Will these make me go faster?
I have read that before..are really that good ?
Whats the different between a 1550 mAh Mugen Power battery for 30$ and a random 1550 mAh battery from eBay for 10$?
some ebay sellers sells unbranded or fake batteries (would say 1800mah but is actually 1300 etc..), usually with no return/exchange policies specially the cheap ones like 3 pcs for 10$.
mugen pretty much you get what you pay for.
Man that's nice
I don't have issues with the stuff I got from them. I saw on their facebook page that they change the batteries if they're working...which is good and they have 1 year warranty on stuff. So far I'm going with them. Got 2 days on average usage on my Nexus
looks like I found the answer to my question. will check them out, thanks!

Personally for me the big difference is their brand presence across all available customer service channels (twitter, facebook, email, phone etc...) and high quality. I'm using my 4th battery from Mugen at the moment and totally happy with it and with their service.
Also I received a reply from their rep that actually makes sense - they say that their price allows them to give all the listed services to the customers, and it is simply not possible to make a good battery for 10$ using top technology and aftersales support.
Anyways, there's many info here about them, you can research a little.
While it would be nice to have an extended battery, I wouldn't want to make that change because it would make my phone heavier and clunkier with the extended battery backdoor. Another big downside is that my case wouldn't fit anymore. To solve my own battery-life issues I keep a Duracell Powerhouse with me when I know that I'm going to need extra juice.

You can always choose a slim extended battery that fits your original phone socket and does not require an extra back.

I have heard that the "extended batteries" that are the same size as stock are counterfeit in the sense that they don't actually offer more capacity. Lots of scams and shady companies around extended batteries...
It's 'Moogin' baby. Seriously, this is just a name tag being placed on the battery. It looks too ugly for me to put it on my Skyrocket.
will check them out, thanks!
Mugen Power batteries are great if you can afford the entrance fee. Yeah, it's not some cheap knockoff from Ebay, but the quality and battery life is worth it. I recommend them. Here's a review I did of the extended batteries on the T-Mobile G2 if anyone's interested

Going to be replacing my Inspire 4g Soon but i think i might buy one of these Mugens just so the phone can actually be a backup current battery in it just cant keep a charge worth anything with how i use a phone
Thanks for the review

Plus one for Mugen from my side. I've been recommending them for quite a long time now. Some experience to share: ordered a battery from them a month ago and nothing got delivered. I contacted them on facebook, and it turned out that the post lost my parcel...I was a little nervous cuz there was more than 150$ in it, but Mugen replaced all of it in a matter of days. Not just great batteries but awesome support as well.
Very good battery. Works flawlessly.
are mugen batteries available in india?
http://www.mugen-power-batteries.com is shipping to India

Just to give every one a heads up if you live in (or are traveling in ) Canada The Source now has the standard OEM battery for sale! They are selling out fast though! I had to order mine as the last one was sold minutes before I got there. They also said the Extended batteries are available for order. ETA is 4 - 6 Weeks if you order.
How much are they selling the oem standard battery and 'extended' battery for?
Also do you know if they are selling the extended battery back cover? Kind of pointless to buy from them if they don't.

The extended do come with a cover At least that's what their rep told me (They didn't have them at my store I had to order it).
It's faster and cheaper ordering the extended battery + cover via Gmarket in Korea.

This is true. But for people who can't order online
Sorry about the bump but wanted let users know that I got the battery and it looks like the Source has some issues with the system. The battery is NOT a Nexus Battery but for some other phone. It is too small for the Nexus. They didn't know what happened, probably some system glitch or over zealous staff member.
I've bought an extra OEM standard battery it cost me just less than USD 13, I dont use it just lying around, even the one that comes with the phone as a spare i dont even have a chance to us it, i'm using the extended battery and cover.
Any1 know a place where i can buy a Galaxy Nexus battery with NFC support that ships worldwide?
I bought 2 times from ebay, cause the guy post a picture says it would replace the battery for i9250, but when i got it here.. it had no NFC support...
Also, the battery i bought "Replacmenet for i9250" .. the 2100 one... gave me more then 1 and a half day of nice use....
so i wonder if i can get any 2000+ battery with NFC for cheap price :/
so i'm with 3x 1900 mah and 1x 2100 battery here... without any good use...
all cost me about $20 tho :X
Any1 know where i can get it chepaer with NFC?
Thanks!
i am intersted to know too , want to get one for my bf
don't think there are any nfc chip battery over 2100mah.
can give this extended battery a try:
http://www.amazon.com/QCell-Verizon..._1_3?s=wireless&ie=UTF8&qid=1331016908&sr=1-3
Mugen and Seidio's extended batteries now both support NFC - in addition to 2,000mAh models, they sell 4,000 and 3,850mAh models respectively but they include after-market battery covers that significantly increase the size of the handset.
If you don't want to double the thickness of your handset significantly though, you're only going to get about 2,000mAh max.
To be honest, I don't really think an extended battery is really worth IMO. That tiny battery life increase doesn't justify an extra $40 or so but that's just me.
Anywho, batteries that have NFC as well wouldn't cost only $20, they'd easily go over $40. Here's a link to an example of a genuine Samsung extended battery (2000mah, the max genuine extended battery) with a battery cover (the battery won't fit unless you have it). There are many others if you search it "Galaxy Nexus 2000mah battery" eBay (official ones that is).
The others are ridiculously thick and aren't too aesthetically pleasing.

