I'm enjoying my Galaxy note, but I'm badly looking for extra batteries and external charger. Where one battery is enough for most I need to use 3 batteries in a day for the kind of usage I do.
Anyone with any information of Galaxy Note please post here.
Thank you
Anil
They sell batteries and chargers at expansys.co.uk, but I dont think they have the items in stock yet.
To confirm, expansys does sell Galaxy Note batteries as well as a charger for the battery (a charger that will directly charge the battery instead of having to swap them into/out-of your phone). However, they won't get them in for a while, as their site listed in-stock arrival date as late november. However, for your heavy usage you may want to check out the "ZaggSparq 2.0" from Zagg, the makers of invisibleSHIELD. It's basically a battery that you plug into the wall and then bring with you and it has two USB ports to charge, and it will charge up the Note's battery a couple times over. Here are the specs:
6,000 mAh Lithium Polymer
Has the power to charge most smart phones four times
4 yellow lights indicate power level, 25%-50%-75%-100%
Has the ability to charge multiple USB devices simultaneously
Max output: 2000mA @ 5V
Power Source: 100-240 VAC @ 50/60 Hz
Physical Size 3.5 x 3.5 x 1 inches
Weight 8.6 ounces
Just something to check out. Google it for more info (I would post a link but I don't have a high enough post count to do so).

You sound like me. I bought 2! Isound external 16,000 batteries from amazon and keep one in my bag at all times.
They're superb.

hi there!, I am also looking to buy an extra battery, could you tell me where can I find a spare?
thanks!
I just ordered a these from ebay:
http://www.ebay.com/itm/2x-2600mAh-...514884?pt=PDA_Accessories&hash=item3a6ccd9284
two batteries for 10 dollars and free shipping. what a steal.
Quality is, ofcourse, unknown, but some extra juice always comes in handy.
There are various external chargers showing up on ebay now.
They appear oto be YiboYuan chargers - I have one for my mytouch 4g and I was pretty happy with it.

That's my kind of a smartphone user! I have te same problemwith my Note. And it is really annoying...
The best advice you will ever hear....maybe not so applicable to the note....
Every phone you or your friends buy, buy the extra 3 batteries and wall charger off ebay for $12.
Men - put one in your wallet, it is the thickness of about 4 credit cards
Women - put it in your purse.
Unlimited battery life!

Backup batteries don't need to be super quality - just enough to last you till you can get your other battery charged.
All you need is one of these, TeckNet Yoobao Series - Dual-Port 11200mAh External Battery Pack http://www.amazon.co.uk/TeckNet-Yoobao-Dual-Port-11200mAh-Blackberry/dp/B000X30AYA
Ive had one for a while now and they are a complete lifesaver... charge the phone completely 2x at least, and its compact and good looking. I wouldnt waste my cash on crappy batteries when you can buy stuff like this that does the job 100x better and can be used on almost any device you have. Simples.

yeah i need to see those reviews too.
i had tecknet external charger once , bought it from their website (not from amazon), the 8000mah dual usb port , and to be honest it was a total rip off !!! it charges my desire HD very very slow ! (slower than normal USB charging) and it only worked for a few hours !!! after that it just didt charge anything at all !!!!
i returned it for refund or replacement and till now i got nothing! they claim they didnt get the unit yet and its been 3 months , add to that the shipping and unit return fees were handled by me.
so its a pretty bad experience with tecknet , if i were u , i would stay away bcos their products r very unreliably so does their support.

Did you send it back to them by RECORDED delivery and signature? If not then you really have no-one to blame but yourself, as if it was sent igned and recorded then you have PROOF that it was sent and recieved.
I'm thinking of getting 2600mAh replacement battery soon.

yup i did , still this doesnt change the fact that their charger didnt work but for a couple of hours
Found this extended battery on ebay, was wondering if anyone on here has tried it, i know it looks hideous, but if you know your making a trip somewhere it could come in handy if it works the way its supposed to. Its cheap as hell too.

