Correct method to install/calibrate new battery?

[resarfekim]

I just received my new batteries from Amazon.
http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00Q4NQQA0?psc=1&redirect=true&ref_=oh_aui_detailpage_o00_s00

I charged it up in the external charger until it indicated full. When I installed it and booted, it said 91%. I ran it down to about 15%, then plugged the phone into the charger. Now it only goes up to 86%.

When I first swapped the battery, I held the power button for about 30 seconds then installed the battery (as recommended when flashing TX's Note port).

Is there a proper way to calibrate a new battery? Might I just have a defective one?

Thanks for any advice,
Mike

I recommend pulling it off the travel charger and putting it right back on. If the light changes within a minute it was full. If not... It wasn't. You can do the battery calibrate app but your phone will figure it out on its own.

My best advice is to toss your old battery and only use the 2 new matched batteries. The phone will have errors in battery percentage if it is calibrating batteries that have different discharge rates due to age/size.

In a perfect world only charge them on the travel charger
Put it back on to make sure it's 100.
Discharge to 0 or the point the phone shuts down every time as well

A few days and your phone will display correctly

The new MM has the option to turn off the fast charging, can't he just turn this off instead of trashing his charger?

Yeah. I wish we all had that option. I know some you have to plug in the fast charger to access the setting to turn it off.
