Guess you got the magic edition and magic phone too. Maybe zero lemon made your phone too instead of Samsung.

What's the need to be sarcastic? I own the battery so i would know that there is no noticeable bulk. Works with my neo hybrid and otterbox commuter. Im also posting pictures later. And by the way, my phone was made by Samsung not zero Lemon.

By all means, please continue with the pics. I should have my batteries in today hopefully. Never do the expedited shipping with them, it comes just as fast as the regular. I feel stupid for not listening to you guys hahaha

Haha yeah i was pretty surprised with the shipping rates. It was only 69 cents and it took about 4 days to come in. I think youll like it. The reason why people complain about the bulge probably has the s4 on a different carrier. I have verizon and its fine.

I own two of them and was very disappointed I also did a review in the other thread. And if you are following it people are doing scientific analysis of the batteries over stock as welonas physical reviews. And you will see there is little to no gain over stock. Plus you lose NFC and cause an ugly bulge in the back. If you read my review you will see see hat both batteries caused bulge
Hmm what are the chances right! Unless this is a fact! These batteries are lemons and going against the companies mission statement and that's what pisses me off. And these people that are sitting here in denial trying to validate there purchase so they don't feel jipped is comical at best.

Good to hear GnexusPro. Mine also had no bulges with pictures to prove so. I can say from personal experiece I'm getting more battery life, but It cant be considered in reviewing the product as everyone uses their phone differently.

I just got mine. Had to remove the battery label to get it to fit under the standard cover. We'll see what performance is like, not expecting much at this point.

Definitely some interesting reviews . Not quite sure what to think yet besides that its an ok spare battery . The way i use it is i just swap my 2 batteries out so i never really need my phone on the charger . I just finished my first cycle and i noticed that the last 10 percent lasted me a LONGG time. Anyway here are the screenshots from the first cycle. Keep in mind that i was at work today amd didnt charge for a night. I'll pay more screenshots after 5cycles

I'm really beginning to feel that there must be some individuals posting inside these Zerolemon threads that are from the competition side. I say this because I finally got my 3000mah Zerolemon today and I don't have any bulging issues.
I was getting anxious reading all the negative impressions and reviews, feeling fully ready to return the Zerolemon and just buy the OEM battery and charging kit with my 50% coupon.
And to make it worse, my delivery was behind schedule and I only got the battery today (I was supposed to get it on the 5th).
To my pleasant surprise, the battery went in just fine with the sticker intact and the cover snapped on with no bulge. Just to make sure my tactile ability and vision was working correctly, I even had my wifey and mom examine the phone without telling them I had a non-OEM battery inside. Neither of them detected or felt any bulges.
It was, however, more difficult to seat the battery in compared to oem, especially the lower-left corner. I expected super-snugness but it wasnt as tight and bad as I expected. In fact, I had a harder time fitting in the 7500mah battery when I tried to install it for the first time.
I dont know why I'm not experiencing the bulging problems as others. My phone was one of the first batches that went out during the preorder period. Even my 3000mah Zerolemon battery must be one of the first batches because I placed my order for it the day the battery became available and it was shipped out the very next day (although I received my battery so late compared to others).
I do have one theory, though, as to why I may not be affected. Maybe it's because when Zerolemon assembled my particular battery unit, they tightly and flushly wrapped the sticker around the battery, enabling smooth installation.
I'm not saying that all the people who are complaining about the bulging problem are liars and paid-off people. But I have a hunch that we do have some of that type of people mixed in here. And I dont think it's a far fetched idea. After all, the aftermarket battery market is a big and lucrative one and I'm sure there are some desperate and deceitful business people out there trying hard to muck up the competition by spreading FUD to promote themselves.
Anyhow, enough about that and now it's time to see if this battery offers some improvement over the OEM.

I think I had a little over 2.5 hours of screen time here. I love this battery. It easily gets me through the day without having to worry about car chargers, etc. I would definitely recommend this to anyone not looking to add the bulge of the big daddy they sell .

Nice results. 400mAH isn't alot, but i think it helps for the people that don't stare at their phone 6-8hrs a day. Times where I'd usually be at 20% im now at 40-50% now.

