In a few weeks after Galaxy S5 launched I would like to get one. Have been using Nexus S for years but the screen, speed, and performance of GS5 are drawing me. Do you think S5 also need some extra batteries to carry in pocket or bag? The only slim extended I’ve used from mpj giving me 1-2 hours more.
I would like to ask those who has used bulky extended batteries, is it easy to adapt to the added weight? Thank you for your kindly reply
i'm sure in about a month or less their be some extended battery out for the S5 I'm hoping Zero Lemon make one i've loved the gs4 7500mAh one last little over 2days :]
Got the OEM Extended Battery for my S3 last year and never looked back. Always said no to them as I didn't want more bulk but the S3 was so thin anyway that when I got it, it was completely fine. Now I NEED one for this phone but not some outrageous 7000 Mah one that doesn't have a back cover with the water seal on it.
Here's to hoping Samsung gets out the OEM one faster then a couple months.
I'm keeping an eye on ZeroLemon's FB page for updates.

Is there anyone tried extended battery from Batterybay???
I found on google that they have extended battery for Samsung Galaxy S4
http://www.batterybay.net/Battery-for-Samsung-Galaxy-S4-Galaxy-S4-LTE-p/samsung-cs-smi950wl.htm
:victory::victory::victory:
If anyone tried that, can you write some report on it? How is its performance???
I am thinking of buying one but need some user experience to make the decision.
Thanks.
I just bought a 5200mah Hyperion battery on Amazon for $22 shipped. I used a 4200mah Hyperion on my S3 and it worked like a champ!
I'm waiting for Gorilla Gadgets to release an extended battery for our S4. I'm using their 3500mah battery on my old S2 and it increased the screen time from 3 hrs & something to over 8 hrs.
What would be the price you expected for Gorilla gadget?
If it is similar, I may give it a try!!

When I bought it for the S2, it was around $25. I'd imagine that the new S4 one will probably sell for between $40 to $50.
when buying an extended battery, what are the things to look for to make sure you are getting a quality battery that's not worse than the stock one?
i bought mine on ebay. and waiting for it to arrive:good:

The one listed on Batterybay.net is just 22.79. I give it a shot today!!! Wish it is good and longer life as it stated!!

i bought some from this web. it is ok .good price.
Even though I did not want to change my case, I purchased an extended battery. Really love T699’s bulkier size and prefer precision typing,but my biggest gripe after almost one year of using the phone is its battery life. Received the Mpj 5000 mah battery and I have to admit it’s a dramatic improvement over stock. I am able to tell it definitely double my battery life. Actually I’ve also bought a slim OEM battery claimed extended battery life off ebay months ago but just wish I could retrieve my money, couldn't be more different lol.
Good to know... I'm thinking about this too.
Did You carry phone in the trouser pocket? Isn't too big?! I'm little bit afraid...
First time poster.
I currently have a Galaxy S5 as my work phone which has been awesome. I think most Galaxy phones look similar but so far, over all, this is a real good phone.
Now a larger battery would be a plus since it need to receive emails, and make a lot of calls during the day on the road.
Stumbled upon review of a MPJ 8200 mah battery on youtube last night.
I've never seen anyone used extended battery and a total lack of understanding on it, is their price reasonable? What should be paid attention when using extended batteries?
Thank you for any suggestion in advanced.

alright buddy, what you should consider the most is the Bulkiness < almost every extended battery out there for the s5 that exceeds 5400MAH will probably triple the weight of your s5 , i personally chose the ZeroLemon 8500MAH battery because its a well known company for making batteries, i have previously used the MPJ battery for my S2 and it was not bad i liked it ! and plus its way cheaper than ZeroLemon products, but the thing is now alot of people complain about the Shipping Delays it takes them months to get their product from MPJ
i would suggest you to look into either ZeroLemon or Anker both are doing great but keep in mind they will wear down over time meaning you would only enjoy supeer looong battery life for less than a year i believe, and also the worst thing about it is the Heaviness , the heaviness about it is the only thing that bothers me the most.
best one ive seen http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00J2H7GLI/ref=gno_cart_title_0?ie=UTF8&psc=1&smid=A2S56I9NV45MVV
Or if you want a better and bigger battery AND better case for protection, PLUS a screen protector, CLICK HERE
Another consideration is the Hyperion 6500 mAh extended battery and TPU protective case. It is not as bulky as the Zerolemon 8500.
As a loyal ZL customer since the note 2 i will not use any other extended batter other than ZL you guys heard any news on it yet ?
Never had the product but I heard of its huge battery on the note 3, I did some digging around and it wont be out maybe till christmas. Im still debating if I need such a huge thing in this slim phone.
From what I've heard, they're going to release one november-december
maybe they will have more damned colors besides white and black this time. Grrrrrr
I don't like the Note 3's extended battery... it's basically 3 batteries stacked and makes the note 3 HUGE.
I remember them doing a extended battery for note 2 and it was only 2 batteries on top of each other and was MUCH slimmer
No. Note 2 battery was also 3. This is how they got triple the capacity. I had both. The whole point of zl is to make it a brick so it will last an insane runtime. 2 batteries would require the same physical depth as 3 so i would not buy one if it was only 2 batteries.
This time i also will not buy one until i can buy the battery separate from the case (or with anycase ie not requiring me to buy 2 cases) and of a color other than purple pink black and white.

