Too big for me, wanna small light one and can fit in the jacket.

Why not just get some extra batteries and put them in your wallet

I'm a Noob, but I would of thought the following would be the best solution
official Samsung products as according to the Samsung manual, none Samsung batteries & chargers may damage your device:
Official Samsung Galaxy Note Holder and Battery Charger
Official Samsung Galaxy Note Replacement Battery:
I'm afraid I'm not allowed to post external links at this time, but if anyone would care to intercede on my behalf and post relevant product link or simply copy&paste to Google search.

I had 3 batteries with mine old Desire and it takes time to charge all 3 full. Note takes 3Hx2= 6H.
This time I wanna try out portable battery pack instead and can also charge other device too if needed.
I never used portable battery pack before and just dont know which brands are good or bad ones.
Anyway, I might go for New Trent one, small/light and 11000mah sounds good. Just the cheap price makes me wonder how good can it be?

it's not that big....almost big as the note, but thicker....
I'm not sure how many charges you can get from small ones...

I took delivery of one of these yesterday, look nice, haven't tried it out yet...
http://www.amazon.co.uk/gp/product/B000UH46YY

ive never tried those personally but the primo charger done very well on this review
http://www.androidpolice.com/2011/0...juice-when-you-need-it-and-a-whole-lot-of-it/
also there is this one , supposedly on a discount :
http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00439G3WS/
ive had a tecknet charger but unfortunately either it was a faulty unit or its just like that where it wasnt able to keep up and charge my Desire HD .
keep this thread updated with feedback guys , much appreciated..
Cheers

The New Trent line of charges are excellent. You won't regret it.

Just ordered New Trent iCruiser IMP1000 11000mAh External Battery Pack and see how it works out.
And thanks all for suggestions.

The TeckNet iEP380-II 7000mAh I ordered from Amazon.co.uk appears to work fine.
It charged the battery from 40% to 73% in around 1:20 whilst I was watching TV tonight (including the last episode of Dexter, Eek!). I had the Wi-fi on, updated a couple of apps and played with the phone quite a bit, so I'm fairly happy with that.

I'm using Sanyo mobile booster 5000mAh costing around SGD$70~

I have an Anker Power Bank. It is about half the size of a pack of smokes. It works awesome, and easily slips into ANY pocket.

Momax iPower Pro Portable Battery Pack
Hi, everyone!
I have a Samsung Galaxy Note and I´m thinking of buying the Momax iPower Pro 8000mAh Universal Portable Battery Pack. Does anyone have any experience with it?
Or can you maybe suggest something similar?
Thanks!

I have ordered one of these http://portablepowersupplies.co.uk/portapowPremium.htm still waiting on delivery but it should work great for the Note when far from a wall socket.

I have the phonesuit primo...nothing but praise for this portable battery. I have only filled it up two or three times in the year that I have had it, but it doesn't seem to lose power over time. I use it for emergencies in charging my Galaxy Tab, and have used it to charge my Nokia E71 and a few friends iPhones. Looks nice as well.

I got mine New Trent iCruiser IMP1000 11000mAh and just for 1 week.
It came with around 75% charged (3 LED lighted) and icould charge the Note from 10-15% both times., still got 1 led left. Then I put it on charge overnight and it took around 14H before fully charged.
From 15% to 100% took around 2H 40min and less then Samsung charger that took 3H 30 min.
Thats is something weird about the 3 leds that display how much battery is left, donnu if it display correct about how much battery left its on the battery pack.
From fully charged, it drops from 3 leds to 1 led in around 2H charge time on mine Note. Donnu if the 3 leds are displaying wrong about how much battery is left, or I need to recharge it few times, before it reach full potential of the battery pack?
Or just the battery pack dont have that 11000 mah juice as the spec say its?
One minor problem, I have, is it cant charge mine bluetooth SonyEricsson MW600, it start to charge it for a while and then stop keep charging it. Had to unplug the microusb cable and replug it to charge it.
Well, gonna wait until recharge it few more times and see how it goes. Right now recharging it for 2 time and update later for more "reviews".

