Battery for S4 - Galaxy S 4 Accessories

Has anyone been able to find the battery for sale that is in stock? EB-K600BUW is the part number but nobody seems to have it available including Samsung.

No

So far the Anker aftermarket battery has been working very well as my 2nd battery.

samsung.com has it for $40, $50 for the kit, it is currently on backorder, i'm thinking they should have it in a week or two, just keep checking. also, don't forget to register your phone with them, you'll get an email for 50% off cellphone accessories priced no higher than $50, max 5 items.

I threw the dice, and ordered off of ebay. Should have 2 batteries and a charger in 3 weeks....

Isn't the S3 battery 2100mAh stock? The S4 comes with a beefier 2600mAh battery. Cool that the batteries will work in a pinch though.

Yeah. And It has a little space on the right side of the battery but it fits snug and the phone turns on

I ordered two of these batteries and they just came in today. The battery and the cover don't make the phone that much thicker.

I agree on the Anker Batteries. Had two of those for my EVO 3D after buying all sorts of different batteries. They are the only ones that lasted for me.

Testing out one of the extended batteries. Starting at 90% power. I'll report back after several hours with usage statistics.

3 x 3000mAh battery + US Wall USB Charger For Samsung Galaxy S4 4 IV I9500
Works good, no NFC (as with most cheap extra batteries).. Battery Monitor Pro registers 3100mAh :good::good::good:
a bit for a tight fit as you'd expect from an extended battery that fits with the stock backplate (which bulges very slightly)
So far so good though

Those are the ones I bought XD hoping they work fine!

Just bought the Anker battery, arriving Tuesday. Will be interested to see how it fairs considering I bought it brand new for only £10, with the official Samsung battery costing £35. As long as it fairs up relatively well, I'm not fussed about not having the NFC capability.

Used same branded batteries as spares for my Galaxy Nexus and they perform fine. You probably won't get the same as from the official battery but these are well worth it for those who need some extra juice and don't care about losing NFC.

http://www.htcexpress.com/samsung-b...attery-free-wall-dock-charger-w-usb-port.html
For
SAMSUNG
Epic 4G (SPRINT)
I am very happy with the battery life. Getting about 7hrs plus on light surfing, with just data 3g on constant, and bluetooth use only on when needed. Sorry I dont have one of those phone screen for proof but rest assured it the best slim fit battery out there that I am aware. After purchasing the mAh 1800 generic, the mAh 1950 QCell and finally Samsung 2000 mAh which is the best quality being that its not generic or fake just pure brand, and I noticed the difference in performance. Using right now Clean GB 1.1.2 on BML and I mainly use phone for talk with opening 1 or 2 pages of web and some on & off bluettoth, no 4g, no wifi, vibrate or silence, screen off in 2min, no live wallpapers = solid 7hrs for me. Results may vary depending on your apps but I stop using memory apps just a fresh install of CleanGB.
Fit on Epic 4g Sprint sph-d700 phone is tight but good. Plus I use Seidio ACTIVE Case for Use with Samsung Epic 4G - Black so it snugs real nice the back cover with battery.
http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0..._m=ATVPDKIKX0DER&pf_rd_r=1Y2D6V06D7ZPGDM5F4SF
Anyway www.htcexpress.com delivered quick USPS and even found a coupon to get 10% off so I purchased 2 orders for $62.00 for 4 batteries and 2 charger, one for my girl. I'm good to go when traveling I have my Samsung 2000 mAh in phone and one spare in jean pocket enough to cover me for when I charge at home.
P.S. i used this code OFF10 in the shopping cart under Vouchers and guess what its cheaper by 10% until supplies last or offer ends.
As always Thank You XDA for all of your wonderful forums on ROMs and Themes, hope you can enjoy this Epic battery Review...

You must be unlucky, my Hero's charger like that from years ago still works even though you have to manually put the prongs into the outlet lol.

Honestly, I don't see why anyone would get this. Unless you need a charger you could get two official 1800mah batteries for just a few dollars more (assuming that is legit ).

