I. Like to have a couple around but in my experience have found only OEM batteries are as good as what comes in the box. I'm sure other people have different views!
I haven't seen any info on where to buy these. I didn't see any on eBay or Amazon (yet). Anyone?

I bought a 7000mAh battery pack from Office Depot (the brand is "IO Gear" but I'm sure there are several such products). It cost about $50. The device itself charges via a mini USB and can charge two devices at once via two USB ports that flank the mini USB.
This may or may not be what you need, but I would suggest checking it out. Not only is the battery capacity very large, but you won't have to buy new batteries every time you get a new device. Plus, it's helpful for charging devices that don't have removable batteries, like the current Nexus line-up.

That seems fishy .... 4200 mah? They added 1000 mah in the same form factor? I don't think so.

rule no.1 , never buy batteries from China. good luck. please report how you make out with this one.
Aftermarket batteries are a hit and miss thing. Some have great experiences and some just don't. I haven't gone wit any and after the recent events of exploding phones I tend to be a bit more cautious especially if my phone were to explode I want to make sure I have a solid claim with a true Samsung battery. They are little bombs next to our heads (both of them) you know.

I have been using a gold 4200 mah aftermarket battery in my GN 2 for the past year without a problem. It lasts about 15hrs on an average day. Appreciably longer than the oem batteries which serve as my backup. I've used aftermarket batteries in my last 5 galaxy phone without any problem All came from China. They're pretty inexpensive. and ebay protects your purchase.

I 100% agree with this. Never had a good experience.
The only 3rd party manufacturer I trust when it comes to using non Samsung batteries, is Anker, I'll be waiting for them to produce theirs.

Another issue with aftermarket batteries from Chinese MFG's is under-powering. Batteries need to consistently produce more than the required power to run a device, if a battery fluctuates below this threshold throughout the discharge process it can drastically deteriorate and stress many IO components. Memory, the CPU even simple logic IC's. You may not notice it at first but over time it can kill your device. Very important, and often overlooked for a $30 product on Amazon with no clear MFG docs.

YUP YUP, my buddies and I use ankers, I've been using them in my GSII for quite a while, I would "say" they work better than the OEM batteries. At least 2 AZ summers.
I've all ready had two OEM batteries swell up, my anker is still going strong. I got two anker batteries and a universal charger for $20 for my S2. I don't charge my phone on a cord anymore, I just swap in a new battery every morning and put the semi dead one in the charger.
Unfortunately one anker stopped working because I dropped it in the street one drunken night and apparently some bum walking by, picked it up, thought it might have pure gold contacts and apparently scraped it off.

I have a friend that works at AT&T and he just sent me a pic of this product they just got in. It is a spare battery charging system with the spare battery included and it is listed at $49. It is on the AT&T website just Google "spare battery charging system galaxy note at&t" and it is about the 6th one down.
(Sorry I'm a noob and can't post links.)

personally I'd buy something similar from amazon or ebay before I blow $50 on a charging solution...
OEM original is a huge ripoff!
I bought this, 2 battery with battery charger for only 14.99$ !
I used this battery for 3 days now (I charge it nightly when I go sleep),
and I can't tell the different between this cheap battery and OEM original!
this cheap battery lasts just as long as original OEM!
the battery also weight the same as original, it's possible the battery made by the same company, just a different label.
battery charger works on AC and on car with microusb charging!
I highly recommend it!

The product has been in stores at launch date of the g-note, don't know why your friend's store just now receiving it. As for the item, it does what its design to do. Just make sure to connect it to a charger with more than 500mA or else it will be an all day process. I wouldn't and didn't pay $50 for this product.

If you want the OEM one order it from amazon instead. I bought mine for $30. Better off saving the $20 + tax vs buying it in store, you can pretty much buy 2 for the price of one.

not all non-aftermarket are junk.
I used to have aftermarket battery for Sony x1,
that battery rated the same mAh as OEM
but battery is much lighter and doesn't hold that much charge.
this aftermarket battery for note is heavy, weights the same as OEM.
I have been using this aftermarket battery for 4 days now, it lasts the whole day
I have no need to swap to the other battery. (I charge phone nightly when I go sleep)
I wish someone would make a charging solution that would work with most cases...
Just saw this on Amazon and eBay (can't post links).
Older threads about similar batteries indicate that their true capacity is similar to the OEM battery.
I don't expect this battery can really hold 3500mAh, but could it be at least slightly better than the 2500mAh OEM battery?
Thanks
By the way, is there anything like batteryboss.org for Note batteries?
Since the Note 2 has a 3,100 mAh battery, I wonder if it would fit in ours?
Long shot I suppose, but we will probably start seeing a lot of 3,000+ bats popping up...

