HILARIOUS!!! :laugh::laugh::laugh:

It was hard to read it from your pictures, here is the link http://www.amazon.com/review/R1RJORD5E24770/ref=cm_cr_pr_perm?ie=UTF8&ASIN=B00BYEMNA6&linkCode=&nodeID=&tag=

Do not disassemble batteries :)

You also get amazon instant video, which is a nice little bonus too. I was used to paying $40 a month for being a student, but this year it looks like it will be doubling :(
[Galaxy Note II Accessories] pmjj:
did not know about the 1 day for $3.99

wish I would have known about the $3.99 I may have paid that lol, guess I did not read the fine print was just in a hurry to buy it before it was sold out lol!:highfive:
[Galaxy Note II Accessories] pmjj:
ordered Saturday, and already recieved today monday at 9:30 am!!

Well I guess it is 2 days, and I ordered on Saturday around 9 in the morning, and used two day shipping from Prime! I am now glad I did not pay the $3.99 I figured they did not count Sundays and would receive it on Tuesday! I just may have to keep prime, have used it to stream a couple movies also. Not bad for a trial period.

Now to start the charging process!! arggg lol. The battery is freaking huge lol, but worth it not to have to worry about finding a plug if out and about lol!:victory:
[Galaxy Note II Accessories] ttabbal:
Certainly not unless you know what you're doing. These things can dump huge currents and catch on fire if shorted out directly without the protection board in place. If they really received it that way, that's a big problem. However, I doubt it. That's a pretty obvious one to catch in QA, even for the most bored QA checker. No wrapper? Not stuck together properly? I find it hard to believe. Anything's possible, but I think it's far more likely they tried to take it apart without knowing what they were doing.

I just want to thank you guys for putting me on to this battery. Running cleanrom with latest perseus kernel. Still on first charge
[Galaxy Note II Accessories] kminatta:
how do people get that long of screen on time? i've never gotten anywhere close to that. i'm at 86% right now after 8hrs, 25min with 60 minutes of screen time. i'm using Perseus kernel overclocked to 1800.
[Galaxy Note II Accessories] opasha:
it's because you're overclocked, most likely. if i were you, i would underclock to 1400. that saves a ton of battery. also, list what apps you use alot and what widgets you have running. from there, we can give you advice.
[Galaxy Note II Accessories] kminatta:
here are the widgets:

One More Free Clock

Mog Music

PowerAmp

Google's What Song is This

Samsung's S-Note Widget

Bible Verse of the Day

GSAM Battery Widget

i don't do much during the day other than check email or read Google+ since i'm at work. i do have my brightness turned all the way up and my GPU is at 800/350, too. i guess i could get rid of the music widgets since i don't really use them that much. thanks!

edit: i was using the Super High Performance script from here http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2119761
[Galaxy Note II Accessories] opasha:
yeah don't use widgets you hardly use. also, i know overclocking and high gpu is fun and makes things more snappy...but if you're on a snappy rom already like cleanrom, it's not needed, trust me. 800 is far too high for gpu and will drain your battery from what i have read. put it to 640 max. also, gsam is an amazing battery widget...just keep it in your notification pull down...and open it up to see what application percentages show and what is keeping your phone awake the most. try to use greenify or a task killer like i do, and kill the app that is hogging a lot of your battery....but don't kill anything like maps that will keep auto opening itself because that will also drain your battery every time it tries to fight you and keep opening when you try to kill it, lol.

i'm about to start testing my battery soon today for the first time, any advice on what i should do? like should i let it drain or just charge it fully first and then start using it. people say you need to charge it for 12 hours...but with perseus kernel you can increase the charge current to 2 amp so it charges faster...should i still charge it for 12 hours? any input is appreciated!
[Galaxy Note II Accessories] kminatta:
this was the first battery that i have ever had (and i have had many) that actually benefited from being kept on the charger even longer than you normally would. it was also the first battery that i have ever had that has actually improved with repeated charges (cycling, as the instructions suggested). i would attribute it to the phone's inability to accurately measure it's charge. who knows?
[Galaxy Note II Accessories] opasha:
good point, thank you for the feedback my friend :)
[Galaxy Note II Accessories] Old MuckenMire:
Plus one thing I've noticed is that a lot of the power resides on the lower end so to say. For example I will drain from 100 to 80 pretty quick then it will get stuck on say 77 for hours. When I get to 3 percent it will sometimes sit there for 4 hours even while streaming a movie.
[Galaxy Note II Accessories] drnihili:
I got 37 hours screen time, but I honestly don't use my phone that much. The vast majority of that time was just running a slide show. Set my powersaving features to ON, turned off GPS, bluetooth, and other stuff I didn't need and just let the slideshow run. There's no way I'll get that much normally, and there's now way I'd expect a moderate or heavy user to get that much.
[Galaxy Note II Accessories] Waden18:
how did that case mod pan out?

