z2 Plus? I noticed there are also some 'genuine' ZUK branded batteries on there (identical to the original) but they don't have as good reviews in comparison.
[Lenovo ZUK Z2 (Plus) Accessories] STARK0711:
I have one from service center itself and i can say it's original becuse after couple of montha it still shows capacity as 100%
[Lenovo ZUK Z2 (Plus) Accessories] sodacrusher:
I'm going to change my battery today and I had one last query, should I charge it fully and then discharge it and again charge it fully? Asking again just to be on the safe side.

P. S: I don't want to mess up
[Lenovo ZUK Z2 (Plus) Accessories] selvarajrajkanna:
What happened?
[Lenovo ZUK Z2 (Plus) Accessories] sodacrusher:
Got the battery today. I'm completely discharging from the current percentage i.e 44% and will full charge later. Will tell the results later.
[Lenovo ZUK Z2 (Plus) Accessories] O'daniel:
Buddy, that's a myth. lithium ion batteries don't need to be discharged completely and then charged to max. That was something you'd do for nickel based batteries in the 90s.

Here look it up-

Thank you for clarifying that for me but I already did it. I did because someone did it. Now what's done is done.

The first time I went there they told me the price was 2400 rupees but the next day the others person said 2200. I don't think the price is 2400, I think that they made up the price or something.
[Lenovo ZUK Z2 (Plus) Accessories] sodacrusher:
Here are the battery stats. IDK if they are of any help. As you can see I came home and charged my phone again. I go to college so my usage is totally different from that of yours, so please don't ask me why 7hrs sot. I may upload photo of a whole day usage of my phone but that may be unlikely.
[Lenovo ZUK Z2 (Plus) Accessories] Mattia46old:
Even though is useless for the battery itself could be useful for the software recalibration. Sometimes the old battery mess all up.

Wzvv 4200 mAh

It would be awesome running battery with 4000mah +. I tried to ask the sellers but i didnt get a response about the real capacity.
[Lenovo ZUK Z2 (Plus) Accessories] wajidpariyani10:
I ordered this one. The lehehe one which earlier didn't shipped to India. I hope it ships to me.

[Lenovo ZUK Z2 (Plus) Accessories] P650SE:
Picture I found on AliExpress of the Lehehe battery. It's claimed as 3,500mAh capacity, but underneath the wrapper you can clearly see it is actually rated as 3,000mAh. :(

Edit: Also, I wouldn't advise anyone purchases a battery with a capacity claimed over 4,000mAh. These are obviously fake and probably have worse performance as the original.
[Lenovo ZUK Z2 (Plus) Accessories] LancerIX:
That's bad. But apparently even after knowing this, it's the only replacement brand that offers decent quality.

All other brands are hit or miss. I need to buy one for me, and wanted to buy lehehe, but the seller isn't sending for my country anymore.

Do anyone has tested other brands?

Da da xiong

10 days old Da da xiong battery. Works well but has small capacity. Only 2200mAh, though it claims to have 4800mAh ?
[Lenovo ZUK Z2 (Plus) Accessories] LancerIX:
That is the biggest problem. The ones that are branded as Lenovo or Zuk fail quickly, and the others have very low capacity.

I was thinking about buying from Taobao using a agent like Yoybuy, but the shipping is too expensive, about U$30 to my country.
[Lenovo ZUK Z2 (Plus) Accessories] JnthnGE:

But it's not bad at all, accubattery life shows it's still at 3.124mah. My original battery ran for just 2 years before death.

Where else can I get a Lehehe or, even better, a genuine original Lenovo battery? Even willing to pay a finders fee to one of you Indian blokes to ship me one of the genuine ones you can get from the Lenovo service centres there!

After my fourth battery replacement I think I finally got a good one.

h t t p s://cntronic.com/new-original-lehehe-battery-bl268-for-lenovo-zuk-z2-3500mah-mobile-phone-replacement-high-quality-battery-with-tools-gifts-19026

It wasn't actually lehehe but seems like the original one. I mean the outside quality and the info printing on the battery. Also in accubattery it measures 3412 mAh

(after 29 months of intense use, my stock battery passed away)

My first replacement swelled within two weeks. 8$

My second was a dadaxiong of pretty good quality but had only 2100mAh available, as I result I charged my zuk four times a day. 20$ My third one was from electropapa-Germany. Really low quality and only 1900mAh, I didnt even used it. 25$

My fourth one was from cntronic 25$
[Lenovo ZUK Z2 (Plus) Accessories] Checkmate u:
Cheap Replacement!

Got a battery replacement for INR 450 ~ $6 from a local shop near me. Giving me more than 4hrs of SOT with normal to heavy usage ( no gaming).

In Accubattery it shows 2600 mAh capacity!

I think it is good for its price as I have a contacted a offical service center they said it would cost me INR 1850 ~ $25 and 6 months warranty!

Only downside is that it does not have any warranty and also no temperature sensor on it as it always shows 25°C.

And I am on AEX 6.3
