Don't expect it to do any wonder. Jused a Mugen battery on my N97 back in the days and it had the same battery life as the standard Nokia battery.
/CK
99!!! Too expansive.
Here's 3500mAh with normal price.
Mugen with overprice battery.
I used one of these "extended batteries" for my previous phone.. Didn't work very well.. Maybe this one is better
I lol @ anyone who thinks that a 8$ extended battery is actually any better than the stock one Possibly even worse.

On my previous phone 6$ battery with 3500mAh worked much longer than stock battery.
I might get this battery. I am getting a decent amount of battery life now. I want to see how fat the mofo will be first!
I've used a 3200mAh from Mugen for my Desire and it worked fine. Will try this one, should give you round about one business week.
I keep you in touch when I got it.
Had an excellent experience with the same battery for SGS and definitely going to buy this one for my SGS II!!!
Mugen batteries are quality batteries.
If a 1650mAh samsung battery costs about 50$, then 99$ for double the power is a logical price.
mugen makes great batteries. bought one for my nexus one and it works great. you take risk buying those el cheapos on ebay. not all are bad, but by the time you finish buying one that is rated at face value you might end up spending $99. haha.
And your beautiful slim-lined phone is gone...
No thanx!
who needs slim? some people like meat on their phones. and for them to keep going and going all night long.
I just pulled the trigger! Got it directly from mugen which ships on the 15th:

I've used their extended batteries for the nexus one, the G2x and the Atrix and all of them have been awesome. I'm not really bothered by the thickness or weight of the phone as some do. I prefer the extended battery life. Didn't think twice about this one.

Yeah it will. Mugen makes very good batteries.
The only issue now is to see how many MM they've added onto it! It looks pretty ugly right off the top. But that's OK I guess.
I get 1 full day of usage off of the stock battery. So the extended will give me 2 days as it's just under 2x the power.
15.5 mm with the mugen accessories. so almost double thickness.
srsly?
Nearly 100 quid to make your phone look ugly as hell?
I easily get 2 days out of my battery, no need to dismember it like that.

And do you actually USE your phone? Yesterday mine was on standby for about 24 hours with 1 hour of screen usage in the 24 hours. This morning I woke up, I had 65% left. Which is fine! Perfect. But with me actually using my phone all day? I'll get 18 hours. Now! Imagine playing games and streaming content all day with that huge battery hehe.
I like the battery, I won't like the design of the phone much afterwards. I'll wait for someone to get it and take lots of pictures and even a video review. I'm not dying right now for battery life Not to mention, an OEM battery is about 24 euros. So I could get essentially 3 OEM batteries for less than the price of the Mugen!
Interested.....
Waiting for opinion on the batery
Cheers
What is the biggest battery I can get for the Sprint GNex that can stay in the stock battery cover???
I think only the original battery will stay with the stock cover. I have the official extended battery and the increase in thickness isn't really noticeable. I personally feel that it makes the device more uniform.
the biggest battery you can get with stock battery cover is 1750 mAH
I have the sprint version which comes with an 1850mah
You all are false, I have the Anker 2200mAh battery and it uses OEM battery door, as well as requires no modification what so ever. Here. You will lose NFC however.
Here is the samsung version for the GSM version which includes NFC capability!!! check it out here
I have a GSM Nexus for my daily (other one is for work) and I use this Mugen battery. Yeah it's pricey but I had eBay bucks collecting I practically go it for free. I really think it works better than the OEM Samsung battery. I can usually get easily 2 days running Franco's 217 JB kernel OC'd to 1512 or w/e it is.
I found this http://www.amazon.com/Ecell-FEIPUSI-2200MAH-CAPACITY-BATTERY/dp/B0086KT4SA
I don't know if it will work with my sprint GNex though???

