Today I received my 1800mAh Lithium-Polyner battery for my XDA Exec. The manufacturer claims 11% more load than a standard battery, while still fitting in the standard battery slot, without the need for a thicker cover.
It is cheap as hell (20 euros) and can be found here: http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayISAPI....from=R8&satitle=220016822659&category0=&fvi=1
It's currently charging so tomorrow at the end of the day I should be able to tell how it compares.
So Wiz, how is the battery holding up?
I've used replacement batteries in the past and they all seem to have problems reporting the correct charge. Is this one the same?
Good luck,
Pug.
say clear of seller mr buybits on ebay his 3200 battery always say 100% and you wont get the black battery cover thats advertise , insted you get a silver cheap looking one
i bought a 3800mAh battery with black case from expansys. it works flawlessly. the extra thickness is worth the extended battery life. i don't have to pay attention to the battery at all now (as long as i charge it every night of course)
whow what it last 24 hours .. tell me more about that battery .how many hours you get from it using in wile the screen is on ?? and how much was it ?
regards

Hi.. How thick is the additional bat? Do you think it will still fit the piel frama book type leather case? Im thinking of buying the same from expanys. Good thing I bumped into your post
Thanks!
Thick
It's thick, you will not be able to use your Piel Frama case.
yup it's about an extra 9mm, but my belt case fits it nicely (an old iPAQ 'extended battery' case). the belt case i originally had for it was too tight with the stock battery anyway.

Really? Even if I squeeeeze it in? haha.. I was hoping that I can still use my case... I love this case!
Ok, I will let you guys know if I was successful in trying to squeeze it in. i will also let you know if I managed to tear / break the case, haha. Thanks!

I don't use any case whenever I'm using the extended battery. Don't try to squeeze it in, i tried it before on my Piel Frama case, u will just end up breaking that wonderful case of yours.

Ok then. I'll take that you broke your wonderful case??? It's just that I so wanted to still use it despite the bulky battery. Thanks for the advice. I'm gonna order from expansys soon. I'm just checking other sites in case there's a better place to order the extended bat. I'd love to have the lion battery but it's too expensive so I'm settling for the 3800 mAh one.
P.S. I found this "pencil case" that would probably perfectly fit my dopod with the extended bat... BUT (yes, a big but), it's a Barbie pencil case. Sure, im a girl and i'd probably pull it off but still, isn't it a big insult for our fabulous phone? haha..

Hehehe, that's cute! I think the 3800 mah battery is also lithium ion. I understand your praise about the universal. I mean it's a great device, especially the VGA screen (that stands out from the rest of the PPC phone). I bought my extended battery from ebay.
1800mAh battery
The thread has gone somewhat off-topic here. I have used the 1800mah battery for a week or 2 now, and it does deliver the additional 12%
It may not be as much as the 3800 battery, but for day to day usage that battery is too thick and heavy anyway. I prefer to keep that one for long business trips or holidays.
The 1800 battery just gives that little extra while allowing the Exec in it's regular case (for me Covertec)
Where did you buy your battery from?the site that i saw that had it they were currently out of stock.I have ordered the other battery but it is huge makes it feel like a gun is in my pocket.The jj is already a monster and to add the extra weight is a ilttle too much.

Its not in english so i dont know wth it says.Im in the US and am skeptical about what im reading.
As the seller has a 99.5% positive feedback from 48378 ebayers, i would assume it is as safe as you are going to get! If in doubt, give him a shout - Send a message, i am sure you will get a response fairly quickly?
It does state worldwide shipping and to contact the seller for details.
sent a message with no response.I would like to know the total in us dollars though.the way i figure it ,it comes to almost 60 bucks and pdaden has them for 46 shipped and 52 for a 2-3 day shipping.i will wait another day to see if he can let me know how much it will cost me.
I got free shipping to the netherlands for that price. Until now it performs admirably. I'll try to run some SPB battery rundown tests this weekend both with the original shipping battery and this 1800mAh li-polymer battery.
PS I didnt notice the 1750 Pdaden batteries until the last post by southernint3l, but from where I am at, the free shipping to the Netherlands beats the $10-$20 shipping I would have to pay from the US hands down.
I have been wanting a extended batter for my dx but wanted a case that fit it right. Well Trident made that happen.
I have already bought this product and it is pretty nice. MY phone is pretty thick now but I actually find it easier to hold. I know a few people have also posted wanting something like this so check it out. Price isn't to bad either if you consider you are getting a good case and an extended battery.
xda won't let me post links yet so you will have to find it yourself. Its on cyclopscase<dot>com
Go to the website above, choose droid x on the left and then sort by highest price and it should be the first one.
t would be nice if they sold it without the battery too

