I have purchased chargers and cables from this site before, its been around for a while, but they are having a sale apparently this week and I noticed that they were selling the original Samsung batteries for the Nexus S.
http://www.all4cellular.com/samsung-ab653850ca.html
Not sure if its straight from Samsung but the batteries are 1440mAh, which is the same as the ones Best Buy sent me using the Black Tie protection plan.
I know that the ones on samsung's battery say 1500mAh but maybe they are the same?
Anyways, I'm in for one. Its $5.95 with shipping of $2 total on any order or amount.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1028065 You can find it on ebay for 4.94$. I've already ordered one to see how well it performs.
LE: Also, it ISN'T the original Nexus S battery. That one has 1500 mAh. This one has 1440. But, in theory, it's still made by Samsung, so it's not a replica.

It's the same label of the cheapo batteries/charger I've used for my n7000 and mytouch 4g.
They're nothing to get excited about, but for the price, you can't complain.
The shipping takes FOREVER though, so I'd suggest ordering immediately if you want them.
You'll still probably get your phone long before you get the batteries.
3100 mah battery or not, some games just eat your battery.

except Momax and Mugen , are there any other reliable brands for 3rd party ?

Anker

Yep, anker is the best quality/price, for 13€ you can get a battery with at least 85% of the claimed size, better than mugen.
looks good
Good find

Anybody purchased this item from ebay? The quote is taken from the ebay listing link posted by the OP. Just be careful when ordering from ebay. I'm sure its probably just a typo from the seller, but ya never know which item he means to ship.
The ebay url youve put there is not for batteries for the note II. The note II takes a 3100mah battery your url is for 1980mah batteries but I have seen some on ebay that are for the note II. I had ebay replacement batteries and charger for my note and I have no complaints. I will be buying some later today or tomorrow.

Got them in the mail - typical hong kong shipping of 2 weeks.
They are exactly the same nature as the Note 1 batteries of similar look/brand.
They don't hold nearly as much charge as the stock battery. But bang/buck, they do quite well.
After gaming for a while (several hours) I was actually startled to see a low battery warning.
That isn't so much of a slam on these batteries, as it is a compliment to the OEM battery.
I think having these batteries as backups is perfectly fine. I'd still use the OEM as a daily driver though.

Hello!
I am thinking of ordering this battery
http://www. ebay .co.uk/itm/P589-3500-mAh-Replacement-Battery-for-Samsung-N7100-Galaxy-Note-II-2-/170918618661?pt=UK_iPad_Tablet_Accessories&hash=item27cb8b2625&_uhb=1
any opinions ?
Hong Kong should call their auction site fakeBay. Bought several camera batteries in the past and well its clear they just stick an extra zero on whatever capacity they have. E.g.5000 mAh battery for note2 is really 500mAh.
Save ya pennies and buy from a reliable source.
Edit- nearly forgot, 1000 mAh AAA batteries for cordless phone held less charge than the knackered 500 mAh that came with the phones. BTA i think they were. Woeful.

I would avoid those no name chinese batteries on ebay until the Mugen or Anker ones come out.

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.
Sent from my SCH-I605 using Tapatalk 2
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
Tapatalk N7000 Gnote
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.
Sent from Verizon Galaxy Note II using Tapatalk 2
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:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=43356538
(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.
So I purchased this for my note off eBay. Paid about $40 shipped to my door. Impressed by the quality, it looks sturdy and would last a while.
I used battery current tester and only got 600max charge apposed to the 1200 my stock Samsung charger puts out.
This means 4-6 hours charge time instead of 2 and I must say when I use the phone on charge it actually sucks battery.
It's rated at 2amps which was my mistake but unsure if it makes much difference at 2.1amps.
" Input: DC5V---1000mA; Output 1: DC 5.3V?1000mA (Max); Output 2: DC 5.2V?2000mA (Max)
1A & 2A output at the same time, suit charge for mobile phone, Tablet PC, Digital Camera etc."
Does anyone know how I can get 1200? Or can suggest a power bank for the note 2 that can hold a good charge in say 2-3 hours?

