Bests & Worsts Reviews from Amazon

I was discouraged too, reading all these critical reviews. Now I think I got the biggest bargain on Amazon. I bought this package, which sounded pretty good: 3 batteries and a charger for $10 less than a Samsung battery. Although some reviews were cautious or critical, I didn't care if the batteries were crappy and the charger was a piece of junk. I just wanted that an 3-4 hours from time to time, and this kit looked to provide it. What I got was an outstanding bargain. Simply outstanding. The 3 batteries each provided more than 12 hours of power -- on their first charge. Nearly as good as the stock battery that came with the phone for its first few charges. Most batteries increase their capacity after a few charges, so this bodes well. No, they don't have NFC like the stock battery. I have never used any NFC features and don't figure to do so. Do you? The charger is neat and compact. The batteries snap into place quite positively and it lights up to show proper installation. Light turns blue when charge is done. The light is so bright I covered it over with black tape: enough light escapes to do the trick. The charger is clearly a trickle charger. It takes 8 hours more or less to charge a battery. But you now have 3 new batteries -- and your original -- to play with. With four batteries to cycle, you should never be without power. I recommend this package whole-heartedly. One of the best bargains I have ever purchased. UPDATE: On its second charge one of these "crappy" batteries lasted more than 24 hours. UPDATE2: This item has just had its price lowered to $10, making it an even more outstanding bargain. UPDATE3: I paid $16 and thought I got a bargain. I just saw that the price has been reduced to $8.99. This is incredible.
