Very happy with mine. I get over 30 hours with just under 4 hours of screen time. Essentially, I unplug about 5:30 or 6am and I typically plug back in around 9-10pm and I usually have 40-50% left. Then again, I am not a power user, but probably an average user.

That's about spot on with mine
I purchased a spare battery along with my S5, but I've yet to ever use that battery yet.

Battery degrades over time. You could try to buy a new spare battery to change yours

Not really sure how long I get out of it, but so far my battery life is horrible. Unless I barely use the phone. I'd really like to use the zero lemon extended battery. Those are amazing. Had one on my s3 and sometimes I got 2-3 days out of it. But I'm not sure if I wanna sacrifice my water resistant back so I may just purchase an extended battery.

I hope you at least charge it sometime? It you are storing a Li-ion battery it should be at 40% charge.

I got this. Awesome set up for short $. I really don't need an extra battery but the piece of mind is nice. I just rotate them and swap out between these and the stock battery once a week or so.

I do keep it up her at around 75% (I know 40% is optimal for storage )

steve_ma how do you do on that battery? Does it give you a couple days charge or just a single day? is it worth purchasing?

I think it's an awesome deal. I do not notice any difference between those and the factory battery that came with the phone. According to GSAM they perform the same. I love the convenience of being able to grab 1 or even 2 batteries and I am good to go pretty much any and all the time. Having said that, I don't know that I have yet NEEDED one.

You didn't ask, but at the risk of being "that guy" I'll put it out there anyway..... If I was getting crappy battery life, I would look to fix it before buying more batteries. I'm a weenie like that. The notion that the phone is not running as good as it can would really bother me. If I could not track down and fix it.... I would do a factory reset without hesitation. just my $0.02 Best of luck.

Forgot to answer the second part. Last night I forgot to plug my phone in. So it was not charged for 24 hours by the time I plugged it back in. it was at 29% and it still had ~4 hours left. It had been an average use day. Wifi was on most of the day. 2 hours of blue tooth, two hours of streaming (audio books and music) and 5-6 phone calls. I also have crappy cell service at my house (average 2 bars).

As long as you have a high end phone with a full HD screen, your gonna have bad battery life IMO. My old S3 had horrible battery life from the stock battery. The S5 battery I wouldn't say is horrible, but I wouldn't say it's good either. I'm not a fan of tweaking stuff or lowering the screen brightness or this or that, I'd rather not have to do that. Just my opinion.

My Galaxy Express I used before my S3 had really good battery life. It used to last me the whole day and I could charge it when I went to sleep at night. But, the screen wasn't in full HD.
