Ok, I'm getting a bit confused, bear with me. I am about to order the Zerolemon but having read thus thread, is it going to be what I need for 12 hours heavy phone use, mostly Bluetooth to galaxy gear, headset, internet and text as well as camera and video recording. Will the zerolemon suffice without messing around with power management? The only way I could get my one X to play ball was to root it with a super lean Rom. I know the zerolemon is nearly 10 times the size of the stock one X battery but experience has taught me that sometimes its not that straigtforward..so, what do you reckon, zero lemon still the way to go?

This screen cracking situation is disconcerting, could a solution be to fit a tempered glass screen protector? Would this channel the shock through the LCD and take the shock rather than the LCD itself?
[Galaxy Note 3 Accessories] wandro3d:
Been using zerolemon battery for a month now. I still think it is the way to go. Im a heavy user myself. With stock battery, from 7am to noon time, my batt would be down to 30-40%, which i would need to charge back to 100% to last me until evening. With this zerolemon, same type usage, i would be down to 70-80% by mid noon. By evening 10pm, I still have 40-50% juice left.

So to answer your question, zerolemon IS the way to go if you are a heavy user and dont want to be slave to the electric outlet. The thought of battery that lasts a whole day and then some outweigh the only negative: your phone look and weight like a brick
[Galaxy Note 3 Accessories] jaycb420:
100% the way to go. I work outside all day. So I really needed the extra protection. I've dropped my phone several times from chest level onto concrete and grass. No damage to report. Also dropped it from my lap to the ground getting out of my work truck. Again no issues.

As far as the battery is concerned. It will last you the entire day basically guaranteed. I'm always listening to music over my Bluetooth speaker several hours a day. Send many emails and make many phone calls for work purposes. Play real money poker as well as minecraft during my slow time at work. Send 100s of texts and bbms. Use Bluetooth to link my Bluetooth OBDii to my phone so I can receive up to the minute updates on how my car is running on a regular basis. And by the end of the day I will still have roughly 40% left which most time I will just push to the next day without a charge and not spend as much time on resource hog minecraft.

I use lux for brightness (recommended) and have location off unless needed momentarily.
[Galaxy Note 3 Accessories] d12unk13astard:
Had the zerolemon on its first batch release, ordered right before thanksgiving and got it December 3rd. Its now been 2 months with the battery and I hardly use the stock battery anymore. I dont care too much that my note 3 is transformed into a brick looking device much like my first android phone the g1. What I do care about is the battery life im getting, the longetivity I get using my phone as a major power user and app junky and getting a great otterbox like case with the battery helps and compliments the phone with easier to holding and grip.

Your looking at 2 days at least on minimum battery life before you should have to charge your phone, looking at previuos posts and other user comments there getting that average and @ least a full days (24 hrs+) screen on useage. It sure is nice knowing you dont need to plug it into a wall like we used to do with so many other phones before this as often with this ZL battery. I cant praise and reccommend this battery enough!! Get it even if you still like rockin your phone slim you wont be disappointed I swear on it.

I'm about to order this amazing battery.

One question.

Should I charge the battery after opening an enveloper or just use to 1%?

How to use this battery propely?

Regards.
[Galaxy Note 3 Accessories] :
Most people drain the battery before charging it. I did the exact opposite and charged it for 12 hours and then drained it with very light use the first time.

Yep that is perfect!! Thanks I know another person was looking for that same view. In a review thread. Now I'm kicking myself for not ordering when I could have.

Sent from my Glitter Pony!!!
[Galaxy Note 3 Accessories] nelonez:
So I got mine today... way before the estimated delivery date... first thing I did was remove the built in screen protector, as I wanted to keep glass one... All I can say about the case is: AMAZING!!!! fits perfectly and feels much better than any otterbox I've ever used.. pretty much the same size as a otterbox just with humongous battery and for the the same price... +1 Zerolemon.... :thumbup:

