I may not be the b heaviest user but I've been really pleased with my Note 3 and the standard battery. It gets charged twice a week and is used for calls text emails and surfing daily. Not massive amounts to be sure but it's not left doing nothing for 3 or 4 days at a time either. I religiously close all none essential apps and clear ram, keep wifi and blue to off if they're not being used and always fully discharge my battery to < 5% before charging to 100% before unplugging. Great phone, great battery life and if lollipop makes it even better? Then I can't wait :)
