experience of using Onite Battery for my Samsung Galaxy S4 I9500

Last month I bought a new brand Onite battery for my Samsung Galaxy S4 I9500.I must say this has been a good battery. I have used it for about a month now; I am on the phone all day, usually over 4 hours of screen time, and the battery is rarely below 70% in the end. It is not like my stock battery only last less a day.

wow, It seems good.

Where did you got this battery?
I didn't find it when S4 released in the end of April.

I just ordered the 2600 2-pack with charger from Amazon for $20.
After days of being in airplanes I realized I needed a spare.

I will have it on Tuesday. I hear good things. I went with stock size because those extended batteries look ridiculous.

Thanks for your information.
I agree with you. Extended battery is so thick.
I am eyeing their 2600mAh battery with NFC on another listing.
Share your purchase when you got it.
I would like to buy it if it works great.

Onite battery from amazon
I bought it from amazon. It is a brand called "Onite", you search "Onite battery" in amazon, then you will find serials of batteries.

I got Onite battery last month
Compared with my original one, it works one day longer. The charger came together with the batteries is a specific one for Samsung Galaxy S 4 i9500. They are all works smoothly recently.

I got the Onite S4 battery today and just started charging my battery. It's been on for about six hours and still shows charging.
I'm concerned if they have a higher amp charger for the s4 battery .Then I contacted the customer service and they explain that the low current will not hurt the battery life.
Moreover, they also introduce a new charger which is 600mAh, I have bought a new charger, will update it later.

I too bought the onite 2 pack with charger on Amazon. Everything works great, I just wish they would label the batteries NFC or non-NFC so that I knew what i had. The ones i bought said NFC in the order, but the batteries are not marked from what i can see.

Was there a bulge on the back?

Great batteries that last long!!!

Hey there, no bulge for me, and I'm using the 2600mAh ones. I too was concerned about whether or not there would be a bulge because of reviews I read about the Anker ones being a tad bit thicker than the OEMs, so that's why I went with the Onite ones, and from my experience you don't have to worry about bulging with these. They last pretty long too. I charged mine, then let them drain so that I could charge them again, and it took almost 17 hours after just one charge, and that's with heavy use all day.

yeah, the 2600mah Onite battery is a good chioce. one friend suggests it to me and I bought one .

Yeah okay mate. As if a battery which claims to have the same rating as stock (which I doubt) can last a day longer. I was considering buying a couple to test and discredit you but I don't really think I need to now. That utterly ridiculous statement has made you look untrustworthy enough I'd say, and I don't want to give you a single cent.
You have a post count of 5 and it's petty obvious you are a spam account set up to promote your batteries. There are also several other posters in this thread with low post counts who, coincidently, only post in battery threads to either recommend onite batteries or discredit other brands. In fact there are more suspect posters than legit ones in this craptastic thread.
If the product were any good you wouldn't have to resort to such underhanded marketing techniques as creating multiple accounts just to spam and mislead people.
Please folks, BEWARE!

The Anker Giant - 7600mAh S4 battery pack

When Samsung released big-screen Galaxy Note seriers smart phones and get the market, we have 5.8 / 6.3 inch GALAXY Mega, 5.9 inch HTC One Max, 6.4-inch SONY Xperia Z Ultra, the coming 6.0 inch Nokia Lumia 1520 ... ... Do we really need big like tab smart phone ?
Not only for the phone itself, we have more and more third party factories offered huge capacity replacement batteries, The Galaxy S3 has 2100mAh original battery, after that, we found 4200mAh, 7000mAh replacement batteries in market. The Galaxy S4 has 2600mAh original battery but we saw 7500mAh which so called world's largest S4 battery in the world.
Well well well ... that's not the end, I just noticed Anker released 7600mAh S4 replacement on Amazon and the nice price is only $32 free shipping.
This beast comes with two different back covers -- black and white. The huge innovative is they provided a 2600mAh internal battery plus a 5000mAh extended battery in the back cover. You need to use the internal battery and battery case together in order to prolong the battery's lifespan. What are you expecting for this one?

