$59.75 after shipping? No thanks. Wait till lg comes out with it and hope for some deals. So I can buy like a 6 pack. Getting phones with swappable batteries these days is rare. And having a few extra if you plan on keeping more than 1-2 years or selling after a year or two really helps resale value so next person has a couple fresh batteries for their "new" toy. Might buy some more gnote4 batteries while I can. I have 3 new ones left and I just popped this one in about 3 months ago.
[LG V20 Accessories] volfan22:
Can't wait until these are more readily available and at a much more reasonable price. Will be so nice to go back to the time when I could just pop a new battery in and not have to worry about charging my phone for days at a time.
[LG V20 Accessories] biggnaa20:
Even if it lasted all day with heavy usage, I'd still use the user changeable battery pretty often. I swap when I am in the field, on loooong bike rides, on vacation, or after I leave work and just don't want to sit waiting for the thing to charge. I'm so happy LG kept this feature.

I'm really happy people are reporting good battery life though.
[LG V20 Accessories] naturecannon:
Batts are back on Amazon. 59.99 is a bit steep in my opinion, I don't need one that bad yet!!
[LG V20 Accessories] CadillacMike:
I am still hoping LG does some kind of freebie
[LG V20 Accessories] kms108:
They do, different countries have different offers, we in Hong Kong get an extra year warranty, in the Us I thing a pair of B&O H3 IEM.
[LG V20 Accessories] CadillacMike:
I meant a freebie battery and charger
[LG V20 Accessories] kms108:
Im sure if there is one, it will be available by now, may be once the first promotions finishes they might have a second one, I'd rather have the H3 IEM.
[LG V20 Accessories] EROMITLAB:
So far after 4 days of heavy use I can honestly say that battery isn't something you'll have to worry about.
[LG V20 Accessories] neverborn:
Over here, pre-order's worth about 640 USD.

We get a 200GB Sandisk microSDXC card, a spare battery and charger kit, plus the B/O headset.
[LG V20 Accessories] 12iVaL116:
where is here?
[LG V20 Accessories] neverborn:
Manila, Philippines
[LG V20 Accessories] gejenn:
I don't think we're getting one here in the US. Only freebie right now is the B&O Headset.

I ordered mine right away from Korea. Took less than a week to arrive via FedEx.
[LG V20 Accessories] CadillacMike:
where did you order it from? does it all look legit, like official LG?
[LG V20 Accessories] PlayerR:
Got mine this morning from Verizon, so far so good on the battery life. Only slight thing I'm pissed about is the cords from my V10 & G4 don't work, they changed the charging port size.
[LG V20 Accessories] kms108:
Gmarket
[LG V20 Accessories] poczynek:
I can only find ones with domestic shipping - do you have a link to the one you got?
[LG V20 Accessories] kms108:
I didn't get one, but I did get spare battery for my V10 and G5 in the past, but never had the chance to use it.
[LG V20 Accessories] Swizzle82:
I used the spares on the G3 G4 and V10.. Lg phones hog battery plain and simple. I will eventually be ordering a spare as I can already tell I'll need it. Having a back up battery is almost a must.. I'm probably gonna dump my headphones and buy a battery instead. I use the Lg Tone Infinum Platinums so I don't need a wired headset.
[LG V20 Accessories] CadillacMike:
yeah I have had my V20, for less than 24 hours, and the battery seems lame. So was the battery on the V10, so i kind of expected it, but still sucks.

and i would really want to get some wireless charging action going
[LG V20 Accessories] kms108:
Get the free H3 and sell it to get the battery, you should also get extra money back.
[LG V20 Accessories] Swizzle82:
That's my plan exactly.
[LG V20 Accessories] Daniel323la:
Bought mine from Amazon! Looks to be sold out already?! I did see it avail in eBay also (from Korea)...My seller was within the states.
[LG V20 Accessories] planetbeen:
Ack! Wasn't it $99 on Amazon? That's what it was showing when I saw it up there...

Sent from my awesome T-Mobile LG V10!
[LG V20 Accessories] Daniel323la:
I must have bought it before the prices went up... Both battery and charging cradle came out to like $69 ish.
[LG V20 Accessories] gejenn:
Order off eBay.. Everything looks OEM.
[LG V20 Accessories] kms108:
In hong kong we can get them for about USD 30, for most people you can buy it for the stated price when you purchase the V20, but since I know the shop, I can get it when every I want.

