Change Battery to 3800 mah

[JohannW]

Hello,
i love my Note8 but as i came from the Xiami Mi Max 3 i'm not really satisfied with the battery. But the Note9 is way to expensive at the moment and ( for me ) not a better device than the Note 8 beside the better battery.

I have found on aliexpress a battery for the note 8 with a 3800mah instead the 3200mah from Samsung. Anyone tried this battery yet? The 20% bigger capacity would be a huge improvement for battery life.

Probably fake, but its certainly unsafe to do it, you might cause a lot of problems this way - even destroy a phone .
Try keeping your battery between 20 and 90% and you might get longer lasting battery.. That's just it, dont experiment with these sorts of things like battery capacity...

I think the battery life is pretty decent already, you could just get a powerbank if you are that concerned, I would suggest that over you putting a questionable battery in, all while probably ruining the IP68 in doing so.

I Tried 2 bigger than original batteries in the past for a S3 and a Note 3, first, these batts lack the NFC and wireless capabilities, second, they were not even near the advertised capacity, furthermore, they failed miserably in less than 2 months

What the others said, but also, the batteries are, for all intents and purposes, none-replaceable. It's not as simple as opening the back cover and swapping out the battery. There's a lot of work involved in doing it and you could potentially damage your phone just from this process, much less even the battery itself.
I don't recommend you try this.

Don't do it, that sounds like a fire hazard waiting to happen.

I know you are joking, but, hey! I still have my silver titanium note 7 since September 2016, ,and works really fine!

I can imagine you have been avoiding ALL firmware updates since then ,so as not to network-brick the device.

As I did not want to surrender my device, yes, I used bk disabler to avoid any firmware update, but, just as a precaution, because here in Mexico the largest carrier, Telcel did not force anybody to exchange the device, in fact, you could keep it and in the event of it catching fire or anything of the sort, they would then exchage it for any other device, provided the warranty period still alive

Telcel gave you a very good deal here. Whenever you are ready to convert your Note 7 into self-destruct (nuclear bomb) mode, I'm sure this forum has several interesting ideas. On an unrelated note (no pun intended): Have you ever taken this phone on a flight before? If so, have you had any hassle doing so?

I recall in 2017 when I was re-fueling my car at a local petrol station here in Jamaica (not self-serve, but a pump attendant). A pedestrian (on foot) was on a phone call on a Note 7. I instinctively started my car, slammed it in gear ,floored the accelerator, leaving my gas cap, and forgetting to pay the fuel bill. I was determined not to die that day.
