I currently have an older 1800mA Kensington battery pack which drains the power on my Tab like nobodies business. I've been looking at a replacement, and have read conflicting reports of these working/not working. Anybody have one that can confirm works with the Tab 2 7.0?
And if it does work, are you using the stock cable?
Trent IMP1000 - http://www.amazon.com/New-Trent-IMP1000-Thunderbolt-Blackberry/dp/B003ZBZ64Q
Incredicharge I-11000 - http://www.amazon.com/Incredicharge-I-11000-External-11000mAh-Blackberry/dp/B006YJEBGK
TIA!
Might not be what you wanted as this only has 5Ah capacity for its 3,7v internal battery, but Sanyo Eneloop KBC-L2B does the job albeit with only 1A ouput (half the original charger rate).
NB : Tested on GT-P5100, should have more or less equivalent results

Ouch, that is quite expensive (or least the one I've found on Amazon is)!
But thanks for confirming there is an alternative, and maybe hope for one of the 2 devices I'm looking at.
Trent iCruiser IMP1000 11000mAh specifications page reveals only 1A output at 5V, meaning it may or may not work depends on the room temperature.
As written on the Tab's original charger, the power controller on the tablet can pull out as much as 2A power from a charger. This means that on a charger (either portable or wallmount) that's only rated at 1A, the charger will work at its maximum capacity. It will all comes down to the build quality of the charger, and mostly its heat dissipation capability. If the charger gets too hot, it will cut of its power.
With that being said, you may wan't to stay away from Incredicharge. There's no written spesification nor contact number on the official page. Getting this is gambling based on customer reviews only.
You might wan't to scout some more alternatives, preferably one with a minimum of 2A output. But if it comes down to those two, Trent iCruiser IMP1000 11000mAh is the better bet.
NB : Original cable works fine.
NB : Just reread my reply, i sound like an old man talking to his grandchild Really sorry about that.
Both of these provide 2A output.
Anker Astro3 10000mAh - $59.99

Ha! No problem on the "advice", and I can probably guarantee I'm older than you, so I'm the one that feels like the grandfather!
I don't think voltage is a major concern, its more the fact that I've read that some Samsung devices simply won't charge because of the data/info being sent from the battery via the cable. Amazon is full of "This doesn't work", which I take with a grain of salt most of the time, but there are enough references to the Galaxy Tab to make me think there might be something in it here.
Either way, I've left it too late to make a decision this time, so I'll revisit when I get back from my travels. Thanks!
I have an isound 8000 mAh external battery. the owners manual says 2.1A output. I have charged my gTAB 2 7.0 (p3110) and my galaxy s (gt-i9000) both from around 15% battery life to full with one light left on the external battery.

No matter how much you try to conserve/sip precious battery power, 1 battery wont be enough for most of us power users. Might i suggest you folks invest in something like Samsung's spare battery charger. I scored one on the bay for $30 bones. Amazon stocks them as well. Now i laugh at trying to be a battery miser all day. With this handy accessory, when i leave for work every day i have 2 batteries charged to 100%.
Being able to charge a spare battery, without it being in the phone is much more efficient. Its very compact when folded down and fits in your pocket with ease. Plus the charger doubles as a stand in portrait or landscape mode and is battery case to boot!
http://www.samsung.com/us/mobile/cell-phones-accessories/ETC-CPK1E1GSTA
Here are some quick pics. If i use the charger that came with the note, i can charge both batteries simultaneously, when the charger is holding the phone in landscape mode. Pretty good deal for less than $30

Yes. If you use your existing note's charger, while the note is being held in landscape by the charger, you can charge both batteries simultaneously. As I stated in my first post, buy from Ebay or Amazon for the best price of $30 or less.
Why not use an external portable charger instead?

I eventually gave in and got this as well with the spare 2500mah battery and I must say I am now completely happy since I'm able to carry two batteries when I need to. I leave one in my car while I'm going around and just switch the batteries off when the other dies and I'm nowhere near a charger.

