Can someone recommend a good replacement battery to be used as a spare, and then a desktop charger for the extra battery?
There are many varieties and sources, which one(s) have worked for you -- and would you buy them again?
I got a 3100 mah anker on amazon. Performs the same as stock I think. Doesn't come with a recharger though.

I bought this one. Works great.

Edit: I've had Anker batteries for my GS2 when I had it. Had no problems whatsoever.
why not just get an external battery instead of a battery and battery charger? Anker makes a 10kmah one that is fairly cheap.
Why not the official Samsung one on the Samsung website?
Its priced at $50, comes with the same battery that comes with the phone and folds closed for travel. Also works as a stand for the phone.
If you search you can get a 50% off coupon and get it for only $24.99....seems like a great deal to me.
I plan on getting one myself for my upcoming 2 week trip.....

I like to live lavishly so I own the official Samsung charger that includes the extra battery, the official samsung 9000mah external battery, and the 10,000mah anker external battery someone mentioned above. I can recommend all of them.
One thing to note though. The 9000mah samsung external charger just has one USB port for charging. It also doesn't include its own charger to recharge it. The 10,000mah anker external battery has its own charger included, 2 USB charging ports, and a 3rd output to charge laptops (includes multiple adapters).
I've got for present gold battery that was purchased on alibaba, which has a rated output of 4200m, which is absolutely not true. At first I was skeptical and I have to admit that battery performed well. Who use it and carry it back in my purse in case I am not able to recharge the phone with the original battery. I understand the alibaba the battery is pretty cheap, and in my humble opinion, if the battery is used as a backup should not throw the extra money that would be well for us for a few hours ...
I loved having spare batteries for my Galaxy S3 and I had an Anker (same size and capacity of original Samsung one) which would last longer than the stock Samsung battery so I figured that's what I'd buy now that I have a Note 2. I bought the 2-pack with external charger from Amazon (click here for link) and I'm somewhat disappointed. Both of the Anker batteries stick out about 1-2mm at the bottom (above the speaker) which prevents the back cover from snapping shut completely. This isn't that big of a deal since I use a TPU case, but it's disappointing. I haven't been through enough cycles to test whether the battery life is the same, but considering my phone lasts over 2 days on a charge with the stock battery it'll take a while.
I did, however, order a single QCell battery with external charger from Amazon (click here for link) and UPS literally dropped it off 10 minutes ago. I immediately tried putting it in the phone and it sits flush, so I already like it more than the Anker. It only has 56% charge so I'll have to measure the battery life after a couple more cycles.
I'd recommend buying a single battery with external charger and making sure you like it before ordering a second spare if you want. I'm highly considering returning the Ankers and buying another QCell after I finish all my testing.

Do the Anker batteries stick out at the bottom a little bit? Does your back cover snap shut completely at the bottom with either of the Ankers installed?

I don't think they stuck out when I had one in. I'll double check when I get home from work, though. I have the stock battery in right now.

My batteries don't stick out. My back cover snaps completely shut and I'm able to put my diztronic case on it, too. I bought it a little over a week ago. I had them just in case at the Chicago Auto Show.
I prefer spare batteries than external battery packs and what not. It was very useful at Universal Studios. I was able to just pop the dead battery out and put a fresh one in as opposed to plugging a battery pack in.

I agree about batteries vs. External charger. I like being able to pop in a new battery and being at 100%. I don't want to wait to have it charge when I want to use it.
I just got my Anker batteries last night I will be doing my "scientific" experiments with them tonight to compare the two.

