LG V20 Battery Case, ZeroLemon LG V20 10000mAh TriCell Extended Battery with Soft TPU Full Edge Protection Case - Black

I pre-ordered my LG V20 knowing someone was going to release a 9600 or 10000mAh battery for it. I finally gave up my Note 3 with it's Hyperion extended battery, and was so glad when I read that Zerolemon was making this battery and case.Checking the Amazon link every day paid off, because I purchased on Wednesday and had it in my hands on Friday 1/20.So was it worth the wait? I am happy to report that it is. I kept the battery charging overnight on Friday, and have run this phone like a rented mule for the last two days, and I still have 41% charge left. That's 36 hours used and 24 estimated to go. Check out the screenshot. Normally Idon't play so much Minecraft or run the GPS for so long, or watch so many episodes of Grimm. So this truly looks to be a 3 day battery.If you are looking at this battery you shouldn't be surprised by it's bulk. It is bulky and it is heavy. The battery feels like a quality piece, and I am surprised at how good the TPU case fits. But it's big. I'm 6' 3" with XL hands and it's taken me 2 days to get used to a big battery and case again. It fits the front pocket of my jeans just fine, but I wouldn't buy it for my 5' 5" wife.The case fits surprisingly well, with only the smallest bit of play at the sides near the top. The cutout on the back is large enough to accomodate the field of view of the wide angle lens, and actually makes the fingerprint sensor eaiser to find. The cutouts for the top mic, the IR blaster, the headphone jack, bottom mic, USB-C, and speaker are all a perfect fit, and allow easy access for the appropriate plugs.My only initial complaint is that the sides and bottom of the case are really flat and square. Just a little more curve into the back would make the case feel slimmer in the hand. My daughter sang the "Brick jingle" from Phineas and Ferb when she held it.The finish and color is a dark black with a fine metallic sparkle. This gives just enough texture to keep the phone in hand, but I miss the side bumps of the Hyperion note 3 case. There is enough lip around the screen to protect from drops and it fits well with my Incipio screen protector.I will be using this as my every day case. I will update this review when I drop my phone.UPDATEFinally dropped my phone, flung it really, 3 feet down and 4 feet away from me across the concrete driveway. It bounced on it's corner and landed face down. Dang. Picked it up, light scratches on the tpu case on the corner and face. My phone is fine. No damage to the body of the phone or the screen :-) I don't want to do that every day, but all is well.

Using an iCharger 208B, I ran a discharge test on the stock and ZeroLemon LG V20 batteries. The batteries were charged to 4.39V and discharged to 3.20V at a continuous 500mA rate.- The original LG battery is rated at 3000mAh. Testing returned 3,017mAh, 0.6% higher than rated- The ZeroLemon battery is rated at 10000mAh. Testing returned 10,427mAh, 4.3% higher than rated.Weights with sim and microsd cards installed:- Stock battery and battery cover weighs 175g/0.39lb- Stock battery and battery cover, in a thin flexible TPU case weighs 203g/0.45lb- ZeroLemon battery and Zerolemon case weighs 330g/0.73lbBattery capacity is as described - a strong 10+ Amp-Hours, for 39 Watt-hours total energy. Weight is almost twice as heavy as a naked V20, at 89% heavier. This drops to 63% heavier when compared to a V20 housed in one of the cheap TPU cases. The weight differences would be even more marginal once looking at a heavier-duty case for the V20.The ZeroLemon battery/case combo has a new shape, but the same traditional construction that almost all ZL extended batteries have. The battery simply replaces the stock battery, and the case replaces the phone's rear cover. I've never had an issue with this design. It may not be pretty, but it is completely functional. The case fits the V20 perfectly - not tight, and not loose.For meeting rated capacity and being a design that I've grown used to over the last 5-years across five different phones, I am rating this product at 5-stars.

