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

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.
Anyany reccomendations?
I bought mine on amazon and it was real cheap and works great.

How do i tell if its for my GSM phone or a CDMA phone?

And also is a seperate back needed for a 2000mh battery compared to the stock 1750?

Look at the model number. Verizon is i515 or something and GSM is 9250 and if it says lte its Verizon. I got two 2050 mh batteries and a wall battery charger for around $25 on amazon. They fit like the stock battery.

I've been looking for a battery as well. I tried Amazon and found some good prices but I couldn't find one that supports NFC. I found a battery from Mugen that does but they're out of stock.

Verizon is i515 and the battery is blue and more "square". GSM is i9250 and the battery is black and more "rectangle". You do need the extended battery cover. Most legit Samsung batteries + covers are ~$35 on eBay. Get a legitimate one.
If I were to purchase the Seidio 3800mAh extended battery and put it into my Sprint Galaxy Nexus, would I be able to put on a tpu case meant for the original size phone if I didn't use any back cover?

That's awesome to hear. Now I know which battery I'm getting. I don't like using anything other than OEM and I don't like extended covers, especially since I'm getting an Otterbox Defender.

Does the Sprint 2100 mah OEM extended battery + cover fit the Verizon Nexus?

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
Hey guys! My town just got 4G and i was wondering what would be the best battery to get because i know that the drain on the phone is pretty fast with the lte connection. i already have the official Samsung extended battery.

I bought this from ebay, works very nice.
Genuine Samsung Google Galaxy Nexus GT I9250 2000mah Extended Battery Case + Cover
It keeps the phone to a very decent size and it also has the NFC built in.
I use it with MiNCO rom and I must say the battery life is amazing!
PS: This is for the GSM (GT-i9250) model, what is your model? I don't think it would work with the LTE model
The stock battery is just shot on my Galaxy Nexus and this one looks good how much time are you getting between charges, and does it make the phone bulky? Thanks in advance
Will that work with the Sprint version?
My Gnex is white... There is an extanded battery whith a white cover for it?
