Sedio Innocell 3000mAh Extended Life Battery Picture on there site!

http://www.seidioonline.com/product-p/bacy30ssepc-bk.htm
Still say's under development, but man the thing is fugly IMHO. I am defiantly going to get one from ebay, and why only 3000 mah.

http://cgi.ebay.com/3500mAh-Extende...Accessories&hash=item3cb2c4bb14#ht_4129wt_916

I prefer this back the most. Just so it's entirely even.

why only 3000 mah.

From what I've seen, Seidio's "3000 mAH" probably has more real capacity than the eBay "3500 mAH" batteries. Seidio's ratings are a little more conservative than most.
The problem is that the battery life you and I will see is determined by both capacity AND the battery's ability to deal with high loads. A lithium battery can supply more total milliamperes for more hours if you're drawing a tiny load than if you're sucking down power like there's no tomorrow. Two batteries that seem to allow you to draw "3500mAH" when you're drawing 1mA might appear to be very, very different when you jack the load up to 100mA, and one that's nominally smaller might actually last 10-25% longer than the larger battery at the higher load.
Right now, there really isn't any good, objective, tamper-proof and relevant standard for rating batteries. It's kind of like the way cheap amplifiers get rated as "PMPO", and expensive amplifiers get rated as "RMS, at X% THD". Even a single-chip amp can probably output 500 watts of power for a millisecond at 100% THD before the chip melts, but an amp that can output 500 watts at .1% THD all afternoon is going to cost quite a bit more money. What's missing from the battery industry spec is the "load" part of the equation that tells you how much current was being drawn when that rating was determined.
Oh, also... I might be imagining things, but it looks like they might have actually liked my idea of making the top layer of the battery overflow the stock battery's footprint to squeeze in a bit more battery capacity in the same thickness

on sale now... 69.99

This will make the phone .86" thick, compared to the stock .55". I had the sedio 3500mah on my incredible which made it .7" thick and that wasn't a problem. I'd love to see some feedback on just how huge a .86" phone feels in your pocket, the picture makes it look gigantic.

Can't testify to any actual dimensions, but I do know that I saw a guy with a Seidio battery on his EVO and to me, it actually felt better with the extra size and weight from the battery. It didn't make his EVO seem extra bulky or anything like that, and I think that should be the case with this battery for the Epic.
I want to get this battery, but 2 major things are stopping me:
1. The price is $70. Hrm...between the cheaper extended battery options and the cheaper spare batteries, it's hard to justify $70 for the Seidio battery, especially if the other cheaper batteries seem to last long enough.
2. There's no case for the back - this is the more important reason for me...I can get over the cost of the battery if it's worth it, but how do you protect the back of this thing? And if I leave the top half of my case on, then my phone will look extra ugly and ghetto. They need to make a case and/or more rugged battery cover for those of us that don't want to carry our phones fully or half naked.

IMO a real man lets his phone go naked.
Seriously, I've never used a case for any smartphone. Never had a problem either. But I do carry TEP on every device.

To address your issues:
1) The price is $56 with 20% off coupon code "XMAS20" (without the quotes). I think that's very reasonable, especially when you consider the stock battery with charger is $50 from Sprint.
2) Seidio always end up making cases for their extended battery backs. The back to this unit is best looking one I've seen out of the extended batteries thus far, and give it a month or so and I'm sure there'll be a case you can purchase as well. I personally prefer leaving my phone naked
...yes, I did just order one. $56 well spent, I say - but we'll leave the final decision for when I actually get it and put it through proper use.

Please test the battery to figure out the real world mAh from the battery. I am very interested. If its anything like other Seido extended batteries, I expect it to be around 2450 mAh in reality.

Any input?

Well you've sold me...if they come out with a decently priced battery+case combo, then I'll definitely go for the Seidio option. As far as I see, none of the other extended batteries have any case options.

