Help Battery replacement advice

[KutuluKid]

Can anyone who has replaced the battery in their N5 help me to find a quality(preferably OE) replacement. I have worn this one. I know I used to get better use out of this one. Also, is this just a plug and play swap or do I need any software to calibrate? I am also running DU 8.2 if that matters.

As far as I know, the Nexus 5 has only been out for a year. How on earth have you 'worn out' your battery?

Well, I was playing with kernel settings and did not realize it had locked in at 1700 and then I put it on the charger with about 30% remaining. Woke up about 5 hours later to a phone at single digit percentage that was so hot I could barely hold it even in a iblason case. Its been a bit weak since. Moderate usage gets me about 2 hours sot.

I was a bit skeptical of the batteries on amazon. $10 dollars sounds a bit strange, or is that really what a quality battery goes for? I prefer to use OEM if anyone knows where I could find one.

All those reasons you've just posted doesn't always justify a bad battery. Consider the fact that a kernel - a core of the OS that handles file management, resources, security, throttling (key word here) based on the temperature of the device. It would make sense that the kernel will not allow you to increase a throttled frequency when the device is getting warmer and warmer because that's what it programmed to do. Have you tried different USB chargers and cords, along with a different wall socket? Cleaned your dalvik cache, uninstalled power hungry apps?

Replacement batteries aren't that pricy when comes to electronics. ************ sells both models of battery d820 and 821 for around $11 (forum won't let me post the name of the company, I guess I wouldn't recommend them...)
