The spare battery kit is now available,hopefully it'll be a promo item on launch day:

That is going to be popular! :cool:
May not be necessary, some videos are reporting superb battery life. Easily one day with mid to heavy usage, and some reported it lasted 2 days w/light usage.
I hope so, this phone looks like a beast!

You're probably right,most mfgs have stepped up their game to ensure that we can get at least one "typical" days of use out of our phones before the need to recharge arises.
However,it's nice to simply swap out batteries when getting home from work/etc..... & doing the same when the next (work) day starts anew.
I prefer this vs leaving a phone on a charger,keeping that charging-generated heat away from the phone entirely.

Personally, I wouldn't advise that.
I can't imagine they'd be the same physical size since v10 is 3000 and v20 is 3200.

(hmmm I automatically assumed you meant the spare battery charger case that came with the v10 extra batteries. If you mean wall charger then... Hmmm dunno lol)

yes I was referring to the spare battery case. I'd rather not buy a new one, if my OLD one, worked okay.

The batteries are different widths, but I could just take the door off.

just being cheap...guess I'll buy the NEW set.

I picked one of these up today, battery life wasn't lasting all day like I hoped but its a feature packed phone with a big a$$ screen and I can't put it down. Hate to have to tether it to a wall for charging plus the couple days of sitting in an airport coming up will make this back up battery well worth it.

I got 9 hours with 4.5 hours of talk time, and 4 hours of screen on time. I am happy with that result. I can see on the days I don't have a lot of phone/conference calls I can see the phone going 16+ hours and possibly 6 hours of SOT.

I will more than likely be buying on of these just for my busy days as a backup.

$59.75 after shipping? No thanks. Wait till lg comes out with it and hope for some deals. So I can buy like a 6 pack. Getting phones with swappable batteries these days is rare. And having a few extra if you plan on keeping more than 1-2 years or selling after a year or two really helps resale value so next person has a couple fresh batteries for their "new" toy. Might buy some more gnote4 batteries while I can. I have 3 new ones left and I just popped this one in about 3 months ago.

Can't wait until these are more readily available and at a much more reasonable price. Will be so nice to go back to the time when I could just pop a new battery in and not have to worry about charging my phone for days at a time.

Even if it lasted all day with heavy usage, I'd still use the user changeable battery pretty often. I swap when I am in the field, on loooong bike rides, on vacation, or after I leave work and just don't want to sit waiting for the thing to charge. I'm so happy LG kept this feature.

I'm really happy people are reporting good battery life though.
