Anyone recommend a good desktop charger that can charge the battery out side of the phone? I'd like to get a spare battery and charge both over night so I've always got power. Had one of these for a nokia which was really useful.

Duracell rechargeable battery question???
Instant USB charger.
5 Volt/1150mAh rechargeable Lithium-Ion battery.
0.6 AMP
Will this work for our phones???
They went on clearance on Black Friday and they still have a few left at my local store for $5.00 from the normal $19.99.
Thanks in advanced.
Works just fine, I've been using the same one for about a year now (on my mt4g and now g2x)
Is 1150mAh worth it to lug around? Probably better just to carry an extra battery around or get the extended batteries.

I have one of those extended batteries.
I need it as a emergency backup. The other day I was gone for 2 days with out a charger. I had the extended battery and forgot my charger and stock battery was with me but dead.

I have three of those extended batteries. I think I can go a week with them if I didn't have a charger handy and using the phone conservatively.

i don't see no reason it wouldn't work i read about it
It works great on a Samsung Galaxy S 4G to bad it only charges from completely dead to 75% to 80. Not bad for emergency.

Before I got this charge I ran nothing but HTC phones on tmobile. while being plugged into car charger and using gps the battery level goes down fast. It doesn't maintain the charge or add to it while navigating. Is this a samsung thing? Any remedies?

That cannot be right. Make sure your car charger, when it charges your phone, is pulling AC instead of USB.
GPS uses very little juice. Just get the 950ma Motorola charger from Amazon for 5 bucks. Something is messed up if your phone doesn't charge

Mine doesn't discharge, but it doesn't charge hardly at all. I'm using the Verizon dual port charger (the one that has a USB port on it as well as the standard charging end)

I use a Monoprice 2A USB charger with an OEM USB cable. Charges extremely slowly or just stays level, but never drains.

With GPS on, you barely Charge with that charger? I know its limited by the kernel at 800mA or so, but damn, that should charge you up fine.
I rock GPS in the car all the time and I still Charge pretty quickly...

All depends on what you're running at that time-4G, cell and GPS reception, etc.

Make sure you are using a high amp charger. I like the one from Motorola.
Even so, with 4g and the screen on - the phone charges slowly. Turn the screen off and it charges much quicker.

First off I would like to give a big thanks to James for allowing me to be a beta tester for his batteries, and accessories. Received this stock replacement with Nfc, about 5-6 days ago and have been using it since,.. great battery! And if your looking for something to replace your factory battery or just a spare, you can't beat it,..especially for what they sell for! I consider myself a pretty heavy phone user, of course don't go crazy and put the brightness all the way up or anything, but texting, phone calls, YouTube, Netflix, web browsing, I do a very good bit of it. I'll get right down to it and post my battery screen shots with the Onite,.. More reviews coming soon including an Onite extended with Nfc. Thanks again James,..this is a great battery guys! Btw phone is unrooted, completely stock

the same experience
I have also got a Onite battery.It is indeed as you described.very good quality! I am so lucky to get what I need.much appreciated.
got one to test as well
i would totally agree with the OP on this. i recieved one too for my s4 and must say if not more i am getting the same amount of time from this battery that i would get from the stock battery. would recommend anyone in the market who carries spare batteries like me.
Awesome. Have 2 coming in tomorrow. We're talking 2600s, right?

So I just got my NFC version batteries today. Upon close inspection is looks like the battery has the NFC charging coils built in. Has anyone tried putting this battery in and laying it on a charging back?

I may be confusing wireless charging with NFC.
NFC? Really?

Oh,I use NFC with S3 usually.
But I don't think it is related with the wireless charging.
Maybe you need a Wireless Charger Receiver Pad if you lay it on a charging back.
Hope is helps. Please Clike me.
NFC is not wireless charger pad

The upstair is right.
You can get the wireless charger pad on ebay or amazon.
NFC is not wireless charger pad.
OP, do you need a separate charger for the nfc onite battery or can I charge it while its in my phone? I've had past experiences with aftermarket batteries only being able to be charged with that company's charger and was disappointed when that battery was drained.

Yep charges exactly like the stock battery ..they are making there separate charger (the one that you can just charge the battery itself) better for faster charging,..the older ones take longer to charge,.. comes in handy when you have another way to charge your extra battery

How long does it take to full charge?
I wish a quick charger no more than 5 hours.
2600mAh/5h=520mA at least.

The one they are making now,..should be just about finished, it's 600ma so it will be significantly better than the other one, I'll make a post as soon as I have one in hand. I should be receiving one soon, not sure what the older charger takes for a full charge I think it's 6.5 hours or longer,..which is why they've been working hard to get this new 600ma charger out.

STOKED!!!
Excited to get my 2x Onite batteries w/NFC today...Tracking them through Amazon and my local post office has it out for delivery!!!Also for the charger is it just a plug in battery charger or is it a dock/battery charger. I saw the dual dock/battery chargers on amazon but no reviews...
I need a spare battery solution. Samsungs own option is great but not for 50 bucks. I found this. Is there any reason I shouldn't buy it?

All I got to say is that i did get those kind of batteries from ebay, and they are definitely not the mAh they say they are. I bought them for the GS3 but they died way faster than the stock Samsung battery. My advise is pay up the price for some thing better, or know that these batteries will last a lot less than stock. I am actually looking for the ones from amazon. There is a review of 6 batteries in one of the threads that says there is a battery that last a bit longer than stock. That's what I'm buying.

I agree, I wouldn't trust to use any batteries with no brand and claim to have higher mAh capacity
So what are the specs of the ZeroLemon charger? I have one from ebay that says the output is plus or minus 350 mAh. It takes about 7 hours to charge a GS3 battery.

Here is a screenshot of one that essentially has the same specs. I've seen a couple floating around ebay that say 600 plus or minus 50mAh. I wish some one would create one that charged at the same rate of the phone.

I got the Samsung charging unit for my S4 from Amazon for $30 bucks and use either the charger cable it comes with or the 2amp charger that came with my phone. Worth every penny and goes from dead battery to fully charged in about and hour or slightly more. I have used them from my S1, S2, S3 and now S4 so I guess they just work perfectly for me

I see the link and according to reviews this could be a fake. But anyways, at what rate does it charge? How long does it take to fully charge the battery from 0 to 100? Are u using the stock 2Amp charger that comes with the S4 and does it make a difference in charging time?

Also this is the same thing right? It will charge at max power?

register your phone on samsung.com people.. you get sent a coupon for 50 percent off..use it to buy stock batteries as many as you want and maybe a charger battery combo.. stock batteries last way better than after market even those that say higher mah.. plus nfc works..

If you get a fake I would expect to get a refund from amazon. It took 4 hours this morning to go from red light to Green (could have been less I was out running errands and came back to it green). Don't know what amp it uses, it has an ac adaptor it comes with.

Even four hours is not bad for going from 0% to 100%. I know with the stock charger the phone charges the battery in about two hours, with no usage.

Is it an external battery charger which charges a spare battery by itself, or are you talking abt having the battery in your phone and charging it?

External Samsung battery charger that charges a spare battery. I swap out batteries as needed and keep a spare with me wherever I go.
