Can we use a different battery in the iNew v3?

[Quad]

I have ordered it, so we will know the sizes soon. ;)

I've asked seller on AliExpress about BL-G021A dimension. She answered 72x60x5. Inew V3 75x58x4. So there is little chance that it fits without papper.

Also zte v987/v967s battery cannot fit properly.I tried it and i am uploading 2 photos to see how it must be placed to open the phone.Worse place compared to note 2 battery and not for daily use

ZTE v987 is very very good battery (real 2500 capacity). And I think there is chance to place it in INew V3 if we remove plastic holders from top an bottom. Size of V987 is 78х56х3.5.

@yamontv , but this battery is also 4.35 V, V3 does not charge for this voltage ;/

[nikstar]

The 4,35 is the limit of the battery. The phones (most of them) are charging the battery up to 4,2v for longer life.

@nikstar, i don't think so, on most batteries is written 4.2 V, see the battery;)

[nikstar]

All the Li-ion batteries has 4,2 limit for maximum life.
Also they have 4,35v for safety limit.Anything beyond this can destroy your battery.
You can charge your battery up to 4,35v but it will have LESS charge cycles than if you charge it up to 4,2v.
Download an app that shows you your battery's voltage to check it when you charge it.

When why sometimes be written 4.2 and 4.35 V at times,
is not that different chemistry, different kind of chemistry in the battery ??

iNew V3 can't charge to 4.35 V, so I prefer to put the batteries on which is written 4.2 V (Thl W8), because V3 can charge;)

Very difficult to find an adequate replacement battery for this phone, because I visited almost all the shops cell phones and batteries of different brands in my town (they have a chinese battery and original), and I have not found a battery that can be used in iNew v3.Web shop sellers do not know the dimensions, but if we buy a similar,and wait delivery two or three weeks ago, so if it's not good, we have to reapply for another battery .. When we accidentally find a good battery, the offer will come iNew v10.I hope it will not be so

[nikstar]

There are reports (here also) on some iNew V3 that they stop the charge at 4,35(according my opinion this is due to HW problem).

All these type of batteries are under the same chemistry so ALL should have the same limits.
I do not know why some of them written 4,2 and some 4,35.

[yamontv]

4.35V is max charging voltage. 3.8V is nominal output voltage of both batteries. So the quantity of li-ion elements are the same in V987 and V3. V987 battery electricaly fits ideally.

THL W8 battery has nominal voltage 3.7V so max charging voltage limited to 4.2V. Batteries with 3.8V(V3, V987...) have 4.35 max charging voltage. Thats why W8 battery works much better (20%) than original. Inew V3 charging voltage is lower than recommended. So original battery not fully charging. But I thought that it was fixed in 1.0.4 ROM.
