hello everyone Michael here from the daily S4 youtube channel and today
I want to show you the official Spare Battery Charging System by Samsung for your
Galaxy S4. The best thing about the S4 having a removable battery is that,
you can get away with
never having charge the device you have a second battery charged and ready to go
so imagine
this is the mornign and you have a
drained battery
so you can just turn your device off
and it will vibrate when it's done charging
you can see there's a green led there that means it's fully charged
I just heard it vibrate so let's take the battery out
and we'll just swap these batteries
once I put these in, you can see that the led turns red
and that will charge for a couple of hours
let's put this back in and the cover back on
and let's power this thing on
and you should be good for the day
the days of you having to linger around the wall jack of your home, office or your
friend's house will be a distant memory
I generally find that charging the battery in the charger results in a
slightly better charge which gives you a slightly better battery life
and a question I have gotten often get is, is it ok to keep your battery on the charger
after it has done charging, the short answer is yes
when it turns green
it stops charging, and that's how i've been using the external charger on the
Samsung Galaxy phones for years
but the best practice for any battery charger is to disconnect it from the
charger when it's done charging
so in front of us is what is makes up what Samsung calls the spare battery charging
system. In other words, it is a spare battery, and an external charging kit
the model number is ETC-
CP1G6LGSTA
that's the US model number, it may differ slightly
if you're in another country
samsung sells this directly from their website at samsung.com for 49
dollars US,
and just do a search for your phone, galaxy S4,
then go to the accessories tap to find it for purchase, now the galaxy s working
so new, you may find it out of the stock but you should be able to get your hands on
one eventually, in the past samsung has had promotional coupons for up to 50%
off
so keep a watch for that as well, as getting this for half price will be an awesome deal
eventually this package will make it's way onto sites like amazon and ebay
let's go over the contents, it comes with a spare full sized 2600 mah
battery with a translucent plastic battery case with Samsung's logo
debossed on it
it also contains a battery charging case, which also doubles as a carring
case if you carry a bag or have some decent pocket room to spare, it should
also come with the standard 2amp charger and notice I said "it should"
because in the past, it sometimes came packaged with the
.7amp travel charger
here i want to show you how the S4 charging case differs from the charging cases
that we've been seeing from samsung
for the last, year or so
so this is a note 2 charging case but the galaxy S3 charging case was
very similar,
was just a little smaller
but as you can see the reason this is so much smaller is they didn't put the stand
portion of the charing case
so as you can see if the charging case was there you can put the S4 there, and i thought it
would work well,
but i guess they opted to not to put it on here i got a lot of use on the
stand portion of this case, when i first got my galaxy note 2 but after i got a
case
with a kickstand on it, I never use this thing so I thing samsung got it right by not putting
the
stand portion, it just made it a lot bigger
and made it difficult for carrying it around
so anyway if you own a samsung galaxy S4 definitely pick one of these up
because it will be absolutely worth money we're talking about going from having to
charge the phone everyday to feeling like you're never charging your phone and just
walking out each morning with the fresh battery
so if you haven't been to my channel yet, please come to my channel and check out my other videos

videos as often as possible so that you can get the most out of your samsung galaxy S4
