I am considering getting the OnePlus Power Bank, which goes on sale tomorrow, for 14.99. It is a 10,000mah power bank. I have noticed on Ebay/Amazon that their are alot of power banks for sale for a very similar price but the storage is up to 50,000mah. I just wanted to see if anybody out there has purchased any of these 50,000mah power banks on Ebay and if you would recommend any of them? Thanks
This is the one I got. It's crazy good. It is also unavailable right now but I couldn't be happier and if you find one get it.

I have this Anker power bank: http://www.ianker.com/product/79AN13K2-BCA
It's not 50,000 but my experience with it has been nothing but great. It's charges much faster than my old Mophie did. They have a 25,600 model if you need more juice.
I play Ingress a lot and I currently use (http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00M2ZQXDY/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o00_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1) with my Nexus 6. Works great!
I also play ingress and I have one of these, it works great.

At the workplace where I work, we have invested in Anker battery banks and they are very good in high quality

With my TYTN, I carried an extra battery with me so it's not a big deal to me to have to carry it. But HD's battery cover is different and I think to remove it a couple times a day bugs me a bit.
Should I just get an extra battery and stand alone battery charger or one of these that uses AA (rechargable, too) batteries?
It's not as portable as a HD battery but I don't have to touch the cover...
the cover has been very durable for me... i have an extra battery that i swap out from time to time and i have yet to have a problem. also invested in this portable charging device that's been working as advertised.

I just bought a 1500 mAh spare battery. Seems to me to be more convenient for carrying and I don't mind the swapping. I got the desktop cradle from before, so now I can just slip the spare battery into it and have it charge without being in the phone.

Yeah I guess an extra battery is the way to go. Besides I don't want to totally wear out my main battery. But portable charger does look interesting though and its sexier than the AA charger.
Where did everyone get their extra batt? Ebay?
don't go for a portable AA charger unless it says it's definitely TOuch HD compatible. I picked up a Energizer MiniUSB AA charger and it doesn't work with the HD... Worked fine with the X1 (switched off) though.
i got one from thinkgeek.com for like 20 bucks or so. i just throw a duracell rechargable 2400mAh battery in it and it works great whenever i need extra power. it also comes with tons of different adapters to fit most phones.
I bought my spare 1500 battery from Mugen power and it cost me 30$. You can find much cheaper batteries online, but Mugen seems to be a very reliable company with good customer reviews, so I didn't hesitate to pay extra for the safety.
I can also say the same for some of the gadgets people have mentioned here. While they're temptingly cheap and good looking, I would always do my homework and check online for reviews before plugging any electrical device into my Touch HD. One bad circuit in those portable chargers and it might as well end up being "bye-bye" to your phone.
This is especially important when buying stuff from China.
Yeah, I was thinking about either getting a legit battery or ebay batteries. I've read on an NYTimes article recently that a battery costs like $2 max to make. So if I pay $10 for a battery, they are still making a large profit.
Anyways, I'll probably end up getting the $30 batt.

Ah, well... You know that all parts needed to make iPhone cost like 50-60$, yet the final product will usually cost you 15 times more. That's just the way it is with everything, especially when it comes to gadgets.
God save the market shares of western-world companies once Chinese figure out how to make good high-tech devices. It's already happening on smaller scale.
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.

Thanks all!
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.
IT doesn't mention that it comes with the battery but it does.
http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0076Z3FSQ/ref=oh_o00_s00_i00_details
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.

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
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.

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.

Lol
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.
Ok so this is a sponsored review of the Choetech 15600mah power bank.
So I figure I would get to point first then going further into details
THE BOTTOM LINE:
Choetech B611Q Power Bank is massive power bank and not just its capacity
4.5/5.0
Pros
Implements QC 2.0
Massive capacity
Prevent battery degradation relatively well.
Cons
Very Bulky
Fingerprint Magnet
Update Aug 31 2015
So @feihu989 aka Choetech Rep. Confirm that the fingerprint issue have been resolved base on user feedback....I love it when a company listen to what users want....
The Iphone Lighting port can also be used to charge to the B611Q in around 8 hrs if you use charge with an adapter that output 3A (I can't confirm this but will get an adapter and update later).
I'm still of the opinion that if you're going to sell something for Android, then sell for Android.
He also said that the bulkiness is due to the fact that it was made to be rugged and durable...Unfortunately I not buying that. I would have to take it apart to see if the design is made to be shock absorbance technology built in....but my idea of rugged is that it meets military standards, or at least close to it...and with this i feel like if dropped it once it would most like be game over depending on how it falls....
REGARDLESS.
The B611Q is still by far the highest capacity power pack on the market...ignoring the size of it device itself and taking into account the change in design which was a major issue for me. I'm upgrading my rating to 4.5/5
This is the biggest capacity quick charge 2.0 power bank till now, the unique part of this battery pack is the lighting port input, iPhone users can throw away your micro usb cable when travelling, good to see this feature on a power bank.
It's almost the same size as Nexus 6 but thicker, fingerprint problem is solved in the new version.
Amazon coupon for 8 bucks off "YDUKCSCX" ... Get it while its hot ?

Is the updated version a Matt finish? And special or not I don't they should have including the lighting connector port.. It takes a little over 11 hrs to charge using it and then the iPhone doesn't benefit from QC... If I was an iPhone user I would just get something cheaper that makes sense.

Yes the new version is Matt finish(old version in this photo), the lighting port could accept 3 amps input, so if your adapter and cable is powerful enough, you could finish the charging in less than 8 hours. With such big capacity, it would be good choice when going out with friends.
Did they announce that somewhere? I wish I could change mine for a frosted version..
I have seen a few threads on XDA with the Oneplus 3/3T with the Ebay Baozu chargers. I decided to take the plunge and order from Ebay a set with Dual charging port (hopefully the other port is a quick charge for my other non Dash device) and red cables for about $24. The expedited shipping was too expensive and decided to take the slower route, but my Oneplus 5 battery has been great. I would have bought it from other websites, but they don't have Paypal, and I don't like using my CC, just to get quicker shipping at a more reasonable rate.
For those who have used these chargers successfully, please chime in.
On another note, I wish my 2016 model vehicle came with Android Auto, but no, the 2017 did as standard, fockers! I rather use the big screen of the vehicle and not deal with any phone holder.
Quick or dash charge is only possible with the one plus dash charger

What about vooc?
I was tempted to buy the official 1+ car charger but decided to skip it since I already had an iOrange-E car charger that I bought a year ago for my Nexus 6p. Now, obviously this is not a dash charger but what I have noticed, as you can see from the attached picture, it has a pretty good charging capacity. Keep in mind that dash charging only works at up to 65% battery capacity before it throttles down, and it also goes down again at 75% and then again at 85% so most of the time the dash charger will be charging at regular charging speeds. So unless you always have the phone at really low battery percentages when connecting it to the car charger, to me there's really no reason to spend a lot of money on one.
I was looking to get an OEM dash charger but after seeing the price I couldn't see myself paying $30 another $7 for shipping. Unless if you really NEED to charge your phone that fast, I don't see the point to spending that much money on a car charger when a good 2.4a one will do the job for about $10 on amazon. I am able to keep my phone charged, use GPS, Pandora and bluetooth with my non dash car charger.