Somehow I doubt that.. I got some "1800mah" 3rd party batteries about a year ago and while they worked great at first, they slowly deteriorated and now they won't even last an hour, while my stock 1500mah still lasts at least 15h with light use and is about 1.5 years old.
Stock Battery average at best...
Yeah on stock I would get like 4-5hrs at best now I can last solid 7hrs so to answer your questions the more mAh the more power you can store in it. The trick I have found is not to let go to 0 more like 10 or 20 % before a full charge.
As for the extra charger its neat to take it on the go but I use my cradle charger for home recharging.
I think the 1800mAh Samsung battery is overrated just like the expensive Seido Extended Battery. The 1500mAh and this one both are made in china except this one might be third party because it does have www.chichitec.com printed in the back cover but in the end its just a battery with 200mAh more than Samsung. I might just have to buy this OEM Samsung 1800mAh battery that everyone praises just to see the difference.
Anyway this is just for those who want to have a little bit extra without the bulge of a extended battery cover. I am happy with it and just wanted to share and try it out has suggested in my other thread by a fellow member.

The whole idea of the 1800mAh OEM battery is that it fits with the original back cover not making it to bulky, the battery is actually capable of lasting all day with medium-usage. At least compared to my year old 1500mAh one

Battery Monitor Widget is a good one. You need the widget on your home screen for it to monitor.

Anyway can go a good 9hr+ even better than previous stated. One note when charging on USB I get 100%, after unplug I only see 94% (1880 mAh) don't know if this is because I charge in phone or I should use their wall charger to get the full 100% from point of turning on phone.
Now I hear theres a 2300mAh but reviews sound skeptic. Will have to do some more research, but I think I have bridged the gap with extended and slim using this battery.

experience of using Onite Battery for my Samsung Galaxy S4 I9500

Last month I bought a new brand Onite battery for my Samsung Galaxy S4 I9500.I must say this has been a good battery. I have used it for about a month now; I am on the phone all day, usually over 4 hours of screen time, and the battery is rarely below 70% in the end. It is not like my stock battery only last less a day.
wow, It seems good.

I got the Onite S4 battery today and just started charging my battery. It's been on for about six hours and still shows charging.
I'm concerned if they have a higher amp charger for the s4 battery .Then I contacted the customer service and they explain that the low current will not hurt the battery life.
Moreover, they also introduce a new charger which is 600mAh, I have bought a new charger, will update it later.

Hey there, no bulge for me, and I'm using the 2600mAh ones. I too was concerned about whether or not there would be a bulge because of reviews I read about the Anker ones being a tad bit thicker than the OEMs, so that's why I went with the Onite ones, and from my experience you don't have to worry about bulging with these. They last pretty long too. I charged mine, then let them drain so that I could charge them again, and it took almost 17 hours after just one charge, and that's with heavy use all day.
yeah, the 2600mah Onite battery is a good chioce. one friend suggests it to me and I bought one .

Yeah okay mate. As if a battery which claims to have the same rating as stock (which I doubt) can last a day longer. I was considering buying a couple to test and discredit you but I don't really think I need to now. That utterly ridiculous statement has made you look untrustworthy enough I'd say, and I don't want to give you a single cent.
You have a post count of 5 and it's petty obvious you are a spam account set up to promote your batteries. There are also several other posters in this thread with low post counts who, coincidently, only post in battery threads to either recommend onite batteries or discredit other brands. In fact there are more suspect posters than legit ones in this craptastic thread.
If the product were any good you wouldn't have to resort to such underhanded marketing techniques as creating multiple accounts just to spam and mislead people.
Please folks, BEWARE!

Guys stay away from onite. This Sophia Chan is a salesman of Onite just look at her profile. Onites battery is actually a stock battery people take stickers off of the so called extended battery and did further looking and foumd it was 3100 mah for our note 2 and so on.

