I just picked up a spare battery and was curious to hear some opinions on what would affect the battstats the most.
Would the stats and battery drain be less accurate if I were to bump charge multiple times a day, or if I swapped out batteries when needed?

What my girlfriend and I have noticed is at the beginning multi battery straight swaps aren't that bad. Over time though the stats get bad and charge life BLOWS GOATS. Also on another note I purchased an extended battery 3600mAh and that thing sucked horse malarkey! To get it to fully charge we had to use an external charger. when u put it on the phone it rocked at 100% for about 30 minutes then dropped to like 15%, then 5%, then sat at 1% for 16-48 hours straight depending how it was charged. The ongoing low battery notification was just too annoying so we tossed it.
Overall a single battery is your best bet but a secondary battery will get you by in a pinch. That's how her an I both roll now and seem to get much better battery life with a single battery.

To get the best battery life, when should I charge my phone? When the phone almost runs out of juice, or whenever I can (below 80%) ? Please help!
Deep discharges are bad, but so is spending lots of time at maximum charge.
I'd consider charging around when you hit 80% if it's convenient, but if you're expecting to be on battery for a while soon, top off whenever you want.
Discharging to 5-15% is bad for your battery longterm.
So to get the best battery, I should charge when it is $80 right?

There's no hard fast rule about 'exactly' when you should recharge it. Simply try and keep the phone from running < 20% a lot and never keep it always charged at 100%. If you get in the habit of charging in the 30-80% range, that would be best.
Basically throw out the old mentality of always using it as much as possible before recharging as lithium batteries simply don't work like the old nicad batteries from years past.
This phone uses a Li-Ion battery, and these batteries do NOT have any kind of "memory." Charge it whenever you want to. However, it's not really good to always keep it "topped off." (Deep discharges are also not good.)
If you are going to store the battery, drop it to 75%-50% charged first.
There are some things to consider, however:
If the phone's power circuit bypasses the battery when the battery is fully charge (instead of constantly pulling power from the battery while the battery is recharging), then leaving the phone plugged in is better than constant charge/discharge cycles. Based on the fact that this phone will work properly with NO battery attached when plugged in, this is probably a true statement (but I can't know for sure.)
Second, the phone itself might like to see the battery charged/discharged once in a while to calibrate the battery monitoring circuitry. (You never calibrate a li-ion battery - only the circuitry that monitors the battery.)
Here's a link with some interesting information:

Got it. Thanks for all your information
A small note to add why you shouldn't 'keep' it above 80% (constant top offs and being left on the charger). In general when above 80% it's been found that lithium ion batteries have a 'higher state of activity'.
What that does to the battery is what it sounds like. Higher state of activity means higher wear and overall shorter lifespan.
That wear is easily seen in laptops. Many people have the habit of leaving them always plugged in while using and through the night, so they're always 'ready to go'. People who consistently do this to their laptops usually find after 1 year the battery life is noticeably shorter, 1 1/2 years 50% or so of 'new' capacity, and after 2 years looking at replacing the battery.
And I usually find a cheap deal on eBay for them, plus $50-75 for me. At least phone batteries are a bit cheaper.

I usually stay away from AceSoft batteries but I did a little work for a friend and he gave me a battery and door that he ordered from ebay. It is an AceSoft 5600mah extended battery. It was at 99% charge so I topped it off at 100 and put it in. So far I would say I have used it moderately. Some internet, some gaming, several phone calls and texting. It has been in for over 21 hours and still have almost 50% charge left. I have attached 2 usage photos.
pics of the battery and backpiece?
I will try to post a picture of the battery and the battery door tomorrow. I can tell you that it looks to be the same size as the hyperion 5000mah battery and the battery door is the same.
So I bought the hyperion 6000 mah extended battery and received it 6 days ago. I've now completed the 4-5 recommended discharge and charge cycles and the results have been great. The stock battery did ok but by 3:00 every day I had to throw it on the charger for an hour+ to get through till bedtime. So my goal with the 6000 was to be able to use my phone all day however I wanted streaming radio, music, texts, email, video without having to worry about charging. I don't mind charging at night, just tired of plugging in during the day and when I have meetings I can't be plugged in. The hyperion 6000 mah extended battery gets me through to bedtime with around 30% every day without any charging. I'm very happy. I'm getting around 4.5 hours screen on time when I hit 50% left. So in theory I should get close to 9 hours screen on time if I had to go all the way down.
While the 9000 mah zero lemon would be cool, the hyperion 6000 mah meets my needs more than adequately without the bulk of the 9000. It's about 1/3 thicker over the bottom 2/3 of the phone and it weighs about the same as my note 2 did, and I actually like the extra weight.
Just thought somebody might be looking at them, or thinking about it. Here are the links below, I got the battery, back cover & tpu case. The cover fits excellent, as good as the stock back.

I gotta say, after using this battery for a while, it's exactly what I was looking for. I consistently get about 7-8 hours of screen on time and it lasts me the entire day. Definitely worth it

That's my experience too. I can abuse this thing all day long (10-11 hours, no wifi) and still plug in at bedtime with 40% left.
Yes, I know that there is a battery life thread but this is question is not about SOT and what apps eat up battery. I'm just trying to figure out how to extend the battery's lifespan
Battery life on phones inevitably get worse over time. With the S6 being sealed so tight in one piece, it is not going to be easy to just pop in a fresh battery after a year or so when your battery starts lasting you just half a day.
I've read contradicting info on whether or not you should be using your battery right down to 0% to "break in" a new battery. One of my friends constantly drains his battery down to 0 before charging it, while I've read that this is bad for batteries from other places. Another thing I hear people doing is unplugging their phones from the charger soon as it reaches 100%, does this actually do anything? I just want some tips from people who would know how to get the most out of a battery over time.
Batteries are pretty smart these days, so they'll not over charge unless very defective. LI batteries do not need to be drained first... the old NiCad ones did IIRC. The life of a LI battery is going to be measured in full charging cycles, so partial charging makes no difference to the overall life of the battery vs draining completely before charging.
Coming from an HTC One, removable battery really want an issue for me. Although I'd certainly prefer it.
Like bjhill said, li-ion and li-polymer batteries these days should wash away any concern you have with the battery's lifespan.
Some people say occasionally you should drain your battery below 20% and charge it all the way to full without interruption (maybe once a month). Other than that there's jack all to do.
You don't need a new battery after a year, unless you did something stupid.
Just make sure that the phone doesnt overheat while charging. Thats the main reason for bloated batteries.

Quick charger isn't helping that cause
