Just wanted to link you guys to some very inexpensive battery only chargers. I am a heavy heavy user, so I kill an extended within about 6-8hrs. Bought this with two extended batteries and has been doing great. Cannot beat $4 shipped either!

Update on AT&T Tilt2 Charger and Spare Battery, 1750mAh.
This is what I have. Bought the Seidio 1750mAh battery and the spare battery charger from Naked Cell Phone. Bought both a couple of weeks ago and no problems to this date. I would make sure the battery charger you get has the 4 prong connection, NOT the 2 prong. Not sure what real difference it makes just more precautionary.
I have heard good results with BoxWave too. I got this same model charger at Naked Cell Phone Store on eBay for $32, for some reason they are out of stock right now.

This is the battery I have. Bought it from WMExperts Store, again no issues or problems. Even though did not pay for any special shipping I got this stuff and some car adapters in about 3 days. I did pay $50 for the 1750mAh battery.

I'm interested to see how this battery holds up.
What do you mean when you say "4 prong connection" when you mentioned the charger? All the chargers I've seen only have 2 prongs and US outlets only have 3 prongs.
On the battery end...
He is talking about a charger to use with batteries NOT in the phone. I.E. swap out batteries kind of thing.
The 4-connection vs 2-connection is quite simple. The 4-connection can balance the cells in the battery. The 2-connection just dumps a charge in. 4-connection is better, assuming the charger actually bothers to balance the cells.
If you don't mind I'd like to plug my third party battery investigation thread...
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=590815
On a mission to aggregate feedback on third party batteries from threads like this and to test the batteries myself so we all can have a more reliable source of information on the veracity of mAh claims of these mysterious batteries. Could use your participation.

I am going to be traveling in the next couple of weeks and there will be several days that I am nowhere near a charger for 12+ hours. My Note has been really good with the battery with moderate use but the area I am going to has LTE so I plan to play around a bit. I figured it would be best to purchase a spare battery now and then take that with me so I am not running into any problems. Does anyone have any suggestions on a good spare battery? I know there are plenty of off-brand batteries on Amazon and eBay. Would it be better to get a Samsung official battery or has anyone had good success with any of those off-brands?
Thanks!
I bought Samsung "Spare Battery Charging System". Included battery, carry/charge case, micro-USB cable and Charger. Case doubles as stand for portrait /landscape viewing. Phone does not charge via stand, only spare battery charges.
$49.00 at AT&T. Good value, IMO.
I have been very happy with the Hyperion 2600mah 2pk with charger on Amazon for under $28. I believe they sell the batt separately also. Battery life is comparable to the oem batt and as an added bonus....it recharges faster for some unknown reason. Highly recommended...really.

Do you have a link to that product? I am searching Amazon and AT&T's websites and I do not find anything close to that. Only the dock or the charger with no batteries. Thanks!
I have using Anker batteries in all my android phones, and LOVE them. Fantastic customer service! You have a problem? They will take care of you with in a day!
The Anker batteries on my previous Samsung Infuse worked fine for myself for traveling .
I am using the Hyperion battery as well. Get which ever battery beforehand so you have time to go through a few recharge cycles to get the battery at its peak performance.
I ended up ordering the Hyperion 2 x 2600mAh batteries with charger. Along with the OEM battery I should have no problems lasting an entire day away from a charger.

Thanks all!
Doh . . . I was just going to say you can order OEM batteries from Amazon through a seller for $30 and it comes with a charger.
IT doesn't mention that it comes with the battery but it does.
http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0076Z3FSQ/ref=oh_o00_s00_i00_details
Just be careful buying "OEM" through other then official channels. There has been atleast one person here that bought "OEM" battery that gave him a whopping 6 hours of run time.

