Has anybody bought this "OEM" battery on Amazon? - Galaxy Note 3 Accessories

http://www.amazon.com/Samsung-Origi...0409269&sr=1-3&keywords=galaxy+note+3+battery
I saw this battery on Amazon and I noticed it had some horrible reviews in the beginning but the most recent ones have all been 5 stars. Any ideas?

All I can say I purchased one in there they shipped right away and I got it in 4 days in my mailbox. The battery is working at 100%
But I can show you the package it's came.

How old was your previous battery? Are you noticing improved battery life? What OS version are you on, and are you stock? What's your average SoT?

I am using a custom rom Phronesis v2 and my battery life is good. Take me about 10 hours to charge again the battery. I use my phone all day playing MLB PI 15. The battery I had it'd came with the phone.
I have an AT&T note 3
With custom rom Phronesis v2.

I boought a super Cheap, High capacity battery really cheap on ebay. Thought it was too good to be true....
but...
the battery is excellent. have had it for 12 months now.

I bought one that comes with the charger to make sure I am not buying a fake battery.

You need to be really careful with some of the batteries on Amazon. I buy mine through Gorilla Gadgets and I have had no problems with them.

Get a anker most Samsung items on amazon are sold by stores or warehouses I've even seem fake mhl cables they look almost identical bit there not. China is notoriously known for doing this, they have fake everything from Nike to Bart simpson, even fake star wars items. Beware if knockoffs.

I bought mine on ebay too. I've had it for almost a year now. Battery life is good but I have noticed that it does not long as much as it used to. A few months ago I could use it for hours playing games and stuff and it would get me through the day easily. Now it's different. Can you tell if it was an original battery you bought and if yes could you maybe post the link? Thanks.

I bought a Chinese cheap battery (looked exactly like the original with minor details) and at first it was ok. After 2-3 months the degradation was noticable, at least 30% less time than the original... which was already a year old...

My Battery Collection.

All these batteries + G1 Dock with 2nd slot battery charger = WIN.
So. Many. Batteries.
Just got my other two in from ebay at $4 a pop. They were supposed to be OEM replacements but to my suprise, one of them says "1300mAh Replacement Battery For HTC G1". The other looks like a replica of an OEM battery but you can tell its not OEM. For $8 for both though, who really cares? lol, here's some pics of all my batteries.

Seidio 2600mAh With Extended Back Door $50
Andida "1600mAh" Extended Batteries (2) They are $10 each but i got em $10 for both
And of course, my stock OEM pos bloated HTC battery but you all know what that looks like.
Think i got enough Juice?
Impressive. I also have a 'defective' andida that I charge with an external charger. I have one of those white label batteries that came with one of my external chargers. It's a good emergency battery, but inferior to the OEM. I have a Seido 1400 that works pretty well. The Seido and the Andida seem to last about the same time in the phone. I still use the OEM even though it started bulging a bit. I hope that doesn't mean it's about to explode.
Depending on usage, I can rotate out all four batteries in a single day. The new radio has improved battery life, though.
How do they perform?

Yea, i was gonna spring for the Seidio 1400 but for the price, i just spent a couple more dollars and got the 2600 Extended at the time. My OEM battery is buldgy as a mofo too, that sh!t scares me sometimes lol. It dies so quick, its ridiculous.

There is no words for the Seidio 2600, that thing is a beast. 3 days easy with everything on. The Andidas last about a day and a half with heavy usage and some things turned off. The others i havent tested yet and the OEM is garbage, lasts about 4 hours max with LIGHT usage.
I have no plans on making my G1 a super brick...yet.
Hey do you have a link for the andida battery, I cant find'em anywhere .

Unforunately, he stopped selling them after the whole fiasco he went through with getting a bad batch and sending it out to everyone then having to replace them all...he just called it quits. =\
If you wanna see exactly what im talking about, just read up on the Andida 1600mAh Battery thread, its like 50 pages long from various XDA members including myself waiting months and months and months for a working $10 extended battery...it was crazy.
On another note though, i've heard there are other 1600mAh extended batteries on ebay so just do a search and they should come up. I think i remember one guy telling me about "Ecell" extended batteries? Give it a go and let us know how it goes.

I'm really curious about this one.
I wouldn't mind trying it just because we don't have NFC baked into our batteries.
Although I'm not sure how it will do vs. the OEM one
consider this is near the price of a single official battery, i think this is worth a shot!
Does this require a new battery cover? If not I might pick it up.
WOW... only 2800mah x 2 pcs + charger, It's a very good deal WOW WOW WOW
Does this fit behind the stock battery cover?

From what we can tell, yes. Just higher capacity w/ the same size.
One nice thing about this is that we get to keep our NFC while boosting the battery
Has anyone got this yet and tested it? It's very tempting... although my note's battery life is better than my skyrocket...
I highly doubt it actually has a higher capacity than the OEM battery. All of the aftermarket batteries I've tried, even though claiming to have higher capacities than OEM (2900mAh), have only been ~65-75% of OEM. They seem to have no problem lying. So the best deal so far seems to be the $3 batteries on ebay.
definitely report back with some results. I would love to know if they are atleast as good as OEM although I am always really skeptical about after market batteries as I have yet to find any that work as they claim....
I would love it if a 3000mAh could fit stock.
i would agree IF it really pans out to be a 3000MAh battery however if history dictates anything... it wont...
QCell has some good reviews on Amazon. And you also get a battery charger. I think it would be worth it

Lying???? That is a terrible thing to say. Everyone knows you can get batteries for 1/4 the price and they are just as good...especially pin Ebay!
Stick with OEM on batteries for better performance. I found out the hard way a few times.

