Amen to that! And would it kill them to make a rugged case? It doesn't have to come with the battery. I'd happily buy it separately.

Sent from my awesome T-Mobile LG V10!

I've got one of the ZL solar 22mAh external batteries. They really do make some great accessories.
[LG V20 Accessories] rwitmer:
This is good to hear. Last time I waited maybe 2 months before ZeroLemon had the battery ready for the Note 4. I won't buy the LG V20 until the ZeroLemon battery is available.

PS: I'm on my 2nd ZeroLemon battery for the Note 4 now. 1st one started bulging early this spring (16 months) and replaced it last month. It swelled enough to start popping the screen off and the home button stopped working. I'm more careful with the 2nd battery. I never charge hot and never leave it charge over night, just enough until it's fully charged then off the charger.

Just received my v20 unlocked. Love it. I will wait patiently for my big brick update. I will continue to use my note4 brick at home to play games and video on wi fi.
[LG V20 Accessories] pieces of cake:
Sounds like a great product.
[LG V20 Accessories] taphius:
Would need some proof of that, I cannot see a phone that has a removable back allowing enough pressure to pop a fixed screen out versus the back popping off.

Route of least resistance and all
[LG V20 Accessories] @rbiter:
Yep. I just fixed the GPS on my note 4 and it was pretty damn hard pushing the screen assembly out from the frame. Was very scared I was going to crack the amoled. Luckily I didn't and can't tell phone was taken apart. Home button works great still.
[LG V20 Accessories] Chinam4n:
I got this bad boy on Friday 20th. I was able to get 3 days use out of it - which is pretty much the same as the standard battery, just 3 batteries combined into 1. I did the whole processes when receiving the battery - charged it for 12 hours or so before using.

My screen on time was approximately 8hrs at 30%-50% brightness, moderate use of SMS and phone calls. Little to no game play. I did a lot of web browsing, video playing on YouTube - 1080p and always streamed music at the highest bit rate via Google Play Music. Did moderate use of social media; Facebook, Instagram and Snapchat. GPS - Google Maps and Waze.

The phone itself recognizes the battery and does not reject the battery like other eBay purchased batteries I've read about. The USB C and headphone jack is not blocked. I'm able to use right angled headphones and other USB C cables/chargers. Camera cut out is great, when using the flash, I believe I get the full effect and no light are getting blocked - to my knowledge.

I don't have any screen protectors on my phone so I'm not sure if the case will push any screen protectors in.

Pros and Cons?

Pro

-You don't need to carry several batteries if you're a heavy user.

-You don't need to charge your phone every day/night.

-It's easier to use when texting and typing - IMO

Con

-Phone is bulky - it does fit into my slacks and semi not noticeable; but when it comes to jeans, its highly noticeable

-Case is not that protective just regular TPU - I did drop my phone onto carpet from waist length, nothing got damaged and the battery didn't fall out.

-Where you place your index finger for the finger print access is now kinda awkward - sometimes it doesn't read my finger because it I can only put my finger tip - so it's kind of obstructed. I ended up adding my middle fingers and accessed the finger print from the side where it doesn't feel awkward.

-This one might be just nip picking - when I insert the battery it doesn't feel tight and secure but it does still work.

Would I recommend it? Only to users that don't mind bulky phones and heavy users. For the average Joe, you're probably better off waiting for the slimmer version if it were to come out or just get additional OEM batteries.

This is the comparison in size to a quarter and a pen.
[LG V20 Accessories] b3asty:
I'll also add that it does feel considerably heavier so my standard lying in bed on one side or the other propped and on my phone may have to change a bit. I've been lying with it over the last 20 minutes and using the phone. My wrists are definitely telling me it's heavier.