i have the New Trent iCruiser IMP1000 11000mAh which is an external battery charger AND the extra samsung battery charger plus 3 extra 2500mah batters. the thing with an external battery charger is you will be having that thing plugged into your phone for almost 5-6 hours if you are using the phone while charging. as opposed to about 3 hours if its charged from the charger pack. what ill do is swap out dead battery into the samsung charger, plug that charger into my New Trent via USB cable and leave it charging in my backpack. while that ones charging I put my fresh battery into my note. much more efficient. kinda costly but i prefer to have my phone without a leash all day...
so just to make sure...the actual "dock" does not have a charger connector, but you can put it in landscape mode and plug in a charger into the phone, into the wall, while the spare battery sits in its tray being charged by another separate wall charger?
No, yes and yes. You comprehend correctly.
Ok so I think I am gonna get this since an extended battery just seems way too thick for me to be carrying around. My question is, would it be bad to keep the spare battery in the charger all the time when it is not in use? More than likely I am planning to keep it in there and only take it out when traveling or whenever I need the extra juice. I am planning to just leave it plugged and sitting on my computer desk. Would this hurt the battery in anyway?
Leaving the battery in the charger, while plugged into the wall socket will not hurt the battery. Most lithium ion batteries have built in circuitry that stops the battery from charging, after it has reached a full charge.
Just saw this on HTCpedia:

Seems like HTC is trying to make more money off of making the battery non-removable.

I meant non-removable.
So, lets share what we are/have/will use to keep our phones charged up while on the go!
When I found out that officially, we were getting the non-removable battery, I started hanging out with the One X folks and seeing what they are using and have used. I decided that I didn't need a HUGE battery pack because I do have access to charge at home, in the car, at the office. What I did need was something to fill the gap if I happen to really need power and are not in one of those 3 places.
I decided to get the Anker 5600mAh charger and see how it would work out, supporting my daily use of my Evo 3D. I can say, this thing is AWESOME! Something that was important was charging rate and this charges at 1000mAh output just like the wall charger (*Input is 1.2. A LOT of the chargers on the market are only rated at 800mAh and I didn't want that. There are also a lot that are HUGE but when thinking about how it will be used, I wanted it to be highly portable and reliable.
**Battery pack capacity DOES NOT equal output due to charging loss due to heat and other factors. So the 5600mA pack gives me just about 3 full charges of my 1730mA Evo 3D battery.
I highly, highly recommend this for the value, portability and reliability.
What are you all using??

Think I'm going to buy the same thing. They also make bigger ones, so my only debate is what size to pick. The 5600 seems good because it's small enough and 2 full charges is plenty for an emergency I would think... Either that or the 8400mAh one.

5600 is perfect because it is small and has plenty of juice to save you wherever you are. 2 full charges easy and I'm telling you, it charges as fast (seems like faster) than the wall chargers.

Double check the review on amazon where the guy reposts what the seller stated. 30% is wasted using the charger leaving 70% usable
Took this from the review
""Sorry to hear that this external battery does not satisfy you. The input from AC or laptop to external batteries is 5v, while the output from external batteries to phones is 5.3v. Boosting from 5v to 5.3v and the external battery itself consumes power (about 30%). Therefore, the actual power that can be used to charge other devices is 70% (5600x70%=3920mah). So, this external battery is supposed to be able to charge a 1700mah battery for two times and a little more."
So after reading that I thought about a bigger one just incase.

Dead asus tf101 tablet battery
Would you suggest i buy this external battery pack or buy a new battery? Not sure if the battery is completely dead to revive with charge?
Is there any reason the F to F adapter needs to be USB 3 vs 2? I know I need to use a USB 3 extension cable to deliver the correct signals to the Asus charger to output full current but with a battery pack there's no need I can see.

This is really confusing
They list it as 10Ah, but it has different voltages.
is it 10Ah at 5v, 9v, or 12v?
if it's 10Ah at 5v thats only 50wh, not a huge improvement considering you can carry a smaller charger instead, 16 hours more battery, basically a second tablet + dock cycle
if it's 10Ah at 9v that's good - 29 hours more.
if it's 10Ah at 12v, take my money? 38 hours more.
Sorry if I'm being a downer about the first one, you guys have to remember those 500 cycles will go quicker the lower the capacity is. It could cap off at about 5000 hours before the battery stops holding charge.
I wouldn't buy it

I have some Sanyo Eneloop AA rechargeable batteries here.
1900mAh @ 1.2v.
If I use 3 of these batteries in a series that should equal 5700mAh @ 3.6v, correct?
So I'm thinking that 3 of these batteries should not only make the most powerful battery for the Galaxy Note, but it should also be one of the most reliable and high quality batteries as well (Sanyo Eneloops are VERY nice rechargeable batteries).
I have the extended battery cover from the Tmart 5200mAh battery (cheap battery with incorrect/misleading ratings).
Is there anyway to technically do this?
Thanks! :good:
If you have an extended knowledge of voltage, voltage regulators, circuits and currents, go for it!

