I just ordered one. It should be here tomorrow. I'm going to pop it in when I get home. I will use it a few hours, but it will soon be on the charger for the night.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] FXVIZI:
First cycle, average usage. Just awesome! :D

Been having some signal issues, but I don't think it's battery related.

I can't kill this damn battery! Lol. Amazing! Nuff said
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] usmaak:
I just got mine today. Put it in, and it was at 58 percent charge. It seems like a nice battery pack, but it is heavy. It's over an ounce heavier than the QCell battery and TPU case that I was using before. The QCell was actually more than enough battery for me, but I didn't like the TPU offerings from QCell and Hyperion. Neither one of them adequately covered the bottom of the phone. The hyperion case fit a little better, but the buttons were really hard to push when it was on. So you could say that I got the Zerolemon battery for the TPU case. And it is a nice case. The nicest one that I've used with this phone. It fits well, adequately covers the bottom, and the buttons are very easy to access and push. I was hoping that it would fit the QCell battery with the Seidio battery back, but it is just a little bit too small for that. I suppose that if I really wanted to, I could rig something up so that the QCell battery fits similar to the Zerolemon battery. But I'd have to use lighter materials, or what would be the point?

I really wish that Seidio made non silicone cases for their battery back. That way, I'd be able to have the best of all worlds. :)

Turn on your gps. Open maps every so often and have it find you.

Use an ftp app - this is a big one for drain - and send receive big files.

Set up dropbox. Manage big files up and down from the service, just keep it streaming like with the ftp app.

Bluetooth on. Connect your bluetooth devices (sixaxis controller, headphones, keyboards/mice/trackpads for the main likely to have. A bluetooth gps receiver would be awesome for drain.)

Screen brightness all the way up, auto brightness off.

Find some really intensive games to play while streaming in the background.

Stream music.

....

Or just go play ingress for a few hours, and skip all the above. No trouble getting to 2% in short order.

special procedures with this?

I haven't even received my phone yet, but I have this battery on the way. I thought I read somewhere that you have to go through some specific charge/discharge procedures with this battery? Is that the case or do you just put it in and use normally?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] FXVIZI:
You only have to do the cycles if you want an accurate battery gauge. If you are fine not knowing when your battery is going to die then don't worry about it.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] buhohitr:
Here are the instructions: 1)before use, let it charge for 12hrs 2) For new battery, perform 5-6 full charge/discharge, this will give you extended battery optimal performance, meaning discharged to 2% then charge to 100% without unplugging. After that you are home free and it took me 4 days to discharge mine to 2% for normal use. (Monday to Thursday).

For me, it seems like the battery interferes just a little bit with the signal. I spend the day in the basement of a concrete building. I get 1 bar of 4G, though it does spend a bit of the day at 1X. Today, it won't come out of 1X while I'm here. I think that the problem is that my 4G signal is very marginal and the battery is just enough of an obstacle to make a difference between holding the signal and losing it. But I notice no degradation of signal strength when I'm not stuck in this basement.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] murphy_31047:
Mine is on the way. After reading all this I could not resist. Thanks for all the reviews.

Pissed that I can't yet my android os usage down. Meh
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] ac29593:
I'm not sure, but I think you might be right. I noticed weak Internet speeds even wifi struggling for download speeds. Upload on wifi is still blazing fast.

I noted my 4g speeds a slower and sluggish, but since I have only had the battery one day I need to report back later.

I am pleasantly surprised by the case. Extremely nice tpu. And I am very picky with my cases. The phone has weight and is the definition of a brick, but it doesn't feel "big".

83 pages. Wow. But yea, I've found posts on signal issues.

I was thinking of figuring out some way that I could keep using the TPU case with the QCell battery, and only using the zerolemon battery when I need to be off the charger for days at a time. As I spend 40+ hours in the basement where I work, this battery really doesn't work for me, at least during a work week. I would need to find some lightweight material and cut it out to the exact same shape as the larger portion of the battery. I was thinking something like balsa wood, because it's easy to cut. But I don't really know if there would be any dangers to having a piece of wood in along with a battery. I don't want a fire hazard. :D

This is my stock battery when I was running AOKP 4.1.1

I bought the Samsung OEM 3000 and am getting 6hrs screen on time. Nothing compared to the lemon but happiness here. 12 hrs is crazy screen time.

The gs3 should have been sold with this 3000mah battery. ...and an spen Lol.

Barely thicker but gawd at the battery
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] dshack24:
Anyone else order the 7000 off amazon recently for 31.99 or so with free shipping? I ordered on the 25th and it still has not shipped. Just wondering. I was really hoping to have it delivered on Monday, charge over night, and use it on my long school day Tuesday. It's really not a big deal, just curious, and I guess slightly disappointing. Everyone on amazon seems to ship quickly. Maybe zerolemon has had more orders than expected lately. I have seen a lot written about the battery lately.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] PaulG1488:
I ordered mine on Wednesday paid $33.99 got it on Friday with prime shipping.

Okay...
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] Hulk0069:
Weird thing when ever I reach 100% reboot.it's not really fully charged I.leave it on the charger for 12hrs, can somebody else with a zerolemon battery try see what they get.after your battery is charged reboot see if it stays at100%.just wondering but this battery is a killer over 11 hrs on screen time.