I'm going to use this until an in between 6000 or 7000 debuts. The peace of mind is well worth the extra bulk. It almost feels like I'm using something like an OtterBox.
[LG V20 Accessories] diehardbattery:
I have a set of Seinnheiser HD598 SE's and the molding on the plug is just a little too wide for the headphone jack port.
[LG V20 Accessories] TheJesus:
It finally died on 3.5 full days of use, first two days on Wi-Fi and the rest was only cell. Finally died at ~80 hours battery and 13.5 hours SOT (screen on time). Incredible performance, I didn't expect that, the V10 case didn't make it past two days and that was rare.

I'm more than satisfied with it, huge shout out to ZeroLemon :)

I'm at work this morning and just tried to do my usual Android Pay scan. No dice. That's a deal breaker for me. Back to Amazon this goes...

When doing android pay you have to hold it to the terminal from the front of the phone or the top I've done several times but just usually pay with my gear s3

The NFC coil is on the back door, so without the stock back cover no dice on Android pay or tap to... actions

At least yes, thank you Samsung for making Sammy Pay work on the Gear S3 paired to the V20. With MST pay being Sammy exclusive, nothing beats that.

Had I known this, I would have waited for something more conventional. Thanks for the added insight.
[LG V20 Accessories] repsol_23:
Hopefully they are willing to take back the battery. It does state on amazon that nfc will not function with the zerolemon on the v20. Hope they don't use that against you. I have always had great service from them!!
[LG V20 Accessories] b3asty:
Return label already printed. I love Amazon and don't expect to have any problems correcting this situation.
[LG V20 Accessories] bond32:
I got mine in yesterday. Ill post a more in depth review after a few days. Here are some of my initial thoughts:

- yes, its big. We get it. But to my surprise, its not as big as expected. I'm a 6 ft male with average sized hands and I can still use it 1 handed. The best size comparison I can think of would be the Otterbox defender, it is pretty close to the width of that case but much heavier.

- Outer case has a really nice feel to it. Its unlike any TPU I have used but not far from Diztronic. I do wish the outer case fit slightly tighter. Cases that squeak, creek, etc I really notice. Mine has a very small creak under the volume buttons but its minor.

- It's a huge battery - not much else to say that others have not said. Works awesome. If you need to charge throughout the day, its something to consider. Personally I charge my phone at least once per day because I use it a lot. I won't go into usage details much but take my word for it. Also, should be noted I typically get poor battery out of my phones as I have extremely poor signal at my home. With that said, I charged it to full at 8:20 pm last night. It was at 92% this morning and at the moment of writing this it is at 66%. Stock battery would have been dead by now. My typical screen on time on stock battery was always less than 4 hours - 4 hours 30 min was a good day. Already at 66% charge it has 4 hours 40 min on the screen on time. Screenshot will be posted.

- Really nice, cheap, small, but effective packaging.

- I found my finger was able to actually hit the sensor easier than with the Otterbox defender case. The angles on the back are such that it doesn't really feel so bad.

- It fits fine in my pockets. And yes, I have a pair of what I call skinny jeans.

I will post something better after time goes by. Zerolemon is a really solid company and I wish more would operate like them and get feedback from us. I always will look to the smaller companies first.

Tl;dr: freaking solid battery and case that will be a nice addition if you need to charge before days end.

Edit: In case anyone has a bunch of spare money laying around and was curious on a holster, I was wondering if this Encased holster might fit:

[LG V20 Accessories] repsol_23:
I have to agree with bond32. The case is obviously large and heavy but I was very surprised at how easily it slides in and out of my back pocket. I too have a pair of "skinny" jeans per se and I had zero issues with the tight pocket and fit of the phone. I also have the otterbox and that case "sticks" to my pockets and I feel like I am fighting to get the damn phone out.

I am on my 2nd day of use. I am always on my phone due to job and emails phone calls. Plus xda of course!! And I am at 46% still. Coming from the note 3 and zero lemon I have to say for me this case and battery was all I expected and then some.

Just my .02

This is my first day using it and must say I am impressed. If this was my regular battery I would be at 40 % power left. I use my phone the same as always at work and it's night and day with this battery. I am sure after a few charges and discharges it will calibrate better.

