I have the seidio 3500 mah and love, especially after I found out how to manage it properly. Couple tricks with these larger batteries are as follows. This should work with all larger batteries.
1. When the charging light turns green, the battery is only at 1500. Keep on charge for about 3 hours longer or more to get full charges.
2. Wipe battery stats. Recovery, advanced, wipe battery stats. When you hit go, screen will go black for about 30 seconds. It's o.k. it's doing the wipe.
3.Condition the battery. Charge all the way, let run down completely till phone dies. Then charge all the way again. Do this bout 3 times. Should condition about 0nce a month to prolong battery life.
Follow these steps and you will love your big battery. I love mine. My Seidio runs bout a day and a half and I am constantly doing stuff with the phone. ENJOY!!!!
Ok are you using juice defender for it or any application that save battery life

Nope, I only use task killers that can auto kill when screen turns off. Also, Itry to leave GPS turned off unless I need to turn it on. I just do as I posted origanally and it works great. I do keep my origal batt and back door available so when the batt gets low I can just run it completely dead. Oh yeah, I also have a spare batt charger the just charges the batt by itself.

Don't do it!!!! Task killers are horrible for any phones running FroYo.
How come? It has never seemed to effect it.

Some apps hang so it helps to use a task killer, I exclude the apps that usually start in their own. I also noticed after I close everything after a reboot, the phone runs much smoother with just the necessary apps running.

That makes no sense. When the light is green, the battery is at 4.15-4.2 V, and it's no longer charged at this point.
Task killer should only be used if an app hangs, not set to automatic kill, android does this on it's own. GPS only turns on when an app needs it so turning it off does nothing. I get a full day and a half on a standard battery with Wifi on, GPS on and juice defender set to every 15 minutes which I'm now turning off due to facebook app and push notifications.

So you can leave GPS on and its not killing the bat unless your running a gps intensive app? I had no idea....

The voltage isn't the the same as amps. When the batt is at 1500 it still has the proper voltage to run the phone but the cells are not full. The EVO is set to turn the light green when the batt is at 1500. I found this to be true cause when I first got the batt I would charge till it turned green then off I went. I wasn't getting any better batt life until I found info on how to properly charge these batts. Now I get bout a day and a half.
Squick is right. Let it charge for another few hours after it goes green for the extended battery from Seidio. If you unplug it right after it hits 100, it'll drop to 75 pretty quick. So let it keep charging.

The charging circuit has no way of the determining the charge capacity. The only property that can be measured is the voltage, and consequently the rate at which voltage is changing and the current during charging.
If the charging circuit relied on capacity, you'd never be able to charge past 1500mah.
The basic process is to charge at constant current until each cell reaches 4.2 V; the charger must then gradually reduce the charge current while holding the cell voltage at 4.2 V until the charge current has dropped to a small percentage of the initial charge rate, at which point the battery is considered 100% charged. Some manufacturers specify 2%, others 3%, but other values are also possible.

After all that I have read and personally tested, the battery is not fully charged when the light turns green. I have taken the phone off charge once the light turned green and the battery lasted no longer than a 1500. I found numerous threads that stated that the evo goes green once the battery reaches the 1500 point and that you need to charge well past the green full light. Once I started letting it charge at least 3 hours over, I get awesome battery life. If there is another explaination for this I would love to know!

Try this:
1) Charge the phone till the light goes green.
2) Power off the phone completely (shut down).
3) Charge more with the phone being off until the light goes green again.
I'm guessing the extended battery like 3500mAh should be nearly fully charged at this point, and it shouldn't take more than 30-45 minutes for the second charge, as opposed to 3 hours.
The reason for this behavior, and I'm guesstimating here, is that HTC optimizes charging in the kernel to never exceed a certain limit, which is very close to 90-95% charge. A double capacity battery, having a different charging rate and the limit current, should be at 80-90% - double the difference - when charged with the phone on. Eliminating this optimization from HTC by charging with the phone off should, in principle, allow faster charging to nearly 100%.

Nonsense! The Evo uses a LiPo battery and there is no beneficial reason whatsoever to running the battery down. In fact, running the battery down unnecessarily will reduce the cycle life and the calendar life. In the simplest of terms, the LiPo cell chemistry is only capable of so many charge-discharge cycles before it loses significant ability to store energy and unnecessary cycles just use 'em up unnecessarily.
In fact, a bunch of partial charge-discharge cycles are a lot easier on LiPo cells than a few full charge-discharge cycles. In other words, your battery will remain healthy a lot longer if you charge it whenever you can instead of waiting until you have to all the time.

