Extra batteries / external charger? - G3 Accessories

Hello,
Now that I have my shiny new G3, I'd like to get at least one extra battery and an external charger to keep them ready all the time for when I run out.
Did any of you find these available to buy yet? I can't find them anywhere (I'm in the UK but would consider international deliveries too).
Let's use this thread to post places where we can buy them.
Thanks!

I just per-ordered mine actually, and I was comparing the Korean version to the t-mobile version, and they have headphones, an extra battery and a battery charger. I Actually found the Korean LG website that sells the Battery and the Charger! BUT! I can't read Korean.. and on top of everything you need to register to order it.. Anyone else found the OEM battery and OEM charger?

I will technically have 3 batteries and 2 external chargers. I'm sure they will sell them on eBay, I may part my extra one I'll have to see when I get my replacement F400S.

Do you think we'll get a third party 3500mAh battery or something similar?

Zero Lemon has already confirmed that they're making batteries that size. They're also taking the XDA community's input in the creation of them in terms of design and feel and what not.

Bad news...
Anker says they have no plans on releasing G3 batteries
From Anker support:
Thank you for asking.
I am sorry to tell you that we don't carry a replacement battery or battery/charger combo for LG G3.
Hope you can find one.

I believe ZeroLemon said they are making a 3500 mAh battery so there is hope.

That quote says don't they carry the battery and charger. It doesn't say they don't have plans.

Don't know if it is legit, but since it is sold by amazon, if it is not legit, it goes straight back to amazon.
Ordered one.

I usually wait for Seidio to make theirs. I've had great luck with them, though, they are costly.
Due to the ridiculously cheap cost of this

I ordered it. For 20 bucks you get 2 batteries and a wall charger. Even if they aren't as good as the stock battery, in a pinch they'll do fine, I'm sure. It doesn't ship until August for those who need it now.

Yeah, the only downside is not shipping until August, but If I've been able to live with my Nexus 5 without a backup battery for the past 8 months, I should get through August with the G3.

Dear buyer,

Thank for your communication
It will fit, yes. I got this about two weeks ago. I cycled through all three that I got at least four times. My conclusion? Its nowhere near the 1500mAh that the seller claims it is. Just wait until sedio makes some or just get the oem bf5x batteries.

What's the difference between the BF5X and the HF5X?
Will BF5X or BF6X battery work with Photon ? I need to buy extra battery and most seller stated photon but they are BF and not HF5X. Thanks in advance.
I have the HF5X in my phone currently.

Yes, I had the same results. Chinese turds. The stock battery got 9:15 for me, these got two hours. Basically an emergency battery.

{¡Q!} ¿any other extended batteries yet?

I want an extended battery but don't want just a mere 2750(especially for the price they are asking). I had a 4500 on my thunderbolt and would like something around there or better.
has anyone found anything like that yet?
I also do not want a huge extended so I am waiting in hopes of a smaller one.

errr... no, i want a 'HUGE' one. i don't care if it doubles the physical size of the phone or not, just as long as it gives a sh** load of power so i'd be able to play games or watch movies all day. wee!
I don't want a different battery, I would just like to see slightly better life from this one. That being said, I haven't seen anything besides the 2750 either.

Through the end of the month according to my store. Sad though that they had no accessories on display for the rezound. They had to get them from the back
Sent from my ADR6425LVW using Tapatalk
ok so half off till the end of the month. cool.
oh and as far as.accessories on display, my local verizon only has iphone accessories out. everything else in the back.
I can also confirm that Verizon corporate stores should have this deal through December. When I went yesterday, one guy looked it up and said that the deal was no longer valid. As I was about to leave another employee suggested that the first "just scan it and see what happens". I got the deal. Apparently their system erroneously reports the deal as invalid, but it is valid...until Dec. 31st. So make sure you ask them to scan it!

Extended Batteries On Sale (GET THEM WHILE YOU CAN!)

I happened to walk into Verizon today and got the OEM extended batter for $32 after taxes! I was taking my girlfriend to look at phones again and asked the rep if they had any in, he said yes, as a matter of fact we have a special going right now for them! Couldn't pass it up!
And, FYI I hate extended batteries, but this phone is a monster and we all know it needs the power! I am very pleased! I would suggest everyone try if they don't already have one!
Yep, I picked one up today also. They're 50% off.

They actually argued with me today. Told the guy to scan it and see, and then he's like, oh I guess they are on sale. Swear sometimes that verizon didn't want my money...