9 bucks... can't be too great,
but what can you lose? lol
Seems to me that if the larger aftermarket brands have trouble meeting the stated mAh rating on their batteries, what more of unbranded ones that goes for an even lower value?
I also still have very clear memory on exploding phones from third party batteries years ago
I bought a cheapo 3800mah and it lasts barely longer than my stock extended battery. I wish samsung made an official 3800mah version

Buy 2 stock batteries and solder them together. Works great.
3500 real mah. I didn't think the 2000 extended batteries would fit under the cover from the Hyperion I had here. I agree though, if I can solder it up in an evening, Samsung certainly could work up something.
hopefully more phones in the future will be like the razr and give us a factory extended battery closer to 3000mah.
Razr maxx when I had it for a week was sick! Hard use all day, charged every other day, seriously insane battery life. If that phone ever gets bootloader unlocked, I would be all over it again.

Have you done this solder thing? Any tips?
if you look at the battery in the phone you can see that there is some space at the top of each terminal, use this space to solder a fine piece of copper wire to a second battery. make sure to solder the batteries in parallel, positive to positive and negative to negative, to retain the same voltage.
i remember taking apart a so called 3500mah battery from ebay and they were just two cheap 1500mah batteries tapped together. Apparently in china 1500X2 is 3500.
Why does everyone want extended batteries? 99% of people have access to a power cord most of the day and just don't need it. Granted, I'm new to the phone, but I really hope I don't need to carry around a huge battery or two. Personally I'd rather charge it more often. Just my own opinion.

I bought a 3600 mAh extended battery for a few dollars on ebay. Despite the fact that it makes my phone look like a beached whale, it totally got rid of my power shortage anxiety. My most useful ebay purchase so far..

Even If it's 1500 that's still 3000mah for less than $10. Pretty good deal.

As long as you know that I don't see a problem. Spend $10, use it for 6 months, buy another one. Much better than spending $100 for a mugen.
Even the Samsung batteries lose their capacity over time.

I have always heard these will actually output less than that as it takes its charge and moves it to another battery. -Cannot transfer from 1 battery to another 100%
$45? ...How about $22 shipped

FYI, most of these external battery setups do not recommend charging the external battery while it's on the phone.
Wouldn't touch this with a 10 foot pole. This is similar with a crappy cover put on it.

Maybe the OP can vouch for the one he has, but I'd be hesitant. I went with the Qcell 4200 extended battery myself.

Yes, after testing was done, it was found that not only is the 4200 hyperion battery (and case) smaller than these, and cheaper, but they have 4200 MAH while these equate to considerably less... depending on when you switch on the external batt case. There is a point that battery can't drop any lower when charging another battery, and you loose some just in the transfer anyway.
the only advantage of this is that you can easily take the phone out and go caseless, for less bulk. but now you are caseless, unless you always carry an extra case around with you.
For me, the hyperion (being smaller than this, cheaper, and more power) was the way to go. and if I wanted to keep slim, but was going camping or something, I would bring an external USB pack (heck i even made a couple: google minyboost).
but hey, if you like it, OP, each to their own.

Trust me, Hyperion Battery isn't more powerful than this. The real 4300 mah battery is Mugen Power batteries. And The Mugen Power Batteries is $99. So Hyperion isn't a good battery. If you think 4300mah battery better than this, you should buy Mugen Power batteries.

No need to hate, just because you got less, and paid more.
Well, then the samsung OEM battery must suck too... because i am getting over twice the on time with my hyperion battery. Over 1 1/2 days, with HEAVY use (over 8 hours of screen time, plus 3 hours of bluetooth, and GPS). Hyperion have been making GOOD quality batteries for years (they used to make them for RC cars, now they do Cell phones too) just because Mugen overcharges, does not make others of lesser quality. Also, hyperion has some of the best customer service i have ever dealt with.
perhaps you should research before you make unfounded claims.
I didn't say bad things to your battery. I'm sure Hyperion batteries good too. But my case isn't bad.
your case may work, he was just saying that you will not get the full charge to convert over as i had said, plus you now have no case for your phone unless you leave it in that 24/7 or carry one around. MUCH simpler (and bigger ACTUAL AVAILABLE battery life) for cheaper with the extended battery. -plus they have 2 different types of cases for the extended battery!
I got wife and I each a 4200mah NFC capable battery and TWO backs for each of us (QCell comes with 1 blue and 1 white back per battery) and TPU cases for them for $5 more each! -and QCell offers a discount for 2+ items!
Hey, as long as you like it, more power to you!

