Was getting ready to get my s4 OEM battery and charger with my 50% discount but ran into this thread. Can you guys provide link to where you're buying from. Also how long does it take to charge? I'm wondering if it's worth while if its going to charge like 8 hrs compared to 3 hours with stock battery and stock charger.

UPDATE: Decided to just get the OEM battery+charger.. No need to reply to this.
[Galaxy S 4 Accessories] GnexusPro:
Taking them now.
[Galaxy S 4 Accessories] GnexusPro:
This is the stock battery
[Galaxy S 4 Accessories] GnexusPro:
Here is the zero lemon
[Galaxy S 4 Accessories] cas8180:
To see the buldge check out video

[Galaxy S 4 Accessories] aznmode:
I can see how it's slightly bulging with the zero battery. I'm not surprised the battery is bigger so it can pack more mah in it. Not too bad at all. With a case thats even less noticeable.
[Galaxy S 4 Accessories] GnexusPro:
Absolutely correct. Ill show you a pic with it on using my neo hybrid case
[Galaxy S 4 Accessories] MR8SIN:
Its only 400mah more. I never timed it but it recharges just as fast.

Here you go. Easiest way to see the difference.
[Galaxy S 4 Accessories] Wiidesire:
On the last photo is seems worse than it actually is. The original and leather cover sits perfect and is easily to attach and the bulge is not noticable for "normal" use, however if you look from the site there is a slightly bulge, I don't know how I managed it but it looks way worse on the picture. More pictures and also a review to come
[Galaxy S 4 Accessories] Cobra01:
Just wanted to know if the spigen slim armor case fits with the zero lemon battery? I'm getting this battery and I am hoping that the spigen slim armor case works with it. Thanks!
[Galaxy S 4 Accessories] MR8SIN:
Itll fit. My Defender's hardshell doesnt leave much room for space and it closes without force.
[Galaxy S 4 Accessories] Cobra01:
Thank you! I have the defender too, good case, will update once I try it.
[Galaxy S 4 Accessories] arcrox:
On the set I received, one of the batteries fits fine, but the other wouldn't without peeling the sticker off. Great quality control, SourLemon.
[Galaxy S 4 Accessories] cas8180:
Just a heads up I brought this to the attention to a representative as they emailed based on my negative comments on amazon. I linked them to this thread and the YouTube videos illustrating the problem. The offered me a full refund at there expense (basically sending me a return envelope) or they are willing to send out two new ones they gave me the option. So those not happy may want to gripe on amazon . the more complaints they get the more they will be forced to address this issue and make perfect fitting batteries.
[Galaxy S 4 Accessories] DonnieDio:
Is removing the battery sticker entirely safe? Couldn't it cause leakage which could damage the phone?
[Galaxy S 4 Accessories] jboodram:
Are we gonna see any reall usage screenshots of this battery or only complaints?
[Galaxy S 4 Accessories] arcrox:
I'm no electronics engineer, but I seriously doubt it. It's just a sticker. If a particular battery's at risk of leaking, a sticker won't help much.
[Galaxy S 4 Accessories] DonnieDio:
Yeah it would be nice if someone could do a real comparison between the stock battery vs the new battery. Would be best to test with something that uses the phones battery as fast as possible. So how about using something like a game benchmark? Like maybe epic citadel (assuming there's a benchmark available). Charge the standard battery to full and with the screen on full, volume on full and wifi on and locked to a good signal (battery saving mode off and everything else off) run a infinite loop benchmark. Get to 1% and take a reading. Then do the same with the new battery.

Just a suggestion, shouldn't take too long to run the phone down so won't waste too much time and it should give us quite a reliable comparison.
[Galaxy S 4 Accessories] Cobra01:
Just got my zero lemon batteries in the mail today, I just want to tell you that there is absolutely no bulge at all, it tight putting the cover back on but if you look at it there's no bulge and it sits tight and snug. Over all very good deal. Fits with my slim armor spigen case perfectly too!

