edit: can anyone confirm that this is what the original battery looks like or not? probably still not the original being from china lol
I would really like to know if this http://www.amazon.com/EZOPower-Desktop-Standard-GT-I9500-T-Mobile/dp/B00CGVEMPA/ref=wl_it_dp_o_pC_nS_nC?ie=UTF8&colid=104T09TVBE5XW&coliid=I1T55ADDZJSQ31 can be trusted. Its a bit on the pricey side but I like that it comes with a dock to charge the phone plus two batteries.

wait that one out until there are reviews.
99% chance it's a fake samsung battery. you'd be lucky to find a original battery under $20.
Fake - it doesn't have the NFC capability.
This seems like the best deal to me:
http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00B26ZSL2/ref=oh_details_o03_s00_i00?ie=UTF8&psc=1
2 batteries + charger for $15. Onite even has a bunch of great reviews for their Galaxy S3 battery bundle so I went with this one.
Most definitely fake. I bought some that even said NFC on it & needless to say, it didn't work. Also, all the serial/model number info rubbed right off.
Now, as batteries with NO NFC, they did work. Probably 80% capacity of stock (on my Galaxy Nexus).
So ive been using my note 4 for a while and its been serving me well, however playing clash of clans ive had to charge it twice a day and the original battery doesnt hold that very well as it used to,
And with the newly announced Note 5 being meh, i don't think im gonna switch phones anytime soon. however id like to change the battery on this one.
im wondering if anybody could recommend any genuine source of OEM batteries for cheap, doesnt matter if they are pulled outta new phones or the likes , as long as they are genuine ( and probably cheap) looking to buy a couple.
There are many on ebay but most have mixed reviews so could not conclude, oh and i do not want an extended battery, fast charging has made life quite easy for me so it isnt on the charger all day.
I've been using anker batteries from Amazon and they perform as well as OEM. It comes with battery chargers too, so I always have 2 fully charged extra when needed.

Thanks for your suggestion, looking for the oem batteries only . any reliable source ?
have you registered your note 4? I got a 50% off coupon for accessories under $50 and just bought a replacement straight from samsung
Battery and dock
Oem battery and charging dock from samsung 49.99 at best by
I totally understand not wanting a 3rd party one. Even the good ones aren't extremely accurate. Amazon has one I bought last year (oem and not counterfeit) for $20. Works great. I'd recommend buying it directly from the first source and not 3rd party for cheaper. That's when some folks occasionally run into trouble.

Also, your cell carrier can provide replacements if you have a extended warranty/insurance for no charge. I just got one from T-mobile because mine finally failed. I rough on batteries. I only had to pay for shipping. If all else fails or your uncomfortable with that and have the extra... Grab the charger plus battery deal from Samsung directly. You get a new battery and have an extra (old one) for a backup with no pain of leaving phone on charger. Very handy! Good luck!

This... As well. I got the Samsung protective case with mine. I have 4 other cases and this one is by far the best. Very thin and it even looks like there is no case to most users. Has a decent lip to protect the screen somewhat and bumpers on the corners. Highly recommended
I've just bought a used N910F and wanted to get myself some spare batteries and an external charger. I've just moved up from a Note 3 and previously, an S3 LTE and had multiple batteries for both, with external chargers and I'd like to get the same for the Note 4.
I'm based in the UK and so I'm somewhat limited to what products I can get hold of. I'd like to get one of the Samsung external charger but I was wondering - as these are just running from the mains charger that you're using to charge the phone, is there any issue buying one of the non-Sammy, generic ones? I'd assume that the charger takes care of any overcharging issues - is that correct? If anyone has a link to any cheap genuine Samsung units, I'd be very pleased to have a look. I found one for £30 at Amazon, but it's a 1-3 month wait!
As for spare batteries, I've always gone for the Anker batteries and found them pretty good, and it's looking as though that's the only option for me at the mo - Amazon have them for £14 shipped where as the Powercell units are over £18. Any genuine ones for around £20? I'm not about to waste my money on the ebay cheapies!
Thanks for your time guys! :fingers-crossed:
Amazon buy anker,mpj,etc
I just recently purchased a standard Samsung battery from Amazon - http://www.amazon.co.uk/dp/B00VIK5DOY
Although there are cheaper options, I made sure that I selected the one that was sold by Amazon themselves on the basis that they are very unlikely to sell fakes - the one I got for £10.63 with next day delivery on Prime certainly seems genuine to me.