New Trent iCruiser IMP1000 11000mAh
i'm about to take the leap for New Trent iCruiser IMP1000 11000mAh , one last thing , any users who own one can say the pros and cons for it , it aint a cheap unit to purchase, im quite convinced about it but u know , just need the final confirmtion from xda community
cheers

Galaxy Note battery

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).

Hit the thanks button if you like my post.
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.
- Frank
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!

top selling battery brand for samsung galaxy note in East at moment,and i have done many search about d seven galaxy Note battery .the feedback not bad,so i recommed d-seven .
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.

I hope momax or other will make a 3000mah battery with little impact in thickness...

External Batteries

I was just wondering whether external batteries are generally quite reliable, and if so what the best brands are to go for? I am looking for a relatively powerful one - I am not afraid of a little bit of cost, but obviously I don't want to spend masses.
Thanks
Ive got a New Trent and its well built and reliable. The 11000mAH will last you for several days. Have a look on Amazon.
I have a "Just Mobile Pro" or something like that.
4400mAh with 1000mA output.
But the EasyAcc 5600mAh (which I don't have) does sound better and cheaper (on Amazon).
Second new trents 11000mah one that thing is a beast

Thanks not heard of New Trent before. Looks good. Can you confirm it's output charging current though? I can't find the spec on it anywhere. I'm assuming it's the full 1A, as it says it can charge an iPad, but could you please confirm? Looks like I'll be needing one!
Cheers.

Flashlight feature's a nice touch.
isound portable external battery. Has built in flashlight too. Comes in two flavors, 16000mah and 8000mah.
If you look around you can find it cheaper elsewhere

Zagg Sparq 2.0 6000mah. Not worth the $100. Went on sale for $50 before..
Love the design and its built it power plugs. Loses charge over time. Google user reviews.

It's good and bad . I was on the train heading home from work and I was charging my phone with the Anker charger. I accidentally pressed the power button twice and the flashlight turned on. Sitting across from me was this fairly attractive woman with a skirt on. She automatically crossed her legs and looked at me weird. I hope she doesn't think that i'm a pervert.

Hah! Good thing I didn't have a mouthful of soda there...
Good thing to remember with external battery packs is that during usage some of the charge goes to charging the battery while some is lost in heat. I think I read some where its normaly 30-40%. So for example a 11000mah battery will give you some where near 6600mah of charge so about 3 and half charges of the HTC One X.
I'm considering either the:
TeckNet® iEP387 7000mAh Dual-Port 2.1Amp Output Universal USB Battery Bank
http://www.amazon.co.uk/gp/product/...&pf_rd_t=101&pf_rd_p=467128533&pf_rd_i=468294

http://www.amazon.co.uk/gp/product/...&pf_rd_t=101&pf_rd_p=467128533&pf_rd_i=468294
Although not 100% sure I need either at the moment

The heat loss is inevitable but the capacity should be unchanged.
What the heat loss means is that you need more than 11000mAh to charge up the full 11000mAh battery due to the losses.
The tecknet is very good value. I am considering it at the moment

Yes but I'm talking about in the other direction. So once you have 11000mAh in the device and you charge a device that take 1800mAh you will actually use aprox 2520mAh in doing so. My numbers and calculations maybe a little flawed but my point is that you cant do a simple 11000 / 1800 = 6.1 charges as you need to take into account heat loss which is around 30 - 40% (so I read on one of the amazon reviews)
Either way both devices are nice and cost quite reasonable.

Have got the Tecknet IEP987 7000mah battery myself. Has run through two charges of a sensation XL and my Fiio Headphone amp, and still around half full.
Am more than happy with it.

Ah yes of course. Did not realise you were talking about the other way round charger>>phone
Not sure how efficient but if say 10% loss, we still get around 5 times charge with a 11000mAh batt. to a One X.
I am leaning towards the 7000mAh. Not sure if I need it or not...

