I would like to find out how long would this pack last with eneloop battery's.
anyone have any idea?
also if it would be possible to build or find a external battery that can take 8AA battery's.
Eneloop AAs are rated 2,000 mAh?
my rough guesstimate, you'll get about 4x your normal stock battery life from the pack, after you factor in losses from heat and from converting the pack's juice into your cell battery.
maybe a little more?
whats the total mah for the pack if i put in 2000mah batteries? 10 000mAh?
RAVPower rp-pb03 external battery
I own one before, it is really charge my HTC EVO 4G with bad result. I only use the device once before it basically melted. For reference, I used Sanyo Eneloop batteries in the charger and I used the retractable cable provided with the mini usb adapter. The charger did recharge my batteries, but it got so hot when charging my phone that the outer case warped from overheating. So I ask to replacement, however, the second one I received got the same problem. Also the charging speed is very slow.
I bought another RAVPower rp-pb03 external battery on Amazon one month ago. Since now the battery works very great. I love this device! Not only does it have a very handy flashlight, but it never leaves you guessing how much power is left. It works with my phone, my wife's phone and both of our tablets (all different brands!) The size is nice and compact, and I like the robust weight. It's easy to use, and compatible with everything I've tried! This is by far the BEST accessory I've bought for my electronics by far!
I'm looking for cheap 820 spare batteries and a standalone battery charger. Understandably, this is a new phone and folks can't expect a lot of accessories to be on the market yet, but I figured we could have a thread to track the options.
For the Samsung Focus we were satisfied with generic batteries and chargers like this one:
http://www.amazon.com/Batteries-GT-...sr=8-1&keywords=samsung+focus+battery+charger
These batteries are still working OK after a year of use although they only last about 80% as long as the name brand batteries and according to our kitchen scale weigh a few grams less. The charger just cut out and fails to charge after a solid year of daily use. I opened it up planning to diagnose with the multimeter, but never got around to fixing it. Really though for $13 it wasn't bad for 2 working spare batteries. So I'm looking for something similar for the 820.
+1 for this, I am also looking for something same. Got it for my old HD2 and I bought the Lumnia 820, because of you can change the battery and extend your memory with the microSDHC Card.
We will see what time will bring us on extensions for the device. I think its to new at the moment.
Same again...looking for a spare battery for the Lumia 820
Infinidim
I will also be looking for to purchase one regardless of how difficult to remove the caseback.
Universal cell/camera Li-ion battery charger
Has anyone used one of these universal chargers that allows you to move the charging pins to fit any battery?
http://search.accessorygeeks.com/search?query=universal+battery+charger
Might be a good option.
AT&T still has the best shipped price for replacement batteries in the USA:
http://www.att.com/shop/wireless/accessories/batteries/sku6320370.html
Even if the site still shows a Samsung Focus-S battery
http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=9SIA07Y0K09316
Best price I can find from a brand I suppose I can trust. After all, it is sold on Newegg. $9.99 with free shipping
I want it because I it says it is a Li-Ion as opposed to the stock Li-Po battery. For some reason I just don't trust Li-Po batteries.
I've used an external charger with adjusting pins for about a year. Radio shack sells them. It's not the best quality but as long as you don't drop it, its all good. No complaints other then the price. But locally their not easy to find.

can i buy one with larger capacity?
The EZO power one I posted earlier is 100 mAh more at 1750mAh. I haven't used it very long, so I don't know if it lasts any longer..
http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=9SIA07Y0K09316
Also, there is a Mugen Power one for $45. It is 150mAh more at 1800mAh total.

The EZO battery is $6 shipped at Amazon 3rd party vendor Bluemall:

We got the EZO battery and the cheap universal clamp charger from amazon as well. It works, but it doesn't last nearly as long as the OEM battery and the charger takes quite a long time to fully charge the battery. For $6 it ain't bad though.

I tried the ezo battery, and it actually lasted longer than the original battery, when it worked. I may have gotten a bad one though because it just started dumping its full charge all at once, and my phone would just die after about 3 or so hours.
I have been using Zerolemon's 3000 mah batteries for more than a month and they are great! They last longer that your stock 2600 mah battery, well constructed, and are reliable. The other bonus is that they fit in your Galaxy S4 with your regular back cover! With 2x 3000 mah batteries you also get "the world's fastest wall charger for the Galaxy S4" from what they say, but that is wrong. The wall charger takes 11 hours to just charge one 3000 mah battery.
Conclusion: The 3000 mah batteries are excellent, but the wall charger will take quite some time to charge the batteries.
What's Included:
2x 3000 mah Zerolemon batteries
1x Wall charger (Works on both my Galaxy S4 and Galaxy S3 battery)

After reading their description:
Wall charger is .6 amp stock is 2 amp. So it will definitely be slower to charge.
No nfc.
What is it, 3000mAh or 200mAh more than stock? They need to do their math. It's one or the other.
I'd like to see a side by side comparison by the numbers, I have been burned by aftermarket batteries before. May consider it but the fact there is no nfc may be a deal breaker.