Being 6'3" the size is perfect for me. This is the first case that I can type with one hand. So the size doesn't bother me. The grip stuff in the case is smooth but works well. The case fit could be a lot better on the side. It can be pulled open easily and I worry about dist and grit getting in to the open back of the phone. I wish they would of made a true back cover for the battery. As where I work at is gritty and dusty. The top and bottom of the screen fits great.

I am not worry about the NFC as I don't use it. Over all I am happy with the battery but if you have small hands then might not be for you. I do like how it's balanced when in the hand.
[LG V20 Accessories] bond32:
Second day of use here, shows about 7.5 hours of screen on time with 48% left. Pretty darn good!
[LG V20 Accessories] planetbeen:
I received mine on Monday. Thankfully I was offered a discount code. I answered a Facebook post to review the zerolemon for the v10 and this time around they contacted me!

I'll have an "official" review up after I let a bit more time go by but so far I'm 100% satisfied!

My experience this week has been closer to my note 2 zerolemon experience and that is... This thing lasts forever! It was great on my v10 but the v10 just can't compare with the v20 for battery consumption (with the exception of standby time - both "v" phones are great for that!)

I'll post some comparison pictures for the 2 phones in case anyone has come from v10 like I did.

For now, here's a few screen shots of my first full charge. I plugged in on Monday night so I could start Tuesday at 100%.

I went to bed Tuesday night with 67% and woke up with the same 67% on Wednesday morning.

Tuesday and Wednesday were both work days for me so not a lot of heavy use. Wednesday I streamed YouTube for a while though which means more screen on time there.

I also noticed myself happily not worrying about my brightness again. I love having a zerolemon because it means I can just do what I want and pretty much never worry about the battery.

I decided to charge last night even though I'd bet that 18% would have gotten me through today. I'm off until Monday so I wanted to start my weekend test at 100%.

Some info, I'm usually on auto brightness. I pretty much never use WiFi. Bluetooth is on most of the day but usually off at night. Location is always on. Second screen is always on.

More to come!
[LG V20 Accessories] MidtownHD:
Just got the battery, will try it out this weekend.
[LG V20 Accessories] partylikeaninjastar:
I'll have a full review in a week, but here's my first discharge.

View attachment 4018776View attachment 4018777

To compare, the week prior I monitored my battery life and I average just under 12 hours up time with an average SOT of 3.5 hours.

This first discharge is over three times my regular usage.

Some impressions: the bulk isn't as bad as I thought it would be, but I wish it had rounded edges. The blocky design is uncomfortable. The grip is decent. Better than the metal back of the phone, but still a bit smooth. However, the shape keeps it in your hand. The fingerprint scanner is a bit awkward to use now.

Going to charge it overnight to see how long it takes. Unfortunately, I left my QC 3.0 charger at work, but I do have a ZeroLemon QC 2.0 charger to use so I'll share charge charge time tomorrow, assuming I get a full charge before going to work.
[LG V20 Accessories] Ammarious:
Hello Everyone..

I have a question, does the quick charge 3 work on this battery?

Currently on my note 4, I have to turn fast charging off when charging the zerolemon battery. If I keep it on, I will only get 33% of the battery charged.

Is that also the case for the v20?
[LG V20 Accessories] Ryano89:
Yes the V20 version has quick charge, I've had mine for 2 days now.
[LG V20 Accessories] Ammarious:
Check the attached answer from the manufacturer.

It is confusing!
[LG V20 Accessories] Ryano89:
Weird, I have no idea what that means. I plugged mine in, it said fast charging, and it charged fast, that's all I know.
[LG V20 Accessories] MidtownHD:
Wow this thing is crazily good, thanks ZeroLemon. Now I just need to get used to the added weight. :fingers-crossed::fingers-crossed:

I recharged and letting it go to dead. So far I am still happy with it because I can use my phone how I want to and not worry about the battery going dead. Funny thing is my cell reception got better when using this battery setup. Must be something with the back case lg use must block cell reception some. It use to drop to no connection then I put the zero lemon battery in my reception got better and no signal drops.

