I'd say 3800. 2100 isn't enough if you need to use it for a whole day without charging it.

I got my phone today, fully charged it and it burned 15% in just 30 min of browsing and picture taking... Definitely need something better than the stock battery

I'm looking for a Galaxy Nexus extended battery in the 2000-3000mah category. I don't want the Uber-thick 3800mah Seido but I don't want the extra 100-200mah for the Samsung extended (doesn't seem worth it even with a half-priced battery), I'm kind of looking for something in between (like a sweet spot) maybe in the range of 2500-3000 would be ideal. I'm sure there will need to be a separate case for it.
Any suggestions?
Chicks dig the uber thick ones

I wish there was a 2500 option for the gnex too. I'm cutting it close at the end of the day and it would be awesome if I didn't have to worry about conserving enough for an emergency.
I purchased 2 2500mA batteries from Hong Kong. There is no NFC. Also, the batteries work with the original back cover!! I should receive them by the end of the week hopefully. I am currently using a 3800 extended battery and the battery life is unbelievably great. I am hopeful that the 2500 will get me through a day of heavy use. I bought them off eBay from "weil368".

Just curious, do you have the LTE Verizon Nexus or the GSM version?
I have the GSM Nexus. The first day was OK. Definitely better than the original battery but no where near as good as the 3800mAh behemoth. I was able to make it through a day of light to moderate use. Hopefully after a few cycles they will get better.

How much screen on time was that? I switched to teerom and have gone from 6 hours of battery life up to 15 or so with stock battery. I think it may be the apex launcher.

It was 2:50 of screen time. For whatever reason I cannot upload the screen shot of the screen usage.

This is the mobile link. All you have to do is type in Samsung galaxy nexus 2500mAh battery in the search bar.

Guys ... please don't be fooled by high amperage in the same OEM body volume adverts.
There is NO 2500mAh in the world that will fit in the original 1750mAh volume. That technology is not yet accessible.
I'm 120% positive (and I can bet on this) that those "2500mAh" batteries have the same stored power (if not less) than the OEM 1750mAh ones.
If you get lucky, you may end up having initially a battery slightly stronger than the oem one which will deprecate in a matter of weeks and it will end up a lot weaker than the OEM.
I've been wondering about something for a while. Is there a technical reason why Li-Ion batteries must be in rectangular shape? Looking at the ginormous back for the Seido/Mugen 3500+ mAh extended batteries, I can't help thinking about all that wasted space above the SIM and up to the camera that could be "filled in" by an irregularly shaped battery.
The battery is made out of a long ribbon-like sandwich of electrolyte between two thin metallic foils (electrodes) and the whole structure is rolled or packed. It would be way too expensive to make it in custom shapes. So , the Li-Ion batteries can be built like cylinders or rectangular shapes.
I know there was a was to find the true mah of the battery on my nexus one. I was wondering how to fond the mah for the new extended battery I got from eBay. Its supposed to be 3800 mah, but I wanna be sure. I be been on it pretty hard today from a full charge. Its held up pretty good and I've been on it pretty hard. If anyone knows how to check let me know. I'll also leave the link from where I got the battery from only 15 bucks

There is no way to get mAh value due to the fuel gauge samsung used. The n1 used the ds2784 which outputted that info. Our max17040 does not. Nothing we can do.
it is possible but you need a battery analyzer. Chances are the 3800mah you got is closer to 2800mah. check out this site that tested lots of batteries from ebay and some aftetmarket companies. http://batteryboss.org/

Like I said anything is better then stock. The stock battery was horrible! The last phone before I got this was my bionic and with the OEM extended 2750 mAh I got 2 days. Wasn't expecting anything spectacular with this 3800 mAh, But again for me anything is better then stock. Almost got rid of the phone based on the stock battery. For 15 bucks I'll take it and keep this phone a little longer. Oh and I had the screen at 100% the whole time.

You should post your screen on time.
15hrs of battery is easily achievable this days with stock battery and correct rom + kernel combo
I even saw one guy manage to get 4hrs screen time on stock battery

I had 4 hours 30 on stock battery (GSM) for some time.
That was with an older AOKP and Franco build (AOKP something in mid 20s, Franco in mid 90s)
Right now I get between 3 hours 30 and 4 hours, depending on the use and where I am (Auto-Brightness).
Mostly E-Mails, texting, Play Store and Browser, with an occasional youtube video inbetween.
Running AOKP B29 and Franco r112
your problem is not the battery, sounds like your phone has a problem going to sleep or you have too many things syncing. with the stock battery i can get over 20 hours of idle and 3 hours of screen time. with the samsung extended battery i can get over 24 hours of idle and 4 hours screen time.
Debating returning it I only get about 12 hours with my 3800 mah extended battery but its about 2.5-3 hours screen time so maybe its actually good idk

Over all wifi. I may take a day off of wifi and do my 3g stats. But there is somethimg wrong with your phone. Or your battery is junk. Did you buy a generic off of eBay? If so its a dud this is on the stock battery.

Return that. Or you may want to root your phone. And see if that helps. Any reason why your stock and on a rooting based forum? Its not logical man.

Hi,
I have searched but didn't find any information, and for good reasons... They former hasn't launched globally yet.
Would it be possible to use a SG3 battery in GNex? I understand the GNex is a smaller device, but could have same battery compartment as SG3?
Anyone tried? If it's possible, imagine the battery benefits... But me thinks Sammy is a little smarter than that
Thanks!

Why not just buy an extended battery.. basically the same capacity and a guaranteed fit.

Just buy the GNex extended battery...
I wanted to get the Verizon one since it's pretty much OEM quality, but cannot ship to Canada...
I prefer to stick with OEM, which is why I am wondering if a battery swap could work... Hmmm

Verizon battery won't fit. The Samsung extended battery for the GSM model is OEM.
Where can I obtain the Samsung extended battery for GSM?
What's the capacity?
I am still interested in seeing if anyone had luck using SG3 battery in GNex...

Samsung one is 2050mAh
It won't make a difference. Just buy a battery that is guaranteed to work.

They're all over eBay from Korean sellers, about $30-$35 right now including a new back cover (you need it).
The SGSIII one won't fit. Just buy the 2000mAh Samsung GNex one.
Just Google Samsung Galaxy Nexus OEM extended battery..
The vzw one won't fit.. you could always just buy a after market battery with the same mAh tho

The battery does, the cover has different tabs. You can use your stock cover with the extended battery. It's a snug fit though.

So does the verizon stock cover work with the sprint extended battery like Mike is claiming?
Yes it does
Sent from my Galaxy Nexus using xda premium
1) Battery from either networks will fit phone on either networks.
2) Cover from sprint needs to have a slight modification to one of the tabs to fit (i did this myself with a dremel). I've never tried the other way around because I don't have a Sprint Gnex
