There is nothing. It's funny cause I had the G3 before this and there were a few preorders on Amazon already. I would think there would be more for the Note 4. What sucks is, Samsung had the spare battery with a charger for $20 but it sold out real quick. Who know's when that will come back in stock. I put my email down to know when they come back in stock, but I have done that before and never heard anything.

Made in China batteries

I can't post links yet because I'm a new user, but go to ebay and search for note 4 batteries. There is one from China that has a picture of three batteries and a charger.

I've used these batteries for my Note II and Note 3. They work great for about 9 months to a year. They still hold a charge after that time, but not as well as the stock battery. The stock battery will eventually crap out too; all batteries do. It's a great deal at $20 for three batteries and a charger. I also prefer to use this charger instead of the one that comes with the phone because it charges more slowly and will give you more charge cycles on your batteries. I would also disable fast charging unless you're desperate for juice because you will get fewer charge cycles out of your batteries before they start to suck.

I wouldn't use a cheap battery option for a £630 smartphone.
[Galaxy Note 4 Accessories] Dan1909:
Exactly this!

Batteries are not something people should cheap out on, for the sake of only £10 or so! Nearly all the cases posted around the internet of people's phones going up in smoke are due to cheap, third party batteries and/or chargers. Then there's the issue that most cheap third-party replacement batteries will have far less than the advertised capacity.

They're just a risk that is not worth it.
[Galaxy Note 4 Accessories] chong67:
Did you bought those from China? How is it? Anyone knows?
[Galaxy Note 4 Accessories] drainbamaged:
I love the made in China batteries.

I understand the concerns with using a cheap battery, but I've used the ones on ebay for years now without any problems or harm to my devices. The savings are not a mere 10 quid. You get three batteries for half the price of one. The made in China batteries definitely don't last as long as the stock battery, but I've never seen one blow up and I'm not afraid or concerned about it ruining my phone.

There is one legitimate drawback compared to the stock battery though. The NFC chip is embedded in the battery on the note 4 so if you use NFC a lot then clearly you should stick with a stock battery.

I hardly ever use NFC so I'll still use the made in China battery from ebay.
[Galaxy Note 4 Accessories] JeffATL:
I agree 100% with you. I am not worried about the battery blowing up. Its rare. And for my S3 and Epic prior to that they served their purpose. Backup for when you run out of power.

However, based on other thread if I can buy Samsung's for 50% off battery and charger ($20-$25) I would do it, just OOS.
[Galaxy Note 4 Accessories] Nate Rules:
Yeah, personally I have bought those cheap Chinese batteries off of Ebay, and I don't think they are worth it. I'm not worried about them ruining my phone, that is very unlikely. They just don't last long enough. I'm waiting for a reputable company to come out with a set with a charger. Like Anker. That usually runs about $30 bucks with 2 batteries and a charger compared to what $80 for the Samsung one. Even if they are .01% more likely to ruin my phone, that doesn't warrant spending an extra $50 like some people would lead you to believe.
[Galaxy Note 4 Accessories] jah:
Anker are very good, and not cheap as OP was talking about. I would use Anker but not a cheap option.
[Galaxy Note 4 Accessories] Nate Rules:
But Anker hasn't been to quick to get batteries out. I would suggest buying the Caseology batteries when they become available on Amazon. They always put up a preorder with a really good price but a ship date that is a month away. I always resist ordering it hoping that something will come sooner but they are usually the first and by the time they ship they are more expensive. And they get pretty good reviews.
[Galaxy Note 4 Accessories] Gareee:
FWIW, when I went to charge the batteries for our trade in phones, both stock batteries couldn't hold a charge at all.. BUT the cheap extended batteries I'd purchased from china had no issues at all.

(As a matter of fact, one of the stock batteries had developed that battery bulge we've heard about, and I couldn't even put the back on the phone with it in!)
[Galaxy Note 4 Accessories] moralesd66:
Just buy the official spare and charge from Sammys site for 50% off.