​
[Galaxy S 4 Accessories] GnexusPro:
That's why i made this thread. The other one is filled with people b****ing. Me and a few other people have already posted usage screenshots
[Galaxy S 4 Accessories] cas8180:
Guess you guys for lucky and got units off a magical batch.
[Galaxy S 4 Accessories] MR8SIN:
I got a barely noticeable hump. But for a $12 battery and a $5 plastic back cover. I just dont care lol.
[Galaxy S 4 Accessories] GnexusPro:
Guess we did get the "magic batch" then. Lucky us.
[Galaxy S 4 Accessories] holla420:
Ordered this battery a couple days ago. Cant wait. I see that we lose nfc have anyone used nfc tags with a case on?
[Galaxy S 4 Accessories] xCovErtWolFx757:
This is my battery usage with the ZL battery. I did play a lot of sonic the hedgehog 3 emulator. Also don't know why pay services are so high
[Galaxy S 4 Accessories] mettee:
I know the rezound battery helped a lot in my tbolt, but a few hundred mah could do more as long as the battery stats are as stated, they rarely are...
[Galaxy S 4 Accessories] ericerk:
This seems pretty cool, will they make a bigger one by chance?
[Galaxy S 4 Accessories] icebear8:
Think I'll hold out until smasung comes out with a official extended battery
[Galaxy S 4 Accessories] charklos:
I have been using this ZL battery since it was released and notice the "extra bulge", if you can call it that, but it hardly affects the battery cover/cases from fitting correctly (I have 3 different cases and 2 battery covers). And yes, I do believe in my opinion that it lasts a bit longer than the OEM Samsung battery. I don't attribute this to "magic", and for $12 I am very happy with the battery. I will try to remember to post a screenshot later, but sometimes my phone goes two days before it gets to ~5%, and that last 5% always drags on because the screen dims!! lol Stupid reliable phone! ;)
[Galaxy S 4 Accessories] Cobra01:
For some reason I feel like my zero lemon battery is draining a lot quicker than the original samsung battery, lol.
[Galaxy S 4 Accessories] MR8SIN:
Test them. The feelometer doesn't go too far on these forums. :)
[Galaxy S 4 Accessories] cas8180:
First cycle. About the same as stock for Me maybe even a little less but in fairness it says to go through 6 complete cycles.
[Galaxy S 4 Accessories] frrlod:
http://www.amazon.com/warranty-Zero...qid=1374217052&sr=8-1&keywords=zerolemon+7500

Anyway. This is my second cycle, not sure why but I'm noticing a better-than-usual improvement. Maybe the stock battery I had wasn't the best to begin with.
[Galaxy S 4 Accessories] lambstone:
ditto.

Samsung's official extended batteries are really good.
[Galaxy S 4 Accessories] 1454:
Anyone tried it with the wireless charging cover. I don't really need it as I get like 3 1/2 hours of screen on anyway, but 4 would be nice. Even though I will probably never actually need it.
[Galaxy S 4 Accessories] cas8180:
Second full cycle looks very promising saw over an hour gain in battery life with same usage patterns
[Galaxy S 4 Accessories] ZeroCGTI:
Actually it doesn't. LoL.

My stock battery in the International (i9505) S4. Although I have disabled some features like backlights for back and menu keys and haptic feedback. :)

