Has anybody tried these spare batts?
If so how are they?
I tried them. Only used it a couple of times. The battery takes forever to charge in the included wall charger. Also, my OEM 3100 mah battery lasts much longer. I'm sure there are better alternatives.

OH MANNN! i bought them already based on the reviews on amazon.. How much shorter does it last than oem in your case?
I stick to proven makers. ..
Use anker battery's with my last 3 devices and also with my note 2, one battery in the charger while the other in the device. ..
Swap once every day and a half or so
Hear my advice. Stick to anker

I can't say exactly but it is a noticeable difference. I am a heavy user and dont have tocharge normally until I go to bed. With the Yesoo, I had to charge by the evening. Three batteries came with it and I have only used one. I'll probably try thr others out.
I agree with the above though. I should have bought Anker.
A note to you from my Note 2.
Here is my advice. All these extended batteries dont worth your money. I had tried many with Note 1 and was just a waste of money. Stick with the original.
anyone has experience with ankers for the note 2 i used them on my s2 and they were alright.. how bout the note 2. torn between ankers of the official spare batt using the 50% coupon
That if I remember correctly, are 3100 mah battery with a 3500 mah sticker. Avoid.

I recognize that this is a "necropost", but since the Note 2 is still a current phone, and this particular cell is still being sold for it, I wanted to alert potential YESOO buyers to this:

(In short, the 2600 mah cells are really just 2050 mah cells with a sticker on top).

Does that mean you switched from N2 to S4?
Btw, no surprise about the battery. Any stock size battery with higher than stock capacity is a dead giveaway of fake. Gets harder to weed it out when they claim the same capacity as stock or double size extended with double capacity. In those cases, I would only trust Anker, Hyperion, and Mugen.

Yes, and no actually.
I did just switch from the N2 to the S4, but this battery is the S4 battery, not the N2 battery. I just saw this thread about the YESOO cell for the N2, and thought I'd share the info about the S4 cell.
A dishonest company is likely dishonest across the board with all their cells. In this case, factory stock is 2600, and that's what YESOO claimed, but in reality, they used a 2050 cell.
Got myself a 20000 mah power bank from eBay.
Got it charged and it took almost 18 hours for a full charge. I still haven't got a chance to use it to the fullest. I have charged my phone once and I haven't noticed much decrease in the power bank.

Yep, Anker makes a fantastic Astro series of external battery packs. The problem, once you get into a higher capacity ones - they become heavy and bulky to carry around. If you are away from a power source for awhile, it's great to keep 8k/10k/20k mAh power station for charging overnight. But for a portable use without carrying bulk/weight and extra wires - Astro Slim would be the way to go, thought those are in 3k-4k mAh capacity range.

It does feel a bit bulky though at 250 gms. I travel a lot in buses and trains. And not all buses have charging points. Trains do have but I'll be lucky to get a seat next to a charging point. Will be lugging it along and checking out it's charge holding capacity for the next few months. Seller has given me a 3 months warranty, being a Chinese make. They say they can't afford to give a 1 year warranty since sending this product all the way to China for replacement doesn't make much sense.

Based from OP link, this battery was $48. I have seen a lot of CH retailers and even on ebay for a lot cheaper. You can get the same 20k mAh for $21.99 shipped to US: http://www.ebay.com/itm/New-20000mA...External-Battery-Mobile-Charger-/230957180801

Ah... I wish I'd seen it earlier. Then again the problem is the seller doesn't ship to India. Even if he had, shipping charges would be around $20 by UPS. And last I heard they don't ship anything with a battery in it.
Good find though. I'd be quite happy if this thing can last me just 18 months.
Sent from my GT-N7100 using Tapatalk 2
if its $21.99 let me be very clear on this
IT IS VERY LIKELY NO 20,000 MAH !!!
I seriously question if that battery is even 10,000 mah maybe 12,000 (and even then it won't be $22)
be very careful. on a lot of things like this they flat out LIE about actual capacity.
has anyone actually tested capacity in one of these? how many charges did you get and from "what level" if discharge on your phone?
2 charges from say 50% taking it down to 75% is not saying a lot for its capacity
No argument about it. At this price, I would consider capacity to be over exaggerated. But so does all other no-brand external battery banks. So relatively speaking this one has the highest capacity And it's pretty heavy, so it kind of justifies more cells. I just provided link, can't speak from a personal experience since I don't have one. But even with brand names, I wouldn't trust too many companies except for Anker, Seidio, and Mugen and few others.
it takes 18hrs to charger and not chage full ,how come like that ?Do it have 2.1A or 2A usb charging port ?Try to charge faster.