Agreed. The only reason to discharge the battery completely might be to reset the battery calibration data and to recalibrate. But I really don't know if that even works.
Just saw the posts. I did not know that, but the rest still seems to work. If I charge the vary well past the green light, I get almost 2 days of use out of it.

I need testers for my battery fix that in theory, should charge all batteries (stock and extended) to maximum capacity. So far I tested it with a stock battery and it only lost 4% in an hour after being on the charger for 2 hours. Im testing my extended battery right now(it's only 1800mah).
here's the thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=876590
Don't be stupid and fall for this trick. It's only prank in case noobs don't know. A day and a half is normal for 3500MAH battery with full use ( abuse the hell out of it ).
I think nabbed has got it, your battery loops once it gets to the max the battery can hold. Its megahertz, not amps or volts.. Your phone tries maintaining 100% by letting itself lose power and have to charge back up. Like I said, its a loop pattern.
i am in a great dilemma concerning this now. So basically, when my battery on my nexus 10 reach about 12% i plug it in the ac and within 6 hours its completely filled. Last night i plugged it in same thing, but instead of being completely charged, it was at only 48%. is my nexus 10 battery failing or something? So maybe this could have been the source of the problem, i had a 720p video running on mx player in the background.
Basically, what is the normal amount of charging hours and what is the battery life when fully charged?
Thanks so much
Edit: so now I tried again with everything off off this time and still the same problem, it charged from 12% to 33% only within 4 hours

Normally my Nexus 10 charges within a couple hours using the wall outlet, and when fully charged the battery life is usually around 9 hours. Also keep in mind that having video running in the background while it's charging will cause the tablet to charge at a much slower rate because the system is in use draining power while it's trying to charge. The best way to let it charge is to plug it into the ac adapter and just leave it to charge where the system is off but the device is showing the charging screen.

OP, you do know that powering the Nexus 10's panel (both the actual pixels and the GPU resources to draw whatever content you're using on such a high-res display) is basically the single biggest draw on the system, right? Your CPU can at least throttle down on idle, but if you're using your device the screen is going to be chewing through power like no one's business. If it's on, you can certainly expect a significant charging impact.

What time do you usually go to bed and then take it off the charger the next morning? I only ask to get an idea of how long it's left charging. Granted I should say by a couple I mean 3-5 hours not the literal definition of a couple.
Sent from my SCH-I535 using xda premium
It takes about 5 hours from 20% to 100%. From personal experience and from all reviews.
Mine takes from 5 to 6h... Maybe you should reboot your tablet and then plug it in the charger, remember to use the stock wall charger, as it's recommended .

It pains me to say that the power house device this N10 is, I think the charging issues might be a deal breaker for me and I will have to return it to walmart before my 15 days of ownership. I am using the device on max brightness, I know I know, but its new so I want to see what it looks like at highest setting for a bit. But really, my battery is draining while it is plugged into the charger it came with. Why would I keep a device I HAVE TO baby while charging to keep = or positive charging numbers. ANy advice before I return and look at something else? THanks guys.

I know you mentioned you want to use the maximum brightness and I certainly respect that but the colors and screen is still very vivid in my own opinion at automatic brightness or 60-70 brightness which will help your battery life. Another suggestion would be to make sure you have GPS, Bluetooth, etc. only turned on when you need them along with apps that drain battery such as Facebook and Twitter notification polling intervals. My final suggestion would be when you go to charge the tablet make sure nothing battery intensive such as video players, or games are running in the background just let the tablet charge without interruption.

OK thank you for the response. I will usually keep it on auto although I have had a set brightness takes less battery power than auto. Also does anyone know if you can trickle charge this tablet or should I say is that OK or should I just plug in full cycle charge then deplete to 15%. Worries me since this doesn't seem to be like a phone and just easy battery swap. Don't want to burn my battery too fast. Thx guys

I have trickle charged my Nexus 10 before without any noticeable effect on the battery life, but as always if you want to maximize battery life charge the device to 100% and then after it is done charging go from there.
I think samsung didn't make this clear at all. And at the moment, I really don't have sure what is the best thing to do. Let this always turned on may let the battery have a decrease of capacity on a period of time?

