Cheap 6000 mAh extended battery. It can worth it's price?

[Berecz]

Hello!
My S4 Mini's (LTE) battery isn't really good and I would like to buy a bigger replacement.
I've found this https://m.aliexpress.com/item/32670956124.html but it doesn't really convincing, but it's very cheap.
Yes I know about NFC cheap, but I don't use NFC.

What do you think? Could I buy it? Or it doesn't worth that money?

Your money, your rules.
I would say yes

I've bought one. Inside there are 2 stacked cells that are slightly smaller than the original battery. The actual capacity would be around 1.8x the original. The other problem is that you need to make a change in the battery management driver source code and recompile the kernel to reflect the increased battery size to have an accurate battery gauge. (search the xda forums for the thread) Other wise the phone will report 0% and shutdown when in fact the battery is half full. You can switch it on again and it will report around 50% but again it will shut down when the battery is still has a quarter charge in it.

I have the recompiled kernel for 12.1-20151117 for the serranoltexx as a .zip you can patch in recovery if you would like it.

I bought lots of stuff at aliexpress. They always deliver.. Until now. lol.
I also bought some high capacity battery's for my old s2 plus.
Although the capacity they say will not be reached, it is still a good battery in most cases.
Check the reviews on the site, loads of people comment and if the battery is crap you'll know fast enough.

Hi,
just to share with you, I bought similar one from dx.com SKU: 252144
advertised: 6300 (Actual 5500) mAh

Mesured it with RC models li-on charger, twice...
safe conditions 500mA charge/100mA discharge and acctual capacity is far from declared and around 2900mAh

Just skip it.