They've done it again!I'll start by saying this is my third ZeroLemon extended phone battery. I offered to review the last one and this time they offered me a discount code for my purchase so I was able to buy this at a great discounted price and agreed to write a review. With that said...I would have bought it anyway!Nothing out of the ordinary here. If you've owned a ZeroLemon extended battery before everything will be familiar to you. The battery comes with a TPU case. (Which is currently - and probably always will be - the only case you'll be able to use with this battery.)I also have the ZeroLemon for my Note 2 (retired) and my LG V10. (previous phone)Compared with the LG V10 version I think the V20 case has a little better protection as the front edges are a little "taller". I actually like the way this one stands a little higher around the screen and offers what looks like a little more protection around the front edges. You can place your phone with the screen down with no worries.The case is a little squeaky/creaky on the edges. When I reach to pick the phone up by the left and right sides, as I pinch to grip it, there's a creaking sound. It doesn't really bother me but I could see it bothering some people. It gives the impression of being a less than perfect fit. The volume buttons work with no problems but again, there's a slight feeling of the case edges not being as snug against the phone as they were with my previous case. I'm not sure if it's a fitment issue as much as the fact that the case is just not that stiff on the side edges so they're not as snug and can be pulled away with your finger. I was using a UAG case before this one and those have pretty stiff sides even though they're "rubbery". The ZeroLemon TPU definitely doesn't have that level of protection.One thing I don't like as much as my other two ZeroLemon TPUs is the way that the case slants down in the back as it reaches the top of the phone.I actually like the square look from the V10 version and this one is a little funny looking with that big dished area around the camera that is lower than the rest of the case. However, I'm pretty sure it's a necessary evil due to the fact that the V20 has a wide angle lens and it doesn't take much to block the view. I'm sure if the case was not dished out it would block the wide angle view.So, the size. It's 10,000 mAh. It's huge! It's heavy! It's wonderful!If you don't want a thick phone you probably shouldn't be looking at this battery. Personally, I prefer my phone to have a little weight and grip to it so I like the thickness of the phone with an extended battery. I am very used to the size as I have been using these for a few years now as my daily driver so to me it's normal.I always use a FlyGrip with my phone, extended battery or not. You'll be seeing it in the pictures. With these heavy batteries it really helps me especially when I'm lounging around. Sitting on the couch or laying in bed, holding a heavy phone/battery combination is killer on the fingers and wrist and the FlyGrip makes a huge difference!I did use the phone with the ZeroLemon for a few days before I attached my FlyGrip though. For regular usage, such as pulling it out of my pocket while I'm out and about to look something up or check Facebook etc., I didn't really have any issues with it. I find that the large size makes it easier to grip and hold on to. My FlyGrip is just the icing on the cake.As far as battery life is concerned? This thing is a beast! You won't be looking for a wall charger any time soon. This will get you easily through 2 very heavy days of usage. (I mean heavy!) My setup: I pretty much *never* use WiFi. I tend to have strong signal unless I'm in the back of a store like Target or something. (T-Mobile LTE 99% of the time) GPS/Location High accuracy is always on. Bluetooth is on probably 50% of the time. I do *a lot* of browsing and Googling. I use Google Navigation regularly. I only work Monday-Wednesday so my weekend is Thursday-Sunday.My first fully charged day was a Tuesday. I ended the day at 67% after 16hrs 53min unplugged. Day 1 Screen on time was 5h 58m. I went to bed after 3 am and picked up my phone again at 10:46 am Wednesday...still 67%!I ended day 2 of my first full charge at 18% with 40hrs 48min on battery. Screen on time was 13hrs 30min. I had to work the next day so I decided to give it a full charge that night. I bet I could have made it through another day but I didn't want to deal with batteries at work just for the sake of testing so I decided I'd push that on my second cycle since that would be over the weekend.I unplugged Thursday morning for my "weekend" test. Definitely heavier usage. I'm on my phone all the time (wasting time!) on the weekend. My next screen shot was from Friday night. 20% I decided to push through Saturday just to see how long it would go. (Normally, I'd just plug in overnight) A little after 3pm on Saturday I was at 11% with 52hrs 20min on battery.15hrs 6min Screen On time. The night was young. I gave in and put it on the charger for a quick boost. That ends my second full charge.Here's the kicker. I charged it overnight Saturday and pulled it Sunday morning around 11 am. Used it all day Sunday (not a work day) then worked Monday-Wednesday and that thing just kept going! I was at 5% on Wednesday at 8:55 pm. I was prepared this time with my OEM battery just in case so I decided to push it. I just put it back in my pocket and kept going. Left work at 10:30 pm and didn't put it on the charger until it hit 2% which was 11:08 pm Wednesday night. Sunday morning through Wednesday night? I'll take it!Now I'll admit, this is totally unnecessary since I had access to plugs for charging every night... but a battery that can get me through 3+ days of moderate use is a keeper in my book.A lot of this is due to the really good standby time I'm experiencing with the LG V20. The battery will last longer through a span of workdays (lighter usage) than it does over the weekend. (heavy usage)All in all I know that I can unplug and easily go 2 days with no issues whether it's light or heavy usage. It helps me to know that I can look down and see 30% or even 20% and not worry that I'm going to have to plug in or adjust my usage for the day to conserve.My battery goal is to never worry about it and use my phone however I want and the ZeroLemon definitely accomplishes that for me.Although I've found that the size and bulk of the phone with this battery just in itself makes it less likely to be dropped, I still wish they'd use a UAG style case rather than just the plain TPU. With this extra weight and bulk a little extra protection would be nice. I don't think I'd want a rugged Otterbox Defender type case as it would just be too big for me but a nice tight fitting hybrid type case would make this pretty much perfect for me.Charging:The battery will quick charge with the OEM V20 charger. However, you'll have to leave it on the charger for a while even after it *thinks* it has reached 100%. I prefer to charge mine overnight when I want to be sure of a full charge. If you do a quick charge to 100% and pull it off right away, it will drop quickly to around 60% - 70% but then discharge normally. I confirmed it fits on the external LG Battery Charger/Case. I have the BCK-5200 Charging Kit (Extra OEM Battery, Battery Charger/Case and Battery Case) and it can be used to charge the ZeroLemon with the only exception being that you can't close the door which is not necessary unless you are using it as a battery case.Unlike the V10 + ZeroLemon combo which would show that it was very low but then show 30%-40%after a battery pull/restart, the V20 reads the battery percentage correctly which is a very welcome improvement! 10% is 10% and 2% is 2%. There was no change when I tested by shutting down, pulling the battery and restarting. I don't think this has anything to do with ZeroLemon but instead is probably related to Nougat or something that LG changed.I think that about sums up my very long review!Overall I am very happy with the performance of this battery. The only change I'd make is to the TPU. If they offered a UAG or Otterbox Commuter style protective case...I'd buy it!

Outstanding battery life. Only wished there was a belt clip or holster. It's a little bulky.

My phone would die after about 4 hours of use with the LG stock battery. Now I can go basically 2 days without charging.This is a great product.

Happy with the product. Works as expected.

2-3 days

Love this thingto me a phone that needs to be plugged in less that 2 to 5 days in use is useless as a safety equipmentwith this you have a tool you can use..

My OEM battery was struggling to last through my work day so I decided to get this one. I'm very glad that I did.

With this battery, you will definitely be able to get 2 days out of your phone. Disappointed with ZeroLemon however due to the one piece that slips over the phone to hold the...

This product met all my expectations. It extends my battery life over 24hrs. Purchased one for my wife and she loves it.

Love it

At first it seemed to work just fine. But after the second month the battery life started degrading rapidly. I now barely get a full day out of the battery before it dies.
