My personal experience with 3rd party extended batteries has been wide ranging from having a winner to getting ripped off. Personally I have only found 3 brands that I trust other than Samsung; Anker, Hyperion, and AceSoft. I didn't realize it until searching that AceSoft has their own store online that actually had better deals than people selling their batteries on eBay. I ordered one of the 3660mah NFC capable batteries. I will try to post a thorough review here when I get it including testing the nfc capability.

correct. They have one that does have NFC for about 6 dollars more
Thank you. I'll keep an eye on it. Hopefully price will go down.
Yes I got the one with nfc and it includes a charger. I think they are selling the nfc version on eBay for the same or higher and doesn't include a charger. It does use the stock back. Trying to stay away from pregnant phones these days.

Curious if this is really 3660. If my stock battery usually lasts 24 hours, am I correct in assuming this would give me an additional 3-4 hours?
Edit
I noticed that on Amazon it says that these batteries are 3300. I guessing that is more realistic, since 3660 seemed too good to be true.
I don't know if the one I bought is the same as the ones listed on Amazon as 3300mah. I sent a message to AceSoft asking them about it. If the battery doesn't perform at least a little better than stock and I am going to contact them about a refund as I can get the 3300mah cheaper on amazon. If it performs like it should so that I won't be retuning it, I will peel the paper and look to see of the mah is stamped under it. I was going to do that first but they have a one of those tags on the paper seam so they can tell if you have broken the seal.
Update: The person I contacted at AceSoft stated that they have both the 3300mah and the 3660mAh batteries.
I'm also very curious as to the battery improvements of this battery.

Hi
Anyone tried the QCell X-Life 5600mAh battery?

Looks like they have a 4150mAh and also 5600mAh and this is OEM grade. Anyone can comment?

I'm going to have to say the battery butt, because I bought the Q-Cell 4150 mAh extended battery and it looked exactly the same as the one listed above.
As for the battery it self however, I'm a bit skeptical about the amount it has stored within.

There are several of the 5x00 batteries out there. I bought the <$10 and have been very satisfied with its performance. I used Juice Offender on it to drain it and it lasted 5 hours with flash on, white screen on bright, vibration going, CPU maxed out, wifi/BT turned on. Quite impressive.
The fact that the common complaint of the back not fitting leads me to believe these are all likely coming out of the same chineese factory with a different label being placed on them. $10-$20 for a decent multiday battery is hard to complain about.
As for the back not fitting...
snap top side in. Slide fingers down the back from top to bottom clicking the tabs in. It will likely take a few tries but you can usually get it to click in securely if you do it just right, almost massaging from top to bottom. If you just push on the bottom it kinda clicks in until you let go then pops out. Mine did the same thing and I was ticked about it until I found others explaining how you have to mess with it a bit, GOOD LUCK!

When it comes to extended capacity batteries the two major brands in this regard that I know of is Mugen and Seidio. They're legit.

Yup, Mugen is the best. That is why they can charge $90. Fake counterfeit batteries are usually in the $10-$15 range. These are quality batteries. If you want quality then this is the one to go for.

Anker makes great batteries. I work in batteries and we tested some Anker batteries on our Cadex 7400er and they are everything they claim. The cheap ebay extended batteries usually have less capacity than a stock battery.

Just wondering if anyone knows of an extended battery that is no larger than twice the size of an original stock battery...reason I ask is I have a case which I like to use but doesn't accommodate the normal 5000 to 5200mAh extended batteries you find on eBay..they are much thicker...only one I have seen that is this size I need which is approximately 1cm thick is the mugen power but that battery is way overpriced...if anyone could help me find a cheaper alternative would greatly appreciate it...thanks

My 2700 Anker made a noticeable difference. The phone was only a few months old when I got it so I'd guess the stock battery was fine.
This one actually fits (does not need a bulky battery cover) and is 3030 mAh for only $5.60 with free shipping!!!! http://dx.com/215304
I've been using it for several months now and i'm HAPPY HAPPY HAPPY with it!!!! (But I still carry the original fully charged in my pocket because sometimes I just use my Note too darn much while spending a day away from home. Even with GPS/Wi-Fi off and power saving mode and automatic brightness and auto-rotation off, and all redundant background apps frozen, etc., I still end up going through a full charge sometimes, though seldom, thanks to this high capacity battery. Must be the LTE 4G data link draining it.)
This battery fits both the i9220 and i717

I agree and am equally as skeptical. They are fake in that the posted mah probably isn't 3030. But I have heard they are indeed larger than the stock battery...just not the posted 3030mah. may be somewhere around 2700 to 2800 mah. Of course this is just what I've heard from a friend.
But if someone can post some proof of better battery life with these things than that would be appreciated

No way these can be worth a crap, right? I mean, $7???
I have found the original note 2, s2, and s3 batteries for about $4 a piece if you order from Samsung (Korea) directly
I ordered these today and although they are not NFC enabled, when at conventions where I am on my phone for over 14 hours straight without charging it, anything that allows me to use my phone will work. Hopefully these aren't crap and only last an hour.

this. buy a $750 phone and drop a $7 battery in it doesnt quite make sense to me. i canceled my order.
I bought the Onite set up like this for 12 dollars and they worked better than the Samsung battery on my Note 2. So this isn't so crazy. I think I will wait a bit before ordering and see if Onite comes out with the same thing. The Hyperion for $35 seems a little expensive.
It's probably this cheap because they order a bunch, but who knows. I pre-ordered some. If it sucks, then it sucks. Otherwise, a good deal.

i agree with some other users. how can they increase 1/3 power and not increase size.
also, take a look at the sellers bad feedback. they ALL state the extended batteries they purchased did not last as OEM batteries.
I'd steer clear.

I only trust
mugen and worcell batteries providers, however, since the Note 2 battery was great, i did not need a larger capacity.
Just got my Note 3 and waiting for PDAIR case before using it full time and the battery seem pretty good as well.
In all honesty, I one minor update that I wish the Note 3 had was a battery >3500mah. look at the jump from Note 1 2500mah to Note 2 3100mah to Note 3 3200mah.
still is a better than average decent size though.
Mugen is considered an over rated battery peel back the label on them plus 100 dollars for a battery, most people don't keep a phone longer than 6 months. yeah rip off there are countless threads about this everywhere.
It's just like zero lemon vs mugen.
With the note 2 so many people have talked about this but for price over performance it only makes sense to pay $40 and get 3 times the capacity of the original verses 2 times the capacity and sixty dollars more then the ZL battery.