[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] jakereeves31:
That happened before to me too, but it's fine now after many cycles. It would also charge itself while it was sleeping. Haha. I think the phone just needs to get used to the battery
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] mrbracht:
Same here. Had 20 percent left before bed, woke up and it was at 24. Ha. Oh well. Still amazing!
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] jakereeves31:

Free shipping is slow, unless you're an Amazon Prime customer, which is a paid subscription (free two day shipping). If you simply got free shipping because you spent over $25, it'll be a week or two. Sorry to be the bearer of bad news!
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] Hulk0069:
Love this battery tho!!! To think it's the same thickness of my 4400mAh battery but way more juice!! :)

Damn, a friend with Prime offered to order it for me and I said no big deal cuz the shipping was free anyway...wish I had realized that. Ordered it on the 25th and just got the email that it shipped this AM. Guess I'll have it soon anyway. Thanks for the response tho!

Just showing that it is possible to get pretty good battery life out of the stock battery. Thats all.

First cycle still going.

I screwed up and made one pic in attachments and one in forum, first time I attached from phone sorry. Great battery!
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] kude87:
Got my ZeroLemon last Thursday (it shipped out that Monday for those wondering), and my first cycle was 3d 15h on battery, with 12h 44 min screen time, and about 3 hours call time. No screen shots because I'm lazy.

I am running RErick's peg-zen moderate setup on the KT747 kernel. I had to try killing the battery last night because I wanted to charge it! Also, I actually like the added weight. Another thing to note, I plugged it in at 2% at 11:15 pm and it was fully charged by 7 am. Not sure who had theirs take a full 12 hours to charge.

This is a great investment, and by the looks of it, ZeroLemon knows it. They raised the price.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] stupidchicken03:
Well you got it, so deal with it.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] Hulk0069:
In the direction notes it states let charge for 12-hrs first 6cycles

If yours is full that quick reboot see if it comess back full or like 97%

[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] jakereeves31:
I don't get it. Haha
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] burntrat:
does step 1 mean you have to use a separate charger for 12 hrs then you can put it in your phone or have the phone shut down for 12 hrs while charging?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] Hulk0069:
I Think it means use the factory charger that came with the phone , I've heard the factory charger is more powerful then the after market ones.

I just leave mines on regular let it charge

stripped apart rebuilt with Clean Rom&XdaTechnology!!!
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] stkiswr:
Factory charger is 1Ah. Now a note 2 charger, that's a full 2 Ah charger. You guys would be much better off charging that gigantic battery with a note 2 charger.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] Jason Roach:
No
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] FXVIZI:
You will get more cycles out of the battery the slower you charge it, but yes a 2amp charger would be no problem.

These battery's can be charged up to 0.5C (3500mah), but recommended is below 0.3C (2100mah). Lower is better considering there are cells in parallel. Hopefully ZeroLemon cell matched them well for longevity purposes.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] cbrehob:
Got my ZeroLemon in two days with Amazon Prime. It came with a 56% charge today around noon and I've only been able to run it down to 26% by 11pm. It's pretty tough to kill this thing.

I will say this does make your phone big and heavy, but to be honest, that's a good thing. It feels more sturdy, better balanced when sitting in my car. The case is great (seriously awesome design) , only issue I will have is running with it cause I am guessing it won't fit in my armband.

Edit: I cannot believe this but it DOES fit in my running armband. The smooth rubber case material slides right in to one of my Belkin (large phone) armband. Another +
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] kude87:
By charge it, I meant after the initial 12 hour charge AND my 3+ days of use. I wanted to time it so I had to charge overnight instead of dealing with it at work the following day.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] stkiswr:
Lol. Not sure as I understand how no is the best answer. If a note 2 with its 3100mah battery can handle it with 0 issues what would stop this $30 battery from having no issues? Other than it recharging a hair faster? At $30 if it fails in a year odds are most people won't even own the phone in a year.

I dunno. My wife's gs3 on stock battery has done fine on note 2 charger since they become available. Well a mix of qi charging. Its a battery. It will take the charge haha.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] pettigrew95:
Just got mine and threw it into my phone...it's at 55% battery now. Should I charge for the 12 hours now or get it down to 2%? I don't think I can charge 12 hours straight though my schedule doesn't permit it. Maybe 10 hours. I'll throw it on the charger tonight regardless what percent it's at and leave it for about 10-11 hours. Also, I had a hard time getting the battery installed, almost seemed like it didn't fit...took some wiggling to finally get it installed.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] PaulG1488:
I did the whole 12 right away although I really didn't want to either.

So far the ONLY complaint I have is the case. I got the white case and it got filthy within a day. The good news is ZeroLemon offered to send me a blue one at no charge. Phone has more girth to it but thats been a plus for me. Usage wise I can go about 3 days with heavy use before having to charge. All in all this has been a great purchase.

Alright, I think I may have a ZeroLemon battery that is actually a lemon. I have done the charging to exactly what they recommended, and on my 5th discharge, I got the following:

2 days 5 hours on battery

Screen on for 5 hours 44 minutes

Battery was down to 3%

I have only wifi on, brightness was set to 75%. What in the world am I doing wrong? Others on here are getting 3 days use with 10+ hours screen time. Should I ask for an exchange?

I was getting similar results, albeit a little better, using an older AOKP based rom. Just switched to a TW-based rom (Axis rls18) and will see how it goes. Try autobrightness and using 3g instead of 4g for mobile data. Has each charge cycle been like that?
