I'm in Canada so eBay was my only option...
I've even requested Mugen and this is the response I got:
Thank you for your email!
I think this model will release on next year,
I am no sure the mAh for this model yet, still on planing at the moment.
Please contact me if you need any additional info.
Best Regards,

Checking the power usage, most if it is being used by you guess it...
The display. For me this number flirts around 50%. That's a boat load of usage compared to everything else!
I guess Motorola didn't choose an energy efficient panel.

I was rather amazed to hear that the screen sucks so much battery! Thought a 3.1 low-res screen would rather give a better battery life.
May be a custom ROM with some tweaks can take care of this.
I'm going to leave brightness on about 40% for the day and see what happens. I normally have on auto brightness, and my usage does show the display using about 50% of the juice.
Yeah with respect to the display I don't think an HTC phone would be that high... Odd choice moto!

Eh, sometimes the Hero got up in the 30-40% display usage
how much thickness does the extended battery add? it's hard to tell from the picture, but it still looks like the there is the raised portion at the top of the device for the camera
Not much... I hardly even notice its there. The new battery backing even keeps a slight curve as the original slimmer one did.
I'm really happy this is an original Motorola product and the battery cover / door looks just like the thin one with the silver swirls and all.

cool. might have to pick one up from my local store.
Hi to everyone,
is there any lucky owner of Motorola Extended battery who can tell me how thick is phone with extended door? I ask one seller and he tell me Droid Pro with this original extended battery is about 1/2" thicker than with standard 1420 mah battery. But after I have read this thread I think it must be nosense. But there is no exact infor and no photo anywhere. Thanks a lot!
I'm really surprised to read about everyone having battery problems. I wouldn't describe myself a heavy user, but I do make several calls, send and receive a boatload of texts, have widgets that require data pulls set for every 30 minutes, do a small amount of internet browsing, and use the mp3 player for an of hour or so while working out and I have had nothing but amazing battery life. Being a BB convert a couple of devices ago, I can say with certainty that this, being my 3rd Android phone, has the best battery life so far. I usually unplug around 6am and by 11pm, I'm still at about 60-70%. No android device that I know of can touch the battery life of a BB, but this one has been very good so far.
It adds more weight than thickness imo. The battery is probably 1/8" thicker and the soor the same. Probably adds 1/4" more thickness overall, but there is a great weight different to me. Seem to hold a good charge though. Worth the $34 to me.
im really interested in this
please post a picture, only with extended door and battery one from the side
I'm waiting for:

Has anyone tried to fit the otterbox in w extended battery? May try to hack up the case so it will fit when i get it
I was able to cut out the back on the standard cover for the extended battery to stick out, and the otterbox seems to fit fine. If you don't want to cut your back cover, you can just leave the back off since the otterbox protects it, though I still like the idea of having an internal cover. I may go back and put some sort of rubber seal around the battery opening just in case. Will post pics later
Alternate Title: "Why Verizon and Samsung can Suck It"
DISCLAIMER: This post is purely my opinion and based on absolutely nothing except my experience with both batteries, and knowing Google and Verizon
The extended batter on the Nexus is perfect.......Too Perfect.
My nexus feels like an entirely different phone after.
Before, there was always an impending feeling that I that the phone was about the slip out of my hand. I could drop it at any moment. (with no case).
I slipped in the new battery in the VZW store parking lot and I couldn't believe what I was feeling. I'm still getting a case, but with this batter I'm confident I could hold on to it easily without one if I wanted to.
The back, that's maybe 1mm larger, completes the teardrop design of the phone PERFECTLY.
As several other have said, It just feels right.
My Theory: This is the phone that Google designed.
Do you think the engineers at Google looked at this amazing phone they designed and said "ok for the battery cover, lets go the opposite direction of the entire design and make the back concave IN THE OTHER DIRECTION"
No.
Do think they looked at this monsterous 4.5 inch samsung screen, and Verizons LTE network and said "Yea, lets put an 1850 mAh battery in this thing, even though we know the Bionic offers a whopping 2760 mAh extended battery and we could easily fit a 2100"
No.
What about common sense? What do you expect when you get an "exteneded battery?"
You expect it to be bigger. You expect it to stick out from the back. You expect it to mess up the lines and flow of the device because your trade off is a large capacity battery.
You don't expect the design to be lacking in the regular battery, literally noticeably wrong, and have the extended battery complete the real design.
Don't you think Google knows this?
With the extended battery this phone is too perfect, too symmetrical, the lines are too good, and common sense (Which you better believe Google wants in their flagship product) says they designed this phone for this battery.
So, Verizon or Samsung (or probably both, because they both get paid) made the deal with Google contingent on putting a smaller battery in the phone and thus creating the world's easiest upsell in the "extended" battery.
For people that already have the extended battery, I'm betting you agree.
If you don't have it yet, don't be quick to call BS on me here until you hold it in your hand. It's impossible to describe well enough the differences and perfection achieved until feel it and see it yourself.
I don't know about all that but this phone does feel awesome with the extended battery. I don't know why but before it felt very slippery and unstable.

