Replace battery in Samsung S6 or get a Battery Case?
« on: Tue, 19 September 2017, 14:52:08 »
The battery in my Samsung S6 doesn't last for crap anymore. Should I tear into it and do the suction-cup/battery replacement thing or just buy one of those battery cases?

iphone x.. that's the way to go..

or pay sams $200 for battery replacement.



You can diy, but you'll probably break it..

I heard the best way to extend battery life was to uninstall facebook and messenger app.

I've tried battery cases,  they burn out pretty fast

The reason is,   they got hot, Real Hot.. because you have the charging /discharge losses from now 2x batteries, and it's all bundled up next to the also hot processor.

the boards inside the charging cases easily fry out if you have to charge in your pocket, which at times are unavoidable.


So..... overall ,  battery cases are not recommended,  except for removable battery phones,  where it's only 1x battery, which replace the main battery,   like those 8000mah galaxy s5 cases..  Those are awesome..


to quote a friend;  dude, you can fap for 2 straight days with 8000mah

Because they want you to buy a new phone instead of swapping out the battery. :spam:

I would've bought a V20,  if it wasn't for the bootloop thing lg's been innovating with.

I wouldn't trust it not to blow up at that price.....kinda scary.

i don't think they sell official battery packs from (trusted) sources..


So.. not much of a choice.

I had no idea battery in the mall is $200? I like to get he latest cuz I am a bonafide geek. ATT is $18.33 a month to purchase the s8. 30 months, no good. So pay for it $75 a month towards the 18.33 and it is paid off in 10 months. Or just buy it outright but I think the think is like $700. Or an IPhone. I vastly prefer Android but IPhone hardware and software is much higher quality. You are just not going to go tweaking everything........and breaking it.

hold up my mistake..

samsung battery replacement is $45 + shipping.

$200 is for screen replacement..  I remembered it wrong.