[Galaxy Note 4 Accessories] californiarailroader:
They're currently out of stock, and on backorder.
[Galaxy Note 4 Accessories] moralesd66:
They get em in fast. Check 2x daily.

posted via my Obsidian VZW Note 4
[Galaxy Note 4 Accessories] Gareee:
Odds are we'll see quick chargers paired with 2 batteries on ebay soon for $12 shipped or so, similar to other phone battery options.

Since that's less than 50% the cost of the Sammy's I'll just wait for a week or two for them.
[Galaxy Note 4 Accessories] Uniquebarbee:
there are several on eBay just be careful as some are just 3000 MAH and some are 5400 MAH so just choose wisely if you decided to buy from eBay but most offer 2/3 batteries for 15$ or so
[Galaxy Note 4 Accessories] jay_jay_n:
can you post which coupon code you used? because the ones i'm finding aren't valid even on the other current in stock accessories.
[Galaxy Note 4 Accessories] rcobourn:
Keep an eye on this thread for coupon codes. ;)
[Galaxy Note 4 Accessories] moralesd66:
A key step in the process is to log in the Samsung site with your Sammy or google account. Search the 50% off thread. I'm sure the most recent user generated codes work. Ive done it twice. Never have to plug this beast in just swap in the morning. Its fabulous.

Hyperion has a set up for pre order on Amazon, two batteries and a charger for 19 bucks- Samsung Galaxy Note 4 Replacement Battery. Hyperion Dual Replacemen... http://www.amazon.com/dp/B00OQBH5SY/ref=cm_sw_r_udp_awd_1nQuub01Z0V0M It says they will be in stock on November 11th.
[Galaxy Note 4 Accessories] Gareee:
If those are any good, they might make for a better replacement to the stock battery!
[Galaxy Note 4 Accessories] Nate Rules:
That is exactly what I have been waiting for. What worries me is they don't say that they have NFC. I know in the past, companies would send out batteries without NFC but add it to the batteries like a week later. Am I correct in thinking that the NFC is on our batteries?
[Galaxy Note 4 Accessories] Gareee:
That's why I'm waiting as well. I don't know if I'll use nfc much, but want the option.

When we got the galaxy s3 phones, we got a bunch of those programmable nfc stickers, and I never bothered to use them. Maybe now is the time?
[Galaxy Note 4 Accessories] rcobourn:
More and more bluetooth devices are incorporating NFC for quick pairing. Tap and pay via NFC is finally looking like it will go mainstream. I would suggest not giving up NFC for sake of a cheap battery.
[Galaxy Note 4 Accessories] elite-fusion:
Wait...NFC is built into the battery?

I thought it was something that was on the phone it self under the battery door...?
[Galaxy Note 4 Accessories] nlanter95:
That's exactly what I was thinking!

I also saw two 4600mAh for $12.xx total on eBay, not sure how those would be either.
[Galaxy Note 4 Accessories] rcobourn:
Nope. Take your back cover off, NFC still works. On my old Note 2 it was in the cover. Not sure about the Note 3.
[Galaxy Note 4 Accessories] badtoy1986:
WOW, I'm shocked.. I just looked up the FCC filing and found that the NFC antenna is indeed located in the battery.
[Galaxy Note 4 Accessories] Bmerz:
*Sold* =)
[Galaxy Note 4 Accessories] californiarailroader:
It was on the battery in the Note 3.
[Galaxy Note 4 Accessories] adorkablejuliep:
I just ordered this (tired of waiting for Samsung to get stock!) and went searching to see if anyone else had gotten one yet. My oem battery lasts me until about 9pm so I'd like a little more juice. Grabbed a cheap Chinese charging case for it too for $7. No rapid charging or nfc but worth a try for the price. I've used some Chinese batteries off eBay in the past and never had issues so I'm expecting the same this time around.
[Galaxy Note 4 Accessories] californiarailroader:
Let us know how they are! I have been waiting on Samsung to get the battery with charger in as I have that 50% off coupon, but I may give up and just go with eBay or Amazon.
[Galaxy Note 4 Accessories] nlanter95:
I'm definitely interested in how it performs, be sure to let us know how it is when you get it!
[Galaxy Note 4 Accessories] drainbamaged:
Got mine

