I was asked to do a review of the RavPower 2800mAh replacement battery for my Samsung S4.
A bit of history, I have the S4 for verizon, I run Vanir Rom and use Ktoons kernel. I also have a pebble watch that pulls weather every 20 to 60 minutes.
Prior to using in my phone, I used my external battery charger to ensure it was at 100% when I put it into my phone. Normally I charge every night but last night I said to myself, I want to see how long it will go compared to the stock battery.
Attached is a screenshot and I am well over 5 hours my norm and still have 27% left.
Personally, if you are looking for a good, solid replacement, I would certainly purchase one of these.

Too many 1-star reviews on Amazon. Won't be taking the risk. I think OEM-Original or Anker (or Zerolemon) is a safer bet

I'm not sure if this was a mislabeled battery but its pretty awesome if it is. Been using this battery for a couple of days, lasting me 2 days no problem

How much did you pay for it? Where did you get it? And does it fit with the existing battery door cover?
Sent from my HTC Vision using XDA Premium App
99.99% it will not fit in the standard battery door. at 1800mah, it barely fits. over double that is a guaranteed no way. sorry.
Ya, I'm not so sure about that either. I got rid of the G1 for a few reasons and the thickness was one of them...
Please post source for buying it and details about cover.Side picture would be nice
I paid 23$ for 2 for these. It was a package deal, I'm not sure if it was mislabeled or not, seeing as the eBay post stated 3500 mAH. This was the same deal I bought

It does not fit in the OEM battery door, I'll try to get some pictures up when I can.
Battery case could be the most practical gadgets for Galaxy S5,before the mophie juice pack come out or don't think it's a good solution on cost, then we may get to find some replacement, however, we may also get some fake capacity battery case which doesn't last a long time... get to know the 4800mah case and if someone tried yet ?

Thats cool and all, but IMO those are for Gphones.
Or other phones with silly non removable batteries. I think a huge benefit to the galaxy line is the fact we can swap a battery within seconds. it would take less room in your pocket than having that case and give you DOUBLE the life rather than 60% more or whatever that case gives you.

Just thought i give heads up so far since i purchased this battery i have no issues and they are excellent batteries.
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SM-N910A
I took the plunge for this battery thanks to an Amazon Warehouse deal.
Result of first day (after charging it fully with the official Samsung cradle charger):

Will keep testing and report again after 2 more full charges.
Wow that's amazing! Does NFC and stuff still work?

Unsure, I don't have any tool to test the NFC with. But the battery has the NFC bulge on it, so it should work.
Regarding the further screenshots, I wasn't able to kill the battery yet, so I have yet to make close-to-death ones.
I did notice that it stays at 1% for like a couple of hours and if I remove and it put it back it jumps back up at 17%, so I guess the usual issue is still present, sadly.
HI,
everyone I am sharing my battery health after 2 yearsof usage using fast charging. I mostly used to charge between from 20 to 80%. My battery health is 92-93%. What is your expierence?

I've had mine for 18 months and now it only charges up to a bit over 3800 mAh.
I always charge it to 100%. Normally it's only once a day, but when I'm doing "heavy" stuff like testing backup/recovery or updating processes (rollback, update, repeat) it can be two times and sometimes three times a day.
18 months, mostly slow charge once a day. I've got 3900 mAh, 13% down on new. I mostly slow charge as I believed it would be kinder to the battery. But your results Skyline suggest I'm wrong. Intriguing! Perhaps it's the 20 to 80% aspect - that's what laptop manufacturers recommend for long life.
