Actually the packaging it comes with recommends you discharge it to 2% before recharging. Not completely.

[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] pwhoeler:
I have a couple of concerns. Firstly, has anyone actually rated this battery? I'm purchased many batteries that over rate themselves.

The $10 4500mah 3.7V I bought off ebay made my phone fat and only supplied 2800mah.

Some of the Mugen batteries (which are overpriced) fall 200-500mah below advertisement.

And lets not forget the NFC chip is in the battery, and is often missing from aftermarket batteries.

One of the major reasons I bought this phone was because of the design. I love how thin and agile it is, sleek and sexy yet powerful....a harmony of quality and beauty.

maybe I'm just playing Devil's advocate, maybe it's because I never seem to be more than an arm's length away from a power supply, or maybe I'm just an idiot, (most likely all three). But I see some downsides to these batteries.

I'm just about done with my first full discharge cycle on a 2300mah battery. With 2% left my screentime is at 2h20m with a total time of 12h7m.

I've been running the screen at full brightness with all the radios, including GPS, on. I've streamed music for a couple hours of that time. I've also had my navigation program running for the past hour trying to get it down so I can move on to the 2nd battery.

I'm running the newest LeanKernel, JellyBeans13 ROM, and the most recent radio and rpm. I have to say I'm pretty happy with it.

[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] Wrngway:
Question for the 7000mah crew...I read review that stated a thickness of 1.6 cm. 10/16" for us stateside folks.

Is that the thickness of the phone with the battery installed or is that what's added to the phone?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] :
Considering the thickness of the phone with the stock battery is 8.6mm, id say that that is the thickness of the battery only.

As far as I know there is no battery that is the size of the regular battery with a higher mAh. Every extended battery will give you a bulge, some as big as the zero lemon so might as well get the biggest, I just had 64H on battery time with 17H 20m screen ON time, on wifi only (no data) with my zero lemon. It's actually more comfortable in your hand than you'd expect, granted there is more weight but the fact that you don't have to worry about it for 2-3 days is priceless. Depending on usage it might last you longer, some have a 5-6 day standby with somewhat less screen on time. Once the battery is settled in (takes about 7 to 10 days) you might get even better results. I had mine for 3 weeks now and the last charge day one dropped only 20% with almost 5H screen on time. Personally I think it's the best 40$ I have ever spent. No regrets.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] JAPC0:
The size and weight really isn't a big deal. The phone feels more durable. If you are used to a paper thin phone and that is why you bought the phone, then don't buy this battery. But if you would actually like to use your phone without worrying about having to have a charger close buy then you need this battery.

The weight is not that bad at all. The size of the phone is comparable to previous smart phones back in the day. I had a Motorola Cliq a few phones ago . The size of the phone with this battery is not as bulky as the Cliq. All I can say is that it is $40 bucks well spent. Try it out. If you dont like it don't use it. Its not like you wasted a ton of money.

Despite what ZeroLemon says on their packaging, every reliable resource I've read says that completely discharging a L-ion battery is detrimental to its health.

I charge my phone every day if possible, and make an effort to avoid a ~100% charge cycle. Does anybody have a source, other than the sketchy ZeroLemon manual, that says to drain an the way to 1%? Should I trust ZeroLemon more?

Here's one of my sources http://batteryuniversity.com/learn/article/how_to_prolong_lithium_based_batteries

[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] FXVIZI:
You are only cycling it. The damage done by cycling is minuscule. If you want the battery to never ever lose capacity keep it at 60% in a cool dry place.

