No apologies needed. I'm not upset! My pic is my cat so how can anyone know? lol

I've been using the battery for about a month now.

I am very happy to report that my draining issue stopped after updating yesterday. Whether or not people want to believe it, there must be something that didn't install properly or optimize or something just the same as you sometimes have a bad flash with a custom ROM which would explain why some people were having battery issues after the LTE mb4 update and others were fine.

My battery was at 86% when I started the update and 84% when the update was done and still 84% hours later after my nap. (I don't get much sleep at night lol)

When I went to bed last night it was 74% and when I got up at 6am still 74%! It's 12:39 now and I'm still at 63%.

Needless to say I am VERY happy to have my "normal" note 2 battery life back!!!

I got mine on Monday may 20, charged it that night and started using it.

It's been a little over a month and if anything it's gotten better. Especially now that my strange battery drain seems to be fixed!

Just plugged in at 5%. I wish I had just charged it overnight but I wanted to see how far it'd go now that it wasn't randomly draining. Now I have to wait for it to charge....I'll probably just pull it whenever I'm ready to go out.

No more testing now. I'm just going to use it!!

[Galaxy Note II Accessories] wase4711:
I've had mine for almost 2 months, and I think its even better than it was the first week or so; most batteries take a few charges to settle in..

just buy the damn thing; its the best 40 bucks you will ever spend on this phone...
[Galaxy Note II Accessories] planetbeen:
I plugged it in after my last post a little after 12 noon. Now it's 1pm and it's already at 49%! I wonder if that's accurate... maybe it's going to continue to charge for several hours after it reads 100%. I know it usually goes a while at 100% with the red light before it finally turns green so this is going to be interesting.

At this rate it's going to think it's at 100% after only 2 hours of charging. I said I was done testing this thing and I'm just going to pull it from the charger whenever I was ready to go out but now I'm tempted to keep "testing" and see how long this charge actually takes til it reaches green led.

This battery is bringing out all my addictive tendencies....and I say to myself, JUST USE THE DARN THING! ENJOY IT! :)

yeah i never pa at attention to the percentage when or led when i charge it, i just know is 9300 mah and i have a 2amp charger so i keep it plugged in 8 hours for good measure, should only take about 7 though.

---------- Post added at 02:27 PM ---------- Previous post was at 02:18 PM ----------

I've had mine for about a month and a half, I've only noticed better performance since then when I first got it.

All I know is that when I'm using the ZL, no matter what, it will not die in one day. I tried, I really did. I keep my screen at full brightness, processor OC'd to 1920mhz with performance governor, home screens heavy with widgets and live wallpaper, playing games, streaming youtube and netflix, running benchmarks, no wifi just lte... lowest I could get it to in 24 hours was 30%. It's just insane.

I think I might buy this battery, my Note 2 dies after 6 hours of being at work since it is constantly looking for network coverage.
[Galaxy Note II Accessories] degeiso:
Ya if your in an area where you barely get LTE coverage and it constantly bounces back and forth from 3g/4g to LTE that can drain battery quick.. There are fixes like setting your device to 3g only I believe through a menu? Someone else may chime in on this as I can't remember exactly, if I figure out what post I saw it on I will post it here.

[Galaxy Note II Accessories] LittleRedDot:
While it's true that regular cycles will degrade the overall capacity I don't think you will loose 300 mAh in 6 months. It is estimated that this type of battery loses 10-20% every 1,000 cycles. How many times are you going to charge this battery in 6 months??

What are your screen settings? Are you using a custom rom? Mine dies quickly with the screen set to full brightness.
[Galaxy Note II Accessories] kalanyon:
I got the battery when it first came out. Played world at arms pretty heavy today. Screen on max settings. I pretty much drain the battery to between 5% & 15%. And switch to my anker 6200. So I use it every other day pretty heavy or more. WiFi most of the time with 4g off and blue tooth off. Phone doesn't sleep much. The second three pics were from when I first got the battery. Has it been three months already.
[Galaxy Note II Accessories] sshafranko:
Pretty good. Not much screen time so far but still awesome and 21% left!!!! Wow i love this thing. Here mine so far and this is my third charge cycle...

Does the battery life get better after a few cycles? Just curious what you guys who had it for a while noticed. Either way im happy with it just curious as to what i can expect. Also how low do you go before charging again? Thanx

What does it mean :

"Recharge battery once every month"?

It's a joke?
[Galaxy Note II Accessories] Asquared:
I just received my Zero Lemon battery yesterday, and I too was wondering about that. This advice is probably intended for those people who won't / don't use the battery that often, or who don't let it deplete to the 1 to 2% level before recharging it. I would think that if any rechargeable battery just sits around and doesn't get used -- or it never fully discharges -- it's not a good thing for the long term health and effectiveness of the battery. It would help its cells to occasionally drain and recharge it.
[Galaxy Note II Accessories] sfsilicon:
Thanks for your settings. My first run only lasted 2 days with the screen on full brightness (see attached pic). I can see the battery drop 1% when I'm browsing and have the screen on full brightness. I attached my battery chart and could not really see anything out of the ordinary except for the high screen usage.

My second run with auto brightness on is doing better (1d 19h @ 31%), but screen is still the highest battery consumer.

I'm thinking of formatting my cache and wiping dalvic using TWRP to see if helps. I installed Frosty jb v8 with full wipe with the stock battery before I got my ZL. I didn't do anything special after installing my zl. Next step would be to flash a new rom (thinking jedi master + exfat compliant kernel -> need wifi calling + 64gb sd) since frosty jb is no longer supported.