Yeah I think this is what I'm going to do.
Thanks all for the input, having the native samsung battery seems to make the most sense.
I received this unit to test and review. Here are my initial thoughts after testing it for the day. I have owned Zerolemon products for my Note 2, Note 3, and LG G2.
This unit is similar to what I used for my LG G2. Just as the LG G2 had no removable battery, they created a sort of U joint USB connector that connects the battery to the phone. It's made so that the battery sits flush against the back of the phone when they are connected. This in turn gets put into the TPU case provided.
The unit itself does add some bulk to the Note 5, but it's not too bad. It does have an opening for S-Pen access. It's a little tricky, but manageable. The headphone port is recessed in quite a bit, so they have provided an extension to help out with that.
The battery charging the phone itself is not Fast Charging, at least not indicated by the phone when charging. It does have a Micro USB port on the left side to charge the battery if you have the case on the phone. The phone does indicate Fast Charging when you plug in a Fast Wired charger. I do not know if this Fast Charges the battery pack also. But it definitely does charge with the battery pack on the phone.
The camera lens is recessed in quite a bit also, which is nice, since you can lay the phone down on its back and not worry about scratching the lens.
The only thing I would like it to have the battery pack itself be Fast Charging.
Overall, it is of great quality. The case fits snug. Definitely a much needed tool for the Note 5.
I received my review unit a few days ago and here are my impressions on the case.
What I really like about this case is that it doubles the battery life of my note. Another major plus is the pass through fast charge ability. The case does offer a good amount of drop protection to the phone.
Now there is a few things I don't like about this case but not a deal breaker. Wireless charging does not work but I expected that with a battery case, however it would be very cool if you could charge the battery and the phone through wireless charging like the qistone. Another minor thing I wish this case had was the ability to fast charge my phone.
Overall I am liking this case and can recommend it to others.
So I just received the ZeroLemon Note 5 8500mAh Extended Charger Case that ZeroLemon sent me to review. Here are my initial thoughts, along with some pictures.
-IT IS HUGE! Just like the ZeroLemon 3500mAh battery case, the battery is separate from the case. Unlike the 3500mAh battery though, this battery is almost as big as the phone itself, falling about 2mm shorter on both length and width. But the battery is about 3mm thicker than the phone. With the battery and case on the phone, it is about 1.5x as thick as normal.
-It actually feels better in my hands than the 3500mAh version. Despite this case being so much bigger than the 3500mAh version, I actually like the way it fits in my hands better. The design of the case is a big improvement over the 3500mAh version. It does add more weight than the 3500mAh version, but it feels like it is distributed more evenly due to the size and shape of the battery.
-Unfortunately the battery alone does not fast charge my Note 5. This was a complaint I had on the 3500mAh version as well, and I am dissapointed to see that it is still an issue with this battery case. I have not found any information as to why fast charging isn't implemented, though I have a few possible ideas. I have reached out to ZeroLemon for clarification and will update when I head anything.
-The battery does pass through fast charging when connected to my Aukey 3-port USB charger (1 of the ports is fast charge). The battery alone does not fast charge, but it is nice to see that ZeroLemon is able to pass fast charging through the battery to the phone.
-The battery has a full sized USB 2.0 Type-A connector for charging other devices. This is an interesting feature that I have not seen before. I charged my Note 5 with this port, and just like the MicroUSB port this does not fast charge my phone. The odd thing about this USB port is that when I plug my phone into that port, and than plug the battery in to charge from my wall outlet that port stops working and my phone stops charging. I have reached out to ZeroLemon to find out why that is.
-If I plug my phone into the battery, and than plug the battery into my Samsung Fast Charge external battery it also passes fast charge through.
-The 8500mAh battery case came with an extra curved MicroUSB to MicroUSB adapter, but no headphne jack extender. The distance to the headphone jack is about the same as the 3500mAh version which did come with an extender. Since this is a unit sent to me for free to review, they may have left it out. I have contacted ZeroLemon to find out.
So far this is all I have. I will post an update on a few days after I have used the battery case with more information on how long the battery lasts.

I noticed it was up this morning. I won't be able to buy as my other finances take priority. Let us know. Do you have the 3500 mah battery pack? If you do, can you show us the bulk difference between the two?

I would highly recommend the 8500mAh version over the 3500mAh version. They both have similar downsides, like the battery alone won't fast charge, but I actually like the size of the 8500mAh version better. I have a car mount that works with the 8500mAh version but not the 3500mAh version. Also, if I am going to have a huge phone because of the battery case, I would rather it actually help my phone last 2 or more days on a single charge. The 3500mAh battery wouldn't charge my phone from 0 to 100%, the 8500mAh battery will do that, I haven't fully tested how many times it will go from 0 to 100%, but so far it seems like it should be at least 1.5x if not 2x

Can you also open the battery compartment and snap a few pics to show the internals? I have the 3500 and the circuitry is confined to the bottom of the enclosure. I'd be curious to know if there is separate circuitry up at the type A connector or just a line going to the circuit board at the bottom.

