Reddit reviews Cameron Sino 3450mAh / 13.11Wh Replacement Battery for Google Nexus 6P A1

I purchased this one after I had a repair company replace my original with a really poor performing battery (was down to 55% capacity after a month). The Cameron Sino one has worked fantastic for me so far. it's at an estimated 3456 mAh capacity after 87 charges. Installed it at the end of April.

Also, make sure when you install your replacement battery that the temperature monitor is functioning properly. The repair company replacement battery didn't have a functioning temperature sensor (Always read 77F) and the phone wouldn't limit it's charging current when the battery got hot, so I think they may have contributed some to an early failure.

Replacing my battery next week.


What replacement battery did you get? I saw so many posts about fake "genuine" 6P batteries I just went with a Cameron Sino one from [Amazon](Cameron Sino 3450mAh / 13.11Wh Replacement Battery for Google Nexus 6P A1 https://www.amazon.com/dp/B01KV4OIDE/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_apa_TvelzbF3RRDYH). I figured that at least they were not trying to sell me a "genuine" one.


I will post how it went and my results when it comes in.

I just installed a battery purchased from eBay that looks like the one you linked to. It took me from 60% capacity to 106%, as reported by Accubattery.

But I have had two complete phone shutdowns since the replacement, where the phone turns off and I can't power it on without plugging it into a charger. Very strange. And further research on XDA Forums indicates this isn't an OEM battery and lacks a temperature sensor...though it's not clear if that causes problems.

People have reported that the Cameron Sino battery for the 6P works well and has a temperature sensor. It's available from Amazon: https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B01KV4OIDE/ref=od_aui_detailpages00?ie=UTF8&psc=1

I have one on order and will be replacing my eBay battery with it.

All that being said, it sounds like many people are doing fine with the eBay batteries, so definitely take that into account.

Here's the toolkit I bought for 3.75CAD. The only thing this doesn't have is the razor blade or hobby knife.
I mangled the rear plastic strip both times I took it apart, the first time I had an entire frame assembly (with glass and plastic) so it was no problem.
Frame assembly note these do not come with NFC antenna - you will need to transfer yours from your existing frame. They are all very nice quality and you can choose from pretty much any of them.


Now for the batteries..... this is the one I originally put int, although it is not a real OEM (the temp sensor is not real it just reads 24-25c all the time) it had awesome battery life but after a few weeks one day I was taking a photo and it just instantly black screened and would not respond in any way (I thought I just totally fucked the phone!) until I plugged it in, when it indicated charging I turned it on and it resumed normal operation at the same battery level it originally died at.
I did some further testing and it seems like every time you take one or more HDR+ photos the battery could not sustain the required voltage and it would just kill the phone completely. Several other users in this forum confirmed they had the same issue with this battery and with the actual OEM battery.

So OK, time for a new battery. I had this one laying around that I purchased earlier but decided not to use upon seeing how sketchy it looked. This also gave me a chance to move the NFC antenna that I forgot about the first time.
This battery has absolutely shit life. It started off with 3000mah (88% on accubattery) right from the package. It does not shut down like the old battery but it definitely has a low battery life.


That brings me to my only real regret - cheaping out on these batteries. I have seen lots of mention about the Cameron Sino battery and people in this sub and other forums have had very good experiences with this one so I ordered one and am just waiting for it to arrive to do my (hopefully) final disassembly of this phone.



If you have any other questions or concerns I am glad to help, just let me know!

From your link it looks like the one from ReplaceDirect is actually this one: https://www.amazon.com/Cameron-Sino-3450mAh-13-11Wh-Replacement/dp/B01KV4OIDE you can see the reviews on amazon. I would not trust Huawei batteries again...

I ordered stuff yesterday to do it myself I've watched videos it's pretty hard to take it apart without breaking or scratching anything but my parts list is

The battery I bought was highly recommended on xda devs by several people most eBay batteries don't have temp sensors and video I watched guys battery only charged to 94% but if your new to taking small stuff apart I wouldn't attempt it

I used a cameron sino battery I got on Amazon for it. Here's the link for the one I used: https://www.amazon.com/Cameron-Sino-3450mAh-13-11Wh-Replacement/dp/B01KV4OIDE/ref=sr_1_3?ie=UTF8&qid=1511884627&sr=8-3&keywords=cameron+sino+nexus+6p+battery

It solved the early shutdown issue for me.

I don't really think this battery is really good. The battery may drain after few months of using it.

it was a lil long but it didnt effect anything. temperature sensors says 77F atm but fluctuates a lil bit so I'm assuming its working or uses different resistor.