Also don't forgot not to simply divide the battery pack's capacity by your phone's battery capacity to see how many times it will charge, unless you are charging it with the phone turned off.
With the phone on it is obviously using the usual amount for running the phone, whilst it is being charged. Add the current being drawn for keeping the phone running (say 250mA when awake) for the time it takes to charge (for me 2 hours) and you are looking at 500mAH. Add that to the capacity of your phone battery before dividing it by the capacity of your battery pack to figure out how many charges you'll get from it. Figures used are just for example purposes. Use a current widget if you want to know how much your phone is using.
Plus like a phone's battery, a new battery pack will take several charge cycles to reach full performance. Where as with a phone's battery which only takes about 2 weeks (charging it every day), a battery pack will take that much longer to get the full performance out of, as you wont likely be charging it more than once a week/month.
And then there's the battery indicators. These New Trent ones look sensible, but I once purchased a Proporta Turbocharger 5000mAHr unit. It had three blue LED battery status lights that were always on if charging. If you looked directly at them they'd burn your retinas out your skull. They could be seen from space. Stupidly and comically bright. They HAD to eat into some of the capacity.
Copper losses over the cable at the distances involved in your average charging cable will be negligible. If you really want to reduce it, don't use those silly skinny retracting yo-yo charging cable things that some of them come with. Use a decent quality USB to microUSB cable. The higher the guage of the cable and quality of copper, the less volt-drop there is. I keep a good few of these kicking about at home as they are well made but not too costly, and come with a nice cable tidy clasp...http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/GENUINE-NOKIA-CA-101-CA101-USB-DATA-CABLE-LEAD-5230-/140579882085?pt=UK_MobilePhones_MobilePhoneAccesories_MobilePhoneDataCables_JN&hash=item20bb36c465

2100mah battery + charger from ebay

I recently bought a 2100mah battery and charger set off ebay for $8. Has anybody tried it yet? link
Its mainly just so I can have a backup battery and external charger but if it does last longer than stock battery that would be a nice bonus.
Edit: So this battery and charger came in a few weeks ago and both are working great. The battery life seems very similar to stock so I bet the actual capacity is around 1800. The charger works well, has a light that shows full charge and has a usb port on bottom for charging phone too. For my purposes I'm happy with this for now.
Edit2: After a few more weeks of occasional use this battery is definitely lower capacity than stock. My guess is around 1500 but no issues otherwise. The charger is working great though. Its nice to be able to charge battery out of phone and just pop in an extra battery in the meantime.

Here's my thoughts:
It's $8 for a 300 mAh upgrade. Plus, its in Hong Kong, so I don't know how quick it would ship. (Assuming you live where I do, in the United States.)
2300 mAh upgrade from stock. $20.
If you do the math, the second one is a way better deal.
http://www.amazon.com/QCell-Samsung-4100mAh-Extended-Compatible/dp/B006TQOJXI`
Yeah I agree big battery is a better deal, but I don't want a fat case and a heavy phone. This is a spare battery and charger in my laptop bag in case I need it. Its been a week already so it should arrive within the next few days. I will post some info when it arrives.
Just so you know you get what your paying for. So if this cheap battery fries your phone your out of luck with any warranties.
Ps. Don't use cheap batteries they don't have the same safe internals as oem batteries!
Sent from my Samsung Galaxy S Blaze 4g
I have yet to find a battery that is extended life and same size as stock that works as advertised. Usually after a week or two they last as long as OEM batteries do. I even read a whole article a few months ago about it and it seems they're all crap after checking voltage throughout a month span.