No. Remember, the battery has a "safe" range of voltage. Of course I am assuming that even within the safe range it won't degrade any faster.
Also remember, you can just replace the battery!

I also think this way. But when we let the phone charging overnight, during our sleep time. The fast charging is not necessary. In this scenario, did you still leave this mode on?

I leave Fast Charging OFF because I only charge my phone while I'm asleep.
I think fast charging is harder on the battery than standard charging but as always, and unlike other phones, we can easily replace the battery in seconds.

Same here, I leave it Off most of the time as I charge while I sleep, and only use it when I need a quick boost if the day is going to be much longer than expected, e.g. if I'm going out after work and not sure if I'll go back to my own place after that.

It must be the placebo effect, I am not seeing any diff.
It's a great feature, should just use it and worry about battery life when the time comes. Like others already said, the battery can easily be replaced.
OBVIOUSLY the phone is designed for fast charging at night while we sleep or would you rather believe Qualcomm and Samsung didn't think of that and we now all have a ticking time battery bomb ready to go off at any moment at night....
Oh the horror....
So does this feature make battery life worse?
I dont charge mine over night, but if i did, I would turn off fast charging, or use one of my lower powered chargers. The fast charging is excellent duringbthe day, but using it while you sleep serves no purpose

They take the same time to completely charge your device. Quick charge will charge your phone at full speed for about 15mins and then gradually decrease the charging speed so as to conserve battery life. It should not be a problem to quick charge your phone overnight because of this feature.

Also it would not be a problem because it doesnt keep feeding into your battery when your battery is full. There ARE safetymeasures, its ultimately irrelevant. I leave it on fastcharging all the time, because theres no reason to turn it off.
Leave it on. It's one of the best feature. Fast charging. Luv it.
Having used multiple batteries, and both fast charging on and off with several different chargers, I can say that it has no effect on SOT. This isn't a thought, I record battery use with and compare the data.

Surely there has to be SOME downside, if they allow you to disable it.

Seems like a highly scientific test there
Ever since I first got my Note 4, I've loved two things about it more than almost everything else: battery life and charging speed.
Two nights ago, I was bored and - I know, it's a strange thing to do when bored - decided to see how fast fast charging was compared to normal charging. It took my phone about 123 minutes to fully charge from 0 to 100% with fast charging disabled.
But that's not what I care about. What I care about is the fact that, before I disabled fast charging and fully charged my phone from 0, I would typically have about 10% left after a twelve hour cycle that included around 5 hours of screen-on time.
After my slower charge, I found that, after about 11 hours, I'd had my screen on for 4.5 hours, and my battery was still sitting at 55%. This improvement absolutely astounded me, and I want to encourage all of you to see how your mileage varies (or perhaps doesn't) by disabling fast charging.
I'd like to add that I've always been a huge proponent of fast charging, and I've always dismissed the common notion that it's bad for a phone's battery. But I can't ignore my own results.
EDIT: I should add that this was without power-saving mode or airplane mode enabled at any point in time. And the screen brightness was set to the same value I use generally, and not the minimum I'd use in total darkness.
I haven't used fast charge except for the first few days I had the phone. I just never needed my phone charged fast.
I can get about 6.5 hours of screen on time with around 20% battery left on power saving mode.

I'd had fast charge enabled until two days ago because I never saw anything but advantages to it. I also should add that I don't use power saving features until I'm down to at least down to 15%. Glad to hear you're getting good performance
I only use fast charging. If I do a heavy use day, I get about 5-5.5 hours of SOT and run out. Not sure how long it lasts.
On average, I charge my phone every third day and get 4-4.5 SOT.
I think my battery life is pretty exceptional. I don't leave the phone on the charger overnight, it gets unplugged immediately and I usually put it on the charger around 15 percent.
Yes, I"m not a heavy user usually. Depends on my work load, sometimes it only lasts two days.
I remember hearing this back in the day. Users reported that trickle charging (ie. Usb to computer) would yield better battery life.
I was curious if this would be the case when I first heard about the fast charging when the note 4 was released, but I haven't tested it yet.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/xperia-z/help/trickle-charging-improve-battery-life-t2332947
I use a spare oem battery/cradle charger. Which does not have fast charging, so the battery would technically be charged slower than through the phone with fast charging. I haven't noticed any difference in battery life between the two.
Then again, my phone usage changes by the time I swap batteries.
Sent from my Note 4.
I guess I'm different than most. It's nothing for me to kill a battery in a work day. When I'm 50% +/- I'll plug in because I never know when I'll need a full charge or where I will be an need it. When going out of town I typically will carry at least one of my two backup battery packs.
I will keep power saving mode on and my screen at full brightness. No WiFi enabled but I do use BT from time to time.
5.5 to 6 hours usage sounds about right for me. 24-48 hours on one charge and I say someone isn't using their phone enough.... LoL
Im running Pac Rom 5.1.1 on Note 4 DE and the charger definitely makes a difference.
A "normal" charger (pretty much anything under 2.1A) will charge much slower than a 2.1A charger.

