Amazon type in Mondpalast @ 2 x Replacement battery 3000mAh for Lg G3 D855 D830 VS985 F400 D850 + Charger + UK adapter
3000MaH batteries with a charger, always keep a spare on me and the battery life is no difference to me than the original LG G3 battery. Bargain for what it is!

It may not be listed, but if it works in other G3 variants it will work in the D851.

It should work with that variant, if you can get it I highly recommend it, it doesn't overcharge the batteries therefore maintains a better health in the long run. It may not say your variant because I think its a USA LG G3, and I am in the UK and they listed the most popular variants here. If such problems you can always return, should be 100% ok.
I'm confused... Why don't you just get another original battery... ?
I got that original battery from Amazon for $11 shipped and it work great. NFC is working too. I thought all those third party batteries NFC will not work.

NFC is not built into the battery on the G3. It's in the sticker on the back cover.

I don't know what country you're in but here in Spain we have Amazon: batería acumulador original LG BL-53YH EAC6237870 Li-Ion para LG D855 G3 https://www.amazon.es/dp/B00MEUQZGW/ref=cm_sw_r_awd_8UxXub1RMT9CZ

I'm thinking about ordering the Anker 3000mAh Li-ion Battery, but I'm also considering getting (preferably) the, Perfine 3000mAh OEM Li-ion Battery, because they both have IC Chips but,
the Perfine has IC Chip states it has all these features; "prevents short circuiting, overcharging, overheating and lengthens battery life"
the Anker IC Chip only states its features; "prevents overcharging & prevent short-circuiting"
BUT in the Perfine info at Amazon it says -Without NFC functionality.
AND I have My LG G3 which has the OEM cover, with GPS/NFC parts embedded into the back.
So my questions are this;
1.)Do all IC Battery Chips have all the same great features, and they just didn't state all the features on their Amazon page? Or Does the Perfine IC Battery Chip really have more IC features?
2.)My LG G3 has the OEM cover,GPS/NFC parts embedded into the back. Do I need a NFC/GPS battery for NFC/GPS to work? Or will my cover be all I need?
3.)If my OEM Cover is all I need will my GPS/NFC take a performance hit?

I think reading thru the reviews from both should give you a clue on which one to get (hint: the one with more reviews) :good:
I've used Ankers in 3 of my phones, and all have been stellar.
Any suggestions for replacement batteries you can get in the UK? Bought one from MobyMemory and that was worse than my 2 year old battery. I think it is a fake battery as it doesn't have the holes in the second 'tooth'.

I have bought two batteries recently in the UK for my stock LG G3 (D855), one from Amazon and one from Ebay both batteries do not work and I get 'Invalid battery - shutting down' with both. If you look on Alibaba you will see a large number of fakes on sale and and I think these are just re-sold on the likes of Amazon or EBay UK.
Interestingly, both batteries were shipped by Royal Mail Post and that is apparently illegal.
I do not know, but I am getting the impression that there is now something in the firmware that can detect these fake batteries and reject them. Also I do not think Anker sell their replacement battery in the UK.
Also, some of these fake batteries are known to swell and damage the phone (see reviews on Amazon uk).
A genuine LG G3 battery can be had via the recommened LG supplier http://www.4lg.co.uk/product.pl?pid=5148198 though at 27.91 + shipping it is expensive.
A genuine battery will have a white spot, otherwise it is a fake?
I am curious to know if by updating the kernel in some way there may be a way to still use the cheaper after market batteries?
If you make a major discovery about UK sourcing then let us know.
Not sure how to spot a fake battery but read somewhere that the connector teeth are supposed to have holes in them.
Where is the white mark supposed to be on the battery? next to the connecting teeth (or whatever the golden things are called)
I have ordered a 3800mah battery from mboynow as it seems to have the marks on the teeth and is made by the seller. They also pay for the return which I thought was good. (cant post links as I am a newbie)
I'll report back when I get it. Most amazon reviews are positive but not all.

If you look on the second image shown on this link http://www.4lg.co.uk/product.pl?pid=5148198
you will see a white dot to the left of the 4 contacts - this is a sign of a genuine battery.
It is a shame we cannot get the same prices as in the USA as official batteries are only $15
What version of firmware are you running? (goto - settings->General-> About phone -> software info -> software version) - I would expect to see V30n-EUR-XX for the UK running android 6.0
I thought that dot was a sign of water damage. I have two original LG G3 batteries supplied by LG. One has an orange spot and the second a white.
I run v30a-234-20.
Battery dispatched so hopefully I can report back soon.
Got the battery last saturday and it gives about 12-14 h of life so not as good as the original battery when I got the phone. It still seems to hold the charge quite ok but I was expecting it to last more than a day as it is 3800 rather than 3000. Will compare it to my old battery tomorrow and see what the difference is. Alas it didn't resolve the problem I had with the phone randomly restarting.
Has anyone tried these?

