Galaxy Nexus Extended Battery - Samsung Galaxy Nexus

Do we have any word on whether the GNex will have an Extended battery option? I know the battery and door are removable, but that's a necessary thing for if I'm going to be using this phone.
The holy grail, of course, would be pics of the phone with an extended battery, but that may not happen until well after release.

Im only looking for hopefully an extended oem battery. If not ill prolly just pick up one or two regular batteries depending on how good or bad it is.

Does this mean your going naked

Extended batteries are going to be an issue with this phone. An NFC issue that is, since the antenna circuit is embedded on the plastic cover. Either Samsung would have to engineer a thicker replacement, or someone like Mugen that makes their extended battery cover doors as close to the original design as possible. Inexpensive third party makes would probably forego the design and manufacturing costs, to produce a cover only, but that would eliminate one of the great new functionalities in ICS.
I am watching closely the developments in this, but for now I am planning to have my chargers within arms reach (car, work, solar)...

The only thing better than an extended battery is an actual case that fits it.

Unless the Galaxy Nexus really takes off (not likely, even with VZW), we probably won't see any advanced type of battery + case combo.
I have to be on the go 20+ hours a day sometimes and I cannot spend all of my time babysitting a phone. As much as I want this thing, without an extended battery and a good case, it just won't fit my needs.

Simple, every night charge the phone and a spare battery in an external charger. At 3 PM when the first battery dies, swap in the other. Unless you don't put the phone down all day, 2 batteries should be enough. If you need a little extra, turn off the lte radio when you can get by on 3g.

way too much work, I usually go with extended batteries so I don't have to worry about it. The added 1/4 or 1/6th of an inch doesn't bother me, but having to replace batteries, waiting for the phone to reboot is just annoying.

Still no word on the extended battery front for the GNex?

Battery and Case Issues
Be very careful if you choose to pre-order a case to have on hand when your Verizon GNex arrives. I've read that the stock back cover of the Verizon phone is slightly different from the GSM phones to accomodate the larger 1850 mAH battery. A few case vendors are noting their cases as not being compatible with the LTE version of the phone, but many are not. Of course, if you're ordering a pouch or other case which doesn't require a precise fit, you're probably fine. But, with any sort of hard case, BUYER BEWARE unless it is specifically noted as being for the Verizon LTE version of the phone.

Samsung made an extended battery + a new cover for the SGSII so they'll probably do the same for the Nexus. I hope they do so because we would have a flat back. I dont like this little bump where the camera or the speaker is.

Hey guys, just a quick heads up. I just got my Galaxy Nexus and it boots up very quickly so having two batteries and swapping them during the day wont be too painful. The back cover is a bit of a fiddle to put back on though, feels like it might break after a while as its very thin. Hope that helps!

Everyone has their needs but for my Nexus one I bought a second battery and hardly ever used it, most phones now a days charge USB, and Micro USB at that, almost everyone I know has a micro USB charger, I have several, including one at home one in the car one at work, friends co-workers have them etc, I have mixed them or used Nokia Blackberry Motorola HTC Samsung home and car changers, Bluetooth headset chargers etc all USB micro they all work on any device for me there is no need for an extended battery and if the original one dies within a year I will either have a new phone of just buy a replacement battery.
my two cents

here u go ppl. extended 2000mah battery for the galaxy nexus
http://phandroid.com/2011/11/29/gal...ah-extended-battery-and-cover-in-south-korea/

Great news. I will be buying that as soon as its out in the UK or if it takes too long to get announced I will just import it.

Nice, might get one of them when they are in the UK. How much bigger and heavier do you think it will make it?

The phone should have come with that battery as the default option. With less than 15% more battery capacity I would say it is not really worth buying.

Whoa I need it!
I'll get it imported as soon as it's available anywhere in the world. (Well, no options here in Thailand anyway FML)

Any word on where and when this 2000 mAh battery will be available for purchase?

Maybe someone who speaks Korean can check some of the Korean online stores. Who knows, maybe we should be importing our phones directly from Korea instead of the UK.