I assume you are not on Verizon and using Galaxy Charger Current app to track your current?
OK, here is a scoop on external battery pack you got. Since you bought it from ebay, I can guarantee you that Yooboa is a fake HK version. eBay sellers buy it form Aliexpress retailers in bulk and re-sell it at double the profit. Take a look here: http://www.aliexpress.com/wholesale...00mah&catId=0&initiative_id=AS_20130429044248 - you can get it for $20 shipped free to US (but aliexpress retailers doesn't accept paypal).
There only a few authorized Yoobao resellers in the world, and Kevikev is probably one of the few (if not the only one) in US. Even at his discounted price, this real model cost $55: http://kevikev.com/Yoobao-Long-March-11200mah-Power-Bank-for-USB-Mobile-Device-YB-642.htm
The fake ones look very real but have fake guts. Beside 600mA current you measured (or maybe it's just a typical 500mA pc-usb current?), it most likely is not 11200 mAh but probably half of it, and you also have to take in consideration 30% de-rating on top of it since mAh capacity on external batteries is at 3.7V while it has to be converted to 5V usb output where you loose 25%-30% due to inefficiency.
I recommend Anker and NewTrent external power banks I have tested and reviewed (summary of my review links in my signature). Just keep in mind those mAh numbers in reality are always 30% lower for the actual capacity your phone sees. I also been informed NewTrent will be releasing 13000 mAh slim battery in a few weeks which I'm going to review as well. But either way, Anker and NewTrent are trusted brand names (with a ton of amazon positive reviews) and offer 1A and 2A outputs and also 1A input charging of the battery itself so you can quickly charger your battery pack and then quickly charger your phone as well.
I'm on an Australian Telstra phone.
Used the original cable for those figures which is embarrassing.
Looks like I'm tossing this junk, I'll just go buy one you mentioned.
Thanks heaps for your help

You are welcome. If you are not in a rush and can wait till mid of May, the NewTrent upcoming PowerPak+ might be a good choice since you are after a higher capacity. I only have their preliminary spec but its going to be 13,500 mAh (@3.7V) with 1A input charging, and dual 1A and 2A outputs, and dimensions of 125mm x 68mm x 28mm @ 283g.
Also, as I mentioned in other threads, stay away from those ebay no name 20,000 mAh ext battery bricks...

Believe it or not, i read your reviews and cross checked some prices online.
The NewTrent may be a better battery than the Anker, but its about 3 x the price to get them from US to AUS.
I ended up getting the new ANKER A4 13000mah
1. Because the 3E was the only other for sale
2. They're both USB input so it makes more sense just to go the higher mah rating
3. Its a new model
Paid $60 shipped to my door from ANKER off ebay.
I purchased it for travelling across Europe - i want the option to charge via AC + USB instead of just AC with the Anker 3. I only intend to use it with my Note anyway and bought it because Hostels won't always have free powerpoints.
My last question i was worried about and just bit the bullet with is: How long does it take to charge via AC (samsung stock) ? It says a crazy 8-10hours on the website via USB. I don't want to leave it alone fearing someone will steal it if its 10 hours.
Thanks again - how do i thank you in your other post? can't find the button.

Uh, totally forgot m8, you are Down Under I know it has been mentioned before by others that shipping outside of US for some products could kill the price. Or sometimes you can't even get the product shipped out; there is a thread started by another member from Australia about getting Zerolemon 9300 mAh battery.
I was about ready to suggest another battery from Yoobao (genuine) rated at 15,600 mAh for $60 from Kevikev, but it probably going to cost you arm'n'leg to ship it out. Sounds like you got a great deal on that Anker battery and even after de-rating you should still get 3 full chargers of Note 2. Regarding charging time, just look at it this way, your rating is 13000 mA-hour. The input to this Anker E4 is 1500 mA, and that's how much current it will take every hour so 13000 / 1500 = 8.6 hours. I think it will be closer to 8 hours of charging. Your wall Samsung charger is 2A which means it can supply up to 2000 mA of current which is plenty for battery's 1500 mA input to charge it at full rate. But if you are using a wall charger rated at 1A or an old phone charger rated at 500mA-750mA - your input will be charging at a much slower rate because AC charger will not be able to supply full 1500 mA amount. Probably charging overnight is the best idea if you are worrying about someone taking it away. But these things are so small, and even with stock usb cable you don't have to be next to outlet. Probably put a newspaper over it or something when you are away? These don't get overheat even considering 30% of energy loss.

I paid $49 + $9 shipping - a bargain in my book. All the other batteries are $50 to ship, which is about the price of the unit itself!
I think i will stay away from Yoobao from now on haha. 8.6 Hours is OK, it doesn't need to be fully charged at all times - just enough for a quick recharge in an emergency situation where i can't find a charger or provide another 3-4 hours battery while im kicking it on the train for 6 hours.
I couldn't get the Astro 3 anyway - even if i was looking for a 4-5 hour AC charge.
Looking forward to testing this badboy out!
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.

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.

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.

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.