First full day was a nice surprise. I got 19 hours (2 hours screen-on time) to 20% remaining, whereas I usually get to 14 hours with the same usage. Everyone's usage patterns are different so I wouldn't focus on the absolute # of hours but rather just the lift from the stock battery. Definitely worth the $12 from Amazon.

Starting to love the added bulk of s4 extended battery

I love my S4 ever since I hands-on it. Because of my work and preference, I am on my S4 quite a lot--- make phone calls for 1-2 hrs per day, emails, stream google music, fb,etc. I don’t know many things abt extended battery before and think I won’t like the*bulkier*feel of the phone with them, so I have to change my OEM batteries constantly, until I received one unexpectedly from my friend. It is a mpj 7000mah extended battery…not sure if it’s a good third-party seller without this knowledge…my friend is gonna upgrade to Note 3 and gave his s4 extended batteries to me.
Now I would like to get an extended battery as a back up to my backup rather than several oem batteries. The extra juice is definitely worth the extra bulk and weight! And the bulkier feel of it begin to grow on me..lol.. it's comfortable to*hold.

I began using one on early this year, I can't accept it at first but now I would be lost without it. I love my extra battery, never have to plug in when I am at work again and if I go out I am not worried about it again...

Having only a 5200mah extended battery (with a flipbook case glued to the cover), it does get me thru the day, most days.
I do feel more secure holding it with the extended battery, the standard (samsung) back cover is more slippery and the added weight and thickness gives more surface to hold on to. Had an extended battery on my last phone (galaxy nexus) with the same results.
Longer battery autonomy, better grip and harder to find a fitting case or pouch (thats why i got one with case attached to the back cover).

I am still getting used of it:fingers-crossed:

Reading this, one thing comes to mind I'll f... you till you love me
Sorry no intention to insult anyone just couldn't resist I would not put extended battery on my phone, because it makes it look like a brick, but then I don't relay on my phone for work like other people do and I can always charge it up since I'm in the office all day.

Extended batteries are no different then any other accessory for any smartphone . Some people due to their work situation needs a screen guard or rugged case or an extended battery . Personally I like how the S4 is with its stock battery but to be honest for my usage patterns it just isn't enough battery power . Between phone calls , facebook during lunch,various texting and music for the gym the stock doesn't cut it . I love being free'd from the charging cord and no longer wondering should I charge this thing before I leave the house again or am I going to have a dead paperweight . Id rather carry a brick for a phone then a dead one or until battery technology gets better .

Personally, I feel it made the phone easier to handle.My friend all agreed that it was easier to hold and felt more sturdy.

I agree with you guys but for me it's a no go for the simple fact that I can't use the Spigen Slim Armor View case with a extended battery.
Or is there something similar for extended batteries?

I like the idea of an extended battery, but I just don't need it. For those who do, good for you.
But how long do you take to fully charge it from zero percent? And what charger do you all use, the original samsung one?
I just thought that charging it would take a long time too. But it shouldn't be a problem if you leave it on the charger overnight.

The samsung stock charger should put out around 1700ma.. so just divide your battery capacity (5200mah) by the 1700ma.. and you get ~3 hours.

Extd batt has been my favorite product on S4

I loved the zerolemon 7000mah for the s3, for me it was the perfect size and not having to worry about battery life is amazing. I Bought the ZL and felt it slightly to big for it to be comfortable. I am going to try anker.

It would be nice if it fits in my pocket.

Zerolemon 10,000mah battery available for preorder

they've released the new iteration of their super large capacity battery. I've owned one on my note 2 and note 3. I'm looking forward to the case as well, the one for the note 3 was lackluster.

Did you see the size of the phone afterwards? OMG. Huge!

That should come with suspenders to hold your pants up once you pocket it.

I'm going to keep my eyes on this, and order some suspenders or a utility belt to go with it

60 dollars seems steep. You could get an external anker battery with 12k mah for like 20 bucks and you wouldn't sacrifice size...these batteries seemed worth back then but with the cheap availability of power banks they seem irrelevant now.
I'll still keep an eye out though because it would be pretty sweet.

an UnNecessary expense!
Why would you need it on a higher technology device such as the Galaxy Note 4?.... I may want an external battery pack that's compatible with Qualcomm's Quick Charge 2.0 spec (Samsung's adaptive quick charge).
If I'm to spend $60.00 on a big heavy battery of a mediocre life warranty, I would rather my money spent on a battery I can use for other things such as to charge my Bluetooth Headphones
not to mention the case is an awful way to make an expensive $900 smartphone look as if you pulled it from a cereal box!
I'm using Battery Guru https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.xiam.snapdragon.app
and my Battery life is PHENOMENAL!!! SO I WOULD THINK TWICE ON THIS EXPENSE?.. as the previous post of above said would be a smarter choice to get an external battery.

