Sorry I should have mentioned I used eBay amazon showed 2 day shipping but ebay for 5 bucks more had 1 day shipping, it's Bastex just there ebay store not amazon, thanks though.

I found a number for these clowns they told me they don't provide one day shipping, I told them I had a screen shot showing they offered it, they then asked for the screen shot and said they would get back to me. I told them I had proof they offered it even if it was a mistake I paid money for an option they offered and have proof.
[Galaxy Note 3 Accessories] jaycb420:
I contacted bastex wireless via email from the seller info amazon gave me. Made a formal complaint for late shipping. I paid expedited to Canada and package was 4 days late. They fully refunded the shipping cost after one phone call. Money was deposited a week later.

I must say. There shipping sucks. But customer service was stellar.

So I've had my ZL battery for almost two weeks. The day after I received it I charged it fully once then hopped onto a plane for 16 hours.

I had access to an outlet, but didn't find it necessary to charge the battery through the entire flight, nor did I charge it when I was on a 7 hour layover in Hong Kong! Granted, I did not use the phone 100% of the time since I slept/drank/watched movies on the plane, but during the layover, I used the GN3 quite a bit. Internet, Yelp, Navi, etc and I still had 20% battery for the 1.5 hr flight to KL.

By the time I checked into my hotel, my battery was finally down to 5% and I tried my hardest to drain it to 0, but was unable to.

Needless to say, I'm more than impressed by this thing!

I do have one thing to add to this conversation. The ZL case fits over the Spigen magnetic closure for the OEM S-View case. It's a little harder to press the power button due to this, but I don't mind since I swap back and forth between the ZL and the Samsung S-View cover.

It's a great battery. I just realized that it is too big for my tastes. I like my otterbox better and can make it over a day with the stock battery.

I look up to people who can survive one day on stock. I can not imagine life without this battery anymore. I get 2 full days with this

I just got mine today. It's nice to have this battery back. ZL worked great on my GN2. I don't expect it to be any different on my GN3.
[Galaxy Note 3 Accessories] tdd2:
GREAT battery, crap case...

Well, after thoroughly testing the ZL battery and case for the last 2+ months I've decided to move on.

I originally bought this for back-country camping/hiking/paddling trips to use in place of an external battery pack, so I wouldn't have to worry about a dead battery in the middle of no-where, and the ZL battery itself really is a wonder! Lasts for days with nominal use, a week or more with light use - it is AWESOME.

Having said that . . .the included (and required) case is, well crap. At first it seemed a lot like an Otterbox, but of lesser materials, even developing a break last month where it thins out for finger access to remove the battery. I contacted Bastex, and after several picture containing emails, they said that as long as I was willing to ship it back (at my cost), they would replace it (ship the entire unit back - not just the broken piece).

I hedged and decided to super glue the break, and move on without the extra expense, ridiculous shipping times of theirs and the hassle.

Then the other day, it fell from waist high while outside (25 ° cold weather) and landed on the ground on it's bottom right corner - opposite where the original break was.

I inspected the phone and case briefly, and all seemed well. The rubber cover was un-scuffed, and the phone was undamaged. It did it's job protecting the phone, but most cases - including silicone skins - would have done that in a 3' fall.

However, later that evening I took the ZL apart to inspect it, and found the already brittle plastic housing had shattered. Not cracked - shattered. I've dropped my Otterbox several times (a few from much higher - don't ask), and it storms along like a trooper - never a hint of damage.

I knew from day one that this was an inferior case over a superior battery, but the trade off of having to worry about damage and/or having to replace the plastic casing any time there is a marginal drop just won't work for me.

Back to the incredibly built Otterbox Defender (I can use QI charging/NFC/etc with that case now anyway) and I'll just carry a back up battery pack as I used to.

Great battery, crap case - up on the block it goes . . .

Cheers'

I have this battery for 2 months and I am very pleased with it.Great battery life indeed(aprox.3,4 days with 20-22 hours screentime)

But last days I ocured a problem.I put the phone to charge at 23.00 in the evening. Next day at 08.00 the led light was still red and battery percentage only 70% !!!

Unpluged cable then pluged again and waited to charge till 100%... but the led indicator was still red instead of green.

I unpluged cable and started to use my phone normally but in 1 hour percentage dropped to 80%.After that my percentage started to act normally.

These are the facts and I presume that something went wrong with charging.

Does anybody have any ideea about what happend? or

Did anyone happend the same?

Did you fully discharge/recharge 6 times like it says on the battery when you first got it? It may not be conditioned properly... if you did I'd contact ZeroLemon and use that warranty...
[Galaxy Note 3 Accessories] OMG-FFS:
LOL, there are 106 pages of comments regarding usage of said battery.

Is it the best? Depends what is the best for you. If you ask if it the biggest then the answer is YES!
[Galaxy Note 3 Accessories] jaycb420:
I vote the best does exactly what it says it does. Decently protects and the battery itself is outstanding. Almost unbelievably good.

