Hi,
I have Verizon GNex running stock JB and i like it that way.
Currently i have the original 1850mah and 2100mah battery, i've just purchased a $5 external batt charger on ebay to charge the extra battery and it's working so far.
What do most ppl. recommend/use to get through the day on GNex.
What's better among the hyperion or mugen or sieodo or should i go for external battery like Anker??
Thanks
im using hyperion 3500 and its definitely doing its job to me. ive had it for a month now

Do u have any numbers like how long it last compared to stock or 2100mah battery.
Also where did you buy it from? Hyperion 3800mah with NFC has decent reviews on amazon but only cost $20.
Do Let me know.
Thanks.

I just bought the Hyperion and cannot believe how well it works. I have been trying to cycle the battery all the way down and it has been hard to kill it in a normal day! With NFC and 3800mAh it is a great deal. I finally found a battery that will let me get through a busy day without charging.

I can get a whole day if texting chicks all day, using social network sites excluding Facebook. Make a call or three, little video gaming and some web surfing. And its incredible for WiFi tethering too.

Mugen is pretty good except finding a case which has been a pain, don't think its worth $90 I paid so try a similar one but for less $ and that has lets u use a case
Yes mugen is expensive for $90.
About the case I will try to be careful with the phone but having a case on an extended battery will only make the phone more thicker...no??
Where did u guys buy your Hyperion from?? Amazon or some other website??
Pls. Let me know thanks

Do you happen to know if it is compatible with the GT-I9250 model? And one more thing that I know it could be too much to ask,but could you please upload some pics so that we can see how much thicker it is?
Thanks a lot.
Hi,
Would be interested to know if it will fit the GT-I9250 aswell, been looking for a 3800 with NFC, darned if I can find 1 in the UK, presume these are Verizon only?
Are there ANY with NFC other than the 2000Mah for the GT-I9250 ?
The battery for international version and US Verizon i515 are different. So look for the one compatible for your phone

+1 for Hyperion 3800 mAh from Amazon. I have been having a hard time trying to kill it (battery to 0% and auto-shutoff) during break-in cycles. This thing just last a long time. Now is Sunday night and my battery is running at 4% after the last time I charged (Friday night). The Battery detail says I've had almost 6 hours of screen time (auto brightness) on it already.

I know there was a was to find the true mah of the battery on my nexus one. I was wondering how to fond the mah for the new extended battery I got from eBay. Its supposed to be 3800 mah, but I wanna be sure. I be been on it pretty hard today from a full charge. Its held up pretty good and I've been on it pretty hard. If anyone knows how to check let me know. I'll also leave the link from where I got the battery from only 15 bucks

There is no way to get mAh value due to the fuel gauge samsung used. The n1 used the ds2784 which outputted that info. Our max17040 does not. Nothing we can do.
it is possible but you need a battery analyzer. Chances are the 3800mah you got is closer to 2800mah. check out this site that tested lots of batteries from ebay and some aftetmarket companies. http://batteryboss.org/

Like I said anything is better then stock. The stock battery was horrible! The last phone before I got this was my bionic and with the OEM extended 2750 mAh I got 2 days. Wasn't expecting anything spectacular with this 3800 mAh, But again for me anything is better then stock. Almost got rid of the phone based on the stock battery. For 15 bucks I'll take it and keep this phone a little longer. Oh and I had the screen at 100% the whole time.

I had 4 hours 30 on stock battery (GSM) for some time.
That was with an older AOKP and Franco build (AOKP something in mid 20s, Franco in mid 90s)
Right now I get between 3 hours 30 and 4 hours, depending on the use and where I am (Auto-Brightness).
Mostly E-Mails, texting, Play Store and Browser, with an occasional youtube video inbetween.
Running AOKP B29 and Franco r112
your problem is not the battery, sounds like your phone has a problem going to sleep or you have too many things syncing. with the stock battery i can get over 20 hours of idle and 3 hours of screen time. with the samsung extended battery i can get over 24 hours of idle and 4 hours screen time.
Price range under $30 and one that fits or slightly fits the original back cover

anker are known to be good batteries, but you should get the galaxy nexus battery that you can pick up from the verizon store. The OEM batteries have NFC capabilities the others do not. OEM should last longer too even though the mah are different.