I just ordered the zero lemon battery and i have an otterbox i would love to retain my otterbox's protection but havent seen any mods done so far out there for it i would really appreciate it if you could share your experience or any tips (Pictures would be nice / a video)

- thanks

Nick
[Galaxy Note II Accessories] kminatta:
I agree completely. It is the strangest battery I have ever had.
[Galaxy Note II Accessories] Old MuckenMire:
The way I deal with it is instead of watching battery percentage, I monitor screen on time to tell me how much juice I have left.

The way I use my device I get almost exactly 14 hours of on screen time with each charge. Screen brightness 100% at all times all apps sync in the shortest amount of time, etc., I really push it hard.

Anyway, by watching the screen on time I always know basically how much juice I have left. The closer I get to 14 hours, I know I'm getting close to 1% left.

Regardless, I love this battery. One of the best purchases I've ever made for a mobile device.
[Galaxy Note II Accessories] cashif:
I am very much interested but couldnt find any link to ship it to India.

There are dropship services but they charge nearl $20 for shipping, I dont want to shell out more than $50 for battery. Any alternate way of having it shipped to India??
[Galaxy Note II Accessories] KLY725:
Been reading around but seems like there's no clear answer..

Which external charger is everyone using with there zero lemon?

Any input would be appreciated.. Thanks
[Galaxy Note II Accessories] opasha:
the main external charger is the samsung one that was provided because that is a true 2 amp charger- the usb cable plugs into the wall plug portion.

if you want an easier/better way, i would suggest buying the blackberry playbook charger, which i use:http://www.amazon.com/Blackberry-Fo...aybook/dp/B004OZMWUS/ref=cm_cr_pr_product_top

it's rated at charging at 1.8 amp, and if you use perseus and modify the power amp charging, it will charge at 2 amp from what the charging cycle application shows.
[Galaxy Note II Accessories] KLY725:
Thanks opsha for the response..

I should be more specific.. I was referring to an external wall charger to charge the zero lemon when it's not on the phone..

Looking for an external charger so I can switch between this battery and the stock one..

vectron had a good review about one:

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2249269

only issue is you have to mod it a bit if you are capable of doing so
[Galaxy Note II Accessories] vectron:
Actually my friend, even with a mod I'm starting to notice not so great quality of that charger. It works but after a while contacts starting to get loose. I had it charging yesterday, forgot even to time it. I thought it was sufficient for a full charge, but just checked it and got only 78%. ZL guys told me they are working on a fast charger, so they are aware of high demand for it. In theory, there are a lot of wall chargers that accept ZL battery because the base of it is a regular battery footprint. I'm talking about those wall chargers where the whole OEM battery fits in, not the one where half of the battery sticking out (those need a regular battery to be flipped on its back which is not possible with ZL batt). In theory those wall charges can be used if you plug them into a horizontal power strip where it's not hanging vertically off the wall. But all these offer a painfully slow 350 mA charging where you need 2000 mA (2A) to take full advantage of fast charging.

I heard the wall charger which comes with Anker (pack of 2x 3100 mAh batteries with a charger) has 1000 mA which should be great, but I still need to confirm it.
[Galaxy Note II Accessories] opasha:
Good update, bro. I just started my day for the first time with my ZL battery after an overnight charge of exactly 12 hours and 5 minutes. Note that using the Perseus tweaks the battery charged from 59% (percent upon opening from package) to 100% in 1.5 hours and the LED stayed orange at 100% for an additional 45 minutes before turning green. I will drain it to 2% like it suggests and as others have mentioned even though I never do/did that in general with my stock battery. I'll keep everyone posted. Any suggestions are appreciated. I'm used to the weight and feel already, lol. I guess that's what forearm muscles are good for :D
[Galaxy Note II Accessories] cortez52:
Can you please share your battery charging settings? dont want to burn out the charging port !
[Galaxy Note II Accessories] vectron:
It's really amazing of how additional weight makes you more aware of the phone and makes you also grip it tighter to handle more secure. You get used to it pretty fast. The texture of TPU is very nice and non slippery, but at the same time it offers just that typical TPU case protection. Maybe it's just a psychological factor, but with ZL battery I hold the case more securely. Typically, once I run out of lemon juice, I switch to stock with UAG case until ZL chargers up, and then switch back. I keep coming back to ZL, just that extra capacity and seeing battery percentage decreasing very slow - makes you feel like you have a super phone :) Can't wait to see ZL rugged case design. I really hope they will implement kickstand and make it flush with a back surface (at least that was my suggestions to them). I also ask them to come up with some way to implement NFC. I think we all will gladly pay extra to have NFC implemented with some external ribbon contacts going around and under the battery.
[Galaxy Note II Accessories] Bioslayer:
Well figured I'd share some figures with you guys. In living this battery so far... if you want piece of mind this is it.

