Defy+ Battery Compatibility

[Henebrado]

My Defy+ battery isn't charging anymore, even in other Defy, it only charges with an external wall charger, so I'm gonna buy another one.

In my country, the Defy (MB525) BF5X battery is a lot cheaper (less than the half price) than the Defy+ (MB526) HF5X battery.

The question is: The Defy (MB525) BF5X battery is fully compatible with Defy+? I can use it without any problems?


Note: I'm using the WIUI GB v2.9.27 (GB Kernel).

Thanks!

note: bf5x and hf5x differs in battery chemistry and the top charge voltage slightly different (hf5x higher), so if you use hf5x on mb525 rom the battery won't full charge, but if reverse, theoretically can be dangerous(???), not 100% sure but overcharging lithium rechargeables is dangerous, tight voltage limit...

Hi there.
I hope is not too late - last post was in November.

I've tried a new BF5X battery with my DEFY+ (MB526) but it causes bootloops or shudden shutdown when it asks to enter the sim pin.
I've also tried with and old one from a used MB525 and it worked without any problem... What can I say...

I should advice you to buy the HF5X, even if it's more expensive, for sure compatibility.