I will have to keep and eye out for this. I had one for my note 2, note 3 and s4. Use then all when I go on trips and am away from a charging station. This looks nice. Will have to see how this stacks up with the other brands and see if they sell them for a deal.

I had a Zerolemon for my S4, battery life was phenomenal with it! But it made the phone so huge and heavy, my arm ached when I talked on the phone for more than 10 minutes. I can only imagine how big the Note 4 will be with such a battery... and it's scary!!

I bought from them last year for my Note 3 and it nearly missed x-mas, a good two weeks late!

Wow, that's going to make the phone almost an inch thick.

I have one of these. it's called a "Brick" in my front yard, hahahaaaa. j/k

Zerolemon won't listen to us, their facebook page is filled with people asking for a "slim version" that's like their Note 2 extended battery.

Everyone has their opinion. Some are surprisingly bold in their urging theirs on others.
Nobody really needs it. After all it already has a battery that works. It's simply a matter of preference.
Some would rather not have to bother with lugging around another external battery pack and it's charger and trying to find a way to leave it connected in their pocket or holster while they go about their busy day from place to place hoping they don't accidentally bend the connector over and possibly break the power port on their $900 smartphone that appears to have an insufficient battery life to carry it through the day even though it's "phenomenal".
Some of us don't concern ourselves about others' opinion as to it's looks, weight or bulk. Some of us only care about the device performing based on our particular needs / wants.
And some of us are VERY reluctant to run an app that demands such invasive permissions as
Identity - access to accounts
Location - Precise location (GPS and network-based)
Photos/Media/Files - modify or delete the contents of your USB storage
-test access to protected storage
in order to save battery life.
Why a battery saving app needs my serial #, google ad id#, precise location and ability to modify or delete the contents of my USB storage is concerning to me.
For those of us in that situation, no need to think twice about what fits our preference because the smarter choice for us is to go with what works best for us.
Some would advise that you'd be foolish to spend $900 on a phone when you could just as easily make calls and text from a dumb phone or that if you insist on a smart phone, it would be far more prudent and financially responsible to purchase a Note 2 or other smartphone on ebay or Craigslist for far less money. Yes, it's true, you could get something other than what you really want but you want what you want.
As for me, I love to hear about others ideas and findings, allowing me to make educated choices about either what I need or just simply want.
That's part of why I decided on the Anker 7800mah extended battery for my Galaxy S4 and the Zero Lemon universal rugged case that would accommodate any size extended battery. Yes, it was a brick but I didn't care 'cause I got the quality battery I wanted with a case that worked. I could also get a day and a half of moderate to heavy usage without having to plug in somewhere. I didn't have the inconvenience of either not having my phone with me as it lay somewhere else charging or carrying my external battery pack around to charge my phone, being very very cautious not to snag the cord and damage the power port on my expensive phone as I get my job done running service calls, up and down ladders, in and out of my van, with frequent need to talk to tech assistance for the product I was working on.
It also saved me the hassles mentioned above while on an overnight hikes where pack weight and unnecessary extra stuff is a consideration.
The best part though is it fit the bill for what I wanted. The "smarter choice" is subjective depending on your needs / wants. Even though for me the smarter choice is to keep my privacy rather than just hand it all over to app developers, and though I won't use it because of the invasive permissions, I appreciate you sharing about the Snapdragon app and your choices regarding charging. It allows me to see the pros and cons, and to learn about more of the multitude of things I am ignorant of to make an educated choice.

