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.
Galaxy S III has a really good battery life so I don't use an extended battery

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!

What is the largest reputable battery avail for the N3 and able to keep the factory backplate?
Secondly, what would be a good replacement battery with a replaceable backplate?
On my N2 I had the ZeroLemon 9300mah battery and loved it. Not having to charge my phone every day or worried about battery life was a blessing.
Interested in this as well

if you had a carrier branded note2 probably not, but if you had the international note2 it got better battery life than note3. and i never flashed anything custom on it. just rooted.

I had the 9300 Zerolemon with my N2 and loved it. I like the thin for factor but need function and usage over slim-ness. For instance, I took my N3 off the charger this morning at around 7 am and around 6 - 7pm I was getting a low battery indicator. In the N3's defense, I am on my phone all the time. I am always on the net, my blue tooth is always on (because I use it), I'm always getting phones calls and text. My emails are constantly flowing. Obviously I work off my phone (literally) so I need a battery that will carry me through the day and then some.
You should get a qi battery pack, if you are the type to set your phone down while working place it on the qi and charge it on the go.

It would be nice but at that price, I think I will just wait until Zerolemon releases their battery. It's 9th now and I'm taking my battery off the charger now. Lets see how long it lasts today
AceSoft has 3660mAh with default backplate. Amazon has sellers selling it but it is advertised as 3300mAh.

I know coming from a device with a 1700-2000mah battery, the newer N2 and N3 are great for their battery upgrades. As Ive said before, I had the ZeroLemon 9300 on my N2 and loved it. I am by definition, a heavy user. For example, with my N3 and stock battery, I took it off the charger at 9am this morning. Keep in mind my Location, Wifi, S Pen, heptic feedback, NFC, Sbeam and almost everything else are disabled as they are things I dont need. I do not use a live wallpaper. I do however used blue tooth, text, emails and my browser quite a bit.
So, off the charger at 9am and by 3.30pm I was at 23% and by 5.40pm I was at 15%
Hi, just check this battery for N3 it's standard size and 100mAh higher than stock, any one have experience with this?

Yeah, i would love to know how 'micropack' works. Don't really believe they managed to pack an extra 1000MAH!!!!
I heard it's heavier which makes sense being samsung might not have packed as much as they could in there, to cut down on weight

Sorry bud. There is no such thing.
All of these magic batteries are either rebranded or just cheap batteries with stickers covering the actual labels.

I got them but I haven't tested fully yet. I charged them and ran one down to 0 and fully charged it for 12 hours. I meant to bring it today to see how it held up but I forgot it. When you put in any new battery the device goes through this crazy battery drain syncing and such so I didn't want to reply until I cycled it a couple times. But my first impressions are good, as I said I loved them on my Note 2 and I'm sure they will be fine on the 3. A little side note, my Note 2 battery lasted longer than my Note 3 does.

Will reply with my findings in a few days. Gotta make sure I cycle completely.

Well it started off good and then at around 50 percent it died extremely fast. I have my second battery with me, I am going to calibrate it and see if that helps. The stock battery lasts a but longer but I'm hoping this is just a cycle issue and it will get better with time. My Note 2 had a similar issue in the beginning but the batteries got better.
Note 3 Pimp Slapped
Wow. Peel the label off to see what it really is.
I'm hoping it's just requires a cycle but I'm with poster above. Everything was going good just before 50%. Then it dropped rapidly

Any update? I'm on the fence to buy.
Thanks
I'd be interested in an update too but the reviews on Amazon don't look too promising. 3/5 stars.
Here's my quick review. Don't waste your money. You get what you pay for with this one. I gave the batteries a couple of cycles, and they don't even last as long as the original. As soon as the charge is at 100% within 5 min it drops to 95%, and then a steady drop after that. Both batteries are the same, so it's not like one is bad. The original can last much longer. I've had extended batteries from other companies, and these are by far the worst. My top two are Mugen and ZeroLemon. Stick with those brands.
Hello everyone!

I do highly recommend. Never more than $15, I'd suggest give 25% more life, and having used them for maybe over a year each on two different phones, I don't notice the life dropping.
A few weeks ago I swapped to my original battery, forgot I had done so, and suddenly wondered why my phone was draining fast.
I've got no connection to the company, and in my early Note 1 days I'd buy dozens (well, loads), of unofficial batteries and these were my fave. As others say, I hear good things about Anker too. But find an MPJ on eBay and you'll be happy.