I think people getting the 2100/2000mah battery (LTE/GSM) should think of it like a spare battery instead of an extended battery.
I don't know about others, but I only get an hour+ more time on the extended battery with moderate use. And if I think of it as a spare battery with NFC, $40 seems alright. (though I got mine at $25 from Verizon)
Hi everyone this my first post.
I am lover of XDA community. I have followed this site since my HTC Touch Diamond, then the Touch Diamond 2 and lastly the HD2. Phenomenal phones awesome build quality and custom rom's courtesy of the community. But what awful battery life. I have always had the battery issue as a heavy user and always resorting to the chunky extended batteries. Ugly i know.
Now i have an unbelievable phone i always thought that the HD2 had an amazing screen but the Galaxy Nexus is amazing but again after a few hours of use DEAD!!!
Here we go again.......
on my scan through EBAY i found this
Ebay Item number: 260948677892 (just copy into ebay search)
sounds like a bargain to me!!!
but is it for real or just a label change?
please help hate the extended battery make my beautiful phones look ugly!!!erghhh
Thanks in advance
I'm not sure about those particular batteries but I do know that Samsung makes a 2500mAh battery for the Galaxy Nexus. It is no thicker than the standard battery so it adds no thickness to the phone.
Verizon has them for about $50 each. I just got my Nexus and Verizon has a deal going where I can get one for 1/2 off. I am going to take them up on that very soon.

Those are 2000mah (2100 for the Verizon version), not 2500.

No it's not a real Samsung branded battery.
There is also no NFC in it.
It's just some knockoff cheap ass Chinese/Hong Kong battery that will be no where near 2500mah, and will probably bulge or blowup.
so any ebay battery that say it is over the orginal size..will be not real?
as i was planing to buy one..
i found 1800, 1850, 1900 , 2100 and 2300 from UK shop.
so what to buy?

it's very likely that none of those have more capacity than the stock battery. usually their claims are 20-30% over the actual capacity.
why?
it cannnot be they increac the cells inside the battery?
as for thr stokc they will try to minimize the cost
and i saw there is orginal 2000mah battery with changing back door in ebay
that will cost 50$
so what to do?
To all of you looking to purchase a reliable extended battery with a premium back cover and high quality cells look into this company. I purchased their battery for my galaxy s2 skyrocket and it was awesome! Not the cheapest but deff worth it guys FYI.

Not to thread crap, but Google Seidio extended batteries. They usually test at far less than their advertised rating. They make nice cases, but their batteries aren't very well regarded in the smartphone enthusiast circles.

I agree, had them for my og Evo, extended battery was decent, but on my Epic touch it was far less than satisfying.
I am waiting on one from Gorilla gadgets, the extended battery i got for my Epic touch was good. Hopefully it will be the same with my GS3
There extended battery for my og evo worked great for almost two years. But I messed up using a rom with trickle charging. So go for the battery when it comes out, I know I will.

I agree too, their products are very reliable and the quality is superb, I bought an extended battery from them a few years ago for the Droid Inc and always got atleast 26+ hrs on it. Of course like any other battery, it too lost its juice after 2 years but I was very satisfied with its output. Right now there is no timetable on when the battery will be released (I sent Seidio an email and waiting for their response) but hopefully the battery isn't bulky enough that it sacrifices the phones' beauty.

I had great experience with the Seidio batteries for my Palm Pres, so other than the rather high price (and my concern about fit in my car dock), I am seriously considering this. {ProfJonathan}

I would like to see this, i have the 4200 by Hyperion , and i love it, NFC and even the case is good, just a tad too big, a little smaller battery would be nice
its not out yet right?
it will be available aug 17?
bump to see a review of this battery
The one with NFC hasn't been released yet.
Thanks for the info. just placed an order for this.
If anyone orders and want 10% off use coupon code TW10
Does anybody know of any decent (and not extra expensive) extended (from about 4200 to 4500 mAh) Galaxy S3 (9300) batteries with NFC in Europe? From what I have seen Hyperion-US models have good reviews but the sellers on Amazon do not ship in EU (I also believe that is a very different company than the Hyperion company doing some stuff for radio controlled models in EU). QCell do ship to EU but it gets kind of expensive with shipping and VAT - and given the not-so-stellar reviews (and the cost of shipping back if the battery is bad) I am undecided :crying:

Kinda OT, but did you ever consider getting a spare same sized battery? Anker 2300mah (no nfc) ones go for like <9dollars on ebay. Bought 2 of them, they last as much as, if not slightly longer than the stock 2200mah samsung batteries. Just chuck one of them into ur jeans pocket/wallet/backpack etc.

Well, no NFC means I don't get an original feature only since the manufacturer was lazy and did not include a 5-cent component
And having 2 separate batteries is not a bad idea but a lot of the convenience is lost.
Also having to remove your case all the time and your back battery cover..... More chance of breaking something there.

Yes, that can also be a factor - and with the large batteries you often get the free back cover so many mechanical problems are "moved" to that back
It could be possible that it some how patent related, that third party producers cant build an replacement battery with integrated NFC.
Hmm ...

I would be a little surprised if that was the case - the patent might cover the NFC part itself, which battery 'assemblers" normally would buy from a larger maker that probably holds some rights in regard to that part.
That being said - for the original purpose of this thread I would be just fine with a Hyperion NFC being sold in Europe at a decent price

That is around 80$ which would become at least 100$ with shipping and VAT. With that kind of money I can get at least 4 Anker 4400 mAh, so somebody is trying to overcharge a little too much for a 5-cent extra