I'm still havin issues even with a new battery, I have no idea what I could doing differently, I can't break over 7-8 hr of screen time for nothing
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] Lehocki:
zero L

in my experience the ROM and KERNEL have to do a lot with how a battery drains, I mean the setup. I used to play around a lot with kernel tweaks to the point where I undervolted so much that the phone was still stable and fast but my regular 2100mAh battery was draining 35 to 40 % faster than when i was only undervolting 25 to 75 across the board . You would think that if you can undervolt to the bare minimums for the voltages that the battery would last longer but that is not the case. 1. What i did was a DATA, CACHE,DALVIC reset, reinstalled my apps and didn't mess with the phone for a full battery cycle, I even turned off data and wifi and auto sync and everything else and turned things on and off as I needed them or not also trying to use the phone as little as possible. 2.Trying to keep it on idle as much as possible that first battery cycle after the reset. 3. The next battery cycle was when I did some modifications to ROM and KERNEL nothing big. 4. The third battery cycle I again UVed a touch and left it at that and after that it has been running great. I do these steps each time I flash a new ROM and have no problems with battery. This also Keeps me from becoming a flashaholic, I do a research on all available ROMs b4 I flash n stay with it at least a month.

[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] iSpencerPro:
I just got my battery the other day and I've actually had problems trying to use the gps. I know that it was stated in the first post saying that there wasn't any problems but I actually have some. I'm on an old version of clean rom and i'll hopefully flash to bonestock 2.0 tonight. I charged my phone all the way up, leaving my phone on for the first 30 % of charging and then turning it off, but battery calibration only read it at 4300. It wouldn't go any higher, no matter how much longer I charged it. I'm gonna be checking it after I go ahead and use it for a couple more days.

Anyone got a fix or had the same problem with their gps?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] tyleras3:
I've noticed my gps takes longer to get a lock but it's still working for me.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] Ragnell:
The problem for me is that I can't do this, I need to have my phone for work and daily use, I don't have a deciated charger else I would but I'm using a basic ROm with the newest update and Root, This is the rom I'm using until Clean rom updates http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2067261

This doesn't take long, max 1 h to do a data, dalvik n cache wipe and reinstall all your apps. You can even reinstall some data if you have TiBu as long as it's not system data, and try to do this on a weekend. As long as you don't mess around with kernel tweeks the first day I think you should be ok. Try to do it Friday night after work n by Monday morning it should run ok with battery n kernel settled. Then do some minor tweaks to the kernel.

At the moment I'm on stock factory MD3 with LK 2.4 (which my phone for whatever reason never liked, but now running smoothly) I also preferred the ZEUS kernel which ran without any problems on any ROM, you could try that. Don't forget to wipe dalvik, cache and fix permissions in recovery b4 you restart the phone.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] Ragnell:
I've done that when I first installed that rom on my phone, i rarely do dirty flashes, I haven't put on any custom kernels though,ill try it next weekend
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] Lehocki:
sounds good. I also do clean installs but sometimes I just keep tweaking n tweaking n I get some amazing results but then I try to do a little more n mess everything up n I can't even go back to my prev. settings cause I forgot to save it or didn't record it on a piece of paper. Then I get all worked up n start from the beginning (data, dalvik, cache reset ) and everything runs fine till the next time I try to over-tweak, but that's how I learn. Good luck

[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] tyleras3:
Sometimes I stay at 100% for well over 2 hours. Today I dropped to 96% in a matter of minutes with barely any use. Why does this occur?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] thesoldier:
Probably because the battery is never really at 100% as that is detrimental to the battery itself. Once the phone gets charged up, I believe it trickle charges the battery and keeps it between 96% to 98% while it displays 100% (to keep people from wondering why their phone doesn't reach full charge.)

Well I switched ROM's in the middle of my initial discharge, so I don't have any screen shots, but I'm going on about 50 hours, with 9 hours of screen time. I'm glad I found this thread. I travel a lot so this battery is going to be a life saver. I hated having to carry 3 charged batteries with me every time I had to get on a plane. I can deal with the extra girth (large hands), and after the initial battery conditioning I'll only use it for traveling anyway. Hopefully I don't get flash happy on my next discharge and I'll be able to post some screenshots.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] PsiPhiDan:
I got a refurbished one off eBay, and when I opened it the battery was already at 61% (according to the phone).