I've just been looking at batteries myself and the site you quote above also says:
It is fully compatible with all Samsung Galaxy Note smartphone which take original Samsung part number EB615265VU battery.
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
I get the impression that the serial number is supposed to represent the original Samsung battery part number. What's odd is that the GT-N7000 takes the EB615268VU (and the Note i717 takes EB615268VA) Samsung battery, so whether there is another Galaxy Note model that takes a different battery variant is anyone's guess.
I guess the point is that third-party batteries can carry any serial number they want to put on it, but the proof will only be after you've bought one and used it. I personally don't think they can fit 3500mAh into the battery especially for the prices they quote, but any increase on the stock battery will be nice.
Hello everyone, do you think the Chinese batteries that are 2450mah online from reliable?
someone has got to try them?
I've had a negative experience with a non-Samsung battery - nowhere near rated capacity, overheating. If it were me, I wouldn't use anything other than genuine Samsung batteries (& haven't other than that one occasion & I returned the battery/got a refund), tho YMMV obviously.

I have the Samsung 2000 mah, worth every dollar. Brilliant extension of battery life, had it nearly a year and still going strong. Dont bother if your phone is riddled with wakelocks etc, you're better off getting rid of those vs. buying a bigger battery.
But you guys, but do you think the batteries samsung where they are produced? read read ..
What does where they're manufactured have to do with anything - you do realise why they're produced in those places ? (Relatively cheap labour/closer to supply chain).
It's the quality of the manufacture, materials & quality control you're paying for when you buy a genuine battery. And non-genuine batteries are often hit & miss for those reasons.

If you're basing that on personal experience with non - Samsung batteries, I'd be inclined to think you got lucky. More often than not a non genuine battery will be significantly less than claimed capacity, vs Samsung ones which are very close to claimed capacities. I don't bother unless it's genuine now.

Well FYI buddy I am talking from experience(multiple times) and I am pretty sure MistahBungle is also talking after having several experiences with non-original batteries.
As he said non-original batteries are hit and miss deals.
Sent from my GT-I9100 using xda app-developers app
To suggest all/many/most non-genuine batteries are of the same quality/reliability/at or close to rated capacity compared to genuine batteries is a blanket statement which isn't grounded in fact. Read threads on here/elsewhere & the real world experience is this:-
*99% of people who buy genuine batteries find them to perform exactly as they'd expect (be reliable/durable, able to hold a charge, not overheat, at or near rated capacity), the other 1% (should) get refunds or exchanges.
*Anything up to 30-40% of people who buy non-genuine batteries seem to have issues with them at some point, whether it's right off the bat (as soon as they start using them) or within a reasonable period of time after buying them.
The rub is, if you buy a genuine battery, you know exactly what you're getting almost all of the time, and you can easily get a refund or replacement if you don't get that. If you buy a no-name from little E big B/elsewhere, you may not be able to do that easily. Yes, the battery might perform as you'd expect a genuine battery to (tho very very few end up at the rated capacity on the outside of the battery, I.E rated 3500mAH, you're lucky if you get 2800), but there's a not unsubstantial chance it won't. Which means you have to go thru hassles to get it replace/refunded, and you don't have a spare battery or whatever in the meantime.
So that makes the question, do you want to take that risk ? Me (and lots of other people - you did ask for opinions after all), I'd rather pay the extra $15-$20 & buy a genuine battery (or two or more), or even the extended power pack if you really need a lot of juice & can't get near a power source to recharge (If that was something you did a lot, a 3rd party power 'brick' from a reputable company is worth exploring, as would a solar charger if you spend time outdoors/away from mains power).
Yes, but do you think the price is correct as the original battery 2000mah for samsung 40 €? when that is 1650mah from the 13 euro?
then it is no exaggeration to have longer life?
I wouldn't pay €40 for a 2000mAh genuine battery, no. I can get them for $30-$35 in Australia which is €25-30. If you shop around online, you may be able to get one near that price if you find somewhere who does cheap or free shipping.
With regard to the longer life, as you'd expect (and this is my RW experience), the 2000mAh battery gives you around 20% more juice/usage.
Edit - If you can get 1650mAh genuine batteries for 13 Euro, why not load up on those ? You could get two & have 65% more juice than the 2000mAh battery and still save €14 (Or are you talking about non-genuine 1650mAh batteries for €13 ?)