Where is the comparision between stock samsung 2600 and the zero lemon 3000 as far as how long it lasts???
Thanks
Honestly, this is more of an overview than a review. I'd expect some actual statistics in the video such as overall battery time with stock vs zerolemon batteries (maybe running constant video or something), but all you say is whether or not it's a good battery. Sorry to be so negative, but this is really lacking actual "review" content.
I also purchased these batteries. NFC not being included didnt matter to me whatsoever. Anywho I would say im a heavy user: twitter, facebook, youtube, fun run etc.. and i easily get 16 hours out of one charge. Make sure you do the cycle for these batteries when you get them. The best cycle i had with the 3000 mah was 1 day and 8 hrs i believe.
Here is my proof since I foresee someone asking.
I bought these, good batteries, wasnt expecting alot longer battery life just wanted some extra batteries, if you are a power user dont expect to see a whole lot longer battery life. But they do give a little extra run.
As far as the actual company goes, Yes mine are genuine batteries, they should really make it so the instructions on the batteries them selves match the instructions that are on the card. Dont know if anyone else saw that.
Example, Batteries say charge for 8 hours prior to use. Card says 12. Card says kill to 1% before charging, the batteries dont.
Also the wallcharger....definitely isnt the worlds fastest. I can actually charge my phone while playing on it continuously while charging and it charges faster then the wall charger.
But hey, 2 extra quality batteries for 20 bucks. Still worth the 20
I see all these people bought these 3000mah battery packages...
Where are the side by side comparisons to a stock samsung 2600mah battery???
thats what I want to see...
Is it worth the 20 bucks? or just keep the phone plugged into your computer or car?
I bought the two 3000mAh batteries + wall charger as well. I have to say i'm disappointed with the charging speed of the wall charger. It kind of breaks the deal for me. I wanted the spare batteries with an external charger that would allow me to keep the batteries charged without having them on my phone itself. I guess i'm going to send my feedback to ZeroLemon, and see what they will do about it.
The batteries are good compared to the original Samsung 2600mAh one. Right off the bat when i used the ZeroLemon battery, with the same phone settings (brightness, mobile networks, etc), i could notice the battery draining a little slower.
I've read many online reviews on these 3000mAh batteries, and they were right about the battery being a bit bigger than the stock battery, although i couldn't really notice the size difference when i compared them side by side. The back cover will shut properly after some pressing on the sides. Nothing to be concerned about.
All in all, i love the batteries a lot, but it's just too bad the wall charger is practically useless as i'm going to be using the Samsung charger which is way faster.

I have bought 9300mAh battery from Zerolemon for my Samsung Galaxy Note II. I think this battery is so awesome, It is longest than any brand in this class. $44 is worth getting this battery. Highly recommended.

Thats sick! my stock battery lasts about 9 hours (i use it quite a bit)
Definately going to have to purchase one of these
I just ordered one from amazon for like 8 bucks! I hope it improves the already stellar battery life I get running CM 11 4.4.2
Can anyone comment on this battery?

I live in India and I am getting a better deal on this one.
Just got the Zerolemon 3000 mah batteries and wall charger off of Amazon. They are great. I also have a Hyperion 7500mah extended battery. I can get 2.5 days easily or of the extended battery, but due daily use i wanted something closer to stick size. The ZL 3000 batteries are perfect. I get about 5 hours more out of the Zerolemon over stock. 15 hours vs 21 hours. Enough juice you get me though the day. Will save the Hyperion for times when I may tether or be away from a charger for long periods of time.
Really good deal for $20!!

Same question here!
Hi all, so I've got an S4 and the battery just doesn't do it for me as I'm quite a power user. So I've been looking into various methods of keeping my phone's battery topped up, especially on the go, I've had a look at portable chargers, external battery cases (as I had one on my S3 and it worked great, for about a week and then gave up) and extended batteries.
Now what I'm looking for is ideally something that isn't too bulky, has decent quality and provides a good solid charge to my phone. I also have a bunch of other phones that I want to keep charged, so an external battery case or extended batteries are looking a little weak here as a portable charger would do the trick for all of them, but then again they often seem to be quite bulky.
So my question to you is what would you advice? Ideally I'd like a solution that fits in the pocket and still keeps my phone topped, what would you recommend and have you bought something to satisfy this need yourself? I'm not really looking into extended batteries that add a whole lot of bulk, I'm hearing good things about Anker batteries and these 3,000mAh Zerolemon standard size batteries, but there seem to be so many variations of portable chargers I'm not quite sure what to do. Any help would be greatly appreciated!

