Because it's poor quality.

Getting back on topic, this TQTHL battery has been performing brilliantly. I've gone out of town for a whole weekend without my charger and came back home after 48 hours with still a further 15 hours (estimated) in reserve. I'm truly impressed!

No external batteries for me now.

Thanks much. Can this battery or any of the others be used with just stock firmware and still get an accurate battery percentage usage reading?

Not really. The phones are calibrated to their lesser capacity batteries, so even after running the battery low a few times, you won't get the same accuracy but it will be reasonable.

In essence, you'll get to the 1% mark and then have around another ten hours to spare.

Use a third party battery app, like GSAM Pro and that'll serve you better than the stock battery meter.

Throwing in my .02
I have 2 zerolemon 10,000
One has started random reboots after about a year.
The no holster is a deal breaker for me. Yes we could modify the zerolemon case as mentioned but if I had to choose. I would pick another zerolemon.

I did a diy fix for the exposed area around the camera. And if done right a stock back will still fit.
Get the thinnest faux leather fabric, use the stock back as a template, and super glue the fabric in place once satisfied with the fit.

I'm having trouble picturing what you're talking about here. Are you talking about the exposed area between the camera lens and the flash through the Zerolemon case?

I agree with all your other sentiments though about the case. If I had to buy one from the very beginning again, I would certainly do all that I've done so far - buy a Zerolemon because of the case + holster and then replace the dying Zerolemon battery with a TQTHL. Perhaps enough of us can nag TQTHL into making a similar case for these things but I suspect given the phone's age, they probably wouldn't see the value in doing so.

I just wanted to post my experience with the TQTHL 11800mAh extended battery. I recently picked up a Verizon Note 4. I suspected the battery to be the original, and while it would last through the day, didnt last as long as I would like, especially with the brightness turned all the way up. As beautiful as the display is on this phone, I wasnt able to enjoy it as I should. So, I set out to do some homework on batteries.... knowing there are so many knockoffs out there now for factory replacements.

I came here and read about this battery, and thought... "why not"? I mean, I am a light user by today's standards, but liked the idea of this battery. I ordered it here from Amazon: TQTHL 11,800 Battery I followed advice I read about making sure it was charged fully before use, so I charged it until the lightning bolt disappeared, not when it said "100%". I then began using it. Now remember, I am a light user.... but I still got almost 7 days out of the initial charge. I didnt let the phone run down till it shut off, as the display was so dim, it could not be seen at 1%. I then charged it again until the lightning bolt disappeared, and am not over 2 days with 70% left. So, I have nothing but positive things to say about the battery's performance. I also, have no issue with the cover/back that comes with it, other than I wish it had a little more of a "soft rubbery" grip to it, so when you lay it down, it would grab a little better. But, I wouldnt take any points off for that, as that is just opinion. Some people like a hard case. I like it soft so it will grip and not slide. The weight of the battery does make this quite a bit heavier. On my digital scale, this is what I came up with:

Phone W/Factory Battery/No Case = 6.25oz
Phone W/Factory Battery/CaseMate Case = 8oz
Phone W/TQTHL Battery/TQTHL Case = 12.25oz

So it essentially doubles the weight of the phone. This was not an issue for me, as it made the phone more stable in my older hands. What was an issue for me, was reception. I live in a fringe area to begin with, and Verizon is the only carrier with service here. I normally run about -95db to -110db, but am able to make/receive calls dependably. The TQTHL extended battery, covers the phone antenna, and degrades my signal strength down to -120db to -130db, causing me to have dropped calls, and the phone having difficulty locking on a signal. I never even thought of this when I ordered the battery.

I absolutely LOVE this battery, but will more than likely sell it and find a stock size replacement.... probably an Anker. As much as I love the battery and its performance, it does me no good if I cant use the phone. If you have at least a decent signal where you live, then I highly recommend this battery. If you are in a fringe area, I wouldnt recommend it due to the battery covering the antenna and hindering reception.

For problem with brightness level below 5% i am using "Brightness level" app, it does the job. Mainly it needs to be used, becouse last 1% holds for at least 2 hours SoT, it is better to monitor Voltage than percentage.

Its not a problem for me. Getting another hour or two out of it was of no importance to me whatsoever. The only reason it was that low in the first place was to calibrate the phone. I will run it down that low again this time... then it will never see below 20% - 40% before being charged

FYI.... if things keep going as they are now, I will keep the TQTHL battery. FINALLY got WiFi calling lined out with Verizon on my Note 4, and so far, it has worked fine. If this continues, the battery causing no reception at my home by covering the antenna, wont matter. I love how long this battery lasts me, and was trying everything to be able to keep it.

what is the best compact and thin power bank for samsung phone at this moment ?
Extended battery capacity with no extra space only, you might get up to 3800 MAH more and use stock cases but that is the best you get.

All the 8000 MAH+ battery cases will pretty much be almost the same size except the Zerolemon.

Maybe, the 7000 MAH power bear case with the rigid case might be what you are looking for?