Went on ebay and got 3 batteries and a wall charger for 12 bucks. Had the same for my Epic, they are from Hong Kong, and last about half as long as stock but for money spent, well worth it IMO.
Normally i stick to seidio for aftermarket batteries, but that offer is too good to ignore! thanks for the tip!
They take about 2 weeks to get to you, ground mail from China but used them for a year on my Epic. Great little backups, keep one in the car, one in the office, whereever.
I am still not sure which battery will fit the Photon. Let us know how it works out.
This one claims to be for the Photon and only the Photon, it only recently came out so it should work. It is not one of those that advertises for Atrix/Droid X2/Photon, which as we know the Photon does not share a battery with.
http://www.ebay.com/itm/NEW-3X-1500...119425?pt=PDA_Accessories&hash=item45fc81f7c1
Thanks for that ebay link! Wow 3 batteries and the external charger! I just purchased these and it is worth the gamble for $13. I think it will be okay. Worst case scenerio I also get the Seidio battery and I have this purchase to charge my OEM battery in the external charger
They have them for like every phone, usually 2 not 3, but the 3 is nice insurance for a DOA. Never heard bad about them other then they last about half as long as OEM.
What about those 1950 mAh batteries? Will they fit? They scare me because it does not say mB855 anywhere.
Just to confirm the 3 for 13 ebay batteries do fit and work in the Photon. Can't speak of life yet, i expect about half of stock prob a bit more but well worth it.
I posted this over in android forums but forgot to post it here as well.
I ordered this 3x 1500mAh battery + charger over in ebay.
The package does indeed come from China. The package has the 3 included batteries and the charger box.
Next we have images of the battery in its protective pouch and the battery charger.
Each battery is a 3.7VDC 1500mAh Rechargable Lithium-ion type of battery.
It states as a replacement for the BF5X/MB520/MB525 battery. But I can rest assure that it does fit the Photon.
The charger has retractable prongs to connect to the wall and it also has a usb port which I guess is to connect another device to charge from (like the Photon connected via a usb cable.) There is a nicely soft glow light that is colored red (more like magenta) when the battery needs charging and turns a nice color green when the battery is fully charged. Supposedly the charger box indicates that the charging stops once the battery is full to prevent overcharging, but I have no way of knowing that without a battery tester of some sort.
Here is the view of the light with a pic without flash on.
As I was testing this product, the supplied batteries get charged in about an hour each. Originally, I just inserted one of the batteries into the photon to see if it fit and worked and yes it does fit and charge the phone. But it quickly died since I didn't have it fully charged. Well after a few hours of charging all three batteries, I inserted one of them into the photon and see how long they last.
as for the USB port on the charger, well it does not provide any juice to the Photon via a usb cable. At first I thought it was my cable (previous HTC EVO cable) so I switched it to the official one from Motorola and nothing, zip nada.
At this point, I thought either I had a charging device that had a defective usb port or the port doesn't work at all. So I decided to do one last final test and plug in my Kensington Pocket Battery for Smartphones device (which I highly recommend by the way) into the usb port of the charger and tada, we have power. It charges the Kensington battery pack. But not the Photon via the usb.
Now going back to the battery in the photon, while not as long lasting as the official Motorola HF5X 3.8v 1650mAh battery, it does keep the Photon working long enough for me and until I am able to reach a charging port on long travels outside. And with 3 of them, I really do not have to worry. (So long as they all are charged fully). lol
Overall for the price, $12.90 I really can't complain. True the USB charge port only works for my Kensington but it does charge the 3 supplied batteries as well as the official Motorola one. Small, compact and good for travel.
oh and this image shows the pouch and where it came from as well as the model number of the batteries. As one can see it states it is a replacement for the BF5X Moto battery.
and finally here is another ebayer with a higher rated battery.

I checked the accessories from the Motorola site, and they have a battery charger for our phones battery and it is also compatible with bw hw bf hf and bh series battery. ours is HF6X right? so if our batteries work with that charger i'm pretty sure the other batteries would work with our phone.

yeah pretty much chargers are becoming universal as the standard for phones are now micro usb i believe. with the exception of Apple. Reason why I ask the original question was cause I dont really like china branded battery that much, not that i hate it as i've had a few in the past but if i can get OEM batteries cheaper than 20 bucks, i would go that route instead.

Check above. The battery I supplied is OEM for $16 from Ebay. I got it for $25 2 weeks ago. Oh Well. The OEM# for the Photon is HF5X. I called Moto and this is what they told me, PLUS it's on your battery. Just pull it out and look at it.

