So far I am loving it!
I am obsessive about being able to put a high capacity battery into my phone as soon as I purchase it. Since virtually all high end phones no longer allow this, a year ago I bought a "brand new, old" LG V20 for a third of its original retail price (to replace a Galaxy S5 that had too little internal memory). I added a high capacity Power Bear battery which had its own protective case. That went in the lake (in my pocket) when I went over board in an accident, 3 weeks ago. So, I immediately purchased a second "new" V20. The Power Bear was ruined in the water and I couldn't find a new one (at the time; now it appears they are available again) so after reading reviews, I purchased this Shenmz battery. So I've only had it for a month. So far it has been great. It is about 2000 mAh bigger that the P.B. and the cost is amazingly low. I used my phone last week for hot spotting as well as a lot of calling while at the cabin. I still had 25% power after 3 days. Battery fits into phone nice and snuggly. The case is very nice with the needed expanded size to accommodate the battery and can be removed easily if needed. It has a good "rubbery" non-slip surface (black). This is different from the P.B. in several ways. The P.B. case had more of a grip to its surface. It had an indented area above the battery where the switch/cameras are. This allowed me to lay my finger in this "notch" for a better grip. This new Shenmz batter case does not have this notch; it is flat from top to bottom except for the deep crevices for the camera and start button. Some have complained about this being too deep for the button but I have no problem with it. The new case replaces the original back of the camera but it is on firmly and holds the battery in very well. Whether it provides sufficient protection from dropping on a hard surface, I don't know because I don't drop my phone. As to how it changes your phone (thickness and weight), it is a matter of taste. With the new battery, the phone is twice as think and more than twice as heavy. I love this! These newer phones are so light and thin that I never feel like I have a good grip. It now feels like a "man's" phone. It now has just the right feel in my hands. I can see how others would hate this change in the phones size and weight.Lastly, some batteries I have gone through the initial discharge/charge cycles the vendors say you should do; others I have not done this for. My experience is it makes no difference. This is also supported by technical articles on Li batteries.

This battery has converted my phone from an unreliable POS into a goes all day communication center.
Granted, it's a bit bulky, but I don't care. This extended life battery gives me WAY more life between charging cycles. I use the phone constantly in my business, mostly for simple phone calls, but plenty of pictures, navigation and internet browsing. I charge at night, and never worry about plugging it in again until I go to bed.The standard battery for the LG V20 won't go 1/3rd as long, even if you start from a "brand new" one. I have suspected that the standard batteries are all too old, or they are cheating on their reported capacity.

Solid performance in lgv20
So far, a solid preforming battery. I put this in my lgv20 to replace an aging 10000mah zero lemon. Compared to that old battery, this battery is thinner and lighter. At the end of a heavy use day, this battery is generally around 30-50%. Compared to a brand new 10000mah battery which would be around 60-70%. I'm considering it a good trade off of size and weight vs power.

Worked for 27 HOURS
This thing was a nightmare purchase. First off, getting into an iPhone 10 is not easy and the video they reference is not even their video and includes methods and tools that are not included in their included tools (thin plastic). Also, you will need a heat gun.After I got the battery installed it was taking a charge and working. After 27 hours it stopped working/taking a charge.

Worth the Buy! (So far)
I am writing this 1 day after installing my battery and notice a drastic difference in battery life. Not only does this improve my battery health to 100% but goes above that as this battery will last longer than the OEM iPhone battery ever could! The iPhone battery health app is fully functional, contrary to some forums I read online. As of writing this review, there were only 64 reviews for this battery which is risky for me to buy. Wanted to write this to provide confidence in the product for other DIYers out there. Spending $30 and keeping my phone for another 2+ years is a no brained to spending ~$1000 on a new iPhone. Watch some videos online of replacing the battery before buying to make sure you know what you are expecting. The battery kit contains everything you need which is awesome!

Perfect solution for my iphone.
Some how my iphone battery start budging and pushing my screen out. I replaced it with this one and its been working like dream, not to mention its a bigger size battery. From 7am from the moment i unplug it from the charger to 10pm... i still have a little more then 50% left.

Good power, slick.
Fits V20 perfectly. A little thick but manageable. Still fits most car holders. Power is good, still new, enough for watching movies for almost a whole day and fully charged in a little more than one hour only.
