How many people feel like just a 3200mah is not enough for them to get through a single day? I can say a 3200mah battery wont last me a whole day since im a super-heavy user. I probably need an extra battery or battery case on the side.

I get buy just fine on my S4's 2600. I'd buy an extra battery if the battery case wasn't $50. Don't want to charge my phone twice

Most of the time the 3200 is fine for me. Some days I have a ton of waiting to do, like a trip to the dmv, car wash, cloths shopping with the wife etc. I can burn through the battery in under 5 hours playing games. The SD800 is a great battery saver but the Adreno330 kills battery like no other.

I have not had a problem. I use my note3 all day long, and only on one occassion (a lot of angry birds star wars 2, skype video calling etc...) have I needed to plug in before the end of a typical 16-18 hour day.
Today I have been using IRC and Trillian almost non stop, streaming radio, a little photo editing for this weeks AC Photo contest, and staying on top of Feedly posts. Here I am finishing up lunch and battery is at 64%..8 hours use. On my old gNex, I would have charged twice today!

No problem here. I bought a second battery with charger at Sprint. I don't give it a second thought.

I consider myself a heavy user. Right off the bat I stream sirius /xm radio 9 hours straight every day.. That on top of all the other stuff I am constantly doing and so far I can't even get in danger of not having enough battery.

THE BEAST,,NOTE 3. SIZE IS EVERYTHING!!!

I know it's not enough for me. My Note 2 was a champ as far as making it through a day, even before I rooted it. But I find myself plugging my Note 3 in before the end of the day and it's annoying.

My boss just got a note 3 and he gets 2 days. I only get one day and the battery life is about the same as the note 2. You may want to look and see if you have something eating your battery.

I get about 3/4 of a day out of mine. I'm anxiously waiting for some developers to begin rolling out extended batteries.

Luckily the charger is pretty quick.

I get thru a whole day easily. I unplug at 4:30am....start work at 6am and I'm off at 2:30pm. When I get home I'm around 50 - 60% left. I don't plug back up until I go to bed around 10:30pm. The Note 3 battery is more than enough to get me thru a day.

I've been getting 5 hours of screen time with 15% left before plugging it in for the night. I'm pretty happy with that but the great thing about the Note 3, you can get a second battery or a larger battery if you don't mind a thicker device.

Overall I'm extremely happy with this phone.

I was just testing this today to see how long I could go on a fairly normal day without getting a charge from time to time during the day. I drive about 45 minutes to work each day so I tend to top off the battery on the way in. I'm also on a few calls during the drive. I have days where I am at my desk most of the day and other days I don't even make it to my office. Today was one of the latter, so no charge at all during the day. I hit 14% after 11hr, 11mn, and 49sec. 42% screen time and 14% voice call.

So, I would be happy with a little more but I also normally have plenty of chances throughout the day to charge.

I'm a super-heavy user myself, but when I saw that I got 7 hours of screen time (with 5% left) needless to say, I've never seen a screen time of over 7 hours in my life. I am very happy with its battery life.

I figured out why my battery life Was so poor. When I checked my battery usage, I found that 79% was being used for Exchange Services. I had set up four email accounts, and two were set to poll every 5 minutes. I turned them off and today I have 74% left with 2 and a half hours left in my Work day that started at 6 am and it is now 2 pm. Yesterday at this time, I was around 30 %.

Push is more efficient than periodic checks

I'm thinking about getting an extra battery.. at 7 hours use today I was at 37%, but I'm a Heavy Heavy user with my S4 being my main phone for all calls plus all the extra stuff we like to use our devices for.. my S4 never really leaves my hand. So other than plugging up at night I usually have to charge once during the evening.

i thought the bigger display and bigger proccessor was going to suck the battery life but, i am impressed. i can get a good 3 hour screen time on really heavy usage. and the most i have gotten was about 6 hours of screen time. or any where from 8 hours battery life to 18 hours of battery life. i might still get a spare battery, for the giigles.
