For Samsung OEM batteries this is cheap... I mean this is a good price for one battery alone.
Bought one.

Nice find man! Bought 2 sets because thats ridiculously cheap

I assume you already had this delivered... Can you post pictures?... How long did it take for delivery? Any complains?

Ordered me one. I figure if I lose 13 dollars I'll be able to live with myself.

Ditto.
For $13 I expect the chargers, etc to be big POS but are the batteries themselves good quality? I still ordered one based on the fact from the pictures it appears they are legit Samsung OEM batteries.

It says in the listing: Batteries: Quality is 100% guaranteed, Not Original

Yea but it might be a different model (IE, not Original) or something...
Wish the OP would come back to the thread!

Here's a good option, which is a few dollars cheaper, if you don't need the cable and DC charger:

That's exactly what I'd like to have... I wonder if this dude would cancel the above mentioned one.

Are the batteries actually branded samsung?

To be honest it almost looks like they were built on the same assembly line without the samsung sticker. as far as long term use only time will tell but for now they seem to work just as well as the OEM

Thanks for the heads up. Exactly what I was looking for. Even bidding on a car dock.

Just ordered the item from OP. Will let you know how it was when it arrives.

I got mine and tested everything out. Everything works, except the spare batteries seem to last about 10% less than the Samsung battery. For some reason they included a strap (not pictured) that our phones have no space for as a bonus gift. Overall, a very good deal.

Official Spare Battery and charging dock

I just ordered this from the T-Mobile website. I had the same thing with the vibrant and even with this bigger battery I need a second to get through a full day. I'm terrible on battery life on every phone though so it may not be a necessity for most. On my Sensation I was able to get two Anker 1900mah batteries and charging station for $20 on ebay but I can't wait for those for this phone. Hope this helps others.

It is also a dock for your phone so win win...
It would be real cool if while phone was on dock it charged it too! OP could you let us know if it does. Thanks!

i'm also looking forward to order this set as well
i'll definitely need at least 2 more spare batteries and charging dock

If it's the same as the samsung vibrant which I believe it is then no it does not charge your phone. You'll have to have your phone plugged in separately or just swap fully charged batteries.

Ya figured as much... I could do fine with just the two bats. but little worried about how much abuse the back cover can take, the way it clips in is fine but after daily or twice daily seems like it might wear out mighty fast since its so little material already!

There's also this dock, but doesn't include battery charger: http://www.samsung.com/us/mobile/cell-phones-accessories/EDD-D1F4BEGSTA

Yeah I like that dock but I don't mind paying $50 for a battery and sort of a dock, but cant pay $50 for just a dock. I can play my videos through my hdmi or wifi so no use for the stand alone dock.

I really like the official Samsung dock. Can't justify $50 for it though.

MediaDock does not allow data connection
Heads up on the desktop media dock. I picked it up thinking it would allow a charging/ubuntu connection. Nope. Charge only.

Ordered the charger w/spare battery. I had one of these for my Vibrant and am already missing the spare battery... Exchange push email + the other items I run on the phone make a evening battery swap inevitable...

Just ordered one. A spare battery will be great on this phone, not to mention 2. I could go 2 days without a charger.
Deebo took your bike too?

Just got mine today. Pretty good quality and is what you'd expect from Samsung. The part that holds the phone is decent but far from a dock. Id be worried somebody could bump the table and knock it over.
All in all, its a external charger and does what its designed to do - charge batteries. I can cycle through my 3 batteries evenly now and not have to worry about juice from here on out.
Deebo took your bike too?

What external battery chargers do you use?

Short and sweet, my usb port is sucking now and theres a dead spot, I have to prop it against something to charge, while sprint may give me another devices, I'm really lazy, and I'd rather just try to get an external battery charger, besides waiting for a new phone and such. I have 2 batteries anyway . Many 3rd party chargers have bad reviews, and I may just get the 20$ OEM samsung one on Amazon but I'd like some feedback first. Thank You!

yiboyuan is the name on them

I picked up a package deal of a couple of extra extended batteries, an extended back to accommodate the larger battery, and a non-name brand wall charger for about $12 on Ebay earlier this year. The seller was in Brooklyn, so no long wait from Asia.
The charger is nothing special but it works fine. You can place the battery in the unit and plug it directly in a wall, or plug in a usb cable and charge up your phone that way. Nice light signals when the battery is fully charged.
Look for the guy, his ebay name is accmonster. Several folks around here had good deals with him.
I can vouch that he ships quickly and has good prices. The extended battery is not quite what the ad says (it's more potent, but not 3500). Shop around his online store and see if he has a deal that fits your interests. Good luck.

