WORLD'S BIGGEST GALAXY S3 BATTERY- ZeroLemon 7000mAh Battery w/Review- add CBA result

WhoDoo Voodoo · Feb 17, 2013

I've had this for a week and it is all good. I like the feel the extra weight adds. I haven't been able to kill this thing in a day with very heavy use. I would like a kickstand case, but I'm sure it will be out soon enough. Very happy with my purchase so far.

nyrmetros · Feb 17, 2013

Yes, 1 case with a kickstand that fits both the Hyperion battery and this 6300 battery would be ideal.

Let's reserve judgment for at least a month of continuis use.... Imo.... Good reports on day 1 for you so far.

So how does 27 hours, 54 minutes, 7 hours screen on time, and 39% remaining sound?

SOUNDS AWESOME!:thumbup:

:ditto:I'm experiencing comparable results w/mine,not exactly an apples-to-apples comparison,but,well over & above anything else on the market @ this time.

As one person described the cover/case for this as MEH as for stylishness,no argument there,but,functionally,I couldn't ask for more,as I dropped my SGS III for the 1st time today,from a height of 5ft.,on to a solid concrete floor.The impact was absorbed so much,that if I weren't looking right @ it when it fell,I wouldn't have even noticed by sound alone,as the cover/case absorbed practically all the force of impact & not a scratch/crack/rattle to be found.

Following in another fellow forum members footsteps,I'm off to AMAZON to rate this 5 STARS & ordering another.Will be putting my GORILLA GADGETS 4500 & MUGEN 4600 up for sale tomorrow.:deal:

En4cer2k11 · Feb 17, 2013

I'll tell ya what, this thing is a tough nut to crack. I just spent 4 solid hours playing games TRYING to kill the battery from 15%.

rushmore · Feb 18, 2013

Jeepers. They should rename this battery to The Beast. If that thing were to blow up, it would leave a crater. Zoinks!

trucky · Feb 18, 2013

Looks like they have a 7000mAh battery coming out soon...

im sorry i have to go the opposite way on these extended batteries now. ive had the 4500mah gorilla gadgets battery and the 4300 mah extended battery, and after the first 3-4 charges im barely getting 12-14 hours out of them. my OEM will get me 8 hours out of it.
i text alot that is my most draining thing id say. i dop use the internet some and send pics(mms) i just thing this GS3 is a battery hog in itself. i love the phone and wont trade it for anything but the battery life just sucks.lol

wraithevolution · Feb 18, 2013

I just thought I'd chime back in on the battery. I really wanted to make this work with my seidio case so I was considering getting another one to cut up. But after doing some measuring, there's no way to make it work. The battery is too wide for the outer hard case part. Making the inner silicon part fit would be easy. But the hard case would lose it's lowest 2 connector arms completely rendering it stupid. Basically the bottom half could flail away and I doubt the kickstand would work well if at all. Bummer.

Anybody have this and try the NFC? There was a review on amazon that said it didn't work.

You may want to read this persons AMAZON review a bit closer. :rolleyes:

The OP of the AMAZON review obviously needs a thesaurus,as the app clearly states that his phones NFC is working by the "NFC is:supported",which,to me,translates that it is indeed working.Even the text of this message is in GREEN,which to me,would indicate a desirable/working condition.

Tested this myself,NFC w/ZEROLEMON is alive & well.

Cool - I have one on order!

Honestly I have yet to use the nfc feature of the gs3.....

jmz768 · Feb 21, 2013

I bought this battery a few weeks ago and returned it the same day. The case is horrible and was very loose on the sides. Not a little bit loose, it didn't even come close to fitting properly. Others have complained about the case as well so be sure you're willing to live with a loose case before buying.

KOLIO · Feb 21, 2013

After a week of use & 4 charging/discharging conditioning cycles,I'm getting about 20-24 hrs. of moderate use & 32-36 hrs. of light-to-medium use between charges.

Signal strength & on-screen time are the variables most affecting total run time,so,YMMV,as there are no two users alike.

Safe to say though,if you feel like you're sacrificing slimness for battery life,might as well swing for the fences & get this one,as nothing out there is gonna come close in overall run time, regardless of how you use your phone.

nyrmetros · Feb 21, 2013

Thanks for the update.

wraithevolution · Feb 25, 2013

I don't know if anyone's noticed but Zerolemon has now doubled the price of this battery. It started out at $25.00 but is now $50.00. Sheesh, glad I got mine when I did.

It jumps around. Currently its 29.99.

Just letting you guys know I purchased this battery and have been using it for about a week now. Feels very good in my hand. Great battery life (18 hours uses about 40%). I'd recommend this battery, especially for $25!

+1

I'll take this time to again give a BIG thumbsup for this battery :thumbup:

Plus,it's eligible for free shipping,so,even if you're paying only $5 total over the original price,it's still dollar for dollar per mAh the best value vs. the competing extended batteries.

I contacted them. There was some kind of mistake with Amazon. The new price is $30. A week ago they told me the 7000mah was coming out in two weeks, so one week from now. I also asked for an update on the status of the 7000 and they didn't respond to that.

guys i just did a test using battery monitor widget from 1% dead to 100% and it said 4850mAh in my experience that app is very accurate. not sure whats going on but i hope i didnt get a bad battery. that was the first full charge cycle. will do another tomorrow or the day after. it lasted me 1 day 6 hrs the fist time (LOTS of browsing). today it lasted all day and still at 71% but phone was off 8 hours while at work.

Sounds like the battery is delivering on the performance. As long as you're satisfied w/overall battery life, I wouldn't get caught up in the numbers,as the only one that really matters is battery life/total run time between charges.

im going to test my hyperion later to see what happens

I received this battery yesterday and was very impressed with the strength of it. However, I have had major issues with data signals and GPS. I had a seen some sporadic posts regarding these issues, but I am definitely having issues. I tried calling the company today only to find that both numbers (toll free and local) have been disconnected.

Help!?!?

This is a physical issue with the battery itself. Since it extends down the back of the phone, it can interfere (block) your antennas. I've seen talk about this too, some people have the issue, others do not. I don't really see any remedy for this as it's purely physical. There are other good extended batteries that will give you lots of juice, though not as much as this one, but not block your signals. If you can't get a hold of them, file something with Amazon, they're always good at helping their customers.
