Well just today my G1's battery just burnt out (Stock Version). I've been waiting for something like this to happen, and now I need a replacement battery, any local stores like Best Buy or RadioShack that sell replacemnt ones or Generic brands, & since my phone is covered under warranty could I just get a free replacement from T-Mobile.? Thanks In Advanced -jf

Best bet is Ebay, thats where i got all my extra batteries from because after awhile the OEM batteries start to blow. Just be careful and if its a real cheap battery, make sure you keep an eye on it.

dude i'm expecting the andida to come in any time this week!
it's taken almost 2 weeks, if it doesn't work im gonna crap myself
I just got this one two days ago form amazon and the extra battery life is awesome so far.
"2200mAh Li-Ion Replacement Extended Battery for Google G1, T-Mobile G1, HTC Dream, HTC Dream 100 series"
It adds some size but it's not nearly as bad as I expected.
MY battery also died on me pretty much. How I knew was it was only giving me 10 minutes of talk time then shutting off. But yea my new battery 2300 MaH battery just came in the mail today from Hong Kong bought from ebay and so far so good.. It's really good because they say you get 2-3 days of battery life and for us G1 users, 24 hours of usage is GREAT!. I'll inform you guys how it works
I bought mine from Fry's by some chinese brand lol...
works fine and has yet to fail on me.
I have a friend that works at AT&T and he just sent me a pic of this product they just got in. It is a spare battery charging system with the spare battery included and it is listed at $49. It is on the AT&T website just Google "spare battery charging system galaxy note at&t" and it is about the 6th one down.
(Sorry I'm a noob and can't post links.)
Does anyone have this? Is it worth the buy?
Here's the link for the assist....

personally I'd buy something similar from amazon or ebay before I blow $50 on a charging solution...
OEM original is a huge ripoff!
I bought this, 2 battery with battery charger for only 14.99$ !
I used this battery for 3 days now (I charge it nightly when I go sleep),
and I can't tell the different between this cheap battery and OEM original!
this cheap battery lasts just as long as original OEM!
the battery also weight the same as original, it's possible the battery made by the same company, just a different label.
battery charger works on AC and on car with microusb charging!
I highly recommend it!

The product has been in stores at launch date of the g-note, don't know why your friend's store just now receiving it. As for the item, it does what its design to do. Just make sure to connect it to a charger with more than 500mA or else it will be an all day process. I wouldn't and didn't pay $50 for this product.

If you want the OEM one order it from amazon instead. I bought mine for $30. Better off saving the $20 + tax vs buying it in store, you can pretty much buy 2 for the price of one.

Update us later to see how the batteries hold a charge after some use. Seems like a really good deal
Not that I'm questioning u and ur after market battery, just heard a lot of bad things about non OEM batteries. They may be cheaper but they don't last as long as the OEM ones even if they are larger mah batteries
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I717 using XDA
not all non-aftermarket are junk.
I used to have aftermarket battery for Sony x1,
that battery rated the same mAh as OEM
but battery is much lighter and doesn't hold that much charge.
this aftermarket battery for note is heavy, weights the same as OEM.
I have been using this aftermarket battery for 4 days now, it lasts the whole day
I have no need to swap to the other battery. (I charge phone nightly when I go sleep)
I wish someone would make a charging solution that would work with most cases...
Just curious to know who else uses a spare battery? i bought a recharger kit like the one in pic and love it. just pop the cover, take battery out and replace with the fresh one and your good to go.

Except this is more of a discussion about the question, not really Q&A material.
OP I don't use one, mainly because I don't have one if I did I would probably use it.
No offence OP, but this should be in the accessories forum, I do believe, so on your behalf ©®™ for moving
Bought two anker batteries at the same time I bought the phone, the Samsung battery is still in the box and I've never used the phone to charge. Swap the battery between the phone and charger every second morning, it's the first smart phone I've not had to worry about battery life.