Mugen 3200mAh battery for TP2 works in EVO

In case you need an extended battery now, I can report success with a Mugen 3200mAh unit that was intended for a Sprint Touch Pro 2. It cost $70 or 80 when I bought it around Christmas time from an eBay vendor (couldn't find it anywhere else online). Turns out the person I got it for had a Touch Pro 1 and this battery was not compatible so it's been sitting around the house ever since. I just popped it into my EVO 4G and it works perfectly as far as I can tell. Boots up normally and is charging as expected. Of course the back plate does not fit over the fat battery so I left that off and replaced the jelly case which stretches over the whole thing well enough.

Hero batteries work also.. a lot of HTC phone's use the same batteries. I have like 4 batteries for my evo lol

I bought these a while back.. worked great in my hero and work just as good in my evo. Plus now I have a standalone wall-charger. Took about a week or so to get here since its coming from Hong Kong.. But it was well worth the ~$10 for 2 batteries and a charger..
ok, i stole its soul for you.
well im glad i order mine from seidio since it comes with the back case but this is good info so i can pass my oem battery to my wife for hero hero with weak battery life
Lol. Nice evo . It's the humpback of xda.

that is disgusting! but more power to you hahaha...lets hope seidio lets you buy just the ext battery cover
oh sweet mother of god i would feel all grossed out if i tried to handle my phone and it was all squishy at the parts that aren't touching the battery or the frame...
How's the battery life with the 3200? After doing some battery life tweaks and mods mine seems to almost be sufficent with the stocker, but it can always use some improvement.
If you don't mind sacrificing the case, I would try cutting a rectangle in it that would leave the protruding part of the battery exposed and let the case hug the phone the way its supposed to. If you cut it just right, the batt should stay in place since it looks like it has a bit of an edge for the case to grip on to.
I'M starting think I should just cancel my order for the 3500 battery and get me 2 1500. What do you guys think?
Sent from my PC36100 using XDA App
I'm using the battery from my tp2 as a spare, and carry it in the smaller pocket in my jeans,i don't even feel it there sometimes. With battery tweaks and charging it in my car (usually around 30 min at a time), I only have to occasionally change to the 2nd battery. If you are sensitive to bulk, then go for 2 batteries to split the load, otherwise a bigger battery is more convenient.

Given some of the results from BatteryBoss, I'd say that the battery isn't going to perform at a full 3500mAh. It will still be more than an OEM battery, sure, but I couldn't justify doubling the size of the phone to put it in. You might be better off getting another OEM battery, HTC seems to give about 99% of what they say.
if that site batteryboss is accurate then Mugen's batteries are crap. twice the size for 50% more juice. however, some anecdotal evidence to the contrary: after buying the wrong one, i bought another Mugen extended battery that does work for the TP1 and the recipient is very happy with it. reports that the 3200mAh it lasts about twice as long as the OEM battery.
probably smart to just get another HTC 1500mAh. after the latest update battery drain is much less of an issue anyway.
So can I just go in to a sprint store and ask for a hero battery For free?

The batteries + charger that was listed earlier in this thread work GREAT I've been using them for a few days now great freaking deal ($10 shippped)
Anyone know if the Tilt battery here will fit the Evo with a modified case / back plate? http://www.amazon.com/HTC-Extended-Li-Ion-Battery-RHOD170/dp/B002Y24MJ2
I know Seidio makes a modified back plate that looks like it would fit this and according to battery boss this is the gold standard of extended batteries.
Also confirmed, the Mugen 4500mAh battery for Sprint Touch Pro 2 works in the Evo as expected. It's very... thick. About as thick as the Evo with a jelly sleeve on. Put together it's like the Evo has it's own little podium to stand on.
Assuming batteryboss tests are accurate then true capacity is closer to 75% or ~3375mAh. Main purpose for me is a power supply that can run GPS tracking apps like Cardio Trainer all day uninterrupted. Thickness not an issue since the whole package is tucked away in a Camelback.
Got it on eBay, I don't know where else to find them. Mugen is OOS and ridiculously expensive anyway. An alternative would be an external battery pack that supplies power through a USB port, then cable it to Evo.

Good Place For Batteries

Just wondering if anyone has found 3rd party batteries for the atrix yet?
I'm curious about this as well. I missed having options for battery when I switched to iPhone 3G, 3GS, 4 (like with Treo and BlackBerry). As a mobile addict, I miss extended batteries (even though larger). I hope to have these choices for Atrix and hope the switch to Android doesn't serious piss me off.