But you are talking about quality brand name 16k mAh battery purchased from reputable AT&T store, not cheap part from ebay with a questionable capacity label and quality I just got Astro 3E from Anker, 10k mAh capacity. Will review it in a day or two. Between Anker and New Trent I'm amazed how they are able to have such a compact and pocket friendly quality designs with 4.5k, 7k, and 10k capacities. And those actually deliver as they state, either 1+ charge or 2+ charge or 3 charges according to total rating.

Glad to hear that. I bought the same one a couple weeks ago for an upcoming two week tour of Canada. Now I feel confident that the massive 16,000 mAh battery size and five USB ports will keep my Note 2, camera, and three electronic cigarette batteries going all day.
The same thing is available for 1600INR
So can u pls tell me how long did it last ??
was it truly 20000mAh ?
is it worth a buy ? at 1600INR ?

For that price it is definitely worth a buy. It is not 20000 mah per se...but what the heck. I can get around 4 charges from the thing. So it's reasonable.

Well, u have to consider the price factor also. Then again, if you'd like to get an all day battery from your phone, it's better you buy the 3100 mah battery with flip cover that you can just put in your phone..no hassles for cable and lugging around the battery pack.
Sent from my GT-P6800 using Tapatalk 2
Battery with flip covers are not good I don't even think they go in capacity above 4500 mAh because it has to be thin. Plus, their charging supply is only 500 mA which is going to take you FOREVER to charge up the battery. Just factor in that 2A wall charger gets your battery full in 2-3 hours, while 500mA will take at least 4 times that long. And the biggest factor - you guys have to realize that actual capacity of ANY external battery will be 30% lower than it's label. You loose a lot of energy during the conversion due to efficiency of the electronics, thus at least 30% will be lost. Now, if you are dealing with HK no-name batteries - they have another 30%-40% label mark up just to make it look good.
I got the same battery for rupees 1350 (25$). Haven't tried it out yet. Will do.
I bought these batteries off alibaba for $14 shipped.
Not sure how I tell if they are real or not. They are oem.
Anyone tries these? They look identical.
Any tests I can try?

You got two for $14? You can guess where I'm going with this Alibaba is a market gathering of HK retailers where they don't sell any brand names. Anything labeled as brand name is a knock off. Now, that doesn't mean these are not fully functioning, just that some of the test we run on ebay/cheap batteries turned out to show 2000 mAh capacity instead of advertised 3100/3500/4200. Nova Battery Tester measurement is not accurate, I have tried it numerous times. It's great to run stress test to discharge the battery or relative comparison test between two batteries (which you can try to run with your stock battery to see the mAh reading, and then this other battery to find out it's reading). To get true capacity you will need an external hardware battery tester. Don't want to discourage you, the one you got might actually be 3100 mAh, but I highly doubt these are genuine Samsung considering you got that from HK retailer who sells it in bulk or individually on Alibaba marketplace.
I probably going to sound like a broken record, but when it comes to batteries - go with Anker. Their 3100 mAh was tested to be actually 3250 mAh, and you can get 2 of these batteries and a fast wall charger for about $23 on amazon, although you have to check with international option for your shipment to Australia.
See if it has a water sticker on it, most the fakes didn't have one

They are OEM copies. OEM should mean an authentic item direct from the original equipment manufacturer. Mainland China will call anything OEM now.
Nothing from Alibaba is genuine.
The best test is try to send it to Samsung for a replacement under warranty. See if you get one back.
Most of the fake batteries do have the water sticker. It's the authentic remanufactured ones that don't always have them.
Anyone here using a battery with the stock battery dimensions but higher mah? I'm wanting to buy one, just wondering what you guys have and how it's holding up. Thanks in advance

Anker does make excellent batteries! I have about 6 of their batteries for my Evo 3D, and those have a higher mah but are the same size as factory. They definitely last much longer than stock! Actually my sister and brother in law are still using their Evo 3Ds as their primary mobile phones (upgrading next week) and they also bought some Anker batteries after hearing me go on about how happy I was with them. I do agree with the above post though, it probably does last longer simply because it's newer. I'm a firm believer that Anker's mah ratings are very accurate, and if it was truly a higher mah then it would be marked as so. Why not too, as they'd sell more if it truly was a higher mah than stock yet still the same size. Either way, I appreciate your reply and willingness to help out!

