I just recieved my portsble battery charger from Ferocity and it comes with the battery charger and 2 Ferocity batteries. IDK what mAh the batteries are but even ifthey areno good compared to OEM i am still happy because the charger is the same price as the others in its class and its also ridicukously durable so im not worried about the batteries but havent tested yet. am currebtly charging battery 1 right now to compare battery life. will uodate at least when i am a little into the battery
 
nevermind, found a way to measure mAh so will be lrtting everyone know what the claimed mAh rating is in a little bit.
 
Two questions.. Gotta link for that? and how are you measuring the mah? Bought a 1800 battery that's had mixed reviews.. Wanna see if its actually 1800..
 
Sorry, didnt see your posting until now but it's an App Called "Battery Monitor Widget that will tell you the mAh of the battery but am not sure that it will change to the battery accodingly. I have only tried it on 1500mAh batteries so it may have noticed the first 1500mAh battery and stayed that way forever... I am going to try the new extended battery when it gets here to see if the Monitor changes accordingly to the new battery mAh and will post once I find the results unless u can test now with first the stock 1500mAh battery then changing to the 1800mAh battery to see if the app changes the displayed mAh.
 
eBay: lg esteem ferocity

I Can Confirm This Charger And Batteries Are What They Are Claimed... I Actually Have 1 And Use The Batteries That Come With It As Much As The Stock LG Battery So Don't Concern Yourself. They Work As Described And Flawlessly.

Whoa whoa whoaaa. 1st off, thanks for mentioning that app. I downloaded it.. 2nd of all... Please tell me that there is a way to either refresh/update the mAh of the current battery that I'm using. Because I supposedly bought a "1700" mAh battery a few weeks ago, on eBay, and the app is saying its 1500 o_O??!

Well, u can always reinstall the app to refresh the data IF you installed the app with the 1500mAh battery in it then changed the battery... I am also thinking that the app only reads the battery info from the hardware stock setting which would be 3000mAh but IDK if this iss even installed int othe firmware of the device somewhere so I may be wrong.

Maybe it does read the hardware stock battery.. Because the battery has been on this phone, the whole day today, and the app, I installed it a few minutes before I wrote the reply, to you. I even turned off the phone, took out the battery, to make sure the 1700mAh battery was the one I was using (since I often switch from the stock, to the 1700).
 
IDK, once I get the extended battery I will re-install the ROM because maybe the OS reads the battery at the initial start up of the OS and then the app reads that info, maybe it really DOES only read the OEM stock recommended hardware for the phone but IDK. Will see if we cant get around issue here if at all possible.
