Hello OzBargainers,
I am looking for a spare battery for my Note 4. Does anyone know where to buy genuine Samsung battery from?
MobileCiti has one on sale… https://www.mobileciti.com.au/original-samsung-galaxy-note-4…
Is it genuine and is the price reasonable?
i've bought generic batteries from aliexpress for many phones and have found that after several charging cycles that they are near to the capacity of the original battery. -always look at the batteries with decent feedback when choosing a battery.
there is this battery made by Nohon form aliexpress for US$11.43 delivered
I've heard decent things about this brand (i.e. capacity as stated on battery)
You can buy the genuine battery from the Samsung store in Melbourne Central, was $40-50 from memory.

Thanks guys and gals.
Genuine note 4 batteries are rubbish. I've had two original batts fail in less than 2 years. Not sure if they were the same batch, but seeems pretty common. One battery got replaced under warranty and has now failed. Both batts will cause the phone to turn off prematurely even before reaching 20-15%.
Paid $18.50 for one of these http://www.ebay.com.au/itm/331878229137 and have been using it for a week now with much better result, phone now works all the way down to 1%. Doesn't look genuine though. NFC antenna is a different size to the genuine batts and the printing is very slightly fuzzy, the 2D barcode isn't sharp either. Probably a good quality knock off.
I bought it from this mob back then.

I haven't checked it since but this could be your start.
