I'm currently sitting at 24% with 63 hrs 52 minutes and 11 hrs 17 minutes of screen on. I'm going to see how it goes and let it run it's course this time even though it means I'll run out at work tomorrow. I'll just switch to my regular battery when that happens.

I want to see how far it will go. lol
[LG V20 Accessories] tourbound129:
I don't really have any secrets. I've had the G2, G3, G4, V10, and V20 and always had above average battery life. I don't use Facebook or Instagram so I'm sure that definitely helps. I find GPS only is even better than battery saver when it comes to location. I've never needed high accuracy. I don't restrict any background data and I don't make any compromises on how I use my phone just to get battery life. Maybe I've just been lucky?

I also don't restore apps when changing phones. I've found that causes more problems than it's worth. I'd rather take a little longer setting it up.
[LG V20 Accessories] cavanaughnick:
Hmm, odd. I mean I can definitely see that the battery is working, the difference is night and day. So I think it's my phone or usage habits that make it not get the most out of the battery. I'm not sure if the Google Backup My Data setting has anything to do with it (I read a forum saying it caused wakelocks, thus draining battery while sleeping), but I turned it off yesterday so I'll see how it does. But if Facebook and other apps are using up a good amount of battery, I guess I can't have my cake and eat it too

My review is live on Amazon: https://www.amazon.com/review/R3A63BOG05C147/ref=pe_1098610_137716200_cm_rv_eml_rv0_rv

Summary: battery life is exceptional, but the case is not for everyone. It is as uncomfortable as it looks. The bulk doesn't bother me as much as the shape of the case does.

The question you need to ask yourself is whether or not two day battery life is worth the discomfort. It's not terrible, but it is noticeable. For me, it's worth it just not being anxious anytime my battery drops before 50%.

It's less bulky than carrying a power bank and it's less of a hassle than quick charge or swapping batteries. If you're okay with having to always plug in or swap batteries, then don't worry about this and carry on. If you don't like having to plug in or swap out, then consider an extended battery (notice I didn't specifically say the ZeroLemon battery).

Unless you absolutely need 10000 mAh or you unless you absolutely hate having to ever charge or swap your battery, then I'd actually recommend a 6000 mAh extended battery instead. The ZeroLemon is great for what it is, but 10000 mAh is excessive and probably unnecessary.

If you want the most power possible, though, and don't mind that it's a bit uncomfortable to hold, then, by all means, get the ZeroLemon.

Hi. Is the free ZL battery is over? Sad.
[LG V20 Accessories] cavanaughnick:
Update: been getting significantly better battery life after doing two things:

1. Turned off Bluetooth location scanning (I already had WiFi scanning turned off).

2. Using my phone without WiFi on (on the chance that it might be the WiFi causing wakelocks, which is something I researched a bit with the help of GSam. Wifioffdelayifnotused was the suspected culprit).

I'm not sure which one could be the bigger factor, but I'm going to leave my phone unplugged overnight with WiFi off, then after tomorrow night when i charge it fully again I'm going to see how much battery life I get with WiFi on (this way I should be able to determine if it was the Bluetooth scanning, or the WiFi.)

Any input would be appreciated. Thanks!
[LG V20 Accessories] TYMO68:
I am on my 4th iteration of using ZeroLemon battery cases on my mobile devices. I have experience with various phones on each variant that zerolemon has developed and using this on my LG V20 without a doubt goes without question to still reign as KING of extended battery usage. Not only does this provide an abundance of addtl battery life but the extra added protection of the case (not that it is a solid piece of tpu) does support lite scratches and bumps. I wouldn't recommend this as a daily driver to keep on for the bulk of it and it doesn't provide superior drop protection. However, in using it as a backup when traveling ( a long day at Disney World with the family) or just being a power user like myself by far supasses my expectations.
[LG V20 Accessories] cavanaughnick:
Update part 2: turning off the Bluetooth scanning and Wifi (only yesterday, had wifi on today) has resulted in much better battery life so far. Oddly enough, early on it seemed a lot better, on pace for almost 15 hours SOT. I'm at 18% now and almost at 10, but still pretty good and better than what I was getting. I'm chalking it up to the Bluetooth scanning since I use an Android wear watch that I leave always connected. I'll do another full drain tomorrow after charging it tonight, this time leaving wifi on to see how much of a difference the Bluetooth scanning makes (3rd pic is early on when I was on pace for 15h SOT; left phone unplugged last night and stayed at 64% all night. So my 12-18% overnight drain (40-ish% on stock battery) problem is cured :) )
[LG V20 Accessories] fthahim:
I returned the zerolemon as it was just too big and bulky, got the hyperion and so far I am very pleased, the e battery life has more than doubled but it does not add as much bulk to the phone. For me the hyperion is a winner.
[LG V20 Accessories] fthahim:
I second your opinion. Returned my ZL and got the Hyperion, battery life is more than double with a lot less bulk. Will be modifying my Spigen case to fit the hyperion soon. Wish me luck
[LG V20 Accessories] bigdog1459:
I gotta say ive had my zl for around two weeks and i love it. Yeah its bulky but smartphones used to be this bulky. Reminds me of my old evo or thunderbolt.