in fact, the best price samsung original battery 2000mah that I found on the net is 30-35 €. with the same money I buy 2 1650
I have contacted Anker about getting a couple of batteries at a lower price and was told that they will give me a discount, what happened is the rep quoted me a discount price that is higher by $5 than their amazon store and for the battery charger i have asked, they provided me with an old battery charger (71UN42V06-WUCA) that cannot charge the Note battery.
When i emailed them back I got a reply that indeed it can't charge the note 3 battery. Just imagine if i didn't do my research i would have been ripped of by them!
i had an issue with their USB hub. i contacted them and they issued me a quick refund. couldn't have asked for better customer service.
+1 for their Customer Service, it is bar none. They are the only company that offers 18 months warranty on every product their sell. We had a lot of discussions in Note 2 section of the forum about their service, lots of people chimed in to support it. Someone even misused a charger to the point where they thought it affected their phone, Anker guys actually offered to cover a repair bill for the phone (even so it wasn't their fault).
It sucks that you had a bad experience, but I would suggest contacting them again and send a link to this forum post. I'm sure they will make it right by you.
Um Anker has phenomenal customer service...
Sucks you had a bad experience but I have also been in your situation about price matching the batteries and also I ordered the wrong charger cause it wouldn't fully charge my battery (back during s4).
They resolved both issues effectively. They let me return my original purchase and repurchase the combo pack which was the same price as just one battery alone. And they made sure that I got the correct charger.
Anker is the only third party battery manufacturer that I would buy batteries from. I even bought an external Astro 12000maH charger and its excellent.

Well I use Anker batteries from quite a long time and i dont have any issue regarding the product quality, and as per regarding their customer services... I have not heard anything odd from anyone about this...and in most of the cases it is heard to be known very co operative one....So +1 for anker's customer service....
Haven't used Anker since the Captivate days, but I had 2 of their batteries. One started to swell so I contacted them and sent a pic. They replaced it with a new battery in retail packaging quickly. Don't have anything bad to say about them.
I would chalk this up to miscommunication rather than a rip off.
Emailing them for a bundled price and getting quoted a few dollars above the normal retail price and including a battery charger that doesn't charge the battery is definitely not miscommunication, at the best I will call it sloppy. Well it seems like they are efficient in cleaning up their mess when they make a mistake which is a good thing.
I use to own 4 N7000 batteries by anker and all worked well for a year before it bloats up, unfortunately I am unable to ship it back to to them overseas as my country's postal services do not allow it so I can't comment on their after service. However to add on about the batteries that I got from them, they do not seem to have a proper discharge circuit where it shuts down when there is a little battery charge left like the official Samsung battery, causing the screen on the phone to be wavy /flicker.

Anker makes the best external battery pack .
I had bad experience with Anker. I wanted to buy a couple of battery packs as gifts and contacted them to see if they can offer me discounts. I got reply from a rep and she quoted me discount price (which I found it's even higher than their amazon store). And when I received the package, it was disappointing that two of the boxes were broken. I was worried that the battery pack may be broken. I opened one of the box, and what happened is there are scratches and fingerprints around the surface. It's totally an used one. I bought it as a gift!!!!!

If your company(Anker) is so good do you have to resort to creating fake accounts to say your company is the best? Probably not. Such dishonest behaviour only says more Anker and their practices.

Many of the threads discussing battery replacements in this section are dispersed and old.
However,
I'm asking for help with updated opinions/recommendations/insights please.
I have a Note 3 (5.0) N9005 - original Samsung battery, and it needs replacement.
Problem: As I have a spigen neo hybrid case, I want a battery that fits into the original note 3 cover.
I am looking for safe bets - companies whose batteries are not risky nor untested by members.
Obviously there is the option of another stock Samsung original - but are there established/safe alternatives that will give me better 'juice' than stock, but still fit in the original cover?
My thanks to any that are willing to share their advice/opinions & contribute.

I just recently bought a anker for my note 3 they are trusted and a very respected company. Look for a anker on amazon for your note 3. Yes it will fit same exact size. I use to have neo hybrid. They give you a warranty as well.

