i have one i bought a 10000 mah battery before my note 4 even came ive never even used my stock batterry
I'm using the battery for a few days now, but i'm not quite satisfied with it. Maybe it takes more time to get to the full capacity? I weighted the battery and it has 50 grams (Original had 53 grams) so it cannot have such capaccity as first battery in Note 4. I still have to recharge the phone to get through day.
I just switched to tmobile and got the Redmi note 5/pro and I must say its definitely and improvement over the Samsung note 4. thanks for the recommendation @carlos. feels sturdy and its almost done charging completely and will see how long the battery lasts. im soo excited.
sorry, wrong place for this. mod delete it if you want. I don't know how to delete it hahah

I don't have Note4 now but there is a chance that even the 'authentic' batteries don't offer the same charge as the original. The only way of knowing is to get a cheap battery tester to see exactly how much mAh it does.
Two 'authentic' batteries I got from very reputable sellers did not seem much better than the definite fake one that I had so I think there is more to this than meets the eye.
If you're not happy I would send it back.
I don't know why people bother when Anker makes a fantastic replacement for cheaper. I gave up and got that.
The thing is, batteries age from date of manufacture and as Samsung are no longer manufacturing them they are almost guaranteed to be worse than a good third party battery now.

I did not find Anker battery on Ebay anymore to buy it. Maybe i didn't look good enough.
Not seeing the Anker one any more in the UK either - I just ordered a RAVPower one as my battery has been draining quickly the past few days (18 month old genuine Samsung) and I need to try a new one to rule it out as the issue - failing that it'll be a factory rest. RAVPower have a good reputation, and the battery has NFC: https://www.amazon.co.uk/Battery-RAVPower-3220mAh-Replacement-T-Mobile-Black/dp/B072N5G4RB
also have Ravpower battery with which I replaced a failed Anker battery which in turn replaced failed Samsung battery. Reliable, works just as well as the previous two
I'm using this battery from seller Teresa101250 on Ebay for aproximately half mont now and the phone barely lasts half day. Today i left it to discharge completly and now i recharged it shutted down and connected through USB voltage and amperage tester. Phone charged itself aprox. 1 hour and 20 minutes to 100% and took 1,318 Ah of power.
I'm gonna try one more thing. The *#0228# and resetting the battery gauge. I will know tomorrow if it helped anything. The battery dropped from 98% to 94% when i resetted gauge.

After second attempt results are the same, battery only take 1,3Ah of power. Seller send me refund. I'm gonna try with RavPower.
Yes. I suspected mine from that seller was not giving the full ~3200mAh. In that case the conclusion is that there are no authentic Samsung batteries available. This battery came in retail packaging and the qr code on the battery worked.
I have a RavPower coming in today. I will let you all know how it works out.
Battery was at 57% out of the package (nicely packaged too, btw). Installed and charged and this is the result of that first charge. 3:19 screen on time with 13:20 total time on battery. This includes BT, Wi-Fi, and High Accuracy location on the whole time. Screen I keep around 30% as that is more than bright enough for me indoors. I also did my morning hour long commute during this using Android Auto and Waze. Much better than my failing original battery. Hoping the next charge does better, but for $16 I cannot complain. I am on the last MM security update that was available for the phone.

My second charge I had 3:15 screen on time and 31% battery left before plugging in to charge before bed. This included my commute home, but once I got home I turned off location.
I'll see how it does today, but so far so good. I'm normally only using a couple hours max a day, but I recently got this Note 4 and am purposely not charging while in the car while doing these tests. I know it will last a typical day for me though.

I can recommend Nohon baterry from aliexpress. 60% out of a box, and sot around 5h on latest stock rom and stock kernel. It cost around 10$ with free shipping I think I will get another one soon. I think that is a good alternative for anker or ravpower
That looks good except that it doesn't have NFC. I need NFC for my Google Pay that I use a lot.
I'm using RavPower for 2 weeks now and it's better then "Genuine Samsung" batteries. I get through day with maybe 5 percents left.
Hi Everyone,
The first link to the Note 4 Battery is the one which I am selling. I have started to move away from eBay as there is a lot of competition and sellers claiming their batteries are genuine but they are not. I have purchased from numerous sellers, not going to mention them and can confirm they are all fake. I have built a reputation on eBay for selling genuine batteries so if you require mobile batteries or even parts then please visit my site - foneparts4u.co.uk
Worldwide shipping available, please send an email for postage costs.
Thanks
