I went on ebay and saw one that was 1500mAh
another that was 3000mAh
another that was 1800mAh
Witch one of these is the best or should i just get an OEM battery from Samsung ?
I would also like to know this, I need a bigger battery ASAP!
I would also like to know this..do you know if the 1800 needs an extended battery door?

I'm looking on getting a extended battery for my GSM i9250 Galaxy Nexus. I was woundering if the cheap 2300mah battery from China is any good from ebay listing here.> http://www.ebay.com/itm/New-2300mAh...EXUS-PRIME-i9250-/270876519915#ht_6128wt_1052
OR should I go with the more expensive probably the official Samsung Galaxy Nexus 2000mah battery with new back door from Korea, listed here.> http://www.ebay.com/itm/12083246205...AX:IT&_trksid=p3984.m1423.l2649#ht_3922wt_802
I want the 2300mah battery cause it sounds more appealing but idk cause that battery is the same size as the factory 1750mah yet its able to give 5x the more battery without enlarging the battery and no back cover. Sounds fake, but idk, What do you guys think?
I personally wouldn't get one unless it supported NFC.

1750 to 2300 in the same form factor?
I bought the LTE extended battery and of course there's a noticeable increase in size, needing the different cover. But is a 550 mAh increase possible in the same size?

Why would a battery influence NFC? Or is the antenna in the battery door or something?
Tapatalk Pro Sig. Yep, boring.

the NFC chip is inside the battery. so the battery has to be official, or at least have NFC chip inside in order for NFC to work.
I wouldn't get the 2350 one, most likely its a cheap knockoff no where near capacity that high. probably lower than the stock battery. Labels are easy to print.

Antenna is in the battery itself.

You are better off buying a stock replacement battery to keep around than to buy cheap any other batteries, no matter the mAH rating advertised.
the extended batteries for the Nexus are bullsh**. normally, an extended battery is at least/close to double the mAh as what the stock is. these 2100 & 2300 batteries are a joke.
just FYI, there are no antenna contacts in the battery door so even if you leave the door off you can still get a signal.
additionally, if you don't mind leaving it off & doing a slight mod, you can get a generic Droid Bionic 4000mAh battery for $12 online and use that instead. the Wh isn't quite as high but it's still 3.7V and will last much longer then even that 2300 one.

If it has more capacity than the stock battery, then its extended. There's no promise of a minimum extra amount of battery over stock to be considered an extended battery. Not sure why you're so up in arms about it. Give it a little time for 3rd parties to make larger extended batteries with fitting battery doors...

There's no way that's actually a 2300mAh battery. Don't buy that lol. If you think the 2000mAh battery is worth it you can go for it, but its only ~14% more capacity, so you can't expect drastic life improvements. As another poster said if you REALLY need extra life you're better off getting another stock battery and a wall charger to swap them.

i realize it's my opinion but it is disappointing considering that 'extended batteries' for practically every other phone out there are nearly double(sometimes even more so). i don't understand why they even bothered making a 2100 'extended' & not just included that as stock with the phone since it goes through battery so quickly. i have my fingers crossed that mugen or seidio will make a worthwhile extended.
Thanks guys, I decided I wont get neither. lol.. I'm pulling 10hr-16hrs on the Nexus anyway. Compare to my previous T-Mo S2 and i9100 S2 I was getting the same battery life. I will upgrade the battery but ill wait for the official Samsung battery when it hits Europe sometime next year.