Why did you choose the anker over stock?
On the anker website - there also have customer reviews of each product. Some of the note 3 battery reviews are quite poor?
I chose anker because my brother bought one for his note 4 I already knew of anker and needed a battery, he said it was great. Reviews are hit and miss take them with a grain of salt, I've bought a power add Apollo charger and love it works flawless yet on amazon where I bought it many reviews are negative. Also companies can and do hire people for good and bad reviews. The original battery is hard to find unless you directly contact Samsung they can be rather annoying with customer service with my run ins I've had with them over chargers. Most if not all Samsung OEM for note 3 on amazon are knock offs there fake. If I'm unhappy with the battery I can still return it, they gave me and everyone a warranty, they have good packaging and they only use grade A cells, from what I've experienced and my brother I believe they are great. I hope this helps if you need more info message me anytime.

Anker for me long time user.
I'm interested in finding a solution that genuinely gives me an advantage over a samsung oem battery.
Is it true that no oem batteries were produced after 2014?
The manufacture date is printed on the battery. One of the things pushingme away from oem is that they will be 2-3 years old, and kept in storage for a long time.

Thanks mod. Was worried that viewers would loose interest in my thread!
I havr a question for those with a sammy oem battery. The date of manufacture is printed on the battery. Does anybody have one dated later than 2014???

Thank you for the info, I always thought that any non-samsung battery may run the risk of setting fire to your phone. I'll have to give that one a try

Do these fit in the original case? Any overheating issues?

Many of the threads discussing battery replacements in this section are dispersed and old.
However,
I'm asking for help with updated opinions/recommendations/insights please.
I have a Note 3 (5.0) N9005 - original Samsung battery, and it needs replacement.
Problem: As I have a spigen neo hybrid case, I want a battery that fits into the original note 3 cover.
I am looking for safe bets - companies whose batteries are not risky nor untested by members.
Obviously there is the option of another stock Samsung original - but are there established/safe alternatives that will give me better 'juice' than stock, but still fit in the original cover?
My thanks to any that are willing to share their advice/opinions & contribute.

Now, I see that you want a battery that fits the original cover, but many folks here can recommend the ZeroLemon 10 000 mAh battery. I'm using one.
Advantages:
+ comes with a dual layer TPU case with hard plastic shell;
+ you can get 2 to 3 days of extremely heavy usage, 5, if you are moderate, and a whole week with light usage (once did 6 days with 38% battery left, got tired of trying to drain it all the way and charged it, screenshots attached).
Disadvantages:
- the thing becomes really ugly, thick and heavy, you better have big pockets and strong belts. Yes, that's the only disadvantage. Well, if you change SD or SIM cards frequently, that would be a disadvantage too.
After the first calibration charges and discharges of the battery, it takes some 6 hours to charge from 0 to 100%, but 6 hours of charging for 3 days of extreme usage - that's more than a fair deal for me.
I'm in two minds. Oem vs third party.
Problem with oems are, it seems that the last production run was 2014???
Is it really the case that I'd have to purchase a two year old battery that has been in storage for that time?
First of all I checked my original battery and there is no manufacturing date that I can see, the closest I can come to date is serial number, but no idea how to decode it. Did they put manufacturing date later on?
2. if you want/need original size don't expect big capacity improvements: same size will have similar capacity give or take tolerances and chemistry need to be similar due to charging/ voltage.
3. Especially in the phone which is charged almost daily, number of cycles is more important than age. I have Li ion batteries probably almost 10 yrs old that still work, more or less.
4. There was suspicion that some OEM batt sold around were used and therefore already partially worn out.
5. If you use NFC, make sure the new battery has NFC antenna, some don't and NFC won't work there.
I bought battery called Stalion for about $10, it has NFC antenna, it holds charge as well as new OEM and if it wears out faster than OEM ( so far all's good, 6 months and counting) I'll buy new one for $10, not worth worrying about.
But if Note 6 will be as good as the rumors suggest this is all non issue in 3 months anyway.

Can you give me some more info on no. 4. his is new to me.
When I was looking for OEM batteries on Amazon (some stuff is sold by Amazon partners, not Amazon directly BTW ) some people left comments that batt. they got lasted less than old one they just replaced, some commented that they see scratches, like they were used, some said they didn't get original packaging, another commented that advertising never said those were brand new etc. etc. while others had no problem . Actually if what you said is true about OEM ending production in 2014, all those negative comments begin to make sense. At the end all those negative comments turned me off, to the point I bought off brand (Stalion) and I'm pretty happy with it.
for example here http://www.amazon.com/Samsung-Galaxy-Note-Standard-Battery/dp/B00F3583S8 22% gave 1 star, that's one in five.
I like Anker but little luck with this phone for some reason . One works and other doesn't. The Anker do have NFC. Problem with OEM is that most are fake. Have several of those and 2/3 didn't last a month.