I received my batteries from China yesterday. It's the one on ebay from china for 3 batteries and a charger for $18.88. There is no NFC antenna on it. The battery performs just as well as the stock battery brand new, but I know from experience that these batteries get fewer charge cycles than the stock battery and they will only hold 75% of its charge after a year.
[Galaxy Note 4 Accessories] Moshimaro:
I think you all should wait just a little until manufacturing companies catch up. You can get 10.400 mAh batteries for the Note 3, which means we'll soon be able to get Note 4 compatible high capacity batteries.
[Galaxy Note 4 Accessories] clintonroche:
Yeah you can get those 10,000+ mAh batteries if you want a reverse beer belly on your Note.... hahahaha

I will probably get a few of the 3 for $18 batteries in a few weeks. Just change them on heavy days. I will only have this phone for a year, probably anyhow, If i do have it that long. LMAO!!!
[Galaxy Note 4 Accessories] adorkablejuliep:
I second this. My Chinese batteries work just as good as stock for about 6 months to a year given no NFC but the charge starts to drop and the cycle life is definitely shorter than oem. The extended ones do last longer than the stock in terms of battery life, but not significantly, maybe an hour more at best. For price point and my short term needs, works out perfect. My 4500mah shipped Monday so I should have them next Friday.
[Galaxy Note 4 Accessories] erwinyap69@gmail.com:
I ordered 2 4500mAh extended stock size & 1 7600mAh extended with back cover from eBay
[Galaxy Note 4 Accessories] Gareee:
What does the phone look like with the extended back cover on?
[Galaxy Note 4 Accessories] erwinyap69@gmail.com:
HI... Sorry but I should have said I just bought or I just ordered this from eBay.. I'll probably do a video when I get the Batts
[Galaxy Note 4 Accessories] Joey2o11:
The only 4500mah thing about that battery is the writing on it...... Do you not think if it was possible to make a 4500mah battery that size Samsung would have done it??? You're a brave man using that cheap piece of crap in your expensive new phone......
[Galaxy Note 4 Accessories] erwinyap69@gmail.com:
Now now common don't be scared!! I'll just buy another one if it craps out on me....

I've used these batteries for my NOTE 3 and S3...... No worries and all phones were Overclocked.... No issues at all....
[Galaxy Note 4 Accessories] ciscostud:
Anker batteries are cheap and work fantastic.
[Galaxy Note 4 Accessories] sdlopez83:
I was a big Anker fan I have bought like 20 batteries in the past. I stopped purchasing them because the black strip on the opposite side of the connectors would come off when the device would heat. The glue just wears off.

---------- Post added at 04:37 PM ---------- Previous post was at 04:16 PM ----------

I got them also, they mistakingly sent me Note 3 batteries i think. They are a mm thinner and do not charge to 100% . Good backup batteries to leave in my car just in case. They said they will send me the correct Note 4 batteries but we'll see.

---------- Post added at 04:38 PM ---------- Previous post was at 04:37 PM ----------

Just Ordered 2 of these to try them.

Also ordered chinese batteries for years and they never fail. The anker and the stock ones have though.
[Galaxy Note 4 Accessories] drainbamaged:
The batteries you got were the correct ones. The note 3 batteries are more square and don't even come close to fitting the note 4. The China batteries don't fit flush. They're a mm thinner like you said, but the length is good and it fits in the phone fine. You're right about them not charging to 100%. As a backup battery they are still great. Sounds like you'll be getting 2 more in the mail. They'll be the same, a mm thinner but with 4 batteries sounds like you won't have a problem running out of juice.

I used to store mine in the car too, but during the summer months or if you live in a hot climate this will hurt the life of the batteries. I guess they're cheap enough that it doesn't matter, but it's something to note.
[Galaxy Note 4 Accessories] adorkablejuliep:
It's out for delivery today. I'll test it out over the next couple of days and put up my findings this weekend. It's a 40% increase in mah so I'm hoping to get 2-4 hours extra juice a day based on my current life of approx 12 hours but we'll see.
[Galaxy Note 4 Accessories] sdlopez83:
Really? Damn

Well the seller said he sent me the wrong ones after he checked up on my order. He said he would send me the correct ones after I change the negative review. he could be rickrolling me but i don't have anything to lose.
[Galaxy Note 4 Accessories] nlanter95:
Please do!
[Galaxy Note 4 Accessories] LeoNote4:
I was going to buy that guy's battery on ebay until I saw all his listings. He's got too many different types of batteries for note4. One thing that really stood out is the extended battery for over $100 and then a larger capacity extended battery for $6. Is he clowning? I think I'm going to skip.