Haven't got it yet, still deciding whether I need the extra battery, I did get it for the V10 and the G5, but haven't really used it much.

The only extra we get in Hong Kong is a extra one year warranty from LG, but I also got a PET screen protector and 2 cases.
[LG V20 Accessories] dragion:
Any way to spread that savings to a brother from another mother here in the US? ;)
[LG V20 Accessories] kms108:
I don't this it's possible, i think it's one per person, even if I can, the problem is with shipping, no battery is allowed for shipped by air or water, a safety report from government body must be obtained to confirmed it's safe to do so, cost too much for the test for individual case.

This has be enforced for a while about a year or so.
[LG V20 Accessories] dragion:
I was just joking...I know about the battery safety precautions.

Thanks anyway :)
[LG V20 Accessories] icemanscion:
They gonna sell these state side? Would like to just walk into a store and purchase one rather than wait for the shipping time. And why is the price so high?
[LG V20 Accessories] dmarco:
Might sound like a silly question, but is the Korean kit OEM?
[LG V20 Accessories] gejenn:
Yes it is.
[LG V20 Accessories] Bralgar:
I just got my v20 yesterday and have been searching for the battery kit... I'm leary of ebay with it maybe being a counterfeit Chinese knockoff.... And 100 for the same kit on Amazon? No way
[LG V20 Accessories] prinzhernan:
So badly need this. It's sad that this isn't offered by the official LG store in my country. :(
[LG V20 Accessories] KOLIOSIS:
Virtually no one outside of Korea has instant access to this battery kit.

Can you not order & have it shipped to you from e-Bay/Amazon/etc................................
[LG V20 Accessories] prinzhernan:
Shipping from outside is kinda horrible in my country though. I don't understand why they can't make it available in all of the countries they release it in, I mean they're obviously promoting that fact that it has a removable battery.
[LG V20 Accessories] KOLIOSIS:
You're preaching to the choir my man,I couldn't agree more. :good:

LG's accessory availability outside of Korea is nonsensical to say the least.

I understand the logistics enough to know having items imported to your location is a long drawn-out process at best:

I have a friend who returns home to the Philippines every year or so to visit family & takes a minimum of three weeks vacation to do so,with about 1/3-1/2 of that time dedicated for travel to & fro...............
[LG V20 Accessories] kms108:
Not true, you can get them all over hong kong from offical channel or gray import, official price is about usd 38, if you purchased the phone it will cost only usd 30.
[LG V20 Accessories] KOLIOSIS:
I did say virtually no one, knowing there'd be exceptions.

I'm glad the users in Hong Kong have better/faster access to OEM LG Accessories, hopefully, that's a glimpse of things to come for more of us.

Granted, official in-store availability of the phone itself for the North American market began just a day ago, so, perhaps, the accessories will start hitting the shelves as well.

Signed,

Hopefully optimistic/expecting more of the same, extremely limited local availability..... ;)
[LG V20 Accessories] kms108:
My be true, but LG Hong Kong gives crap promotions, v10, I think the first 200 registered people get 200gb micro, v20 only 1 year extra warranty for pre ordered units, no H3, Although we do get a cheap B&O iem in the box.

BTW HK V20 official released on the 28th, only 2 days ago as well.
[LG V20 Accessories] mlknez:
I am in the USA and did order the battery kit from a seller in Korea for $57 including shipping and it was delivered in 2 days!
[LG V20 Accessories] rocksthaman:
I can confirm this . Mine came in one day, with a 10:30 commit time . OEM kit and it works great! 56.90 and no tax . Boom

Seller was: top_trading
[LG V20 Accessories] EROMITLAB:
You'd want a wired set to take advantage of the dac no?
[LG V20 Accessories] Swizzle82:
I use an fm transmitter in my mercedes so to push the sound through and it sounds amazing. I don't use my Bt really for music. I use it for calls and directions mainly.
[LG V20 Accessories] prinzhernan:
Could you send me a private message on how to get to this website? I need that battery cradle badly. In my country the phone is packaged with an extra battery but there is no way to charge it externally.
[LG V20 Accessories] MidwestDrummer:
I purchased this one from a Korean seller on eBay. It's was priced at $52.73 with free shopping when I bought one back on 10/24, but the current price is now $69.73.
[LG V20 Accessories] prinzhernan:
Taking a look at it. Thanks!
[LG V20 Accessories] kms108:
I m sure you are able to get a third party external charger, they should be all over ebay and pretty cheap.