Yeah it sucks when you already have the battery and want to buy the case.
On a good note though. WHen you're just at home for a long period of time, you can charge one battery and take it out and charge the other one. Then when you're out and about all day, bring both batteries with you and switch em out when one dies.
Well, the hard part for me is finding a case that works with larger batteries. Which is why it was a relief to find this, which has a case made just for the extended battery.
Isnt the Trident Electra Better than the cyclops? its 3200mh
*edit* nevermind.. I missread what you were looking at.
Trident is making the best stuff now
They passed otter box up ages ago
I would never buy another otter box product after I wrote them an email and they never had the professionalism to write me back.
They must be all about money and greed.
I got the 175$ deal from letstalk, which despite the delays is a good price since even 3 weeks later the phone is going to be just as nice. anyways i ordered the following accessories
xo-skin from HERE with coupon SPRINTXO that gave me 30% off
and
the diztronic glossy smoke translucent from HERE. I got this because while i like the matte finish for looks, its hard to get it into the pocket and out, and is a link magnet instead of the fingerprint magnet that the glossy is and im not that bothered with fingerprints.
but mainly.. its sad that both of these will reach me before the actual phone.
Hehe same. I got the extended batt. and the XO skin already. Hunting down a good holster/case. Phone should be arriving this weekend for me though.
mines estimated to ship 12/30, which means the earliest i can get it is 1/3 since its going to my workplace.
So I purchased the trexcell extended battery with NFC support awhile back (love it! I have gotten 30 hours off one charge and I am NOT a light user of my phone!) but when I purchased it I had to modify a TPU case to get it to fit (neccessary as I upgrade so often I always buy case/screenprotector to maximize resale value).
A few weeks ago Seido came out with their hard case and I jumped all over it and am pleased with it but what I really love is TPU cases. My nephew was looking online for a nexus for his GF (an iPhone convert, rejoice!) and we came across this today! Had I not bought my Seido hard case I would definately get this (or this combo if I didn't have the battery already).

I am just posting this for those that are looking for a similiar solution as I have been very pleased with it!
Well I saw it here: http://www.seidioonline.com/samsung-galaxy-nexus-3500-extended-life-battery-p/bacy35ssgng-gy.htm but I want to see if anyone have a picture of it with the cover: http://www.seidioonline.com/samsung-galaxy-nexus-convert-extended-case-holster-p/bd4-hkr4ssgnlx2.htm since those pics are not the best ones. Also do you recommend it?
Thanks
No one? I really want to know before buying it.

I don't have a picture at the moment. I don't have that exact model, but the model I got from ebay is a 3800 mAh. I also got a case that fits around it.
With the case and the battery it is probably twice as thick as the phone with standard battery and no case. I don't mind, it fits in my pocket very easily and I feel much more comfortable with it.
took some pictures
I also have 3800mah battery, i took some pictures. rider.planet.ee/nexus
At first it felt little bit to big, but after few days its ok, fits in pocket.

Same questions to you... Have you been able to find any cover?
I just bought a cheapie ebay extended battery with cover, and it definitely improves battery life to nearly double the oem battery. I am pleased for the $8 I paid.

Couple it with a bumper case (so the cover fits) and you have decent protection.
I bought an Onite 3500 mAh battery from Amazon several weeks ago for vacation days hiking. I was surprised how small it was. I didn't take it off until a week after I got back. In the city I get at least 2 days with juice to spare. It also supposedly has NFC, but haven't used it yet. It came with an extended back cover.
I bought an extended soft TPU case and pair that with a Seidio surface holster.
I paid about $13 for the battery, and combined with cases, no shipping.
I'm definitely happy with the battery.

they send me 3800mAh instead of 3500mAh, or is it just a sticker on the battery that says its 3800mAh, definitely it lasts longer than OEM battery. Haven't bought case yet, but this one looks nice - amazon.com/Trexcell-Transparent-Thermoplastic-Universal-aftermarket/dp/B007XWP788/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1344185186&sr=8-1&keywords=extended+soft+TPU+case+nexus

I bought that case and it is fine. It is actually somewhat translucent and has a slight pattern on the back. It means I can't keep my mad money in my phone case, but otherwise it did the extended battery well.
The Onite batteries seem to be getting more expensive but they can still be found for about 25 dollars, which I still think is a good deal. My 13$ battery is a veritable steal.
