Samsung Galaxy Note 4 Spare Battery Charger with OEM Replacement Battery

Very nice little battery charger. The one I received included a Samsung/OEM battery w/ embedded NFC (near field communication (one can see the outline of the antenna under the battery's label on one side)). Also, "NFC" is printed on the battery label. The labels on the battery shipped w/ this charger are identical to those of my phone's original battery.It definitely works well w/ a Samsung fast charger. After years of using a smart phone w/ a non-removable battery, it's a treat to (a) be able to swap out a battery when needed again and (b) have a drained battery charge to capacity so quickly.I sometimes have to be on a conference call for hours at a time. In the past, I've had to get creative to keep my phone charged during long days and lengthy calls (external charger/battery pack; extension cord to plug in A/C to D/C charger...and so on). Now I can go back to carrying spare, charged batteries - just as I did back in my flip/pre-smart phone days.PROs:This charger is very portable - has a small foot print. It's just large enough to accommodate the Note 4 battery.Build quality feels sturdy/well built. The charger has some heft (w/out the battery). It isn't flimsy / doesn't feel fragile. The door movement is smooth - opens and closes smoothly w/ no slop. Battery fits into the charger perfectly and w/ ease. It, too, is a very good fit - there's no play in the battery when it's seated in the charger.The micro-USB plug of the Samsung charging cable (not included) seats into the micro-USB connector on the charger properly as well.The charger has an LED which indicates battery's charge state (Green = fully charged, Amber = charging...). The LED isn't blindingly bright - it's a modest size - just large & bright enough to make the battery's charge state clear w/out having to shield your eyes or reach for something to cover it up at night.The battery that ships w/ the charger comes in a little case of its own. So, if you want to carry a spare on you, you can do so safely - w/out risk of damaging the battery's contacts. I carry a spare batt' in the case in one of my tactical pants pockets.CONs:Just one - I'd like to be able to connect the charger (w/ a charged battery "loaded") to my phone for those times when I'm not in a position to terminate a call in order to swap the phone battery. I've searched around for a Samsung micro-usb plug to micro-usb plug cable to connect the charger directly to my phone. I've found one for "sharing power". (a) It's pricy @ $19.95. (b) I'm not sure it's compatible. Will need to contact Samsung to inquire.All in all, this is a great little accessory for a power-hungry smartphone like the Note 4. I highly recommend it.

How can you not love more power?One of the most interesting and useful accessories you can purchase for your cell phone. Lets be honest, as smartphone become more powerful we use them more which means having enough power is always going to be an issue until battery technology improves enough to give us a week on a single charge.Until that happens, these battery kits from Samsung are honestly a must have item.I have made these the first purchase for my new Note 3 and my recent upgrade to my Note 4. I use my phone all day, everyday and go through 2-3 full charges on average. Previously I would find myself attached to either the outlet or a portable battery which would charge the phone slowly while it was used.In using the battery kits you are no longer tied down to a cord. You can swap out batteries, snap the dead one into the portable charger and connect it to the outlet or even a portable battery pack. No more inconvenience of being tied down with a charging cable.My favorite setup is to swap my dead battery for the charged one in the case. I then attach the charger with the dead battery to a portable power pack in my messenger bag. Since I carry at least a 5000mAh power pack I can charge my battery at least once with some residual charge left to tie me over. This provides a totally mobile power solution, again with no cable attached to your phone.The kit comes with 3 pieces: 1 spare battery, 1 plastic carry case and 1 charging case.According to Samsung you can keep the spare battery inside the charging case which is how I keep my kit. This way I simply swap, charge and go. My phone is always powered and I never worry anymore about having to seek out a power pack or an outlet.

I wanted to purchase a spare battery for my Note 4 when I purchased it earlier in the year as I play professional baseball I travel on a bus for several hours each day and fight for outlets in the clubhouse when we arrive at the stadium.I previously owned a powerbank portable charger for my HTC one m7 before buying my Note 4 but was not a fan of charging and using the phone since it made it extremely hot and more or less didn't charge the phone but prolonged the batter.This battery made my phone one of my favorite purchases for my career and daily activity. I no longer worry about my battery charge when on the road or in the clubhouse since I know I can pop this battery in in under a 30 seconds and have a 100% charge. It works exactly like it is intended to be used and have never had an issue with the battery. No calibration was needed from my phone and it accepted it right away as it is a Samsung product. It fits perfectly in the phone with no sliding and the charging case worked perfectly with my charging cable (also a Samsung cable that came with Note 4).I see this product as a necessity with all note 4 owners and is the first thing I talk about when someone mentions what is the best part of the Note 4, the already great battery life but the ability to swap batteries in no time and have a full charge.