I bought the Zerolemon shockproof for my S4. It has served me well through many drops. That one looked a lot like an Otterbox to me. Only issue was the built in screen protector was very poor and sat above (not touching) the screen, so you had to press the protector down until it touched the screen to use the phone. I took it off (easy, just a little adhesive used to hold it in) and installed a Seidio tempered glass protector.
Hoping they offer the same case for universal fit with any extended battery. I'm looking forward to Anker's extended battery (in development). On the S4 they offered 7800mah vs. Zerolemon's 7500mah. I expect they may very well up the up the capacity vs. the Zerolemon again. Their warranty is 1 year and their customer service is outstanding.

Pros: it lasts very very long time, reduced shock holster
Cons: expensive, 1.5lbs heavy, huge appearance, wife hates it

Had a zerolemon on my note 3 and would NEVER buy another phone that didn't have a zerolemon extended battery and rugged case as an option! I HATE charging my phone every night because I hate the cord getting all tangled up with me while I am lying in bed trying to visit websites and watch netflix. I don't mind the extra weight or thickness because I prefer a heavier thicker phone so I know that I am actually holding something! It's all about choice and options people, you like a feather thin phone that's up to you but for me, give me a solid rugged case and a 10,000 mah battery and I am in seventh heaven!

Standard fit / high capacity battery

Do any exist, which are safe and reliable?
On previous notes, I bought a slightly higher capacity Mugen but can't find any for the note 4 (in the UK).
My phone is now 9 to 10 months old and the battery is tiring (I think). Maybe a refresh is due. I can imagine the higher speed charging kills them off sooner too. ANOTHER good reason why the Note 5 should have a removable battery. A a built in battery will be performing under par in no time.

thanks I just saw that.
How much extra juice do you get from normal charging?

So 4 months later, how are the batterys holding up?
My OEM battery seems to not be holding juice long enough and I'm looking for a replacement.

Yes, I want to know as well. Facing same issue as OP.

I hope you find what you're looking for... I am hooked on high capacity batts, and now even the little handed wife can handle a Hyperion 8000 batt with TPU case easily- they're not as brick-like as the zerolemon. Bought a new 8000 and a case for a total of 38 bucks with free shipping on amazon yesterday.
But everyone has their own way of wanting things- hope it works out. If it doesn't, though, I'll offer that it really doesn't take long to adapt to the Hyperion type with it's case. That same case works with the Anker 6400 too. Both have been great performers for me.
Cheers!

Thanks for your input. I'm more inclined towards the standard fit because of the accessories I already have: the car support, the cases, etc.. An oversize higher capacity battery would imply further investment in other stuff, while a standard fit would just (hopefully) improve a little on the OEM battery. If any of the batteries mentioned can fit the original samsung car windshield support I'd consider them a an option.

I just received this one today and so far it seems pretty good. Same size as OEM but it took noticeably longer to charge so the extra capacity seems legit. I had a Deep Stretch for my Sensation back in the day and it was great, so we'll see after a few days how this one performs in the ol' note 4.

I saw that battery, but passed it up due to the blurry photo (and the battery looks in the photos like it's a cheap battery with a sticker on it) and the generic reviews (as if the seller may have made a few of them). It just all looked like a cheap battery to me.
Let us know how it performs. Longer charging time may not indicate a bigger battery, especially if the battery really is a cheap Chinese battery or something.

OK so after a couple days with this battery I can say that it's good. The more I use it the better it seems to get too, on the first day it was roughly the same as my stock battery but today it's lasting a lot longer. I am getting a noticeable bump in overall life, ending my day with about 30% more juice left than I normally do.
Deep Stretch is legit, like I mentioned before I had one of their batteries a few years ago with my Sensation and it gave me noticeably more life as well. These aren't good if you're wanting a major increase in battery life, but they're great just to get your phone comfortably through a day of moderately heavy use without having to bulk it up.

This battery uses new technology? How could they made a same size but much higher capacity comparing to stock one? Could you post your onscreen time with this battery?

I am always skeptical about batteries that claim higher capacity while not being physically larger. Not saying these are bad but for I wouldn't buy it for the bigger number on the package. Personally, I tend to go with OEM batteries, bought with retail packaging from a reputable seller. Sure these are too expensive for what they are, but at least, I know what I am getting.
It is worth noting that li-ion/li-po batteries degrade slowly over time. So when you change your year-old battery for a new one, you are very likely to notice an improvement, even if you replaced it with the exact same model.