In running mean bean ice with zero wake mod. I get a whole day of normal usage on the stock battery but I'm not a power user mainly because I was always worried about not having the battery life if I needed it. Now that I have this battery I can be a power user and not worry. Initial charge and usage down to 2% are shown in the screens. Im very happy with the results running this rom. I don't need more battery life than this and I'm fully aware that other rom s will perform better but this is good for me

[Galaxy Note II Accessories] joshm.1219:
Is it possible to run contacts for NFC/QI with a VZW N2?
[Galaxy Note II Accessories] opasha:
yeah, i agree with you on the feel and security. i also can't wait for a better case and nfc support (even thought i never use NFC- nice to know it's there when needed). glad you're giving them input, bro. i'm sure that will help down the road for everyone's sake. haha from 7:20am to 1:15pm i've only lost 1% while the phone hasn't been used much except for instant gmail updates, bluetooth on the whole time due to my pebble watch, and constant weatherbug updates (all my usual app behavior).
[Galaxy Note II Accessories] vectron:
For NFC, yes. For Qi - you will have to take VZW N2 apart :( I have VZW as well, and have no idea why they had to disable wireless charging...
[Galaxy Note II Accessories] joshm.1219:
Yeah that's weird, seems like if anything that's one feature VZW is actually pushing in their smartphones aside from locked bootloaders. :p

I have an 8x (WP8), waiting on my N2 to get here, and the VZW 8x is the only one that has QI. Far be it from me to try to understand carrier logic (or lack thereof) though.

EDIT: I just realized you're Twister lol thanks a lot for your in-depth reviews, I'm making all my accessory purchases based on them.
[Galaxy Note II Accessories] Amd4life:
Just got mine, came with 60% charge. Changed the charging amperage using uneak to 2.1A to match the wall charger. It says fully charged after 3hours.

Do I still need to keep it on the charger for another 8yrs per the directions ?

Not a big deal if so, I just wanted to make sure I wasn't sending too much charge into the battery on the first one.

And by they way, I actually prefer the additional weight. The phone doesn't feel so much like it would slip out my hand.
[Galaxy Note II Accessories] apallohadas:
Ditto to just about everything.

Mine arrived at 59% charged. At first I wasn't so sure about the case because it didn't seem very tight, but there's no slippage and the buttons work well.

I like the grippy feel that the case has to it and the added weight is fine by me.
[Galaxy Note II Accessories] Amd4life:
Did you charge 12hrs, or just to 100%??

TPU case comes free with a battery. Rugged case is a separate product you will have to pay for.

---------- Post added at 06:54 AM ---------- Previous post was at 06:51 AM ----------

When you first get the battery, it is recommended to charge it 10-12 hours. 100% will not be an accurate indicator because battery hasn't been calibrated yet.

Over 1 day 3 hours with 46% remaining. 31% on screen.
[Galaxy Note II Accessories] wase4711:
just got mine and plugged it in with the phone off; I assume thats the best way to charge it up..

and, as others have indicated, the case is nice, and the phone is about the size it would be with an Otterbox Defender case on it!
[Galaxy Note II Accessories] Note_2:
Maybe thickness wise the phone is near the defender, but it definitely feels smaller since the sides go inward.

so, charged this thing up for 15 hours, and started it up this morning; within 30 minutes I have gone to 96% from 100...is something wrong with my battery, or does it take a complete charge/discharge cycle to calibrate itself?

I did wipe my phone and restore a back up,plus do all the normal email checking and stuff, but I was under the impression it wouldnt budge off 100% for at least a few hours..

thanks, I figured it would take a few cycles to settle in..
[Galaxy Note II Accessories] xartic12:
Everyone who thinks there is something with the battery, just give it a few cycles. Most people claim that the battery will discharge a few % in a matter of minutes but would stay at let's say 70% for hours. Your phone can only guess the % so you're best off turning off your phone percentage and quit worrying about it. The battery is 3x the size, it's going to last you for a while.
[Galaxy Note II Accessories] Phogg:
The Anker charger. I posted a link earlier.
[Galaxy Note II Accessories] apallohadas:
Serious claim without any proof.