I just ordered the extended battery and the separate battery charger. Thanks for the Coupon Code. As far as Seidio making cases for their extended battery backs, I've found this isn't the case at all. I bought the extended battery for the Treo 800w and also the HTC Hero and they never came out with an Innocase or anything else, for that matter, for either, although they said they would.
Another option that I've used for the Seidio extended battery is www.mobilecity.com. They had the Hero battery for $20 less than Seidioonline. Right now they list the Epic battery for $59, but the Coupon Code beats that price right now. As of today they don't have it in stock yet. http://www.mobilecityonline.com/wireless/store/productdetail.asp?productid=26868

Just add a kickstand and im sold!

Does anyone have the Seidio extended battery? If so could someone post pictures of the thickness? I'm interested in the seidio battery because i don't like just having 1 hump on the battery case like the 2800 extended battery available on ebay. Plus seidio is known to have awesome extended batteries. If the phone is given a horrible thickness i'd totally buy it. Anyone with the 2800 have a hard time texting or using the game gripper for playing roms? Is it comfortable?

Going off a rough measurement its barely thicker then an Epic with a Seidio Innocase on (about the thickness of a quarter).

I have the 2800 one. It is fine for texting. It definitely adds to the weight of the phone. I don't have the game gripper, but I can still play the racing games just fine. Well, I haven't gotten very far in the game, but I chalk that up to my poor gaming skills to begin with.

Are there any facts that show the cheaper 2800-3000 batteries on ebay are not as good seidio's batteries??? I don't wan to buy something cheap that doesn't last very long.

There is not that I know of. Seido might last a few more charge cycles, but the 3500 mAh battery that I bought and tested here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=864638
is the same thickness, has a true mAh rating around 2800-2900 mAh and works perfectly well with the game gripper. You can also buy these batteries for 12 dollars shipped, so even with the Seido coupon you could have 5 of the 3500 mAh batteries for the same price. And the Seido battery isn't going to have 5 times the cycles than the 3500 mAh ones.
Also, this Seido battery will have a real life rating of around 2400 mAh, if its anything like previous Seido extended batteries.

Based off cosmetics do you think it would be more comfortable having the entire case thicker like the seidio battery case? or is the 3500 mah comfortable enough? Also does it feel odd in your pocket? This is a hard decision for me. Maybe its just me but I like buying the good brand because of the name but the cosmetics of the seidio just look nicer to me than the one you have. This is a tough decision. I understand the battery life but now its all up to looks and feel. hmm.

Just ordered a seidio 1750mah battery for ns4g!

I must admit I am both excited and scared over this purchase. I am excited because if it is 1750mah it will be amazing. But, I have read some poor reviews regarding this battery. So, if it is just like a stock battery it will be a sad waste of $40. Seidio has never let me down in the past so I am hoping it works out. Anyone have stories?
thanks

You'll probably get more feedback there.

Only story I have....u should have bought the 3500. No comparison. The 1750 is barely noticeable. At least for me. My usage required more capacity.

I understand but I just don't want something so bulky. I like the regular look of the phone. I am just crossing my fingers.

I have an extra incipio feather if u would be interested. I use the platinum 2x. No case. Love it. 30+ hours any given time. 6+ hours screen on time

no thanks, I am hoping this seidio can give me a few extra hours!

The feather is case, an extremely thin one for the stock battery, if u might have misunderstood.

i had one before and a cheap battery of ebay performed better than tseido's 250 ma extra over stock battery

seems like everyone has a differ experience. Some good, some bad... Luck of the draw I guess. I am staying positive

I have had very good results with Mugen batteries. They're a bit more expensive but very good quality.

The battery is a 15% upgrade over the stock one. So yeah, imagine 15% longer.
Most people are deceived because they lack the scientific testing. Their only test is "it lasts X hours".
That's today, with a different usage than yesterday, with a different network signal quality and so on. It's not so much the battery than the user...

I highly recommend this seidio battery. I am noticing a very nice increase in battery life abd i am very happy with this purchase.

