"Do" take a chance, Anker make superb batteries that work either equal to or better than the originals in terms of life span and quality. I've tried batteries from other manufacturers in the past and had my first Anker, all the way back when I had my HTC Desire, ever since then it's the only 3rd party battery producer I trust.
I've tried others, but they just don't compare in my opinion.

Though it's a great price I can't justify to buy it because the current battery last me 1.5-2days. What do I do with the spare battery? What do you guys do? Buy it as spare and use it once a blue moon? Or switch every so often to spread stress of battery?
Removal of case is also tedious..

I agree. I see no point in a 2nd battery for the Note 2 unless you live in a place where there is constant power outages that may last a day. But if you are in North America I see no reason.
It's $10 for americans, so half price. I ordered one, never know when you forget to charge it one might or are super low and need to go out somewhere.

Wounded! That wasn't up when I was looking last night, and consequently ordered a separate charger just for the batteries lol.
Either way I can't complain, I got the whole lot cheaper than what the Ankers originally were for one.
Edit: I'll add your link to the OP so others can see it before jumping to order the ones I found.

Well, with my previous phones that I had spare batteries for, I alternated the batteries around, when one was depleted, I would swap it for a full one, whilst the other was left on charge.

Confirmed!
I'm no battery expert, but I doubt leaving a battery fully charged for a day, Is going to destroy it, that's like saying you have to remove your phone off charge once it's compete (which is recommended by all manufacturers).
If the battery gets fully charged at 3AM in the morning, I challenge you to show me a Muppet, that wakes up from sleep, just to take their phone off charge, in fear of damaging the battery due to over charging haha.
If someone does do that however.... then they seriously need to get laid and chill the hell out

I'd rather have the battery and not need it than need it and not have it. For £6 it's hardly gonna break the bank. Agreed the Note 2 has a sh*t-hot battery, but it's still new to me and i have it in use ALL the time so i'm powering through the juice at a fair rate of knots. Anyway, you can never have enough power.

True that it is cheap, only time I considered a 2nd battery is when I was nearing the end if my contract of old phone and battery was bit tired. Though buying a battery now and let it sit there for 2 years isn't really cost effective imo. I've never had batteries fail on me, I'd like to know when is a situation where I would need power but not had enough (especially with this phone).
If you hike, or its for an 'emergency' why not just buy one of those 50,000mah chargers? yes they cost more than £6 but then you can charge many devices, many times, and actually let it sit there for ages as there is a lot of mah for natural discharge.

I do have an external/portable battery charger too, but it's just not ideal when you're half way up a mountain, having a cables attached to the device you just want to whip out, check your bearing, then stick it back in your pocket again, it's just too cumbersome.
Having the extra batteries (for my personal situation) means, I can use my Note with MM Tracker or Memory Map, to guide me around the wilderness and not have to worry about conserving life.
I sometimes like to track the routes I take as well, that feature alone drains your juice like it's going out of fashion, If you want a fairly accurate track at least, as it has to poll it's position quite frequently.
I'll probably use two batteries at a time on a day-to-day basis and keep one, part charged. At the end of a day, I'll remove battery 1, put it on charge and use battery 2 the following day, then do the same the following week but replace battery 2 for battery 3. At 6 quid each, I'm not bothered that there will be a battery sat fully charged for a day whilst not in use, as it's not being left in storage fully charged long enough for it to be affected in my opinion, not short term at least anyway.
It seems impossible To find an anker or hyperion extended battery on amazon/ebay uk
. Does someone manage to buy one of them from uk?

I just ordered this with the 50% off coupon:
http://www.samsung.com/us/mobile/cell-phones-accessories/EB-H1J9VMAGSTA
To me, it seemed like a no-brainer: a portrait/landscape stand with a spare battery charger built in PLUS it comes with a spare battery for the SAME PRICE as a replacement battery. I've always liked having a desktop dock so i can easily use my phone as an alarm clock, but with the usb on the bottom of this phone, it'd mean that the dock will be in portrait mode. Although i'll need to manually connect the USB to charge the phone while it's on the stand, i'll be able to have it in landscape mode while charging, plus i can use the same USB to either charge the phone or the spare battery.
Can anyone think of any drawbacks of this? I was eyeing the smart-dock, but (besides being out of stock), it lists at $100, so even with the 50% off, it's still expensive and only works in portrait. (I'm going to pick up the MHL 7 to 11 pin adapter so that i can use my old MHL with this phone for HDMI instead, so i see no need for the more expensive dock.)
Has anyone seen/bought one of these or had one for a different phone?

