Default 1930mAh battery

Can I use a 4.2v battery in my X8? The current battery is 3.7v and I believe the phone charges using 4.2v.
It would be a great find as this battery is 1930mAh and it is the same size as the original unlike the other battery on the market that requires an adapted case.

My advice, don't buy it. It is a fake that is nowhere close to 1930mAh.

saw the battery with 1500 mAh with little bigger size.
But with 4.2v - it may works.

I've heard that unofficial batteries can explode, melt or not work at all.

Much better if you use original batteries, bec different batteries have different specs (or output current) which might have bad effects on your phone when you use it.

Default I have it !

I have this battery only for two days. But now I think this "gold 1930mAh battery is better than original. It is my subjective impress. But time of standby on battery is about 30hours and level of battery is 19% now.

usage of battery :

about 3-4 min phoning
about 2hours of playing music in ear phones
3G or EDGE was on all time - gmail
about 15 min surfing
about 5 min in facebook app
about 20 sms - all via internet ( application )

I THING - you cant do this with orig battery.
I will test phone and i will tell you my experience.
But now I can say - it was good deal for me !!!

X8 is a good mobile of Sony Ericcson and my Advice for you if you want to buy this mobile the buy its original parts otherwise don,t buy because i have use it so many times but it was not original so therefore its battery timing was bad .