Ah, that is quite interseting. I don't think it would be so easy with this one. The battery is sealed similarly to their extended batteries for the LG G3 and Galaxy S4. There is no cover to pop off, I would have to unwrap it, which I am unwilling to do at this point in time.

No problem, I guess I'll have to order one on my own and tear it open.
Has anyone found a suitable belt clip setup for this case yet? Im all in but putting this thing in even my pocket is going to be impossible. No belt clip kind of limits the case to women who carry bags..

Hi,
Sorry for taking so long to reach you. Please kindly note that this battery pack only passthroughs quick charge but not supports quick charge.
The reason why we don’t include quick charge to this battery pack is because of these three limitations which are our major concerns.
First reason is that the larger IC board used to accommodate QuickCharge will reduce the capacity of the battery pack which is against our intention to provide high capacity battery case.
Secondly, if the battery pack and the phone both have QuickCharge activated, it is possible that the phone will overheat to an unsafe level.
At last, QuickCharge Support requires Qualcomm certification which significantly increases the cost of the product due to further licensing and testing cost; as a result, the price will be higher.
Regarding to the issue with the Type A micro USB port, for better protection to the battery pack, the battery pack can not be charged and discharged at the same time.
And for the earphone jack adapter, most headphones are supposed to be able to plug into the headphone jack as tested by our tech team. If you do need one, we will send it to you for free. Please keep in contact with us to let us know your opinion. Anyone who needs earphone jack adapters can contact our customer support to get one.
Hope I have resolved your issues and answered your questions. Thanks for your feedback and support to ZeroLemon.

ZeroLemon released a belt clip. It is a little bit dissapointing the 8500mAh battery case doesn't include this. Both my LG G3 and Galaxy S4 ZeroLemon extended baterries came with a belt clip. Idk why the change with the Note 5, but it is dissapointing.

Looking at the picture it appears you can only mount the phone with the screen facing the inside. This would make the kickstand feature kind of pointless. Has anyone here tried the belt clip?
First, I did receive a review sample from ZeroLemon.
If you're looking for a slim solution, this is NOT your choice, if you're looking for massive amounts of additional power on the go without having to carry a cable and external battery, then this IS your solution.
As I'm sure everyone will mention, it's LARGE. Until battery tech gets smaller, you gotta cram that battery somewhere. It's pretty hefty as well. If you wanted with this battery pack, you could outlast everyone around you in a marathon Pokemon Go session, long flights of movies won't be a problem. It's not going to provide any screen protection if dropped, but it might give you some arm workouts as you use the phone.
It's brainless to use. Plug your Note 8 into the battery case. All the button passthru's worked fine and aligned up. You are still "capable" of using the fingerprint reader, expect a bit more "reach" to get there. The case itself doesn't block the camera at all. No ghosting of the case in your photos.
If I were designing this, I would have added a flipout kickstand so you could just sit and watch movies without having to hold the bulk.
Product Packaging:
Packaging is quite simple, it’s a white ziplock bag and a brown cardboard box. There isn’t much in terms of instructions, just a small flip out pamphlet that instructs you on how to plug in the battery and case.
The battery attaches to the Note 8 via the USB-C port on the phone. The battery attachment also charges through a USB-C female port, so there is no need to change chargers or cables that you are already using with the phone.
Battery Usage:
I charged the case for approximately 12 hours before initial use – as instructed on the white ziplock bag that it all comes in.
The battery/case:
It’s a simple TPU case. It has a matte texture that feels good in the hands and prevents slippage.
After testing the battery case with the camera flash, I found no issues.
There is no need to remove the phone from the attachment in order to transfer files to your computer – something that is not possible with another extended battery case I tried using prior to this one.
Charging:
The battery itself does not support fast charging from the battery to the Note 8, but it does allow for pass through quick charging of your phone if you connect the battery case to your Samsung fast charger.
Pros:
Good extended capacity
Power on/off button
Solid construction of battery and case
Pass-through quick charging
Data transfer pass-through
Worked first time. Living up to name ZeroLemon.
Case itself is grippy and comfortable
Cons:
No NFC
No QI charging
Recessed fingerprint reader
Noticeable increase in weight and thickness of the phone
Needs a flip out kickstand.
Interestingly, if you try to go to the product page its a page saying "Oops - We couldn't find that one"

