As we all know the battery life isn't the greatest for this phone so I was wondering if anyone could give me some suggestions on good external battery packs.

I have two that I own. For a single charge (or a couple from ~40%-~90%), I use PowerGen 2900mAh UltraSlim Power Bank Charger. It's small enough that if you wanted to you could Velcro it to the back of your Razr and has a built in Micro USB which is handy.
For longer stints away from power (travel, camping, etc.) I have the New Trent iCruiser IMP1000 which gives me 6+ charges and is still fairly compact at 4 x 3.75 x 1.125 in.
Thank you.

I should add that I have found using Juice Defender Ultimate, I rarely have any power issues. With normal use (30 min stream audio, some camera use and pretty frequent use of text/email/checking in on forums) I can easily go all day on a charge. I'm at 12 hrs and 51% right now after a typical day.
So if you haven't looked at JD, I'd recommend it. They have a free version and two paid. You can compare their attributes here. I went with the Ultimate and figured I'd grow into it, which has happened. The more familiar I got with it the more I find myself taking advantage of it's flexibility and options. Definitely a great app!
Here's my review of the New Trent IMP99D. It has a slightly smaller capacity than the New Trent that Sally talked about, but mine can charge two devices simultaneous (provided that the second device is a tablet).

Really? It lasts longer than my Bionic which was longer than my Charge which was longer than my Dinc.
I think that for the size of the phone, the battery life is FANTASTIC! However, if you invest in the New Trent like we have, you'll be happy.
battery life problem
My battery last at most 12 hours under moderate usage.. Is that normal? I really want to get an external battery charger that is below 30$
Where can I get it? Any suggestion

PowerGen makes a nice little 2900mAh charger that's $27 at Amazon. It even has a built in micro USB cable.

One more vote for the New Trent ^^
check at your Verizon stores for the Motorola external battery pack. The new one has a grey USB cord and sells for $40, but some stores still have the old ones with the blue cord on clearance for half the price (I ended up paying $16.50 total with my company 20% discount). They're the same exact thing as the new one but just with a blue cord. I've been happy with mine, even lent it to a few iphone guys at work to give them a charge.
Also, check stores like Office Depot, etc. in their accessories section. Yesturday I just happened to run across a "iGo" backup charger/portable battery pack (1800 mAh) for $12 on clearance regularly $40.
I tried posting links but I guess noobs on here can't post links.
Anker 5600 mAh slim small, variety of adapters only $39.99 on Amazon.....

Yes, it can be charged via USB.
Fyi, besides the micro USB output charging port with built in cable, there's a micro USB input charging port and a USB female output charging port for charging any device via USB. It also has a LED flashlight.

No just get another phone with a bigger battery or removable battery. Or buy two DNA's, 2 phones would take up less space. When one phone dies turn the other one on.:silly:

While I haven't purchased it myself (highly considering it though, will need to do more research), this seems fairly interesting.

Here's a "review" that I watched/learned about its existence. Doesn't help much... anyone care to explain which port we would use to charge the DNA? The 2A or the 1A?

It really doesn't matter which port, I don't believe the DNA uses more than an amp to charge, but you can't damage it by using the 2A port.
This is correct! The phone decides how much charge to pull preventing incorrect chargers from damaging

use the 1 amp. When using car chargers that have 1 and 2 amp choices, my phones have always charged @ 500mah on the 2 amp side but 1 amp on the 1 amp side. I think its to protect the phone. There are battery apps that will tell you how much charge the phone is getting.
http://www.amazon.com/5600mAh-Exter...d=1353451168&sr=8-2&keywords=external+battery
I use the 5600mA version (though only has a charge rate of 500mAh, but the biggest one can even charge a laptop and it goes for less than $45, the smallest one is about the size of two fingers put together and the largest one about the size of a 2nd phone (though probably a bit thicker) and has a 3Ah max charging speed
edit: i was looking at the 10000 mA version and it seems that the astro3E doesn't have the laptop charging, but i found the regular one (astro3) that does have the output for laptops, but is also selling for $60.
What about MintyBoost? I'm planning to make a few. The main feature is that it works with standard AA batteries (or AAA or whatever gives it from 1.5 to 4.5 volts or so, rechargeable or not it's not picky about source) and you can hot-swap them in the field with fresh or even cannibalized ones (you can easily "increase" the amount of power you carry with you without buying another expensive charger by just having a stash of cheap rechargeable AA).
Anyone tried? Any bad things about it?
I just got the EasyAcc 12000mAh one from Amazon for $40 and I highly recommend it. 12,000 mAh so roughly 5 full charges for the DNA. I'd post a link but I'm new.
I've got the Motorola P4000 from VZW. It's nearly perfect. The form factor is exactly what I want...very very thin. It also has a built in MicroUSB cable, which tucks nicely into the lip around the unit. Both of these are features I wanted. It also accepts a USB cable to use a separate cable if you prefer, but the integrated cable is huge to me. It's recognized as a 1A AC charger and charges fast.
There's just one fairly big problem though. If I'm in certain areas, presumably where signal is a bit iffy, it'll kill my signal when I plug it in with the integrated cable. Interestingly it seems not to do that if I use a separate cable -- even if the phone and the charger are in the exact same spot as when I used the integrated cable. So it seems like there may be some kind of interference that isn't being shielded with the built in cable. It's a big issue, but I haven't yet found another device with the form factor, integrated cable, and 1A charging. And in most places, it doesn't happen. I just have to keep an eye on it if I'm using it and expecting a call.

its 35 usd from were I am sitting ..
and it aint about the looks.. that white external charger can double has a battery case and charger.. that is cool to me, could be for somebody else.
and the most important .. those almost universal battery chargers ain't worth a crap , and work like for 2 months and then give their soul to their chinese maker .. I had a few..
And I swear I don't trust those circuits to charge my batt .. that white external charger uses the stock charger or any external powerbank for charge on the go.
I Just think it's worth it , for it gives much more options
Love this one(RavPower 14000mAh)
I have an iPhone 4, sumsung S3 and iPad 2 which is clear that I need a battery charger that saves me. Looking around the market there're massive brands. At the first sight I have looked around Mophie, Mipow, but they seem to be at the luxury price line. Once my best buv Jack showed me his RavPower 14000mAh that he gets from Amazon, it was a cool one that you can charge 2 devices at the same time. Amazed by the price(around 40 bucks), I give it a try. Now I carry it with me everyday, you guys should really try it out.

