The one made by Samsung.
Looks wise the official one. I'm still waiting on mine to arrive, hopefully not gonna wait much longer!
Use the Samsung one... Doesn't add to much bulk and most non-oem batteries inflate the mAh
Please hit the thanks button if I helped.
GSM or LTE?
As they're from Portugal it'll be GSM, only the US have LTE/CDMA
There's a new RAZR coming out with an OEM 3300mah battery and the body is still 9mm thin.
Let's harang Samsung and see if they can give us something similar!

battery is irremovable.
I think the best is an external battery like duracell or something similar. I know that having another thing to bring with you sucks, but is better than make your phone bigger than it is. And also with a non-official battery you will lose the NFC connectivity
Did some that already have the 2000mAh (Samsung's official extended battery) notice great difference?
I mean, is it worth the 45-50 euros for an extended 'hour' or 2?
I also have the Duracell battery that I connect to any mobile device, so I am indeed not to sure if I want to buy an extra hour for that price.
Cheers.
I think its a bit laughable to have the extended battery only add 250 mAh. They have to make a battery to bump it up to the high 2000's like 2750 close to 3000. The razr maxx is gonna have 3300? thats almost twice the capacity of the Galaxy Nexus, removable or not. Its a monster of a battery, the type that all of these smart phones should have standard. Its stupid how google maps adds this location bs, and there is so much that phones are able to do now, there is no way that your phone will last a night out in the city if you need to gps a location, use social apps to talk/meet up with friends, and phone calls/texts, the battery game needs improvement.

Although the increase is very minimal I think its worth it.
For people who run out of there stock battery in half a day it would be very foolish to purchase. Might as well get two stock ones.
For people who the stock one usually lasts them all day for very close to it, it is very worth it because now it becomes basically one battery for full day.
I hate when my phones would die about an hour before bed. This little extra will make it the perfect amount.

I went back and added the proper mAh of the batteries. But it doesn't change your snotty remark and the fact that these new phones should come with more efficient batteries.
I hope they make a 3300mAh battery that fits in the stock backing. I mean it was possible with the droid razr maxx, so why not on the galaxy nexus?
We need lithium POLYMER batteries with NFC. It takes up less space.

Do we have any word on whether the GNex will have an Extended battery option? I know the battery and door are removable, but that's a necessary thing for if I'm going to be using this phone.
The holy grail, of course, would be pics of the phone with an extended battery, but that may not happen until well after release.
Im only looking for hopefully an extended oem battery. If not ill prolly just pick up one or two regular batteries depending on how good or bad it is.

Does this mean your going naked
Extended batteries are going to be an issue with this phone. An NFC issue that is, since the antenna circuit is embedded on the plastic cover. Either Samsung would have to engineer a thicker replacement, or someone like Mugen that makes their extended battery cover doors as close to the original design as possible. Inexpensive third party makes would probably forego the design and manufacturing costs, to produce a cover only, but that would eliminate one of the great new functionalities in ICS.
I am watching closely the developments in this, but for now I am planning to have my chargers within arms reach (car, work, solar)...

The only thing better than an extended battery is an actual case that fits it.

Unless the Galaxy Nexus really takes off (not likely, even with VZW), we probably won't see any advanced type of battery + case combo.
I have to be on the go 20+ hours a day sometimes and I cannot spend all of my time babysitting a phone. As much as I want this thing, without an extended battery and a good case, it just won't fit my needs.

Simple, every night charge the phone and a spare battery in an external charger. At 3 PM when the first battery dies, swap in the other. Unless you don't put the phone down all day, 2 batteries should be enough. If you need a little extra, turn off the lte radio when you can get by on 3g.

way too much work, I usually go with extended batteries so I don't have to worry about it. The added 1/4 or 1/6th of an inch doesn't bother me, but having to replace batteries, waiting for the phone to reboot is just annoying.
Still no word on the extended battery front for the GNex?
Battery and Case Issues
Be very careful if you choose to pre-order a case to have on hand when your Verizon GNex arrives. I've read that the stock back cover of the Verizon phone is slightly different from the GSM phones to accomodate the larger 1850 mAH battery. A few case vendors are noting their cases as not being compatible with the LTE version of the phone, but many are not. Of course, if you're ordering a pouch or other case which doesn't require a precise fit, you're probably fine. But, with any sort of hard case, BUYER BEWARE unless it is specifically noted as being for the Verizon LTE version of the phone.
Samsung made an extended battery + a new cover for the SGSII so they'll probably do the same for the Nexus. I hope they do so because we would have a flat back. I dont like this little bump where the camera or the speaker is.
Sent from my HTC Desire using XDA App
Hey guys, just a quick heads up. I just got my Galaxy Nexus and it boots up very quickly so having two batteries and swapping them during the day wont be too painful. The back cover is a bit of a fiddle to put back on though, feels like it might break after a while as its very thin. Hope that helps!
Everyone has their needs but for my Nexus one I bought a second battery and hardly ever used it, most phones now a days charge USB, and Micro USB at that, almost everyone I know has a micro USB charger, I have several, including one at home one in the car one at work, friends co-workers have them etc, I have mixed them or used Nokia Blackberry Motorola HTC Samsung home and car changers, Bluetooth headset chargers etc all USB micro they all work on any device for me there is no need for an extended battery and if the original one dies within a year I will either have a new phone of just buy a replacement battery.

