Original 5G 30gb Video was ~450-580mAH per Apple thats 14 hr max, but this battery only also gives me 14 hrs max with full charge and low volume, why?

I don't understand what you are asking. The power is ok but you have low volume?

I fully charge mine and the stick it in my bag before work, sometimes I use it and others I don't. Went about three days with it off and in my bag, and when I plugged my iPhone 5 in it still had a full charge. The battery light indicators are very helpful for just checking the battery status. It's an amazing battery, charges my iPhone faster than it would by laptop or wall charger, I love it.

it doesnt matter 8gb or 16gb they have the same battery life, its battery life is like 4-7 hours depending on how you use it... Its battery life isnt even close to what apple claim it to be.

It looks 3000 only can fully charge iPhone 1.5 times but 6000 can make it 3 times. So if you use on iPad mini, 6000 is better cause it needs more power to run and charge

we were able charge it to 100% and use it for 1 or 2 days. We used the phone only for 2 months till we could upgrade to new phone. Phone did got reset one or two times, which use to happen very often on an hourly basis before changing to this battery. My take is there is no perfect battery unless you send it to apple. For this price it is worth the gamble.

I would send it back . The one that I bought isn't great but it does hold the charge . its not the quality of an apple product, but it does the job .

A good brand regular battery seems to last several hours. Am pretty sure you can add music to it from iTunes. I'm very pleased with mine and have gotten hours of pleasure from it and found it simple to use even though I am up there in age (almost 70).

The battery charges an iPhone 5 and iPad mini, both running iOS7, but upon connection you are given a warning about the accessory. If the warning is likely to bother you, I'd pick a battery that boasts certification. It'll be really easy to tell which products are actually certified once iOS7 is released next week. (Personally, I hope that Limeade goes through the certification process and starts using the right connectors, they otherwise make an excellent product.)

Hi Dennis. We bought the same item last July for our iPhone 5s 7.1.2os. The first bumper executed well giving us nearly 10hrs battery extension which was a very very plus but after the initial charging it sort of manifested a minor glitch showing a prompt saying the device is not supported and referred this matter to Maxboost which they resolved right away by sending a new item of the same model. We've not encountered any problem since. We're very happy with the purchase, very pleased with the customer service. Highly satisfied customers. I hope this info helps.

Did you do the recommended complete drain and fully recharge method they recommended. If you have the same macbook pro I have it has been a power hog from the start. I just bought a new battery, it last only about an hour and a half, that is with all the power saving options turned on. Also the display turned down. My battery never lasted very long even when new.

Put this battery in my wife's 2009 Macbook (the white one). This one is hard to answer, because you'd have to be using it continually to get a good read on battery life, and she doesn't use it that way. She can charge it, and with moderate, intermediate use, it won't need a charge for maybe 8 hours. We suspect if she were to use it continually, it would be more like 3, maximum. Generally, we expected much better performance from a new battery, but it is better than the nearly dead one it replaced. Oh, we also did follow the instructions for cycling it from full charge to fully drained several times. Put this battery in my wife's 2009 Macbook (the white one).

so far for last couple of months that looks like the battery hold a full charge on video and music to last up to 5 to 6 hours. it's less than 4 months old so u have to judge that yourself.

The battery is pretty decent at full charge. I think it is around 5000 mah. However if you want to stream stuff it is bad. The software is not good

I returned this battery. It never would hold a charge from the very first day I purchased it. I bought the Max Boost; it's more expensive but worth the money. The Max Boost has not given me any problems at all; I've already upgraded and keep it on my phone at all times. Sry I could not answer your question.

Not certain. When running low I plug in for 4 hours and I seem to get a full charge.

I just got the 16GB for Christmas. After reading all the battery posts, the first thing I did was charge it fully, then play it until the battery died. I got 20+ hours. I think a lot has to do with how often the screen is "lit". If you're constantly shuffling through, picking songs, adjusting volume etc. i think one would get less life than just playing it like I did (the screen was black most of the time since I wasn't adjusting anything). And of course, i would expect video or games to kill the battery even quicker. That would be a good test, play a video straight through and see the life. I don't have any videos loaded, so I can't really test that. I just got the 16GB for Christmas.

I noticed a huge improvement. I went from not being able to get a full day of 12-15 hours of medium use (texting, emails, Facebook, news, some video, etc) to having about 40-50% of the charge left at the end of the day with this battery. It does take longer to charge, and as with all extended life batteries makes the phone a bit bigger, but the increased size didn't bother me. I upgraded my phone after about 6 months, so I can't give a review of how the battery performed beyond 6 months, but I thought it was a better and smaller option than an external battery.