Welcome, it may take a bit, bit I think you will be glad you switched.
Also, I am sure third party batteries will show up after a few weekes particularly if the phone is popular.
I'm sure Seidio will have a bunch of accessories out shortly.
I truly wouldn't mind one of the extended battery Juice Pack cases like I had for my iPhone. They added some bulk, but they nearly doubled my battery life on my iPhone, and they are simple to take off plus you don't have to pull out your phone's battery to do it.

With 1930mAh battery installed + laptop dock for 8 more hours running ability, I don't think I need an extra battery more.
I used it very heavily at work. Maybe got like 6hrs out of the oem battery.
Which is the best I have had in all the smart phones Ive used
LOL the battery is large but the way I use my phones I don't know if it will last all day; I looked on eBay a few minutes ago and didn't really see anything.
I have the standard and went and bought two extra batteries for the phone for the days I was out and didbt have access to a charger.

Keep dreaming - mophie (manufacturer of the Juice Pack) steadfastly refuses to offer products for non i- whatevers. I've talked to them about it previously. Only way it'll happen is if Motorola or some other company makes one, and that hasn't happened.

your right i did not think of this. Most people overlook this fact,
I got spoiled by multiple gen-you-whine Motorola batteries for my StarTac. Between the main battery, the AAA tray to replace that, and the piggyback battery...who needed AC?
But I've also found an AWFUL LOT of battery suppliers are junk. Some mislabeled with bogus capacity, some that just don't hold a charge well, some that knock wood I never got, that catch fire.
I don't like gen-you-whine battery prices, especially for a new phone, but I'd be real careful about buying from other vendors right now. Or are there some other vendors you have found that can trust, by brand name?
Supposedly...with standard microUSB power plugs, we are supposed to just use a "powerpack" to recharge the phones on the fly. There's something to be said for doing it that way too, I guess.
My battery states 1880 mAH on the back of it...i thought it should be 1930 mAh
1880...1930...Could be a change in production with one manufacturer being slightly better or a slight change in the process. If you think of them both as "1905+-25mA" it really is just a small difference in battery life.
Maybe that's why some of the 1880's are being sold off cheap, they've been obsoleted?

where can i find them cheap ??
There are loads of batteries out there. Just search for BH6X or BH-6X. Some sellers say they are for Atrix, others for Droid X. I believe its the same battery as the extended droid (I hope!). I just bought one from a US based seller for $21 on EBAY.
FWIW I pulled mine out, it is 1880mA. And that's a phone that shipped last week.

Has anyone tried one of these cheapo ebay extended batteries?

Found this extended battery on ebay, was wondering if anyone on here has tried it, i know it looks hideous, but if you know your making a trip somewhere it could come in handy if it works the way its supposed to. Its cheap as hell too.

9 bucks... can't be too great,
but what can you lose? lol
Seems to me that if the larger aftermarket brands have trouble meeting the stated mAh rating on their batteries, what more of unbranded ones that goes for an even lower value?
I also still have very clear memory on exploding phones from third party batteries years ago
I bought a cheapo 3800mah and it lasts barely longer than my stock extended battery. I wish samsung made an official 3800mah version

Buy 2 stock batteries and solder them together. Works great.
3500 real mah. I didn't think the 2000 extended batteries would fit under the cover from the Hyperion I had here. I agree though, if I can solder it up in an evening, Samsung certainly could work up something.
hopefully more phones in the future will be like the razr and give us a factory extended battery closer to 3000mah.
Razr maxx when I had it for a week was sick! Hard use all day, charged every other day, seriously insane battery life. If that phone ever gets bootloader unlocked, I would be all over it again.

Have you done this solder thing? Any tips?
if you look at the battery in the phone you can see that there is some space at the top of each terminal, use this space to solder a fine piece of copper wire to a second battery. make sure to solder the batteries in parallel, positive to positive and negative to negative, to retain the same voltage.
i remember taking apart a so called 3500mah battery from ebay and they were just two cheap 1500mah batteries tapped together. Apparently in china 1500X2 is 3500.
Why does everyone want extended batteries? 99% of people have access to a power cord most of the day and just don't need it. Granted, I'm new to the phone, but I really hope I don't need to carry around a huge battery or two. Personally I'd rather charge it more often. Just my own opinion.

As long as you know that I don't see a problem. Spend $10, use it for 6 months, buy another one. Much better than spending $100 for a mugen.