If you like the idea of getting 2-3 days of battery with 20 hours screen on, with a case that also protects as well or better than most cases on the market. This is the product for you.
[Galaxy Note 3 Accessories] autophone:
not sure this has been asked before, but is there an alternative back cover which is a more conventional battery door that can fit the zero lemon battery?
[Galaxy Note 3 Accessories] unholyfatman:
Happens all the time it's not a battery issue it's just that the battery needs time for the cell to fully charge the indicator will turn green in my experience about an additional hour to 2 of charging at 100% and then the battery discharges at a slower rate and when you charge it make sure you use the OEM 2.1 amp charger and the USB 3.0 cable for the fastest charging. Also if you followed the conditioning rules on the battery it should be charging properly. If you're using the OEM cable and brick and the issue persists then you may want to contact zerolemon the battey cell or the wiring from the contacts to the cell can be damage which is causing slow charging and other discharge issues
[Galaxy Note 3 Accessories] balekutu:
Thank you for advises.

I always use OEM charger,and I followed the conditioning rules.I will follow your advise and let the battery charge for a few extra hours till led turns green.

I wonder why this happend all of the suden(charging was perfect for about two months)

Anyhow, thanks again!

I get mine tomorrow and am super excited..i read through some of the pages and saw some things on calibrating the battery? do i have to/should i do that? and what apps do i do that with
[Galaxy Note 3 Accessories] plisskenn:
1.8? I thought it was a straight 2.0a.
[Galaxy Note 3 Accessories] jaycb420:
the phone limits the output to 1.8a. Only with kernels have fast charge enabled can you push it to 2.0.

The charger is capable of 2.1(stock GN3 charger) but the phone only accepts 1.8 out of the box.
[Galaxy Note 3 Accessories] art90262:
Do they sell a battery by itself? Id like to have a spare that I could charge independently from my phone....id imagine id need a special separate charger as well....the idea of anchoring my phone for 6 plus hours kinda defeats my purposes
[Galaxy Note 3 Accessories] boypinoy18:
is there a list of settings you are using (e.g. BT, wifi off) or not using to achieve the 20-22 hours of on-screen time?

i'm currently at 12 hours of battery life of on-screen time with the following settings

bluetooth on (all the time to connect to car)

wifi on

wifi location off

all smart features off

power saving off

multi-window on

gps on

i am also rooted, and have used greenify to turn almost every push off besides email, pushbullet, mightytext, and some games.

granted i do play about an hour of 3d heavy games, but other than that, i am no where near what you guys are getting in terms of battery life. i've seen people get 12 hours of on-screen time with STOCK battery.

and yes i have combed through a majority of the past 100+ pages, but lost my patience with wading through the lot of "omg, my battery is taking so long to get delivered, f*** dhl!"
[Galaxy Note 3 Accessories] OMG-FFS:
Don't you ever sleep? ;) plug it in before you go to bed and it will last you a full day, you'd have to make an effort to kill it in one day.

---------- Post added at 09:06 AM ---------- Previous post was at 08:55 AM ----------

Mine settings are pretty much the same as yours except I have a few smart features on. My screen brightness is on auto 0.

Download the CPU spy from the play store and see which clock speed gets used the most and also how much of a deep sleep your phone's getting.

Some apps prevent the phone from getting deep sleep and therefore drain the battery when you don't use it. Download an app that would let you disable autostarts for the apps that don't need to auto start.

Also if you're already rooted, look into flashing a custom kernel, they can make a big difference in phone speed and battery consumption. Mine is a n900 version and I use the halaszk kernel. For n9005 devices there are different kernels.
[Galaxy Note 3 Accessories] Kawaiius:
no reply to mine? lol
[Galaxy Note 3 Accessories] art90262:
Of course I sleep but what about those times where ur battery dies in the middle of the next day?
[Galaxy Note 3 Accessories] OMG-FFS:
You can, I did and I THINK it helped. You have to be rooted to use it however. If you're not rooted then don't worry about it, just use it as you would use the stock battery.
[Galaxy Note 3 Accessories] bervin:
Do any of you guys know a phone tripod that will fit with the ZL battery?
[Galaxy Note 3 Accessories] OMG-FFS:
Plug it in every night and you won't run out of juice in the middle of next day. Unless you're staying in a camp in a middle of nowhere with no electricity... But, back to your original question, you better send an email to Bastex and ask them. I've been following this thread from the start and I can't recall anyone getting just a battery with no case.
[Galaxy Note 3 Accessories] diehardbattery:
I can answer this, as I emailed them asking the very same question yesterday. They do not offer a stand alone charger for the battery. Their recommendation is to charge it with the OEM cable from the phone. I replied asking if there were any 3rd party solutions. Surely there must be something out there...

Makes me wonder if the Samsung spare battery charger would work...