Thanks In advance!!!

i suggest you also purchase the 8500Mah version of ZL i have purchased it and waiting for it to arrive.
i am sure it will serve you well in giving you lots of ScreenOnTime and Standby times, plus the case is very sturdy looking it has its flaws for example the speaker sounding low since the battery is really wide and covers the speakers but you can use a little piece of smthng like credit card material and put it between the battery near the speaker and then put the cover on im sure it will give better sound that way . go for 8500, only like 20$ more

I have the 8500, and chose it for the case and holster. As others have said, the case is very nice and very protective. Comparisons to OtterBox are appropriate, and it may even be better... It also came with a holster which was the one thing that had been lacking for ZL in general. I had their battery with my Galaxy Nexus, and it was heck trying to find something to carry it on my belt that didn't look and feel horrible.
As for battery life, I'm on my third charge, and am getting 2-3 days. I have lots of apps, use lots of location based activities, and make the occasional phone call. With the stock battery I was getting 14-18 hours.

[Q] Zerolemon external travel charger?

Is there one available for the Zerolemon Samsung Galaxy Note 4 10000mah Extended Battery yet? Will any other external chargers work?

I think the Samsung OEM charger would work. Might have to remove the flip open lid.

..
It fits.. and it's charging. Can't say how well it will work yet. The door was easy to take off tho.
The problem with these batteries is the fact that they want you to charge them for 12 hours..... conditioning is good But...
If you need 10k mah, do they expect you to have 12 hrs to attach yourself to the wall?
I have had very good luck with zl batteries though. I'm finally going to review this one once I've used it a few weeks.
Honestly, notes feel better with the big batteries IMHO. my 4 is neat to hold but once I have the case and battery on it, it's more comfortable.
Sorry for the hijack.
O.R.

They already have a Zerolemon thread for this battery and you shall face same issues we all have and did. Lol
BAD ASS NOTE 4

yeah I never go off of forums when trying to figure out whether or not to buy something. I trust Amazon reviews before I trust that. besides I don't know if you've read every page but I actually did before I made this order. I also read the comment made whenever someone asked if a zl battery would fit in an otterbox.
I've been cutting defender otter boxes to fit extended batteries since the defender OtterBox came out. Zerolemon to me was not revolutionary. it was just a much better looking alternative to what I was already doing. I've had plenty of luck out of zerolemon, and I've talked to plenty of people who, when you get down to it, can't just blame the company for the issues that they've had. I don't at all believe that the company does as well as it used to. but not every last battery is a piece of ****.
but I guess I am trying to defend my purchase here and that's really easy. I do not like the feel of the note without a large case and heavy battery. I couldn't hang on to the first note until I got the battery. why the hell someone wants something that's half the size of a notebook but as thin as a sheet of paper I will never understand. it is ten times as comfortable to hold with all of these attachments. your mileage may vary I guess..

Lifeproof FRE case with an extended battery or a Wireless charging back cover?

I'm not too sure if this is the right place to ask all of this, but here it goes:
I'm heavily considering an S5, especially since it is has some waterproofing, has an OLED screen, and many features that budget phones today do not have. Lifeproof also offers a case(albeit expensive) that makes it much more waterproof and 'drop-proof'. Would there be any similar cases that you would recommend, that increase waterproofing and make it drop proof?
However, I'm also pretty worried about the battery life. How much time can the stock 2800 mAh battery get you? I'm pretty sure the Lifeproof case won't work with really any extended battery.
And while I don't know the practicality of it, how necessary/cool is a wireless charging cover? I think it's a really cool thing for something as old as an S5, but I'm not too sure if it's worth the tradeoff(s). I have seen posts here saying that the wireless charging cover is somewhat compatible with the Lifeproof case, but inconvenient.
A final question, although not really an accessory question, is where should I get an S5 from? Will the popular ebay ones do for rooting? I need it unlocked though

Hello and welcome the s5 is a good choice to have and it can hold its own as for the waterproof case you could just get the life proof if it suits your needs but I personally don't have one that's water proof.for wireless charging it is good for over night or if your at work but the charge rate is slow so I would just get a long charging cable
For the battery I get about 5 to 6 hours screen on time it all depends on daily usage and what apps your using
And for buying a s5 I paid £40 for mine all working but the paint has started coming off the bezel if you can get one private of sites like shpock or Gumtree then you should get one cheap if not eBay or amazon then I bought a zagg invisible shield off eBay for £0.99p and a hard case for the same price
