In case anyone is interested, I just got this external battery charger today. It's made by Momax. The description says it's for the Omnia i908/i900 but those phones use the same battery as the Nexus S. It's dual voltage and comes with Type A (US), Type C (Europe), Type G (UK & South East Asia) and Type I (Australia/NZ) plug adapters so you can use it anywhere in the world.
I have one for my Nexus One also and have been using that one for the past year. I highly recommend it for anyone who would like to charge an extra battery without having to keep your phone plugged in.
I got it from this site:
http://ioomobile.com/shopbybrand/171-universal-charger-for-samsung-i908-omnia-4-plugs-usukeuau.html
Shipping took 5 days and is pretty quick considering it came from Hong Kong.

Does it look like this?
I just ordered one as well, it's cheap, but I hope it works well and doesn't damage the battery.

At 21$, I think you should consider buying a desk dock with a 2nd battery compartment.

Yea, it has. But not with a battery compartment. I was referring to the after-market models.
Got link for the cheap 2 dollars? And they don't damage the battery?

Sent from my Nexus S 4G using XDA App

yes they are fake after market, but they work good, been using them since the Nexus S came out last year

Look ?
Lol I can look at these all day but I wont know the crap from gold unless I ask right?
sent from my new HTC Evo
has the exploding fake battery gone out of style? I remember a few years ago there were a series of incidents were batteries exploded. I suppose nothing is guaranteed, but are these batteries at least third party from a respectable place?
i'll probably go for the Sedio one http://www.seidioonline.com/product-p/basi17ssn2.htm
1750 mAh without changing battery door
I use the cheap Chinese versions from Ebay with chargers. They work just as well if not identical to the original. Since I charge them in the wall, they can explode if they like.
Seriously though, I have also used the same ebay source for my wife's EVO 4G as well without issue. If fact she prefers them over the HTC red OEM's for some reason.
so many sellers
which is the preferred one?
Just throwing this out there, but authentic new Samsung batteries go for between $9 and $15 on Amazon. That's pretty cheap for peace of mind.
are they genuine oem?
care to link to one?
do exploding batteries only explode when being charged?
thanks!

I don't notice a difference in life span, and for that price for a Samsung battery, can you argue with it?
Is it one u would find at a retail store? or coming in with a phone? or a rejected one that didnt meet specs?

Its sold new directly from Samsung. I believe they have it on their site too.

ours are 1500
What about these

I have been looking for hours online and I now give up. I cannot for the life of me get a simple answer to the question. Are all Note II batteries compatible? I only saw one place that said yes, but if that's true why does eBay have them listed as SGH-i317 vs SGH-i317m or the N7100 ect. it's confusing. I want to make sure because on eBay there's 1000's of batteries but if I get specific and type in SGH-i317m only a few pop up and they are more expensive so I'm hoping another model #'s battery works. Thanks.
PS I saw the similar thread on extended battery case compatibility but I'm wondering about regular battery replacement. I know the note II variants differ slightly, some have FM radio tuner, some have dual sim card capability ect. Are those darn batteries universal
From what I've read the battery dimensions are the same throughout the models. I would be willing to bet my hard earned money on this.

Thank you. I went ahead and bought 2 3500mah or whatever the abbreviation is lol and a charger for 35$ for model SGH-i317 and mine is SGH-i317m it also said it would fit the n7100 ect. So yes I think it was never really discussed because as you say, there's nothing to discuss they're all the same I'm hoping. I will confirm when I get them
Has anyone bought this package? I was looking for extra batteries on Ebay and ran across this one. The seller has a good rep. I still wanted to ask here tho if anyone bought this, or what your thoughts would be considering this is three batteries and a charger, for very cheap.

I caved and bought it anyway. The seller has a good rating and that is everything on Ebay.

Sellers tend to have good rating for the quality of their service, not necessarily for the quality of their products.
$13 isn't bad though.. you should have maybe at least 6500mah combined from those three batteries.

I agree. Still, you would get a lot of negative feedback, especially concerning batteries. A lot of people have bought that, so I took a chance. I will definitely update this thread once I get them. =-}
It is insanely easy to falsify ebay ratings.

Just ebay. Verified buyers on amazon are actually pretty good.

I have a suspicion some of the sellers on Amazon get their shady rating count as well. It takes a second to create merchant account on Amazon and list anything already sold in there under the original manufacturer listing. Since I talk to a lot of accessories companies, a number of them complain about people selling fake ones under the same listing (very common with Spigen, UAG, Samsung batteries/headphones/chargers, and others). So you have to be very careful who is the actual seller of the product when you click to buy it. I notice some sell fake stuff, it's clearly listed as seller from China, and they got 100k feedback rating?!?
Personally, I try to look for those who sell with Prime option since it's covered by Amazon and often an OEM part they have in their warehouse.

Ebay can be pretty good if you know how to check feedback. Almost everything I buy is from there (laptop, phone, fresh fruits).
Yes let us know how good they are. I have a $6 glass screen protector coming in a few weeks that I'll post pictures too of so people can compare to the $30 brand name ones. I love comparing generic chinese sold products to the brand name ones. In many cases they are very similar expect one has a fancy badge and price tag
I also got a micro USB to HDMI adapter last night for my Note 2, and one of those 3 in 1 lens kits for it. The lens kit was only $7 with free shipping. I watched several Youtube vids regarding it, and for that price you can recod some pretty amazing footage.
I'll also update you all on those as I get them. =-}

Any update about the quality of the battery, especially compared with original battery? These look like genuine Samsung batteries, but for the price I doubt that. Thanks!
Did you read the power output from the charger? It's too less.

I noticed that. Wouldn't they just trickle charge then? I don't know alot about electricity. Just as long as it's not too much power.

With wall charger you get ~1600mA which charges device in about 2.5hrs . The output of the one u bought is 1/4th (400 max) of the external charger so it would take 4x times longer than it would have taken with the wall charger(10 hours ) .
i dont know much about electrical stuff . I hope am wrong cuz i have already bought a spare battery and thinking of buying the samsung external charger but 50$ is way too much. Im getting it at 39.9$ but stilll too much
Do keep us updated.

Well, there are three batteries so I won't need them to charge in a hurry.

Bought something similar once, the charger works fine. But the batteries expanded to nearly twice there normal thickness in the center so obviously they weren't usable any more
I'm looking for a replacement battery for a Note 2 in the UK, and wanted to buy an Anker but they don't seem to be available anywhere. There are lots of "genuine" Samsung batteries on eBay, and this one on Amazon which has very few reviews:
https://www.amazon.co.uk/Original-Galaxy-Note-GT-N7100-EB595675LU/dp/B014WD73QY
Can anyone recommend a good one that is actually available in the UK??
Hello and thank you for posting in the Q&A section,
the battery you linked is a good one. I am not using it, but it is okay.
Kind regards
