It holds enough charge that lasts for 3 days before it run out completely out of the box. I use my phone every now and then and I'm not those type of person who always stick their face on the screen. I consider myself an average user, so how long the charge will last vary from user to user. Although it can't compare to the OEM battery in terms of performance, it still does a decent job and it's not like you'll run out of juice by simply turning on the flashlight. What's good about it, is that it has the same specs as the OEM battery like the voltage and mAh power capacity.