QI Charger/Power Bank

I wanted to get QI charger w/ my Nexus and ended up getting one that included a 10,000 mAh powerbank for basically the same price.
I thought it was going to feel pretty cheap, but to my surprise it seems like its pretty good quality. For 40 bucks for both a QI and a power bank in one it's pretty kick arse! So be forewarned the "IN STOCK" status is BS it ships from China so don't expect within a week; I think I got mine in 3 weeks.
Also the instructions are horrendous, not sure who translated it but its actually comedy. I think says something like... "Use it if it bulges, smells or smokes." (instead of dont) and has FAQ's that have no questions. Literally every line in the instructions does not make sense.
So you can use this as a normal QI charger. As a powerbank you can use QI or plug it in through the USB ports (2) which makes more sense so you dont have 30% power loss as with QI. Powerbank is same shape as phone just about twice as thick and slightly larger width and length. Finished material is smooth so if you have a hard plastic case it may easily slide off or not become centered well enough to charge. I have a case no issues charging through the case. It does also get a full charge and it does not get my phone more than warm (same as wall charger).

I'd be very interested in a test to see what the actual capacity of this is. Im always wary with a no name brand battery from China because they tend to always overstate their battery capacities. Wish there were some reviews, but I might give it a go anyway to test it out myself.
Looks interesting, but the lack of reviews make it sound dubious

Its weird how almost all of the qi power banks on amazon have no reviews. Seems like something everyone should have. Ridiculously useful. I am wondering why the one posted above is a good 25% cheaper than all the others of the same 10,000 mah capacity though.
Would absolutely love for the OP to test how many full charges of the Nexus 5 he could get from the device using USB and then Wireless charging, but that would probably take a while. Also OP, when you say that the case is smooth, is it smooth like the soft touch plastic on the back of the Nexus 5 or smooth like the shiny plastic on galaxy phones?
I'm waiting for RavPower Qi Wireless Charging Pad with a built-in 4800mAh battery coming back in stock. It seems like a great fit with my Nexus 5 as I checked a review from WPCentral.
Ordered one
Just ordered one. Will let you guys know when I get it, what it's like!

no problem but may be a few days I'm getting over a day cycle on my nexus so far. I bought it mostly for the QI charger the bank was a bonus/ I will keep a log but try and get full cycles out of it to make it easier.
As far as the smoothness it is more like the shiny plastic on the galaxy phones. My phone has a plastic case it doesn't slide to much but I could see if it got bumped it would move. I had bought a screen protector someone posted that i don't like it's kind of rubbery or tacky feel i was thinking about taking it off and putting it on the charger so it was a little more "grippy".
Give me a few days I'll put up some stats for you

Oh I know, but the ones sold under the badge of Samsung or LG are usually dead on their mah capacity ratings. Not so much for random Chinese brands I havent heard of before.

Amazons having a 50% off deal on battery packs if you buy the RAVpower qi charger. I just picked up the charger and a RAV 8400mAh pack for just over 60 bucks. I've been wanting both for a while now and this deal was just to good to pass up. I do a lot of backpacking and have been debating between a battery pack vs. a solar charger for some time now as well. The pack is actually lighter than any of the solar charges I was looking at. And for 18 bucks was a no brainer.
so here are some stats on this as a power bank not sure how much power loss over a few days is normal but after a full charge of the bank using the cable here is what I came up with:
night one charger started at 51% .49 of the full 2300 mAh nexus 5 battery = 1127 mAh
night two started at 18% .82 = 1886
night three started at 22% .78 = 1794
night four started at 28% .72 = 1656
night five started at 9% died at 32% = 529
______________________________________________________________________
TOTAL mAh= 6992

Interesting. And that is using the cable and not the Qi wireless charging? Its always said that Qi will have around a 30% loss in efficiency, which would make your numbers perfectly in line with what a 10,000 mah battery should do. Of course if you were using a cable it might just be that the low cost of the device translates to a less efficient transfer of energy. Still able to get roughly 3 full charges out of the power bank is pretty awesome.

Yea thats through the cable, I know even turned off there is power loss on rechargeable batteries but I don't know what is normal power degradation equates to in a percentage. I agree though roughly 3 full charges may not be a full 10,000 mAh bank, but at the price even if it equates to a 7000 bank its not bad. Throw in the QI (which is mainly what I bought this for anyway) and this is pretty sweet deal :laugh:
I'll do it again and see what I come up with for round 2
Does it have an auto shut off function?

it does shut off once it gets a full charge, using the cable as a powerbank. Never tried QI as a bank doesn't make sense so don't know this way.

