I was getting almost 8 hours screen time with 20-28 powered on with Stock battery. With my Zero I average 4 days powered on with an average of 21 hours screen time..... and thats not the best ive seen either. Been using mine since release and no problems yet and no notice in decreased life.

Maybe it needed to be cleaned? But, looks like it was easier to wave the proverbial "fukitall" wand. Been seeing a lot of that lately.
[Galaxy Note 3 Accessories] d12unk13astard:
Both threads were basically original.. With this one mentioning it and the other actually reviewing it in-depth. Wish they would have just merged both threads into one instead of deleting all our posts and past references of ZL battery. Don't think that other thread needed any cleaning either because we all got along there and we're just sharing our results. Really odd to just up and delete the thread after they have co- existed for many months now...:banghead:

Found this review, it's based purely on the case design which is a good thing because battery life is clearly a non issue.
[Galaxy Note 3 Accessories] pocholo36:
Hi sauron. I use it a lot. My job is mostly on the road, with my phone. I text all day, talk all day and GPS all day (Only on High Accuracy when necessary) WiFi on all day. Automatic Brightness.

Don't know if it matters, but I turn off all Haptic Feedback and unnecessary sounds.

I also YouTube a lot, and I use the web heavily throughout the day also. But I also use a screenoff SetCPU profile (300MHz - 422Mhz) and max out the processor at around 1.574GHz. (More than enough IMO) And I don't wait for screen off, I smash the power button as soon as I am done out of habit.

This was my 5th discharge with this battery: ( Full discharge and recharge while phone is off ).

But I usually get around 4 and 1/2 days. This run through was exceptional though, and I hope it continues to get better if not stay at the 5+ day mark.
[Galaxy Note 3 Accessories] apallohadas:
You do not need to do those discharge cycles. That's a remnant from the days of ni-cad batteries.

Modern li-ion batteries don't need to be conditioned and fully discharging them can in fact damage the battery. Turning off the phone and charging it doesn't do anything because the circuit protection is in the battery, not the phone.
[Galaxy Note 3 Accessories] pocholo36:
Interesting. Well, I was just following the directions on the packaging boss. :) Nonetheless, it appears to have improved this battery's uptime in my experience.
[Galaxy Note 3 Accessories] apallohadas:
Yeah I'm not sure why they still tell people to do that potentially harmful behavior. Well other than a language barrier possibly.

You should see the improvement stabilize after 1-2 weeks as the calibration settles in. ZL makes a damn awesome battery :)
[Galaxy Note 3 Accessories] Mayonesa:
Im sure this has been asked and answered but does the case fit with a glass protector?
[Galaxy Note 3 Accessories] Morlok8k:
yes - apparently you just pop out the built-in plastic protector.

I've getting mine today, according to amazon (since i cant verify the tracking number on DHL's website...)
[Galaxy Note 3 Accessories] d12unk13astard:
Yea you can use your tempered glass on this case, just need to take off the plastic screen. Very simple process :thumbup:
[Galaxy Note 3 Accessories] BigMosley:
I use XtremeGuard screen protectors. Zagg quality and costed $3 each, less then $10 for 3. Still on the first one since this phone was released and still looks brand new.
[Galaxy Note 3 Accessories] Morlok8k:
Well, I got mine today. it came at 59% battery.

I had issues with the battery door not closing, but that was mostly fixed by removing the foam on the battery door.

I also removed the plastic screen since i have a tempered glass protector.

The one thing i dont like is that it doesnt actually snap on the back like the original cover. it needs the front to clip on to.

Also, the flaps feel a bit cheap. but then i'm used to the high quality of my otterbox commuter case.

I like the weight of the phone now. its not too heavy and it actually makes it feel like something solid instead of a plastic sliver in my pocket that would easily break. (yes, i thought the note 3 was too light and thin with the original battery and with no case. it was better with the otterbox case though.)

I'll let you guys know how long it lasts me...

I'm also gonna figure out a way to add wireless charging to this beast.
[Galaxy Note 3 Accessories] BigMosley:
The back is only for regular sized batteries, not the 10k battery, hense the padding on the back to fill in the gap the 10k battery fills up. This case is to be used with any and all battery sizes.
[Galaxy Note 3 Accessories] Morlok8k:
that makes sense. oh well. if i'm gonna swap batteries, i can always find something to put there (since i took the foam out) or swap cases.
[Galaxy Note 3 Accessories] BigMosley:
Yes. When I use the stock battery I use a slim case. Why would anyone use a case this thick when you don't have to.
[Galaxy Note 3 Accessories] Morlok8k:
I'm trying to figure out a way to make a good electrical pad for the QI charger pins. I'm half tempted to buy another QI receiver (its only like $12), and cut out that section, and then solder wires from those to the real receiver. This way it will be in the exact correct position, and i'd be able to attach that small section on the underside of the ZL battery.

the only issue with that method is i'm not sure of the distance between the pins and the underside of the battery yet... I may need something slimmer...

has anyone done this yet?
[Galaxy Note 3 Accessories] sauron82:
It would take forever to charge even if you got it to work.

