The first thing I thought when I saw this was that the battery life of the G3 must be pretty bad for them to be giving you an extra battery for free?! I guess it’s just that LG wants to be nice to buyers of their flagship phone. The offer starts September 22nd and I don’t see listed anywhere how long the promo will run…

LG Electronics today announced it will be giving customers the chance to easily double the usage time they get out of their LG G3 smartphone in between charges. Beginning today, through September 22, 2014, anyone who purchases an LG G3 during this promotional period will receive a free extra battery and battery-charging cradle, valued at approximately $70 (USD).  So now, not only will customers have the leading flagship smartphone, which already boasts one of the industry’s longest battery life, they can easily open up their LG G3 and pop in a fresh battery whenever they want.

The recently released LG G3 has already been touted by the media and fans as the perfect smartphone.  It builds upon the heritage of the premium G® smartphone series – packing the first 5.5-inch Quad HD display in the United States; refined and intuitive design and user experience; and a captivating 13-megapixel camera including OIS+ technology with Laser Autofocus.

"The overwhelming response for the new LG G3 speaks for itself.  We’ve received praise from some of the industry’s toughest reviewers and from consumers all around the world," said Chang Ma, senior vice president of North American marketing, LG MobileComm.  "With this battery promotion, we are highlighting our superior performance and incentivizing those consumers that want that extra peace of mind, even if they never need it. They will now have twice as much time to spend on their adventures with their LG G3 before they have to even worry about looking for an outlet."

The limited time offer will be open to those who purchase an LG G3 device via any carrier or authorized retailer.  To learn more, please visit: www.LGG3promo.com.
