I know it works with Seidio's battery but does it work with the Sprint extended or any third party extended batteries?
So after ordering two 1900mah spare batteries from ebay I found out that the antenna for the NFC chip is located in the battery. The replacement batteries I ordered do not have the antenna, neither do any of the other batteries I've seen. So I went to the source Samsung.com and they aren't available for the GSM version only the Verizon version batteries were being sold. So where do I find a GSM extended battery? Or any battery with the NFC antenna inside? As for the batteries I ordered? I guess they'd be fine in a jam but to lose features like beam & NFC is unacceptable for the long haul. All feedback is much appreciated.

A seller named shimshop on eBay is selling 2000mah extended batteries that are genuine Samsung, with NFC. There are many threads mentioning this. I bought one as well.

here's the link,

ships from South Korea so it might take 1-2 weeks for arrival
Something to consider is switching over to external USB batteries. Not only are internal batteries phone-specific (and obviously have NFC issues with the Galaxy Nexus), but there is an increasing trend towards using polymer batteries that are able to fit in unusual shapes but are not user-replaceable (easily). I've got a pair of APC UPB10s. They work with all four phones my wife and I carry, as well as my Bluetooth headset, a host of other devices, and I've got an adapter that lets me use it on my infant daughter's bouncer and swing. I can also carry it in my pocket without a cover (or fear my keys will short it out), I charge it via a mini-USB port (micro would be better, but I don't need a battery charger), and it has a 10,000mAH capacity compared to a spare battery running on the order of 2000mAH. The only downside is that if I'm out of juice I become tethered to it until I can recharge, but a little pre-planning lets me charge in my pocket and it still beats needing to power off my phone just to swap a battery.
Just something to think about instead of dropping more money on batteries you'll end up throwing away when you upgrade your phone.
I actually have three oem samsung batteries, 2 standard and 1 extended, and 1 third party brand at 1450mAh, i've also ordered, but not yet received yet a powerocks 7800mAh external battery.
i wont even need to change out the extended battery, or even use the external, so I dont know why i have all these.

For my Galaxy S Captivate I had a wall charger of the same brand shown there and it works great.
Batteries were also a part of a package I got from eBay and they were perhaps 90% capacity as the battery that came with the device, so not so bad. I have swapped them often rather than hooking up the charger daily.
The ones at the links are shown to have NFC on the batteries, but its not in the description. Anyone ordered these and have tested?
Looks promising....but there's only one way to find out....
Anyone know anything about this brand? are these good batteries? I can never seem to find anything about the verizon nexus.

any reccomendations for batteries for the Verizon Nexus?
For that price, its worth the risk. For $30, you can get 2 Hyperion 1900mAh batteries and an external charger

the info is falsely advertised, i515 and i9250 are not the same.
I've looked around the now-closed wireless charging thread and looked up a few of the products there, but I'm still at a loss for what to go for when I need a QI inlay that's available internationally, doesn't mess with NFC, and will work with the 3000mAh official Samsung extended battery.
Any suggestions?
bump.