I'd agree with xreflection. Make sure it clearly states it's for the exact model of your phone. Also, I've never heard of Ecell, nor have I ever seen a thread about an Ecell battery, therefore I'm sure it's not really a 2200mAh battery, just something rebadged as a 2200mAh battery.
I would stick to OEM, Anker, Mugen, Hyperion, Qcell and Galileo. I've had nothing but fantastic results from those companies in the past. Can anyone else add any reliable battery manufactures they've had positive results with?
I would be weary of the mAH claims of various unknown-brand batteries. The capacity of a lithium ion cells is in direct proportion to size. So if one battery is claiming to be the same dimensions as another but has an extra 200mAH then something is up. All of the batteries use the same technology so there is no magic here. Other than what little they can do on the circuit board. It mostly comes down to the fact that most people can't measure the actual capacity of the cell.
I trust the samsung extended battery and it actually improves the feel of the phone. I think that's about the best you can do.
Oherwise you're looking at really increasing the size of the phone and that's down to your personal taste. For my hands I actually prefer the bigger phone and enjoy charging it every three days with the 3800mAH whale battery.

I've also had great experience with those battery manufactures. Also, I just received a battery from Amazon called Onite (only 3500mah I could find that works with NFC and was for the GSM version). when I get the phone tomorrow, I will test her out and write again giving it a review.

Yeah, I know. I only saw one review on Amazon and I couldn't really tell if it was real or not. But, hey for a price of $12.80 why not take a chance? Hey, if the battery explodes I will make sure to have T-Mobile phone insurance and hopefully a warranty with the phone! With my HTC Evo 4G, I bought all my batteries from eBay first but then after I discovered some overheating issues I started buying batteries from Gorillagadgets.com. Its a shame they don't have any accessories for the Gnex. With my Evo though I got as much as 3 days out of one charge with a 3500mah battery and the perfect rom and kernel combo. Hopefully I'll be able to have at least 1 1/2 with Jelly Bean. We will see tomorrow.

Hey, just a quick update! I received my phone as well as my Onite battery today (hoping it wasn't going to explode!) and I haven't even opened up the OEM battery yet! I popped in my sim and battery immediately and began setting it up. I'd say the battery was at about 55% (if I remember correctly, around there) when I received it at 5:30 and it just died about 15-20 minutes ago so it lasted around 5-5 1/2 hours (of heavy usage mind you, I was playing with it the entire time, I think I put it down once) and I hadn't even charged it yet! With my experience with extended batteries I know its good to cycle them first and let them die the whole way, then charge them up the entire way a few times to get 'em warmed up so thats what I'm doing now. I'll update again tomorrow when I use it for an entire day.

I just got my Galaxy Nexus yesterday and was also looking at an extended battery. I'm not keen on anything exploding so I'm a bit wear and looking forward to hearing about your experience.
Do you have any images of what your phone looks like with the Onite battery + cover attached?
Hey. Yeah it will be hard to determine until next week what the battery really does in regular use, because I just got my wisdom teeth removed so I'm just running on WiFi all day. I've been running it non stop since around 10 and its at 77% now so we'll see. As for the picture tbh it can't do it justice. The phone is already thin and light enough and the battery (imho) makes it feel better in my hands and adds virtually no excess weight.

or you could make your own Samsung extended battery if your handy.

you should give us a bit more info on your preference to help you better. if you dont mind changing batteries out throughout the day you could just grab a 2nd OEM Samsung batt and be good?
or if you want the best slim battery? etc...
So Mugen Power is the best, Right ?

has anyone checked out the 3250 mah battery? just search "3250 samsung galaxy s3" on ebay. sorry i can't post links atm. It doesnt come with a battery door cover so i don't think it will add any bulk
Hey over there,
I've tested Mugen, Seidio, Acase, qCell, and many, many more on the original Galaxy S (Epic for Sprint,) the Fascinate (Galaxy S for Verizon,) Epic Touch 4g (Galaxy S2 for Sprint,) and have been toying around with the S3 for Sprint and some friends' phones for about a month.
I'd say you have really two choices... drop the big money and buy ONE Mugen or Seidio, or just buy a couple qCell batteries. Of the five/six qCells I have used and/or tested on my friends' phones, I'd have to say that only one varied in charge capacity from 10-20% of the advertised charge capacity (4200mAH)... and that was after two months of usage that was inconsistent.
For $20 and standard Amazon Prime shipping, I'd just buy two qCells and call it a day. Even after a month of daily or every-other-day full charging, I have not noticed a "memory effect," (yes, Lithium Ion batteries have a memory effect and anybody who tells you otherwise can't spell "hysteresis").
Why buy two? First off, you're going to NEED TWO if you do deep fieldwork in urban environments like I do. There are some nights where I'm sleeping in a gutter in the middle of no where and have to have my phone on 4G to upload ethnographic observations. There are some days I will *not* have access to an electrical outlet, have to use 4G, data transfer, TeleNav, Google Maps, video capture software, sketching software, and a bunch of other *&#^ at the same time, and if you think for a SECOND that having two standard batteries is going to be enough, then you're insane. You need at *least* one, 4000mAH battery with a modern smart phone if you're going to be using these services HARD ALL DAY, and easily two after you've broken the batteries in for a few months.
(Ever try running from a crackhead in the South end of Chicago while changing your battery since you need to dial your primary investigator and tell him that you may not make it back to publish your thesis due to a massive stab wound? Yeah, that's what I thought).
Also, as a word of caution... remember... a lithium ion battery is like a horse's stomach:
1. It needs to be filled often.
2. It needs to be emptied often.
3. If it's used hard (aka extremely warm,) you need to give it a little break (let it cool down ~10 degrees F) before filling it again.
4. When you get a new one, always remember to establish a consistent feeding pattern for a while, (aka always completely empty and completely fill a new battery 10-20 times before you start charging it while half full or while the phone is on).
Hoppingfully yours,
--SLN