Search for battery cradle
[LG V20 Accessories] MidwestDrummer:
Got my battery kit today (spare battery, spare battery charger, and case). The instructions are entirely in Korean. The charger is powered by a USB Type-C cable (not included). The charger also has a door that opens to insert the battery for charging, and closes again while charging takes place.
[LG V20 Accessories] @rbiter:
G market is only selling locally for now. Hopefully soon they'll start selling internationally.
[LG V20 Accessories] MidwestDrummer:
I bought mine from a Korean seller on eBay on 10/24, and it arrived in Lincoln, NE today.
[LG V20 Accessories] dragion:
We should be getting this for "FREE" from LG...just like the previous offers from the G4 and V10.

The B&O H3 Play headphones should have been included in the box with the V20.

My thoughts...
[LG V20 Accessories] jammb:
Can this charge other items?

The G5 version of this (BCK-5100) had a USB Type A port so you could use it to charge other items ... like a battery bank.

The V20 version (BCK-5200) doesn't seem to, at least in the photos I've seen.

Can anyone confirm this? If no USB Type A port, perhaps the USB Type-C port can be used for both input and output?
[LG V20 Accessories] KOLIOSIS:
The V20 version lacks the USB Type A Port that the V10 version has.

Whether you can use adapters to plug in & charge other devices with the battery pack,IDK,I don't have those adapters on hand to try it out.
[LG V20 Accessories] kms108:
You can only charge the battery, nothing else.
[LG V20 Accessories] jammb:
Wow that sucks, I wonder why they removed such a useful function? Would be handy to charge my headphones, camera etc.
[LG V20 Accessories] kms108:
True, and the battery size would be bigger and a smaller form factor, even in hong kong the original price, the G5 one is slightly more expensive, although you do get it free when you buy the G5.

I did trade in my G5 but kept the charging pack.:p
[LG V20 Accessories] Darriousx:
Really would like LG to release this battery pack in the US. I would definitely purchase one. I'm considering getting one now but $50-60 is a pretty steep price to pay. I'd be okay with $30-40. However, I've never bought a spare battery to maybe I'm under pricing what they're selling lol
[LG V20 Accessories] @rbiter:
The pack includes the battery cradle charger, battery and battery case. I'm pretty sure batteries with be $40 MSRP but I'm sure they'll be lower on sales and maybe coupons?
[LG V20 Accessories] Darriousx:
Hmm.. I'll have to check that out. If it's really only that much then I'll definitely get it very soon. I mean, I'm going to be using this phone until the S8 launch day :)

[LG V20 Accessories] Darriousx:
It's so much money though.... :p

This one is $10 cheaper so I'd probably do this instead... https://www.amazon.com/dp/B01M5C23S...ails?_encoding=UTF8&me=&qid=1479013804&sr=8-1
[LG V20 Accessories] @rbiter:
I ordered mine for $51 from Kim store on Amazon. Should be here tomorrow.
[LG V20 Accessories] ArborRes:
Ordered mine from eBay a week ago and received it already. It works well. Charging case is good as a case.
[LG V20 Accessories] porscheoscar:
It is very expensive but you get the very useful cradle at least which is $20 value no matter what. And one OEM battery is at least $20. So you're overpaying by $10 to hold you over until An aftermarket battery pack comes out which will cost you $30 because TrendOn and Anker make you buy two batteries but they throw in the wall charger.
[LG V20 Accessories] @rbiter:
Just received mine. Looks like it was intended for Korean market. Suck it Samsung.
[LG V20 Accessories] kms108:
Just took the plunge today and got the battery kit today for about USD 30, could of just purchased this on the first day, but though I had no use for it, since I did get the V10 and G5 version, but never did come to using it. Gave the V10 one away, but kept the G5 one as I could use that as a power bank.

Kind of dissapointed with the V20 version, since the V10 and G5 version, the charger was made in korea, looks like LG went cheap and had this one made in china, good thing is the battery case for the V20 is much better quality and thicker, unlike the V10 and G5 version which is very thin and doesn't close properly.
[LG V20 Accessories] @rbiter:
You're talking about the battery cradle kit correct? Threw me off with charger. Cradle charger would've differentiated it. I'm quite sure LG at least used a decent factory for this. They probably cut costs putting more premium stuff in the v20 along with the freebie promotions.
[LG V20 Accessories] kms108:
I just went what LG has stated it, LG call it the battery charger, it's not important really if it's china or korea, i'm sure there is QC, and it's not really anything to be concern about.
[LG V20 Accessories] wtharp2:
Do you have a link to where it can be purchased for $30?
[LG V20 Accessories] aweskelo:
wheres the aftermarket for this??? They should be all over it by now...
[LG V20 Accessories] invertedskull:
I can't believe how expensive this is going for on eBay... $50 - $60 US... $99 AUD? WT actual F?
[LG V20 Accessories] G1Master:
Ordered mine on the 6th (T-Mobile Paid for it since they do not have replacement batteries for warranty purposes) and I got it yesterday.

