It usually takes a while for spare parts and batteries to show up. Your best bet is probably to check if any other phone uses the exact same battery.

the battery in the GN has the nfc reader built-in. I can't think of another handset that has a battery with a built in nfc reader, so it looks like people will need to wait for a GN specific battery.

I know, we need to wait for the official one but it is really disappointing that nothing in moving in this sense.

Expansys have an official battery, item listing does state "please note: temporary picture"
They do list the right capacity for the battery, and I would've expected £30 for it considering it has the NFC aerial built in also.

not really a great price considered that with 40$ you can buy this:

sblantipodi I guess you don't know the average cost of genuine mobile phone batteries in the UK then. £30 is a reasonable expected price for this battery.

Just wondering if there's any word for the 2000ma extended battery that was released with the Korean version? Or does anyone know where to purchase one?

Because with the same battery technology there isn't a way to increase the capacity by that much without compromising the size.. otherwise manufacturers like Samsung would have put that into the stock device.

Probably, but probably not ... if that will increase the weight, or price for example.

Indeed. The weight is much higher and this battery doesn't have NFC. And at the end we are talking about an increase in capacity of only 30%.

we do celebrate Christmas in Hong Kong, but what the eBay page showing the item location is in mainland China, and no they don't celebrate Christmas. but I still wouldn't recommend it, as someone has said, they often exagerate the capacity or they die after 30 cycles, not to mention you could lose a limb or two.

Here is a link for you. I bought my white battery door from this place. This link is to the OEM battery.
http://www.parts4repair.com/samsung-galaxy-nexus-battery/

samsung, expansys and many online stores.

i have one couple weeks old i bought the extended one i have the back cover too let me know

shimshop the ebay seller, that sells the genuine samsung extended batteries, has both the regular battery and the regular battery door, but it is just not listed, you can send them a message from your ebay account saying you want the regular oem battery not the extended one, usually they respond very quickly and are accomodating.

Finally received mines yesterday from parts4repair. Their battery is NOT nfc capable even though it says it on the exterior.
Disclaimer: I did not test it out on a POS terminal, I tested it with my CharlieCard (Boston's subway card). The original battery was able to detect the card, the parts4repair battery didn't.

I took a sharpie across the nfc label to distinguish it from the original battery. I guess 10 bucks for an nfc battery was too good to be true. I'll still carry it around for when I need extra juice.

[Q] NFC battery replacements i9250 - very difficult to find!

I've bought 5 batteries now, all claimed to have NFC but they don't have it.
Where can I buy a replacement NFC battery? Do I have to make one? If so, how?
The batteries I have bought you need to avoid include:
- http://www.amazon.com/Samsung-Capac...UTF8&qid=1403692932&sr=1-5&keywords=I9250+nfc
- various from dinodirect sold as NFC but they actually don't have them
- a pisen from ebay. I think this brand doesn't make them
What is the address to buy one direct from Samsung?

do you have the gsm.or.cdma tuna variant?

Is there a way to find out of the battery supports NFC without using a nfc-tag? I bought one from mugen and could check it out for you.

That would be great, thanks
You could try the NFC Info. app for this.
Things to try:
- passports with the chip sign on the front
- newer credit cards
- keycards for getting in apartments
- anti theft rfid tags in stores. Common in the perfume section including toilet smellies
- many book stores put the tags inside the cover of books or in a random page
I contacted Samsung UK directly for a replacement. They were unable to point me to somewhere that has the batteries. When I really pressed hard (because I need this battery or I have to buy another phone) they ignored me. I think they are no longer making the batteries but enforcing the patent on the battery NFC design to prevent others from making them. The only people claiming to make them now as a result are fakers. This is anticompetitive of course and it means that if you buy a Samsung phone you can expect it to start to become broken in terms of NFC after a year or 2 as the battery fades. I think the practice has extended to newer phones. If true (that they're using this as a way to break our phones to get us to buy new ones) then I won't be buying a Samsung again.

I have this:
http://www.amazon.com/Onite-Extende...981067&sr=8-1&keywords=i9250+extended+battery
Works very well, still works as it did the first day it came (about 4 months ago)

Thanks! Went to buy but they won't send to the UK or Spain unfortunately. A friend in Hong Kong has bought me one that hopefully is real. If not then I might get in touch to see if you want to sell me yours on at a profit

This is the one I bought in 2012 and has worked perfectly since. It's a genuine Samsung extended battery with NFC.

I'm also looking for a battery replacement. The one that venni posted comes with a whopping 34$ shipping fees so that's not acceptable. Any other suggestions? Ebay is filled with these 2$ "superpower" batteries but I'm sure they are crap.

Delivery charges are same as the battery itself.

The shipping is expensive possibly because batteries are no longer allowed in air freight. Some companies accept them, but charge a lot more... or so I heard.
This is very much something to think about when you buy a new phone - buy a new battery while you can get one!

I bought 3 batteries. No one had NFC.
I'm thinking about buying this
http://www.ebay.it/itm/NFC-Antenna-..._Phone_Accessories&hash=item4ac9d6f8e8&_uhb=1
and connect with wires to the two nfc pins.
Do you think it would work?

[Q] Battery replacement OEM or high quality.

I was reading all the post and no body says if already get a new battery replacement for the Nexus 5, I'm in the USA for vacation and I want to buy one battery for a future replacement. Please share your experience with us or say where can we buy a new one (OEM or equivalent)in a store or online. Thanks.

You will get the same type of original battery. And opening your nexus 5 may void warranty (LG services center "conditions apply" ). But for future replacement, I don't think anything will happened to this battery. LCD Screen (with digitizer assembly) should be your choice for future replacement.

Destroying your phone for an extra 300mAh doesn't seem reasonable to me, but to each their own.

It's generally not recommended to buy a battery for "future replacement" because the battery is always degrading even just sitting on your shelf. It's recommended to buy a replacement battery only when you require the replacement battery.

Oh I see, I guess ordering it online isn't really an option from your home country? I don't think there will be any retail store with OEM Nexus 5 batteries, I think you would need to get it from a website such as etradesupply or equivalent.

You are right, we don't have a retail store who sell OEM parts or an official LG service, so I have to buy it here. In Colombia you can buy original parts for the most popular cells in the country but the Nexus 5 isn't one of them because they (Google) don't sell it there. I have to import it

I bought my nexus 5 directly in the play store, I have to buy the battery for the D820 version, for the D821 version or it doesn't matter? Thanks to all.

They all have the same internal specs. The battery should be fine, just as the screens and anything else.

If you want to buy only 1, then LG service center (with warranty you get). If you want more in quantity then try that site.

cant you just buy one on eBay and have it posted to you when you need a replacement? as someone said earlier if you buy a replacement now but don't use it for a year it will not be as good as a new battery

There are a lot of fake batteries on eBay so buyer beware.

I haven't decided to replace mine, yet. Fortunately, I can charge often and carry a power bank.

I bought the Polarcell 2450 mAh on the bay, for 23€
Battery life is now simply amazing.
Charging time is a little bit long (I don't enable the fast charge kernel option that scr#wed my previous original battery)
I couldn't reccomend it more. I can do a whole day with intense use.
Of course I use greenify, and tweak some CPU/voltage options
I use PureNexus ROM