Interesting that they make two of them now. I wonder how much thinner the 5500 will be compared to the 10000 one.
I saw that 5500 version a few weeks ago before the 10,000 mah one was listed and didn't like the way it looked. The 10,000mah one looks decent, I need to know if it will work with the Whitestone Dome though.
When you are charging this, does the phone and the case get charged in parallel? Or the phone first, then the case etc.
Also how long does it take to charge the case itself, with the phone in it?

I like mine. It's a little smaller and the case is refreshed from older models I've used from ZL

Well I went thru 2 10000 cases in 1 week and both failed. Then I bought this slim one. Worked great for 2 charges and then would not take charge from factory charger. Will only charge from pc. Contacted zerolemon and was told must be defective cable. Lol. Yet charges my phone properly. Zerolemon is garbage and I recommend everyone to stay away from it. Last 2 phones product has gone to worthless in less then 2 weeks.
All their 5500 seems to be is a rebranded knockoff of the ebay versions for about $20 more. The 10 000 version looks like there's. Bottom line, like the OP said. It's heavy, no wireless charging, no magnet, no nfc. Those three are a killer, I regret not waiting for mophie's more expensive alternative.
The Mophie one is only 2950mAh and can only charge the phone 50% of juice.

It should be smaller in size than zerolemon as it has smaller capacity, I think.

mophie wireless battery case for note 8!
this is what i am rocking. only down side would be hard to get the spen out with out long finger nail!!!
First off, let me say this is a great setup for a power user and is the third ZeroLemon 10000mah battery case I have used on a mobile device. I use my phone for everyday business and multimedia use around 12-13 hours a day. I am constantly in the car or traveling for clients and have very little time to actively charge my phone on the move. This battery case combo was a no brainer for me.
So far I have been through 5 complete charge/drain cycles. Charging this battery case usually takes 8-10+ hours and holds a charge pretty well from what I have tested throughout the week.
The overall size and feel is great, although it does take a beautiful thin phone and make it into a hefty brick. I would say it is relatively the same size as 3 Note 8 phones stacked on top of each other. For me, this feels great and gives me a bit more piece of mind when handling the phone all day. However, your basic consumer may not like trade-off. That though, is a positive trade-off for me to have stellar battery and usability to get me through the day, worry free.
The case fits the phone very well and I do not worry about it coming loose, shifting etc...If I were to drop it I don't know how well it would absorb the impact, or whether the phone would stay in the case itsself. I'm not going to test that though. The s-pen can be a bit difficult to get out/in. This isn't an issue for me as I rarely use this feature. All the buttons line up with the respective case buttons and pluggin in the charger has ample clearances etc. The camera and fingerprint sensor are easily reachable as well.
Overall, this was a great purchase and one I will make again for future devices. It does exactly what I need it to do every day, and it does it very well.

I don't think anyone could have designed an uglier solution
Way too much bulk to add considering how long the battery last and how fast the Note 8 charges. I have an external battery, but have only used it once
I bought the 10000 mah lemon battery as well via pre-order being I was coming off a rooted Note 3. Once I seen they was making a 10000 mah lemon I went and bought the Note 8 immediately. Not only have I've gotten 3-4 days with moderate use but it can also be used as an EXTERNAL battery for anyone worried about the added bulk or having to take a more protective designed case off to use the lemon case and battery.
I haven't even seen this option advertised in the Amazon reviews, Zero Lemon website or anywhere so decided to share. Basically just buy any USB C to USB C cable like this but shorter if you want "AmazonBasics USB Type-C to USB Type-C 2.0 Cable - 6 Feet (1.8 M... https://www.amazon.com/dp/B01GGKZ1VA/ref=cm_sw_r_sms_awdo_t1_icXvAb4CR5EGC and plug it in the actual white and black battery that fits in the lemon case. There's a input and output insert. Use the Input slot and plug the other end into the Note 8.