The items itself our obviously LG legit products. Very well made.

Mine charges the battery from 15% to 100% in little over an hour. Light goes from Red to Green when done. Beautiful just beautiful. So far so good with the new battery as well.
[LG V20 Accessories] volfan22:
These might be risky but here are some cheaper options I found on AliExpress.

[LG V20 Accessories] CHH2:
Yup, I wouldn't risk frying your $800 phone with something from Aliexpress.
[LG V20 Accessories] klau1:
Wonder if it's the same manufacturer sourced for brands like Aukey or Anker
[LG V20 Accessories] volfan22:
Yeah I would see how they worked out for someone else before I would even think about it haha.
[LG V20 Accessories] Csetoue:
I had a G5 one from Ali that was identical to the genuine stock.
[LG V20 Accessories] anon389389109:
Is there any battery/charging cradle promotion this time? I feel like I need at least something because I was late on the B&O headphones
[LG V20 Accessories] CHH2:
It was down to under $42 on Amazon with Amazon fulfillment this morning so I finally jumped on it.
[LG V20 Accessories] axaman943:
I dont want to sadden you but i have horrible battery life on my v20, for instance, if i go out with a 100% battery on the way to go to work i stream music with google play using a bt headset, by the time i arrive at work, 1h45 has passed and battery is at 75%:crying::crying::crying:. when streaming and bluetooth synched, battery melts like ice cream under sunlight!
[LG V20 Accessories] porscheoscar:
But you still have 75% battery on a 3200 mAh battery.. That's a lot, more than the regular iPhone 7 has at 100%... Plenty left in the tank unless you start chewing up lots of 4G streaming of 2K/4K video. When you get to work and battery life comes down to about 50% a mere 15 minutes of charging with a Quick Charge 3.0 charging station will get you back to 80%. That should easily take you to the end of the day. Many experts have said you should top up with shallow charges in that range, plug in at 50% and unplug at 80%.

The Samsung S7 Edge may have a larger battery and less power hungry Amoled screen but that battery is not user replaceable. If you get in the habit of using wireless charging with multi coil (more heat).... every day... that once long lasting battery will need a costly replacement. With the V20 you can avoid getting to that point in the first place by simply alternating batteries, one battery one day and a second back up battery the next day. All for the princely sum of $18 or probably $10 a year from now.
[LG V20 Accessories] axaman943:
Actually tonight I left work battery at a 100% just plugged off, went back home, arrived home 2h later and I had about 54% left! Never experienced this on none of the Android phones I've pasted owned... And I replaced the BT headset by wired earbuds... It's very weird, checking battery app I could see that FB messenger and Facebook itself were responsible for about 18% battery drain but I didn't even open them to check my FB or send FB messages, I'll take a deeper look into that...
[LG V20 Accessories] CHH2:
There are several threads going on this already in better placed spots of the forum. That said, it's Facebook. If you have their apps on your device, they're working. That's how FB is and that's why I never have their apps.
[LG V20 Accessories] alexsoin:
while spare battery kit is still pricey :)