[Galaxy Note 3 Accessories] Gack69:
So far, I'm loving this thing! I'm still in the conditioning phase, only having it for 6 days. Takes me 3 solid days to kill it so far. First time I tried to kill it so I could recharge to full, it stayed on 1% for 45 minutes, while I streamed videos the entire time. This should improve as it's conditioned. I wonder though. Would it help with the conditioning, particularly in the accuracy area, if we used an app from the playstore to wipe battery stats once at 100% and reboot?
[Galaxy Note 3 Accessories] jaycb420:
Android does it automatically when the phone is unplugged at >=90%

I've had mine since Christmas eve and originally on my first full discharge my phone sat at 1% for literally 1.5 hours of screen on time. I was gaming messaging xdaing using it normally.

Now months later. Everything is peachy. 1% lasts approx 20-30 minutes. Which makes sense. On OEM it lasts 5-10 minutes of use at 1%

Anybody with temasek cm11 have try zerolemon battery?how's it working? Screen time?
[Galaxy Note 3 Accessories] jaycb420:
I use slimkat which is essentially the same. With temasek kernel.

Here's some stats as of right now.

I flashed back to touchwiz to try a new kernel out. That's why you see the random drop in the stats. Backed up flashed tw played around and restored.

I don't know what you guys are thinking but I'm not planning to switch to the upcoming note this year. Has someone an idea if we can get a ZL battery only. Would be great to have a spare one when the condition of the first one drops

[Galaxy Note 3 Accessories] jaycb420:
I'm buying the 4 for sure. And you might as well buy the whole package for $60. An otterbox is $60 and you don't get a giant battery. Just my two cents.
[Galaxy Note 3 Accessories] :
True, but on the other hand I don't want to buy more plastic unnecessarily. 2 holsters and 2 cases will be a bit over the top for me =D

Also that 60 bucks is 120 for me (read taxes) since I live in Europe.. That protectionism is really a pain. I can come up a 101 products that are awesome and only available in the USA, don't understand while we still need to pay taxes for those

Note 4 will probably be released the same time this year as note 3 was released last year. There has been no official announcement but predicting release dates of phones isn't that difficult, most OEMs release the phones more or less the same time every year.

How long does it take this thing to charge from a dead battery..im charging it for the first time after letting it die and its been on the charger for 12 hours and is only at 63%..is that normal?
[Galaxy Note 3 Accessories] phantasia:
Anyone know where from Europe one can get one of these?

From the US it's a pain, with shipping and probably customs charge as well.
[Galaxy Note 3 Accessories] jaycb420:
No that's not normal. If your using the note 3 2.1a adapter plugged into a wall outlet as well as the USB 3.0 cord. It should only take 5 hours. (Stock is 1 hour 40. ZeroLemon is 3x bigger therefore 5 hours.)

[Galaxy Note 3 Accessories] DEEBS808:
Mines should arrive thursday/friday. Im also wondering what should i do with my charging.
[Galaxy Note 3 Accessories] d12unk13astard:
If your gonna be busy that day I wouldn't worry about charging it immediately for the 12 hrs it says to, the battery will arrive with approximately 55-60% juice left in it. Which should last you easily over 24hrs to 36hrs depending on usage. Plenty of time to use your phone before needing to charge it for the 1st time, really doubt it matters if you charge it right away when you get it. I used mine for a good day before deciding to charge it for the recommended 12 hrs and it was only at 28%, only took about 3 hrs to hit 100% and about another hr to get green (fully charged) led indicator.

Thanks for this review! It helped me decide to get it for myself :)

I had it for about a month now.....

My quick review of the 10k battery+case.

Battery+case are fantastic! I personally love the heavier feel and grip the case provides.

PROS

-easy 3+ days of use

-top notch phone protection

-nice grip/feel of case

-volume button rocker responses nicely

-used as weapon in self defense

CONS

-port covers are annoying and sometimes difficult to open (debating if I should cut them off...)

-power button is difficult to push (an easy work around is to use Wanam Xposed or GravityBox to make double-tap statusbar lock the device).

-fits well in relax fit jeans.. fits ok in regular jeans... god forbid you try skinny jeans

Conclusion

I freaken love it! I burn about 20% of battery a day with moderate to heavy (includes web surfing, document editing, texting and light gaming) use which destroys any other device I owned before. I give it a 8.5/10 rating! :good::good::good::good: out of 5!

Get IF:

You don't mind a heavy phone.

You want your phone to last longer than a day of really heavy use.

You want your phone to be in a super rugged protective case.

You don't mind to keep your phone in this case at all times (case is not meant to be swapped easily)

So expect your phone to be about 3x heavier (Id say it is about the weight of an ipad mini)! Unless you are the type of person who struggles with the 5lbs dumbbells at the gym or complains that the stock note 3 is already too big/heavy.... then I would just stay clear of this and switch to an iphone.

The above review is not including the suggestions below:

I recommend to get

DS Battery Saver Pro

and/or

Qualcom Snapdragon BatteryGuru

apps combined with the zero lemon battery. The results are shockingly fantastic!