Us with the GSM version can't buy that Verizon extended battery..
Sent from my Galaxy Nexus using xda premium
I bought the extended battery for 25 dollars from Verizon and its pretty good, I get 2 days on my nexus with light use, full day with medium to heavy use.
now sure if the stock one was garbage to begin with.
I had a Mugen power batteries 1800mah extended battery for my sensation, thought it was a good battery
A friend of mine bought a 2450mah knock off battery from ebay and offered to Get one for me, I said the same as all of you, no thanks doubt it actually that size and I bet it wont last as long as my 'smaller' Mugen battery. So he bought me one to test.
At least on my sensation, the cheap battery was noticeably better than the Mugen (3 hours better)
So from that, I'm willing to try this knock off, considering I'm in Australia and have literally nothing I can use nfc on anyway

Hopefully Anker will come out with an extended battery, they worked really well in the Sensation

Ordered the 2000 myself. Battery life is already great for me, but you can never have enough juice.
Im looking at this
http://www.samsung.com/us/mobile/cell-phones-accessories/ETC-CPK008GSTA-gallery
Cheapest I can find it for is $33 new. which is terrible wondering a few things about it.. Can anyone find it cheaper? Also does the battery it comes with have NFC??
Also does anyone know if they stock batter would work in the extended battery door? I like carrying multiple batteries so it doesnt ever really die but I cant justify carrying a different back.
Also how are the otter box commuters for these?
I would say yes to nfc as the battery is the same as stock, I've heard the extended batter fits but the cover doesn't close on the charger. Also yes stock battery fits with extended back as that's what I'm using now
I'm just gonna get that charger and pick up an extended battery another day. So new battery and otter box here I come.

I desperately need an extended battery. I have the CDMA version what do you guys recommend. I could also use a good case that would fit the extended battery but I'd prefer if the battery didn't get much bigger if at all
You can't go wrong with the OEM 2100 Mah battery but I recently purchased a Hyperion 3800 Mah battery and case for $25, not anything amazing but did add a decent bit of battery life. Went back to stock though for the amazingly thin feel.
And yes this is on Verizon.

I recently bought 2 2600mah battery for the s4 on amazon. And i am planning on not using the stock battery till these 2 anker batteries run out. Is it a good idea to keep the stock battery inactive?

I can't see why that'd be bad and I like your idea. I bought the same thing, but I just had all three in a rotation. Since the Anker batteries have an 18-month warranty it'd be better to try running them down before then...=)
I'm not familiar with these batteries... I saw an extended battery 5200 mah and saw a lot of reviews saying the also bought a charger from anker. . do these batteries need to be charged in a proprietary anker charger? or will the galaxy s4 correctly read the 5200 mah battery?

If you dont use it, you will still lose it. So use it. Lithium-ion batteries have a two-year shelf life. Doesnt matter if you use it or not, it will get degraded. This is due to the reactive nature of lithium to oxygen.

It has been more than 2 years since I'm using my Good Old trustworthy Galaxy S2.I think it's time to change my battery.
So here's my question: What battery shall I use? I know samsung batteries are the best,but I don't want to buy the stock 1650 Mah battery.Also,I don't want the 2000 Mah battery from samsung,because it needs a bigger Battery cover,and most of the cases/covers become unusable this way.
What battery should I buy from eBay? (This is where I will buy,and my budget is max 10$).I want an extended battery,which has a better battery life
and it is good and trustworthy.

No batteries the same size will give you more than real 1700 mah. when they write 2300 mah, they are lying, if you open them you will see the same cells as a regular 1650 mah from samsung.
Just get a good quality one.
I'm also in same boat like OP and was planning to get original Samsung 2000mah one but cant find it anywhere in India
Hey same here I am also want a original new 2000mah battery in India for my galaxy s2

I've received the battery suggested on this thread

about two months ago, and I'm not disappointed
It gives me a little better battery life than with the original battery for only 3 $ :good::good:

fake 1850-2450 mah battery usually contain only 1250-1450 mah power , you lucky if you got a 1650 mah one
Does anyone have any ideas about the batteries being sold on Flipkart. reviews seem to be good.

Why not the 2k from samsung? The back plate is as thick as the bottom part of the phone. So you won't really feel a difference.
and the camera will be protected better.

Well, if it runs better on your htc than the stock battery, then get one. The chance is high that the S2 Anker is also good then.
