I've been a great fan for ZeroLemon battery. Bought 3 and used 1along with original battery.
However, I am wondering when I should start using new one after disposing old one.
Its been 10 month now with intensive use.

I've just bought a 3600mAh battery by Sino Cameron from Ebay, and followed the manufacturers recommendation to fully charge it before using it in my IIi.
I have also cycled it 5 or 6 times now and i still cannot get it to last any longer than my OEM 1300mAh battery. It doesn't take too long to charge up and the OEM battery is lasting a bit longer than the new one even though i've had it over a year. I've tried charging it through my alpine and in the spare slot on the OEM charger but it still makes no difference.
Does the battery need cycling a few more times or does it need more use?
Do i need a different charger?
Could it be a faulty battery?
Is it my IIi that's the issue?
I was expecting the battery to be effective from day one, last at least twice as long +, and be a significant improvement on my old OEM battery. I have read a couple of reviews about their 2400mAh battery lasting almost twice as long as the OEM battery, and i was thinking my new battery would be even better than that but i have to say i feel pretty well dissapointed.
Any suggestions before i send this battery back to the retailer would be appreciated, and has anyone else had a similar issue?
Sorted!!
Great News.....
I got the retailer to exchange the battery for another one and BINGO!! This one is working as intended and is lasting about 2.5 times longer than the standard 1300mAh battery.
So it was a faulty battery after all and thats a big relief. I have to sing the batterys praises as it truly does do what it says on the tin and i cannot believe how long i can leave my IIi on in standby phone mode, and the battery indicator hardly moves in hours!!
Excellent battery, highly recommended
Hi all.
Let's share our experience about batteries, this is more about hardware than software side. Where is better to buy quality replacement batteries and etc...
I'm using two normal capacity 1350 mAh replacement batteries on my HD2 Nexus android. Both of them I bought on ebay quite long time ago and... what can I say, they performing ok, maybe slightly worse that was original one (lost). Recently I bought extended battery on ebay, twice thick and twice heavier than original one with back cover, 2400 mAh. Strange thing, it lasts about the same (sometimes I think even less) as original capacity ones. Peope say do calibration... This is what I'm going to do tonight, but strange, these normal capacity ones have not done any calibrations and last well. The question, why double capacity one does'n last any longer???
I will update you about changes after calibration.
Because of the calibration it just charges it till the normal capacity battery would be full, and but since this is a extended capacity battery it will need to be calibrated so that it knows that it can be charged further.
But, that's my theory. just try it out and see for yourself.

Extended batteries will drain down to 15% then should stay there for a while. And even if the phone shuts down due to drainage all you have to do is remove the battery, put it back in and you're back to around 40%.
I use 2 extended ones from ebay and they last at least 1.5-1.75 longer than the skinny original htc one.

Any way to bring a battery back up to spec? I was thinking about bump charging my phone repeatedly. I'm a heavy phone user and the battery doesn't last more than 3 hours anymore if that. I'm planning on giving the phone to a friend, but don't want them to have to buy a new battery right away.

Battery replacements are cheap. I replaced my bh5x with 2 bh6x extended batteries for about $25 with the new extended battery cover. Replacing with bh5x should be even cheaper.

The bh5x is $5. Just buy it. L-ion batteries are only supposed to last a year. And bump charging will only destroy it even more. Dont ever try any of those tricks they dont work and only destroy your battery.

Hi All,
Has anyone purchased the following extended (4500 mAh) battery from MPJ?
http://www.mpjbattery.com/mpj-4500m...sung-galaxy-note-iii-3-n7200-n9000-n9005.html
Should I be concerned if this will work with our beloved phablet (Model # SM-900V) or not?
Since the website above didn't specifically spell this out, I'm a little hesitant to make the purchase, but, for the most part, I'm sure it will work with our phone. i'm also assuming it is exactly the same size as the original STOCK Samsung battery that came with our phones so I needn't worry about an extended battery cover as well.
Please advise.
Thanks in advance, folks!
Man I wouldn't buy that junk. The stock battery on this bad boy does phenomenal. The only after market battery I've used is Zerolemon. Those were some great batteries. They had one for the s4 that fit in the phone with the OE battery cover and was an extra 2 or 3 hundred mah since they didn't put nfc support in the battery. They also have that big 10,000 mah battery that turns the phone into a brick.
Thanks HarleyDroid,
'preciate the feedback.

Did you contact them? Been read a review here.
Are they reccomended? I've thought about picking one up for those days I'm playing with my phone for hours on end, but I have one thing holding me back...
When using a battery case is the phone draining the main battery and the battery case is just supplying a steady charge as its used? Or does it bypass the OEM battery while its plugged in being used till it drains? I know lithium ion batteries start losing capacity after 500 or so charges and I'm wondering if a mophie juice pack or equivalent would reduce the lifespan of the main battery?
I've been using the ZeroLemon S5 extended battery+case (8500mah) and have been using ZeroLemon for all my previous phones as well. On stock, I can last about 7 hours on a full charge. On ZeroLemon. I can go through 2 whole days of use. This however does remove the stock battery and replaces it with a MUCH bigger one which requires a custom case which they provide.