I'm loving the fact that I'm getting two and a half days and i haven't even begun to mess with custom kernels.
[LG V20 Accessories] evo4g63t:
This will probably be the first time I pass up the Zero lemon battery, I had both a 6500 mah and 9000 mah, I found myself using the smaller of the two more often so this round I am going to just use the Hyperion 6400, strangely the 6400 is lasting about as long as the 9000 on my v10.

I actually prefer the larger casing because it's easier to hold, however I'm not a fan of the weight.
[LG V20 Accessories] b3asty:
Amen. I love my Hyperion.

But there's a niche for the Zerolemon.
[LG V20 Accessories] tapout27:
This is a big battery. Big. Some extra size is understood for that kind of battery life. This is easily 3-4 times the size of the OEM battery in thickness.

The backplate replacement included with the battery works as a TPU case. It completely covers the back of the phone and provides a small lip on the front so the screen does not touch when laid screen side down. Overall the fit and finish work well , the slightly textured case feels good in the hand and it has a nice and simple ZeroLemon logo stamped at the bottom. It is not slick and does not show fingerprints in daily use. The only issue I have had with the case is the fitment at the top left. It is loose around the volume buttons but this does not at all affect the functionality of the battery being held in place or the protection the case provides.

The battery itself is amazing. I see an average of 85+ hours battery life with around 13-14+ hours of screen on time. I could do much better with less syncing apps, lower brightness and battery life extending apps, if I needed to. The first couple of charges I let the phone sit on the charger for 6-7 hours past it displaying 100% to ensure a maximal charge. I believe the battery is capable of fast charging...but only up to the OEM battery level. It then does a normal charge for the duration of the battery's needs.

I consider myself a heavy user. I run Pandora 2-3 hours at a time, flash ROMs, test apps, play games and use the phone's hotspot on a regular basis. This battery has enabled me to got 2-3 days with no need of a charge.

If you don't mind a thicker phone in exchange for amazing battery life and piece of mind then this is the LG V20 battery for you. All others pale in comparison.
[LG V20 Accessories] Dark Jedi:
I had a thunderbolt and sorry it was not bulky. It's the same thickness as many of today's phones.
[LG V20 Accessories] diehardbattery:
This battery will not disappoint. Let's get one thing out of the way. It's BIG! Take a portable battery pack of similar size and weight and you have basically the same thing. Weighs about 330g (0.75lbs). That said I was able to get about 50 total hours of what I would consider average use. You could probably get close to 60 depending on your apps and setup. 40 hours at bare minimum. It also fits my iOttie car holder, thats a big plus.
[LG V20 Accessories] miketoasty:
I am personally loving this battery, I've only had it for about a day but so far the results have been promising. An hour and a half of SoT with the phone being on for five hours and I'm only down four percent, which I'm sure will get even better over time.

Obviously it makes the phone more bulky, the battery is over three times the size of the stock battery so it's to be expected. I have no problem fitting it in my jeans or using it everyday, just know what you're getting into when buying it.
[LG V20 Accessories] HolyCrapZombies:
How is everyone's battery holding charge? I've had two zerolemons for the note 2 and note 3, the note 2 kept draining at a fast pace. Also, does anyone know if there are any compatible cases to use with the battery?
[LG V20 Accessories] bigdog1459:
It comes with a tpu case that doubles as the phone backing.

[LG V20 Accessories] Sanzo26789:
i finally got my zerolemon battery to Europe.

But unfortunately it doesn't even fit properly in the battery "socket". Yes it works, but if you press on the backside of case i can feel that the battery on the inside woobles a little . It almost fits on the bottom of the battery socket. But on the top i have a pretty big gap (2-3mm).

I used zerolemon batteries before in my S3 and Note 3.

They always were a tight fit especially the first time.

But i pressed against it pretty hard and this one doesn't snug in.

And i must say the case feels very cheap and doesn't offer much grip.

The case for the S3 also was cheap but it offered more grip and i only paided 30 bucks (with battery) for that.

This time i paid almost 100 USD (thx to taxes and shipping).

I even think that 60 USD is a little to much for that.

I wanted to post some pics, but it seems that i have not enough posts.