I am looking FWD for them to come out with a 5000 battery version as I think it would be more of a daily user for most people. The 10k is for people that can't charge their battery like at a park. The battery could fit more snuggly. So I can't wait till it dies so I can start from zero. I think in a week I'll leave my feedback on Amazon so far I think it will get 4 stars as there are some things that they can improve on. The battery life I give it 5 star as seems like a high quality battery they use.
[LG V20 Accessories] kms108:
Not really confusing, they say fast charge will only charge upto 3200mAh, this is the OEM size battery, not sure what will happen afterwards or will it charge the full battery, and how will the charging know when to stop.

another point you can't turn off fast charge, well at least I don't know how, but you can do it on some samsung phones, I think the best is use a non fast charger to charge the phone safe.
[LG V20 Accessories] b3asty:
Yep. Same here. I tried it for a day at work and it just didn't work as my daily driver. Noticeably heavier in my slacks and generally announced itself to others before I approached. The 10k is an incredibly option for serious power users though.

Once a 5k (or 6k) version comes out from any company I will hop all over it. I had an Anker 5k on my Note 4 that came with an actual secure hard plastic backing "and" a TPU case. It was PERFECT. Will keep hoping to see the same for this wonderful phone.

Amazon did immediately refund my return the same day I placed it into the UPS system.

---------- Post added at 04:47 PM ---------- Previous post was at 04:44 PM ----------

I sometimes wonder why the various manufacturers don't just make their flagship phones with 4k batteries... I bet the average consumer would have zero problem dealing with a miniscule difference in size/weight when considering the fact that we wouldn't have to go looking for extended options.
[LG V20 Accessories] LBJM:
You people that only want a 5k battery are weirdos. That's not even double capacity. If you use GPS and data with the screen on for a whole day your phone would be dead. I just want a hard case for the current battery like I have with my LG G3, Note 2 (now just for music), and note 3.
[LG V20 Accessories] wotlos:
Had the battery for a few days now, finally just got it drained down for its first recharge cycle. Thought I'd post some screens shots (note that this is what I got out of the battery with "my" normal usage, which even I would not consider power user level, however extremely happy with the results.)
[LG V20 Accessories] fthahim:
had mine for two days , the battery life is incredible , however I cannot get used to the size and the fit and finish of the rubber case is not great , I am wondering since I had to take off LG Back cover which is actually like the backbone of this phone , if this phone would break easily if dropped , also what do you guy's think about the Hyperion extended battery below ?

[LG V20 Accessories] cavanaughnick:
Happy ZL V20 user here... I love the battery and it makes my battery life great, but I feel like it's not next level great. i see people posting screenshots with 15+ hours of SOT, and meanwhile i'm getting a respectable 8-10ish depending on my usage. So my question is, what are the factors that affect battery life the most? I have my bluetooth on because i have an android wear watch, but i keep my GPS in battery saving mode whenever i don't use maps. Is the accounts sync an issue? because overnight i lost like 16% of my ZL battery, or almost half a regular battery, which is insane. and if the auto accounts sync is an issue, is there any way i can turn off auto sync for individual accounts? I go to the account sync in settings and all i see is the option at the top to turn off auto-sync for all accounts, but there's a few i'd like to keep on auto-sync. any ideas on how to get my battery life to the next level?
[LG V20 Accessories] Dark Jedi:
What's your screen brightness set at? I know if mine is set high then it will suck that battery quicker than hooker trying to get her 20 bucks lol.
[LG V20 Accessories] cavanaughnick:
I keep it low, normally below half. I know that the display is usually the biggest drain. but i just got surprised when it drained so much with the screen off overnight
[LG V20 Accessories] Dark Jedi:
After it said 100% check under settings to see if it says fully charged or still charging. I know mine I have to leave it plugged in so it can charge fully and not just what it reads in the notification bar.
[LG V20 Accessories] cavanaughnick:
it is, it's at 100% now but i heard that youre supposed to charge it for a while after it says 100% just to make sure. i'm sure the battery is calibrated just fine, i just think my phone is actually chewing through battery a little too fast that's why i'm not seeing over 10 hours of SOT. i figured the auto sync was an issue, then i read a thread on reddit saying that if some of your apps have the sync icon next to them (meaning they're not syncing) then they could be "stuck", so i went in to those apps and manually refreshed to fix the issue. im hoping that's the fix but not positive
[LG V20 Accessories] nightra88:
Got mine yesterday. Haven't used it to its full potential. But I did manage to get this much info.