Anyway, it looks far better compared to all those results here of just 2-3-4 hours on-screen time.. :eek:
[Galaxy S 4 Accessories] MR8SIN:
I already showed results after 6 cycles on mine. :)
[Galaxy S 4 Accessories] cas8180:
Your images were to small couldn't see them on the mobile app :p
[Galaxy S 4 Accessories] rave_nick:
I work at with a battery company. Im about to put my zero lemon on a 10k$ battery analyzer and will let you guys know how good these really are. Should be done in a couple hours
[Galaxy S 4 Accessories] MR8SIN:
Someone on the forums already tested them on a amp meter. Discharge came to 2890mah.
[Galaxy S 4 Accessories] rave_nick:
Just finished testing it looks like I got one of the batteries that have been sitting. The maximum capacity was at 94%. Im getting in contqct with the retailer for a newer one. Always check your batteries kids.
[Galaxy S 4 Accessories] AndreiLux:
I doubt you'll get any different result. I got a mere 4% increase in real-world use in synthetic testing. Who knows if the phone is even capable of correctly tracking its real capacity without calibration.
[Galaxy S 4 Accessories] rave_nick:
Call me picky but I want at least 96%. I put it through 6-7 cycles before I posted. But for what I paid this are damn quality batteries. I even tested it under extreme heat, no damage to either cell.
[Galaxy S 4 Accessories] GnexusPro:
Yeah definitely good for the money. They make great spare battery's to swap out
[Galaxy S 4 Accessories] frrlod:
Anyone who bought the charger, how good is it? Does it connect and and stay solid to the wall? Is it actually fast, and would you recommend it?

Also, do you guys fully discharge the battery during the first few cycles?
[Galaxy S 4 Accessories] GnexusPro:
I have the charger. It's pretty sturdy and light. Also fairly small so i keep it in my pocket and swap them out. Charges good. Not super fast but slightly faster than oem charger
[Galaxy S 4 Accessories] DonnieDio:
Have you tested the original battery?
[Galaxy S 4 Accessories] frrlod:
Battery definitely performing well. But even after removing the sticker, there's enough bulge to make my UAG case unstable (resting it on its head or back on a flat surface, it doesn't stay still as it should).
[Galaxy S 4 Accessories] mrbro0ks:
What's the best way to get rid of the adhesive that's left on the battery after removing the sticker?
[Galaxy S 4 Accessories] frrlod:
Use an eraser. Works like a charm.
[Galaxy S 4 Accessories] holla420:
Just got my battery in today.yaay now lets see how well it perform
[Galaxy S 4 Accessories] GnexusPro:
Cycle it a few times. It won't be good in the beginning
[Galaxy S 4 Accessories] frrlod:
Do you cycle from 100% to 0% each time for the first times or what?
[Galaxy S 4 Accessories] jucytec:
ordered my 2 pack + charger combo @ amazon... should come in handy for my next series of travels...
[Galaxy S 4 Accessories] cas8180:
According to the documentation that comes with your battery it states to fully cycle to 1% six times.
[Galaxy S 4 Accessories] Greg2013:
Will the stock phone case work with tmobiles Gs4 with the 3000 mah battery. Thanks
[Galaxy S 4 Accessories] GnexusPro:
Yeah. I did about 5 times and I'm getting decent battery now. About 5 hours screen time.
[Galaxy S 4 Accessories] Cobra01:
So far getting pretty good battery life, btw these battery times are good for me, not done with all 6 cycles too.
[Galaxy S 4 Accessories] cas8180:
This seems to be the norm looks like most people are gainning an hour or in. Battery life.
[Galaxy S 4 Accessories] Xiao Joy:
yeah, it's a good idea. and I've tried it. and it helps restore the power.:good:
[Galaxy S 4 Accessories] Cobra01:
This is my battery time with my the original samsung battery, as you see,the the battery time with the zero lemon makes a huge different for me, so far in my 4th cycle with the zero lemon, both using the same features, same brightness, and both heavy usage of chrome and games.
[Galaxy S 4 Accessories] GnexusPro:
My battery is running amazingly now. Got 5 and a half hours on screen today!!Sorry accidently posted one wrong screen shot
[Galaxy S 4 Accessories] GnexusPro:
This is the correct screen shot guys
[Galaxy S 4 Accessories] t6nu:
Where could I buy it in Europe? I just need a single battery, no charger. I could have it shipped from US amazon or ebay but the shipping would be double the price of the battery.
[Galaxy S 4 Accessories] Cobra01:
Damn your so lucky, good times too, mines only up to 4 hours so far screen time but I got more time in sleep mode.
[Galaxy S 4 Accessories] GnexusPro:
It's awesome man. I just hit about 5 hours 47 minutes screen on time today
[Galaxy S 4 Accessories] Cobra01:
It just gets better and better... its amazing!
[Galaxy S 4 Accessories] Cobra01:
Wait wth something happened to my battery, im now getting exactly 4 hours of screen time and 8 hours of sleep mode, NOOOOOOOOOOOO

Any explanation? Any idea whats going on?