Well, when I got mine it stated a rating of 1650MAh. I am looking at it right now. Maybe the 1500MAh batteries are knockoffs, but the one I got is a Motorola OEM (that's why I paid $25 instead of $16). Oh Well. I have used it and it works just like the one in my phone.

well if you say so, i'm not gonna doubt you. but the battery you received for 25$. does it look identical to the battery that came with your phone? because on that ebay listing, my battery looks nothing like that.
I know the original Droid X battery is not compatible ... tried it already.

Pretty sure the Photon battery is unique, maybe not when the Bionic comes out but as it stands now. If you see a battery that claims it is for Atrix/X2/D3/Photon (or any combination), it will not fit the Photon, they are just guessing that its the same, which is not.

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.

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.

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.

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
Besides Verizon charge $40 for a replacement battery, where can I find one cheaper? I am looking for the original battery that come with Verizon S4 (B600BZ code).
$16.40 on Amazon.

Amazon sells the Samsung S4 battery charger (which comes with an extra Samsung battery) as well as individual Samsung batteries; Prices were $49.99 and $29.35, respectively, back in early May when they first became available so I wouldn't be surprised if there were a drop in prices in the intervening period.

I got this recently and I am quite satisfied with it (rly like the ability to swap out a battery quickly and have the dead one charging while using my phone/sleeping etc i.e. no downtime). Performance is just as good as OEM (in my limited time) but with the warranty (18months) I am not worried.
You can also order the charging kit (charger plus OEM battery) from Samsung for about $25 plus shipping/taxes with code rv18623 (shipping is free if order over $50).
Just wanted to mention that I purchased two Anker stock size batteries and wall charger with additional USB port for $29 shipped.
They come in a very nice box... almost looks like a gift box, and everything has 18 months of warranty. Can't beat it for the price. I bought it from Ankerdirect on eBay.

I'd had great experience with S3 and S2 batteries and chargers from them. The Note 3 charger is ONLY for the Note 3. It's not a universal charger that will charge any Anker battery, but I prefer that, because the previous models, though universal, were a bit difficult to adjust the pins on for charging.
Really happy with the investment.
Hi, have you found to be the original Anker batteries? regards

I also have this kit and it is very good! Anker's warranty is seriously the best out there.
Has anyone used a NOOT battery before? According to their website, it does have NFC built in.
It's currently $5 per battery on Amazon. Looks exactly like the Anker, but with different branding. Most likely the same battery but at less than 1/2 the cost.

I wouldn't trust a battery that literally photoshopped their logo on top of Anker's.

Do you really think Anker's batteries are designed in house?
You can contract your name onto any product template up in the Shenzhen
Have you noticed that many of their products look like the generic ones you'd find on the fleabay sporting different brands
They have good CS, I'll give you that
To those who have this kit, does it take longer for the charger to charge compared to the stock charger? I had this with my note 2 and it took forever (around 12 hours) to do a full charge on a completely dead baytery. I'm thinking if I should get this or the official Samsung spare battery charger

I dont think it takes any longer... I never really noticed because it is always fully charged when it is time to switch the batteries.

I picked this up recently. $30 seems fair considering the batteries support NFC. I prefer the non-universal charger that this comes with.
I had the equivalent ($20) product for my S2, and the Anker batteries outlasted the stock and replacement OEM Samsung batteries by a long shot. Of course, the original battery that came with the S2 did swell up like a balloon in less than a year.

I would never buy that battery. Ever.
There's a reason that it's half the cost. You get half the reliability.
And yes you can get cheap stuff over there (Shenzen) because a lot of it is the cast offs and slightly imperfect versions.
I've been getting close to two days of average use per Anker battery, even though my Android System usage has spiked since updating to Kit Kat. So slightly better than the stock battery on Jelly Bean.
I've bought anker batteries for all my phones and so have my friends. The factory Samsung batteries ive had all ballooned up. All my ankers are still good. They seem to last longer than the factory batteries, maybe I'm just imagining things.
Currently I rarely ever charge my phone on the cable, I'd rather not risk wearing out the usb port.
I wake up, swap in the charged battery from the charger and stick the old one in the charger. Rinse repeat.
Is it just me or these batteries with charger cost US $260
Many sellers raise their price to something ridiculous when they are out of stock. Still $29.99 on Amazon.
I bought a set of these for me and my Fiance as soon as we got our Note 3's. We are both very accustomed to having spare batteries, we also had some with our Galaxy S3's. I have not had any issues to speak of with these batteries. Life is on par with stock battery, charge as expected, charger is functional etc. I would highly recommend them. I think I snagged them for about $26 on Amazon a couple weeks ago.