Your welcome. I got one of mine quick with the hyperion 1800's I ordered off amazon. I don't like the extended because of the bulk and I think some rom's don't like it but that is another story.

I have the same one also, threw the batteries out after they both died around 6 months after I bought them lol. But the charger works perfectly EXCEPT there is something definitely wrong with the USB port on it. When I plug the phone in to charge through the port on the charger, it for some reason disables touch input to the screen. No idea why, must be a strange defect or something. Happens with all micro USB cables.

$19 Qi Charger That Works Great!

http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00E9MUNWU/ref=oh_details_o00_s00_i00?ie=UTF8&psc=1
I ordered one to test it out and I love it. I already ordered another one for the nightstand.
$19, no tax and free shipping. It took about 2 weeks to get to me but for the price I'm ok with that.
I'm not sure about charging time but it doesn't seem slow. It only comes with a usb cable so if you need a power plug for an outlet then you will need to supply your own.
I've only used it caseless so far as the cases I ordered are taking their sweet time coming in.
I didn't think I would like wireless charging that much but ... yeah, I like it alot.

I think its better to add a few bucks and get this: http://www.amazon.com/Okeler-Wireless-Charging-Charger-Samsung/dp/B00EXLZIF4/ref=pd_rhf_ee_p_d_7
much better looking

Round or rectangle, its just a personal preference.
I wouldn't mind a small super shallow one for my carholder.

Yea..or. You can buy the Nokia DT-900 Qi Plates from a known company with history for $25 shipped new in box on ebay all day long.
And unlike either of those it comes with both a AC Adapter and cable and does not ship from China.

Shhhh, don't tell anyone but they are all probably made in china.

I also did some searching and seems there are a bunch for $30 right now. If you check back ever few days you'll def be able to nab one for around $25 or maybe even less. There's a ton of them out there since they came free with Lumia purchases. I don't think I've seen any for 70 dollars, seems the highest is around 40.

here's the AT&T link, I bought 3 of these a month or so back. Deal still looks active.

I work for AT&T and the Nokia DT-900 is currently 50% off. It's not advertised and I didn't even know about it until I scanned it and saw it. Lucky me I get an added 40% discount. I'm not into wireless charging, but for only $15 I'll take it!

Getting back to the Lerway... I own one and it's a pretty decent charger. Not too finicky about positioning and appears to charge as fast as hardwired. It's actually a rubberized plastic which I didn't realize from the pictures, this compliments the N5 quite nicely.
But, if you can get a Nokia for 5 bucks more, don't be stupid, go for the Nokia.

I have two Nokia Qi chargers, one at work and one at home. They're great with the Nexus 5, no problems at all.
ONE WARNING THOUGH: The DT-900 use a proprietary charging cord. Not micro USB. Don't get the DT-900 for use in your car, it won't work!
They make a car charger, with a one piece cord that plugs into a car cigarette charger, but that is the CR-200 and will cost you more than the on-sale prices people have posted.

I have mentioned it few times now but the one in eBay is 10 dollars and change and works great . nice packaging too and ships fast . that's what I use every night.

Edit: After reading the reviews on this one from Amazon i'd beware. If i would've read them i'm sure i wouldn't have purchased. That being said, mine is working fine with the s8 Plus... unlike the $50 luxurious wood QI charger i recently purchased for my s7. which just pauses on the s8. This one performs as i would expect, hopefully it has some longevity to go along with it.

You guys must have the right touch.
I can't get my s8+ to work consistently on any of my Samsung Wireless chargers (The one from woot). Somedays they work fine, most days it pauses and drains the battery trying to charge. Not to mention they slide off as the lip doesn't seem really deep enough. I'm going to try the jet.com deal. Thanks OP!
Edit: FYI, select the Tan charger, then in the detail page, change the color to black. That's where the cheaper one is.

No, nothing in either one of mine rattles. It sounds like something may have broken off inside. Contact woot and see about getting a replacement. If you put the charge on your credit card, they should cover you as well.