I have zero knowledge on this LOL!
I mean I can solder and all...just no electrical knowledge of actually building it.
I was thinking that it would be possible to just run the batteries in series as in:
Phone (+)~~~(+)=Battery A=(-)~~~(+)=Battery B=(-)~~~(+)=Battery C=(-)~~~Phone (-)
Positive from phone to battery A positive...battery A negative to battery B positive...battery B negative to battery C positive...battery C negative to phone negative.

The (+) and (-) of course corrisponding to the batteries and phone plus and negative points.
Just run straight wire's from point A to point B in series...right?
Also how would the 3rd phone lead work? I'm guessing that's the meter or sensor for the battery correct?
I don't know...just a thought...but imagine! It would lead to a class A 5700mAh battery with TRUE ratings and reliable stable batteries that DON'T blow up!
I was totally behind you 100% and was digging this thread .........
....Until you said the batteries WOULDN'T blow up....
/sarcasm
Something someone on another forum:
If you have 3 of those batteries in parallel you are looking at 3x1900mAh @ 1.2v.
If you have 3 of those batteries in series you are looking at 1900mAh @ 3.6v.
You would need 9 batteries (3 in parallel, in series with 2 other identical sets) to get what you wanted originally.
Normally the cellphone batteries have a + - and a T contact. I believe the T contact sends data on charge rate, temperature etc to the phone, and then of course helps with charging also, quite how you would avoid the use of this pin I don't know.
Probably much easier to buy a 3rd party battery that fits the device you want... or one of those USB backup batteries (assuming the device charges from USB)

Well, it was a good idea, but ultimately just not possible...oh well!
how about using a battery that is already at 3.7v? I.e. trustfire etc. etc.
i wouldnt want to carry around that extra bulk tho. they already have external charging packs that you could use and not run the risk or messing up your precious. and not to mention your face and or hands
Why not use 4 battery's at 4.8v connected through USB as a rechargeable booster pack.
External Power Backup For Smart Phones & more
There are a gazillion external battery backups for smart phones so that you do not have to mess around with wiring batteries together.
If you want a USB/AC powered electronic charger and external battery backup (power bank) offering up to 11.200 mah then see this one I found on eBay - the Fujicell 500F. You can charge and power any I-Phone4, I-POD, Android (SAMSUNG, MOTOROLA, NOKIA, BLACKBERRY) Tablet and it can quadruple your talk time. All for $14.97 and free shipping on eBay and I think also on Amazon
I am sold, but you decide for yourself.

Now THERES an idea! Thanks! Will definitely have to look further into this one but what about batteries like these:
http://www.amazon.com/Ultrafire-18650-3000mah-Rechargeable-Battery/dp/B006QQ27BW
3.7v 3000mAh batteries...total of 6000mAh (2 pack)...something that is not only larger than anything for the Note, but also incredibly cheap.
Also if they are a standard size (i.e. AA) then it would be possible to fit at least 3 of this in the Note...so a 9000mAh battery? ****ing awesome.
Anyone know how the size of these compare to a AA battery? Here is a picture of some AA's in the Note (yes I know I would have to create stuff to hold battery in it and what not, its just comparison!).

Plenty of room on the top...probably need to leave some on the side for the (possible) electronics needed for the "T contact" Liggywuh talks about above.
Thoughts??? Could it be possible to maybe build a 9000mAh phone battery???
That would be awesome.

No externals. The point of this was to find a better, more reliable, TRUE high mAh battery.
External power packs are cumbersome and bulk and just more stuff to carry around. I just wanted a better INTERNAL battery.
Love the idea .....
I'll be watching this thread with great interest ..g
Someone on another forum said:
AA == 14mm x 50mm
18650 == 18mm x 65mm
The "T" contact is for a temperature sensor.
Just in case you're under the impression that this is going to be an "it just works" solution, you will never be able to charge this in the phone. If you try, the cell charge levels will unbalance, and in short order, you will be overcharging one cell and overdepleting another. This is what makes lithium batteries violently catch fire. The cellphone's charge circuitry is designed to charge a single cell of a very specific chemistry.
Long story short, this is a bad idea. Just get one of those micro-USB battery extenders.

My response:
Possibly make a separate charger in the battery cover? There's plenty of room in the battery cover. See here for some pictures.
Are you 100% sure in your response? There are many extended battery options for the Note including some like the cheap 5000mAh batteries that are a couple of separate batteries in series, so I'm not entirely convinced of your statement.
How are other batteries technically doing the same thing and yet have no issues with charging and what not?