Appreciate it.
[Galaxy S 4 Accessories] Pfeffernuss:
Rogue app/service in the background keeping the CPU alive. Check with BBS/GSAM/Wakelock Detector/whatever :cool:
[Galaxy S 4 Accessories] offdotba:
i have ordered 2 x 3000 mah batteries and a charger, i dont know what to think now.

Are they better than oem batteries or not ?
[Galaxy S 4 Accessories] GnexusPro:
Have you seen my latest screen shot?
[Galaxy S 4 Accessories] offdotba:
i did now, so its great?

i dont care about nfc, i use it once in 6 months.
[Galaxy S 4 Accessories] GnexusPro:
Yeah I have my phone set up decently. I rarely turn in gps use half brightness I turned off the sensors exept for air gestures. I use power saver too. My battery is good
[Galaxy S 4 Accessories] aznlunatic:
Any one else have this battery? curious to see how well they work. Dont really use NFC so loosing that isnt a big deal for me.
[Galaxy S 4 Accessories] hypertek:
Ordered one after seeing this thread last night. also got UAG case on the way. Can't wait. Haven't done any kernal tweaks yet, but im on hyperdrive rom on verizon.

I keep 4g off when I'm at home, and tend to only turn wifi on when I need it. I never keep gps or bluetooth on. I don't use nfc either. Should be interesting.
[Galaxy S 4 Accessories] Cobra01:
Its great these are my times, I hit 5 hours but didnt get a chance to take the screen shot because the battery died lol,

My battery is running amazing now.
[Galaxy S 4 Accessories] Cobra01:
Good times
[Galaxy S 4 Accessories] fromanbr:
I got a defective unit. It doesn't charge, the phone keeps rebooting when the empty battery image show up. Tried to power on/off, no way to get it charged. I even left it rebooting for 10min to check if a little bit juice would help.. But no success :((

Very disappointed. I live outside USA and to send it back will cost more then a new battery :(
[Galaxy S 4 Accessories] Phatdawg:
Well, for a name like zerolemon, there's onelemon for ya. Sorry to hear that, you might want to see if they would bother with the shipping for you under the circumstances. It would be a plus for their customer service especially with you updating us here.
[Galaxy S 4 Accessories] fromanbr:
Claimed for refund or a free new attempt from amazon.. I'll post here when they answer me.
[Galaxy S 4 Accessories] GnexusPro:
That's a shame. They do have a pretty good zero lemon guarantee. Let them know everything including the shipping thing and they probably will send you another. Good luck
[Galaxy S 4 Accessories] Cobra01:
Thats sad, hope everything goes well, they always have that one batch that's defective. :/
[Galaxy S 4 Accessories] fromanbr:
Hey!!! Got my response. Their customer service shows that they're serious.
[Galaxy S 4 Accessories] Phatdawg:
Very nice. +1 for zerolemon's customer service!
[Galaxy S 4 Accessories] cas8180:
Yup another +1 on customer service
[Galaxy S 4 Accessories] Cobra01:
Glad to hear that we everythings all well, hope your new battery is a good one :) .
[Galaxy S 4 Accessories] hypertek:
My 3000 came in today along with my UAG case and generic ebay tampered glass protector. All fits together no problems, my phone is no longer naked . =)

There is a slight bulge but like everyone says, hardly noticeable.
[Galaxy S 4 Accessories] AMDPOWERFIST:
Me and my mate ordered a 2 pack of these batteries and i must say, they are surperb.

I have been following a vast variety of the threads here with many people disregarding these batteries as nothing more than an "as good as stock" but i must say my experience is far from that.