You are trying to solve the every smartphone's problem of needing a daily charge in the completely wrong way.
Buy additional batteries (I have a total of 4 original ones) and separate desktop battery chargers (I have 2 original ones) and you will never again have "battery anxiety" nor will you have ever again to keep your smartphone chained down to a wallet charger since you will be charging each battery separately from the phone...
I have been doing this since MANY years on my last 6 smartphones and I am continually shocked to see how seemingly few people are taking advantage of this setup... Even "powerusers" on xda!
For me there is NO other way and I consider "smart"phones with integrated batteries as useless, worthless toys...

Are you also using desktop battery chargers? If the answer is yes I would really like to know why you want to mess around with non-original batteries...
All of the tests (or at least the professionally done ones..) that I have seen show that most of these batteries have sensibly lower real mAh than the nominal ones and/or degrade pretty more quickly. The few good ones are invariably the expensive ones which, when they grant appreciable higher mAh than the original ones, are also sensibly bigger and heavier and require different, "bulging" back covers to accomodate them which means that they can most probably not be docked anymore in the car mount or in the desktop dock (if you use one), are less comfortable to pocket, make the phone heavier and ruin the design too (not much important this last point but still), YUCK!

Well, Mugen makes quality batteries and it's a known brand. The chinese no-name batteries are not. We do not know how it's made, what materials has been used and so on. It's not worth the risk IMO. If that battery melts or worse; explodes, you won't only lose the 10 dollars you used - your device and maybe even your leg/face will get damaged.
Worth it?

I think most of the people don't like multiple batteries as that requires popping out the accessory cover/case AND the phone cover every single time to swap the battery. Of course, the batteries and their chargers need to be carried around too. All this is tedious and most don't like this inconvenience, so they prefer a battery with higher mAh instead of multiple batteries.

I think most of the people don't like multiple batteries as that requires popping out the accessory cover/case AND the phone cover every single time to swap the battery.

Turning the phone off, swapping batteries and turning the phone on takes all of 30 sec.
Now compare 30 seconds to keeping your phone "on a leash" every single day for 2-3 HOURS to a wall charger... and you call THAT "tedious"????
As for cases, I have NEVER used cases on any of my phones (hate them for all the reasons listed again below) so I won't comment on that other than noting that you talk about cases but with bigger batteries you can't use cases AT ALL so that's just another disadvantage of bigger than original batteries!
Poof course, the batteries and their chargers need to be carried around too. All this is tedious and most don't like this inconvenience, so they prefer a battery with higher mAh instead of multiple batteries.

Just the batteries, of course (you take with you however many you may need), what would be the reason for carrying around the chargers??
You charge your battery/batteries once you get back home.
An extended battery will NEVER last as long as just 2 original batteries (besides making it fatter, heavier, uncomfortable, not dockable etc) and with multiple batteries you can cover completely whatever you need to do with your smartphone even for short multi-day complete trips. Imagine being out camping, with extended batteries you would have to bring with you heavy external batteries anyway to which you would ALSO have to keep your Note tethered to for hours to recharge...
Very long trips? Of course you take the battery charger (very slim and light BTW and doubles as a stand to boot) with you, exactly like you would have to take your normal charger with external batteries.
There is no real point AGAINST additional batteries and there are PLENTY FOR IT.
It's a no brainer for any poweruser (i.e. anyone who actually NEEDS and USES smartphones...).
I'm always testing out new types of chargers but i agree, official charger and then one or two spare batteries - no more battery anxiety