Received a message from Zerolemon also stating Nov-Dec release
regret that I have not heard anything about it. you can google to find
I just bought the official spare charger and battery from Bestbuy so no.
I bought the zero lemon for my note 2 and regretted it. There is just no need for it. I think getting a set of 2 batteries and a wall charger is much better. You still get about a week of battery without charging anything. And changing a battery twice in a week is better than carrying a brick all week. And I can't take a zerolemon to the gym, it would pull my shorts down.
Your just a different kind of user. I have drajned 75% of a zl in one day though usually i can get two solid days of use.
For us heavy users its a godsend. Swapping batteries does not appeal to use since it requires us to tear apart our devices from the cases we wrap them in to protect them.
If you use the phone naked and you can get a week out of 2 stock batteries your a completely different kind of user from that thst use zl's
I'm thinking about buying the ZeroLemon Samsung Galaxy S4 3000mAh Battery. Any opinions? I heard zerolemon was a pretty good company but I just wanted to confirm.
I bought mine about a month a go and I can definitely feel the difference in the duration of screen-on time. I went from like 4.5 hours to 5 hours roughly. More than worth the price.

thanks. I'll probably buy them then. 8.99 is a great price haha!
Bought my pair a few months ago. I don't remember the last time I actually plugged my phone into a charger. I just swap the batteries from the phone to the wall charger. I usually get about 15 hours of decent use, about 3.5 hours of screen time, out of each. It's a great buy.

Man i've tried emailing bastexwireless but they said they don't have any in stock.. still waiting for something i'll let you know if i find anything..
Does this battery add any bulk, size wise I mean, to the phone? I know the weight will probably be heaver but I had an extended battery for my old Photon 4G and had to go without a case on it because of the size of the battery. I don't want to have to do that but this battery looks promising from what I see.
maybe its matter, maybe not... but note that this battery do not have NFC chip.
i also thought about to buy that battery, but for me, the lack of this NFC chip is a deal breaker.
shop ?
Hey,
Do you have a valid link to a shop that actually sell it ?

U will perhaps find it slightly harder to put the battery cover on, but it will fit the same way as stock. Cases wouldn't be an issue.

They took nfc away so it can have a slightly higher battery capacity.
The battery very slightly bulges at the back. If you have a very very specific tight fitting case you will notice the slight inconsistancy. I had one that fit the Galaxy S4 specifically however once the battery was put in, it created a few mm gap.
I initially found the battery to add about 30 min extra however, it began to lose it capacity after a few months then became the same if not worse than the stock.
No NFC, bulge, same battery capacity wasn't worthwhile. I bought from bastexwireless and they were a pain to deal with so if you buy expect to make it a permanent purchase. I tired to contact zerolemon as well and they just gave me the runaround.

I would say the lifespan of holding its charge is pretty similar to the original samsung battery. Under heavy daily use, it would take abt 3 mths I reckon, for it to start losing its capacity bit by bit. It's just the way they are, so I would still get the zerolemon's since they are pretty cheap compared to samsung's. Over here where I live, the original samsung battery is only sold with the extra battery kit, and it costs abt 30usd. I alr got that so it would still be worthwhile for me to ship the zerolemon's over as I don't stay in the US.
Regarding bastex's customer service, I emailed them once regarding their poorly made wall charger. They responded pretty quickly and offered to send me a new one, as well as 2 new batteries since mine had alr bloated up due to months of heavy use. I guess the bloating issue pretty common. So maybe not all their staff provide quality support. [emoji41]
I just got mine this week. This is day 3 of using it. It seems to do a little better, but I'm still in the break-in phase of the battery. I like the extra weight, as it gives the phone a more substantial feel. It fits fine in my otterbox (defender series, I think). Haven't tested it in my seidio obex case yet. I used their battery with my Verizon Galaxy Nexus, and loved it. I expect good things with it.
I just ordered a single battery ($9.XX, with shipping). I didn't need the second battery, or that external battery charger.
Zerolemon's 7.5Ah batteries for Galaxy S4
Zerolemon's 7.5Ah batteries for Galaxy S4, I ordered 3 from e-bay with 2 chargers. The batteries are heavier than the phone and with case is more than twice as thick(deep) as original phone. Width and length are slightly larger too but not appreciably so. Big plus is am never tethered to wall and each battery will last 20+ hours of constant Internet use. Simply swap batteries after running it until <= 2%; one is typically always on charger. Phone with case/battery carries nicely in a LBT Holster.
The zerolemon wall charger is really low quality. It works (charges ur batt from zero to full in abt 4-5 hrs) for the first few weeks, and then takes longer and longer to charge.
Another alternative to never having to charge your phone on the wall is to get the official samsung extra battery kit. That charger is top notch. I got that and use it with my zerolemon's. So I don't need to deal with a huge bulky extended battery either.
It's a small bit bigger than the original battery. It makes putting on your battery cover a little bit more difficult, but not bad. I have a defender case and it makes it just a little tighter.

So far, my zero lemon 3000 mah battery isn't performing too great. I think I'm going to try and return it for another one to see if the ladder is better. I get about 4 hours of screen on time.
