I have been using the Zerolemon 7500 mah battery for about 2 weeks and I am blown away about how well this battery preforms. It has lasted me 1 day and 21 hours with still 20% of battery left. This battery comes with NFC, TPU case, and great customer service. Overall, I love this extended battery! :laugh::good:
Here's my video review:
What was your screen on time and all that jazz?
As I've said in the past.
There are only really 2 options I think people should consider.
1) Stock with swap outs with Samsung charger and battery.
2) Zerolemon 7500 mah battery.
I've been very happy with my ZL 7500 MAH battery. Don't have any glaring issues that stick out right now that I have to mention. The only drawback *MIGHT* be the weight, but I don't find a problem with it.

There are cut outs on the bottom, so the sound is forced out of the bottom of the phone, I prefer it more than the sound coming out the back.

So there is actually a space between the battery and the speaker which allows for the air to reverberate.
Capacity wise...wow, but I would rather carry an external charging pack than destroy the aesthetics of the phone. Not for me but if you travel regularly, it will be perfect.

The bigger issue with battery exchange is the type of protection that you're looking for in your case.
If you have a case like a defender or any other rather case that is rather time consuming to put on and remove, then battery exchange is not exactly ideal solution.
Also having another free floating item in your pockets is rather not ideal either.
Most people would rather not have to carry 2 items when they can carry 1.
Granted for some aesthetics trumps function, so to each their own.
Zerolemon 7500mah Battery Review

I've been using this battery for a while now it's flawless!
The single downside (apart from the obvious weight and size that people seem to argue from the get go)
the sound isn't as loud as when using the stock battery, however the space between the bottom of the battery and the handset itself has enough room to fold a piece of card to ensure the speaker is kept clear and thus the sound reaches the bottom ports in the case as desired, this may not sound pretty or a particularly advanced method, but it works and you can't see this method with the case on anyway.
Give it a try I assure you, you will notice the difference!
As for the only charge once a month on the instructions... I contacted ZeroLemon...
To allow the battery to fully drain to 0% once a month, the other times charge from 2%
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
I always charge around 2-5% and allow it to die fully once a month.
The other thing you can do when using this, assuming you're rooted...
Two apps; Android Tuner & BatteryCalibration
Android tuner > Battery Manager > Calibration > Manage > Edit Current Battery > Name: ZeroLemon Capacity: 7500
BatteryCalibration will tell you exactly what to do. However, Android tuner has been the more accurate of the two methods.
* In both methods ensure battery is full (100%) before doing this.
Hope this helps.
Make sure not drop your phone with this battery, if is so heavy, when my phone dropped to the floor, it likes a rock, cracked the phone screen to pieces.

Depends on which battery you bought; I'm guessing it was an aftermarket one - there are lots of 'em flying around only some of them are better than the stock one.
Don't just believe the mah they state on the battery.
i'd check this thread, a lot of good stuff written on buying high mAH batteries of places like ebay.
Thank you for this post
There are some people who have had unpleasant surprises when changing battery
I was wondering about batteries made in China.
I will focus on a battery where there will be a good return, like your 1800 mah stock ;-)

I have a chinese battery (otb original) and, when it's some hours power the phone with that battery, is like if I'm making long press on home key, and constantly jump the window with last open applications. As if it were a charged capacitor...
Many of the batteries you can find on ebay etc are fake. The mAH is just a sticker and easily printed
A fairly good/simple way to test is to weigh the batteries. If the new battery is lighter, it almost definitely is fake.
Another way is to peel off the sticker. Usually the manufacturer will print the actual capacity on the aluminium thing under the sticker (I peeled off the sticker of a 2.99 battery that was '1500' mAH - said it was 1000 underneath).
Is this too good to be real? I think they have less capacity. Anyone bought 1800mAh batteries from ebay that really are 1.8Ah? It would be nice if the saler ship worldwide.
I am looking to buy an extra battery, the current one holds about 8-12h of (heavy?) usage, Wi-Fi always ON, 3G/2G depending on the signal, most of the time full brightness, 20min-2h games or movies, 20min browsing the web and a few calls, at most 20min and frequently looking at the clock.

I bought Muggen 3200 battery and have very good feedback for last 12 months
It is bigger, more heavy and shipped with special back case
but automy is perfect with it !
From what i've read mugen are very credible for extended batteries, as are momax. Momax make a 1800mAH (to my best memory) which is the same size as the normal, or the 2700mAH battery which is a little thicker, but apparently gives a very good battery life
I`m using PolarCell 1800mAh and I`m very happy with staying power.
If S3 gets it for 34$, i hope S4 gets it too soon.
Very useful for long trips.

Surely easier just to carry a spare battery in your wallet?
Unless of course you're planning a month long trip in the jungle.
not to mention if a battery that big were to explode! you might be left with a stump of a leg!
I say that, but assuming it is a quality battery, a case that big might be nice for some people. I prefer slim, and carry an extra battery in my car or desk.
I use this one my S3 and it's amazing, best extended battery out there, I've gotten 3 day runs out of it.
And you guys are overreacting ahaha, it really isn't that big and it really adds some much needed weight to the phone and looks/feels much better then the alternative options out there obviously other then carrying around a spare battery and switching but that's a hassle keeping both charged.
A lot of the kernel devs over on the sprint s3 use it as well to try and get the best battery life possible with their constant kernel tweak updates - we call it squeezing 7000 lemons :thumbup:

I like that the cover actually fits over the entire phone instead of making it look pregnant. I still do have concerns about how large it will make this phone though.