Thanks for getting back to me with an actual product. How is the battery holding up? I'm really happy with the Anker one I bought - I'm getting about 1.5 days of moderate use and 5+ hours of SOT between charges. I don't use NFC at the mo so I don't know if this supports it, but as things stand I'd be happy to get another one or two. Does anyone know how to tell if theses "genuine Samsung" batteries are indeed, genuine? I remember reading up on it when I had the Note 3 and it was really tricky visually.
What about these external chargers - anyone had any experience of the non-Samsung ones?

The battery works fine for me, and is a definite improvement on the tired genuine battery it replaced.
Well, I've bought, what's labelled as a "genuine samsung extra battery kit". It's currently charging the enclosed battery in the external cradle. I'll try it in the phone to check if the NFC works to be sure that the battery is a genuine Sammy one, but any ideas on how to check the charging cradle?
Just bought a replacement battery direct from the Samsung UK site - £25 but worth it for the peace of mind. Free delivery.
EDIT: Ordered at 5:00pm, it's now the next morning and my battery has arrived - great speed for free delivery! (Now, if only Samsung could get their firmware updates out as fast!)
EDIT: Genuine Samsung packaging (with the window on the front of the box, and a plastic container for the battery) and manufacture date of last month, so fresh off the assembly line
I've just charged up the battery that came in the "kit". Appearance wise it looks identical (but dont most of them?!) but I just tried it with NFC and that worked - I thought the fakes didn't have the NFC chip - or have some of them started adding it or have I just got a genuine one for a really good price?!

Where did you buy it from?
Guys, my note 4 is almost 2years now, my battery is getting old, and may be it's time to buy a new one, because i intend to go on with this wonderful Note 4.
So, which new battery should i look for? OEM? Some special brand? My goal is to avoid those fake pseudo Samsung batteries, and pay what it costs for a really good one.
What's your opinion?

EDIT. What about Anker or Zerolemon? Are these better than Oem?
I recently bought a battery for my note 4 as well. To avoid any issues I went to the samsung service center and ordered it from there. I suggest that you check the official online store of Samsung.
I bought the Anker 2-pack with travel charger from amazon. They're holding up pretty well. I've bought Anker for my other phones as well and have never had any issues with their product.

Is this an internal Samsung-size battery or a powerbank? And how many mAh?

They're talking about a 2-pack of internal after market (non-Samsung) batteries. Anker is a good brand, as far as I've seen.
Here,take those ones.My opinion is that this are the best ones.Not cheap but long live,good for using.https://www.amazon.de/original-JuBaTec-Akku-Samsung-SM-N910F-EBBN910BB/dp/B00UMMHG76
If you don't mind your phone being a brick, try using Zerolemon or Hyperion? If you use Zerolemon you might need a kernel fix though!