I've seen quite a few on eBay, but wanted to know if anyone in here had tried them. Don't wanna buy one if it isn't truly a higher mah, as I've never heard of the battery manufacturers who make them. If they were made by Anker or another battery manufacturer that I've heard of, then I would have already ordered. Guess I'll just buy a 3rd OEM Samsung battery then. Thanks for the reply!

Well Anker somehow managed to make their Evo 3D batteries last a few hours longer than the stock battery. Not just me saying that either. If you check out the Evo 3D section (haven't been there in over a year, so don't know how deep the thread is buried by now), you'll see many users praising the Anker batteries.
Not saying that your info is false, just saying Anker was able to. Guess it's possible that HTC just didn't use all of the battery space that they had available, and Anker did? Don't know much about that technology, just that Anker definitely beat the stock HTC Evo 3D battery!

Stay away from eBay batteries. All the "gold" 4200 mAh are actually 2000 mAh. Other ones either close to 3k mAh or below. Anker and Hyperion are the only replacement brands I trust, with preference toward Anker. Been using their 3100 mAh replacement for awhile and it still performs better than oem.

There's been a lot of other phones that have eventually had aftermarket batteries which did have a higher mah in the same footprint; especially a couple years ago.
Unfortunately now though it seems lithium ion manufacturing has reached its full potential and we're pretty much at a standstill in the evolution of consumer battery technology until a more efficient material or process is stable enough for mass consumption.
The race to figure out what's the overall best solution in terms of cost, stability, and efficiency is actually very interesting to follow. There's a lot of research going on from a lot of different players with tons of different ideas right now. If it comes down to a certain lab or company that can really implement the best balance of those main factors they stand to make a ton of money from the IP.

If they're actually the same mah, then EVERY phone manufacturer should be paying Anker to dollar to make batteries for them!! There batteries will last close to twice as long as the factory HTC battery!! If it was an hour or two then no biggie, but the Anker's put the HTC's to shame!!
Sent from my White Sprint Note 2 using Xparent Skyblue Tapatalk 2
FYI, Anker does NOT manufacturer their products. They find China suppliers, test their products to make sure it performs as expected and meet all the requirements, buy them in bulk, and test every single product before they sell it. That is how they can keep the price low (cost saving of not having to actually design the product) and being able to offer 18-month warranty on every product because they test everything. They put a lot of work into choosing and testing these products (check out ianker.com or some of my reviews of their other stuff), and re-brand it with their name. Similar to what Monoprice starting to do lately, trying to widespread into other product lines outside of cables.

There's a lot that could explain that. The 3d is old in tech time I think my Gnex was newer and even Samsung themselves came out with a replacement battery after its release that packed almost 25% more mah in the same size cavity. So your anker could very well have more mah. Should it say on both batteries look at them.
Besides that I think HTC used to use nicad batteries until they switched to all unibody designs; maybe the anker is lithium.
And of course batteries suffer from a capacity attrition through charge cycles.

I completely agree with what you said!! The batteries do in fact say that they have more mah. By lasting almost twice as long as the factory HTC battery, that leads me to believe that they actually do in fact have more mah while being the same physical size. I am just surprised, as it's new info to me, that no battery that is the same physical size as the factory battery can actually have more mah. That's what others were saying and I've never heard that before anywhere, so that's totally new info to me. I understand that this may very well be the case in some scenarios, but not every scenario.....
Also, I'm not comparing a used HTC battery to a new Anker battery. I've compared new HTC batteries to new Anker batteries.

Well anker has proven to be a reputable company; if they listed a higher capacity I don't think anyone here would doubt them.
It's just that we're discussing this in the note 2 forum, and for the note 2 we've all learned there is no aftermarket battery that is stock size and actually has more mah.
There's only one company, called Gold, that advertises a higher than stock mah in the same size. It's been proven to be a scam.
So depending on the device, aftermarket stock size batteries can have higher mah. Unfortunately (or fortunately, depending how you look at it), this is not the case with this particular device.

Correct. I got with Mugen guys into a heated argument on this forum. They pretty much came forward explaining the reason why their battery cost so much because of the original development cost and international support. I still don't justify that as a reason to charge $105 for 6400 mAh ext battery when Anker and Hyperion were charging $20 for 6200 mAh, but it's a different discussion...

Well anker has proven to be a reputable company; if they listed a higher capacity I don't think anyone here would doubt them.
It's just that we're discussing this in the note 2 forum, and for the note 2 we've all learned there is no aftermarket battery that is stock size and actually has more mah.
There's only one company, called Gold, that advertises a higher than stock mah in the same size. It's been proven to be a scam.
So depending on the device, aftermarket stock size batteries can have higher mah. Unfortunately (or fortunately, depending how you look at it), this is not the case with this particular device.

