Anyone try powerbank? - Galaxy Note 3 Accessories

I've not seen any reviews of this product other than the 4 opinions on Amazon. Looks like the battery is pretty small, so it'll only add 50 percent or so. But on the otherhand, that keeps the battery on the smaller side.

for 30$, you should be able to buy a 10Ah power bank. 3.8 is way too small for that amount of money.

Anybody have recommendations for mobile power packs? Thinking about purchasing one of these for a camping excursion where there won't be any electrical outlets.

Let me know how you like it.
I picked up this at Wal-Mart, it's a solar powered charger with a battery.

They have a few other that are more powerful also.

Have you had a chance to use it yet? Thoughts?

Recieved mine today. I'm in the process of reviewing its performance right now. I'll post tomorrow my results since I don't think its possible to drain it by tonight. I am leaving screen brightness %100, no dim or screen lock, 4g constantly on, live wall paper, and doing whatever else I can to REALLY put it to the test. None of this standby 15 min of internet 2 phone calls stuff. Battery monitor shows 650+ positive mA with all this going on if that means anything. Still learning.
First impression is its well made. It's definitely not a shoddy slap together item. Thought went behind design and usability. We shall see about performance. The case is attractive. Hard plastic, not flimsy at all. It's about an inch wider then EVO and 2inches smaller then its length. Perfectly square. Thickness is 2 EVO's stacked. It is alittle heavy. Someone said it was 10oz. So overall its way small for the juice your getting. Not to heavy. This is a battery after all.
The packaging was nice. A cardboard setup like the EVO where it slides out. Real packaging. Peel off sticker guards to prevent scratches. Come with 2 adapters and a charger. All is included to charge EVO. I'll end here and post performance of this device tomorrow.

Thanks for the review.
Well I've been using it constantly all day today from my first full charge. Been 11 hours and its at 50%. That's with screen brightness 100%, no dim/lock, live wallpaper, 4g constantly on. All that while using my phone for browsing the web, netflix, 3d camera, ect. I've been using my phone constantly as in non stop. So in all reality its not possible to use this up in one day of constant HEAVY usage. I have to fully recommend this product. Obviously I don't know about longevity but from what I've experienced so far I'm guessing it will last a long time. If you have any specific question ill do my best to help.

Same here... no picture posted yet, but i am sure it is going to be a very big one indeed.
It says it is 2.5 times more powerful than the original.
Though could be very indispensable for summer travellings and countryside picknicks far from civilization, but still to enjoy connected and secure feeling
Well, the 1900 mah one works great so far. It's quite possible that it will work as advertised.
Dang I'd buy it if it were in stock

The OEM Extended battery is big enough and I believe that was 2700mAh? I couldn't imagine how monstrous this thing must be, even if they do find a way to slim it down.
I suppose they could pull it off if they punched more holes in the layers and stuffed in some silicone. They'd be able to make it nearly the same size as the original OEM battery. I just don't think battery companies are doing that yet.
That's one enormous and expensive battery there. Having the oem extended battery, I don't know if I could take a much bigger battery, but it would depends on exactly how much bigger we're talking. The oem one gets me through 98% of days with absolutely no problem. The price would have to be a major consideration as well at almost 100 dollars.

wow epic battery life. Lol. My OEM extended battery lasts my just about 48 hours, I could only imagine how long that one would last, idk maybe 72!

I hope Mugen comes out with a battery that lasts a full year without recharging. I would pay $45,000 for it.
I wish they wouldn't charge so much for extended batteries.

lol it would be the size of a small horse! maybe you could ride it to work..............
i think we're getting somewhere...
That'd definitely be useful for people like me who love to run their phone at full speed and full brightness, but aren't near a power source most of the time. I only use my extended when I know I'm going to be out for awhile since it's such a beast, I can't imagine how huge this thing is going to be!
I just put in an order for mine should be here by end of april
Are they trying to bring the bagphone back? That's gotta be ginormous.
Thanks! gonna order a 1900 as soon as they are available
I ordered a Mugen Power 1900 mAh battery from a reputable vendor on ebay. It shipped and should be here by Thursday. It was even a few bucks cheaper than what the Mugen Power website was selling. They have over 10 of them in stock, according to the listing.
I also ordered the Mugen Power 4000 mAh battery from their website. It won't ship for a few weeks since the battery is on backorder.
I hope to do some comparative tests, like I did for my old Droid Razr, as well as a video review. But that will be next month, likely.

here's to hoping it's just creatively shaped... I feel like there's a lot of unused space behind the extended battery cover that a manufacturer could take advantage of (albeit a bit costly...)
UPDATE: Mugen says 4000 mAh battery is strong enough to power your car. Details here: http://www.thatbatteryistooEffinbig.com
how does this battery compare to the normal extended battery? would it fit in the case for the extended battery?

