3300mah Battery Replacement?

aumkarpraja · Aug 19, 2014

I've been noticing these batteries for the M8 wandering around on a couple of websites. Any ideas what's going on here?

First is most interesting as it appears to be HTC branded and quotes OEM. The M8 battery as I understood it was only 2600Mah so kind of curious if this is an HTC part for the M8 why it's a larger capacity at 3300Mah?

What gets me thinking more is whether this could explain why some get really good battery life and others can't get anywhere near that. Perhaps different variations have different sized batteries??

Edit: This is the original battery:

B0P6B100. The one from Wireless Ground is B0P3P100:

Maybe it's for the new One M8 Max

The aliexpress link says it's for HTC m8 one max so I doubt it's meant for our phone

Nothing is non-removable. It's just not end user removable (least not easily).

Yet the first link plus the YouTube video clearly says it's for the M8.

Ignore the second link for now. The first link still lists it as if it were for the M8 which is weird..

I've been looking at these batteries too.....I cant get any clear info about whather or not they fit in the m8. My suspicion is that the battery is actually meant for the MAX and it is mislabeled, but if anyone knows differently please correct me. I would throw one of these in my m8 in a heartbeat!

Its not for the m8.

alwin006 · Oct 31, 2014

This is just a regular HTC One Max battery

thats my only gripe with the m8. the dodgy battery life. hopefully the m9 fixes this along with android L.

You might have a reception issue, or some runaway processes or apps.

7 hours of screen time is pretty normal for this phone, and very reasonable for a current smartphone.

Is there a larger capacity battery available? It was my only hesitation when buying the phone as after a year the battery always needs replacing and wasn't sure how much it would cost/how difficult it would be?

You can't get more capacity without more volume. Anyone that says otherwise is ignorant, a liar,or is discussing a prototype battery chemistry. Good luck fitting a larger battery.

So you've bumped a three year old thread to add nothing to it.

That is true, however as you might've noticed this 3300mAh battery is for HTC One Max and will not fit in M8.

Some users have reported that M8s and M9 battery (both 2840mAh) fit inside M8 and work properly. The difference in battery life is unnoticeable though.

I have seen 3300mAh batteries lurking in AliExpress and even bought one for myself since my battery had issues. The battery eventhough boasts a 3300mAh, I think it only has 2600mAh because I didn't notice any change in the battery life. But the product is working as expected.

Here's the link to the battery which I bought.

edge540T · Feb 24, 2018

Ok, there are fake batteries all around, so 2600-2840 max, but I know for other htc devices the batteries which looks original as the pic below used to be fake too, anyone reliable?
