The battery on my note 3 is nothing short of amazing, but I was thinking of buying a spare. I read good things about these MPJ ones, specially since they seem to pack a bit more juice and are affordable, without impacting the overall feel of the phone.

Anybody using this one? Does it really deliver roughly 30% more battery time than stock?

Thanks

I don't think so ... at 4500mAh it should be a lot better than just comparable to the stock battery! Don't settle for less! There is lot of better batteries out there, like Anker & Caseology that are rated at the standard 3200mAh!

Cheers, Jon

I actually did a bit of research and I don't think it is a good idea to buy these batteries. At 3.7 watt, they are below the stock 3.8 standard, and would therefore deliver about the same endurance, but without matching stock in power.

Quality is top notch ... I have seen it all .... still charging & we'll see what I get after that! I have had batteries where you can tell by the feel that the cells are split in 2. Those are the batteries I have seen that never start at 100% & never last more than 2/3 of the OEM battery. These are not those batteries so far ;)

Update: Taking a long time to charge .... hope it's worth it .... more later :)

Cheers, Jon

After charging for 5+ hours I put it in the phone & it started out at 100% for about 5 minutes & after updating 10 apps on WiFi it's at 99% :)

So far the battery is working great! Not much screen time, but have been doing a lot of WiFi file transfers & such :)

Cheers, Jon

The battery is the same size as the OEM Samsung. I hope they work great after 5 charges too :)

Looks great I'm searching for a extended battery too but would like to see the performance when your power using it after the 4th, 5th charge

Btw does this battery add bulk?

Sorry, I'm not a power user ..... you'll be waiting a very long time ..... Average 4 days/Charge x 3 batteries = 12 * 4 = 48 days for 4 charges :) BTW, 4 days is the lowest average ;) Still on my first charge ;) Battery is the same size as the OEM battery :) It is lasting at least as long as the OEM :D

As of now, they are sold out on Amazon.!! :(

I had them on order when they were $15.95.. Then I got a note that, they were unavailable..Then they showed up again,and after your good report, they are gone again!! :(

EDIT NOTE: When I click on the link to Amazon for the Note 3 batteries, they were unavailable. Five minutes later I click back and again, they were there..
$16.99 with $2.99 shipping.

Are these adding bulk to the phone.? Or are they exactly the same as the stock
Edit: they're the same size

Don't understand how you are getting that long. Aren't these the same capacity of the standard supplied.

What do you have enables / disabled

These are the 3200mAh capacity & my Samsung batts do this well too. I don't do messaging, I pull email from one account every 2 hours, screen is set to about 20%, I do record all my calls mostly for telemarketers. Haven't played any games on it yet.

Ok that makes more sense

I get approx 4 hours screen time.

But have about 10 widgets and loads of things running with auto brightness.
