    I'd like to know if the G4 is using the same battery because I have an extra unused one from the G3 plus a stand charger from that promo last year. That would be awesome!!

    No it isn't. The "feet" on the battery casing don't match.

    Do you know if the LG made battery charger for the spare batteries that worked with the G3 will work with the G4 batteries?

    I have a feeling a new spare charger would be needed.

    Sucks they didn't keep the battery the same physical shape.

    Yeah would have been a huge win if it were the same battery! But they are not that much more money...

    This is true. Just got a Onite G3 battery for $10 on amazon. Was going to put up a review in a week or 2 of use. So far it's no different than what came with my G3 from best buy

    Nice! Almost got the anker, given the reviews, wasn't sure it was worth the $. Content with the same battery life as stock, hoping the G4 ups the SOT length.

    Figures, why would any company want you to use the perfectly good battery you had laying around when they could make an extra buck off of you? Oh well, still looking forward to the G4 release!

    Different battery models. G3 has BL-53YH, G4 has BL-51YF.

    yeah... that's shame. Well I guess the old unused spare and charger will help sell the G3.

    If you compare the pins on the batteries the positive pin is in a different position than between the batteries. On the G3 battery is goes Neg - blank - blank - Pos, on the G4 it is Neg - blank - Pos - blank. It will fit in the G4 but don't try to power it up with it in.

    Anyone want to buy a cheap G3 battery and charger?