Any suggestions to improve battery life are appreciated.

Install Greenify from playstore donate version and follow instructions and thread to get beta 6 version. You can hibernate power hungry apps such as facebook and maps and i promise you that you will see a huge difference in battery consumption and it frees up around 250mb of running ram. Follow the thread for it listed in the playstore or pm me if you cant find an anwser and i will help you as much as i can. I had it for about 2 months now so i dont know everythi g about it but i do know most of it since i read through the entire thread. Good luck

I downloaded greenify and have it running on my note 2 now. I enabled greenify control on fb and maps per your rec. Starting my 3rd run on my zl, second run was about the same as the 1st - 2d+ on regular use with screen on auto vs full brightness on 1st. Hope to see an improvement or I'll switch to a new rom or do a fresh install. Also wondering if zl has any correlation between the zl battery lasting only 2 days and it being defective - e.g. zl consists of 3 reg bats strapped together, could one be defective reducing capacity by 1/3?
[Galaxy Note II Accessories] sshafranko:
Everything ive read siggests that you need to cycle it 5 to 6 times before you start seeing real readings and great life. Your battery may say you have 20% left but you may really have 40%. I thing the phone has to learn the battery and its life cycle and it takes a few charges. My first 2 cycles my battery went from 100 to 90 in a matter of minutes and than it would slow down drastically. Now on the 5th cycle that isnt happening anymore. Give it a chance.

Also go into your settings manage apps running and see what is running in there. Chances are you have a few things running you dont need. Sometimes when you open an app such as internet in the background it will also open playstore and gmail for example. I have a lot of apps greenifyed such as gmail allshare chrome google services play store etc... Also go into your shortcuts and install the hiberbate apps shortcut somwhere on your home screen. Every time i say use the internet and when im done and about to put the phone to sleep i tick the hybernate icon and it puts to sleep all open apps in that session before going to sleep. Good luck

It's mentioned in this thread and/or the other huge thread at least a couple times.

Mine does it too. It will turn green when it's really done. Anywhere from 30 mins to 2 hours for me. I think it's usually closer to 1hr.

The performance of this sounds great. But in the cell phone industry with a release of mid to end of April, they are behind. This phone has been out for a while. I know I already have the Anker 6200mah battery and get 2 days of very heavy use out of it and still have 10%-20% left when I do recharge it. So unless the heavy duty case they come up with is equal to the otterbox defender, I will most likely stick with me Anker.

That battery looks absolutely awesome! I seriously think I'll buy it once it comes on the market!

Be glad you didn't have a Bionic. I had one before I got my Note 2 and Omg. I even had the extended battery and was lucky to get 6 to 7 hours of use out of it. I will never buy a phone when it first comes out again after that one. Lol.

Looks like I might get a review unit to torture. and I will torture it for you guys :) man. can you imagine 3 days or "hard core" usage or 2 WEEKS of low power usage !!

its going to be fascinating to see if its actually possible to squeeze 2 weeks of lower power usage out of it. Looking forward to more rugged cases. in fact the TPU case they offer is fine just "too loose" needs to be genuinely difficult to install and remove so that it won't move or any such thing on its own.

it like a spec or uag case. a real "pop" its on kind of thing AND the NFC needs to be dealt with!
[Galaxy Note II Accessories] d12unk13astard:
2 weeks? Lol maybe 5-7 days is more realistic and that would still be phenomenal for low use no charge inbetween.
[Galaxy Note II Accessories] nerys71:
I have gone 4+ days with "low usage minimal settings calls only" type usage. (traveling) and still had over 20% of the battery left.

if I actually disabled everything including background sync and mobile data I bet you could get 5 or 6 days usage with a few minutes calling daily No problem.

so triple the battery and yes 2 weeks becomes quite viable. in a "pinch" where you are actively conserving power yeah its possible.

this would get you 4 days "heavy" usage easily. now uber heavies who deplete this phone in less than a day ok maybe 2 days but only very few people use them quite that heavily.

I've experienced the phone charging even when the battery indicator is at 100%. Also when you turn off the phone and plug in the charger it always goes an extra bit. I've read several post that this is not a good thing to do and unnecessary, but the two previous data points are consistent for me over many batteries and indicates that the only charging limit that should be accurate is when the battery IC tells you it is fully charged. The phone should be reading the battery info and making decisions on that. On my side I will always wait till the LED turns green and I get the charged confirmation. I will continue to unplug the battery and turn off the phone and charge again. I would make sure that you do this only once per charge cycle and monitor the temperature of the battery.
[Galaxy Note II Accessories] apallohadas:
And the extra charging shenanigans are completely unnecessary.

At the point when the phone says "charged" it's just trickle charging then. Even when the red light turns green, it's still trickle charging, just at a slower rate than before. At best you're looking at a few practical minutes of real-world usage time. All that from doing a dance of turning the phone off in the attempt to fool the battery's IC.

[Galaxy Note II Accessories] apallohadas:
The appearance of drain rate isn't very linear. So for now, you might fly from 100 to 90 pretty quick, then chill at 90 for a while.

My absolute HUGE bit of advice is to stop watching the meter and just use the phone for a week, then start looking for numbers. Just use it as normal and don't start downloading a billion apps that all have background processes running.

Now that we have this battery that can give us more juice, it's tempting to start USING more juice for unnecessary apps.
