Andida 1980mAh Extended Battery Review

---

I've been testing the Andida 1980mAh battery that I ordered from Obostore (very fast shipping in 5 days, surprisingly). I am on pure stock, no custom roms or kernels.

In short, I'm not impressed. I've consistently only been able to get an extra 1 hour or so from the battery vs. the OEM LG battery, but have been experiencing many reboots/freezes with the Andida. Prior to using the Andida, I'd never gotten any reboots or freezes on my phone, yet the very first time I used it, the phone rebooted after 5 minutes. From then on, every few days, I would get a reboot or a total freeze during normal usage of my phone.

Thankfully, after returning to the OEM battery, these problems have not persisted. These results have been gathered from a testing period of 2 weeks, 1 week using the Andida and 1 using the OEM battery. My suspicion is that the voltage on the battery is somehow causing these problems, though I admit that I'm no expert or engineer.

Hopefully this information helps anyone hoping to buy the Andida. I would recommend it only as a very cheap, last-ditch tool for some extra hours of usage. By no means will this battery serve for long term, stable use (at least in my case).

I have the same battery running unrooted and stock LG OS. I get about an hour and a half more out of my phone but I have not had any of the issues with reboots that you have had. The battery has been great for me.

I also have this battery, and I have never had a reboot while using it. I have had rebooted with the stock battery though lol

I get about 1 hour more of battery life

if you look at the run times that the manufacturer give you you only get like 1-2 more hours anyway its not going to be a huge improvement. its the biggest battery they can stuff in there without ruining the lines on the phone

Just ordered one, an extra hour or two is good enough for me. Plus I can carry the OEM for a spare.

Hello Everybody

i am also looking to buy this battery.
Please post your recent findings about the battery.

When any one of you say 1 or 2 hour, it´s using the cellphone or in stand-by?