The phone should have come with that battery as the default option. With less than 15% more battery capacity I would say it is not really worth buying.

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.

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.

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

Ordered the 2000 myself. Battery life is already great for me, but you can never have enough juice.
Hello guys, I would like to tell you my opinion about a battery that I had the chance to try. I'm talking about a battery produced by Mugen for Samsung Galaxy Nexus, with a capacity of 4000 mAh (more than double of normal rate).
Usually I'm used to use the smartphone with many apps in the background (WhatsApp, Dropbox, Beautiful widget and many other) and i often run games, especially in down time of the day. Im also linked to a carrier that has only 3G. Before attempting the battery I used to utilize three batteries so i can change eachother when the current one is downloaded.
With the Mugen's 4000 mAh battery i have found no problems to arrive safely at the end of the day, even when I spend hours playing.
In addition, the cover included in the package greatly improves the grip (im serius!).
I've tried it for 5-6 days but if you want to get more details, statistics and screenshots you can view this video review (in Italian)
You can buy it from www.mugen-power-batteries.com
Does this battery maintain NFC ability? I've seen some extended batteries that don't and some that do.

The Mugen Power 4000 Mah supports NFC. A larger backcover is included.
The back cover has a kick-stand, this is great for watching video's.
The only disadvantage with the new backcover is that you cannot change backcovers too often. This is due to the vurnable "holding pins"
I have my 4000 Mah for about a month now, and it is awesome! The battery lasts 2,5 day's with heavy usage. Now I just have to find a way to cut out the back of my cardock in a proper way to fit the larger backcover.
Sorry for late reply! The battery is NFC compatible, i've tested it with another phone and it works!
It can totally replace the original battery
I'm thinking of buying a bigger battery for my GNex for better battery life.
I found a normal sized one of 2450MAh (http://dx.com/p/replacement-3-7v-2450mah-li-ion-battery-for-samsung-galaxy-nexus-i9250-golden-215299)
and one that is 3800MAh (http://dx.com/p/replacement-3-7v-38...e-for-samsung-galaxy-nexus-prime-i9250-127595) but heavier, and bigger is size such that it needs a different cover (that comes with it).
What are you guy's thoughts on it? Forget the price, is the extra weight and bulkier phone worth the 3800MAh? Or should I go for 2450MAh? Perhaps I should just stick to the stock battery that came with it? Please give your opinions and reason why.
Cheers
I think you should stick with stock. If you play around a bit you van get a full day out of the battery. That's pretty decent for a smartphone. With the stock battery your phone stays slim and light. If you do want a extended battery I should go with the 2450 mah. Than you have a good balance between battery life and weight. 3800 mah seems too over the top to me.

I guess €13 is cheap spread over 6 months, but there that's not all there is to it right? The 3800 needs a different cover, so no more casing will fit on the phone isn't it? There is the hassle of having to order a battery from overseas every 6 months, and not to forget, the phone will become bulkier, heavier and uglier :/
If the 3800 battery degrades that fast (is this confirmed?), does the 2450 too?

A noob question. Does "extended battery" always mean you need a different back cover because of it's increased thickness? I know it's the case for the 3800, but also for the 2450???

Sent from my Galaxy Nexus using xda premium
6 hours screen-on from 3800? With what connectivity settings turned on?
I kind of found the answers to my own questions. 2450 needs a new cover too, because it is slightly thicker than the stock battery. Every battery that has a different thickness need a special cover for it.
With different size covers, you need different casing too. While I found nice casings for 3700-3900 type covers, and quite nice casings for 2000-2500 type covers, I've seen almost nothing but complains about the batteries themselves. Not deliveries the promised MAh (from the start) or performance degrading very fast are very common complains. Some even talk of overheating, and ofcourse many don't support NFC (which I don't use).
I can't trust the battery will do what it says it will do anymore :/ I'll stick with the stock OEM battery. I'm now considering buying a power bank/portable battery charger. In a way it also gives me longer battery life - when I want/need it. Plus side is also that others can make use of it too.
Oh, and just for the hell of it. Check out this monster extended battery people: http://www.amazon.com/ZeroLemon-Ext...=1-1&keywords=samsung+galaxy+nexus+zero+lemon It's the only extended battery I've found so far that I consider buying.

Appearantly not all Nexus batteries are the same? I'm using the GSM Nexus.

How about these Nexus from T-mobile? Are they GSM?
Meh for me the bulky back of the phone doesn't matter. It's not like you're looking at it all the time.