I don't have a problem with the weight.
[LG V20 Accessories] crazyc78:
For those that have done a few charge discharge cycles already what steps or procedures did you take? I'm currently at about 40 hours of usage and I'm at 23 percent remaining. I know Zerolemon says to complete about 5 to 6 charge discharge cycles to see good performance. When you recharge do you charge it back up for a full 12 hours or just overnight to bring it to fully charged at 100 percent? I have a couple smaller ? lying around plus the OEM battery and a spare ? charger to charge them with. I was also considering using the spare charger for my Zerolemon ? as well. I have done that in the past with extended batteries that I owned and didn't have any issues. It's always nice to have freshly charged ? around. Any suggestions or tips would be great thanks!!!
[LG V20 Accessories] adit07:
So the thing is, by default the battery charged in like 1.5 hrs for me.. But then when i disconnected, i saw that the drain was fast and it kept draining fast till it reached about 60 percent. So this was a clear case of battery caliberation issue. I discharged it completely, kept the phone off, charged it to a 100% and then turned it on. Then I observed a much better battery life like what i posted a few posts ago.

Also note that when I charged it without turning on the phone, then it took like 4 hours to fully charge
[LG V20 Accessories] crazyc78:
Four hours sounds about right for a full charge. I remember when I had an extended battery with a Samsung device it would take about 4 to 6 hours for a full charge. I just wasn't sure if I had to charge it 12 hours every time. I do have a spare battery charger and I will use that to charge the battery. I need a fully charged battery good to go because of my job.
[LG V20 Accessories] planetbeen:
What I have done is charge mine overnight. I too found that if you just charge it to 100% and pull it right away you'll get it dropping very quickly to around 60-70% just like the other post said.

I have something else to try for charging but I haven't gotten to it yet. So for me, if I just need a quick charge I would plug it in for a little while and let it go up and know that it's definitely going to get me through the rest of the day and then charge it that night.

Mine has been lasting me a good solid 3 to 4 days. If anything on the fourth day I would have to charge it at some point but that's because I'm starting that day under 20%!

I charged Tuesday night and pulled it off the charger when I got up Wednesday. I'm at 39% now so looks like it'll be a 3 day span this time. I was off today so I'm using the phone more. Oh, and yesterday I listened to YouTube at work for a couple hours which means my screen was on more than usual (for a work day).

I'm pretty much down to charging twice a week now. It's amazing. Much better then I was getting with the V10 but more in line with what I got on my Note 2.

BTW, so far all charging has been done with the charger and cable that came with the phone.
[LG V20 Accessories] crazyc78:
Yeah I've heard that just plugging in the cord and charging for a brief period is not a good idea. I've also heard that even when the phone gets to 5 percent battery life and then lower and warns you about battery life and then the phone dies is when you should charge it. I've also read that you need to charge the phone with the phone off for the first 5 charging discharging cycles. That's why bought a spare charger and a few spare batteries. My job entails me using my phone all the time for work so I need a fully charged battery ready to go. One of the reasons I have a V20. I'm hoping if I charge the battery in the spare charger it will actuallly get the proper charge. I guess I'm going to be on the safe side and charge the battery a decent amount of time in the charger so I know it's good to go.
[LG V20 Accessories] planetbeen:
Well when I received mine I used it straight out of the box then charged it overnight that night. Since then I've just used it like a regular battery with the exception that if I want to be sure it's fully charged I do it overnight so there's no question.

I've run it down to 20 something % and let charge...I've run it to 2% then charged... I've run it to 9ish and then charged.

Honestly... I'm just using it. I don't think they're really as complicated as people make them out to be.

One thing I'm happy about is that the v20 reads it properly unlike the v10 that would drain down then if you removed it and put it back in you'd still have 40+ %. Much better when the phone can actually gage it properly. I'm so happy that the v20 does!
[LG V20 Accessories] crazyc78:
This is where I'm at right now, it's not showing the full amount because I restarted my phone a few times and it didn't pick up where it left off for stats but I'm about 35 total hours of use with 15 hours SOT. If the battery holds up like this and gives me more than that I'll be happy for sure!!
[LG V20 Accessories] cavanaughnick:
For people like me, who like to use their phone a lot for everything (work, communication, news, etc.), having a phone with long battery life is crucial. Sadly, more phone makers are making thinner phones instead of adding bigger batteries, leading to many dead smartphones. Fortunately, Zerolemon is there to save the day. Disclaimer: I received this product at a discounted rate in exchange for an honest review. I am reviewing the LG V20 10,000mAh Extended Battery. Product Link: http://zerolemon.com/product/lg-v20...-180-days-zerolemon-warranty-guarantee-black/ This case is for the LG V20. This battery more than triples your phone’s battery life (standard battery: 3,000mAh, Zerolemon battery: 10,000mAh; 3.33 times the capacity). This allows light users to go up to 3 days without needing a charge and heavy users to go upwards of 2 full days with the phone surviving everything you throw at it (music, texting, navigation, YouTube, full brightness, productivity apps, gaming, etc.) I was pulling 14-15 hours of Screen On Time, with over 50 hours usage overall. Make no mistake: this makes your phone HUGE. The phone will become almost an inch thick, and considerably heavier. However, it is not unbearable; I have average to slightly above-average sized hands, and I even find it manageable to use with one hand, depending on what I’m doing (texting, browsing the web, scrolling social media is all fine one-handed). Gaming or watching videos, anything that requires landscape mode, will most likely require two hands to hold comfortably. However, anyone looking for an extended battery should assume that it makes your phone bigger, and know the tradeoff. I have grown quite accustomed to it and now I feel weird if I hold a phone that DOESN’T have a battery case on it.