I've always been a battery swapper since the early Nokia days. Can't bear the thought of not having a fresh battery there ready to go when I am. No waiting for phone to charge at the last minute when heading out of the door.
Ah, maybe I should note that for most tasks I use my Nexus 7 :laugh:. Oops-a-daisy. I use Galaxy S 3 mainly for music and when I study on bus. No gaming or movies.

boomboomer I was looking at the anker batteries when i first got the phone last year too.. but ended up going with this official samsung kit that had a spare that game with it. What capacity Anker's did you end up getting? I had a look at those big 4400mAh ones as a backup for when travelling overseas but never went through with getting one.
the one thing i hated about the iphone 4 I had last was waiting for sufficient charge whenever I had to quickly be somewhere unexpectedly. Some times Id go out for a few beers in the evening with a low charge thinking id be home soon.. end up having many, many more and so Id end up with a dead phone as im trying to find a way home.
Can honestly say that I havent ever had that issue again since investing in this phone and extra battery haha.
The ankers are the same physical size as the standard battery, just 2200mAh. The only draw back is the capacity drops quickly once below 10%, but I usually swap battery when it gets below 20%.

I use one. love it. All Samsung Galaxy S III phones ships with an extra battery so why not use it? So convenient to have one always charged in the battery charger and your phone charged with wireless charging. Qi!
R: [Q] Anyone else use spare battery?
I bkught a 2800mah battery a while ago...great, lasts a lot.
If i ever need another battery i will put back the old one...i could of course get ANOTHER 2800 and then keep switchingg it...but it would be tiresome...thats why they made rechargeable batterues in the first place...as soon as the battery wears out (5months my guess it will be 40-50% worse than when u first started using it) get another one. If you go on a trip and forget the charger, pop spare under the hood and hit low energy mode!

I. Like to have a couple around but in my experience have found only OEM batteries are as good as what comes in the box. I'm sure other people have different views!
I haven't seen any info on where to buy these. I didn't see any on eBay or Amazon (yet). Anyone?

I bought a 7000mAh battery pack from Office Depot (the brand is "IO Gear" but I'm sure there are several such products). It cost about $50. The device itself charges via a mini USB and can charge two devices at once via two USB ports that flank the mini USB.
This may or may not be what you need, but I would suggest checking it out. Not only is the battery capacity very large, but you won't have to buy new batteries every time you get a new device. Plus, it's helpful for charging devices that don't have removable batteries, like the current Nexus line-up.

That seems fishy .... 4200 mah? They added 1000 mah in the same form factor? I don't think so.

rule no.1 , never buy batteries from China. good luck. please report how you make out with this one.
Aftermarket batteries are a hit and miss thing. Some have great experiences and some just don't. I haven't gone wit any and after the recent events of exploding phones I tend to be a bit more cautious especially if my phone were to explode I want to make sure I have a solid claim with a true Samsung battery. They are little bombs next to our heads (both of them) you know.

I have been using a gold 4200 mah aftermarket battery in my GN 2 for the past year without a problem. It lasts about 15hrs on an average day. Appreciably longer than the oem batteries which serve as my backup. I've used aftermarket batteries in my last 5 galaxy phone without any problem All came from China. They're pretty inexpensive. and ebay protects your purchase.

I 100% agree with this. Never had a good experience.
The only 3rd party manufacturer I trust when it comes to using non Samsung batteries, is Anker, I'll be waiting for them to produce theirs.

Another issue with aftermarket batteries from Chinese MFG's is under-powering. Batteries need to consistently produce more than the required power to run a device, if a battery fluctuates below this threshold throughout the discharge process it can drastically deteriorate and stress many IO components. Memory, the CPU even simple logic IC's. You may not notice it at first but over time it can kill your device. Very important, and often overlooked for a $30 product on Amazon with no clear MFG docs.