I also jumped in on this deal for the 50% off price and having an extra battery to rotate.
I really want that multimedia dock though... :angel:

Charge stand is $49.99 but with 50% off is $24.99, as stated there is a code floating around these forums, or register your phone.
The multimedia stand is $99 but is not in stock yet.
Perfect!! Just what I was looking for... rather than carrying a car charging kit when I travel it is much easier for me to keep an extra charged battery I can pop if it gets low.
But with 6 hours screen time, I don't think that will happen very often!
And now its gone...I have to keep an eye on this because its an awesome deal.

If the dock actually charges the phone while it's docked, it would have been amazing. Otherwise, it's an okay deal for a battery and charger.
You can get the OEM charger dock without the battery on ebay for about $10 bucks

You maybe right. Most of us will still have charge left after 12 hours of pretty use. Since the phone is new, I've been using it a lot, configuring, testing, etc. Yet at the end of the day, I am still staring at 40%. But for $25, which include A/C charger, battery charger/holder, and the included battery, it is a hard deal to pass up. It will come in handy on a long day at the amusement park.

I think you misunderstood. I didn't mean my phone has lasted all week long on a single charge haha. I mean every day I'm going to sleep (long 17 hour days) and the phone is still on 20-40 percent depending on how badly I abuse it. The only day I killed it to 0% was the first day I got it because my battery came charged to about 55%
Ever notice looking on ebay for extra batteries look at the supposedly oem samsung battery..Many pictures don't have the watermark sticker on them....It should have them on the top ..opposite side where the pins are. anyone else notice that?
Have used Anker for a while now and I hope they make one for the Note II.

OEM is 3100mah which is the same as the anker (supposedly)
anyways, just bought the 2x battery + charger combo since don't have a charger for the Note 2 batteries and that's like $4 alone on ebay anyways.
is there any difference in the actual battery life between the OEM and Anker?
There is a MUGEN battery that is 100mAh bigger (therefore providing approx. 3% longer use of out SGN2:
http://www.mugen-power-batteries.co...-battery-for-samsung-galaxy-note-2-n7100.html
to be honest, I´ll stay with the stock battery and just optimize my phone with android tuner / Automate It Pro and other tools to get more than 3% additional time... At this moment I am getting 1 full day (18h-19h) of very heavy use with WiFi and 3G on w/o any optimization.
With my settings running I am getting up to 30h of heavy use...
I don´t think that paying 45 USD is worth the additional 100mAh more but I might be wrong

I have contacted MUGEN a few days ago and this is what I've got as a reply:
"Thank you for your email!
Yes, we will have 5000+mAh battery for Note 2 at December."
So this might be a good thing, I just hope that it will not be bigger in thickness, maybe they can figure out how to make it the same size, but i highly doubt it unfortunately

I suppose it will be thicker than the stock. Anker did not offer any improvement in mAh, Mugen offers only +100mAh so I doubt that you can fit additional 1900mAh w/o making the battery thicker. 1-2 mm thicker battery won´t be much of a problem because you still could fit that battery under the plastic cover (tried it out). we´ll see I think, but I am not getting anything that makes my SGN2 any thicker as it is.
EDIT: there is a 4200mAh battery (I suppose total crap, just look at the price) available: http://www.eforchina.com/view/12921...attery-for-Samsung-Galaxy-Note-II---N7100.htm
With this I suppose a 5000mAh battery from Mugen should be possible w/o making it thicker than 1-2mm (lets hope "fingers crossed")
I'm patiently waiting for the Mugen "super" battery. LOL!
I've always had great results in the past, however I've always sacrificed the thinness of every phone I've owned. I guess that's the toss up.

I think that Samsung is improving their own batteries so there is less room for improvement with aftermarket. The Anker battery in my S2 was better than stock, but that wasn't the case with their S3 batteries. Either way, having a spare battery available is really really cool when your away from a charger

Is it worth the investment?
what about the mugen battery?
When you can get an Anker for $8.99, it's beyond me why some one would pay for an overpriced Mugen.
great price.. but i've never had Anker before.. how long do they last? Those cheap chinese batteries that I've had in the past (for my HD2 for example) lasts about 4-5 months and would refuse to charge after that. How is Anker?

Please don't respond with a negative comment when you have no idea what quality Onite offers. I own both the n7000 and n7100 and with the original note I bought 2 Onite batteries with a charger. These batteries run just as good if not better. The weight on them were 1 gram heavier. The charger does take about 8 hours but the slower the better.
I'm now ordering 2 more of these with the charger for the n7100 off of Amazon for around 30. I will keep this thread alive with the results after I receive them Thursday.

Uh... you respond to a negative commend with a negative comment, and that's ok? He's actually correct... Onite advertises a higher mAh rating and then under-performs.
It is YOU who doesn't know the quality that Onite offers. They run worse, if not the worst. And what does battery weight have to do with it?
Take a look, Onite saying it has 200 additional mAh, yet not performing as well as a smaller battery.