I'm charging it now, but should I charge for 12 hours even though it says it's already at 100%, 3 hours in? Or should I do like 6 hours only? I don't want to mess it up or anything.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] Lehocki:
Unplug, wait 20 sec then plug back in. Repeat 3 times. That's what I do. Once I did that and hadn't used the phone (it was in standby) and 7. 5h later when I got my first phone call that day it was still at 100% charge

I just got my battery and am experiencing poor signal in areas I normally get a good signal. Is this normal? I'm on AOSP, which doesn't help any...
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] usmaak:
I ditched this battery after a few days for exactly that reason. The battery was an insane powerhouse and I really liked the case, but I couldn't handle the signal degradation that I got while using it. Especially in marginal areas where it would knock me down to 1X when I'd normally get 1 bar of 4G. I think that the battery partially interferes with the antenna.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] LaserEyeballs:
I have this battery coming to my house this week and I'm starting to feel uneasy about the purchase. Mainly because some folks are saying reception is being affected.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] tyleras3:
I haven't really had my signal affected at all. Been perfectly fine for me.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] PsiPhiDan:
I'd say my signal is about a bar lower than normal. I'm at -96dBm right now. But great, but not unusable. Usually would be a bit lower than that. I'm gonna switch out the battery to compare soon. I'll post results.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] tyleras3:
Please do!
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] aypeeootrek:
This issue with signal being lower is interesting. Haven't experienced this with my gorilla gadgets extended battery. But my zero lemon will be here within a day or two to test this theory. Would be a shame if it really is the case with it

[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] Rechard:
Not long after I got mine, I could have sworn I had a weaker signal. I decided to test. I went to various locations and wrote down the signal readings with the new battery. Then I re-installed the original battery and did the test at the same locations. The numbers were exactly the same. I've accepted it now as normal.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] Randy Willard:
I bought one for both my wife and I. It seemed like the signal varied depending on the direction the phone was held. In other words in my office the screen had to be pointed towards the window in order for me to send a text. Since then we have both home back to our 4200 hyperion batteries.

They did work great in Mexico when I did not have any signal anyway.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] tyleras3:
How's your signal? Check for rogue apps
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] LaserEyeballs:
Finished the first cycle last night. Put the phone on the charger for about 10 hours and woke up with it at 58% even though I had the green light indicating it was full. I'm watching the battery drop fast as hell:( I even turned the phone off when I put it on the charger. I'm going to give this battery a couple more days before I get my money back.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] Ragnell:
Signal is never a problem for me, I'm usually 3-4 bars. What do you mean rogue apps

Apps keeping the phone awake and using a lot of battery. It could be apps that keep waking the phone to sync or apps that just prevent the phone from sleeping. Check out wake lock detector in the play store.

If the Mugen battery can at least get two days of battery life with heavy use PLUS maintain good reception (it should...doesn't block that bottom area of the phone like the ZLM battery) then I'm definitely selling my ZLM battery.

Believe what you want. I know that it was affecting my signal in marginal areas. Before installing the battery, I always got one bar of 4G at work. After installing the battery, I got bumped down to 3G and then 1X. Take the battery out and put stock back in and back to 4G. I repeated this test a few time, to make sure I could reproduce the results. Maybe it's not a big deal for those who don't deal with marginal signal issues, but it's a deal breaker for me. I spend 8+ hours a day with a marginal signal.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] podspi:
I know that when I was in a marginal signal area, my girlfriend's Bionic got data service 3G while my SGS3 had absolutely no service at all, so there could be something to this.

[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] mindflayyer:
I had an odd issue during my fifth discharge cycle with my zero lemon. The phone would shut down at 48%. After rebooting, it read 2% and shut down automatically again to protect the battery. I restarted a third time and it was at 48% once more. However I couldn't keep the phone powered on, so my system must not be reading the battery properly. I've followed all of the charging instructions to the T. I did calibrate using an app on the start of my fifth discharge cycle, which erased the battery stats file.. perhaps that gave me the issue? Any help would be appreciated. :confused:
