Charging zero lemon battery?

[I_Am_Lorde]

For the initial charge it states to charge for 12 hours. Does it matter if the phone is on or off? That wasn't mentioned in the paperwork

It'll charge the same, don't worry it doesn't matter, the point is just to charge it for that long
It'll actually charge a bit faster if the phone is off though, but just a but since the OS isn't running

I made sure to Fully Charge mine before using it. Left the battery charging for about an hour past when it was fully charged. Then I took it down to 1% before Charging it again. Did the same Process for the first three charging cycles.

Does anyone know the purpose of letting it go down 1% before charging it. I just curious about that.

There are several schools of thought on the subject of training your Battery. You can get information in the links below.

After the intial first 4 charges from 100% to 2% can you charge it regulary like charging it everynight at any battery percentage and it be ok?

Yes, that should be ok. No matter what Battery I use, once a month it gets taken down to about 1-2% , then a Full Charge.

And that will prolong your battery life! :thumbup::thumbup::thumbup:

I just got mine today and charged it to 100% and so far I've lost 5% battery in 30 minutes. Is this normal for these batteries?

Depends on how ur using it. Even with extreme use it will last for over a day. If u babysit it it can last a week.

Ahhhh I see. For some reason from 100-90 went pretty quick, but it is now 6 hours later and I've been playing games and its still at 85%!

I've actually found that if I unplug my phone with the ZeroLemon battery too soon after it hits 100% the battery will drop very fast so I leave it plugged in for 1 hour after it hits 100% and then it goes down very slowly. For example, right now my phone has been unplugged for 3 1/2 hours and I've been using it most of that time and it's only down to 90%. If I'd unplugged it as soon as it hit 100% I would've been down to 90% within 30 minutes.

Ahhh I see, good to know! My first run was OK I guess. Although I want to experience 2 days and some hours like some others on my kernel are experiencing. Here's my first day's run. I play a few games constantly as you can see lol...

The biggest thing is to follow the initial charging instructions. You can also check out the thread HERE for Kernel Tweaks. Then you will see some truly impressive off charger time, and screen on time.

 

[haoleflip]

Yeah, I've been running RERick's universal settings for the kernel.

On the package it says "Recharge battery once a month."

What does that mean? You can only charge the battery one time every month?

No, it means if you aren't using it for months at a time, to plug it in once a month to keep it healthy (;

Mine went from 61% (fresh out of packaging) to 100% in about 3 hours, but then took 3 more hours to go from 100% to "fully charged". Now it drains much more slowly. Did you wait until charging actually was complete? The initial few charges seemed to confuse my phone's battery meter. I suspect this is because it has calibrated itself to the 3200 mAh battery, and needs to build up enough data points before it will accurately represent the charge state and rate of the 10,000 mAh pack.