Yup, and $25
Been on the VZ nexus extended battery for a month - wow it is great. Much better than I expected. Took off the label paper, trimmed off the plastic end caps to the battery height (with a razor blade). Left on the NFC antenna, but can get it thinner by cutting that off. My stock cover barely bulges. It's been $35 at Amazon (Samsung 2100 mah extended with cover) or at Verizon (lucked out when it was $25)
I just ordered the anker 2050 from ebay for 9.99 shipped.
I dont use nfc and our phones lack the secure element needed for g00gle wallet. I also wanted the back cover to fit correctly without having to modify the battery, and 50mha isnt a big difference.
Hands down nexus...

The better the system the more battery it Burns, I app pose that if the processors and memory were less consumptuous then maybe we would be better off. Honestly even if you are turning off certain process patterns or psych out the brain it won't help, the won't be such a thing as a perfect phone unless you built it yourself, but unless the boards and parts are sold to secure in sockets your out of luck.

It hardly holds its charge and often doesn't fully charge overnight when I've woken up in the morning.
If this sounds like a dead battery to people, what I need to know is how do I go about finding a legitimate battery online?
Are the ones on these accessories shops online any good?
Help, please!

You totally helped. And, yes, I was hoping to get an extended battery as well I just can't have it be thick or else it won't fit in my case. I guess anything over 1400maH is fine. I hear the batteries by "Anker" are supposed to be the best? Is that true?

Just wanted to configrm - they are awesome indeed.
I've upgraded mine to a 1650mAh Mugen Power within the last week. It's new and the discharge curve is epic, especially compared to my stock battery that stared to bulge and hold about 8hrs worth of charge. This thing easily lasts me all day, so far. It will happily extend the life of my device as I upgrade to the Nexus 4 in the spring and pass this down to my mother.

I use the 3800 seido battery with NFC and it works fine. Just do a search on amazon. Don't buy generic Chinese crap. It won't last as long and its not a true 3800.
The supposed 2100 extended is a joke. The phone comes with 1850. They expect an extra few ma to last longer...don't bother.
I can go a full day with my seido. U pay a little more but its worth it to not have to charge all the time.

I believe you can search in Amazon the Samsung Spring Extended NFC battery or something along those lines, and it should come up. That's what I did with my Verizon phone.
Hi there I was looking to get a longer lasting battery than my stock one with my S3 and I am a bit of a noob - I really dont like the fat ones so would be great to get one to fit inside. Now when I was browsing I noticed this 3800 one : http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/3800mAh-High-Capacity-Battery-for-Samsung-Galaxy-S3-i9300-/300944750217?pt=LH_DefaultDomain_3&hash=item4611b47689 seems great specs but I cannot find anyone thats reviewed it - seen a few posts on the 'gold' ones (and this may be one of them I think - just looks different) on ebay at 3250 and some people say there good but I am unsure which is best and if there are probelms involved? Or if they are actually better / worth getting? I.e. I see mentions of leakey batteries memory problems and NFC loss - I guess I dont mind the NFC loss is that about it? Thanks!

Yes I have searched through many places already. I guess I was hoping maybe someone had tried this particular battery. I guess I might have to assume its like a 'gold' one. A zerolemon at 2300 and anker at 2200 isnt the stock 2100? Sounds a bit pointless to get an extra 200 no? I.e. how long extra are you getting out of these?
Got a feeling this 3800 will be more like 2500 at best anyway I suppose - would be nice to know...I suppose these cheap batteries dont leak or over heat or wipe card memories - not sure why some people talk about this - not seen any reports of this.

2 weeks ago I picked up a couple ZeroLemon 2300 batteries and I'd guess I get an additional 30-40% life over my 13 month old stock battery. I had been using a QCell 2100mah battery for the last 12 months as well and it worked well enough, including NFC. The QCell was no better than the stock battery at the time of purchase, hard to say if the ZeroLemon is at this point as I can't remember my old battery stats. I do miss NFC functionality with the ZeroLemon batteries but I may be the only idiot who ever actually used NFC tags anyway.
