MI4C Battery Replacement: Where to buy?

[Gourcuff14]

I got this one. Not good.

Initially this battery was draining faster than a charge rate. It has now woken to a state of just standby use. The old original which was blown performed better. I cannot game with this new one, the game closes. Web browsing sites like twitter closes the browser. YouTube drains the battery. There is no power on this new battery.

I hope that my experience installing a BM35 battery in a MI4c phone will help other people not making the same handling mistake as I have made and also would add the Green Cell BM35 battery to the list of good batteries.

I can confirm that green-cell looks like a really good battery.

Bought it on amazon.it for 11 euro or so, 2 day to have it delivered.

Temperature monitor works as expected (unlike other scam batteries which are stuck at 29 degrees)

Measured capacity varies between 2980 to 3120mAh. which is likely better than the original battery when new.

Fast charge is ok w/o overheating (starts at 1850mA ends around 900mA)

Before this I used an "original" replacement battery bought on ebay that was awful and the original one was crap as well.

Now I just hope that this green cell will age nicely w/o dying after 3 months or so.

But as we say in my country "you notice the good day from the morning" and here the morning looks bright.

Hi,

After about 1 year later I'm still using the same green-cell battery and I think it's working pretty fine. See screenshot in the attachment.

Thanks a lot for confirming my initial feeling (and my hope ).

Perhaps, did you use the charging limit feature of Accubattery or you let to charge to 100% ?

At beginning I was using this limit feature because I read interesting technical stuff saying this would prolong the battery life. But, I must admit that after just a few weeks I disabled that limit and just charge when I can or think about it, whenever over slow usb from PC or from a fast charging power socket. Sometimes until full (100%) and sometime not because I had to use the phone before reaching 100%... Actually the battery works pretty good (for my phone usage) still after one year. This battery doesn't costs that much, so I would not bother with that. If, in some months I still use this phone (what I hope because it's one of the last phone with that size...) I would just buy a new battery (most probably the same one).

Thanks for your info.

After the initial "burning" days I can confirm what are you reporting. The battery after many charging cycles is still exactly like the first day, I'm confident it will continue this way.
