what is the largest "good" battery available for the evo? I love this form factor and do not want to make it any larger. What battery are you guys running? With and with out mods. I am currently running caluks latest and love the better battery life, but why cant we hope for more?
Im not afraid to trim a bit here or there to make a larger mah battery fit.
I have contemplated seeing if a larger battery will fit without the back and only the commuter case.
Thanks
My favorite batteries are these guys: http://cgi.ebay.com/2x2000mAh-Batte...Accessories&hash=item483dafbe5b#ht_5045wt_907
I've got a few of them, and I've bought some for my friends. Positive reviews all around. They are standard size so they fit in the phone with the existing battery door and in turn all of the regular cases. I'm sure they aren't really 2000mah but they do seem to last longer than the stock batteries.
OP, just get one of these: http://www.amazon.com/XtremeMac-IPU-ICP-11-InCharge-Portable-US/dp/B003FVRYBE/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&s=electronics&qid=1294354173&sr=8-1
i just ordered two.

Anybody know if this battery is any good?

this seems to be the same ones that have multiple sources on ebay.

The good things is that it looks like there are only USA sellers, so odds are your going to get a better product than a chinese knock off. Not a guaranteed winner, but possibly better than most. If you like a suggestion on good batteries, ive had a wonderful experience with these here http://shop.ebay.com/i.html?_nkw=ev...2200mah&_osacat=0&_trksid=p3286.c0.m270.l1313
The galilio ones. I own about 3 and i can noticeably tell they are superior to my OEM battery and they are no extra bulk and super cheap.
These batteries look good but I was wondering about the the battery cover that is shipped with them. I have a seidio 3500 right now and the way the battery cover for it is tapered, it will still fit in my holster that I bought for the evo. I wonder if these battery covers for the 2200mah batteries will also allow it to fit in the holster.
I just wish someone would make a 1750mah or 1800mah that ACTUALLY tests at those numbers. That would be good enough for me and would fit under the OEM cover.
Ok so i have found a replacement battery (3500 MAH) for $22.49. It comes with a replacement back for it (I assume cause the battery is fatter than the normal battery that comes with the evo). My question is there any good batterys that are the same size as the original or a case (like otterbox or body glove) to fit a fatter battery?
It's a little more expensive but I bought the siedio and you can get the protective case that fits it. On the other hand, I've heard of people modifying regular cases by cutting out the back so it fits over the larger door. Cut the hard case with a dremel or something. The soft cases you could probably cut with scissors. Just cut a little at a time to fit. You'll get protection at least on the edges where the phone usually hits first. Hopefully this helps.
sent from my awesome EVO
The biggest battery you can get to fit the stock case is a 1750 mah battery (vs. 1500 in the original).
thank you both of you answered my questions cause my next question dkelle4 had answered so thanks a lot
I just got a 3500 from ebay and I can't use my otterbox or seido case, but its worth the battery life
Evo 4G!!!
One thing you guys may or may not know is that the charge light turns green at 1500 mah. You have to charge the battery an extra couple hours, bout 3. Also wipe battery stats, recovery then advanced. Good luck. I hope this helps.

I always used this website for batteries and always they were great
this one is estimated to ship on Feb 21 just 2 days before my bday i might treat myself!
Code:
http://www.mugenbattery.com/mugen-power-extended-2000mah-battery-for-verizon-samsung-galaxy-nexus/
it says it's 2000mah how much more battery usage i can expect?
before i flashed franco kernel (which was about hour ago)
my battery would hold around 12 hours on 4.0.4 i always listen to music text and do some web browsing. Thanks guys
You get ~14% more capacity compared to the 1750 mAh battery. So don't expect too much.
Why wouldn't you get the OEM Extended battery? It's half the price and holds more charge. If you're worried about the case the difference is barely even noticeable, most cases fit with the extended battery.
I get about an hour more on average compared to stock battery, which makes a huge difference for me. It's also good having an extra battery anyway.
If you've got a Verizon version, just buy the extended battery straight from Verizon its 2100mAh and comes with a proper back cover for less $$.

