My Zmax Pro was going on 18 months old and stopped holding a very good charge, I looked online and it stated that was average life for most batteries . I researched YouTube on how too replace it bought one on eBay and installed it, now phone is like brand new again. The install was a little tricky but I had it completed in 45 minutes .
This is the video that helped the most.

And this is a current eBay item number for a battery.
263459439237
The installation just requires some patience, but well worth it for only $10.
Let me know if anyone has any questions.
 
I've got thick fingers. Garunteed to screwed something like that up. I miss easily user replacable batteries.
Just plop them in where you took them out. No cable connection involved.

These new internal batteries kinda are BS

Im not great at it just figured was worth the risk cause if I broke it just buy a new one for $80.
 
True enough on the investment arguement. I would still be using my HTC m8 today if I could have replaced the battery myself. As it is the m8 is a bedside table device able to go about an hour of screen on time before dying. For some unknown reason I just prefer the higher end devices. Congratulations on your success.