Run into this gorgeous battery pack a while ago but it was always in 75-85 bucks range, kinda no no. Couple weeks ago found it on ebay and at 55 gave it a try! I have so many gadgets and really needed powerbank as my wife stole my Anker permanently :) Really liking it so far, QC 2.0 with V20 (I kinda scared of QC 3.0 and worry I'll nuke my battery like Note 7 or something), great quality, beautiful looks with that curvy S6E sides and 100% authentic! One minor wish that pack itself was charging with USB C coz MicroUSB is so so yesterday but I'm even sure if there's any powerbanks like that available on a market currently! Job well done, sammy! See the pix below, cable is from Anker BTW, stock was white and very short microUSB.
[LG V20 Accessories] Chenj345:
Battery seems to drain faster when charged from battery kit with same usage. Anybody else have this issue?
[LG V20 Accessories] herrzeba:
Apparently this kit doesn't support quick charge 3. How long does it take to charge from 0 to 100? I can get it on ebay for 60 with shipping and I really need extra battery for this phone.
[LG V20 Accessories] rcicu:
Looks like it's on Amazon for $36.70 at the moment...
[LG V20 Accessories] Madmonk33:
I got the battery pack for £17 from EBay a month ago and it's great. My brother has the iphone 8+ and we were out one night, his battery was running done and he was stuck without a charger my battery was almost done too but it only took me a minute to have 100% back in my phone and a smug smile on my face lol
[LG V20 Accessories] TheBudgetEdge:
I purchased mine from The Wireless Circle for $30.35 with free shipping (additional discount applied automatically after adding to cart). I ordered on January 12th and received it on January 16th. There was a weekend and post holiday in between those dates, so that was pretty much two day delivery.

I decided to buy from The Wireless Circle only because I figured out that they are the ones fulfilling all of the BCK-5200 orders taken from Jet.com, Walmart.com, and newegg.com. The reviews in those places looked pretty good, especially with regards to fulfillment and authenticity.

My kit has a battery in it which was manufactured on May 13, 2017. This seems relatively fresh to me. Everything works great so far, but I haven't tested more than charging since I just opened everything up.

QUESTION: Does anyone know if this can be used as a power source? I mean, could I put in a USB-C cable and charge my phone that way? Just curious.
[LG V20 Accessories] pistacios:
Thanks for the info! Best price I've seen, just went in on one myself. I have a kit already, but it's nice to keep another charger at work.

I was wondering the same thing the other day, about being able to use it as a "power bank" of sorts. I still have a few G3 batteries and a charger for those. It would be nice to use those for spare juice in a pinch.
[LG V20 Accessories] Snakecharmed:
I just got in for one from TWC too. The battery kit made my G4, so this was also a must buy for the V20. Even though I didn't swap the batteries often on the G4, being able to go from 0-100 was huge when I did.

Swapping batteries is a necessity on cross-country domestic US flights since many of those narrow-body planes are not fitted with charging provisions. Actually being able to do so in front of iPhone and/or Samsung GS6+ users makes it even better.
[LG V20 Accessories] turbotron555:
How much time does it take to charge the battery? Mine almost takes 3 hours!!??:crying:
[LG V20 Accessories] kingtm:
Around 2-2:30 hours to me.
[LG V20 Accessories] turbotron555:
Thanks for the reply! I guess its normal then.. I thought i received a defecetive one..:)
[LG V20 Accessories] xdav20:
Has anyone experienced where a fully charged battery (green light on) turned out to be completely depleted on its own while kept in the kit and unplugged? I've been experiencing this too many times now.

Is there an order to use this kit? Something like: plug it, wait, then insert the battery or put the battery in and then plug it to the power?
[LG V20 Accessories] pistacios:
I don't think it matters when charging, I've done it both ways.

But I definitely remove the battery from the charger after it's charged. I noticed the light stays on when unplugged and battery in, so I remove the battery promptly.

I guess now I know what happens when the battery is left in unplugged...
[LG V20 Accessories] xdav20:
I have several of these battery chargers. Sometimes, I forget which one is charged and which one isn't. So, I plug back the USB cable in the charger, if I see the green light then I know the battery is charged but then when I use the very same battery in the phone it is completely depleted (2%-3%). This happened to two chargers earlier today.

Reinserting the USB cable to the kit could be the cause. I need to look into it. I'll report back once I found the cause.
[LG V20 Accessories] herrzeba:
Yeah, it takes long time. I have 2 extra batteries.
[LG V20 Accessories] Snakecharmed:
I have this kit with the G4 and I always left the battery in the charger case after it was done charging. I never had any battery drain issues, even after leaving a full battery inside the case unplugged for weeks. The charger was advertised to also serve as a battery case.

I've yet to use my kit for the V20 because I changed my charging behavior and don't let the battery run all the way down before charging like I used to with the G4.
[LG V20 Accessories] xdav20:
Reporting back... Since I haven't left the batteries inside the cradle after being charged, I have not experienced another sudden depletion yet. I have tried to replicate the problem but I couldn't. So I cannot with certainty say what went wrong.

[MENTION=4278683]Snakecharmed[/MENTION]

Thank you. There is a battery case comes with the kit, that what the advert meant to say.