YUP YUP, my buddies and I use ankers, I've been using them in my GSII for quite a while, I would "say" they work better than the OEM batteries. At least 2 AZ summers.
I've all ready had two OEM batteries swell up, my anker is still going strong. I got two anker batteries and a universal charger for $20 for my S2. I don't charge my phone on a cord anymore, I just swap in a new battery every morning and put the semi dead one in the charger.
Unfortunately one anker stopped working because I dropped it in the street one drunken night and apparently some bum walking by, picked it up, thought it might have pure gold contacts and apparently scraped it off.
I have contacted Anker about getting a couple of batteries at a lower price and was told that they will give me a discount, what happened is the rep quoted me a discount price that is higher by $5 than their amazon store and for the battery charger i have asked, they provided me with an old battery charger (71UN42V06-WUCA) that cannot charge the Note battery.
When i emailed them back I got a reply that indeed it can't charge the note 3 battery. Just imagine if i didn't do my research i would have been ripped of by them!
i had an issue with their USB hub. i contacted them and they issued me a quick refund. couldn't have asked for better customer service.
+1 for their Customer Service, it is bar none. They are the only company that offers 18 months warranty on every product their sell. We had a lot of discussions in Note 2 section of the forum about their service, lots of people chimed in to support it. Someone even misused a charger to the point where they thought it affected their phone, Anker guys actually offered to cover a repair bill for the phone (even so it wasn't their fault).
It sucks that you had a bad experience, but I would suggest contacting them again and send a link to this forum post. I'm sure they will make it right by you.
Um Anker has phenomenal customer service...
Sucks you had a bad experience but I have also been in your situation about price matching the batteries and also I ordered the wrong charger cause it wouldn't fully charge my battery (back during s4).
They resolved both issues effectively. They let me return my original purchase and repurchase the combo pack which was the same price as just one battery alone. And they made sure that I got the correct charger.
Anker is the only third party battery manufacturer that I would buy batteries from. I even bought an external Astro 12000maH charger and its excellent.

Well I use Anker batteries from quite a long time and i dont have any issue regarding the product quality, and as per regarding their customer services... I have not heard anything odd from anyone about this...and in most of the cases it is heard to be known very co operative one....So +1 for anker's customer service....
Haven't used Anker since the Captivate days, but I had 2 of their batteries. One started to swell so I contacted them and sent a pic. They replaced it with a new battery in retail packaging quickly. Don't have anything bad to say about them.
I would chalk this up to miscommunication rather than a rip off.
Emailing them for a bundled price and getting quoted a few dollars above the normal retail price and including a battery charger that doesn't charge the battery is definitely not miscommunication, at the best I will call it sloppy. Well it seems like they are efficient in cleaning up their mess when they make a mistake which is a good thing.
I use to own 4 N7000 batteries by anker and all worked well for a year before it bloats up, unfortunately I am unable to ship it back to to them overseas as my country's postal services do not allow it so I can't comment on their after service. However to add on about the batteries that I got from them, they do not seem to have a proper discharge circuit where it shuts down when there is a little battery charge left like the official Samsung battery, causing the screen on the phone to be wavy /flicker.

I use Anker batteries for my dslr and they work as good as the original. Also have batteries for my old gs2 and for both purchases they sent follow up emails to see if everything was working fine. I never had this type of positive customer service before. You should email them back they will most likely sort this out for you.

After a lot of heavy usage, one off the two Anker batteries got fat. Anker sent two new replacements that have worked great.

All four of my Anker Note 2(2 replacements) started swelling. Definitely not the same quality LiPos as Samsung.
2nd to none customer service!! I ordered the Anker 6400mah extended battery and upon opening the package the back cover was all scratched up. The battery was in perfect condition. I called Anker and spoke to a rep. She told me she will ship me a new one today and expect it in about 3 business days. It arrived as she stated. I opened the package and to my surprise a whole new Anker box which included another 6400mah battery and flawless battery cover!

Anker makes the best external battery pack .
I had bad experience with Anker. I wanted to buy a couple of battery packs as gifts and contacted them to see if they can offer me discounts. I got reply from a rep and she quoted me discount price (which I found it's even higher than their amazon store). And when I received the package, it was disappointing that two of the boxes were broken. I was worried that the battery pack may be broken. I opened one of the box, and what happened is there are scratches and fingerprints around the surface. It's totally an used one. I bought it as a gift!!!!!

If your company(Anker) is so good do you have to resort to creating fake accounts to say your company is the best? Probably not. Such dishonest behaviour only says more Anker and their practices.

Lol might have been a mistake during shipping.they usually do have great customer service. They sent me an extra battery with updated battery cover when my other one had a defect for my s3. Only thing keeping me from getting their battery now is because I haven't found a case to fit their extended battery for our note 3
