won't know if it's interchangeable untill the evo is released, but this looks like what an extended battery might look like
the one listed is 2300mAh
EDIT: better image

holy crap, looks like the phone is pregnant.
You realize of course that the cover provided with this battery is quite different than that required by the EVO right? I for one don't plane on duct taping a battery into my phone until the official cover comes out. Better to WAIT.

of course... said it is what it might look like, our batteries look like they are bigger physically than the hd2's
holy crap that battery looks horrible, like it's got a diaper that needs to be changed

I'd tend to agree - they look longer, and they also look like they mount in a different direction in the case. I have a feeling battery cases will be all the rage. Maybe Mophie already has one coming (as they make for the iPhone). I sent them an e-mail...We'll see what they say if anything.
extended batteries for the cdma hero will work....well should work.
Just so everyone knows the battery from the HD2 is a 1230mah and the standard one in the evo is 1500mah. So you will have to find an extended battery that works with the Hero or the TP2. Even then the battery covers will not be the same. I'd just wait.
Seidio has one for HTC Hero with 1750mah.

I got a 2600mah for my hero for $18 on ebay. It is a knockoff but it gets me through two days.
Hi
Can someone please reccomend me a battery?
It needs to be reliable and made by a reputable company. I don't want to cut costs by skimping on quality.
I am looking for the largest good quality battery that isn't too huge.

No, a Samsung battery sounds perfect, I didn't know they sold their own.
Can someone tell me where to buy a Samsung battery in the UK?
I would really like to see somewhere with a list of all the batteries samsung sells for this phone.
And is Samsung definitely the best? Or is there another brand that will last longer over time?

Oh yes of course. That makes it slightly worse. Maybe I should order two 2000mah batteries.
My battery usage is just way too high for this phone to handle. I don't want to turn off any of my syncing apps as they are all so useful.

That's what I'm doing. 1 2000mAh battery in the phone, one spare. You can get the Korean batteries now that you have a back cover that fits the international version, as they tend to be cheaper from what I've seen. The Korean version of the battery fits well in the international phone with international back cover, but it is just a mite thicker. You may or may not notice the thickness, but it's pretty inconsequential to me. Main thing is that it fits and works!

1900mAh battery that fits with current cover. You can even buy them in a 2 pack if you really want.
Lots of people had good results with these.

Hmm the price and size of that battery are very appealing. However there is the issue of the unkown brand. Seems to have good reviews though, so I'm not sure now.
I think carrying a second back cover with me would be stupid, so I am limited to batteries that fit the original cover.
does the phone fit the covers/cases that are out for it still with that thicker cover or it makes the phone to thick for them?
cheers
edit: forget it...i found a post that covers this

Hi,
Have a look at this thread
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1273125
TBH, i know what you mean as there are so many dodgy batteries out there but these seem decent. I got mine this week and they seem to last at least as long as the original ones if not longer. The 2nd charger is also very handy!
Im generally happy with the battery, do the bigger batteries add much more

If the battery size between 1700 mAh and 2000 mAh, I advise you to get it.
If more than 2000, no.

Consider that charging period will increase as well.

A 3600 mAh battery like the Mugen one does really give you an extra day. Smaller batteries don't guarantee that.

Weight and size.
Sent from my R800x using XDA
as netizenmt mentioned, weight and size are factors to consider. a buddy of mine has the extended batteries and they're thick. if you have a leather case it'll be quite a challenge to close it...let alone use the case snaps to clamp on the sides of the phone. given that the play is slightly thicker already, the thick batts really make it bigger. just be careful if you do order the batts. i read somewhere in the forum about them being sold through ebay...only to find out that some aren't "compatible". can't remember if that meant function-wise.

Do you think the mugen will fit inside the Trident case? Perhaps without the battery cover. Or maybe modifying original battery cover along with the case?

If the case requires the PLAY's original dimensions, then no. The MUGEN battery protrudes further than the stock battery
the MUGEN battery is bigger and heavier, but you would have to really work your phone to get through it in a day, ive left my phone running castlevania sotn at 180fps for about 8+ hours with a 1.5ghz oc and i still had power to spare..
essentially the great thing about these batteries is that battery life doesnt become a concern anymore, i get about 3 days battery life with standard use, if i turned off data, god knows how much i would get.
iphone users jaws drop when i tell them i get 3 days battery, i love it.

Yeah but you carry a behemoth around with you
i dont think about the weight, in fact i usually still have trouble feeling it vibrate and i have to touch my pocket every now and then to make sure i still have it.
ive had a comment off a teenage girl before who seemed rather offended at the prospect of trading size for battery life.. but she probably also doesnt understand why i want a gamepad.. noone else, or me cares.
the part i care about is being able to use my phone, for anything, whenever i want and never having battery be a factor. its completely worry free. my ultimate device in my pocket that can always be relied upon. i quite like the feel of the gamepad with the thicker back cover, and i honestly dont think the replacement cover is anywhere near as visually offensive as many slab phone back covers which jut out in crazy places, im 100% happy with it.
you have already decided to sacrifice some form for having a gamepad, why not sacrifice a bit more form to be able to use it to its fullest extent?
$25 with free shipping, not a bad deal for a 2100mAh battery + battery door. I just ordered one, and should be getting it tomorrow/Monday.