Meanwhile, how the he'll do I order it from Germany? Link on their side leading to European Anson seems to be broken=="
[Galaxy Note 3 Accessories] anonymous0123:
Can't find it in amazon. Can you send me the link? Thanks.
[Galaxy Note 3 Accessories] shanebabb69:
Got mine today and just put it on. Battery came with 57%. I was thinking the TPU case would be softer like Sedio, but it's more like Otterbox. Nevertheless the fit is good and the screen protector works fabulously. Nice work from Zero Lemon. Big and heavy and I'm sure I'll get a couple of double takes when I strap this hog to my side. Don't care. I got the most awesome accessory that is made for the Note 3. Just in time too since some major weather is coming through and I can charge it full up and not have to worry.
[Galaxy Note 3 Accessories] unitea:
thanks xbryan

case actually looks a bit slimmer than i had imagined. probably about as thick as my original note with a zenus folio case, which isn't bad considering the monster battery that is inside.
[Galaxy Note 3 Accessories] BigMosley:
Its looks 2 1/2 times the thickness of the phone lol I don't care can't wait to get mine should be delivered today or tomorrow!
[Galaxy Note 3 Accessories] cdorrell12000:
Got my battery and case yesterday. I am in love!!!! This is the best battery and case ever produced in my opinion.For those worried about signal loss, I tested at work and home (T-Mobile in Kansas) and there was no signal change it was the same as before the case.
[Galaxy Note 3 Accessories] nighthawk626:
For all the people that got theirs, did you order it for regular 5-6 days or did you have expedited shipping order. My order was regular on November 27 and I was told to expect it between the 6-11th of december
[Galaxy Note 3 Accessories] LJ1981:
Use the "Worldwide via Amazon" link. It's currently out of stock though.

Ordered it from Finland on 27th november via that link and it's now in transit. Will have it next week. And I paid 50 dollars for international expedited shipping just to get it fast! :cool:
[Galaxy Note 3 Accessories] cdorrell12000:
I did the 2 day shipping from Amazon. Ordered 11-29 and got it 12-4 I just purchased one from a friend just now choose 3-5 day and that says 12-13 to 12-18 - We will see how soon it comes
[Galaxy Note 3 Accessories] therockk:
The 2 day shipping to Canada was an extra $30. Which at the time I found ridiculous. But I'm regretting not spending it now. So far my package is being processed in Chicago.
[Galaxy Note 3 Accessories] Natelugo:
Holy crap. With in 20 minutes. I checked and it was unavailable still. And then boom it was there. I got in on this batch. Sweet.
[Galaxy Note 3 Accessories] d12unk13astard:
Just got mine in, i just checked my gmail to check the status of it and it said it was still in transit in Compton CA. Usually it says out for delivery so i was expecting it to be delivered on friday for sure. Can't wait to see what this bad boy can do on a full charge.

The packaging was very nice btw.
[Galaxy Note 3 Accessories] marcus316:
It's back in Stock better order now!!!!!. I just ordered mine
[Galaxy Note 3 Accessories] d12unk13astard:
Just assembled it,I chose to keep the screen protecter on its decent enough quality and doesnt effect screen sensitivity for me. I aint gonna lie this battery and case transform the note 3 into a hefty brick but I defintly am not scared if i drop my phone now. Besides that the case is extra grippy and imho better build quality than any otterbox ive used, very tough to drop this thing.
[Galaxy Note 3 Accessories] Eleveneleven1111:
Is there a car mount that will support this case? Preferably one w/o a suction cup? I use a ProClip adjustable mount for my Note 3 with the SEIDIO Active case but I'm concerned that the current mount isn't thick enough to handle the case. It should adjust to be wide enough as the majority of the bulk isn't on the edges of the case, but rather just the thickness.

Any usage results?
[Galaxy Note 3 Accessories] wandro3d:
I did the 12 hrs 1st charge and never bother to do the 5-6 calibration cycles recommended cuz somewhere i read draining the battery til shut off is actually bad for it. So far a month after use, it is still performing like a champ. Hopefully in 1 yr i can still get at least a full day use.
[Galaxy Note 3 Accessories] :
How much are percentages of losing capacity after one year on batteries like these? I don't think it will be even noticeably after 1 year or will it?

NOTE 3 - Tapatalk
[Galaxy Note 3 Accessories] d12unk13astard:
Even after 1 year the recharge cycles would be less than that of stock battery so yes you can still expect great battery performance. Alot of us upgrade yearly to the next note anyways so the 10k mah battery would probaly have gotten half to a 3rd of recharge cycles compared to the stock battery which probaly needs charging every day after the average users heavy usage.
[Galaxy Note 3 Accessories] \/icious:
i would think it would add some shock protection. looking at the hard plastic inner case there is some slight gapage around the outside of the phone atleast on the s4 version. im tempted to see if i can find something to pad it with as im think about replacing the screen on my s4. At the very least pad the corners anyways. If i can ill definitely share my findings. i could still drop test this thing as it only has one single split in the screen. if only the outside rubber wasnt so very stiff i would think the protection would be just fine.
[Galaxy Note 3 Accessories] scooters29:
thanks, I think I might order a tempered glass screen and have a play as well. We have some fine grade high temp foam tape that might work as a pad. When everything arrives this week I will check it out as well and post results.

