Caka Replacement Battery for Samsung Galaxy Note 5 with Free Tools and Instructions 3.85V 3000mAh Li-ion Polymer Original Quality Battery

This is a pretty good kit and so far the battery charges fine and seems to perform like the original. I'll update later if that changes. The only issues that I had were the suction cup that comes with the kit not being that great. I ended up using a locking suction cup hook I had for hanging things on tile etc and was able to lift the back glass and get a pick under it much easier. I picked up a pair of these suction cups at Lows for a few bucks.Another issue that I had is unrelated to the product but a tale of caution for those doing the replacement procedure. I was very careful not to damage the back glass but did cause some unexpected damage under the front glass when removing the top layer from the middle. I didn't heat the top long enough and the adhesive at the edges pulled away taking some of the color in the corners with it. (See photo) So take your time when performing this step and use heat.

Ordered this to replace the original battery which was draining within 1 hour of use...my first battery worked fine.. BUT after 3 weeks of using it, my phone stopped working !!Tried multiple plugs, just NO charge ... so i took it apart again to see if it was this battery... (thankfully i had NOT yet replaced the rear glass panel with a new one... my hard case had it all covered fine) Put my original battery back in and everything worked fine so...Found out the following - this battery is about 1/8th inch / 4mm shorter than the original OEM battery. This gap allows the battery to wiggle up/down inside the phone, causing stress on the ribbon at the top of the battery. Upon inspection, i found that the reason the whole phone died was that the ribbon had come loose at the join.Up till then, the battery had been fine... and because it was within my return window, i returned it to Amazon and ordered another ... this time however, when i received it... i added some super glue to strengthen the ribbon where it joins into the battery AND filled the gap at the bottom of the battery hole (in the phone) with some cut to shape cardboard (actually the amazon box it came in worked great). I should have taken a photo but NOW the battery will not shift up/down at all.Other than that, the product worked well and i recommend the battery as a replacement as long as you're aware of the above ;)

came with tools needed to replace battery (Except heat gun of course), not exactly easy to replace Note 5 Battery. Seemed glued together better than iPhone/iPod Touch. Heat the Note 5 then heat it some more. I had it hot enough that was wearing gloves to get it apart. It was still a bit of a struggle to get started, once started it comes apart. I was worried about the rear glass but it was fine. When seperating the battrery, use more heat and push it out, dont try to pry it out, I scraped some of the finish of the front of my Note 5 where the back button is. It still works fine but cosmetically shows.The battery has been in for about a month and seems to hold a decent charge, better than my failing battery. Fit was perfect, the same as OEM. To tools that come with the battery are adequate but I think I used a couple extra "guitar pick" spacers as well.

This is a review for this  Caka Replacement Battery for Samsung Galaxy Note 5 with Free Tools and Instructions 3.85V 3000mAh Li-ion Polymer Original Quality Battery .Note: I am not a paid reviewer, I did not receive this product at a discount or free for this review. This is my own opinion.Note 2: I have never replaced a sealed battery before, I am not in a profession where I take phones apart. This was all new to me. Watched a few youtube videos first.Overall (TLDR)-Battery works fine.-Get another suction cup before starting,-Take your time (~45 minutes).-Don't force things to peel open, heat them more and slowly work through it.-Good LuckThe Review 8-15-2017:I have a Sprint Galaxy Note 5 that I purchased on release day 2015. Here we are 2 years later and it was in pretty rough shape. I needed to charge my device every couple of hours. Finally couldn't deal with it anymore and purchased this battery replacement kit. Now my Note 5 is back to about 10 hours on a single change. I play CoC, Boom Beach, Castle Clash, and do Android development work. So I would say I use my phone quite a bit throughout the day.Battery: Works as expected. I get about 10 hours on a single charge. I don't use power saver modes. I didn't have any problems with fast charging, slow charging, wireless fast charge or slow wireless charging. All work fine.Removal Kit: This is where the 5th star got lost. Could use 1 or 2 extra picks. The suction cup was a joke, didn't even stick to the device, luckily I had a small one that locks into place with a switch hook. Pretty much only used the picks, suction cup, screw driver, and the flat metal tool to remove the battery.My Process:I used a hair dryer on high heat to warm up the phone. Wear gloves, it's gonna get hot. I turned off the device, removed the spen and sim card slot. I flipped the phone over and started heating the back. Focus on the edges and bottom of the device for starting. I did this for about 10 minutes. Then I placed the suction cup on the device just above the charging port at the bottom. I very lightly pulled up and the middle back right about the micro usb popped up and I placed my first pick. I used a second pick to side along the rest of the bottom to get to the corners and placed a pick in each corner. Then I went back to the hair dryer and heated up each side and slowly, i mean very slowly, used another pick to break the adhesive. I did this for both sides. Then I heated up the top of the device and slowly folded up the back and pulled it off the top. I managed to remove the back without any cracks or breaks. But you need to be careful, take your time and don't force things. Next you have to remove about 20 tiny screws. Then I used the hair dryer to heat up the inside plastic. Then I pushed the screen and board off the plastic shield. I un hooked the battery and used the hair dryer to heat the battery. I used the flat metal tool to wedge under the battery and bend upwards. I slowly did this moving around all sides of the battery. This took a little bit of effort since it's really glued in. Once the battery popped out, I plugged the new battery in, then reversed the process. After i put the back on, I heated the device and pressed firmly on all the edges in attempt to use the existing adhesive. The whole process took a little over 45 minutes to complete. It wasn't hard, but I took things slow.

Not sure why, but It's hard to locate a replacement battery for sealed phones such as Samsung Note, Galaxy, iPhone, Motorola, etc.. The ones you do find on ebay are often used. The new ones seem to not be of the same quality as the original battery - as a result, the phone won't last long between charges. This is my third 'new' battery, but first from Caka, and it's the only one that delivers the advertised 3,000 mAah capacity. My phone is back to lasting nearly two days between charges which I'm happy about.As others have said, removing and replacing the battery is a bit complicated and you'll need a heat gun to soften the glue and a bit of patience.
