ZeroLemon has knocked it out of the park again! This case and battery is simply outstanding. The case is solid & equivalent to a “Defender” case from another well-known company but you don’t have to shell out a whopping $60 just for the case. You get an amazing case and an INSANE 8500 mAh battery (more than 3x the stock battery life) for $60! Why would anyone buy that other brand again over ZeroLemon in the future? This case does add (some) bulk (battery is about double as thick as the original) but with the amazing battery life the bulk is far worth it. Below is a short list of Pro’s and Con’s. I can truthfully say I will never buy another smartphone that ZeroLemon doesn’t make extended batteries for!

Pros

-Great protection and stupendous battery life (at least 2 days’ worth).

-Ability to use with or without extended battery (you can still use the stock battery with the case).

-Easy push buttons.

-Battery still has NFC capabilities.

-Sturdy Belt holster included.

Cons

-Removes the waterproof capabilities of the S5 but that was a given and well worth losing to obtain 2-3 days’ worth of battery life!

Overall, I highly recommend this product. I guarantee you will not be sorry. I personally love not having to charge my phone every night and don’t have to worry about always being around a charger outlet during the day. Think about if your power goes out or if you are on vacation, this battery would be a godsend!
[Galaxy S 5 Accessories] leondestiny:
thanks for the review, i have bought this ZL battery, buddy how is the Sound? you didnt mention the speakers with this battery on. is the speaker sounding to silent ??
[Galaxy S 5 Accessories] BigMosley:
This was a review unit which I gave to my friend and this review is his since I no longer have an S5. I will ask him the next time I see him about the speaker then reply back. :good:
[Galaxy S 5 Accessories] kalans:
I would be really excited to see a wireless charger card worked onto this thing, very well since it looses the waterproofing!

Today was a heavy phone use, and I mean HEAVY USE, like non stop, I am at 6% left. I will post pictures before going sleep.
[Galaxy S 5 Accessories] eloko:
This is what I got. Email checked every minute, lots of Facebook, messages, about two hours of phone calls, internet non stop, brightness around 50% +-, lte 3g and roaming, no wifi at all, gps on all the time, some google maps, no music or YouTube, some pictures without flash..

So I am pretty happy that I don't need to charge it until bed time, with stock battery, by noon, I would be charging it.
[Galaxy S 5 Accessories] prichm1992:
I have a couple of concerns here. Everybody seems to be all "woo hoo" about 6-ish hours SOT and 2 days uptime. Well... I already get that. Maybe as little as 4 hours sot for heavy gaming like rr3, deus ex, or PSP games on the stock battery. I don't use crazy amounts of GPS or whatever, but would I see any improvements? I was hoping for more than 12-14 hours sot and as much as 4 days uptime. Could I get that much without grayscale/min brightness/no data/power save?
[Galaxy S 5 Accessories] eloko:
This is heavy heavy use, not normal use. My job is 90% on the phone and I can't be plugged to a charger.

And because that, I get like 6 hours on stock, max. Even if I charge it, it won't charge as fast as I use it.
[Galaxy S 5 Accessories] prichm1992:
Oh, I'm talking about heavy use too. I'm a portable gaming enthusiast. I'm after 12 hours sot with a WiFi audio call going for maybe 3 of it. With hotspot and GPS going constantly, 6-8 hours sot is amazing. But that doesn't mean much to a gamer lol. I meant no offence.
[Galaxy S 5 Accessories] haza12d:
I just got mine a few days ago and I thought I'd chime in on my experience! Loving it so far. 2-3 days of battery life and after 2 days, I'm used to the extra weight/bulk. It pairs up perfectly with the ZeroLemon Tempered Glass Screen Protector. A solid buy. If you're looking for protection and battery life, look no further. This extended battery/case is all you'll need!
[Galaxy S 5 Accessories] leondestiny:
its worth it in my opinion, my only concern is the speaker, dude check the previous pages of this thread you will see that someone has 12hours sot.
[Galaxy S 5 Accessories] eloko:
Yeah, the speaker sucks... someone say doing something about it but I didn't quite understand it.
[Galaxy S 5 Accessories] leondestiny:
yeah i dont quite get it much either, we need a Video Tutuorial LOL

the one thing i understand is that some say to put someting like a card, a small piece of credit card to put it under the battery like you place the battery on the small piece of card so that the battery is abit higher off the speaker and this way giving more sound..
[Galaxy S 5 Accessories] eloko:
So, I did some modification to the case, which of course, I don't care how it looks, and now speaker is loud.

I did cut through the hard case and soft case. I try to post pictures soon.
[Galaxy S 5 Accessories] leondestiny:
that would be cool, awaiting your pictures :)
[Galaxy S 5 Accessories] eloko:
Here. It took me about three hours and six pack of budlighr to do this. ..