Note 4 beats your Note 3, just sayin...
[Galaxy Note 4 Accessories] ausi:
I believe that the Original Samsung battery includes the NFC Antenna in, this doesn't have it,...........or am i wrong in my assumptions?

See this link

[Galaxy Note 4 Accessories] californiarailroader:
Just a heads up, the OEM battery with charger kit is now in stock on Samsung's web site, I just ordered one, it was $22.98 with the 50% off coupon I got for registering my Note 4, tax was $1.71 and 3-Day UPS shipping was $3.95, total of $28.15.

http://www.samsung.com/us/mobile/cell-phones-accessories/EB-KN910BWUSTA

I'll have it sometime next week.

Edit- Wow, I must have gotten the last one, or next to last one, if you try and get it now it's back to showing as back ordered.
[Galaxy Note 4 Accessories] nlanter95:
I don' t think it has NFC, personally I don't care but some may.
[Galaxy Note 4 Accessories] adorkablejuliep:
Day 1 - can't say I'm happy with it (but then again it was $7 so I can't really complain). It stops charging at 90% and never goes over that whether I use the Chinese cradle or OEM USB charger. Been off the charger for approximately 5 hours and at 33% and about 2 hours on screen time. You guys might find that horrific but I've been streaming MelOn music app for 4 of those hours at an avg discharge rate of 11.4% an hour. On OEM 3220mah, I get approximate 4.5 hours on screen time and about 14 hour total usage from 100%-1% so about an average of 7.2% discharge/hour (8 of those hours I'm streaming music). So this battery drains twice as fast and does not live up to 4500mah, but $7 for an extra 7 or so hours is acceptable to me when compared against the OEM battery price of $30 (excluding the 50% discount for registered Sammy users). I could also have a dud considering it won't fully charge. Maybe day 2 will have better results but I emailed the seller - I'm guessing they'll give me partial refund or send me another one.

I'll also note that the cheap $7 cradle on ebay will not fit T-Mo OEM batteries. It only fits "international" batteries like the Chinese extended one I ordered that happens to actually be just a tiny bit slimmer than OEM, which might explain why it certainly doesn't act like a 4500mah battery.

Does not have NFC but I don't use it so doesn't bother me.
[Galaxy Note 4 Accessories] Joey2o11:
So the cheap ebay battery turns out to be rubbish....that's hardly a surprise.
[Galaxy Note 4 Accessories] nlanter95:
Damn, that's too bad, but thank you!
[Galaxy Note 4 Accessories] bakabakablah:
I've used Anker batteries in the past for my Note 2 and I think their quality is hit or miss. From a sample size of 24 Note 2 batteries (total of about 3 or 4 lot numbers, so not all from the same batch) 23 of them had issues with swelling after about 8 or 9 months' use. However, because of their stellar customer service I wanted to try their brand again to see if they fixed their QC issues and ended up sending them an email asking when they'll have batteries for the Note 4 in stock.

I received this email from them:

And just to see if their batteries were going to have NFC compatibility, I sent them another email and got this response:

Looks like it'll be worth waiting for the Anker batteries to get released, since it doesn't seem like Samsung can keep their OEM ones in stock. :good:
[Galaxy Note 4 Accessories] adorkablejuliep:
This is actually the first battery I've gotten off eBay that didn't meet my expectations. Out of probably 5. Past were all those gold labeled batteries, no idea what brand they were but they were great. Seller offered me 50% refund.
[Galaxy Note 4 Accessories] chong67:
I saw on ebay there is this seller from S Korea selling Genuine Samsung battery + charger. So you might want to go that route if Samsung site is always OOS.
[Galaxy Note 4 Accessories] sdlopez83:
Welp, received this battery and it is the same as the other Chinese batteries. They are slim in width and not as wide as oem no way is it 4500mAh. Malarkey.. Don't buy this crap.
[Galaxy Note 4 Accessories] erwinyap69@gmail.com:
Yes I just got mine yesterday and I have the same... Just a little too thin but does work and the Adaptive Quick Charge does work.... They'll do till ZeroLemon comes out with their batteries around Xmas

2 out of 2 bad reviews stating the battery falls out of the charger - I would not take a chance

Frustrating as hell that Sammy is still OOS on the external battery and charger
[Galaxy Note 4 Accessories] FormeriPhoney:
Tell me about it. I ordered it with the code.. $19.99.. 5 days later they send me a backorder email. That's was 5 weeks ago..

