Keep an eye on that. 2.5 hours seems rather low to me (lower than stock) even before cycling it several times.
With my 4500 mAh Gorilla Gadgets, it was pretty obvious from day-1 that I had roughly double the capacity. By the second discharge cycle, it was even more clear to me.

I couldn't get the battery this time around -_- had to pay bills. Next time I will, I hate bringing my charger to work. Is there any news on the rugged belt clip version?
Will do, sadly this week i have a longer commute than normal so im perhaps bashing it a little with the 3g etc.
1 hr 26 and now at 34 percent after taking it down to 4pc last night.
not sure about this now. may send them a mail.
thanks for the advice peeps

Keep the screen at 100% brightness. Then use it like you normally would. When you're at 50% tell me what percent your screen used. Also, if you're not at exactly 50% tell me exactly where you are. I'll dig up a screenshot of what I'm looking for in a bit.
Thanks for this mate, but iv sent it back as its defo not working as it should, i have ordered another and if its ok with you will certainly do as above if thats ok.
Well, the new battery arrived on Friday, I put it on charge and took it off on Saturday about mid day.
Still going 2d 9hr and change and still 35 percent left.
Iv probably used it a little more than normal as im always picking it up to see what the level is.
It does add some weight, but i like that, it also is thicker, i also like this as it means i can feel the thing.
With the promise of more battery time once ive performed a few charges i can honestly say this is well worth the money.
In terms of size its an additional one battery width thicker. Not much, noticeable but the benefit is certainly worth it for twenty pounds.
If you are considering buying an extended battery please consider this one. And no, i dont work for them but am very very impressed.
Ill pop back with a few more stats on how long its lasting with some more details and a few screenshots once i get the chance.

I can't wait to get paid next week so I can finally buy this battery, I bet the rugged belt clip version will be out the week after I purchase the battery lol.

Really?
From my experience I'll deny this.
I've had my ZL for several months now, and every once in a while I'll switch to my stock battery for a day. I really can't tell any difference in signal strength between the both.
The only thing I can tell that it interferes with is NFC/s beam. Sometimes it doesn't want to beam, most of the time I have to go to my stock battery to utilize that feature. But it's not something I use a lot so it doesn't bother me. I've used it actually only once. So yeah lol
Battery life is still very strong too, I'm still pulling minimum 2 days off of this monster.

On a different note, to me it's always seemed the tpu didn't offer that much protection as far as drops go.
Well I accidentally put that to the test tonight. Pulled my phone out, slipped from about 4 feet up. Smack face down on concrete.
No cracks or anything.
:thumbup:
I've had my zl for two months.. For the first few weeks it used to last me two days... Now.. It does a day..
Where i live the signal is poor anyway but just back from a trip to Belfast and can honestly say that it was never off H+ when data was on the GPS was also on constantly so we could see where we had been and where we were going and again took a couple of seconds at most to lock each time it was on.
It may be more to do where these people where than the battery. I will however keep an eye out over the next few days and report back.
Why don't you send it back for a refund or exchange? It has a 180-day (6-month) full warranty.

I can't wait.
I've finally seen someone show a comparison between the Zero Lemon and otter box case and there isn't much of a difference. I might have to mod the ZL case so it can fit in my belt clip lol. I'm not a fan of putting my phone in my pocket or holding it while I walk.

Oh wow its actually went up in price.
I got lucky and paid $25 for mine some odd 3 months ago or so lol
Actually... That's not a bad idea!! But before I send it off... Is there any way of doing a discharge cycle? Or reset the battery in anyway..?

I wish I knew about this battery back then. I've never been so hyped for a battery in my life, lol. I can't wait for it to get here ^_^.

You won't be disappointed I can tell you that.
I can't see me getting rid of mine until I upgrade.
When I bought Anker 4400mAh extended battery in January, the ZeroLemon was not available yet.
My Anker 4400 has started developing problems since June, (i.e., it's losing charge faster and faster, and now it lasts less than five hours of normal use; it's getting overheated and hot during use; and its physical size has gotten fatter and fatter that it can no longer fit into the extended back cover.)
Fortunately the Anker battery has an eighteen-month warranty. I emailed Anker and gotten an RMA. So I am using this opportunity to "upgrade" to a ZeroLemon 7000. I will send back the Anker to get a full refund as soon as I receive the ZeroLemon I ordered from Amazon.
I just do not like ZeroLemon's six-month warranty policy. I've used a number of extended batteries. They often start to show problems at around six months of use. The six-month warranty is really stingy compared to Anker's eighteen-month.

The only way I will is if it's a defective battery. If not then I'll be doing the same until the Note 3 is released, can you imagine a ZL battery for that? lol.
Damn, that's not cool. I can see why you wouldn't like the 6 month warranty, I guess they're that confident in their product that you get less months than the competition.

Well they do have them for the note 2 already, I'm sure they will when the note 3 launches lol.
My bets they'll up it to 9500 or even 10000 mh, Jeez I'd love to see how many hours I could pull with an extra 3000mh lol