Now that you have it a few more days how is it going? I'm also interested in purchasing a standard fit battery.

I ended up getting a v10 the other day, but I did use the battery for about 2 weeks and it definitely did give me a noticeable bump in overall life. For $25 I would say go for it.

Best Extended Battery for Note 4? Hyperion, ZeroLemon or something else?

I've been looking around at the extended batteries for the Note 4. Which one do you consider the best?
Right now I'm leaning towards the Hyperion 8000 mah version.
The ZeroLemon does seem to have more capacity, but it does seem to have issues involving the battery reading because of the TriCell design? Can anyone confirm this?
I suppose then that would be combined with the ZeroLemon case. Unless a mod is possible?
By mod, this is what I mean:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2530547
Anyone try something like this with a Note 4 Otterbox?

The reading issues are resolved with a custom kernel such as Emotion, which is patched to recognize the added capacity. I don't have the ZeroLemon or the Hyperion, but I do have this one and I quite like it. It is an off-brand, but I get exactly 3X my normal battery life with it, so it's legit and a good discount alternative to the ZL if you're trying to save a few bucks. I've tried to fit it into my otterbox but it's too bulky. Supposedly the official ZL cases will fit it though.

Zerolemon is pretty good. I don't really have any complains and I get anywhere between 10 to 19 hours of screen time on average with 12-15 being the average. The cover is very beefy and protective. The readings however can be inaccurate and when I sense this I just reboot the phone and it magically adds anywhere between 5-30%. There are some workarounds but they're a bit problematic. It's best to use a custom kernel that is especially tailored for zerolemon or extended batteries in general.
I switched to 5.1.1 on my 910C and flashed http://forum.xda-developers.com/note-4/development/n910c-kernel-5-1-1-stock-tw-permissive-t3206548/ by shreqg2 and it's working well as far as battery accuracy goes. The downside is that it doesn't have the 5.1.1 stock kernel cpu governors and overclocking the stock kernel provides (it can go up to 2100Mhz on BIG and 1900 and 200 Mhz on LITTLE as opposed to 1900Mhz BIG and 1500Mhz (or was it 1300?) on the 5.0.1 kernel. I guess it's not really a big deal since I've been stuck with the lesser frequencies since 4.4.4. Hopefully someone can write a proper kernel with the recently released kernel source code but I'm not sure. Really though, a lot of kernels have extended battery considerations and I'm just testing.
Edit: added screenshots with the new kernel. Rebooting gave me about 5%. It's working very well so far but this is the first discharge since I flashed it. Looks promising. It runs very cool too.

I'm going to be getting the SM-910W8 as I live in Canada (decided to go with it after the disappointment of the Note 5 and because apparently, according to the carrier phone salesman I spoke with, the Note 5 has been having reception issues and they aren't sure if it's hardware or software).
Not sure yet if I will go with an AOSP or TW based ROM though. It's a decision I have yet to make. But so long as the ZeroLemon has the full capacity it should be good. I am tempted though to go with the Hyperion as it does seem to be a single unicell and I have an offer for a cheap Otterbox Defender (which should keep it thin and protected).
Any kernel recommendations for extended batteries and performance in general?

Happy with Anker's 6440mah battery I recently bought, % indicator is accurate and doubles my usage time.
The back cover is slippery compared to the original.

Hi, i take here my "long" experience with extended batteries for different phones. I used Anker and Zerolemon brands.
Since I started to use my Note 4 (last February) Zerolemon's customer care replaced me the battery (10000mAH) because the phone turned off suddenly after only few days of Zerolemon battery use.
The new battery has lasted working fine for about six months but since one month I still have problems even if they are not frequently like first time (now i'm still using the battery..).
I have noticed that when you press at the top of screen the phone turns it off or restarts and I think that is an issue that concerns the contacts of battery to phone. I applied a bit of tape to keep the battery as good as pressed into the slot to avoid contacts issues.
(Probably the battery is too heavy to warrant a good fitting...and maybe the 6400 Anker could be the best solution..)
However I noticed that even when I can ensure that the battery is fine fitted the phone turns off or restarts anyway. In these cases I think that is an internal issue this time.
I don't know if these issues concern only first stock of Zerolemon's battery and now Zerolemon has fixed the issues.
In my experience I remember that I've never had these inconveniences in my S3 phone with Anker extended battery and in my S4 with Zerolemon battery.
I'll follow this thread because I'm searching a best extended battery for my phone...
P.s.: I use Zerolemon case with clip/ holder
Sent from Note 4 device - Rome - Italy