My apologies to DarthPiggie for the rude post earlier, but I still stand by my word on this battery. Do you have any previous experience with Onite? I only included weight on the battery, since I know some people are kind of weird about that and I happened to have a scale nearby.
Tonight was my first night I used the Onite from a full charge and this is what I have so far. I used ePSXe for the first 1.5 hours of screen time on the phone earlier tonight to see how fast I could get my battery to drain.
I have experience with Hyperion and it wasn't a good one. Both of their batteries contained less juice than the sick battery even though they advertised the same.
Add for Orion, I have never used them myself but I have read other user's experiences and Amazon customer reviews. In general they seem to also be inconsistent. Anker seems to have a much better reputation than the other manufacturers and they actually seem to know what they're doing.
I'm just imparting my collective advice.

I think a lot batteries are like used cars. Most run okay, some run great, and some are crap from the get go. I know on the original note I bought one of the gold extended batteries and I had a very good experience with it while others did not. I may pick up these 2 with the charger.
I literally bought a 2430 mah gold battery for my Iphone 3gs 32gb to use as an ipod for the gym and it burned my board up after noticing the battery never turning the phone on and thus getting extremely hot. I test my voltages of each battery when I get them fully charged to make sure they are at what they are rated. You should peel the sticker off on that gold battery to reveal the truth.
Also, running a program to kill off every task that isn't needed when your screen is off greatly helps your battery life too.

Killing apps actually wastes more battery because the operating system has to repopulate memory with apps. You are effectively adding unnecessary overhead to the OS. This phone has 2GB of RAM. It is not going to run out of memory like that. Android manages apps very efficiently now anyways. Take this from a software engineer: you're better off without the app killers.

I think you are misunderstanding my use of it. I am not worried one bit about ram, it's actually 1.75gb usable. I have it killing the tasks that open and keep running in the background. For example, even if you close Facebook, you would have to go into the settings of it and logout to fully keep the app from running in the background.
Do you ever hold the home button down to go into the task manager to clear the ram out?
I am on the 4th charge cycle of this Onite battery that I bought. For me it has worked out quite well.
I have had very pleasing results as well and even more happy always having 2 batteries charged to pop right in. I picked up the 6500mah extended battery by Onite as well and haven't had the time yet to run a few discharges but to a bit of a surprise it included NFC. I can confirm from 2 batteries on the n7000 and n7100 each that Onite is a reputable brand not to look past at.

Yes I do, it's right here I suggest getting the 2 batteries, since it's only $6 more. The charge is pretty flimsy for the note 2. It sits in horizontally and these plastic tabs broke on me to keep it to the charging terminal, rubber band is a simple fix.
Note that the charger is .35A so if the battery really is 3500mah then it will take 10 hours.
Hi guys,
Just wondering whether anyone else has bought this for there note 2?.
My arrived today, £9 99 from phoneboy.co.uk and not a good start! One of the clips on the new back casing had snapped off, so on the right hand top side the case doesnt sit flush with the phone, but no deal I can live with that, just cant be bothered returning it. Lol.
So I changed my phone up to 100% and started the new 6800mah battery first cycle, ive gotta say its lasting the same amount of time as the original samsung battery that comes with the phone. But I'm guessing I need to charge the battery a few good times first before I see any difference in its life. And I just hope there will be!??
Stay tuned, I will keep you all updated.

So is it a 6800 or 3800 battery ? Title and content conflict with each other

Update: 1st cycle
Put on charge at 14% due to going to bed. Mainly browsering Internet, listening to music, a few youtube videos. Browsing google play store. Played a few games.
Not really any difference from samsungs offical battery considering its double in power. Hoping thst will change though after a few cycles

If u do not charge it in external charger u will never see a difference. Phone stops charging ANY battery when it gets to a set voltage. Good luck.

I know for a fact they stop charging when the phone "thinks" it has reached capacity. So buy a 1000000 mah battery and charge it in the phone and see no difference.

take the extended life battery, and when first putting in phone, charge for 12 hrs on AC. then discharge down to critical (5%) and charge back up to 100% using minimum 8-10 hr cycles each charge up for first 4 cycles or so. phone will build battery stats and you should see badass life right away.
Mind running some battery benchmark tools?
I purchased an Onite extended battery here and it should be coming in friday. I posted some results of my standard size Onite battery in another thread and had some pleasing results, even though it's still a fresh battery. The 350ma (+-50ma) slow charger that came with my 2 Onite batteries takes about 10 hours to charge one of the batteries (assuming the 3500mah is true), then this means the 6500 mah extended battery will take about 18.5 hours to fully charge through that .35A charger. I don't mind the normal batteries taking long to charge, as it charges a littler longer than I sleep and the slower the better.
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.

And pretty cheap too... Cost me around USD 48.

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.

Let us know if it is infact 20, 000 mah. Seems promising.

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.
