Just got my two extra Note 4 batteries for my Note 4 that I ordered on eBay for $11.95 each. The original battery is on the right in the picture and the other two are the eBay batteries. They are identical in every way and have the NFC circuitry built in. I also got two batteries for my Note Edge last week from the same seller.

Re: $11.95 Batteries From eBay

Took a full week to get the batteries though. They shipped through DHL who then turns it over to USPS. I hate when sellers do that.
The price includes their part of the shipping cost - you'd pay more if they shipped by USPS. DHL? You'd pay more for shipping than for the battery. Combind the wto and the shipping cost is just this side of unreasonable. (If you're on Prime, they still pay part, so you would pay more.)

Yeah, I realize the it's to keep the cost low. The wait is worth saving the money in the end.

I'm weary after buying a cheap battery on Amazon that looked OEM and turned out to only last 4 months before dying around 30-40%. How does this battery compare to an Anker which I've heard nothing but good things about?

The Samsung battery I posted about above is a real Samsung battery. I would buy it over an Anker battery. Some people say they have had good luck with Anker but I have never tried them.

Samsung batteries are cheaply priced now because the Note 4 is now an old phone. The seller I mentioned above is very close to being out of them now. They've sold hundreds of them and have nothing but good feedback on them.
Why pay $20 for an Anker battery when you can get a genuine Samsung battery for $11.95?

I also bought a S-View case for $6.95. That same case cost me $30 a year ago.

I'll give them a look. The 2 Anker batteries and a travel charger are only $31.99 on Amazon. That's a pretty good price too.

I also bought a genuine Samsung S-View case for $6.95 on Wednesday and just got it today. It is the real deal. Don't be afraid to buy these things on eBay just because they are priced so low.

Definately this, but do your homework and check feedback first.
I've had some good deals on bits for my phone but sometimes I've sold stuff and it's sold for more than what the buyer could have got new elsewhere lol.

Most likely fake OEM. This happened to me as well on eBay. Very hard to tell, until they wont hold a charge very well.
I love Anker batteries, and they stand by them 100%. I will use Anker again, as they have treated me well. Also, you know where your merchandise is coming from too.

They are original batteries complete with the NFC circuitry.

I could really use an OEM battery for Note 3 but despite their claims I do not believe they are real. I say this because I called Samsung and even THEY don't have them nor make them any more.