I have the Zerolemon battery, it works well, but really, I couldn't tell much of a difference in battery life, and keep in mind, NFC is not included if you go with the Zerolemon.
Go to amazon and do a search for "android portable battery charger" there are a lot of options from small lipstick sized charges to big bulky ones, read the reviews and pick one that works best for you. Personally I am usually close to a charger so I have not found the need to get one yet, but I can see how it would be necessary for those that are frequently away from a wall outlet or car for extended periods. I might pick one up before my camping/float trip coming up this summer. If I did, it would probably be this one. http://www.amazon.com/KMAX-806-Flas...8-5&keywords=android+portable+battery+charger
I have an old external charger that came with a 3 panel solar folder. I used it a few times when camping and I could charge it all day and then use it to charge the phone twice. That was with an older 1900mah batter in the phone
Just a quick update, I eventually decided to settle with this EasyAcc iChoc 5,000mAh portable charger. I've had it for a few days now and it works fantastic, the build quality feels nice in the hand and the dimensions are the same as my S4 (and just as slim mind) it comes with two outputs, a 1A and a 2.1A one (using your own microUSB cable) and the 1A output has a built in microUSB cable. Very pleased with the purchase, it was around £17 on Amazon Prime:
http://www.amazon.co.uk/EasyAcc®-iC...&qid=1397737540&sr=8-1&keywords=ichoc+easyacc
Bear in mind I don't think the actual capacity is anywhere near 5,000 mAh however.
Charges S4 about 1.3 times.... So it's about a 3000mAh

Are you referring to the EasyAcc portable battery that I posted?
While I think you have made your choice .... I have used the callpod dou charger.... I had 10 of them until I started giving them away cause they were of no use with the phone I had before I got my S4. I have (5) Isound 16,000's 16,000 mah. That will keep my S4 or my wife's Iphone 5 up for about a day of intermittent use.... she can kill one in about 8hrs if she is on her phone and charging her Ipad at the same time. I also have (3) of the power bank 33,000s . 33,000 mah. I am not sure that I have ever killed this battery with my S4 alone. My wife can kill it with her iphone in 2-3 evenings of fairly constant use.... talking on the phone and playing games and I think charging both her iphone and ipad... (flipping back and forth between the 2. This battery will also charge most laptops. Her Macbook will get one full charge out of it.... if the computer is not on. With the computer on it last about 30-40 mins. My Htc Flyer has been on a 33,000 all week with off and on use and is still half full. Finally , I have a hyperjuice 150wh and a 222wh. The wife has been charging her iphone on the 150 and her ipad on the 222 all week and they are still around half full.
I finally got myself the Anker 5200 mAh battery. Does anyone know an app that shows the correct battery capacity? I got the sneaking suspicion that it isn't detected properly...
Hey,
I bought these batteries for my Galaxy S3:
http://www.ebay.ca/itm/221508526410?ssPageName=STRK:MEWNX:IT&_trksid=p3984.m1497.l2649
I charged one of the two batteries with the provided wall charger. The first battery is bulging and displayed only 90% charge.
I charged the second one with a wall charge I bought from ebay that I used to charge random ebay 10$ batteries (they served me well). The second battery is performing very well, 2h of use with only 10% discharge and didn't bulge.
I filled a paypal claim but I wonder if I should keep using the battery. I suspect the provided charger is not good but I wonder if it could cause the issue. I am really tempted to try with another battery but I will first wait to see what happen with my claim. I thought Anker would be more reliable than those chinese batteries (that are certainly not 2100mah like claimed).
Anyway, have you experienced some thing similar? I am planning to keep my S3 for a good year before I grab the S6 so I was looking to get extra battery life-time. At the moment I had to change a battery every day and it is getting annoying.
Batteries/Chargers that are non-OEM
Hey Buddy,
I had the same issue with my Nokia N series phone battery a long time ago. I had bought a non-OEM battery from ebay compatible with the phone handset and landed in trouble after using a third-party charger. I had to finally search online for a OEM (Nokia branded) battery and used to charge it only when inside my phone using the phone OEM (Nokia branded) charger. I used that without any issues for quite some time (around 6 months).
I'm no expert but I figure the mAh rating is very important while choosing the battery, we know the higher is better in terms of holding charge but it is not in case of an internal battery because the OEM batteries are made to charge using the phone's internal circuits (that explains why some batteries bulge and even explode when using a non-OEM battery/charger combination).
To cut the long story short I suggest you to look for a refund from your seller, the next step would be to search for a battery which is OEM (which is what I did) see the pic that's an OEM battery i presume.
There are various issues with third-party batteries all over the internet (google it) but the important one is that they tend to get heated up while charging and when used inside the phone. As a fellow Androider I would suggest you to stick onto OEM batteries and chargers (best you buy one in ebay which has a SAMSUNG OEM logo with a S/N)
Hope this helps you out bro, as I said I'm no expert but just sharing my own experience and information I gathered.
Peace,
Syed
