Bought the 4500mah TOTHL slim battery. Will review here if anyone interested

[Wolverine1]

Bought it from eBay for around $17. My SOT is so bad, around 2:30 even after rooting, cloudy, wakelock and amplify. If I should do any kind test let me know.

I am LG G3 AT&T variant, unlocked.

Bigger capacity batteries can not be slim ,is all the people gonna say, even some cheap and bigger,size bigger capacity doesn't have bigger capacity.

GSM battery says it is 489mah http://m.imgur.com/sq7Kuks
I will calibrate the battery. Full charge now and drain it 3 times. I have not factory reset after installing cloudy. I will do that if the battery still drains. Someone suggested that in another thread.

Edit:2
Got two different kind capacity reading:

You never win with cheap batteries. They might work okay for a few months but then start degrading rapidly, also I would bet money the battery isn't really 4,500mah. But for $17 you're not losing much.

You are right.

Only got SOT 1h 36ms since ast night and battery is already down to 31%. I have to calibrate my battery https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.nema.batterycalibration&hl=en I am draining my battery and changing it to 100%, calibrating with this app.

I have the same SOT in the same configuration. Its the ROM I guess. Other kernels didnt do any better. Learn to live with it (like I did ) if you like the rom.

They could explode, heat up and melt, leak and release toxic/harmful liquid/gas, destroy your phone, ... or just be cheap reskinned batterys that cost you $17

But if they're cheap reskinned batteries they're going to net you crappy battery life which was my original point, there's no winning haha.

Is there a reputable brand that WILL work in an ideal way, then? If we're not trusting this one?

Any updates on this? Mine just arrived home, I don't know if it is 4500mah, but it weights more. Anyway, if the worst scenario, it would be like an stock battery for only 18$ xD