I don't care much about the look either, but the weight, size, and especially difficulty in finding a good case for it, I do care about.
And external battery (power bank) is cheaper for the amount of MAh you get, gets to much higher amount of MAh (10000MAh is quite common), can charge any devices (that need 1A or 2A input to charge) and mutiple devices simultaneously (unless you got a real cheap one). So for me I'm sticking with the power bank. A cheap one like this one can already completely charge your nexus from 0: http://dx.com/p/swpkpower-a22620-rechargeable-2600mah-mobile-power-bank-w-aroma-white-228492
As title,
I can't understand how an high end phone can have integrated battery.
I need to switch batteries once one is exhaust.
Why all this phones comes with integrated batteries?
Is there some info on the nexus 5 battery?
The idea behind integrated batteries is due to the fact that most of them make the phone slim and cheaper. Or so I was told by a spokesperson about it. As for the exhaust part. It usually lives to about 2-3 years before it needs a change.

I used the wrong word, I mean low battery not exhaust battery.
If you cannot switch to a charged battery and you use the phone during the day and you haven't got an AC, you are without the phone due to the low battery in the evening.

instead to buy an other battery, you could buy a portable power supply to charge the phone
It's a non-issue for 99% of users. Only a tiny fraction of Android users ever switch batteries.
It's less of an issue in modern phones. The Galaxy Nexus's battery life is notoriously terrible if you compare it to a modern phone which has no problem going with heavy usage with hours of screen-on time per day.

This. The Nokia era is over lol. You could but a 8000 maH portable charger to charge your phone on the go.

8000 maH portable charger is heavy and it charge the battery once or once and half.
8000maH is not comparable to a 8000maH battery, I think you know it.

Then you don't need a Nexus device.
It's pretty clear that Google's position is that they don't want removable batteries.

where is clear?
nexus 1, 2, 3 had removable batteries, only the fourth iteration got the non removable batteries.

Because the tablets don't, the n4 doesn't, and according to ,ost leaked into, the 5 wpont either. Obviously that's the route they're taking, because they don't care to appeal to the 1% that want SD cards and removable batteries...

LOL , it's clear in that the N4 didn't have a removable battery , and the "D820" in the FCC filing has a non removable back . Just like the people complaining that Nexus' don't have SD slots , 64Gb storage or come in a variety of colors , you are forgetting this is a developers phone. Google isn't trying to steal any major market share from any of the manufacturers . Developers don't need 38 hour battery life , and I would imagine that they also don't do any work on the phone while on an overnight hike without a way to plug the phone in . I like having a removable battery , in the past I liked having a removable SD card , I decided the Nexus was the right phone for me so I gave up the sd card ,I will probably give up a removable battery and get the N5 . If you can't live without a removable battery , look to other devices. You have to find the phone that best suits your usage , because you will never get manufacturers to make a device to your specs .

Why? developers are not human or don't use the phone outside their work?
I'm an app developer so I like a nexus phone but I like carrying the phone around for my "real life".
Should I buy a phone to develop and one to go out with friends?
The argument that Nexus phones are still designed solely for developers (as was the case with the Nexus One) doesn't really hold water anymore, I don't think.
It seems to me that Nexus phones are designed for consumers now, given the price and design decisions. Of course, they make great developer devices as well.

Ciao sblanti
Anyway, if Nexus phones are developers only devices, why did Google do they with curved glass, super sexy back cover, more than 5MPx camera, and beautiful design?

ciao amico mio
I agree with you.
I kind of like it... I feel like some colour after all the black.
Yep non removable bat is paint to me to... thats why im still with my gnex.
Also you can put a 10 Amperes hour charging the phone and would make minimum diference since the power circuit that regulates the charge only allow a max of amps... and i dont think it goes above 3A or 3000mAh... the Joules effect on the internal circuits would be interesting to see with 8Amps.

I guess if battery is a problem theres always the LG G2 option?
I'm on the fence about this. I am fortunate, in that I'm almost always near an outlet, so I can just plug my phone in. So, I don't need to worry so much about battery life. My S3 has more than enough power to make it through the work day, where as the GNex always needed some juice just after lunch time. I never have to remove my battery, and have no need for anything larger. The LG-D820 has a bigger battery than the S3, so, all things being equal, the battery life will be a tad better (probably not enough to notice, as specs on paper don't always correlate to real life performance). I just wish manufacturers would stop making phones thinner and thinner. There's really no point, other than from a marketing standpoint, as well as aesthetics. Thinner phones are harder to hold. They have no "hips" to hold on to. Just look at the number of S3s with cracked screens for sale on ebay. Same with the Droid DNA, Nexus 4, etc. I suspect the S4 and LG G2 will be the same way. What is wrong with phones the thickness of the HTC Amaze 4G? The Evo Shift 4G? With phones that "thick", you could fit some serious batteries under there, which would help alleviate complaints about battery life, removable or not.