The blade broke once.

And it is loud, way more than before.
[Galaxy S 5 Accessories] i root SGH i777:
just recieved mine today via usps. i will be charging it the 12 hours it says while i am sleeping, then tomorrow i will begin the first battery drain to condition it.
[Galaxy S 5 Accessories] leondestiny:
LoL dude man you tore up the case Hahahaha :D wasnt there another way?? i read somewhere someone saying that alittle piece of credit card, card a piece of card under the battery like you put the card near the speaker area and you then place the battery ontop of it :P.. this one what you did looks so very difficult to do!!! i would break my case if i try this cause im way to clumsy LOL (still awaiting my zl battery)

---------- Post added at 11:41 AM ---------- Previous post was at 11:38 AM ----------

will you do it 5 times ?? they suggest you to fully drain it to 0% and then recharging it for 12 hours, will you do this step for 5 cycles? and btw. when you received the battery did it come with some charge left in it ? like if it was 50% did you still start directly charging it up ? or did you drain that was left in it and then started charging? keep us updated here :p
[Galaxy S 5 Accessories] i root SGH i777:
It came half full, I charged it over night. Update do far I'm at 44 hours of usage with 3.25 hours screen on time at 78% battery left
[Galaxy S 5 Accessories] leondestiny:
holy **** dude, are you freakin serious?? thats epic battery life man im so excited i will receive mine next week.

btw. did you charge it straight when you got it ? or did you run the battery down to 0% and then started charging??
[Galaxy S 5 Accessories] i root SGH i777:
I charged it full after I recieved it
[Galaxy S 5 Accessories] leondestiny:
okay awesome thanks for the info mate, btw. my main main concern is really the Speaker ! how low is it ,is it like super extremely low that you cant hear anything at all??
[Galaxy S 5 Accessories] i root SGH i777:
Not to bad with case
[Galaxy S 5 Accessories] leondestiny:
thanks, will you do 4 more charing cycles? by that i mean will you drain battery to 0% and then recharge it? i read somewhere they say its actually bad to fully drain it :/ but ZL says to drain it to 0% i dunno if this is correct though.
[Galaxy S 5 Accessories] eloko:
Yeah well, I don't care. I'm not showing off my phone to anybody besides I needed louder speakers. And I read about the card but couldn't understand.
[Galaxy S 5 Accessories] i root SGH i777:
Update I'm at 54 % battery left at 58 hours usage with 4.25 hours screen on time
[Galaxy S 5 Accessories] i root SGH i777:

[Galaxy S 5 Accessories] eloko:
I was about 1 day 5hrs. Tons of pictures, videos, overclocked to 3mhz. And email checked every minute. So data is non stop. I don't have my phone on deep sleep, ever.
[Galaxy S 5 Accessories] leondestiny:
would using 3rd party usb cables affect this ZL battery? i have the original adapter of samsung but not the original cable cuz it was stolen, so if i use 3rd party cables would it affect the battery ? or not?
[Galaxy S 5 Accessories] Chrissyscott123:
just look at my onscreen time. this battery speaks for itself. note, this is after the 3rd charge
[Galaxy S 5 Accessories] leondestiny:
this is friggin awesome man ,i get more excited for this battery everyday cant wait till i get mine ! but dude man can you show me what your adapter looks like? your adapter and the cable that came with it, take pic of adapter script like what amp it uses etc. and also the cable would like to see if mine is legit etc. i dont want to mess up battery, right now i use oem battery and the only problem with charging is that the last 5 % charge really slow.. it charges the phone 1% each minute 1% ,so for example im on 40% i charge it after 60minutes it gets near 95% and charging the next 5% takes nearly 30 minutes ! could it be that it needs to get used to this new 3rd party cable tha i am using ?
[Galaxy S 5 Accessories] Chrissyscott123:
I'm using the plug that I got with my s5.as for the wire, I heard the s5 supports usb 3 so I went out and bought a usb3 cable. I literally just typed in on Amazon 's5 usb3 cable' mine is like a 10 metre one and it's blue. it has a really thick cable, almost like rope so it's not gonna cut or rip. what I do I charge my phone for when I go to sleep so around 8 hours and it lasts about 3 days. don't be so worried about it man. you're not gonna screw up your phone :)
[Galaxy S 5 Accessories] leondestiny:
thanks heaps , you were helpful :)
[Galaxy S 5 Accessories] leondestiny:
Hello guys i finally received my ZL 8500MAH battery ! i have absolutely no complaints about the case or the being heavy and even about the SOUND ! i thought the sound would be so low but its alright ! now i only want to ask you guys Should i Charge it for 12 hours like it is recommended !? it came with a 57% charge when i turned it on
[Galaxy S 5 Accessories] AlkaliV2:
I've got to ask a favor, is the sound really covered up for notifications? Did you have to mod it at all to be able to hear it on your belt or on the table?
[Galaxy S 5 Accessories] leondestiny:
dude man trust me, the sound is good without using any mods or whatsoever just keep your volume to 70-90%you'll hear notifications very very clearly, the only really only downside for me is how big it actually makes the phone, it doubles the weight