Yes we are looking for a battery with more mAh and that you do not need to change the look of the phone. IDo not like the phone thicker. Manufacturers are frivolous batteries up to 3200 mAh and the label put 3500.4200 mAh. So I saw the people at KING. I opened the outer handout was printed inside the battery and 3200mAh and I gave a lot of money. I could die a fool I am. The only original batteries are slim, so. Too bad those are not the ZeroLemon and slim extended battery for Note 3 as make 3000 mAh Galaxy S4 and are very good.

We have options:
1-Use an external battery case
2-Have an extra battery so when the first battery gets low, you just swap to the new one. The problem is that the phone shuts down (except if you have external power source plugged)
3-Using a battery charger, basically a battery with a cable you plug to your phone and charge.
I'd go 2 or 3, but 2 can be bad if you dont have a external battery charger that you plug on the wall , and 3, it takes lots of time to charge the note 3 specially if you are not using USB 3 or a capable device with high charging capacity

And you're so right.
A couple of years ago (around the time the nokia 3210got released) my aunt bought a chinese battery for an alcatel phone. The battery went boom and it took her a long time to be able to leave her phone charging till it was full.

So, I had fantastic battery life on MM. After N, it has not been great. A lot of people report the same. I also talked to people that went back to M, but didn't see the benefits return.
What I'm thinking is that our batteries are quickly degrading at this point (if you've had it since launch or not long after). A couple months ago I ran Accubattery and it reported that my battery health was at 89%. I ran it just recent and now my battery is at 81% it's designed capacity.
Is it possible for a battery to degrade that quickly? Is this to be expected? I'm debating whether or not I should get my battery replaced or hold off and buy the OP5 when it comes out. Anyway, I love this phone.
Im experiencing the same problem as many users have it too .Accubattery reported that i have 56% of battery life , I don't know if it's accurate or not(don't forget accubattery measures battery life from software input through comparisons)...but in real life.. we really have a bad battery-life problem. technically, im convinced that it is a hardware issue( due to faulty battery or fast degradation...), because many Nexus 6p users have replaced the battery and it worked as it should.., but on the other hand, it is really weired that this issue has existed after nougat update! Moreover, some pixel users reported the same problem( different phone generation, different core hardware, different manufacturer, same software developer )and it was fixed by google in 7.1.2 as i read recently. I'm really confused ?

Have you noted a decrease with another phone using the same app? I have seen anyone use the battery capacity part of Accu outside the 6P. It could be the app measuring it wrong and the same readings could be happening to other phones as well.

They definitely cut corners on the battery, Chinese electronics you buy online (tablets, etc.) are known for this and I feel like that's what happened here as well. I wonder if the people getting replacements are getting stock ones or from other companies, since I'm worried a stock one would have the same issues after a brief amount of time.

Can't speak for others, but from personal experience, the 6Ps that I have seen behave just like other phones. Unfortunately every phone manufacturer may have their issues, I have seen countless battery issues on other phones, including early shutdowns that has even plagued iOS devices.
It's a good thing that manufacturers offer warranty. Lemon law should also apply in those unrepairable situations.

I'm really considering getting the one plus 5. Pixel looks amazing but I can't justify the price tag
The Huawei battery that comes with the 6P is really bad considering many of them (like the one I had before I did the replacement) lose more than 50% battery capacity in less than 2 years and stop reporting precisely the % from 100% to 1% causing instants shutdowns.
I highly recommend you to replace your battery with a non Huawei battery like the X-Longer. It's as good as the stock battery when the phone is brand new. Now I honestly can't tell if this battery will lose less than 10% in 2 years (regular good batteries) or more than 10% in 2 years (Nexus 6P stock battery, at least many of them)

I did it myself. I've equipped before doing it.
- Cameron sino battery
- heat gun
- precision knife and one poker card
- and some generic repair tools.
The glass is not the worst part. It just requires patience I feel that I can remove the glass many times without an issue.
Now in my case...the removal of the cover was the most difficult part...
It's painful but I had a unusable brick before...(2 hours SoT and shutdown at 20%. Now I have a usable phone...4:30 SoT and shutdown at 1%. So I don't care if I estetically damaged a bit the corner).

I've had my 6P since the first month they shipped for Google Sept/Oct 2015. I had decent battery life until recently. Never experienced shutdowns or anything weird. I've been rooted since day one but running stock. Was on 7.0 until finally flashing April 7.1.2 the other day.
Installed Accubattery and health is at 60%. Since april update battery seems to drain far more rapidly. Usage is mainly web surfing via wifi.
Guess I need to find best available replacement battery soon. Is it ok to buy battery in advance and lying around for a few months before installing?
For best battery health what are do's and don'ts.
At home I often just left it plugged in while in use and or charged to 100% then again when down to ~30%. I'd leave it plugged in overnight. Is using fast charger all the time not good?
