Seidio 3800mah w/ NFC charging cycles?

[mscalero]

Hello,

It says to leave it on the charger an extra 2-3 hours after 100% for the first 5-6 charging cycles.

My question is, does anyone know how long it takes to get from 0-100%? I've been (trying) to completely drain the battery before I got to sleep, and I charge it for about 7 hours overnight before I take it off, but I don't know at what time it actually hit 100%.

I'm on my 4th recharge cycle, battery life has been good, not double the 1850mah, but def much better.

Alright here's my best recommendation for charging a battery and making sure it's at true 100% capacity.

Plug it in and charge it to 100%
Unplug it and reboot your phone
Let it get settled, and check the battery %
If its less than 100%, hopefully by 10%+ plug it back in
If its only 95-100% when it reboots, you pretty much had a full charge and you don't need to worry about that cycle nonsense.

i'm experiencing the same thing. i'm only on my second charge cycle but it's only lasting about as long as the 2100 battery. maybe an hour more, but that's about it. it goes from 100 to 85% very quickly then it slows down from there.

I had the same experience with the Qcell 3850. I ran it through 3 cycles and it didn't seem to last longer than the stick battery. It would drop from full to 85% rally fast then slows down until 32 and it would drain really quickly again. I wonder if we got a lemon because others have reported significant increase in battery time...
