Battery for Motorola Defy : Where to buy?

mk76 · Jul 20, 2012

I tried locally buy the battery BF 5X is not available.
EBAY has those as "genuine import from USA to India" which I suppose will take time to reach. Any pointers where can I get that in NCR or a quicker delivery option online.

I am planning to get this Replacement 3.7V/3500mAh Battery Pack with Back Case for Motorola Defy ME525/MB525/BF5X - Free Shipping - DealExtreme. Or if you want something more reliable, then get it from Mugen.

Even I want to get this. It's for rs 2500 on ebay. Too costly.

Thanks.. Looks like I need to source it from the States Amazon.com: Motorola BF5X Bravo Defy MB520 Battery SNN5877A: Cell Phones & Accessories
Much cheaper there.

Even if I get the retail version http://www.amazon.com/Motorola-MB52...8?ie=UTF8&qid=1342835250&sr=8-8&keywords=bf5x it will end cheaper.

I am also looking for an additional battery for my defy. Was quoted 1500 in service centre bangalore.

Will a defy plus battery work with the defy. Heard it's higher mAh. Might give better backup

Same question here- Can the defy+ battery work on the defy?

Giridegr8 · Jul 21, 2012

yes, it will work as the voltages are the same

Yes, the phone profile changes. Which is why the a new back cover is also shipped with the phone. No more waterproof phone now

You got the battery?

mk76 · Aug 7, 2012

Same here. Waiting for the battery experience to be shared.

muneersn · Aug 13, 2012

Battery has been shipped, not received it though. Will update as soon as it arrives.

AsidXxx · Aug 23, 2012

Received the battery. Just the battery cover and back door in a plastic bag, no fancy packaging at all

Phone profile has changed significantly, and still getting a hang of it. Dont understand when it will run out of juice since at 1% it almost lasted 12 hours with moderate usage. At time it drains from 100 to 1 in a matter of 3-4 hours, hence looking for foolproof calibration steps or should I use an app?