Dunno, 4000(mugen) - 2750(oem) = 1350 advantage(almost a standard battery) ...no pictures as of yet for size, but trust me I'll post a decent review when I get it sometime either this month or next. When ever the hell they get it to me.

Edit: math is off, I've been up for 30+ hours its 1250 advantage

Extended Battery

I went in to VZW to get a car dock but I also wanted to check out the extended battery and how it would look with the extra. batt. door. The lady was nice and brought out a 2100 mAH and door so I can see/feel how it looks on the Dinc4G. I was actually impressed it didn't look all that bulky and it offered better protection around the camera lenses.
I was hoping the battery life would be so good that I wouldn't need the bigger battery...but you know, the battery life IS really good but I think I'm going back to get the bigger batt. anyway because then battery life will be great! And I think it'll be a little better to have something to hold onto since the phone is so thin (I don't use any phone cover).
Only a 400 mah difference? Wow.. I hope the battery is not huge with that little jump

Extended Battery Pics
vzw kind of screwed up my purchase and threw in an extended battery to help compensate me. Here are some pics. I haven't fully charged it to see what run-time difference there is yet, but this sucker is pretty big! I think too big for my use (I'm used to the svelte Inc2). Idk, maybe I'll use it if I'm at a trade show or traveling, but not for everyday use. ...hoping to load a ROM with better brightness control like CM7 has to increase my battery life...

Yea I think the extended battery is just big enough where it's not too big...but I'm coming from the Thunderbolt so there's that too. For me, it'll be handy to have the extended when I'm in the mountains because what I'm finding is the 1700 mAh battery isn't lasting as long in 1X, with Hotspot it takes longer with data transfer and I'm getting about 1/2 the battery life I was getting in 4G.
From the pics there is no NFC with the extended battery cover...

Why do you say that? I bought one and if you're talking about the antenna on the right side, there indeed is one. It is covered with black silkscreen or something so it's covered a little bit but it's there.

Extended Battery Packs

I'm keeping an eye out for the availability of some power jacket extended battery packs.
Below are a couple of examples of solutions that are available for the standard Xperia Z.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bearcXdXdAc
http://www.youtube.com/watch?feature=player_embedded&v=6rE0Z0yczws
The first one is a generic Chinease one that is about availiable on ebay for about $25
The second one is the official mugen one that has recently come out.
Personally I think I prefer the cheep Chinese one. Anyway its all academic at the moment because there are no solutions out yet for the Ultra. Its pretty new out mind so I suspect that when the LTE models launch globally we will see such solutions. :good:
Would you consider using such a solution for your Ultra?
These stuffs does give the phone some extra weight, some may like it for easier handling due to it having more weight but kinds of defeats the purpose of the ZU design.
I'm currently using a 15000mAh powerbank with 2.1A and 1A output options.

You're talking to a man who has a 9000mAH Zerolemon battery on his Note 2
Each to his own of course but my personal preference is to have a powerjacket attached to the device rather than carry around a separate power bank.

Haha no worries, I owned one of the powerjackets for my Note 2 or was it S3, I'm fine with it but just speaking out generally since many users are going for thinner and thinner designs
I generally don't mind added thickness and weight, phones these days are going so thin and light, it makes me feel insecure holding them lol.

Yeah, Its just a shame they didn't see fit to make a bit thicker and go for a 4000 mAh battery.

I was kind of excited when you posted this thread but when I saw the battery capacity and I went "mehhhh"
Cos anything equal to or less than the phone's own capacity.. is a little on the low side. Most of the time we will use the phone and use the power jack at the same time, which means even if it's equal to the phone's 3000mAh it would probably be able to charge it from 1% to say 50% only. Still useful in emergency times (beggars can't be choosers) but like you said, maybe 4000-5000mAh may be a better option considering these cheap China makes usually overstate their capacity and the battery degrades rather fast too.

Well they certainly have more surface area to play with on the Ultra, so lets hope the capacities supplied will be bigger. That's kind of too logical to be a reality though lol
How about this one?

Solar Panel Power Bank External Battery

Tried searching but search is down or something as it gives error.....
Any experiences with using these?
10,000 or 30,000 mAh versions?
the 30,000 version don't seem to be proper 30,000 though but are they still better than a 10,000?
they are roughly the same price on ebay and look the same.............
any suggestions as to any other SPPBEB's?
Thanks
I use an assortment of Ebay and other sourced battery packs. On some level they all lie about the capacity or they forget to mention the loss you get on the poor cables they include.I have resorted to carry around two or more battery packs ranging from 6000 mAh to an Ebay special 20000 mAh I suspect the last one is not more than 10000 mAh but they all work well enough. I prefer to have a few at hand as to one large one. When traveling you may use up the large one and your device but only have once charging point.
How to buy 10000 mah?