Click thanks if I helped you
[Galaxy Note 3 Accessories] BigMosley:
Well this battery lasts me 3 days with turning the phone off at night, so with that said I don't see the point in trying to make this battery wireless charging capable. Plus I'm sure it would take forever. It takes on average 6-7 hours to charge this brick from + or -10%. Just plug the damn phone in jeez. [emoji12]
[Galaxy Note 3 Accessories] Morlok8k:
Thats not the point...

I like the ease of putting my phone on a pad instead of playing the USB game. (the lightning connector is the only thing apple has done right, and USB 3.1 isn't out yet.)

since i sleep 8+ hours, and can charge pretty much where ever i am (with either USB or wireless) i don't care if i don't get a full charge if charging wirelessly overnight with this battery...

Besides, isn't the whole spirit of XDA to get more functionality out of an existing product? ;)
[Galaxy Note 3 Accessories] BigMosley:
Haha if you say so. I guys I'm just more lazy then most, I bought this brick so I wouldn't have to worry about charging it but twice a week.
[Galaxy Note 3 Accessories] Mayonesa:
I just paid for this... Overkill because with moderate use i still have 40% when i go to sleep but i like not having to worry.

Plus hurricane season. It power goes out i like to have a back up

[Galaxy Note 3 Accessories] BigMosley:

[Galaxy Note 3 Accessories] MatroxD:
No, of course not. Lol, these things are like tanks.. I just want to switch to another color or two. I have the white model and would like at least a white one and maybe the yellow.

When I first purchased mine, the black was the only option. I haven't checked in a while and didn't want to do the red, green or blue that was available then.

How long for it to charge
[Galaxy Note 3 Accessories] Morlok8k:
I'm planning on doing the same. how are you making contact with the pins on the phone?

i was thinking about cutting some copper bits into a square the size of the hole, and soldering wires to them, and mounting those on to a firm but thin piece of plastic (in an L-shape, for the power and NFC pins), then attaching that plastic onto the underside of the battery. for the wire, i was thinking on using ribbon cable from an old floppy drive cable (its a bit thicker gauge than 80 wire IDE cable, which was my first idea)

as for the pins on the QI adapter, i was thinking of removing those and just soldering the wires directly to the pads, to make it as thin as possible.

QI adapter would be attached via thin industrial double sided tape, and probably the plastic piece on the underside. the new pins would be superglued to the plastic piece.
[Galaxy Note 3 Accessories] amynjimmy:
If we can all get this figured out... Will save on our USB ports.... Lol that would be great

[Galaxy Note 3 Accessories] tbparkey:
I stripped a used USB cable and soldered one end to the contacts of the reciever. I then soldered a bead on the other ends of the wires. I placed these beads over the corresponding phone contacts and secured them with tape. Installing the battery pressed the beads into the phone contacts. I didn't want to solder them to the phone. I ran the wires up under the battery then taped the receiver in the center.
[Galaxy Note 3 Accessories] Pandawg:
Just got mine :D. Charging it now. Just wondering did anyone remove the built in screen protector and how did they do it?
[Galaxy Note 3 Accessories] sauron82:
Just pushed on it until it popped out. If you pull it out slowly the glue'll come with it.

OK...Two nights wireless charging and loving it. I hated fighting the power plug flap and fishing for the correct position for the usb. I know I was wearing out the receptacle. I never search for a charge. I just lay my phone on the pad when I sleep and wake up to 100% charge.
[Galaxy Note 3 Accessories] Pandawg:
On my first cycle. This thing is a tank.
[Galaxy Note 3 Accessories] d12unk13astard:
Agreed and when you find the perfect combination of rom and kernel and settings it rewards you with results like these, my best yet!!

I won't buy another phone that doesn't have Zerolemon support ever, luckily it seems they will be supporting the note line as long as samsung makes them.

Can anyone on kitkat 4.4.2 match these results cuz I'm finding it very easy to just ignore kitkat and stay on JB 4.3 Darthstalker v6 compulsion kernel v9. Only other rom I haven't tried yet is that hyper drive and I might try that next as it supports the 4.3 bootloader and it has insane amount of tweaks.
[Galaxy Note 3 Accessories] d12unk13astard:
Still trying to kill this battery but it's been on ten percent for like 6 hours lol this battery is insane, most batteries get worse as you use them more often, I can't say the same for this zerolemon haha
[Galaxy Note 3 Accessories] Skunk Ape1:
The zero lemon for the note3 it's supposed to come with a rugged case.
[Galaxy Note 3 Accessories] mystik1:
I had and used this for the Note 2. It took getting used to, and the buttons were not easy to press (which I would actually welcome now, since I am all the time accidentally pressing the volume, ha), but I dropped it a couple times outside in the elements, and it was completely fine...and I did come to get used to the case.

