Bests & Worsts Reviews from Amazon

If there was NFC, this battery would rule them all. Arggh... it takes forever to charge, you have to kind of have to jam it into the back of the Note II- and it makes the phone an absolute brick. I'm a tech junkie, and thought that the lack of NFC was a deal breaker, but, this battery feels endless. I'm definitely a power user, and carry an extra Hyperion battery with me sometimes. Bluetooth music streaming, while net surfing and reading ebooks- that's what I put my Note II through all the time. I play music through the AUX port in my car system whenever I'm driving around. Then my phone is an MP3 player, gps and all around entertainment system when I'm shopping. I read ebooks when I'm in line, I'll watch a movie that I downloaded to my SD Card when I'm at the DMV or waiting for my car to be fixed at the shop. I almost always have this Note II in my hand. I live in Philly and sometimes take day trips to NYC. I was looking for a battery solution that will last no matter how long I am away from a charger. It's not fun to be stuck in another city with a dead cell phone. It's always better to have and not need, than need and not have. That's my philosophy. This looks like it will do the job. This will not be my everyday battery, I have three smaller ones (2 Hyperion + 1 stock), but, this will be a back up for long long days. Shipping was fast, although you should expect to spend the first day just charging the battery. If you want endless power, this looks like the ticket. It's relatively cheap, but pretty heavy. I'll give an update once I power use it for an entire weekend. I don't want to be- but I'm in. I like it, and don't really need NFC for $50 more. Good job on this. -- Update-- So this is becoming my every day case. you can do NFC tricks with Wifi and bluetooth settings in NFC Task Launcher. Having power that doesn't budge pretty much all day is getting addicting. I did notice some lag issues and funky things after changing to this new setup. The issues aren't terrible- I'm actually nervous about switching back to regular batteries, this thing has quickly skewed my perception of how long my Note II can last. It's not for everyone- smaller people may have a problem with the size, but, when you're holding it, the phone is thicker by feels really manageable somehow. Weird. Very pleasantly surprised. -- Another update--- I tried to kill this battery, and will upload a screen shot. I'll probably get about 40 hours of power on one full charge. This includes heavy bluetooth streaming, netflix watching and other power hungry activities. Like everyone else says, this is the only battery you'll ever need. Insane. ----4.29.13 Update--- I'm looking forward to case with a kickstand and otterbox type protection. This battery is 5+ star product. That's why it's selling out as soon as ZeroLemon stocks Amazon's warehouses with the product. I'll use the stock battery for-- I have no idea, maybe when I'm doing the Couch 2 5K app run in the mornings since this won't fit in my armband as is. I don't see any other reason to swap out this battery- it makes me want to use my phone even more often now. I'll plug headphones in while using my laptop just because I can or watch a show on hulu plus in bed instead of on the couch. Just like the Note II is not for everyone (ie., I-people who are nervous about too much confusing technology), this battery is not for everyone. But as you can see by the reviews, the people who want perpetual juice are in love with this product. I'm one of them. ---11.12.13 Update--- An ultra-rugged case has come out for the Note II Zerolemon battery combo. I purchased it a couple days ago and will report back on how it performs. I think this battery is the single best accessory purchase I've made for the Note II. Nothing comes close for me. Months later and I usually end up around 60% battery after two day's use. It's unreal.
