[Not recommended anymore!] [Update available!] 3000mAh battery mod [Lg g2 battery]

[234herobrine432]

WARNING this battery was produced a while ago, even if you get an new one, it's old because it was lying around a long time now (decreased capacity, phone turns off while still at about 20-40%) ---- And, the battery I described im this post was a fake one. Later I purchased a original one, but it had the same life in it like my old nexus 5 battery

I'm gonna open a new thread soon with an updated guide, and a new battery by another phone
There it is! https://forum.xda-developers.com/google-nexus-5/accessories/nexus-5x-battery-bl-t19-2700mah-battery-t3739848

Long life nexus5!

########################################################

below is the old guide, you have been warned, I really don't recommend it anymore

I bought a new Lg g2 battery from Amazon because my sot was really short. You guys know the problem with those too fat batterys, so I ordered one that seemed to be flat.

I got a thick one seen here http://tanstartrade.ca/images/LG%20BL-T7.jpg

Okay, I thought, well then i don't have wireless charging ans NFC

But when i removed the layer on the battery, this is what i found: http://imgur.com/a/XJyJm

Cool I thought, that's just a piece of plastic that can be removed. My battery is now flat as it should be and you can do the same, if you still rock a Nexus 5, love this phone so much!

There are a lot of tutorials And i think you can buy every battery you want, search on Amazon. I just found out that every battery is flat.

Sorry, but I am confused... It seems two different mods exists: 1. LG G2 FLAT battery, no hacks needed. 2. LG G2 standard battery, hacks needed.
Could anyone please cast light on the 1. mod? I mean, where to purchase this kind of battery and so on.

That was my problem, i think the flat ones are fake. The thick ones have this plastic shield in in, by whatever reason. I managed to buy a flat one and it didn't work, the battery had very bad voltage, my phone turned off at 60%

The thick one is genuine i think. You just have to remove the sticker and plastic.

Thanks for the info @234herobrine432 . So you think that if I buy this battery I will only have to peel the "bump" and the sticker and it *should* fit in my Nexus 5?

Yes! I think, technically it's not even possible to build a battery with that weird increase. And the "not fake" batteries fit better in the nexus 5 than the flat one I bought. You don't even have to dremel something.

 

[santi1993]

did you test dat? those are awesome news brother, does taht actually work? do you managed to remove that plastic?

do it for science please

I bought it

I bought the battery today. So, in a month more or less I could provide some news about it. I feel confident cutting and soldering battery connectors but I don't plan to use a dremel on my loved nexus 5 Hopefully this battery plus some kernel optimizations would improve substantially battery life. Going from 2.300 to 3.000mAh should suppose +30% increase!!!

What is showed about battery capacity when used apps like accubattery or similar @234herobrine432 ?

I've just bought one, hopefully it will be a good replacement for my old nexus original one!

How did you fit the larger G2 battery without using a dremel on the N5 frame ?

 

[gasgallo]

The battery I've got is actually unusable on a Nexus 5, it's large the same, it's thicker but you can actually make it flat, but it's anyway longer so it won't fit the phone without hardware workarounds!!

 

[234herobrine432]

You can folt the battery, so it will fit, but make sure you don't tear the thin foil (like me)

Yes i ****ed my battery up, it still works bc i used tape but it's not the best solution

I bought another battery on amazon for 13€
it will arrive maybe tomorrow (or later)

I will take pictures how i fold it and fit it into my device


If somebody wants to know: i had 4 hours of sot with heavy usage with the new battery, now it dropped to 2 because of the damage yeah liion doesn't like O²

Screenshots of the battery please !!

 

[arolust]

I just checked my "thick" one (bought by mistake before getting flat one), definitely not a plastic piece for my bump.

First off, it was super hard to get under the wrap, found out it was because mine didnt have an "extra" piece on top of the foil wrap for the battery, I had to open the foil itself to see the bump.

An exacto knife and, ofc, one spark later, I found the bump is actually layers of copper connected to the control board...

I feel yours was basically a flat battery with the plastic in to make it look like the non-flat ones.

Battery has a plastic easy to remove, as the post claimed. See the pictures at

Detaching external plastic the battery seems to be enough thin for the Nexus 5 case.
It had just arrived yesterday. I will try to do my best and talk about the length of the battery, my only concern right now.
I will keep posting.
Long life XDA!

People, please post pictures of your modding procedures !
Thanks !

Any updates on this mod, photos and measurements? id like to see how well the battery you had posted about works.

 

[234herobrine432]

Sorry guys for my late answer!
I have to apologize, the battery I ordered was fake, at least I now think that. My new battery is a real Oem one, so, it's thick and theres no way to remove this thickness

So I lost wireless charging and Nfc, and my phone is close to flat at the back (still a bit round) but I didn't have to grind anything, the battery board sits on the side, not on the top or botton, gonna upload some photos later here.

My Sot increased a lot, i now get 5h easy with a lot of usage (pdf file editing) bc i'm using it in University.

and the sot gets better and better because of callibration
(resettimg the battery stats file isn't all, obviously that's only a log file)

so yeah, when you don't need wireless charging, buy a battery for our lovely nexus 5, this phone is awesome!
