Bought a new charger and OEM battery for my Note 3. This will be like the 5th battery. Ugh.
I hope the USB 3.0 fast charging port still works on my Note 3. If not, I spent money for nothing (Been using regular micro USB charger since losing the original).

That depends on if they have the money or motivation to purchase a new phone. If the phone otherwise works fine, why spend the money to replace it? It would be like simply replacing my paid off car because it has maintenance needs coming up. I've got about ~$400 in maintenance to do this spring, but that's about what one car payment on that car was when I purchased it. Other than being older, it runs fine. So it's worth it to me to pay the money in maintenance once, and continue enjoying the car I have, than to trade in and go back to paying that every month.
Yes I understand that just saying that's a lot of money invested in one phone that can be considered outdated (I understand he bought the 5 batteries over time)
But why replace something just because you might think it's outdated? It might perform adequately for them. My car is outdated - it's 8 years old and has 153,000 miles. It has hail damage to the body, and probably isn't worth more than about $2k. But in the long run, I've invested a lot of money to maintain it, sure. But that money is much less than a new car would cost me. Even saying that they've paid $200 in batteries over time, that's cheaper than a new phone that they may not even like. If it works, and they like it, why question their choice to maintain it rather than simply get a new one? There may be variables to the choice that you and I cannot know.
Was just a general statement, obviously I don't know his exact situation
And actually second hand SE are cheap, some people might not like it, but it is a nice device
Order confirmed this morning for our replacement company car 
Leasing company currently seeing if they can find a vehicle in my chosen specification, if not then it'll be ordered directly from the manufacturer. Not sure how long that'll take, but if it's anything like the last car, delivery will be May/June.
