Help 3500 mAh Sgs2 Battery problem

[theunicodeful]

hello,

I baught new SGS2 3500 mah battery, the battery seems more consuming than stock 1650 mah battery. it lasts only for 10 hours. i tried caliberating the battery i still have the same problem. i charged it with blackberry 750ma charger. could this be causing the issue ? i never noticed an issue charging it with bb charger wen i had my stock one. any ideas please ?

To expect a battery the same size as the stock one to have over twice the capacity is a bit much. Their marketing sucked you in. Put it down to experience.

Don't think he has same size, he said 3500 battery, nearly twice the size of stock.

Don't think charging with alternative would gave helped but i'm not charging expert.

the battery will become better at holding a charge after a few charge cycles.

what do you mean? my battery wont last for a day. i really dont like it.

If the phone is new, it needs to be charged a few times to get it to optimum performance. Or maybe its so that the phone calibrates the phone properly. Either way, it gets a little better with a few days usage.

A couple of interesting reads about your battery.

The only official Samsung battery upgrade I'm aware of is the (inexpensive) 2000mh version - which I've recently bought - so perhaps your problem simply stems from it being a dodgy overseas rip-off! I recommend the 2000 one as the battery life is significantly improved.

as far as i know there are a lot of rip offs out there, but there are 3500mah batteries which are very good, that are not made by samsung.
which brand did you get?