Anker has really good products but for me, I think I'll pass. Large capacity but no NFC. Also, great if you run your phone naked. I bet it will be a pain to get a protective case around that thing. I'd rather pay $7 more and get the ZeroLemon Extended Battery.

that is correct. you can not get the factory battery work with extended battery. I haven't really used NFC once but I fear I might in the future, so for me it is not that important.

I've read that the Seidio Active Extended Battery Case works well with the Hyperion battery and just well enough with the Anker 5200.
Also: Is the Anker really larger than the Zerolemon Extended 7500mAh? Why wouldn't it fit into the Zerolemon case made for that battery?

The shipping took longer than I thought, so I just received it this Saturday. :silly:
There was a definite gain in thickness and weight once I installed the battery, but it's not that bothersome. I'd compare it to Zerolemon's 7500mAh extended battery. (I'll post some pics soon.)
I've only gone through one complete cycle (fully charge and discharge) since most of the time I forget to drain it all the way. Anker's instructions recommend to go through about 4-6 cycles of charging and discharging the battery before seeing actual results. (I asked via email.) Once I've gone through those cycles, I'll report back. The battery is doing moderately well so far. I'm at 26% after a day and nine hours, with 3 hrs of screen on time, about 30 minutes of GPS navigation, sync on, push notifications of email and social networking, all smart features on, LTE on, and 75% brightness. :good:

hey guys just wanted to see what kind of battery life you guys are getting out of this battery? i have this already on my s4 but my battery life varies, i am running gummy rom 4.4 using ktoonz 11/16 kernel, im seeing only about anywhere from 8-11 hours of use on a moderate to very moderate use, but i did read somewhere that they recommend you fully charge then use all the way dead on battery like 5-6 times can someone re-iterate me and correct me if im wrong? my frist initial full charge use was awesome...as i got 34 hours out of my battery with about 17% left, but that was light to moderate use.

I'm on my 2nd 7600.. returned the first one because it wouldnt hold a charge very long.
so far im on my 3rd cycle with the 7600.. and it's hit or miss about lasting longer.. because i dont see a way to force the 2nd battery to charge...

I have the zerolemon battery. I forgot the exact mah, but it last me the day with how much I use my phone, full brightness and such.

ok guys update, i've let my phone go through the full charge and completely dead cycles 3 times now, i am now on my 4th charge, but this time it charges up more slowly, i charged it for about 3 hours and it was up to 79% its now been 19 hours and 18min and im down to 50% on battery i think its pretty good so far now, alot better when i was just randomly charging it.

posting another update, battery went completely dead from 79% charge at 1 day 11 hours. moderate useage..... Great battery life!

Slim extended battery don't work well. Usually falsely advertised for their capacity. Can't get more capacity into a battery if you don't increase the real estate of the battery

IMO Anker are a great battery. And their CS is second to none :good:

From the past, NFC and kickstand has been done with other phone models, wireless charging might not be possible.
There might be a stand along wirless charging battery by anymode (samsung sister/partner company or a third party one), but this one has not been confirmed.

I never needed one for my S4, so I am guessing I will get by without a second on the S5. I do have a 7800 mah portable charger that we bring along on trips and events should anyone need to power up. Battery life has definitely improved since my Thunderbolt/ Galaxy Nexus days.

Not sure about Anker and other 3rd party batteries. Steve Litchfield did a test on several 3rd party batteries (inc. Anker) and they all don't hold as much charge as the original. You can get physically bigger ones but they don't appear to be as energy dense as the originals. Still for the price, they made sense as spare/back up batteries compared to originals.

That is what i meant. The Anker i had with my S4 wasn't as good as the original but not far off. So comparing Anker vs original it was probably better value pound for pound. You could probably get 2 Anker ones for the price of a Samsung.

