After one of my zerolemon 7000mAh batteries went through the wash, and fried the electronics (cells still worked fine), I decided to combine them and make a 6 cell, 14000mAh battery. I then saw this project, and decided to beat the storage capacity too. I've wired up some 2A usb ports directly into the battery (these). They can be used for everything from charging another phone or tablet to powering a usb hub or hard drive (the end goal).

Here's the battery, with the phone
in the picture to show size.
It can power hubs...
Charge my mom's phone (15 times over)...
And technically even charge itself.
PS:This is my first post, sorry if I'm breaking any posting standards.
In my opinion, the Samsung Galaxy S3 suffers the same battery issues of all other Android smartphones which usually lasts less than a day of performance. Owners can extend its battery life even longer than expected by simply tweaking and using essential tricks on Galaxy S3.Aside from mobile data, watch out for other wireless radios such as Wi-Fi, Bluetooth and NFC which consumes power and you must turn them off whenever not in use. Whenever there is an available and decent Internet connection via Wi-Fi, use it instead of mobile data to preserve power on your phone. Whenever you are not using any Internet connection or high tasking services, activate the Power Saver from the notifications shade to manage battery life better.

I was contacted to try this product out. I will say initially I was skeptical. But after using it for a few days it really is perfect for what its intended use is. It is basically a spot charger. You need a quick boost just attach it and let it charge. It comes with a nice lightweight cord. The product itself is very lightweight and comes with a clip. It can easily fit in a pocket or purse for the ladies. The quality is excellent. The flashlight is very nice, with 3 modes Hi or low beam and also an emergency type strobe setting. The flashlight is very bright.
I have used it everyday for the last week. The first use it charged my phone from 15% to 95% within an hour. It completely exhausted it to empty. After testing it in different circumstances I have found it is best to use for about a half hour at a time. Just give the phone a quick charge. That should get you about a 30-50% increase based on my testing. Then just use it as needed. It charges back up to full in about an hour. It is also very durable. The build quality is excellent. It also comes in 4 different colors.
So in my opinion if you use it for a quick charge as needed, it is perfect. If you need something more constant, than this is not for you. I feel it is the perfect size and has the speed charge for quick uses throughout the day. If you want something useful for your phone, then this is really for you. The flashlight comes in handy also.

Is anyone having an issue with charging their S6 on other chargers? I just picked up my Edge and it randomly keeps making the sound as if I just plugged it in. I will note that this has been on after market 2A chargers with the stock cable. I haven't noticed it yet on the stock charger but have only used that overnight so I may not have noticed. Wondering if there is something wrong with the phone or if it's really that sensitive to which charger is used. Yesterday while plugged into my 2A car charger, it showed it was charging, but the battery was actually dropping while streaming music through Bluetooth.
I have charged my phone at work with my
company phones charger, (Motorola) and have not heard any noise when charging.. I used the Motorola cable and charger plug.. I did not try it with the Samsung cable and Motorola charger.
I havent had that issue...but one thing I *do* know charging via USB takes ffffoooorrrreeeevvvveeerrrrrr
I may have to get this phone replaced under warranty when they are back in stock near me. Something doesn't seem right... Battery monitor says "discharging" AC plugged... And the battery is dropping as I type this (about 5% in 5 minutes while plugged in). Also, after checking the battery in android settings, the estimated time left seems terrible. 91% and only 21 hours on ultra power saving mode? Shouldn't that be a few days? 21 hours is what I expect to see for normal operation, not black and white u. Power save... (See screenshots)

I had an issue with my phone and resolved it, this is me sharing this particular error and solution.
First the Problem:
I had my ZL running low on charge and the next morning it would not react to anything.
pushing buttons (and a combination of buttons, like power+volumeup) did not work
connecting it to the charger
connecting to pc did not show the device or trigger a reaction (did not show up in device manager)
Solution A: Install a new battery (e. g. via IFIXIT guide).
Solution B (try on your own risk!!!):
Open the backcover of the device (i used the IFIXIT disassembly guide).
You dont need to remove the main curcuit board, you just need to disconnect the flex-cable of the battery shown in the picture below, the pink marker shows the battery connector (top right).

I bent the connector so that it was accessible with my universel charger, which looks like this
I connected the two marked connectors go to the + and - on the flex-cable of the battery and the charger signaled that it was charging the battery.
I guess you can use any universal charger of this fashion. Do not use your standard usb charger, it's dangerous!
After 10-20 minutes i reassembled the phone and was able to charge it normally, start it up, etc.
I'm no expert but this is what I think happend:
A completely drained and at the same time worn out battery did not allow chrging the divice. Mine was 20 months old. The phone controls the charging process I think, so maybe there was not enough power left for that.
I will be replacing my devices battery with a new one and I suggest the same I you have had the same problem.
I hope this helps

So, huh, my Z2P is dead (the screen broke) and I guess I won't be able to even pay the cost of the new replacement screen.
They are charging 75$ for a GENERIC, non-original replacement screen in my nearest repair phone store.
Seems like a bad deal to me, so instead of paying those 75$, I got this nice used phone in 100$ called Xiaomi Mi 8 Lite.
I have one question, should I disconnect the battery from the board?
And if disconnected I don't have to charge it again? Or should I charge like every once in a month?
I know that having lithium batteries totally discharged for a long time isn't good at all.
So I guess I won't be participating in this forum anymore. Was pretty fun while it lasted.
BTW, it seems that this battery isn't 3000mAh at all, it says 2820mAh.

Sorry LEo. I guess I don't understand why you want to charge the battery if the phone is no good?

Click to expand...
Click to collapse
The phone can be repaired but some batteries die when they aren't charged in a long time, and as long as the battery is connected to the board it will keep it draining very slowly even if the phone is not turned on, this may cause the battery to be completely drained out, and if not charged every once in a while it can die pretty quickly and never charge again.
ello guys I have a LG G FLEX for many years I can not let go of it, I have already bought several spare parts they are always getting the high price. I got tired of buying batteries. they always have a problem with me that is, the phone restarts even with a high battery percentage it always restarts depending on the application that is used, doing some tests I got the battery charged I used a multimeter I tested the poles all ok, I tried to turn on a weak led without problems, everything turned on smoothly, I used a lamp that consumed more current, so the battery started to drop to zero at intervals, I opened the battery and tested it without going through her circuit, I tested it directly on her poles so there was no problem, so the problem was in the circuit small battery, I tried to do a search I didn't find much I saw a video of a gentleman saying that he has a limiter in the battery circuits but the circuit he presented was totally different from mine, I'm not very deep in electronics I took about three old batteries and I tried to find out what that limiter would be and I pulled out a component that I think might be it but I'm not sure yet That's why I come here looking for people with more experience in the matter, I even added a power bank battery to my lg today it turned off twice I already think that the part I removed can't be the right one I'm leaving the circuit photo here . it would be easy to just remove the circuit but if I do that the cell phone will not show the percentage anymore I won't know when it charges and it will be dangerous, so I need the circuit working but without the current limiter, I thought of an electronic schematic in my head I'll leave the image here too, I don't know if it will work, I need the cell phone to read the battery percentage and at the same time not limit the current.