You guy need to repeat this charging business in a scientific test manner.
For example.
1) Discharge to 50%-80% (choose a level.)
2) Slow charge to 100%.
3) Run a loop of a video at some preset brightness, not auto, until the battery is at 50%-80% again. Note the time.
4) Fast charge to 100%.
5) Repeat 3 in the exact same way.
Then compare the times of video playback for the two charging techniques.
My guess is that if you were to do it right, you would get identical results.

Owners of electric rc cars/planes often charge lipo batteries to tailor their output for various track conditions. Faster higher voltage charges are more punchy and have increased output but suffer shorter run times. Slower lower voltage = milder output and longer run times.

Slower or faster discharge in an electrical motor depends on how much and how fast the motor can consume energy and how quickly a battery can dispense it - this relates directly to the performance of the motor like horsepower and torque. The charge used up is still the same. The amount of electricity stored depends only on the chemical composition of the battery, not on how you charge it. So faster or slower discharge still uses up the same amount of electricity - the energy stored/dispensed remains the same.
On the other hand, in a very demanding situation like RC, a faster charge can afford a faster peak discharge rate of battery. This is due to how the chemicals in LiPo batteries undergo transformations between homogeneous and heterogeneous states depending on the rate of charge. The faster the charge, the faster the maximum rate of discharge. A common misconception is that a slower rate of charge will amount to more charge stored. That is generally incorrect. Slower charging can only benefit the useful lifetime of the battery.
A display or a cpu of a smartphone are unlike an electrical motor in that they consume the same nominal amount of energy for a given task and at a very low rate. The rate of energy consumption for a smartphone is far lower than the possible rate of discharge of the battery is has.
For example, you can charge (and discharge) a battery in smartphone like S6 in about 80 minutes (and that is still FAR slower than you can possibly charge/discharge such a battery.) But the battery will last many many hours even under the heaviest load. So slower charging is pointless for smartphones.
Hiya guys. Long time lurker but gonna pop that cherry today.
Was curious as to how many of you leave this phone fast charging overnight? I know its a smart charger and all that good stuff.
For an hour of charge i dont mind staying up for it since it prevents any damage that may happen. But i mainly do it to baby the battery.
i used the wireless one so it trickle charges and keeps battery in good condition. Fast charging will degrade it faster,

Do you have any proof to back this up?
I've had the Note 4 since January and have been fast charging it over night every day since then and I haven't had any issues whatsoever still running with excellent battery life. I'm now using the S6 Edge+ and wouldn't think it would be a problem. The power cuts out once the battery reaches max so it shouldn't try and fast charge a full battery.

It's a well known fact that fast charging is bad for battery condition. The electrodes degrade and corrode and the higher amps required for fast charging will contribute to the issue. I fast charge my note 3 and I'm on my 3rd battery now and this is starting to show decreased life.

Me too. My Note 4 was always on the fast charger and no obvious signs of deterioration. I am pretty sure Samsung has considered any issues, especially in a phone with a fixed battery, as they put Fast Charging very high on their list of selling point features.

I use my fast charger over night and have noticed when it reaches 100% the lightening icon that shows on the battery icon when charging goes away. So there must be some sort of electronic protection built into the phone

Yeah. I still have the voice in the back of my head making me not let it charge overnight. The smart charger is nice to know it stops it from charging the battery, but still leaving the chance of having it fail in the middle of the night while its still connected to your phone is worrying to me. Even more that it pumps more voltage like a monster then any other wall charger i have.