There are 2 slight downsides with this case: first, the battery does not come with NFC. There are some external antenna stickers you can attach to the battery to give NFC capability, so it is not a huge issue. Second, the case feels a little lacking on protection. Other battery cases (ones that actually charge the phone, since no other brand of phones have removeable batteries) feature a more rugged, 3-piece design that protects the phone a lot more than the thinner TPU case that the V20 battery comes with. This isn’t a huge issue for me, since I never drop my phone (maybe it’s luck, or perhaps it’s the realization that I can’t afford to replace a broken $700 phone that makes me keep a death grip on it?); therefore, protection isn’t as big of a priority to me as extreme battery life.

Despite the minor flaws to this battery, I still rate it a solid and outstanding 10/10. I highly recommend this to any V20 owner that is looking for more battery life. Whether you like to go on camping trips, go traveling, aren’t near a charger all day, or just want a bigger battery that you can crank up to the max, the Zerolemon is the one for you!!
[LG V20 Accessories] fclifton:
Could you give more specifics on an NFC sticker that would work? Thanks!
[LG V20 Accessories] cavanaughnick:
http://www.ebay.com/itm/LG-V10-Inte...113519?hash=item2a7aa2c2ef:g:NFwAAOSwt6ZWUReB

Something like this. you take the back cover off and attach this to the gold terminals that are on the inner part of the phone (terminal points vary with phone model). Haven't seen one made for the V20 yet, but if the G3 or G4 NFC spots were in a similar place one of those might work for the V20. Once they make one for the V20 i'll buy it, or if someone confirms that one from the G3 or G4 will work on the V20
[LG V20 Accessories] fclifton:
I see. I thought maybe you had found one specifically for the V20. You didn't mention one form the V10 - do you know if the V10 one would work or not?

Hello everyone,

I usually buy the zerolemon and ship it home to the middle east.

However, with the new flight regulations, I am not able to ship it anywhere outside the US whether directly or througha carrier.

Does anyone know what can be done in this case?
[LG V20 Accessories] evo4g63t:
Do you know anyone in the states that can ship it to you? Or is this flight restriction anything from the US? If that's the case this is new to me.
[LG V20 Accessories] dublinboy:
Is this really the best on the market? I love the V20 partly because it's so good looking, I don't want to turn it into a lump of plastic. Anyone have a picture of the 10000mAh?

[LG V20 Accessories] partylikeaninjastar:
Best is subjective. If you don't mind that it turns your phone into a brick, then it's the best.

I'd put my money towards a smaller 6400 mAh extended battery. I'm using the ZL right now, but would prefer the other extended batteries.

Zerolemon V20

I have been using this case for a couple of weeks now. I have to say that is really something that I am glad to have for those extra long days, trips, day at the amusement park, etc. etc. It is thick yes, but it is much lighter than the Zerolemon that I had for my Note5. And holy hell you just cannot kill the thing. I stayed home from work sick earlier this week, so I was watching Youtube and Netflix most of the day. At one point in the day I had 12hrs off the charger, 5hrs SOT and I was still at 82% battery. I ended the 2 day stretch with 49hrs off the charger with 16.68hrs SOT. I do not use the case everyday, but it is awesome to have when you need/want it! The case itself is very basic, it does the job, but is not heavy duty in any way. The battery supports fast charge, up to a point, but if it is dead, be prepared to have that bad boy charge over night if you want to get it back to 100%. I would love a smaller version, but if you are a road warrior, or just like to go hard on gaming and movies, this Zerolemon is definitely worth it.
[LG V20 Accessories] dublinboy:
6400mAh would be enough for me. I think modding the Hyperion is the way to go for now.

How do you go about using the warranty to get more? I screwed up installing the first so I'd like to grab another 2 and have them on hand in case this one breaks. So far so good with it, only gripes so far is only the sides and camera location is sticky and not the entire piece of glass and the opening for the front facing camera isn't exactly where it should be making the glass slightly off-center but not too bad.