OEM are good no doubt but definitely not the best bang for the bucks. Consider price of one oem is 4 of these. Even if they are of 80% capacity of oem, it is still much more than original capacity combined
ran some tests for a week and these are faring very well. In fact with these two batteries I don't need to use my OEM ones anymore. Both batteries last as long as the OEM batteries I have. With these two, I can go out for a full day without worry of no power This is quite good of an investment for my i717 juice sucker.
Wonder when the extended battery for this is out. Will be interesting to have just one battery and that's it

These guys are a joke. There have been no reviews showing the capacity in Mugen's batteries are more than Anker's despite it costing more than DOUBLE the price.

Dude, this batteryboss website was debunked years ago. Check your sources. I used and tested Mugen, ZL and Seidio on my Note 2 and all of them perform well.

Thanks for the opportunity to make my 4th. This is my second week on this forum, and I'm mostly reading, not posting. When I feel that I can contribute, I do. I've used smartphones for 10 yeras since E90 and used many different extended battery brands, so yeah, I stand by what I say.
I've used the Mugen Extended battery on both the original Note and the Note 2. I didn't have a problem with either. Great quality and great battery life. True the price is steep but it's a good product. If the back cover of the Note 3 extended battery was like the leather effect of the standard cover, I'd be more inclined to get it

Do they sell the back separately? There is no reason to think that the battery is better than an Anker, but the back definitely is.
How did you think they are able to charge that much?

Yes, we do, and we exchange back doors for the ordered batteries free of charge.
I wouldn't mind having an extended battery although I don't really need one. Only thing really keeping me from getting something like this is the fact that there isn't any cases that this would be compatible with and I have to have some kind of protection on my device.

I charged it during the whole night and i am using it since 10 am this morning and it is just down to 93%. really nice feeling, looks good but the phone feels and looks bigger. Will post pics as soon as i have some down time. I am using it with sprint's galaxy mega. Cheers
I've read many reviews and only good things can be said.
In one review this guy took it on a 10.5 flight fully charged . During the flight, he watched 3 full movies and listened to music in the remaining time and this beast didnt drop below 70%.

I have the Zerolemon battery on my S3 and I absolutely it. It lasts nearly a week on a full charge and its 7000mAh. With 10000mAh, the mega would be unstoppable, lol.
i have one. its HUGE tho after the case is on. its like carrying a small brick around all day , if the case was more a hard plastic like a otterbox i was gonna glue a belt clip on the back of it lol!
Just receive one today and charge it right now. Looking forward to using it. Hope it will keep my phone going for at least 3 days ^^
can you post some pics on how the mega looks like with the battery and case on?
The phone is 2 times heavier than normal and 2 times thicker ^^. But the battery last like more than 3 times longer ^^
I used to go through one normal charge from work listening to Pandora, screen on most of the time, ingress half the way. The trip is about 1 hour. I would then use it to surf and chat and video call for a few hours. By tonight I believe I will probably have to charge it. So, instead of 1-3 charges I am chargin 1x a day.
I just don't see the need. I use my phone heavily and only charge daily if even that. The thing is so thin - I can't even stand a case on it. I can't imagine turning it into a piece if masonry.

Everyone has their reasons and my personal one was I like the idea of knowing my battery wont die on me, sure its big and it might take longer to charge but I just plug it in before bed and wake up to 100%. The case, while big also adds a layer of protection as well

If someone can confirm that this really works then I will definitely buy one
I will start testing from today. Wil report back soon.
Bigger capacity batteries can not be slim ,is all the people gonna say, even some cheap and bigger,size bigger capacity doesn't have bigger capacity.
Fired up this baby. Came with 56% charge. will charge it full.
Old phone SOT : http://m.imgur.com/EgM5jNs, http://m.imgur.com/bKlPF5y
GSM battery says it is 489mah http://m.imgur.com/sq7Kuks
I will calibrate the battery. Full charge now and drain it 3 times. I have not factory reset after installing cloudy. I will do that if the battery still drains. Someone suggested that in another thread.
Edit:2
Got two different kind capacity reading:
Phone Tester: http://m.imgur.com/KLmifNQ 3000mah
Battery Monitor Widget: http://m.imgur.com/4I6bhGP 3200mah

You never win with cheap batteries. They might work okay for a few months but then start degrading rapidly, also I would bet money the battery isn't really 4,500mah. But for $17 you're not losing much.
You are right.
Only got SOT 1h 36ms since ast night and battery is already down to 31%. I have to calibrate my battery https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.nema.batterycalibration&hl=en I am draining my battery and changing it to 100%, calibrating with this app.

I have the same SOT in the same configuration. Its the ROM I guess. Other kernels didnt do any better. Learn to live with it (like I did ) if you like the rom.

They could explode, heat up and melt, leak and release toxic/harmful liquid/gas, destroy your phone, ... or just be cheap reskinned batterys that cost you $17
