Spare battery

[enzo316]

Does anyone know where you can order a spare battery from? I know Samsung has their official bundle with the white charger but it's $50.

When I had the S3 I bought 2 batteries and a wall charger for $25 on Amazon!

$39.99 on Samsung's site, but showing backordered.

I'm hoping some after market batteries pop up soon.

Edit: Amazon.com: [18-Month Warranty]Anker? 2600mAh Li-ion Battery For Samsung Galaxy S4 S IV SIV, I9500 - With NFC/ Google Wallet: Cell Phones & Accessories

Awesome price!

Amazon has some Hyperion batteries listed, but it says ships in 3-5 weeks.

$2.99, just the battery.. I need a spare charger as well though

The link I posted comes with 2 batteries w/ NFC, 1 wall charger, and a screen protector (I think).

That's not necessarily true. I had this exact same Anker package when I had an S3 and the battery life was actually better on their batteries than it was on the original Samsung believe it or not. You should see their Amazon feedback rating, it's very good..

I'm a heavy user when it comes to the phone so I don't know how long a spare can keep its charge. I usually go a day or two before needing to use my back up. Sorry I can't help you there.

Yeah, I've had good luck with Hyperion batteries in my Galaxy S2, can't speak for Anker as I haven't used them, but they seem to have solid reviews as well.

Seidioonline.com probably had the most solid selection. Plus, they have some extended batteries that will fit without needing an additional battery cover.

I always have my carrier store order me an extra one. But what kinds sucks is you have to charge it through your phone.
I think the s4 well have a spare battery kit though so you can just wall charge it!

That battery isn't NFC capable.

Just wait a little bit and you'll be able to buy a wall charger for your spare on Amazon for like $5

I messaged them about that package and they said it's not NFC capable. I would be all over it if it was.

You could use ShopAndroid.
You`re on the website right now!

Weird, I could've swore those batteries said they had NFC. I guess I'll just wait a couple weeks when Anker or Hyperion release their batteries.

Anker does have 2100mAh and a 2600mAh battery available on Amazon. I ended up ordering the 2600mAh for $15.99