Like I said, not an entirely convincing argument.
AND TO MAKE A CLEAR POINT! I DO NOT WANT EXTERNAL CHARGERS...I KNOW THEY EXIST AND IF THAT IS WHAT I WAS TRYING TO ACCOMPLISH I'D SIMPLY BUY ONE!
I WANT A LARGER CAPACITY INTERNAL BATTERY!
if you want to stick with an internal and dont want cumbersome then why not use 6 1200 mah aaa batterys for 7200 mah. 1.2v each. 3 wired in seires then parrallel to other 3 will give you same 3.6v as your 3 aa. and they fit better slightly thinner.
build a car batery for the Note that would be awsome with a back pack to carry on the back
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I717 using xda premium
Just saying.
Besides, what's wrong with some of the large capacity replacement batteries? I've seen up to 5000mAh (realistically less, but yeah, it fits without kludgery).
that bag phone is "SEXY".....LOL......sorry
Spare batteries can always be kept in your undies, frees up a ton of pocket space.

I'm torn on this thread. There's a part of me that thinks your crazy for trying this, but the other part of me, the part that's been begging me to tear open my note and mod it, wants you to succeed. Have you ran any tests to see if the 3 AA batteries actually power your note? Also instead of soldering the batteries together, why not go to your local radio shack and pick up a battery holder? Something like this: http://www.amazon.com/Cells-Battery...354724900&sr=8-3&keywords=battery+holder+aa+3
Should only be like $5 at radio shack.
Does anyone have any experience with A Plus products on amazon?
They seem to have a car charger: https://www.amazon.com/Charger-Onep...83&sr=8-1&keywords=oneplus+5+car+dash+charger
and a charging cable: https://www.amazon.com/Oneplus-Cabl...?srs=7297636011&ie=UTF8&qid=1507734706&sr=8-1
I was curious if these are safe for the phone and if they indeed provided dash charging.
No one...?
There is a review on Amazon that states that it does function as far as charging at 3+ amps below 75% charge but no independent verification that the charge rate tapers off as the state of charge exceeds 75% and above. Other eBay sellers are offering the same charger and do indicate that it performs identically to the DASH 1+ branded charger. It is easy enough to verify proper operation by observing the performance with the ampere app though. I saw no reports of obvious failure either. I do not have this charger to actually test so the above is based on what info I could locate with various search terms.
At the price including a DASH cable which is also required for proper functioning it looks like a decent gamble.
Well, The charging tech is supposed to be in the charging brick or the car charger. That's how they get the fast charging with no heat and also charge as fast as when using the device as with the screen off. OnePlus does not release that tech for others to use (their patent I believe) so I do not believe there is anything out there that is truly dash charging. The actual dash car charger is only $30 from OnePlus so for $10 more you get the official one (that's what I did and mine came with the cable too for free). To me it's not worth wasting time and money dealing with claims from amazon sellers.

Yeah, that's a good point. If oneplus had their charger listed on amazon with prime shipping, then it would be an easier choice. But if you add $7 for shipping then it's almost $40... Not sure I can justify spending $40 on a car charger.
It seems it´s the same as this in Aliexpress with another brand:

These DASH charger technology is an OPPO patent on the VOOC tech. What makes it function as a fixed voltage variable current charger is the feedback loop in the cable which is unique to this charging system. As this tech is still under patent protection I would expect these off brand chargers to function as specified but have yet to see any real proof. There are several chargers that are marked "DASH" and listed as such on eBay. OPPO and OnePlus are using this quick charge system and the other phones are using Q2 or Q3 rapid charge.

Well I agreed with you up until you said "I would expect these off brand chargers to function as specified but have yet to see any real proof." I think you meant you WOULDN'T expect. That's because they would have to pay OPPO to use their patent. That would then make those other chargers more expensive.
When you compare the price of the 1+ branded DASH car charger to all of these other knockoffs that claim to function identically then buying one of the knockoff chargers is likely a false economy. Beyond that the charger listed on eBay, from China, was marked on the face DASH and claimed a 5V 3.5A spec. but no actual detailed further info. Several others make the 5V 3.5A claim as well. If OPPO is collecting royalties it has to be minimal. These chargers are at a higher price point than other generic chargers so who really knows. Sooner or later someone will do an in depth review though.
Fast charging lithium batteries is a recent advance and trying to go low cost is not a good idea when dealing with a battery that can combust with no warning.