Hello there
I recently wrote a review on ZeroLemon Galaxy S3 battery and now have one for Galaxy S4. Been upgraded to the S4 lately (gf gets my S3) and found the battery being a bit pale in comparison to the S3 (software issue?). With my past positive experience using the ZL S3 7000mAh battery, I want to give this one a try too.
7500mAh Black:
http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00CXZI3DQ
7500mAh White:
http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00CXZI4WQ
DIMENSION
ZeroLemon with included TPU case:
Length: 14cm
Width: 7.1cm
Thickness: 1.6cm
This is nearly identical to the ZL Galaxy S3 battery in terms of dimension. Camera and LED portion of the case is neatly flushed out and images are clear. The case wraps around the phone like a nice glove. Hopefully the rugged version comes out soon as I hear they are developing one
I geet some messages about the speaker. Hope this clarifies
- The speaker gets cover by the battery at the back BUT there is approximately 0.02mm gap between the battery and the speaker which allows the sound to travel to the bottom of the phone case (see case picture below).
In fact, this makes the phone LOUDER when the phone back is faced down compare to the original back cover. ZeroLemon somehow able to engineer the battery + case to make it sound louder which is very impressive. I thought the S4 speaker design is pretty stupid espeically when you try to watch a movie and sound is shooting backwards away from the phone. This design shoots the sound to the side of the phone like how iPhone does it so you won't be muffling the sound by your hands (which happens with original case) when you have your phone in horizontal mode
THICKNESS
This has the exact same thickness as the galaxy s3. If you are familar and use to the ZL S3 battery like myself, you will find this just as well
WEIGHT
Since this is a bigger battery, the weight increases around 40g on the phone. In fact this phone is lighter than the Galaxy S3 suprisingly even with the larger capacity battery inside. Probably because the S4 is lighter than S3 in general
PEFORMANCE
If you are spoiled by ZL Galaxy S3 performance, then you definitely need to pick this battery up too for this is the biggest battery you can get so far. Gets me through 2 and a half day easily. This is an initial review so I will give more update later on continued performance. NFC also works well and reads my old GS3 phone.
No signal loss with this battery installed. Original cover gives me Signal = -89dBm, This extended battery gives me Signal = -88dBm. I'm using AT&T 4G network. For Wifi I used the wifi analyzer and the graph still looks the same with both battery. GPS works too and locate my location accurately. I haven't taken the phone out for trip yet. This weekend to Yosemite so it will be a testing ground for my GPS. IR works well too. The cutout for the IR receiver is correctly position in the case.
UPDATE July 3: Epic is the only word to describe this. After the Galaxy S3, I didn't think ZL can top it off but they did. This thing can run 17 hours screentime on auto brightness.
Done a road trip and with GPS at lowest brightness, 20 hours! Yes, 20 hours run. This battery is unstoppable!
Some people asking me about the case, the case is just as good as the Galaxy S3 version. At least you don't have to go out and buy an extra TPU case unlike the hard plastic cover extended battery
NFC
NFC works well. I tested this with my gf's S3 with original battery and also the ZL S3 extended battery. There's no problem whatsoever.
It's around 39 bucks for this zerolemon battery right now and it's the same price as their Galaxy S3 battery. That's an awesome deal!
This weekend i'm going on a trip so I can test this beast out and see if it's a weekend warrior like the Galaxy S3 version along with the GPS accuracy.
Next week I will take this out for a CBA battery analyzer test.

Grills for sound coming out of back speaker
Gap between battery and speaker to allow sound travel to back
Battery without case
CONCLUSION:
39 dollars is totally worth it for this battery. This thing just keeps going and going. I also have the 5200mAh extended battery from other manufacturers but I'm less incline to use it because it doesn't have soft plastic protection around the case. I dont' want to fork another 6 bucks for a tpu case on those extended battery too. This really gives the bang for the bucks

This is rather pointless. Seems to me like you're asking for the sake of asking without thinking about it properly.
Wireless charging already charges at a slower rate. This battery is HUGE. This means that battery charging rate using a wireless charger could be potentially 9 times slower. Might take half a day to charge it tirelessly at the very least.
Even though I have ordered this I have to admit I am not as excited as I was before now that I hear about the speaker. I know the Op says the speaker is louder than it was before when it was faced down, but what about when it is not faced down? I never have my phone with the speaker sitting on the table. I am fearing this will muffle the sound greatly. I hope I am wrong.

The question was whether the wireless receiver insert will still be compatible or not, with the extended battery.
Looking at the picture again I guess it will not, since the battery seems to block the connector. Just my guess.
As for your helpful comment, I guess u know that some wireless chargers deliver 1A output, which is not low by any mean. At least not 9 times lower than wired.
Wireless charging is less power efficient, but doesn't mean it can't deliver high output. It just mean it need higher input, and waste certain % of energy.