I killed my Note 4 battery by using a cheap eBay Qi receiver. Charging made it very hot, and the battery swelled and died.
I bought two replacements, both supposedly Samsung OEM batteries. I got one from Sprint, and another from Amazon. They look identical, but the one from Amazon is almost certainly a cheap clone. It doesn't hold a charge as well as the one I got from Sprint, which is probably the true OEM.
By the way, I switched to the Samsung OEM Qi wireless charging cover, and now it charges fine with no heating up. If you want to go wireless charging, I strongly recommend avoiding the cheap crap.
I've been buying Anker batteries for my S3, Note 3 and now Note 4 and I recommend them. Solid and reliable and if you have any issues, Anker are great to deal with.
ANKER for sure. Equal or better than OEM quality, and you really don't want to mess with low quality batteries. Be careful of supposed OEM batteries on ebay or Amazon, many are counterfeit.
This is the first time I've been disappointed by Anker. Bought a 2pk a while ago. They barely fit in the phone and kept popping out of their charger too. They sent me a replacement and they weren't much better. I pulled the bottom plastic piece off, scraped off the black adhesive and glued the bottom piece back on. Fit better. Still kept the old ones too. Rotated them all. Used a rubber band to keep the first two in the charger. Well they all pretty much started to bulge. Some worse than the others. I gave up on them. I have Anker batteries for 3 different phones, and these are clearly inferior in basic build quality to them. So I abandoned them.
Went with the Akku Polarcell. I also have a new OEM battery. After about 3 months of rotating the two, I feel ilke the Akku last a little longer than the OEM. Purely perception. I don't have the time nor inclination to test them properly. But here's someone else's review on here: Polarcell Review
Wireless charging
So using an aftermarket wireless charger is likely to kill the battery quickly?

Don't think so. I've been using a Choetech wireless charger for 18 months with no problems. As long as the charger and receiver are Qi compatible there shouldn't be any problems. What will kill your battery is using wired charging with fast charging enabled all the time.
I bought 3 Anker batteries last year and have been rotating them but I'm looking for one more unit as I'm going to Nepal and having an extra fully charged battery is really handy. The Anker batteries seem to have settled at £13.99 on Amazon, the POlarcells are £19.99 but the Ravpower ones are only £10.99 and have good reviews. I'm not a fan of the "genuine Samsung" roulette and would be happy to pick one of these 3, but so far the Ravpower one looks the most likely.
I've had no issues with the official Samsung batteries for the Note 4. Thought I did, turns out it was a issue with the Marshmallow OS update that stops you from fully charging a new battery on it. I can still charge the battery that originally came with my device though.

as I know there is no new original batteries for samsung note4 for sale at this moment. you should search for analogues. I know that Craftman batteries are good as original.
Well, after buying a Ravpower battery and going on my trip I'm very disappointed to say that they've all failed - one of the Anker units swelled as has the Ravpower one and the remaining 2 Anker ones randomly shut the phone down, and not just when they're running low either - it's happened when the battery is at 90% at times!
Anker have zero stock so issued refunds and I'm waiting to hear back from Ravpower but a quick look at their amazon.co.uk listing shows that they're out of stock here in the UK.
I'm in need of at least one fully functioning battery to test the phone (I've installed a different ROM to be sure it wasn't a software issue or rogue app). The only non generic one I can find is this - has anyone had any experience with them?
What about any other options - with such an active note 4 community, surely we're all in need of new batteries at some point - what do you use? (I don't want to spend £35-40 for a new Sammy unit on a phone that cost me £150!)
I'm hesitant to recommend this due to the aforementioned 'roulette', but I notice MyMemory have some 'new and improved one from the original manufacturer'. (can't post a link as a new poster)
I've ordered Samsung SD cards from MyMemory before and they've been fine, so they obviously have some distributor link to Samsung - not just random suppliers from Amazon. They also sell a small variety of Samsung accessories - ie they aren't a general mobile tat vendor.
However the bit that worries me is the 'new and improved' and 'The Note 4 battery has increased autonomy performance and fits perfectly in your smartphone.' - I haven't studied this, but I'm surprised that OEM batteries would change design after the phone's release.
They also have a 2-power battery - I've heard positive things about 2-power, but no experience myself.

I've also bought decent stuff from Mymemory as well but firstly they're too cheap and secondly the QR code is missing the unique serial number that genuine batteries should have (and are on the ones that Samsung UK were selling a couple of months ago). The S/N printed on the battery is actually a batch number.
I've had a couple of Ankers fail and was refunded without hassle by Anker. I have 3 RAVPower and one has been in use since last September and has been 'fast charged' almost daily with, so far, no problems.
Last year I would have bought one or two, tested them for capacity and then challenged the supplier when they fell short but I'm pretty much fed up with testing them now plus I have a decent stock for my Note 4s,
