Does anyone know if the charger pack u charge to act as a charger for your phone (when not near electricity)is compatible with the note? I've seen them but i didn't know if they are compatible with the note since it has such a large battery. Also does anyone have a link to one?

I just bought this Anker one from Amazon. Reviews are almost overwhelmingly positive and I can confirm that it does work on the Note just as well as it works on my Atrix 4G.
http://www.amazon.com/Anker-5600mAh...5?s=electronics&ie=UTF8&qid=1330474615&sr=1-5
Does the higher the amount of mah on the battery pack equate to numerous recharges for your phone(depending on the phone's battery mah)?
Sent from my Galaxy Note
Yup. It's just shy of three full charges for my Atrix, which has a ~1900mAh battery. Should be two charges for a Note, give or take a little bit.
That's great! I just saw one on amazon with 11200 mah for $69 i think im going to get it.

How long is the charge time on yours? I've never had one so i don't the slightest idea of how long it could take to charge one.
Sent from my Galaxy Note
I was going to get that one, but it was just too huge. I can slip the Anker 5600 I bought into a jacket or pants pocket with the cable and it's just fine. No problems with portability. Charge time is equal to what it'd be from an AC charger in my experience so far, but I only got mine a few days ago.
I meant wats the charge time of the battery pack?
Sent from my Galaxy Note
Haha...sorry. It was about half-charged when I got it (2/4 indicator lights) and took two hours to charge to four lights.
I got the mycharge ones since the cables are built in. 3Ah and 6Ah depending on my needs (1 or 2 nights). I like them even though they aren't 10Ah monsters.

Just ordered the anker. I appreciate the info.

Does it hold the charge or do you constantly have to recharge it?

Most portable USB battery chargers do not support the signals that allow the Note to go to high current charge mode. Pins 2 and 3 of the USB connection need to be shorted with a low resistance. The Note senses this and switches on a high charge otherwise, it will stick to a standard USB charge of less than 500ma even if the battery charger can put out 1A.
I bought a Scosche 5000 mah portable battery charger that comes with a special USB adapter designed for the Galaxy Tab. I tested it with my Note. With the adapter, the Note charges in under four hours. Without the adapter, it takes overnight to charge the Note even though the Scosche has a USB port that puts out 2.1A to charge an Ipad.
Staples sells the Scosche battery for $80 but there is a $29 online coupon that is good until 3/5/2012.
Hmm... I have a rechargeable battery from Monoprice that I use with my iPhone 4 but I haven't tried it with my Note yet. It will probably only charge the battery about half way. Monoprice has good cheap rechargeable batteries to charge on the go if anyone is looking for something similar.
After a few more days with the Anker, it charges my Atrix and my Vivid at least as fast as my AC charger. Probably placebo effect, but it honestly feels like it charges it faster.
Why not just carry a couple of extra batteries and get a charging station for them? Seems cumbersome to have to have one of these attached to your device when you need more juice, when swapping out a battery is quick and has an instant full charge...?

If you're gonna carry something anyway you might as well just have a single, spare battery instead of a power pack plus a cable. The Note has such an easy back to pull off and swap. Bing-bang-boom.

As someone who used to do this exact same thing with the captivate, it's definitely convenient to carry, however the interruption while you take off the case, remove the cover, replace the battery/reboot, can get annoying especiallky if you're right in the middle of doing something.
I'm getting ready to take a long plane flight, and I bought some battery packs from monoprice just now, with the intention of using one of them up front while I use the phone, so we'll see how that goes.

Note sure if it's just me, but the minute or so that my phone is down to swap the battery and reboot seems much more appealing and convenient than having a battery pack dangling by a cord from my phone for multiple hours while it charges, or keeps it charged.
Not to mention how many spare batteries you could buy for the price of one external battery pack.

I actually agree partially, however I just found out that monoprice.com sells 2800mah battery packs for like $13 each. I just bought three:
http://www.monoprice.com/products/p...=10833&cs_id=1083311&p_id=7664&seq=1&format=2
That said, I likely will still buy an extra regular battery that I can just carry in my pocket. The main reason I'm going with the external batteries is because I'm getting ready to go on a trip with 15 month old twins to europe, and I can use these external packs to power up both my phone, and my touchpad (Which I need for playing childrens shows)
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.
http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B006J90GBY/
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
Could you please give me your opinion on which one you would get for reliability and performance? I personally do not like the hump look on my galaxy note and rather have an extra batteries or power bank when I can't find an AC outlet and for travel. I've narrowed my choice to the following (can't post links; too little post):
Hyperion Samsung Galaxy Note 2 x Battery + Charger [amazon - $19.99]
Anker® 2x2700mAh Li-ion Battery For Samsung Galaxy Note Batteries for AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note + Anker USB Travel Charger [amazon - $24.99]
New Trent IMP120D iCarrier 12000mAh Heavy Duty 2A/1A Dual USB Ports External Battery Pack [amazon - $76.95]
Extra batteries are the best method I've found ...as you can store 2 or 3 in a pocket ....then charge later when you get to a power supply ...g
Extra batteries without a doubt, I have 3 extras so at least 2 are always charged in case of emergency. Very cheap too
I use a solar powered battery backup/charger, got it for only $18 and it already saved me a bunch. Not sure if I'm allowed to post the link though, google search "Solar Powered Backup Battery And Charger"
I have the anker 2 2500ma + charger kit off amazon. Works great. 1 caveat though. The wear and tear on battery cover from.removing the back will eventually wear out the tabs that lock it in place. I have already went through one of the flip cover cases because of this. Currently using the stock cover and notice oonly a little wear at this time.
I have this and love it. http://m.bestbuy.com/m/e/product/detail.jsp?skuId=3386191&pid=1218397307007
Charges a phone and has a 2.1 amp port for a tablet. Holds 6600 mah of power so it will charge the note 2.5+ times.

I decided to get the New Trent iGeek IMP99D 9900mAh External Battery Pack with free New Trent 5200mAh. It was on special on Amazon. It seemed to be the best for portability and convenience. Had the charger came with the ability to charge 2/3 batteries simultaneously, I would have gone with the extra batteries. I rather plug once over night and be done charging next morning instead of standing by to complete charging and swapping each batteries.

Test results:
Using 2 Amp USB port - 25% to 99% charge took just 5 hours 7 minutes.
Using 1 Amp USB port - 14% to 100% charge took 4 hours and 42 minutes.
Using Samsung supplied charger/cable - 21% to 95% took 2 hours 7 minutes.
Conclusions:
1. No difference in charge rate using 1 Amp vs 2 Amp USB port.
2. Battery pack takes twice as long to charge than the wall charger.
3. 9900mAh gaurantees at least two full charges.
So is this what I shoud typically expect from a 9900 mAh external power pack? Please share your experience. Is there a way to increase my charge rate using the battery pack?
I have an extra battery and would like to charge it outside of the Note 3. Anybody have any reccomendations for a charger?

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:
* This item is Compatible with the ZeroLemon Worlds Highest Capacity Extended battery for the Galaxy note 3 N9000
* This item is compatible with OEM versions of the battery, ZeroLemon's Slim battery and even the EXTENDED battery!
* Automatically stops charging when battery is full. FASTEST CHARGER ON THE MARKET
* Red Color designed for uniqueness and visibility.
* Input: 100-240 V - 50/60HZ 200 mA / USB Output: 5.0V 1000 mAh / Charger Dock Output: 4.2V 600mAh
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?