I am disappointed in what I have read about their rugged case, though, after waiting so long. Maybe it will at least be an improvement in some way. We'll see. :)
[Galaxy Note 3 Accessories] Skunk Ape1:
What have you read about the rugged case? I haven't seen anything about it.
[Galaxy Note 3 Accessories] mystik1:
Check out the review on here for their S4 version that just came out. The version for the Note 3 will surely be the same...just sized differently.

[Galaxy Note 3 Accessories] mainstang:
The rugged case has me even more excited about a zero lemon for my phone. I have always thought a Otterbox style case with a TPU outer would work really good because it would not stretch out like the rubber outer on so many Otterbox defenders I have seen.

Sent from my glitter pony!
[Galaxy Note 3 Accessories] BigMosley:
Ditto! My major gripe with the s3's 7000 zero lemon was the cheap TPU and drop protection. With a 10,000 mAh battery and this brick case it's going to be awesome.
[Galaxy Note 3 Accessories] weirdingway:
I really wish this had a kickstand. Can I not find an extended battery case that is rugged with a kickstand?
[Galaxy Note 3 Accessories] turbonut20v:
kickstand

i messaged them on their fb page about including a kickstand, it would be incredibly useful, im sure if more people did the same they will take notice:good:
[Galaxy Note 3 Accessories] BigMosley:
I just wish this damn thing would come out already I need a case this cheap ebay crap isn't cutting it.
[Galaxy Note 3 Accessories] buckwurst:
My Ideal case/battery combo

Huge battery

Wireless charging capable or enabled

No front cover!

Kickstand or fold

As thin and light as possible :)

Easy, problem free access to all buttons and ports

Ideally no branding, if must be, then discrete, non-contrasting color branding.

Color other than black.

Grippy enough to hold firmly, but not so much that shoving in the pocket or pulling out quickly is a fight...

No loss of wifi/call signal quality

Icing would be a couple of sim/SD card holders in/on there somewhere. For note 3, as sim so hard to remove, some kind of flattened paper clip type tool as well, but again, icing and not worth making thicker/larger for

It seems like a winner. I had mugen extended battery in my original note. But It doesn't seem to send outside US or UK. If that's the case, it's a shame
[Galaxy Note 3 Accessories] BigMosley:
I emailed ZeroLemon about the battery and case and barely got a response back but they did tell some info on their Facebook page. Sucks it won't be here until the 3rd week in November tho. I guess I'll be having this crappy ebay fake I-Blason case on for another month + :rolleyes:
[Galaxy Note 3 Accessories] brickcityms:

No problem brother I'm actually looking forward to it myself..I had to read like 3 times to understand what they meant lol
[Galaxy Note 3 Accessories] KingGinger55:
Do you think its that or a translating fail and it means the 3rd week? Thats kind of an odd way to put it.
[Galaxy Note 3 Accessories] muhtesem insan:
In North America (at least Canada and US) weeks start on sunday. So they could refer to week with it's first day.
[Galaxy Note 3 Accessories] changt34x:
I think it's the third week because if you look at the iPhone rugged case it's produced Nov 15 but out by the same 3rd week
[Galaxy Note 3 Accessories] nighthawk626:
I'm pretty sure they mean 3rd week in November. No one just picks a date and says end of that dates week. In that case they would've just said due by first week in November
[Galaxy Note 3 Accessories] sauron82:
I just realized you guys are running stock and that's how you're getting such good battery life. I'm on CM and I get about 3.5 days. I got about 1.5 days on my original battery.

Click thanks if I helped you
[Galaxy Note 3 Accessories] bleuwave:
I love cm. I am on it right now and don't see why anyone has to bother being on stock because of the battery.
[Galaxy Note 3 Accessories] sauron82:
I'm not complaining, it just took me awhile to figure out how people were getting 5+ days. Stock is better on battery than CM, although that also really depends on what kernel you're running. I would never go back to stock just for the battery. Right now Temasek's kernel for CM is awesome.

Click thanks if I helped you
[Galaxy Note 3 Accessories] bleuwave:
Which kernel is better? Lean kernel or temasek's kernel?

I'm on lean right now with temasek's latest build...

I guess a better question would be what's the major difference between the two?
[Galaxy Note 3 Accessories] sauron82:
Can't say, I haven't tried lean, don't know what the differences are. Go ahead and give Temasek's a shot. I know it works, so if you don't like it just reflash lean. I'm happy with Temasek's, so I'm in no rush to try lean. Maybe if Yank releases one I'll try it; Temasek's said his strength isn't in kernels, he's looking forward to more kernel devs working on hlte.