[Q] Looking for new Battery and Charger for my S3

Hello.
At this moment i use the Stock/original Samsung Battery (2.100 mAh) and Charger ( Out: 6.0V 1.0A, Input : 0,15A )
I want to buy a better battery and charger my Samsung Galaxy s3 GT-I9300 ( Germany, when it is interesting to know, no branding )
But i don't want to buy a low quality china sh*t ( it should have a Producer warranty and have to life longer than 1 day or 2 weeks )
Also i don't want to turn my S3 into Big Phone...
It was nice when the battery should fit with the Original Case.
I found this one ( youtube.com / watch?v=BBJUj-ZgpTo - Sorry for tricking, but i can't post fully links ;o. ).
I think this battery is a nice one.
It doesnt fit with the original case, but its okay.
Maybe you know better Batterys for the Same case from the 3000mAh Battery from samsung?
And are the 900mAh more from the Samsung battery good?
about how many % life this battery longer than the orignal one !?
And yes...
I looking for a new and better Charger than the Orignal Samsung one.
Maybe one with a xtra large USB cable is nice .
Hope u can help me.
I wish you all a Merry Christmas and wonderfull Days .
Sorry for my bad english.
I'm from Germany
I am runing the Anker Battery from amazon and it has been working well for 3+ months
yes.
Maybe i take a battery with a much bigger case...
But first i want a smart one ...
I think the big one like this or the "lemon" make the phone too ugly :/.
And i dont need a battery life about 3 days .
i will be happy if it stay for 24hours by normal use with musik streaming and sometimes little bit gaming .
As far as chargers go, I'd say stock is pretty much as good as it gets. Other chargers you buy don't come with warranties and they don't provide stable output (referring to those colourful ones made in China...)
Okay... ?
Bus are there difference between the Samsung Charger?
My Black one need about the Double of time too recharge as the White one, my father got with his Note2

The black one comes with your s3, has lower output than note3 charger. Note 2 has higher battery so they have a higher charger output so that it charges fast too. I'm not sure whether charging s3 at the higher rate will affect battery lifespan though.
I bought a used Galaxy S III and the battery would barely last a day. I went to my local BatteriesPlus store and picked up a standard 7100mah. I have had no complaints...it will last me about 10-12hrs with moderate/heavy usage. It works with NFC and they also have extended batteries and covers available.

Really thank you all until now

I am running the Anker 4400mah and using Anker charger. Both have 180 day-no hassle warranty, and the customer service is top notch. The charge time is longer on larger batteries, however; if you buy two or cycle between standard batt and extended batt, you will never be without a charged battery. Personally, I run 2 Anker 4400mah and using their charger. At $20 a piece- well worth the price.
Run time varies based on usage, there are a lot of threads on this. For me-I usually get 1-2 days with heavy usage. Games, bluetooth emails, speaker phone, music player, ect.
I have also modded a trident case and otterbox to accommodate the size. You can get both on Amazon.
Hope this helps

Zero Lemon has served me well for the last six months or so. Just the other day I got 5 hours of screen time on Omega Rom 53. The charger is rubbish, though.
Personally, I would prefer to buy a spare stock battery, and keep it in the car,bag or my coat. Rather do that than take the chance with third party batteries.
Whoever voted that you only get an extra hour out of the battery clearly doesn't have one.

Yeah, I get many more hours with a 3300mah. I can get almost 2 days running 4.4.2 with moderate usage and lots of screen brightness. I like the 3300 as it keeps the for factor of the phone so all the cases fit. The 7000 is tempting though!! :highfive:
How about the ones that fit stock case what have people found to work the best
I went with this. Keeps the stock form. Get some good life with it. Def more than a day. Depends on the ROM.
