Best sprint extended battery?

Just got my sprint gnex today and I am wondering if anybody knows of the highest charge extended battery that doesn't involve replacing the back cover.
Also NFC support is a must.

well there is a 2100 extended battery that comes with a new cover, but you can't even tell the difference and NFC works

Where?

If the Sprint battery is compatible with the Verizon battery then Verizon sells the 2100mAh for $25 at a store.

I don't have one either, but I think what's not compatible (without slight modification) is the Verizon back cover. I think the Verizon OEM battery would work fine on the Sprint device, otherwise.
Would be nice if Sprint launched with their own back cover and extended battery options.

The battery is a little larger than the 1850mah version that comes with the Sprint Galaxy Nexus. However, the back cover doesn't fit perfectly. You'll have to use a nail clipper or something similar to cut off the 2 small plastic nubs to fit the Sprint phone. There is a little bit of a flex on the cover where the nubs were cut, so unless you have a phone case, like a Cruzerlite case, I would not recommend using this battery/back for the Sprint version of the Galaxy Nexus. It's not major though, so it's possible to live with it if you're not really picky about the fit not being perfect.
The original back cover for the 1850mah battery will not fit with the 2100mah battery.

Wonder if samsung might make one for sprint?

SG3 battery in GNex?

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

The Verizon battery won't even fit in your phone.

The Verizon battery won't fit the GSM model.

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...
Thanks

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

Except aftermarket ones don't have the same MAh.

Best extended battery for the cdma gnex.

I don't think my battery is lasting as long as it used to. I would like to get an extended battery (not the thicker ones) like the Samsung extended ones with an external charger. There are several on Amazon with good reviews, but no nfc. There are 3800 mah batteries with nfc but not any around 2200.
Anyone find any?

Toro or Toroplus?

Toro, but I'm not sure that matters. I do want the nfc.

If you're looking at 2200 then what's wrong with the standard 2100 from Verizon? They're like $25 on Amazon, has NFC.

yeah i've been using the 2100mAH since i purchased the phone back in december, but with the texting and data I use I still find I need more to last me the day.

Nothing really, just that you can get two with a charger of other brands on Amazon for less than $20.

I believe that batteries are very much an item that you get what you pay for. In this case it looks like you will pay a little more to get NFC. I would find it hard to pass up an OEM battery for only $5 more especially when tolerances for an off brand battery would likely lead to a 2200 mAh battery performing worse that the OEM 2100mAh

question about extended batteries

I'm thinking in getting the Galaxy Nexus, price is nice.
I'd buy this version "Samsung I9250 Galaxy Nexus 16GB" that is GSM, which extender battery will work why that model?
I understand that the i9250 is not LTE, so, I cannot use the LTE extender battery from Samsung?
I'm confused, please help me!
Best regards.

That is correct. The battery door and shape are very slightly different so they are not interchangeable. Samsung has an OEM extended battery you can buy on eBay with shipping from South Korea.

Wow, thanks for your email.
That OEM extended battery fits in the stock backcover?
Do you have a link for buying the battery? (Amazon or Ebay)
Thanks!

The OEM extended battery does not fit in the stock back cover. If you buy one it should come with its own door.

Yeah. The bottom the the stock door bends in towards the phone. The new one will follow the curvature of the bottom of the phone, making it as if the battery door was just part of the back. Find pictures to see what I mean.

I have then official extended battery for my gsm nexus. Definitely worth it I think. Should have just came with the phone.

Thanks for all your replies.
Do you have an amazon or ebay link where I can buy that OEM extended battery?
Does it include the back cover?

I don't see it in Amazon

Instead of using an extended battery I use a pocket USB charger. My phone is connected by a USB to the charger which is in my pocket. The charger holds 5000 mah so I can use it for any least 3 days.
Also it was for only $30 at future shop so it's a good deal.

im trying to find a practicle portable usb charger but they are all too big and require u to carry around a cable to plug it in. which one did you buy? sounds pretty insane if its small and fits in your pocket with the phone AND packs in 5000mah. did u mean 500mah?

Too bad that doesn't ship to India.
Any other sellers that ship extended battery with cover for GSM model to India?

Galaxy Nexus Limited Edition Google Employee Backcover

Just dug up the link for someone else, so I figured I'd post the eBay listing for both versions while I have them pulled up.
This is the same back cover as was on the Galaxy Nexuses given out to Google employees on Christmas 2011.

Unfortunately no. :/ I've heard of people who have managed to get the stock extended battery to fit though. Next week I'll be ordering the 2100mAh extended battery and seeing what luck I get.

Yes the standard door fits just fine. Running it now.