Example:

I went camping at about 5pm Friday night last week, all the way through until Sunday at 4pm when i arrived back at home.

My phone was playing music for a solid 25 hours through its own inbuilt speaker, and also linked with a Bluetooth speaker set that another friend brought out. At the end of the camping trip, my phone was on 12% battery.

I personally believe this battery had helped achieve this, as the stock would have run out somewhere around Saturday afternoon/night at the latest.

I havernt done any formal testing with statistics yet, which i plan to do in the near future. But i do highly recommend this battery. For the price it is well worth the extra 30-40 mins of screen on time and 8-10hours of standby (screen off time) that it provides.

AND the fact that it is still cheaper than a Stock Samsung battery, it is a must imo.

I give it a solid 4.8/5

the only issue i have had, is it CAN be kind of annoying if you take the battery out, to get it back in and the back casing on, since it is slightly bigger than the Stock battery. That is it and the only reason it loses a 0.2 on my rating scale.
[Galaxy S 4 Accessories] Cobra01:
Its a good battery!
[Galaxy S 4 Accessories] danny39:
Mine has a slight bulge. Nothing noticable but may bend the back cover eventually
[Galaxy S 4 Accessories] ghost0211:
Ive been using my 3000mah zerolemon for about a week now and im not convinced its anywhere near a 3000 mah battery. while it does suffice as a suitable replacement to the stock, it still is thicker and has no nfc (not that i care to ever use mine). Id expect more from this battery considering the one i used on my s3 seemded to pack more juice. im averaging 11-13hrs of life per cycle with 4.5-5.5 hrs of screen time with moderate to heavy use- no noticable difference than my stock. like i said, im only complaining because i dont believe it to pack that additional 400mah over the stock battery as advertised.
[Galaxy S 4 Accessories] danny39:
Idk why the line went up in the battery level...if you look, I never charged it.

Wayyyy better than stock. Even if its not 3000 mah exactly.
[Galaxy S 4 Accessories] Taapert:
It has something to do with the battery calibration. Nothing to worry imo. Mine 7500mah does the same.
[Galaxy S 4 Accessories] danny39:
Gotcha, thanks.

But the 3000 mah is doing better than the stock from my experience so far
[Galaxy S 4 Accessories] kanyewest:
charger light stays blue even if the battery inserted is discharged.yes the battery still charges but i would like to know the status.. cause i now have to put the battery into the phone to check how much charge it has. i've had the charger and batteries a little bit over a month...any one have this happen to them?
[Galaxy S 4 Accessories] xmguy:
Personally, I'd rather have 2, 2600mAh batteries that are Samsung OEM than some batteries that might burn my house down. Its not worth it IMHO just to have a slimmer phone or cheaper battery.

Sent from my (Verizon) Samsung Galaxy S4 using the XDA app!
[Galaxy S 4 Accessories] GnexusPro:
So why are you here then?
[Galaxy S 4 Accessories] danny39:
+1 ^^^

Exactly
[Galaxy S 4 Accessories] GoBigBlue:
ZeroLemon Battery is bigger than OEM Battery

Just adding my 2-cents. The Zerolemon battery is slightly bigger than the OEM battery that came with my Verizon Galaxy S4. It's a little more difficult to close the back battery cover. I have several non-OEM back covers and they all fit (including the OEM back cover). But like I said, it's a little more difficult to snap them in for a complete seal.