I was using my phone a lot.

I had well over 3hrs 30min sot and and my battery just hit 85%. Overall battery was like 7-8hrs. With my stock battery, at 3 and half hours sot I would be at like 60 or 50%. Definitely an improvement. But, the new back casing is plastic. And it is a fingerprint and finger oil MAGNET. Honestly doesn't bother me. Does what I need it to. Over GREAT value for what I paid.
[LG V20 Accessories] hotstocks:
That Hyperion double battery looks pretty stupid. First there is no protection for the camera. Secondly it is lopsided with the huge bump so that you could NEVER find a protective case for it, so if you go Hyperion you are going caseless forever. At least Zerolemon is kinda a protective case, but not at the size/weight of the current brick. I am waiting for the 5000-6000mah Zerolemon that they should be able to make thin and light enough with protection and do it right.
[LG V20 Accessories] b3asty:
I'm perfectly good with the hyperion for the time being. It's a great compromise and reviews have actually been pretty good. Like most things, a case will eventually hit the Amazon waves for it.

The bumpout actually protects the camera when sitting on a flat surface.

But yeah.. The company that makes a 6000Mah battery that looks sleek and only extends the full thickness of the phone to the same level as the hyperion AND issues a TPU case with it... That company is a winner winner chicken dinner.
[LG V20 Accessories] nightra88:
That will be a case that I buy lol

But I actually love my Hyperion battery. The bump really doesn't bother me. But I wish they would made a metal cover instead of a plastic. uh well. Beggers can't be choosers lol

Ahh. I'm loving this double battery life! And it also comes with a 2 year warranty!

But I do miss having my case.
[LG V20 Accessories] tourbound129:
Decided to give the Zerolemon another cycle.

81 hours up time

18h 47m SOT

Auto brightness

About 70% WiFi, 30% cell

Location set to GPS only because that's how I always have it

3 E-mail accounts all set to push

Rooted but with stock kernel
[LG V20 Accessories] nerys71:
I am a delivery driver. the ZL gives me the potential for a really solid 3 days of hard usage without much concern.

so far the lowest I have gotten is 54% in a single day (that was some seriously heavy usage) and I always keep the screen brightness at 100% unlike the OLEDS I Just don't like it at any other setting except at night I sometimes drop it to 50%

The lack of custom cases is a really bummer especially since I REALLY hate black. but for pure raw power its unbeatable.

I don't seem to have any problems quick charging to any level so far.
[LG V20 Accessories] cavanaughnick:
Dude how the heck are you getting those?? Like I'm getting good life from mine but not nearly that good. Best SOT I can get is upwards of 10. Mind sharing your secrets? I downloaded GSAM and apparently wakelocking on wifi is an issue affecting my battery but idk how to fix that. I definitely want my battery life up in the next level. Majority of my day usage consists of texting, Google Music, snapchat/Facebook/Instagram, internet browsing, etc. Gmail app syncing 2 email accounts, one Outlook account, and most of the Google apps installed and syncing.

Any help from anyone would be appreciated!
[LG V20 Accessories] nerys71:
you are only getting 10 hours SOT with a ZL? my worst time was today actually. 51% left 4 hours SOT but this was largely me being up in the mountains with **** for signal :) I am getting typically 12-14 hours SOT but I am also using a lot of background power (maps going and audiobook going screen off with bluetooth to the car)
