Battery suggestion

[chickenpotpie]

I bought a supposedly genuine battery off of Ebay that turned out to be a total bust. It doesn't fit well either as I can feel it shifting inside the phone. :crying:
Does anyone have any suggestions on good OPO 2 replacement batteries?

I actually bought 2 different ones (one from ebay and one from a different site). Both of which turned out to be bad. They worked but they lasted less than the original one. I ended up going back to the original. If yours' is tottaly dead, I suggest you just stick with whatever you've got and don't waste more money.

Because if you already knew, oneplus doesn't sell any replacement parts through their store, they only do repairs (which are expensive afaik)

Damn, guess I'll have to go back to the old one. I might try Amazon and see if they're better than ebay.

Thinking after 2 years it's time for a battery replacement, I ordered as well recently from Ebay waiting it to be delivered but not keeping my hopes high. I let you guys know if it turns out OK.

Edit: It's terrible. Overheats and charges really slow etc. Went back to the stock. Ordered another one. Will update.
Edit 2: Back again to stock.

same here guys.. got the phone for 20 months now and in winter I got huge battery drops....I'm just calling/email and the battery won't last for more then 8 hrs... this is crazy...

same here, bought two on ebay, both worse than the original.

Asked support where to get a original replacement, but they wouldn't tell, but offered to do the replacement for around 40 Euros. It took almost 5 weeks though, so if you have a spare phone, I'd advise to do the same, instead of trying to find a decent replacement somewhere....

Hi everyone, reviving this thread as the older our beloved op2 gets the more and more of us will be in a need of a replacement battery.
Now, did anyone have any luck finding an oem battery replacement somewhere else than OP support?
All the "originals" on eBay seem to be garbage.

Where to buy good battery? Anyone bought recently & is satisfied with the product?

before you start getting stuff from ebay and other questionable sources, ask OP how much will it cost you for THEM to replace it.
in my case, they are asking for 33 euros which is actually not bad at all. as a matter of facts, i am actually sending mine out for repair tomorrow. sure, i will have to live without my OP for like 2 weeks, but there is a guarantee i will get an original battery.
rule of a thumb - "original" batteries from ebay are ****

I agree. Charged the same. Like you said, will give it to service Centre.

Hi all, so I've bought one on ebay for like 15$ with tools set and so far so good, on one charge got like 1,5 - 2 days - average usage (calls, emails, toilet gaming) , but charging time is longer i think... keywords for ebay "Original NEW Battery BLP597 For OnePlus Two 2 With Nice Tools 3200mAh 3.8V"

I'm using it for 3rd week now...

I recently had my battery replaced by OP.
RMA created in the weekend.
Package shipped out on Tuesday evening (through UPS).
Delivered at the repair center on Wednesday, repair quote received (and paid) in the evening.
Repaired on Thursday morning and dispatched later that day.
Received back in my possession (UPS delivered) on Friday.
Sure, it was wiped, bootloader locked and flashed with OOS 3.6.1. but that was expected.
I have absolutely no reason to complain and I hereby officially regret all my previous attempts to get a "new" battery from ebay or other questionable sources for which I wasted more money than OP asked for: 33 EUR.
New battery immediately increased the SOT by 1 hour and i no longer face the issue i faced before which was: whenever the battery dropped to 30% i knew i had no more than half an hour left until the phone died.
So, if you need a new battery, save yourself the time and money and do it the same way. I would certainly recommend this to all european customers, like me.

Hello, can you please install "accubatery" app from playstore and charge your phone from 1-100% without using it? It will show you a real estimate of your battery capacity. Post screenshots afterwards, I will buy that battery for sure if its close to an original new one. Thank you!

 

[mincaeuro]

Hi, will install it, but not sure about the 0-100% as I need the phone for daily use..maybe during weekend

Thank you, the 0-100% is not that important, the bigger fraction of charge the better, you can install it now and it will measure your battery over time, the more charge sessions of over 20% the more accurate results it gives.

Hi so I've done it yesterday. See screenshots attached.

That's actually very nice score, looks like a real oem battery or a very close one. New original. Batteries show around 90%-93% with that app. Buying one, thankyou.

Maybe this has been asked elsewhere... but facing the fact that mostly our only option here is 3rd party batteries... has anyone tried one of the two (or more?) Chinese 3800mAh batteries? One is called an HSABAT (maybe the company) and the other a Da Da Xiong.

Here's the HSABAT "New 3800mAh BLP597 Battery" (I am not recommending or dissing this! Just interested if someone's tried it!):
https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/HSABAT-N...Oneplus-2-One-Plus-Two-Battery-p/202269516963

And here's the Da Da Xiong 3800mAh BLP597 Battery:
https://www.dhgate.com/store/product/da-da-xiong-3800mah-blp597-battery-for-oneplus/399378631.html

AGAIN... neither of these have been tested by me. I am wanting input from anyone who has tested them. I know we sometimes have opinions re China, many of those opinions bogus, but folks our phones were made there. So maybe these are good. And maybe they are a joke. I hope for input from someone who's tried 'em.
