It usually takes a while for spare parts and batteries to show up. Your best bet is probably to check if any other phone uses the exact same battery.

the battery in the GN has the nfc reader built-in. I can't think of another handset that has a battery with a built in nfc reader, so it looks like people will need to wait for a GN specific battery.

I know, we need to wait for the official one but it is really disappointing that nothing in moving in this sense.

Expansys have an official battery, item listing does state "please note: temporary picture"
They do list the right capacity for the battery, and I would've expected £30 for it considering it has the NFC aerial built in also.

not really a great price considered that with 40$ you can buy this:

sblantipodi I guess you don't know the average cost of genuine mobile phone batteries in the UK then. £30 is a reasonable expected price for this battery.

good question- that looks like the product we want. 1750mah battery.
according to this site it seems legit http://www.trustpilot.com/review/smartphonepedia.com
if anyone has ordered from there I"d be curious to hear your experience. I may be ordering that item in the next few days.
the accessory king also seems to carry a spare charger w/ a 1750mah battery.

2000 mAh Galaxy S1 battery(MPJ)

I used the search button, but couldn't find this battery anywhere...
I found this battery when I was searching on ebay. It costs €8-13($6-9) ex. shipping. Haven't bought this battery yet, but was wondering if anybody had or has already had experience with it?
Links:
- http://www.ebay.nl/itm/2000mAh-High...221?pt=LH_DefaultDomain_3&hash=item4cfb373ab5
- http://www.ebay.nl/itm/1-pcs-2000mA...548215?pt=PDA_Accessories&hash=item27bfdb59f7

I have no experience with that exact battery, but most of these generic batteries from china have much lower capacity than the stock batteries. There is no way those are 2000mah, they are too small.

Get an Aker battery

I bought this, I don't know how to measure the actual capacity, but it feels good. Is better than the original.

I found these which are Samsung brand. I seen u already bought em but just in case ur still interested

I personally just have 2 stock batteries. I bought the second one cheap on amazon/ebay. Can't remember. I might try one of these soon though, because the stock batteries don't do so well for me.

I know it says for use with S1 versions as well, but I believe this to be miss information since the S1 an S2 have different connection for battery.

It says "Designed for SAMSUNG", the capital A in Samsung has a crossbar (which the real Samsung logo doesn't use), and it has the web address for Chichitec. I'm going to go out on a limb and say that's not an OEM battery. :laugh:

I just got the gold battery from eBay. 2430MAH along with the battery charger for charging the battery externally. It was about $8.50 and comes within a week. Just search i9000 gold battery. I'm pretty sure I've got it calibrated. With light use I get up to 13 hours so far and up to 10 hours approximately with heavier use. Amazing buy so far

Where the cheapest place to find OEM batteries? Genuine

Probably eBay. Not sure if this is the cheapest, but I found one for you http://www.ebay.com/itm/NEW-SAMSUNG...Accessories&hash=item41650839da#ht_500wt_1156
$18.95 and from the US.

Trustworthy to be genuine?

Read the feedback and decide for yourself. If you are worried about a fake battery then spend a few extra bucks and buy retail.

I think so, I mean 25 were sold and feedback seems good (100%).

Positive feedback usually occurs right after the product is purchased. For products like batteries if you are looking for oem quality, you are best going paying retail at a reliable store. There are to many fakes out there if you are trying to find a real oem quality battery. Most that I have found and tried have been sub par. If you are looking for some extra power as a back up, go ahead and take the risk if you see something interesting. If you need the reliability, spend the extra at the store.
Even expensive 3rd party like Mugen and Sedieo fall way short of their ratings when tested. Google it. I would post a link, but am not allowed to do so yet.

You are gambling unless you go to a store. That is if you absolutely want a real 1800mah battery. There are too many fakes and creating a battery that looks oem is too cheap and easy.

Amazon has great return policies and the prices are very good.

Are there any nfc equipped batteries and even more importantly would our phone be capable to use that technology? I'm not really sure how that works and anyone who can enlighten me, much thanks.

Need a extended battery for gsm GN

Hello guys i have a amazon credit and i wana use it up before it expire on wednesday. i wana buy a battery for my galaxy nexus which battery on amazon is good? i need a battery that will givee me a day with heavy usage. size dont matter. thanks for any help

I know you mentioned Amazon, but I wanted to give you an exact link to the product I bought. http://www.ebay.com/itm/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=120832462058&ssPageName=ADME:L:OC:US:3160 I really like this product, it only adds a tiny bit to the overall size and adds about an hour of heavy usage. If you are going to be using it non stop I'd recommend figuring out how long the current battery you use lasts under normal circumstances then approximate how big of a battery you would need from there.

yes, this is genuine from samsung, so it does have NFC built in.Personally i'm gonna buy this in a short time .

This looks like a good deal for me but I had a question with the NFC chip. Will there be an issue with google wallet if I try to use a different nfc chip? I wasn't sure if they were somehow tied together from google/samsung. Thanks for the link and the great info!!

The NFC chip is located in your phone. The only thing on your battery is an antenna. As to the original poster: I've had this battery ever since they started selling and it's totally legit.

That's not true, the NFC is located on the battery. However, the product itself is legit.

Yeah, most such ebay listingsa are fake / not genuine / ripoffs. If you're willing to spend that much, why not buy from Samsung directly?

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_EtCQH2eZYI I would think this is the same as the ebay one, although it's from Negri.
As far as I know, shimshop is a good ebay seller to get phone parts/accesories from.

If you're in the U.S., I would say buy from Expansys since they're in Illinois. Shimshop ships from S. Korea.

I ordered a battery from each of these sellers. I ordered the one from eXpansys on June 29th and it still has not shipped. I ordered from shimshop on July 6th and I received an email stating it will ship Monday, July 9th. The shipping might take longer from shimshop, but at least he ships quickly!

nexus 5 extended battery 3830mah battery, how many would be interested?

Hi All! I came across a supplier that has nexus 5 extended batteries 3830 MAH that are plug and play.
These will replace your original battery and wont add any bulk to your phone.
They will be $35 shipped in the U.S.
Please make a list of everyone that is interested.

Well, other than not knowing the actual quality/longevity of the battery, or if it really gives 3830mAh, $35 is steep. Considering you can get it for $15.99 + shipping from aliexpress, you can pick up 2 for that price.

That is gonna be a pile of crap another dodgy chinese battery just like those gold ones that you can get for htc sensation.
Dont touch it!

Guys, LG is one of the few companies which actually makes their own batteries (through the LG Chem subsidiary). This means they can put very good batteries in their phones with little additional cost. Do you really think some cheap chinese batteries probably made somewhere on a ship can have a better capacity/volume ratio than the ones provided by LG?

my guess is the OP is someone who is selling/supplying the batteries and the first post they ever put is this waste of time, go and advertise somewhere else.

Adding that much juice, in a battery that's the same size? Pretty sure that's impossible. Nice try, though.

i guess ill have to try it out and post results.