Awesome, wasn't sure if it was online only.
I think it's good for folks who don't live near Verizon stores.
This does not work on sprints version. The tabs do not line up for the cover and its the wrong color
The only down fall is it has the Verizon logo on it. I'll double check when I get home. I'll have to check it when I get home.

This is correct. Sprint doors and Verizon door tabs are different. Color is the same though.
I wonder if something can be done about it.
I jumped on the deal thinking it would fit, great price, and I was going away for the weekend and an extended battery would come in handy.
That being said, could it be that some of the tabs would fit in? Or is it completely different?
I might have to go to my local Verizon store in the morning and see if they have it in stock.

I just got Sprint doors in today for my business. I checked the fitting on my Verizon GNex just out of curiousity. The only difference I found is one tab on the right side that is out of alignment. Essentially you could remove that tab and have a fitting door. Granted it might be loose in that area but fit nonetheless.
EDIT: I'm sorry I just did a visual check of both doors side by side. The Verizon has 2 tabs on the middle of the right side as opposed to the Sprint version with just one placed inbetween where those 2 are located. You could remove those 2 tabs, but again you'd have a loose door in that area. Those are the only thing that make the doors different, all the other tabs are the same.

NP, I was able to pick up a battery at the store by my office, and after trimming the little plastic tabs, works fine.
For $25 it's a good deal, and will come in handy. The only sucky part is the Verizon LTE logo in the back
This was mentioned the first time these batteries went on sale but you can fit the stock battery door with the 2100 mah batteries. I'm using the stock cover on mine (vzw gn) with the extended battery. It bulges slightly but hasn't caused any problems. My incipio case fits over it as well.

Ah alright, will have to try that.
Thanks!
Can you post some pictures of these batteries and compare them size-wise to the stock? I have a 3800 maH battery, but it is way too thick for my liking, would just like to see what the 2100 battery looks like with the cover.
I have another extended battery coming (they were back on sale over the weekend for $25 so I picked up another) and will snap a pic of it next to the stock battery when it comes in. You can't tell any difference in the phone with the stock/ext. battery since I'm using the stock door. I also picked up a Ringke slim case and it fits with the ext. battery/stock door no problem.
Anybody knows if the battery fit with the International version as well?

Thanks. If you can, get a pic of the battery and door in the phone. I am curious how much bigger it makes the phone. As I said before, the 3800 is just too unwieldy.

I just got this battery in the mail today. It is only a mm or two thicker than the stock battery. With the cover in place, it is even with the bottom of the phone versus slightly concave with the stock battery/cover. It does not at all look or feel like an "extended" battery. Not unwieldy at all.
I'm sure its not unwieldy. Does it feel different? If you weren't looking for it, could you tell? Sorry for all the questions.
Also, how does it perform? I am trying to decide whether to get a spare stock to switch out or this extended battery. Thanks.
Hi all,
I just scored a used Galaxy Nexus, Sprint version, on eBay. It seems to be in good working condition, however the battery cover is not flush against the battery. There's actually enough space there that when I shake the phone, the battery shifts up and down in its housing, clicking against the cover. Is this normal with this model, or should I quickly take advantage of the 14 day return period?
Definitely return. NOT normal.
I would GUESS you have a standard battery with a cover for an extended battery
After Googling around a bit and looking at photos of batteries, it looks like my battery may have been switched in from a different Samsung phone, possibly a Galaxy S II. I suppose I could order a Galaxy Nexus battery and hope for the best, but I think I'm going with the return option. Better luck next time, I guess.
Pics of this? I didn't know gs2 batteries fit

On further examination, I think you're right. Someone helpfully posted a serious of comparison photos on the Amazon listing for the Verizon extended battery/cover combo, and the extended cover looks pretty much like mine. Now the question is do I return the phone (since standard covers don't seem to be available anywhere), or suck it up and buy a bigger (heavier) battery for this one?

Personally, I use both the stock and extended Verizon battery, but I only keep the cover of the extended battery on me. Not once have I had an issue with the smaller battery shifting out of place. I'd say you keep it if there isn't anything wrong with the phone and even ask the seller if they happen to have the stock cover lying around anywhere.

If indeed you have the stock battery with the extended cover and don't wish to buy anything extra (although i would recommend getting the extended battery for longevity reasons aswell as fit) you could opt for the primitive fix: tape a piece of paper to the inside of the cover to hold it tighter.