what about those iphones that exploded? they dont have removable batteries
This will be a quick one.
My battery is starting to be a bit rubbish, so I am looking at getting a new, higher powered one.
I have found these on ebay that look ok, but I wanted to throw it out to u guys to see if any of u have bought them.....
2100mAh 100% GENUINE SAMSUNG GALAXY S3 i9300 BATTERY 2100mAH NFC FIT GALAXY S3 GT-i9300
2300mAh SAMSUNG GALAXY S3 SIII i9300 HIGH CAPACITY Li-ION SMARTPHONE BATTERY
2850mAh GOLD 2850 mah SAMSUNG GALAXY S3 i9300 Li-ION SMARTPHONE BATTERY
3800mAh 3800mAh High Capacity Battery for Samsung Galaxy S3 i9300
I don't want to go for one of those super high power, double size batteries, cos I like the fact I have a slim phone.
I've had many bricks in the past and I do not want to turn my nice slim S3 into an old Nokia size brick, lolz.

Maybe gives you some more options.

I have also been wanting to replace my battery, I just wanted to ask which of the original battery is better i have seen :
cell made in Japan assembled in China
cell made in Korea assembled in Vietnam
cell made in Korea assembled in china
Made in China
Made in Korea
Im sure there are others. I would guess anything made and assembled at same plant would be best, please correct me if im wrong.
You get what you pay for, I pay for a warranty I can trust as cheap batteries are too dangerous.
There's also a specific section for accessories.

I get that, totally, and I have been looking at batteries, not their prices, if u know what I mean.
Jut wondering if anyone has had any dealings with these batteries.
Also, I know there is a accessories sections, but this was a question, so I asked it in the Q&A section.
I have only ever used Anchor battery and found them faultless .
Their was a post in Accessories at one time .

Anchor or Anker? I also use Anker, just had a problem with my set of year old ones starting to swell -they replaced them both without quibble.

I looked on their site and only found a 2200mAh battery, the bigger ones are double sized with the retrofit back plate.
Stock battery is only 2100mAh, so the Anker one isn't that much better =/
If the battery fits inside the standard back plate then it is the same capacity (or even less) as the standard battery, it's physically impossible for it to be any greater. Any advert saying a higher capacity for the same size is lying, so avoid.
Main point about the Anker is having two batteries, so you charge outside the phone and always have a fully charged spare to hand.

I'm not going to question ur knowledge about this, but how can u have different mAh "AA" batteries, that are all the same size in that case??
I don't want to have to carry around a second battery with me all the time, this is why I was looking at different bigger capacity batteries =/
You can buy AA batteries in many different forms, alkaline, NiCad, Li-ion etc. Each has a different power density, with Li-ion being the highest. Standard S3 batteries are already the highest density so can't be bettered, if it were that easy then Samsung would have already done it.
The only way to get more capacity is to increase the physical dimensions, don't take my word for it try Wikipedia.

S4's battery isn't much bigger, but capacity is much higher.
Personally I carry two slim zerolemons charged at 40% with me all the time.
me and wife have zerolemon 2300 in our gs3's, fit under original back door and they come with 180day warranty. only downside is no NFC. But to me its the Best 20 buck investment ive made as far as accessories lol.

I've found the zerolemon 2300mAh batteries on eBay, HERE and I have also done some web searches about them, they look pretty good and I haven't found any bad reviews. 200mAh bigger than stock, and tested to be that capacity too, so must be true. I'm thinking of going for these, will just have to get a US to UK plug adaptor to go with the charger, lol.

? No, you weren't at all rude -I wouldn't suggest anyone accept 'internet advise' without cross checking it against something else.
The batteries you've chosen have a modest claim for capacity so are probably genuine. Only drawbacks are the limited warranty and return postage, if ever required. The desktop battery charger I have looks identical, plugs into a standard micro usb charger so you might not need an adaptor.
Has anyone ever tried the momax battery ?

Add my vote for the ZeroLemon 2300's. I've been using one for a while and it's great.

I've had very good experience with the ZeroLemon 2300 too.
Very good battery life with Carbon ROM.
My friend is also using the Zerolemon battery, I'm still doing fine with my stock battery.
