Real dilemma now, don't know which battery to buy.

This is cheap (RM89.00) and claimed to be original battery (and Authorized reseller) :-

This is from the "Official Store" by Samsung Authorized Partner-Accessories but much costlier at RM147.00:-

Ya hor, might as well.



I just check my wishlist, sudah "out of stock", that's why no more link.
No choice but to buy the cheaper one and fingers cross, it's authentic.

I have actually never used nfc function before but I will try to see if I can make it work.
I think from the battery you would be able to see some type of wires behind the wrapping if it is original.

Unfortunately unable to purchase it today as Lazada is having some problem with credit card payment. I made my purchase but there was no payment verification page. Contacted Lazada live chat, they told me to try again in 24 hours time...sheesh.

Hey jef10012003, I received my battery from Vincent Online.
It just came bubble wrap using Gdex.
It looks legit with the back having the NFC chip.
I tried using NFC Android Beam on my colleague's Samsung phone with NFC and it works. Able to transfer photos using beam.
So now, I will be testing whether the charge can hold for a day or not under my normal use.

Good to know. Thanks.

Hey Jeff, I have been using the battery for a over a week now and happy to say that the charge in it holds and am getting good battery life from it.
Since using it, I have not reached for my power bank. I'm however what you call a light user. Only on Facebook and sometimes Candy Crush.
But I still have more than 20% battery balance when I charge it before I go to sleep at night.
On weekends, when there is even less on screen time, there is no need to charge it throughout Saturday till Sunday (I think might also last until Monday night).
If my old battery, I have to charge it after lunch and by the time I charge it again before I go to sleep, it will be less than 10%.


Disclaimer: My usage of the battery will be different from yours and what I experience using the battery is my own.
Therefore I will not be responsible should you encounter a different type of usage from the battery should you purchase it.
Also, this battery is only a week old, whether it does or does not hold the charge down the road is to be seen.

must have disclaimer lah, if not then when the battery not up to your expectations, I scared you “tiau “ me... .
This my 2nd replacement battery after the original.
Do we need to re-calibrate the new battery ah? Anyone knows how to do it?

What do you think of the Zerolemon battery?

Where did you buy it from and how much was it?


Yeah, I would guess that the bulkiness is the tradeoff for better battery live.
i'm a light to medium user, so better stick to standard batteries. Thanks for your insight.

Thanks jeff for the video. The Zerolemon battery fitting like transforming our note 4 into the a note 4 Hulk...
Makes the phone wider and also thicker. Better stick to standard batteries.