I had no idea they were on sale, the rep handed it off to another rep and after my Military discount told me a different price. I told him the first dude said it was $29, he went to check and sure enough. Good thing the first guy mentioned it, otherwise I would probably have paid full price.
is it worth it? i'd have to cut one of my TPU cases to get it to fit lol

I picked it up earlier around 2pm I put it in the phone to drain it(45% upon installing), and even with 4G outtage and LTE antenna on I am still at 12%... lol. It is now 11:11.
Edit: Another thing I like, the antenna contacts are metal rather than that paper like crap in the stock back. Also, this battery doesn't seem to get as hot.
Great news. I'll have to buy online now. Thanks

I would think this goes in the accessories sub forum. Just saying. And I got my battery around $30 when I picked up my phone on Nov 18. Definitely gives the phone a more solid feel. They sell cases that fit with the extended battery. And a holster also.
This wasn't an accessory discussion, this was a heads up to folks that they are on sale if they hadn't already known. Notice the broad general discussion? Weren't you threatening to block me? lol, get out of my thread troll.

QCell 1950mAh extended battery

Was browsing around on Amazon and saw a new battery for the i777, claims to work with the default battery door. No mention of NFC capabilities so if you're looking for that I don't think this is your answer. However, I'm tempted to order one just to see how it plays with the phone and if it truly does work with the default battery door.

I'm skeptical as well for it only being $9.
I understand that but seeing as how the GTMax battery was only 13 for the extended (and it works perfectly), it wouldn't be too surprising to see this one perform decently as well. I have enough funds to sacrifice $9, so it may be a worthwhile investment if it does work as it should.
Update: Took the plunge and ordered, will definitely let you know how it works out if it does at all.
Hope it works out. if it does I may scoop one up for myself
If it works well I'll be ordering like 2 more and a separate battery charger.

is this for oyr note?
http://www.amazon.com/gp/aw/d/B006T...mp=1789&creative=9325&creativeASIN=B006TKDS54
Holy Bejeezus. Looks like it will make the note a brick and a half, but the battery life could be ridiculous depending on how good the quality is. I know a lot of times the mAh are exaggerated on off brand batteries, but at 20 bucks somebody should definitely give this a go.
This should probably be in the accessories section though.
I saw another post from a guy saying he gets a day and a half on moderate use and about a day with heavy use... Im a bit curious too

Thanks for being the guinea pig! Be sure to post some battery tests as well to compliment the pictures. Nothing too serious, just a comparison of a rundown vs. the stock battery with your normal use would be enough.
If it is able to make it through 2 days, this would definitely be the first extended battery that I would be interested in. For my previous phones, infuse and captivate, the extended batteries cannot make it through a full two days, making them pointless in my opinion. A full two days would be useful for trips and whatnot.

I'm sure your stock battery is just as likely to do the same. Hyperion is an established company that makes both normal and extended batteries for a wide variety of devices that I have seen, not just some no name piece of crap. And if your battery starts feeling warm, I'm sure you would have enough time to remove it before it explodes.
Your logic is like this: I pay 20k for a new car, so I'm not going to buy any aftermarket battery, because it could blow up. Have fun paying more for a replacement battery if you ever need one.

I don't have this battery but I did get two 2600mah batteries from hyperion and a charger for 25 bucks and they work fine
I ordered it as well. Will report with pics and results.
Are we sure this will fit our att notes. I dont see anything saying it will.. unlike here

If this company is reliable, and their product is great, then there's no problem using it. I was talking about cheap battery you can find on ebay in general. Just make sure that you're using a good battery. If it got on fire or exploded, say goodbye to your phone's manufacturer warranty.

Lol really? I've never even heard of that. All the cheap batteries I've bought I have never had a problem nor have my friends. Sounds a lil ridic to me but each to their own.

Yes, battery can get on fire or explode. Google it. even the batteries from manufacturer can do that (but in this case, manufacturer warranty covers your phone)

If aftermarket battery is reliable (3M, AAA, etc), I won't mind getting it for my 50k car.
And I'm not saying that this Hyperion brand is not good. I'm saying I don't know about it, if you want to get it, make sure that you do your research that it's good and don't just go cheap on it.
I know they can catch on fire and explode but you seem to have a better chance of winning the lottery.
Those battery covers are for international and chinese Note, even though the white one says "AT&T i717". Those Hyperion covers don't have a NFC antenna, so you lose NFC capabilities, if you use them.
And when nfc works on att and i have places in my area that have nfc the note 2 will probley be out....

I received it today, the back cover doesn't snap in right so there's no way for me to test it, needless to say the size makes it giant and holding it is just a task on its own
Sorry about the quality I had to go old school and take it with my n1