I'm almost done charging it for the first 12 recommended hours of charging I'm sure this will last me days to recharge again that's what I'm expecting.
[Galaxy S 5 Accessories] leondestiny:
i am very pleased with the battery so far mate, i dont use any Mods for the audio and the sound is good enough i can hear it well !

and btw. im still on my first charge, over 1 day on standby time, and Screen On Time is nearly 6hours and i have still 61% left ;)

and since i am going to drain it to 0% like they suggested and recommended ,i am expecting reach about 11 hours Screen ON time ! :)

over all great battery just need to get used to the weight ;) i give it 5stars i hope it keeps performing like this .
[Galaxy S 5 Accessories] leondestiny:
guys check this out this is from the first charge I'm really amazed by the battery life i got over 2 days with over 13 hours of screen on time this product is amazing
[Galaxy S 5 Accessories] weezul:
any news on UK release, feel like i've been waiting ages. Oddly enough, they told me to email after I posted on the facebook page. I never did though....
[Galaxy S 5 Accessories] leondestiny:
why dont you order one from the U.S !?
[Galaxy S 5 Accessories] leondestiny:
update this is before my 3rd charge.. got 3 days on standby time and the screen on time just wow.. nearly 17 hours of screen on time simply amazing...

S5 Active

Can anyone tell me if this will work on the S5 Active? I would love to have this battery, but I have the Active and I can't find if it would work for the Active anywhere I look. I don't want to buy this only to find out it won't work.

Thanks
[Galaxy S 5 Accessories] kclive:
Does NOT work with the S5 Active.

After sending two email to find out if this will work with the S5 Active I went ahead and bought it. The battery works great, however, the case does NOT fit the S5 Active. I NEVER got a reply from the emails I sent, and I am pretty disgusted with the fact that a company with such good ratings for their products can't even bother to reply to an email.

If you have the S5 Active, do yourself a favor, do NOT buy this battery until the company makes a case that will work with the S5 Active.
[Galaxy S 5 Accessories] leondestiny:
hey buddy, so the battery actually works on the S5Active like when you put it on it turns on but the cover case is not compatible with it?

and ZeroLemon can be really slow with replies ! but they do reply keep sending them your mails buddy
[Galaxy S 5 Accessories] kclive:
Oh yeah, the battery is awesome, but with the battery in you are not able to have ANY case covering up the back of the phone.
[Galaxy S 5 Accessories] kclive:
Here are a couple of screenshots I just took and this is after only 1 full charge.
[Galaxy S 5 Accessories] weezul:
import tax, slow expensive delivery
[Galaxy S 5 Accessories] strker45:
Does this mess with the waterproofing?
[Galaxy S 5 Accessories] JohnKuczek:
Absolutely, the phone's water resistance is gone with this battery/case.

From ZeroLemon's webpage: "*Please note this battery requires removal of the back cover which will not sustain the water resistant design of the Galaxy S5." Very last line on the page.
[Galaxy S 5 Accessories] 1054am:
Hey guys!

This thread really prompted me to buy this battery/case combo. I'm really liking it so far and tbh I really enjoy the extra "meat" this case provides. It feels nice to grip it and use it, and the case buttons are on target.

I just have a quick question - is it normal for the battery to drain kind of quickly the first time you put it in and charge it to 100%?

I charged it up to 100% ~3 hours ago and it's already down to 87%. I haven't really used it to much minus a phone call and installing a few apps (so I'd say about 30 minutes of screen time?). I'm worrying that I could have a dud - but I'm not sure if this is normal behavior; I'll feel better once I get it down to 0% and do a full charge.

For reference, I do have xtrestolite+ktoonez installed, and it always helped my old stock battery squeeze a few more hours out. Maybe I should go back to a stock kernel?
[Galaxy S 5 Accessories] leondestiny:
did you leave it on Charge for 12 hours !?!
[Galaxy S 5 Accessories] 1054am:
nope! I just charged it up to 100% then took the plug out! :D