I got one from an Amazon seller for $12. I think it's 3,700 mah and I easily get a day out of it. However, it's stupid to use something that large and that adds weight and bulk to such a thin and light device. Especially when it's just as inexpensive and easy to simply buy 2 or 3 stock-sized batteries and a wall charger on eBay. I carry 1 or 2 spare batteries in my back pocket and don't even notice they're there. Why wouldn't you do this?
im currently testing this one.
on my 2nd cycle right now with 26% left im at:
21hs up time, 3hrs screen time about 1hr Pandora. been on 4G/3G the whole time with all my radios on but GPS.
it seems like im getting about 30% more life out of this batt vs the OEM. which seems to be getting me over a full day of use with out needing a charge.

MUGEN is a great brand, i know because i own their battery for my G2 and S2, you get what you paid for man. on test i found that the MUGEN outlast the SEIDO by 30-40 min screen on time under hard benching...now this data is of course base on S2 battery.
right now i am testing Hyperion, look for my post, i will give more update soon as i am on my 3rd full charge right now, will bench by the end of the week. I am in talking with MUGEN and Anker to give me a free sample to do a review on their battery,
id agree that "namebrand" batteries tend to yield better results.
in fact i would have personally preferred a Samsung Extended battery. but i cant see spending $100 one a 4000mAh battery from Mugen when a replacement 63Wh batt from Samsung for my M11x is $125.

Just throwing out counterpoints: It can be a hassle to have to shut down, take the phone out of a case (if you have one), swap batteries and put it back together, etc. With an extended, you don't miss a beat. Also, since the phone is thin and light, having a big, heavy battery isn't so bad -- makes it feel about the same as a lot of older phones.
That said, I'm using a stock battery, but have been considering a nice extended battery eventually.

I just don't see how any one can justify carrying extra batteries on a +600$ phone?
I mean the battery life is great already, not shabby by any means. I got 1d 11h with 3 hour screen on time on my Verizon phone this weekend on stock battery. But no call or hotspot like I do during my work day. But a ~2500mAh would probably last me the whole day even on a work day. I'd pay $45 for that with nice cover. (slightly thicker won't be such a bad thing on this phone)
I have few more days before I can return this phone to verizon for full purchase price of 600 bucks. But it's making me think twice about returning it because it's still 2x better than my rooted galaxy nexus.
Carrying extra batteries, at least for me, is zero hassle. They slip into my back left pants pocket and I never even notice they're there. Granted, I can see swapping batteries being somewhat of a hassle for some people but, even if you had an extra step in removing a protective case, how long could it really take? 1 or MAYBE 2 minutes? This phone shuts down quickly and boots up just as fast.

Best extended battery with NFC and compatible case for Galaxy Nexus GSM?

I'm thinking of turning my GSM Nexus into a "mobile computer" - I'm running ParanoidAndroid in tablet mode and already have an OTG cable that I've confirmed works with my 32GB USB drive, and I also have a wireless hotspot with a 32GB microSD card (I connect to it via Wifi and it kinda acts as cloud storage); I intend on adding a bluetooth mouse and keyboard at some point, but that still leaves the extended battery and a case for it.
I was originally thinking of the OEM extended battery and an Otterbox case, but from what I understand, the OEM extended battery isn't much bigger and wouldn't offer much longer battery life. In terms of extended batteries with NFC, which have cases to go along with the big battery backs that come with the batteries? I'd love one that features a kickstand too.
And in terms of extended batteries in general (talking about quality brands like Mugen and Seidio, not cheap brands), does the increase size/mAh actually correlate well to the extra run-time, or should I only expect a ~150% increase in battery life for a ~200% increase in size (or something of the sort)?
After battling with poor battery like on my last 6 android phones and trying tons of different batteries. I finally found a system that works for me. I bought 2 spare batteries and a battery charger for my Gnex (LTE) and it's been the best setup yet. I keep the slim profile of my phone and have enough battery power to get through the day with one battery in the phone and one spare with me.
Everyone will ***** about having to pull the back off and swap but it takes 2mins max from shut down to booted back up. And I would rather have my phone be slim then a monster with a huge extended battery.
The other thing I did was I got one of those AA battery chargers for my phone and I will keep one in my car and one in my bag with 2 of my eneloop batteries in it just in case I have an emergency of some kind and need a little extra juice. I very rarely have to use those for myself, but they have come in handy for others quite frequently.