That's still good to know because Amazon is great about returns. I returned an "extended" battery for my Infuse when it lasted less than the OEM but was falsely rated higher. So if by chance the Hyperion batteries don't hold out I can always return them. I am sure they will work fine though, at least for the purposes that I need them for.
I just ordered this:
http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B005VBNYDS/ref=oh_o06_s00_i00_details
Basically it's an external battery; this worked better for me as I have multiple devices that sometimes need an extra "kick" so I didn't want to be limited to a single battery for a single device.
If the Hyperions perform like the one I bought, you should be satisfied. It seems to operate as long as the Samsung one that came with the phone.
That being said, I also ordered the Samsung charger/battery combo that's also $30, and sold one of the Hyperion batteries and the charger. So now I've got 2 Samsung batteries and 1 Hyperion in rotation. I can't really tell the difference among them.
In the end, I think you get more bang for the buck with the Hyperions.
both OEM batterys came in today from amazon. havent got to use it yet, but same box from AT&T store
I recently bought the Anker 6400mah battery and have been very pleased with the performance. I was wondering if one of the generic battery covers from ebay for the 7000mah, 7500mah, 7800mah, or 6800mah extended batteries would work with the Anker battery. I want to do some experimenting and I don't want to mess up the cover that came with the Anker battery. Also just an FYI for those with extended batteries I found this case on ebay and I ordered it. I will let you know how it is when it gets here.

Just wanted to mention that I purchased two Anker stock size batteries and wall charger with additional USB port for $29 shipped.
They come in a very nice box... almost looks like a gift box, and everything has 18 months of warranty. Can't beat it for the price. I bought it from Ankerdirect on eBay.

I'd had great experience with S3 and S2 batteries and chargers from them. The Note 3 charger is ONLY for the Note 3. It's not a universal charger that will charge any Anker battery, but I prefer that, because the previous models, though universal, were a bit difficult to adjust the pins on for charging.
Really happy with the investment.
Hi, have you found to be the original Anker batteries? regards

I also have this kit and it is very good! Anker's warranty is seriously the best out there.
Has anyone used a NOOT battery before? According to their website, it does have NFC built in.
It's currently $5 per battery on Amazon. Looks exactly like the Anker, but with different branding. Most likely the same battery but at less than 1/2 the cost.

I wouldn't trust a battery that literally photoshopped their logo on top of Anker's.

Do you really think Anker's batteries are designed in house?
You can contract your name onto any product template up in the Shenzhen
Have you noticed that many of their products look like the generic ones you'd find on the fleabay sporting different brands
They have good CS, I'll give you that
To those who have this kit, does it take longer for the charger to charge compared to the stock charger? I had this with my note 2 and it took forever (around 12 hours) to do a full charge on a completely dead baytery. I'm thinking if I should get this or the official Samsung spare battery charger

I dont think it takes any longer... I never really noticed because it is always fully charged when it is time to switch the batteries.

I picked this up recently. $30 seems fair considering the batteries support NFC. I prefer the non-universal charger that this comes with.
I had the equivalent ($20) product for my S2, and the Anker batteries outlasted the stock and replacement OEM Samsung batteries by a long shot. Of course, the original battery that came with the S2 did swell up like a balloon in less than a year.

Lol
I would never buy that battery. Ever.
There's a reason that it's half the cost. You get half the reliability.
And yes you can get cheap stuff over there (Shenzen) because a lot of it is the cast offs and slightly imperfect versions.
I've been getting close to two days of average use per Anker battery, even though my Android System usage has spiked since updating to Kit Kat. So slightly better than the stock battery on Jelly Bean.
I've bought anker batteries for all my phones and so have my friends. The factory Samsung batteries ive had all ballooned up. All my ankers are still good. They seem to last longer than the factory batteries, maybe I'm just imagining things.
Currently I rarely ever charge my phone on the cable, I'd rather not risk wearing out the usb port.
I wake up, swap in the charged battery from the charger and stick the old one in the charger. Rinse repeat.
Is it just me or these batteries with charger cost US $260
Many sellers raise their price to something ridiculous when they are out of stock. Still $29.99 on Amazon.
I bought a set of these for me and my Fiance as soon as we got our Note 3's. We are both very accustomed to having spare batteries, we also had some with our Galaxy S3's. I have not had any issues to speak of with these batteries. Life is on par with stock battery, charge as expected, charger is functional etc. I would highly recommend them. I think I snagged them for about $26 on Amazon a couple weeks ago.
Besides the oem charger, which is the best quality spare battery charger? My anker charger broke after a few months of use, and from what I see Zero Lemon seems to sell the exact same charger only its rebranded. Are there any better options?
Were you using Anker batteries? Did you get them through Amazon or elsewhere? How did/do they compare to the standard battery in your opinion?