I go with Seideo myself. They are quite expensive but the extended battery + Case/Clip combo works well. I started with them on my Palm Pre and have bought their stuff for every phone after that. Generally their cases and clips hold up well and the batter adds a few days worth of life. Your mileage may vary though.

I found this 5600mA extended battery here:
http://www.batterybay.net/Extended-Battery-for-Samsung-Galaxy-S5-p/samsung-cs-smi960hl.htm
I previously used Batterybay battery. Fair performance but cheap price (relatively to Mugen)
I think I will give it a vote this time. Anyone here tried that before???

OR, just buy the stock battery that comes with the S5 or the battery/charger combo if you wanna keep it slim as stock. That's what I would do. The KINPS 4000mah battery for my Note 2 that I bought from Ebay was not any better than the stock 3100mah that came with it.

[Q] ZeroLemon Samsung Galaxy S4 3000mAh Battery

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.

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.

Legit aftermarket larger internal battery?

Was looking at batteries on ebay and seen a couple sellers offering 3200mah batteries. Has anyone tried these or have any experience with them? Are there any known battery makers that makes these for our phones?

Samsung is one of the best Lithium battery manufacturers on the planet. Finding a higher capacity cell that would fit the S6 is pretty much impossible and those 3200mah batteries are most likely fakes

Ya that's what I thought. I was just wondering if a legit company had made one. Like anker or zero lemon. Not really into the battery case thing

Just an an FYI: the last phones that had official extended battery support support was S2 and S3. ZeroLemon made one for S4 but the bulk added is just ridiculous. S5 is "waterproof" and that feature would go away with 3rd party or even official support and cause even more issues among the average joe's. The S6 back is sealed. So unless you can magically modify the whole frame to keep the support it adds and fit a larger battery while at the same time magically invent extra space for it you're unfortunately out of luck.

Maybe would be possible to use the 3200 mah battery and cover of the S6 active? That would be wonderful

Those batteries are fake. Never trust batteries from eBay. Your best solution is to buy a good battery case like the mophie, but it is a bit pricy.

I bought one and the battery was still terrible. I ended up selling the phone. Probably will wait to see what the s7 has to offer. The s4, s5 and s6 were disappointing phones.

For me battery on S6 is great, holds me all day, and if i really need i can plug in fast charge for 10-20 minutes that gives me 4-6 additional hours.

S5 battery was great. I don't agree.

Fast charger is underated... When I had my Z2, battery would last longer but when it didn't I basically needed 4 hours to charge it again.
I remember needing my GPS for Google Maps to go to an scheduled event... I had to use my car charger all the time.
It was very annoying.
With the S6 in 25 minutes charging I already have a decent battery to use.

The only battery that does work and its 3000mAh is the galaxy S 6 edge + battery, its the same flex connector and width but not the same height as the oem one, so some modifications need to be made to the mid frame to make it fit, the galaxy s7 battery is also 3000mAh and has the same flex connector/height/width as the s6, so in theory it should also fit with 0 modification to the mid frame.

He stated same height and width so I am assuming the same dimensions. Might have to give this a go and order an OEM replacement s7 battery and take it in to get it swapped.

You want to put a 3000 Mah battery of the S6 edge plus in a S6? If you mean this i wuold appreciate to see your progress!!!

Any news?

PMed him and got no response as well. Does anyone actually have the measurements for the battery for both phones? From the pictures they look really similar with the s7 having a slightly longer cable. It also looks a bit thicker but I think the black bars just gives that illusion. Hell I'd swap it out and use it without the back cover if I had to.

Samsung said that the dimensions are very similar as the dimensions of the battery of our S6.
So i think we can do it.
But i think is better with the battery of s7 flat

Ok guys i finally was able to get an s7 battery, in the picture you can see the s7 battery on the left and the s6 on the right, the s7 battery is physicly smaller im very surprise by that being that its 3000mAh vs the s6 2550mAh, but it does fit, the only issue is that the s7 battery is about 1mm thicker..that could be a problem, il update with more pictures on monday with the battery on my s6.