Ive had hyperion extended batteries, zero lemon batteries, and others and I have to say Anker makes one of the best batteries for phones, period. Hyperion has some stylish cases for their extended batteries which I love but their batteries aren't one piece and more like 3 pieces attacked and covered with a sticker. I never had any problems with it but its not as good of quality as a zerolemon or an anker battery would be.
Anker extended batteries have a plastic back that holds the battery and is a much more premium battery. Also their customer support is superb. My Anker 7500mah battery went out on my GS3 once and I sent them an email and boom they give me a new case and battery free of charge.
Zerolemon batteries are also known for their quality but they don't try to hide the fact that they make brick sized batteries and that's a downfall in my opinion because a phone with an extended battery still needs to be managable and fairly easy to hold but Zerolemon's 10,000mah BRICK may hold tons of juice but isn't practical. But they still make amazing batteries.

There was a battery thats someone posted that fits our existing case. I am unable to find the link. I think the battery was 5400mha. Anyone what the wed site?

Does the battery other than the original battery does not damage the device ?

How can a stock sized battery have almost double the juice?

Well i know that lithium ion batteries are the 1/4 size of lead acid batteries but we already have li-ion batteries on our phones so im interested to see as how they crammed that much juice in there

I'm a bit skeptical between the Anker extended battery and Hyperion battery, they seem to be about the same size and shape, and the provided back covers look to be the same as well, but yet they have different rated capacities? I only have the Hyperion 8000 mAh so, I can't fairly comment on this but does anyone have both?

never knew Anker made extended note 4 batteries (thought they only made replacement batteries). As its not listed on their website.
Anyways, has anybody heard of Dr. Battery? http://www.drpowerglobal.com/drbattery/model/samsung/sm-n910c/css249r.aspx#rp
says it's a replacement battery, but the capacity says it's 3500 mAh. But on best buy canada, it says it's 3000 mAh.....
Also has anybody notice that MYDE and Anker has very very similar description.
Anker:
We wouldn't give you anything less than the best. Grade A cells chosen from among the top 10%. Rigorous inspection tests to ensure reliability. A built-in IC chip to prevent against short-circuiting. Complete NFC functionality. What does this all mean? In terms of quality, you won't find a better replacement. Don't just take our word for it, though - type in any quick, power-related search on Amazon and see who pops up. As the leader in our industry for the last 3 years running, we know batteries.

hey guys i have been using the zero lemon for some time now, i think its been a year now i believe. it started acting up on me after a year, it would reboot on its own, i know its the battery because i used the standard one and it works fine, (im on it now) so i was looking to see if there are any better batteries, i found one chinese base and said its 5600 mah so when i get it, i will update and let you guys know if its a good buy. they said its standard size and it uses a charge of 4.4 but we'll see. just felt like giving my two cents. how is that ebay battery going since you have been using it? whats the amount of time you are getting on it? my main thing is to have it not run out of battery for just ONE full day. I can care less for a battery that stands 3 days since I do go home and sleep sometime and I can charge it during that time.

It might not be the problem with the battery going bad — I had the same issues: constant reboots after a year usage…
However I noticed it would always reboot while handling the phone — I'd put it down on the table, throw it on the bed. Got me thinking it might be some looseness in the contact — the battery seems tightly stuck in — but anyway I tried and jammed a folded strip of paper in the bottom edge of the battery compartment, so that a piece is jammed under the ZeroLemon battery and a piece on its side.
Since then — zero reboots — the battery is rock solid — so I think after a while the battery gets microscopically loose — it being heavy and all — and that causes the reboots. My paper fix solved that and it's been perfect since!

Very bad there isn't a 25% bigger battery like s5.. A battery 4500 ma with 1-2 millimeters bigger size would be fantastic. I don't understand how so, no Chinese sells one.. Probably they dont want money..

What is your phone model number? can you tell us what is your screen on time (SOT) with this type of battery?
