Ther are cheaper ones on e-bay: http://www.ebay.com/itm/2800mAh-External-Backup-Battery-Charger-Samsung-Galaxy-Note-GT-N7000-i9220-/110787029613?pt=PDA_Accessories&hash=item19cb6bea6d
I have a similar one marked as 1500 mAh that gives my Galaxy S a 50-60% charge. So since this is marked 2800 mAh, I'd guess it would give a full charge. And it's only $11, including shipping to Israel. The only problem is that it connects directly to the phone and makes it uncomfortable to use the phone while plugged in. I solved that with a male-female microUSB extension cable for a bit over a dollar. http://www.ebay.com/itm/121009423008?ssPageName=STRK:MEWNX:IT&_trksid=p3984.m1439.l2649 On Sat, 5 Jan 2013 11:35:33 -0600 "Steve G." <[email protected]> wrote: > Thanks for all the advice.