It's acting a little more normal now. I'm only at 72% with 20 hours 30 minutes with almost 2 hours of screen time!
[Galaxy S 5 Accessories] leondestiny:
you will get alot of juice out of it if you charge it right, next time you put it on charge leave it on charge for 6-10 hours, i suggest doing this when you go to sleep before you go to sleep just leave it on charge, you need to do this only once then you can charge it like you want, or do the 5 times rechargin recomendation, letting it drop to 2% then fully charging it back to 100%.
[Galaxy S 5 Accessories] bloodrain954:
where do you people come up with all these weird ideas?
[Galaxy S 5 Accessories] leondestiny:
no mate its the truth, i have tried it ! last time i charged it to 100% i straightly plugged it out of the charger and the battery only lasted me like about 1day with 8hours of Use and i got to 13% which was unusual cause i get nearly 18hours on screen time every time i charge it for over 5-6 hours ! ( what i basically mean is that while charging my phone and i see 100% i do not plug it out yet i wait for like 2 more hours ,feels like it still charges it up more 'cause even when it hits 100% it does not tell me BatteryFull Plug Out message that doesnt appear ,so when it hits 100% and then after a few more hours the message BatteryFull < appears )

so i have charged it up last night and im on 98% right now, i will defintely notice if Charging it up for over 6hours has effect on the battery or not ! will post update later .
[Galaxy S 5 Accessories] prichm1992:
That's an issue with most extended batteries. The s5 will read ~100% when the battery is charged to roughly 2800mah worth of juice, because that's what it was designed to be calibrated to.
[Galaxy S 5 Accessories] alteam:
That's not true. It will adapt to the battery
[Galaxy S 5 Accessories] leondestiny:
guys i am not entirely sure, but this battery does wear down after the first month, meaning from Screen on Time of getting nearly 16-18 hours, it comes down to 11-13 hours< i charge it correctly overall this is still a very good battery the only downpoint for me is , it being so damn heavy its like 4 times the weight of the original case my S5 now is even heavier than my PsVita LMAO < i hope ZL makes something slimmer they make great products a ZL Slim extended battery would be great.
[Galaxy S 5 Accessories] Carnage_Furkat:
Test run with the battery

I bought this about under a week ago. The picture shows my first test run with it. I did follow the 12 hour charge time before using the phone for the first time. I have not seen any issue with it. I do have a Samsung Gear 2 constantly connected and use it normally for use with work. Internet, constant email, and Wi-Fi testing.
[Galaxy S 5 Accessories] shanky887614:
guys does this last a lot longer than the anker? it wasnt available in the uk when i needed a battery

i was gutted i had a 7500mah zl on my s3

im down to 2% after 14 hours with over 3 hours of gps on, brightness up and internet on all day

from 5:30am till 9pm
[Galaxy S 5 Accessories] biglo:
Does anyone use any Qi wireless with this battery and have any recommendations?
[Galaxy S 5 Accessories] Minglesny:
Zerolemon 8500mah battery is the best one out there and by the numbers is definitely beats the Anker battery in performance.
[Galaxy S 5 Accessories] biglo:
Here is some of my results from my first drain down couldn't wait for it to get down to 10 percent to charge it again. Wish the case was curved some more though very bulky with the box shape but ridiculous crazy battery life.

If the battery is 3 times the normal +100mah, then you should be able to get around 3 days on a charge for normal use..

Does anybody got defected battery from amazon from buyer Bastexwireless - Authorized ZeroLemon Retailer?
[Galaxy S 5 Accessories] ninogui:
Hi guys

just posting my feedback

I have been using the zerolemon 7000mah on the S3 for over a year now and it works just like day one, I estimate about 120 full charge cycles

trick is:

- with phone on I leave it charging overnight until full charge green led is on

- then I switch off the phone and put it on charge again to top up

- when full charge is accomplished not only the stats will work as intended but you will get much more/stable juice out of it as well as improved the overall life of the batt

Now I got a S5 and ordered the 8500mah zerolemon batt and case

my concern will probably be muffled sound (although they claim to redirect it) because of the back speaker design

and that is incidentally the most annoying issue I found with this phone
[Galaxy S 5 Accessories] juck401:
7500 vs 8500

I'm contemplating of getting this one, im getting tired replacing battery every time i go like 5% (Got 2 spare batts)

this could be a great one, its rugged and extended batt already.
[Galaxy S 5 Accessories] leondestiny:
i was also very concerned when i ordered my ZL 8500 ,concerned about the Sound being too low but trust me the sound is not bad at all and with mods like Viper4android you should not worry the least and when i say trust me then i mean trust me the ZL 8500 is a BEAST only downside for me is that it is huge and feels abit like a brick but you will get used to it and it will come in very handy !

---------- Post added at 12:24 PM ---------- Previous post was at 12:21 PM ----------

i also go back to using my ZL 8500 every now and then because it pisses me off to have to charge my phone almost twice per day ! so when i go back on using my ZL 8500 i dont charge it for like nearly 3 days thats a beast of a battery i suggest you to go for the 8500, because the 7500 one (case feels loose) < where as for the 8500 i have even put it on and took it off again several times maybe even 10 times by now and it is not loose feels very protective and rigid. and BatteryLife is Awesome.
