Trying this weird M-COM brand Battery, Claims to have 5000 mAH

[Yovan182]

So, I just bought this battery
Probably you guys haven't seen brand like this before
M-COM (Claims to be 5000 mAH in capacity)
Surprisingly this battery have temperature sensor.
I see lot of you guys having problem with battery replacement with built in temperature sensor in other thread.

Bought it for IDR 90.000 (6,5 USD) from local online shop.



Well here goes nothing.

I crack open my angler and recognizes that this battery cable is shorter about 1mm, but it's a no problem for me, just pull a little bit force an viola.
(btw metrics are different here)

It booted up so I try downloading Accu Battery app.

Been using this battery for 3 hours for now, I charge this fella up for a little time and got 4% for 140-160 mAH



Here is my rough calculation



Estimated real battery capacity
3800-4300 mAH instead 5000 mAH

I'll keep you guys updated when Accu Battery done it's job

 

[Abzstrak]

Any update?

 

[Yovan182]

Any update?

Turns out pretty legit.
Currently showing 3100 mAH

With 4-5 hour SoT (mostly watching youtube)

You mind posting a part number? It's about that time on mine, and this seems as good an option as any.

I don't think it have one, i looked both battery and package only seeing plain and branding, sorry.

There's barcode actually (8547182249565)
I heard that barcode are unique to a product but, i couldn't find its use (google won't show anything) rather than pointlessly scanning at them.

That's about right. Thanks for looking.

Hi just curious to know how is it going?

 

[JPREMEEE]

No added thickness? how is it performing?

No thickness added, performs good.
No issue at all. except I forgot to mention that the unit is a bit shorter, enough to make a wiggle inside if you don't stick an adhesive in there so i wedge a folded paper at the bottom of battery slot to keep the battery in place.

It's good, now showing stable 3200 mAh.

You swapped the battery out yourself, I'm guessing?

 

[TaZeR369]

How difficult is it to do yourself? I heard its easy to crack the camera lens and break a few other parts while doing this and not being an expert, would it be impossible for a first timer? Would I need any other special tools besides pry tool? My N6P battery experience has been terrible.

It is pretty easy to crack the camera lens, so it's highly recommended to buy a spare camera lens part in case the old one breaks. I'm going to be replacing both the battery AND the entire back metal frame soon. Here's a video that demonstrates how to replace both: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UetgEdh7mDc

I just replaced my battery and I would recommend getting an X-acto knife and a heat gun. The heat gun helps soften the glue to make it easier to remove everything and the X-acto knife I used to pry everything apart. It took me about 30 minutes to replace the battery.

Yeah a heat gun would make the disassembly much more easier. Luckily I work at this phone booth (for installing screen protectors) and we have a heat gun there. I'm probably gonna do the whole installation at my workplace, we don't get much customers anyways lol.

Hi, BTW this is my 1st post here


Could you please try testing with "Ampere"?
PlayStore: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.gombosdev.ampere&hl=en_US


I've used both AccuBattery and Ampere. On my Nexus 6p with original OEM battery it displays:
Max Capaity: 3450 mAh
Estimate Life: 70%

Currently running:
Pixelboot's Lineage 17 with the 4 Core Boot image in hopes that disabling the "4 Big Cores" (ARM Cortex-A57) should help battery life but based on my testing it doesn't help and in fact seems that battery drains faster

TESTING:
Ampere - Power while Idle: min: -220 mA to max: -370 mA
Ampere - Power playing Video: min: -600 mA to max - 910 mA (Only 2 apps open)
Ampere - Power switching Apps: min: -600 mA to max - 1120 mA

To put in perspective,
Battery loss down 1% for every 1 minute
Undoubtedly I need to replace my battery

With all those extra things to buy I'm not sure its worth it at this point as the phone with working parts can be found for $100-150 these days, I'll probably put any cash I've saved twords a future model and leave this as a sort of tablet use with a charge cable handy.

Um well that's basically what my 6P is lol. It's a used 6P that I bought for $90, and am looking to replace its faulty battery and damaged back. In fact, I just did the replacement yesterday. The parts required is not a big deal, it's the disassembly that's a huge pain.

The camera visor and plastic bottom were fairly easy to remove with the heat gun, but the metal cover took a fair bit of struggle to get it off, and in the end it damaged a bit of the display's plastic rim. The hardest part was removing the battery, which was absolutely hell. The battery adhesive is literally glued shut onto the frame, and it takes a lot of force and pressure to get it out. And the dilemma is that if you use too much force, you are risking of puncturing the battery, which I unfortunately did. Waited till next day for the battery to cool down (from the puncture) and I slowly managed to removed it by using plastic gift cards instead of the metal wedge tool that I used before.

Was a tricky experience, but in the end it worked out.

 

[TaZeR369]

Glad it worked out. I'm terrible with handling these type of tiny electronic components I know I would surely break it heheh.

Be interesting to track your new battery with something like AccuBattery and see if it infact keeps its rated capacity over time. I noticed some bad after market batteries look like there performing well at first and then suddenly the maximum capacity starts dramatically falling after each charge cycle.