Ok, cool. I guess I misinterpreted the replies then. I thought the replies were saying that no aftermarket battery that is the same physical size as a factory battery could have more mah. If they were referring to the Note 2 specifically, then that is totally understandable! I just read/took it wrong. I know we're in the Note 2 accessories forums, just thought the replies wouldn't have been as vague, that's all. Thanks for your clarification though man!!

I'm looking for a replacement battery for my 910T. I remember Samsung had a battery and external charger for the spare battery...?
Anyway, wondering if anyone can suggest a good place (price) for a genuine Samsung battery.
Thanks in advance.

This is probably the last genuine battery available.

After these are gone all the rest found on will either be questionable copies or third party ones like Anker.

I tried waiting at Samsung web site for over 3 weeks for a battery, with no response, I have 2 note 4, black and white for me and my wife...
my 4 older Samsung batteries and 2 charger kits and they don't hold a charge anymore, from about 10 - 15 percent left, they shut down...
I just bought anker batteries on ebay with a charger for about $31, they hold a charge to 1%.. about 2 weeks ago.
they are lasting much better than the samsungs. and buying Samsung batteries on ebay or amazon.. u might be getting these fake batteries that don't last..
I've always gone Amazon. They were OEM batteries. I always check the feedback to make sure they aren't pulling a bait and switch.

The ones on Amazon are 99% fake knock offs which risk fire. Any story you have read online about a phone catching fire is usually either a result of a cheap knock off battery or adapter.
The only two places that have Note 4 batteries still are 100% legit.
http://www.samsung.com/us/mobile/cell-phones-accessories/EB-BN910BBUSTA
and the Best Buy kit I posted earlier in the thread. Anywhere else is questionable.
If a big box store gets them like B & H they will be legit too.
Amazon's inventory has been proven to be compromised. Several have posted online about their batteries even "shipped and sold by amazon" had been clones.
In case you didnt know this happens often on Amazon. The SD Card market and perfume market on Amazon even from Amazon is also like this.
I'm using the Zerolemon 10000mah battery, also if there is a Batteries+ they stock standard replacement batteries for most phones.
Im very happy with Anker bought on Amazon.

I definitely recommend the anker batteries. You can buy them on Amazon.

Hey DeeXii, really appreciate your information. But the Samsug page directs you to purchase it from Amazon. It says it is shipped and sold by Amazon too. Do you think this one is legit as long as it is sold by Amazon? Cause it is heck of a lot cheaper than the BestBuy one...

I would recommend the one from Anker, same capacity as OEM from a reputable brand that makes batteries. It also comes with 18 month warranty and a bit cheaper than OEM one. If you still want the OEM one make sure it is shipped and sold by Amazon.com and you should be fine.
I ordered 2 anker and a external charger on eBay for $35
I hope they're real.

1 battery can last me one day, sometimes down to 30 percent, depends on what I am doing, other times, down to 20 and under.. but it makes the day, then I swap and use the other, but only when it drains to 1 2 or 3...
they are better than all these knock off, I think I paid $31.. but they are better than all my old ones put together, wait till my wife come back from vacation, she will definitely take 1, then I will have 4 old batteries. then I have to test the old batteries and anything that shuts down from 20 or 15 percent is getting retired, junked out..
maybe I will have to buy another set to be happy..

I just Re-read your post, you did say that. Well I got (hopefully) the same thing, I think I paid $32 to be exact. Fingers crossed.
I'm waiting on these in the mail. I wonder if they will be good? Ebay item 201375415018 How would I tell if they are fakes?
I'm waiting for my anker package with 2 batteries and an external charger myself.
I read in another thread, they blame the quick charge 2.0 puck for damaging the batteries. Saying the increase voltage pushed to the battery for fast charging is what kills the life of the battery.
So my question is, those who have replaced Samsung with aftermarket batteries, are you still charging at night with the Samsung qc2.0? Or just using a 1amp or 2amp charger?
Help appreciated.
Mostly use the old 2A charger to prolong battery longevity. Need a quick boost? Adaptive fast charger or turbo charger from moto.
I unlocked your mum's bootloader.
Well I disabled fast charge option on the phone so it should be charging at a "normal" rate now and not the high voltage charging.
So far these anker batteries seem excellent, at least compared to my very degraded original samsung batteries. A deal for 2 Batts and a external charger Imho.
The more I use regular charging, my battery appears to improve and return to normal. All this only supports my reservation towards devices with sealed batteries.