3 Onite battery review

So I got around test 3 batteries I got from Onite. I spent the past 3 weeks using the batteries.
Onite 2600mah (44.4 grams), Onite 2600mah with NFC (46.4 grams) , Onite 5200mah (82 grams)
Overall, both 2600mah batteries last as long as the Original Samsung battery. I think these batteries are worth their price.
The 5200mah battery run time I observed is at least double the standard battery.
NFC works like it should with the Onite version.
Do these batteries create any bulge? Are they the same size as the original one? If yes, then i'm ready to ditch Anker.

Actually since you asked, I'll pull my gauge and measure them for you. I don't really notice it, but it could be different depending on everyone's perspective.
Since you have both NFC and non-NFC - how do you tell them apart? I see nothing different between the two.

Thanks for the review. I am going to get the nfc capable one.
Onite did a good job
It works well indeed.
Both 2600mah and 5200mah.
I heard of that they will release 7800mah witn NFC.
Have you got it?
I was told that the 7800mah is going to be released in 1 week. If I manage to get it. I'll update this post.
they cancelled it
I was told that they cancelled the plan to release 7800mAh due to some problem.
Too high capacity is not safe for the cellphone.
5200mAh is enough for S4 to keep on 2 days.
I have been running the 5200 for a month awesome battery.

Safety of replacement batteries

I'm looking for a replacement battery for my S4. Since it's replacement it doesn't have to be as good. What scares me though is that those cheap ebay/dealextreme batteries might hurt my phone somehow (those golden batteries etc). Is this possible, or is it safe to use those 'fake' batteries?
Also I would love if you guys could recommend a decent replacement battery for a good price (even better with a wall battery charger).

After some research I came to a conclusion I want that one too. Can you check if it's just the same size as the original battery? As I've seen some Anker batteries which were good but slightly too large.

the one i tested was non nfc, these are nfc enabled but i doubt that would make them that much bigger to bulge, but ill let you know as soon as this UPS man arrives at my office, gotta love amazon prime! :laugh:
I bought the Anker batteries. Get 2 batteries and a wall charger. The wall charger also has a USB port which can output 1A, which it pretty good to carry around if needed. I've read reviews how when these first came out it was a really tight fit, but it seems that they made adjustments because the ones I received fit in just fine, like the OEM ones.
Being that I dont have 10 post I can't post urls this is

Title-3X Battery for Samsung Galaxy SIV S4 GT-i9500 with External Charger 3250 mAh
worth it
I almost always buy the cheapo chinese batteries for my phones. Here are my findings:
They will last throughout the day about as long as genuine batteries... for the 1st year
After the 1st year, they will start to degrade.... depending on your use, lack of use, temperature, etc... I have some 2.5 year old chinese epic 4g batteries that still work.. but only last about 4 hours. My original battery will still go a good 12hrs. I only keep them around for emergencies, but I don't really use that phone anymore.
The cheapo chargers that come w/ it is very handy and usually work pretty well.
Depending on how much you use them, they will last you a couple years.
Why i think they are worth it:
For ten bucks, they are a great backup battery. By that I mean, when get home from work and my battery is almost dead.... I can swap out the battery for the rest of the evening and don't have to put my phone on the charger till bed.
I'm a normal smart phone user, a normal batter will last me the day most days. I don't game or do too many intensive things..
I get them because I know that I will get a new phone every 1.5 to 2 years... so why do my batteries need to outlast the phone?
Who shouldn't use them:
People who really drain their batteries. They simply won't go as many recharge cycles as a normal battery (by that I mean full empty to full charge).
Tips:
Mark your crappy batteries with a permanent marker. The chinese clones look so good that you probably can't tell the difference between them and a real on. Mark the fake ones so that you can use your real on days when you know you really need lasting power. This isn't so important the first 9 months... but after that it could be.
Watch for reviews on a good battery seller (if buying from ebay)... there are good cheap-o batteries and their are crappy ones. I like to let other people figure it out

