Hmm, 25 Jan 2013Batteries are so cheap can't really see your point. There are some areas where you can't power to charge for days or your device draining your battery reserve faster. Or when travelling or in a vehicle, your device works harder getting and switching to different cell towers.
Even with multiple batteries, like what I did with the Note I, it was probably having that full charge and draining it to 1% is why I was only getting 4 hours after a few months from 8 hours when they were new with heavy use.
The original battery for the Note II cost $25 to $50. It really depends on the dealer. They aren't cheap. Supplies of them fluctuated for the Note I resulting in double pricing 6 months back. So stocking up while they are affordable AND doing the proper method of optimized charging saves you some hard-earned money. I can't really say we are contributing to lesser carbon foot-printing for replacing old batteries longer. Or the fact we lessen the toxic waste of these batteries. For that, I would be advicing you to stick to one battery.
Ther main point is, you are prolonging the battery's ability to hold as much power for every charging session. The method is not to waste money, and when you do need your battery to be relied on, they can hold optimal power. Be it may, in your case with buying a new battery every 6 months or keep as many now, the thing is, you would not be getting more what you are paying for.

helopilot, 25 Jan 2013I second your opinion about the Neighbor very diplomatic, ... moreHaha, I'm a person who would just like to get the most of the Note II. Diplomacy is the only way to effectively get facts and sensible ideas accross. That's how people start believing you. I research when I have questions on how to Note well. Some of the things I write are stuff I discover by fiddling with the device.
One topic that isn't covered much is security of your device. My younger brother was mugged at knife point and he lost his less than a week Note II. That got me thinking. How do you prevent that yet you can still maximize it? We can start that discussion right here. What is the best security app out there?
Another topic is making art with your Note. I've done some. It' small enough to be handy to be able to sketch anywhere.
Thank you for appreciating my posts. It's only been 2 weeks.

There are available power timers for that by estimating and setting when the charge reaches 80%. Yeah, it's a hassle for the sake of prolonging the battery capacity. This is where the extra battery comes in handy or probably a portable power bank.

Here's an interesting battery management practice on how to prolong the battery replacement life of any device. It's not to mistaken on how more power but the prevention of its inability to hold optimum power.
Contrary to what I knew of constantly keeping my battery power at least 90%+, the Android Guy said the sweet spot is keeping your battery between 20% to 80% to prevent the inability to hold more power in the months ahead. That's why you see a feature in the newer laptops cutting the charging at 80% to prevent damage to the battery. Never understood that till now. Going under 20% or deep discharge will also shorten the life of your battery. With this practice, you will double the lifetime of your battery.
This is justification for me to get that extra battery + charger pack. That sweetspot of 60% zone, and having a rate of my moderate usage of 2 hours per 10%, that gives me only 12 hours between charges.
Here's the original video:

One thing about the note n7000 i had before is that the option to move apps to sd card is there and it is a great feature. I lost it when i updated it to jb. Now after trading it off and getting the n7100 ,which is having jb,that feature is not there. I cant understand why samsung removed it.its a simple function but of great importance. I hope they will bring it back in future updates.n7100 is a remarkable devise and it will be even better being able to move apps especially if you put a 64gb mem card inside it.