[Galaxy Note 3 Accessories] d12unk13astard:
I used to love cyanogenmod on all my other phones because of the stock Android experience and didn't care much for sense on HTC or LG's own skin. But with the notes line of TW being much more mature than what we saw back in the early galaxy s days, it's just as easy to get rid of all the bloat thru aroma or flash .zips in recovery. Even go as far as using apps like titanium backup to freeze unwanted apps or greenify helps as well.

I get that CM on the note 3 is pimp cuz it's like a super nexus device with a huge screen, but I feel like it's a gimped experience compared to what stock offers. Also running init.d tweaks like internalsd2extsd are a must have for me with as many apps and data I have stored on my externalsd. The rom and kernel I use really do compliment the 10,000 mah battery so I can achieve results like this, hell I'm still trying to kill the battery it's been glued at 5% for 4 more hours and just now dropped lol its really soo much more than just battery life that I value about tw roms.
[Galaxy Note 3 Accessories] bleuwave:
CM is a SPEED MONSTER on this phone. Its not gimped at all... What are you talking about? The only thing missing is nfc on cm. It's perfect otherwise. I don't use nfc so don't care.

Also, if I could, I would have stayed on stock 4.3 if I knew how bad touchwiz 4.4.2 is...

But now that there's cm, there's no more worry. I used to be a cm naysayers but not anymore. If you'd like to get started, I'd recommend temasek's v64 right now, which is the latest.

Other than that, the battery is fantastic. I'm loving being able to use the phone to the max and not worrying anymore.
[Galaxy Note 3 Accessories] d12unk13astard:
Sure cm roms are fast but with 3gb ram these tweaked custom tw roms are just as quick and have more customization options imho. Loved the pacman and cm roms on older phones but they were always less stable and more bug ridden than stock based roms, not to mention reduced battery life.. which doesn't make much sense if it's aosp and super light weight rom.

Everyone that bought their note 3 that uses their s-pen and it's built in features knows what I'm talking about when I say cm roms gimp the note 3 to its full potential. You can use apps like papyrus but so what, it's not the same just because you can use that app on cm.

Will aftermarket USB 3.0 cables work with this case?
[Galaxy Note 3 Accessories] Morlok8k:
My amazon basics 3.0 cable works fine. http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B008EQZ25K/

Its much nicer than the original cable, which didn't charge depending on its position.
[Galaxy Note 3 Accessories] Morlok8k:
I have added wireless charging to my zerolemon battery.

I bought 2 QI receivers (http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00GYLJE1U/)

I bought two so i could cut out the sections with the pins. this way i would know that the pins were in the correct locations.

I got some old floppy drive ribbon cable. (Its the old 34 connection cable, 28 AWG). This was chosen over the smaller 80 wire (but 40 pin) IDE aka PATA cable. This is smaller wire (30 AWG), and would have fit better, but could not handle the power.

30 AWG wire can only handle 0.5 Amps. 28 AWG wire is bigger and can handle 1.4 Amps.

Since my QI receiver is rated for an output of 600 mA (or 0.6 Amps), the 30 gauge wire is too small. At least for the power wires. i don't know what the NFC takes, but it would be much less than the power wires, so i could have used the 30 AWG for just the NFC connection.

i got my standard battery, placed a QI receiver on it, positioned everything, and made marks on the receiver where I needed to cut.

I removed all the stickers from the receiver. I also superglued a bit of thin clear plastic (a window from some product packaging), to reinforce the corner section.

then i cut out the pin section of the card. This left me with a couple resistors on the top of the card. i removed those, just in case.

I soldered my ribbon cable to the 4 pins. (this was annoying as the pins are soldered on as well, and could easily move). I also used a small amount of superglue to keep the ribbon in one position on the card.

i used thin industrial 2-sided tape, to attach the pins to the correct location on the back of the battery. this was annoying, and difficult to line up.

then on my second receiver, i removed the pins with my soldering gun, and added my wires (making sure the right wire went to the right location). this was pretty easy.

I used more 2-sided tape to attach the 2nd receiver to the center of the battery, and tested it on the charger. it worked, and was pulling ~900 mA!

I then tested the NFC by transferring a image to another Note 3 (totally stock) owned by my friend.

I later secured my wires on the top of the battery with a bit of electrical tape. i also covered the solder joints i made on the 2nd receiver with electrical tape, so they wouldn't dig into the battery over time.

It would be nice if zerolemon built in a QI charger into their battery. It would be easy to do, and it would be fairly simple to add the needed pins on the bottom of the battery.

I'll post pictures later. I cant really take photos of it with my Note 3, when its installed on my Note 3.