Thank you, forgot to mention that...like I forgot to mention since it's OEM you don't have to worry about the build quality being too poor, like you do buying from some unknown company such as the one in the OP

The OEM extended barely makes it thicker, it keeps NFC, and it is cheaper with more capacity.
You're going to put a case on it anyways, so why do you care about thickness? lol.
if that mugen battery is not larger than stock one i can assure you that you are not getting more capacity. mugen batteries are decent as far as aftermarket ones goes but they over advertise their capacity and charge more than oem but dont take my word for it. check out this website that tested some mugen batteries actual capacity. mugens 1800mah is actually 1400 and thier 3600 extended is 2500. http://batteryboss.org/
Well I saw it here: http://www.seidioonline.com/samsung-galaxy-nexus-3500-extended-life-battery-p/bacy35ssgng-gy.htm but I want to see if anyone have a picture of it with the cover: http://www.seidioonline.com/samsung-galaxy-nexus-convert-extended-case-holster-p/bd4-hkr4ssgnlx2.htm since those pics are not the best ones. Also do you recommend it?
Thanks
No one? I really want to know before buying it.

I don't have a picture at the moment. I don't have that exact model, but the model I got from ebay is a 3800 mAh. I also got a case that fits around it.
With the case and the battery it is probably twice as thick as the phone with standard battery and no case. I don't mind, it fits in my pocket very easily and I feel much more comfortable with it.
took some pictures
I also have 3800mah battery, i took some pictures. rider.planet.ee/nexus
At first it felt little bit to big, but after few days its ok, fits in pocket.

Same questions to you... Have you been able to find any cover?
I just bought a cheapie ebay extended battery with cover, and it definitely improves battery life to nearly double the oem battery. I am pleased for the $8 I paid.

Couple it with a bumper case (so the cover fits) and you have decent protection.
I bought an Onite 3500 mAh battery from Amazon several weeks ago for vacation days hiking. I was surprised how small it was. I didn't take it off until a week after I got back. In the city I get at least 2 days with juice to spare. It also supposedly has NFC, but haven't used it yet. It came with an extended back cover.
I bought an extended soft TPU case and pair that with a Seidio surface holster.
I paid about $13 for the battery, and combined with cases, no shipping.
I'm definitely happy with the battery.

I bought this battery for my GSM - ebay.co.uk/itm/251005399006?ssPageName=STRK:MEWNX:IT&_trksid=p3984.m1439.l2649#ht_3041wt_1113
they send me 3800mAh instead of 3500mAh, or is it just a sticker on the battery that says its 3800mAh, definitely it lasts longer than OEM battery. Haven't bought case yet, but this one looks nice - amazon.com/Trexcell-Transparent-Thermoplastic-Universal-aftermarket/dp/B007XWP788/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1344185186&sr=8-1&keywords=extended+soft+TPU+case+nexus

I bought that case and it is fine. It is actually somewhat translucent and has a slight pattern on the back. It means I can't keep my mad money in my phone case, but otherwise it did the extended battery well.
The Onite batteries seem to be getting more expensive but they can still be found for about 25 dollars, which I still think is a good deal. My 13$ battery is a veritable steal.

I don't need some crazy 10,000 mAh ZeroLemon or even the 5900 mAh Gorilla Gadget one. How the heck do I get a case on it?
Is there a slightly extended battery that will still allow me to use a case or maybe a smaller battery / case combo that isn't ridiculously big?
I also don't like the look of the ZeroLemon. I think the back is ugly.

I was thinking of getting one until I noticed how ugly they make the phone look.. They make it so thick... Thats insane. My zerolemon for my note 3 atleast came with a case that made it look nice... Jeez
The ZeroLemon case for the V20 looks bad in the Amazon photos but when I saw the real world pics it doesn't look that bad. I had the ZeroLemon for the V10 and liked the feel in the hands.