The Anker Giant - 7600mAh S4 battery pack

When Samsung released big-screen Galaxy Note seriers smart phones and get the market, we have 5.8 / 6.3 inch GALAXY Mega, 5.9 inch HTC One Max, 6.4-inch SONY Xperia Z Ultra, the coming 6.0 inch Nokia Lumia 1520 ... ... Do we really need big like tab smart phone ?
Not only for the phone itself, we have more and more third party factories offered huge capacity replacement batteries, The Galaxy S3 has 2100mAh original battery, after that, we found 4200mAh, 7000mAh replacement batteries in market. The Galaxy S4 has 2600mAh original battery but we saw 7500mAh which so called world's largest S4 battery in the world.
Well well well ... that's not the end, I just noticed Anker released 7600mAh S4 replacement on Amazon and the nice price is only $32 free shipping.
This beast comes with two different back covers -- black and white. The huge innovative is they provided a 2600mAh internal battery plus a 5000mAh extended battery in the back cover. You need to use the internal battery and battery case together in order to prolong the battery's lifespan. What are you expecting for this one?

Anker has really good products but for me, I think I'll pass. Large capacity but no NFC. Also, great if you run your phone naked. I bet it will be a pain to get a protective case around that thing. I'd rather pay $7 more and get the ZeroLemon Extended Battery.

Nfc might work tho because the oem battery is still in there

No. Near Field Communication means what it means, it needs to be near. With the thick extended battery covering the OEM battery.. It wont work.

that is correct. you can not get the factory battery work with extended battery. I haven't really used NFC once but I fear I might in the future, so for me it is not that important.

I've read that the Seidio Active Extended Battery Case works well with the Hyperion battery and just well enough with the Anker 5200.
Also: Is the Anker really larger than the Zerolemon Extended 7500mAh? Why wouldn't it fit into the Zerolemon case made for that battery?

(I'd hate to sell Anker products in the UK, given the obvious rhyme!)
Hyperion has one out too with nfc and a 24 month gurantee

look forward to see it
The shipping took longer than I thought, so I just received it this Saturday. :silly:
There was a definite gain in thickness and weight once I installed the battery, but it's not that bothersome. I'd compare it to Zerolemon's 7500mAh extended battery. (I'll post some pics soon.)
I've only gone through one complete cycle (fully charge and discharge) since most of the time I forget to drain it all the way. Anker's instructions recommend to go through about 4-6 cycles of charging and discharging the battery before seeing actual results. (I asked via email.) Once I've gone through those cycles, I'll report back. The battery is doing moderately well so far. I'm at 26% after a day and nine hours, with 3 hrs of screen on time, about 30 minutes of GPS navigation, sync on, push notifications of email and social networking, all smart features on, LTE on, and 75% brightness. :good:
hey guys just wanted to see what kind of battery life you guys are getting out of this battery? i have this already on my s4 but my battery life varies, i am running gummy rom 4.4 using ktoonz 11/16 kernel, im seeing only about anywhere from 8-11 hours of use on a moderate to very moderate use, but i did read somewhere that they recommend you fully charge then use all the way dead on battery like 5-6 times can someone re-iterate me and correct me if im wrong? my frist initial full charge use was awesome...as i got 34 hours out of my battery with about 17% left, but that was light to moderate use.
I'm on my 2nd 7600.. returned the first one because it wouldnt hold a charge very long.
so far im on my 3rd cycle with the 7600.. and it's hit or miss about lasting longer.. because i dont see a way to force the 2nd battery to charge...

I have the zerolemon battery. I forgot the exact mah, but it last me the day with how much I use my phone, full brightness and such.
ok guys update, i've let my phone go through the full charge and completely dead cycles 3 times now, i am now on my 4th charge, but this time it charges up more slowly, i charged it for about 3 hours and it was up to 79% its now been 19 hours and 18min and im down to 50% on battery i think its pretty good so far now, alot better when i was just randomly charging it.
posting another update, battery went completely dead from 79% charge at 1 day 11 hours. moderate useage..... Great battery life!