^^ Thanks. I'm going to give that a try too. Youtube link. This NFC antenna is combined with a Qi receiver (can't go wrong buying something from a seller named Cutie Honey. LOL)
Opteka 3000 is cheaper on Amazon with free Prime shipping.
The RAVPower is conservatively rated at 2800 but gets good rating.
This AceSoft battery makes a bold claim of 3380 mAh with NFC at stock size, but that's too good to be true for me, though the seller (SodaPop) has a good 4.9 rating.
Guys.

Can't read anything on that page. It's all German to me.......
Anyway I haven't seen any aftermarket battery that actually does the NFC.
If this one does, I'd be shocked. The Opteka claims it does but my phone won't do NFC.
Anyway, that dual charging and NFC sticker looks cool.
You don't have to worry about either.
I might just spend the $10.

ANY?! The Anker does NFC beautifully.
Okay. I haven't tried them all.
But is the Anker 3000mAh??

The whole premise here is silly. If there were some easily sourceable way to get more than 2600mah from that size without dropping NFC, Samsung would have put it in themselves.
hello
im using the zerolemon 3000 mah battery and I havn't noticed anything different then the stock battery, I only charged it for 8 hours first time as the instructions said and now on my 2nd charge? Is it suppose to get better with time????? screen brightness is all the way down.

COST????
There are tradeoffs. They may not have wanted to add the few pennies cost.

It took mine about five or six cycles before it started getting better than stock. I think mine started off about 2700 or so. Not I'm getting about 3100 out of it.

It's not about physics. It's about the phones ability to recognize the cutoff voltage of the battery, no it doesn't gain actual capacity(actually, per every cycle it loses capacity). It just gives the phones software a frame of reference for when to shut down at a critical point. Early in the batteries life the phone has to learn the limits of thay battery. That's why our phones store battery stats. I should have worded my response better, but that's not ignoring the physics. The reason that Zerolemons have a higher capacity is strictly because they are larger, albeit slightly, than the stock batteries. They don't use special cells that have more internal energy available to them. This is a slight illustration of what I am talking about. I didn't take any screen shots when it was registering less than 3k, but after every cycle it would increase the frame of reference that the phone is using.

It took a few cycles before the Opteka battery behaved better than stock. Now waiting for the NFL antennae. But 3000mah is pretty cool.

Took a shot and ordered one as well. The reviews seem positive so it also has a 2-year warranty. It doesn't look as big as the zerolemon either. Like the 2-layer case too. We'll see.

Sent from my LG-H900 using XDA-Developers mobile app
This as far as i know is the ONLY Extended that i would use if i had the V10 (I have a G4) Look at my Thread HERE for some ideas of what you'd may find acceptable
Edit: or THIS 3800mah Slim Battery
So...
I got this yesterday. Prime delivered it next day. Pretty sweet if you ask me. It's heavy. Don't get me wrong, even before I put it on the device all by itself, it was heavy. Put it on yesterday. Was already charged to 50% out-of-the-box. Charged all night.
So far this is my experience. Now, I know that batteries need to be conditioned so, this is only my first day's experience. I have a 2-hour commute to/from work using public transportation (yeah, I know), I spend it heavily using my device. At full-brightness, reading emails, surfing, texting, reading books, no games. Not much into games. On the regular battery I'm down to about 54% by the time I get from point a to point b. Today, my battery was about 75%. So, unsubstantiated and unscientific I had 20% more battery power than before.
Battery was recognized as a "battery" both internal settings saw it fine and batterybotpro had no issue seeing it as a battery.
Upside so far, seems to give more time on the device without charging.
Nice looking case ( inner and outer)
Downsides...
Bulkier than standard battery
Heavier than standard device
Device now has some junk In the trunk as it sticks out
Fingerprint scanner is hot and miss. Sometimes it works, other times I have to make sure I'm making contact with some part of the housing
Will not work in any cradle I have. The battery makes it too thick to fit into a cradle
It's not that expensive. I'll update this in a week and as I can going forward to see if this is steady in giving me an extra boost.
[[UPDATED REVIEW AFTER ABOUT ONE MONTH]]
The battery lasts barely 3 hours. It starts to drain the MINUTE I take it off charger. It's really atrocious. I'm going to see about returning the thing as soon as possible. It shouldn't have such atrocious performance after such a short time. Truly bad.

It'll take at least 5 charge/discharges to get the full capacity of whatever battery you have. Of course there's going to be some thickness to it. I have a slim 4500mah Battery for my G4 and it works surprisingly well

I've had the battery for a couple of days now and it has been great 5 stars. I would say good double battery life and case is great too. Can just feel which side of phone is front and back and top and bottom in my pocket :good:

Ok keep me posted. Is the your first time using it? Remember, these take at least 3-5 charge\discharges to get it's capacity but just so you know the LG G4 Will never learn the battery capacity cause I think there's a chip that's locked at 3000mah