That Mugen is vastly overpriced. Better to just buy 2 extra batteries from Anker for 25 bucks.
[Galaxy Note II Accessories] drnihili:
I really like the looks of the one in your link, but would like to have the option for a clip rather than just a belt loop.
[Galaxy Note II Accessories] ttabbal:
Then you got a bad one or you're doing something wrong. I tested the ZL outside the phone, on a stand-alone discharge tester. It came it slightly above the sticker rating. It's the first extended battery I've ever tested that does. I have not tested Mugen or Sedio, I find them very overpriced. In the phone, I do get 3x the life of my stock battery. Ignore the stupid android % indicator. It's a guess. The only test that matters is 100% to turn off time in a phone, or a real external discharge test.
[Galaxy Note II Accessories] vectron:
OK, so YOU have been a member of XDA community since 2012 and have 43 posts in here. EVERY SINGLE post promoting MUGEN battery.

I'm not trying to be XDA "police", we got our own distinguish admins and real cops on this forum :p If you want to promote YOUR battery, I could care less. But if you come here to trash the competition with false accusation - that is NOT COOL!!! Just ask a few other vendors who no longer members of this forum.

He obviously gets paid by Mugen or work for them. Look at his previous posts, within a month he posted all the links directing people to get to mugen site. Admin, ban his account please? i signed up just to write this

Another reason not to buy overpriced, fake mah mugen batteries
[Galaxy Note II Accessories] Old MuckenMire:
I have both the Mugen and the ZeroLemon and they are both fine batteries that in my experience live up to their claims.

With the Mugen(6400mAh) I get double the stock battery(3100mAh) life and with the ZL(9100mAh) I get triple the stock battery life.

One is not better than or worse than the other. The ZeroLemon simply has more juice, that is the difference. Oh and the price. Mugen being too high probably.

Just my opinion after owning and using both. :)
[Galaxy Note II Accessories] mhei8116:
ZL is clearly better in every persepctive except for ths case..

I personally cannot justify Mugen's pricing, they are aiming higher profit margin than apple

Oh well, some people like to spend money for nothing, so be it

---------- Post added at 07:22 PM ---------- Previous post was at 07:12 PM ----------

I had few cycles so far from my ZL battery, and i could not be happier with battery life

Note: Phone is no stock/not rooted. Power saving on ocassionally

Typical battery life from my stock battery was 1~2 days with 6~8 hours of screen time

Zero Lemon

First charge: screen brightness auto / power saving / mostly wifi

over 2 days and half use with 24+ screen on time 8% battery left

Second charge: brightness auto / wifi and lte

over 3 days use with 20+ screen on time with some juice left

Since then i am using full screen brightness with lte because i cannot drain this thing

with 100% brightness with everything on i get over 16 hours of screen time, which is amazing

This is the first time that i do not worry about battery for my "smart" phone absolutely
[Galaxy Note II Accessories] opasha:
Yeah, don't listen to anyone saying bad things about the zerolemon battery. I'm a moderate/heavy user. I use my phone for navigation/music (always simultaneously when driving to new locations in an area I just moved) a lot, have bluetooth always on with my pebble or for headphones when needed, gmail sync, never on wifi unless I'm browsing at home (i know wifi on even idle apparently saves battery but I'm too lazy to do that every time, lol), location settings always on except gps (until necessary for navigation), auto screen brightness, sms popup with fast blink setting, Advanced Task Killer Free without killing apps that keep opening up and using it frequently to close apps that I no longer am using (killing system/constant open apps like maps will drain your batter because these apps will fight you and keep restarting). I text a good amount, and my calls vary from minutes to an hour on and off but not too often compared to texting. I also live in a very excellent 4G LTE area with 5 bars always.

I am on perseus 35 kernel with CleanRom Ace 4.5 (smoothest for me so far - might try 4.9 soon because CleanRom doesn't disappoint).

I've officially been off the charger for 55 hours with all of the above having been done at many points in that time period and my phone is still at 77%.

This battery can easily go for 5-6 days if you use it the way I do. This is also on the first 12 hour charge...so if everyone claims that it gets better with the discharging of 5 cycles...I might be able to even push 7 days. I'll keep you all updated...but a battery that can last a week? That's insanely awesome in my book. If you guys have any questions or need advice on apps or kernel settings let me know.

Perseus Kernel 35: CPU:1400/300 (for some reason keeping it at 300 avoids freezes of any kind- odd but true- this is also what you need to do if you guys use the big 4G/5G profiles so the phone won't ever bootloop). GPU: 640. I/O Scheduler: Zen/Zen. LED Settings: Fast blinking, No fade. Audio: Headphone Boost at 63 (57 standard). Btw, even if you put the cpu max at 1600 or 1800 - the battery won't be that much affected...I've tried it. The kernel/rom combo is that good.

If anyone has better/more realistic tips for performance and battery life, feel free to share/add to this. Sorry for the super long post. Thank you :)