Also, when I use the Zerolemon battery I have a more difficult time getting the phone to snap into my car dock like the one below.
[Galaxy S 4 Accessories] 1454:
Adding to what the above said. It won't work with oem wireless charging back.
[Galaxy S 4 Accessories] fromanbr:
Finally I received the replacement battery. Took almost 40 days to arrive at Brazil (the mail service here, like any other public service, is a joke)

This one is working flawlesly and i'm very happy with it!
[Galaxy S 4 Accessories] Youngbloodx:
YES! This is happening to me as well. I just got mine last week and charged both zero lemon batteries and the stock battery. It turned from red to blue when it was finished charging. On the third time of charging either battery the light remains blue. I'm thinking of calling them up to see if I can get a replacement or ask wtf is going on. Have you been able to resolve your problem?
[Galaxy S 4 Accessories] kanyewest:
I told them my issue and within 3 days I had a new charger at my door. (Free, ofcourse)
[Galaxy S 4 Accessories] Zoide_:
Wow! What ROM are you running on your S4 that gets you 4.5-5.5 hours of screen time?
[Galaxy S 4 Accessories] ghost0211:
I was then stock rooted. Now I'm running mdob 4.3
[Galaxy S 4 Accessories] 1454:
Sorry to go OT, but are you the same ghost from the rezound forums?
[Galaxy S 4 Accessories] Lither:
When you receive the 3000mAh battery, it will come with 50-60% battery the first time, do you use it down to 1% first then charge it or charge it to 100% first then use it?
[Galaxy S 4 Accessories] js5752:
I just got mine, and charged it to full capacity before putting it in my phone.

The little card in the pack said something like recharge and fully drain 6 times to condition the battery.

Others who have had theirs longer may be able to make some more recommendations.

-Jeff
[Galaxy S 4 Accessories] Swamp-Thing:
I think I´m going to buy this for my S4, too. Sounds great!
[Galaxy S 4 Accessories] Lither:
I'm on my first charge, but why does it feel like this battery drains faster than the Samsung original battery?
[Galaxy S 4 Accessories] blwnv8:
Let it charge a few cycles. I'd say after 4-5 cycles I noticed a good bit difference between the zl and the stock Samsung.
[Galaxy S 4 Accessories] ports394:
I ordered a 3000 mah yesterday. Will give it a shot to see if it extends the battery life over the stock 2600, or an Anker 2600. Trying to keep the phone in the same size so that it fits the regular ebay TPU/hard cases.
[Galaxy S 4 Accessories] blitzed604:
Were u still in the 90 day period or no? same issue happening to me after 6 months :(
[Galaxy S 4 Accessories] con100:
I have this battery and I don't know how you guys can have like 4 hours of screen time and like 22 hours of battery life lol. I can barely squeak out 3 hours of screen time with like 13 hours of battery life. I set the cpu really low when the screen is off and when it's on I have it set lower then what the s4 can handle. Also I have followed some guides for better life that are posted here. I'm assuming most of the battery drain is due to a poor signal at work even though I turn off mobile data.
[Galaxy S 4 Accessories] Brutal Pineapple:
What ROM and kernal are you using? If you want the best battery life in the world then I suggest you use a stable KT kernal and run a battery saving profile/script. Otherwise use CPU sleeper app and under clock a little bit. And use airplane mode while your at work.
[Galaxy S 4 Accessories] hbg_ant:
Good:good:
[Galaxy S 4 Accessories] chape199:
What profile and script for battery do you recomend?

I've only tried a few. But Hydra was my favorite.
[Galaxy S 4 Accessories] apeman81:
nice
[Galaxy S 4 Accessories] worktorest:
The charger is pretty cheap looking and not of a high quality at all. I had the same problem and all it took was just adjusting the battery around and the lights will be accurate again. I'm satisfied with the batteries though.
[Galaxy S 4 Accessories] faiyo:
Since this battery is a little bigger im worried it wont fit with my wireless charging receiver inside with it. Anyone else use both together?
[Galaxy S 4 Accessories] BillzillaAus:
Mine fits, but it won't charge wirelessly as I think because the battery is a little larger it stops the wireless pad from contacting the phone body. I'm going to put a thin piece of cardboard between it and the case to try to push the contacts together.

Also, I got 3 days and 11 hours out of the first charge on the 3000 mah battery, pretty good I thought. I'm using a custom rom though, it's a touch more thirsty than the original Samsung one.
[Galaxy S 4 Accessories] faiyo:
Nuts i didnt think about that :( i'll probably try it anyways