Not for nothing.. After reading this reviews, Wouldn't it just be easier to put a thin rubber band around it? I know its not ideal, but at that price and if that's the only issue.. It's worth having a try
[Galaxy Note 4 Accessories] JeffATL:
I think its the Slickdealer/(and XDAers but mostly Slickdealers) who bought multiple to sell on ebay/amazon to make a lousy $20 after fees, which is why they are out of stock.

I think they will have them in stock by end of month. Granted its $45 now but only $2.50 difference after 50% so I would prefer to wait for OEM. The rubberband thing might work though, but remember you have to position the battery so its charging which could get annoying. I have an S3 battery charger from ebay and sometimes I have to reinsert it to make the charge light go - I'd rather wait for Samsung brand.

By the way the battery on the N4 has been awesome. Especially with the quick charge. I have yet to run out of battery.
[Galaxy Note 4 Accessories] FormeriPhoney:
True. I wouldn't mind Anker. I shot them an email today.

They Have done batteries and chargers really well. I own several. Excellent customer service too
[Galaxy Note 4 Accessories] californiarailroader:
Just keep checking back often, I did and was able to snag the charger/battery combo on the 12th of this month, I must have gotten the last one because it went out of stock again right after I ordered it.
[Galaxy Note 4 Accessories] clickerman123:
Best Buy has the batteries in stock. You can go to their website to find out which particular store has them. But they cost $50 + tax.
[Galaxy Note 4 Accessories] FormeriPhoney:
Yea I know. They aren't worth $50. But I think Android central / crack berry has them for $37
[Galaxy Note 4 Accessories] chronometal:

Best Buy will price match, even with online stores like Amazon.
[Galaxy Note 4 Accessories] lorddeadxiter:
If you are looking for cheap battery since you have Note 4 which is not cheap...something strange is with you.

You can expect short circuit failure. Cheap batteries doesn't have any special logic board which controls it.

When I had Nokia 3110 I used cheap battery and burn my room. I highly disrecommend to use any cheap battery.

Note 4 cost 760€ (in my country) and official battery 25€ - it's not much. Also battery has NFC antenna for device....
[Galaxy Note 4 Accessories] FormeriPhoney:
Went to 3 best buys tonight here in New York... Not 1 had any in stock. I was equipped with my price match paperwork too
[Galaxy Note 4 Accessories] californiarailroader:
Oh man, that stinks! Will they price match when ordering from their Web site? I'm 70 miles north of the nearest Best Buy (it's in Santa Rosa), so I only make it down there once a month or so [emoji16]
[Galaxy Note 4 Accessories] tkbredx:
So if I go to best buy with the 50% off code of Sammys battery kit... Will they give me the battery kit for $20?
[Galaxy Note 4 Accessories] californiarailroader:
I seriously doubt it, that coupon is issued by Samsung, and for use only from their online store.
[Galaxy Note 4 Accessories] FormeriPhoney:
OK. I heard back from anker.. Good news.. Batteries are coming!
[Galaxy Note 4 Accessories] californiarailroader:
Right on, thanks!
[Galaxy Note 4 Accessories] rcobourn:
You would have a chance of a price match at Bestbuy if you had a printout of the item from Samsung's web site with the coupon applied, but I don't think you can do that if the item is still out of stock.

I could send you a copy of my receipt to try to price match with, but I ordered two so it might confuse the issue. Maybe someone who ordered one could do likewise.
[Galaxy Note 4 Accessories] FormeriPhoney:
That's what I was carrying too. Just couldn't find one store with them in stock[emoji35]
