“50 year old - no tech experience on how to use this product. I purchased a Samsung Galaxy Note 4 and have been experiencing charger/cable issues from various manfrs. On your "Chat" a very helpful woman guided me to this product.due to the charger issues and seeking options that would be answers to my dilemmas. How does this work, meaning is it a charger type device bc my galaxy doesn't seem to want to hold a charge longer than a day and a half? Do I need a wall charger and cable to charge this device? What's the difference between a Powerstation XL External Battery Pack Charger, bc I may be interested in this vs the one here I'm asking questions about? Also, can you recommend a wall charger and cable for my device? No Insignia brand, as they've been nothing but problems. I'd like to purchase a good wall charger w cable, and a device such as these external battery packs, and time is an issue bc the insignias burn out too quick and a hassle to deal w insignia itself. My charger(s) wall units are unstable and my battery life is extended only by turning the phone off when not in use. (And btw, I do not leave my phone on my wall charger longer than when the battery is powered to 100%, other than maybe an hour or two here and there, so the chargers/cables burn out on me). Because i have less than 56% battery life left and no charger, time is of the essence and please, I truly need DEPENDABLE products in the wall charger/cable I need. I realize I have a lot of questions. I'm from the "pen and paper" generation, as well as disabled, therefore cannot get into a store for help. All I have is web advice and I am grateful for any guidance. May you all have beautiful every days. Thank you.”

1) Use only OEM Samsung Chargers,see their site for NOTE 4 accessories. 2) Skip the battery packs,they're typically inefficient & do not last long or provide the rated charging capacity. A better option would be to buy additional OEM NOTE4 batteries & spare battery charging kit from Samsung OR BEST BUY if available.
Sorry, there was a problem. Please try again later.1. This charger works by charging the battery externally so you can easily swap batteries out and have a 100% charge without leaving it near the wall. It's not like a traditional charger where you charge it up then plug it into your phone. That would be the Powerstation you mention. Think of it as a charging dock, almost A day and a half charge is normal on a smart phone depending on how you use it. I also have a Note 4 and I get around a day of battery (Light gaming, web browsing, music playing and texting). There's some tips on the internet that help extend your battery, which I highly recommend everyone do as there's some features that aren't necessary. 2, You will need a micro usb cable to charge it. A wall charger isn't necessary as you can plug the cable into a USB outlet (Computer) and it'll charge but much slower compared to charging through the wall. A wall charger is very handy as you won't need a computer turned on to charge. 3. The difference between this one and the Powerstation XL External Battery Pack Charger is that this one is simply to charge the phone's battery externally. The Powerstation is a giant battery that you charge which you can then plug into your phone, tablet, etc and it'll charge them. This one is specifically for a Galaxy Note 4 while the Powerstation can work with multiple devices. Hopefully this helps. This is my first time giving an answer so I'm not sure if I can reply if you have any other questions. Hopefully I can since I feel like my reply might not address all your questions well enough.