Well, ive ordered the zerolemon from texas yesterday. Paid for quick shipping which to scotland cost 20 dollars more than the kit itself! Gets here in 2 days though and still less than the UK price on an otterbox defender for note 3..

Ive also ordered a reconditioned Platronics Voyager Legend headset, excellent value nearly new with a warranty for half the cost of a new one.

Also on the list were an otterbox defender and an extended stock sized battery for my HTC one X as well as a new mini usb socket. A t-mobile monthly sim only is going in it and this will become a site phone. Im evilly going to set it up with its own google id so its whereabouts can be tracked. Had a bad experience with a lying crew manager last year, he was telling us he was on site but was constantly bunking off, cost the business thousands. W@&%$.

A second hand nearly new galaxy gear arrives this week as well.

So if all arrives when it should ill be tooled up come friday.

Thanks for all your advice everyone.

Anyone know of a good way to drain the battery quickly? My battery finally arrived yesterday and I'm leaving on an international trip tomorrow afternoon and was unable to get business class (usually no 12v outlets).

I'm currently at 75% and have been looping MX player for the past 4 hours.

Or should I not sweat it and just charge it to 100% before getting on the plane? It's roughly 16 hours from here to KL.
[Galaxy Note 3 Accessories] wandro3d:
As mentioned in the few threads before, try 3d games like Defense Zone, Giant Boulder of Death, Plant & zombies2. Any 3d games will drain the battery fast. If not into games, try Google Earth and use the Street View. Ur battery will drain within few hrs.

If i were you, i wouldnt bother with the cycling the batt too much. Just charge it to 100% and enjoy. I did that and the battery is performing like a champ. Just avoid excessive heat.
[Galaxy Note 3 Accessories] hobbes105:
This works great. It fits with the ZeroLemon case. It's very solid and well made. Probably the best car mount that I've ever used.

Still waiting on mine. Amazon says it is due between 15th and 18th. I have asked the seller to confirm that it has been despatched. We've paid for express mail to the UK which cost more than the items. If it's sitting around in the post room I won't be amused.

After a few weeks I've decided I love mine.

I bought it to give me 4 hours onscreen time with heavy use as a flight computer. Can't change batteries and external is a pain.

Got used to it and now use it all the time. Yep is a brick but it fits in my pocket and I now only bother to charge every couple of days. Never worry about running out of juice.

Thanks for the thread.

[Galaxy Note 3 Accessories] scooters29:
Well my one just arrived. Only one day late from express international shipping so given the stories on the thread I'm impressed as had given up hope of this week anyway.

Initial thoughts...case is better than I expected, the holster clip is very strong and those with hand weakness or arthritis could struggle to release it from the holster. I have arthritis in my left hand do will wear this on my right hip at work next to my leatherman. Battery is whopping and turns it into a real brick especially as I've been using the sleek phone in its unmodified form. I expect that on suit days rather than on site days I may well return it to initial configuration. So far I'm impressed. Thanks again to.the op for highlighting thus item and reviewing it.

The instructions to condition the battery cell advised you fully charge it then discharge normally so you could have charged it from the starting percentage and been fine for reference I attached my first discharge of my battery I am a heavy user with tether video streaming and a bunch of back ground processes for apps that i utilize among other things so yeah it wasn't too bad

I got my zerolemon in the first batch available and still going strong. Average 21 hours of screen time and about 3.5 days each charge. I tried once since purchasing to rock out stock slim style and hated it. I kept wishing I had the other half of my phone. Bottom line I will always have a zerolemon on my phones and will not upgrade with out it being an option.

What's the best way to get in touch with Bastex for the people that's had shipping problems with them? I paid to have mine overnighted on Saturday, it was a little to late so they it wouldn't get sent until yesterday. Well just checked tracking they sent it off at 5:55 PM and sent it 2 day flat rate, not the overnight 1 day express I paid for, what a joke why zerolemon use these guys to push there products?

Purchased it through there ebay store btw, they offered the 1 day shipping for 5 bucks more than amazons 2 day shipping.