ZeroLemon's Travel External Battery Charger (SA: NOTE3) for the Samsung Galaxy Note 3 (N9000 series). This is compatible with the ZeroLemon Extended and Samsung Galaxy Note 3 stock 'Slim' Batteries. I have several of these external (red) chargers from ZeroLemon, and they work great.
Always have two 10,000mAh batteries charging in these units, while another such battery is in use in our phones.
Bastex Wireless has it via Amazon.
According to the manufacturer:

So I have started using an application on my Note 3 that is pretty much a battery muncher, GPS, Data, Processing, Graphics the works. I am looking into some options for extending battery life with some accessories. I was originally planning on getting 2 batteries with a charger but I'd like to also consider a portable battery pack so I can share the power with friends. What I am curious about is whether or not the charger can support the 900ma/h charging rate. I was wondering if the standard usb port can support the power as long as its a micro usb 3.0 connector. To simplify I just need to know that if I have type A usb connector to a micro usb 3.0 connector can I charge my phone at the fastest rate. And does the output of the charger have to be at least 1A?

I own two battery packs. Both are from a company called PowerGen and I picked them up on Amazon.com. One pack is 12,000mah the other is 5,200mah. You just plug your regular charging cable into one of the standard USB jacks in the battery pack and turn it on. The larger pack has a 2A jack and will charge at a fast rate. When I was using the Note 2, I used a special heavy duty charging cable that I picked up on Amazon.com and that cable allowed the Note 2 to charge at a faster rate. I have not tried to use the cable on the Note 3, but I might soon. I feel that battery packs are a much more flexible approach than extra batteries. You can get more than one recharge on the battery pack. I addition, I use the battery packs with a large number of other devices. If you get a new device, the battery pack can still be used.

YUp. I have an old anker external battery with 1a and 2a ports, the 2a port charges my note 3 at 1800. To be fair it is picky over the cable used (a decent quality non ribbon cable) and the temperature of the phone and battery (thermal throttling which is perfectly sensible to avoid cooking the battery and phone). It appears that there is a lot of variables that can potentially screw up a decent charge rate for some folks some of the time. My experience with the anker battery pack has been excellent, even nearly 2 years later after daily use.
Personally I am getting a little tired of the whole charging the battery twice a day so I am looking at a larger battery. The zerolemon allegedly affects signal quality, the 6400mah ones from elsewhere seem to come with shocking cases so I am still looking. It would be great if samsung came out with an extended battery and case. You think they would be after that money.

How do you check what the charging rate is And id like a cable that bends with no resistance unlike the factory cable .
Theres a free app "galaxy charging current lite", seems to be pretty accurate compared to time taken to charge.
As for the cables. I checked quite a few cables and I noticed that the higher quality cables, more expensive, thicker, better connectors etc were far more likely to charge at a higher rate. I would not be shocked if some of the cheaper cables, especially the flat noodle types were skimping either in the cables or the shielding. I could be entirely wrong of course but I did attempt to limit any other variables like being in airplane mode, low room temp, battery not near fully charged.
Don't get me wrong, I find it a huge PITA using a stiffer cable but that is why I am looking for an extended battery that doesn't leave me with the worlds worst case or stuff up the signal.

2 a is not bad. That is what the oem charger is. Depending on how much juice the app is using 1a won't cut it.

Most phones only come with a 1A charger, while most tablets (and Note 3) come with a 2-2.1A charger. I have an Power Bank battery with a 1A port and a 2.1A port. The 2. 1A port is the only one I use to charge my Note 3, and I use the 1A port for other phones and/or my blue tooth headset.

I'm an idiot, I left my charger at work. Is there another compatible charger I can buy or do I have to drop $35 for the turbocharger from Motorola ( I know any mini USB charger will work but I don't wanna wait 5 hours.)
Yeah there's a good amount now, just look for Qualcomm QuickCharge 2.0 compatibility. I have the Tenergy one that was cheap and works great.

They are all great alternatives and don't look to be quite so blockish as the motorola one is

that's lame of people to take your charger. Where do you work if you don't mind me asking? Or the type of work you do?

I'm a firm believer in Anker products. I now buy only Anker chargers and cables. They have Smart IQ, which automatically adjusts amperage based on what the device can accept, so you will always get the max charge. They always get close to 5 stars on Amazon. Actually, they are the highest rated chargers you can get.

The Anker portable batteries and chargers I have aren't Qualcomm Quick Charge 2.0 certified, and won't charge as quickly as the phone is capable. Search Amazon for certified chargers.

If you want to use quick charger that's fine with me. My anker charger is pretty quick as is. I've heard that quick charging may eventually hurt battery life in the long run, so I choose not to use it. I don't need quick charge because I don't even use my phone a whole lot to begin with and rarely go below 60%. Plus, I have a charger handy wherever I am. (car/work/home/portable charger)
I have the Qualcomm one off of Amazon and I honestly believe that it charges quicker.
