So some time ago I ordered from Amazon, one of these Ecell Gold 2430MaH batteries. Yes I have read the comments about those sourced from ebay, but for a few pounds I was willing to try from Amazon, given their splendid customer service and returns policy.
http://www.amazon.co.uk/gp/product/B005O8SA2S
This is the item I bought, and after wiping the battery stats and a few charges later, this thing is simply amazing.
My phone has been unplugged since 8:00 am this morning. So far I have:
Installed a new Kernel,
Used titanium to move 200 apps to SD, and am now performing a backup of all apps & system data (383 elements)
At 13:50 the battery is still at 95%. This battery sees me through to the end of the day, and when things are quiet (over the weekend etc) will last more than 80 hours.
Now although I understand the bad stories about this item from eBay, and I doubt whether it is truly anywhere near 2430 MaH - I have to say I am mightily impressed. It far outperforms my stock battery and the XE equivalent.

If you Peel the sticker off you will see a model number and 1730 stamped on the metal. If you look those numbers up you will find people are reporting 1730 as the capacity. There are several companies using that same battery with different stickers (and different capacity claims)

I wonder if there is a cheap replacement battery at ebay that has a working temperature sensor? I do not want to spend a fortune on this but working sensor is crucial for me. (The last one I ordered always showed 25°C.)
Can anybody who already has ordered advise on which to buy (actual links or product names would be great)?
Thank you.
Yeah, same problem here.. I have the '1600 mAh' one and it doesn't have the sensor..

It shows 1600mA, but that's not true. Apart from the lie, the battery is pretty good, stable, and gives working voltage and temperature. I dont have the balls to use it as my main battery, because I am very worried about possible leaks, and it lasts less then the original one, but its grate to have in case of charging impossibility. I always carry it fully charged.

Are you sure this has a working sensor? I bought the very same off ebay (at least it looks identical) and the temp is constant 25 degrees Celsius, no matter what I do. Checked with battery monitor widget and SetCPU, same results, no working sensor.
Can you please double check it for me and if a working sensor is confirmed can you also post / pm me a link to the ebay seller or the item number? Thank you.
...bump...
yeah, mine looks the same but no temp reading, says 25 degrees all the time :l
Why are you all trying to get a cheap $5-20 battery for a $700 dollar phone (now less, I know)?
Just not a good idea whatsoever.

Maybe problem is in phone or hardware. My phone's vibration don't work, and i have tried diffrent roms.
I don't think the problem is with the phone. The batteries are just crap. I work at a service center and by far the best-selling batteries are Samsung ones. Lots of people coming in with bad batteries on Samsung phones.
We have noticed a trend, i can confirm this with my own devices and also confirmed with friends that own Samsung phones - batteries that say "Cell made in Japan" or "Cell made in Vietnam" hold up good, while those that say "Cell made in China" bloat quickly and die.
Try to buy from a different store and of course, avoid "Made in China" ones ! I don't think it's the phone..
While seraching for a powerbank I found these on ebay and got myself a shock. My first reaction was WTF! Didnt knew that its even possible!

Must be the best vacation company for charging devices. Wont need a wallet outlet for months!!! Well, if the capacity is really that much and quality.
I don't even know what I'd use that for. The phone has a 2550 mah battery. You could fully recharge it around 115 times with the 300,000.
let us know if it really is that much, for that small of a size, i don't believe it a bit. my old anker is 10000 mah and about that size
i don't believe it has 200000mah.
But amazon has some nice products. I had it,I was using this external battery for charging my iPhone 5s , Samsung galaxy tab 3, Samsung s4 during my 24 hour flight. Charged iPhone 2 times, s4 once and sgt3 3 times. it has many 5 star reviews: http://www.amazon.com/dp/B00RJQB4IU/

If that thing exploded it will kill you !
Has anyone bought a portable battery for charging? Ideally something that supports Quick Charging.
The smallest one I've found is this one:
http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00XDNBJCO
5200Mah. 3.9x0.8x1.9 inches 4.7oz
I bought a choetech, 10400mah qc 2.0 compatible both out and in so it charges itself fast with my qc 2.0 charger too

Yea i use my xiaomi powerbank 10400mah that i bought from gearbest for like 15 bucks but things like that are always handy for gadgets so i would get 1 fast
I bought an Orico Q1 . It Costs me about 98CNY(about 14 US dollars).But i guess the efficiency isn`t very high.
I bought the Anker PowerCore Speed 10000 QC, which is 10,000 mAH and QuickCharge 3.0:
https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B01JIYWUBA
It's the best capacity to size ratio I could find with QuickCharge, and plenty of juice to charge a few times, or multiple devices before needing to recharge it. Luckily the Z5c has such great battery life I very rarely come close to needing it, but good for traveling and piece of mind.
Hey,
I use this one for my z5c :
https://www.amazon.com/dp/B01B645YYK/
20000mha, quick charge 2.0 (I don't think the z5c support QC 3.0) , and airPower (love this feature of AUKEY)
Maybe a little big, it depend of what you want, but it work perfectly.
Has anyone been able to find this official samsung battery pack!??!?! I need this beautiful thing OMG

Yea my bad... Im not sure why I had so much trouble.. I was searching for "note 7 battery pack" on amazon.. finally found it by searching "samsung battery pack"
You can get a 10k mah Anker battery pack for about the same price with fast charge.
I personally have 2 Anker 10k mah packs and one thats 26k
I've just ordered the Samsung backpack from ballicom.co.uk £44 as its an all in one / wireless charging case. Don't like the idea of carrying cables and the damage connectors can do in pockets and bags. I had a zerolemon case battery for my note 5 which worked well.

How much time it take to complete charge?

I have never really timed it. The 10k take a few hours from empty. It does fast charge the pack as well as long as you plug it into a fast charge port.
Now i have never empty the 26k one but that takes a while... I normally leave them over night to charge.