How much "screen on time" are you getting on that Rom? Screen on time is what matters. Anybody can make their phone last 20 hours with the way the usage & functions are being managed.
I prefer the stock battery, I personally don't like the larger battery because I bought my S3 for the slimness.
I'm running stock battery and cm10 milestone 1 and average well over 4 hours of screen time!

Has anyone tried the 3200mah extended slim battery by sporting persistance? If so how does it perform?
I been using it for about a week. I think it's the perfect size to get a mid level user through the day. I still have to charge it at the end of the day, but on days that I don't really use my phone I think that it would make it a day and a half(I always charge my phone at night so I'm not sure).
Just to let you know ,I always have GPS on, when outside I usuall have my screen at full brightness, and I am currently using a Live wallpaper.
I'm am running Juice Defender for when the screen is off.
I do more surfing, checking emails, reading news and forum posts, than I do calling and texting. I also play some games from time to time.
I'm happy with the battery's performance so far. I only thing I worry about is the longevity of keeping charge over time. I've never heard of the brand before and it seems to be the only battery of this capacity while keeping the stock dimensions.

Does your NFC still work with the sporting battery?
I don't use NFC anymore, but I did test it, and it does work. The only reason I got the NFC version is because it had a larger mah than the non-NFC model.

Honestly I doubt a random ebay battery is really 3200 mAh. Especially at stock size. That being said, it seems to be at least stock capacity, has working NFC, and hopefully at least decent quality control (unlike those Samsung "OEM" batteries on Amazon which are seriously hit or miss)

Is almost always a miss, we havn't seen advancements in batteries (lithium ion) in years so naturally size directly affect capacity.
That being said you can't have a larger capacity battery that is the same sized as OEM. And because these are most likely from unnamed brands, it's probably even worse than stock.
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'm not content with my 1750 mAh battery, so I ordered a 3800 mAh extended battery. It will probably degrade after half a year if not earlier. But heck it was only €13 and thats like nothing for 6 months. The looks are horrible (from what I've seen on the internet), but I'll get used to it.

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?

Are we talking GSM or LTE here? Because that's a dream come true to have a full days use on the LTE variant with stock battery. I need to charge this bastard 3+ times a day on moderate to heavy use.

I can only last a day with stock battery with light use (GSM version). Otherwise I also have to charge it 2/3 times a day with heavy use. That's why I'm looking into these batteries.
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???

well the 3800 is thicker than 2450 so it will need a bigger case
I once got 6hrs of screen-on time with a Seidio 3800MaH battery. I kid you not.

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. Very good (and many) reviews too. *EDIT* It's only for the LTE Nexus, not GSM... */EDIT* But it's price is a little high for me...
It was quite impressive actually.
I had the used the phone particularly heavily that day, and suffice to say, I was quite.. Well, impressed.

Appearantly not all Nexus batteries are the same? I'm using the GSM Nexus. Tell me if I understand this correctly, but CDMA Nexus is from Verizon, and LTE Nexus is from Sprint, and both are not GSM devices, meaning their battery (LxW dimensions) are not the same? 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