This. The phone feels so much better in your hand with the extended battery cover, it needs to be experienced first-hand (no pun intended).
Although I have no idea whether google designed it that way or not.
I was actually thinking the same thing but considering the extended battery was only $25 I really don't mind paying for it.
I really dig the added weight. It feels more...solid?
Now I really can't wait to get this damn thing. Tomorrow hopefully. They said 2-day shipping when I ordered on Friday, today would make the 3rd day, but it didn't come. Bastards.

same thing happened to me. i complained to fedex, gonna see what they say lol
Depending when you ordered Friday its probably shipped Monday. I ordered my phone and extended battery Friday night and while I got a shipped email sunday (I think) Fedex didnt actually receive the item from Verizon until Monday at 6 AM.
I can't decide about how I feel about the extended battery. Luckily, our phones here came with both 1750 and 2000 mAh and covers in the box so I can switch back and forth. The 1750 battery/cover has the back concave with the little hump on the bottom. I think that keeps the design a bit consistent with their other Galaxy's (S II, S II LTE). I agree with you that the extended battery cover completes the tear drop PERFECTLY which surprised me. On the other hand, I think the added weight just makes me feel like I'm going to drop it. It's defiantly noticeable and I prefer the weight of the 1750 battery.
I'm not sure if I want something more comfortable and light or something better looking with more power.
My ext. battery showed up yesterday. With as much as I'm playing/setting up the phone, I needed more juice. I like having the added power and don't mind the weight/size, plus it still fits in my Incipio case (slight bulge but nothing I'll worry about). Once my honeymoon phase is over with the GN, I can flip-flop between batteries should I need to. Plus it was $25, can't pass that up.
Also, just for grins I thought I would mention the verizon phone shell is thicker not just the rear cover compared to the GSM..... So seeing as they already re-worked it for the bigger standard battery it would make sense that the extended battery works well with it. Even tho I'm really not a fan of most Verizon phones due the the need for huge bricks for batteries that are notoriously packed on the back.....
Does anyone else have an issue where the ext cover is slightly popped up around the camera? You can basically push the cover in/out right below the camera.
I think I read someone else posting about the cover not seating, but I think it may have been the stock cover.
Holy crap! You were kidding about this thing. This phone should've just shipped like this in the first place.

I think you should send your fellow korean in the states your 2000 mah battery and cover
I want to get the extended battery, But I want to know that it will work with the real car dock (the one that uses the pin connectors) whenever that thing is finally in stock. I am really upset that verizon is selling that cheap car dock knock off right now and isnt offering any accessories that take advantage of the pin connectors right now. (probably because they dont work with cases and VZ would rather sell more cases right now.)

If Verizon/Samsung put as much thought into this as you believe they did then you'd think they would have also realized that it's going to be much harder to convince someone to buy an extended battery because it feels better than because they need the extra juice? I would probably side with you if the stock battery was 1600mA or something but it's a sufficient 1850mA and the extended battery is barely larger.
I do agree with you to an extent but to say that they purposely flawed the design is a pretty big statement to be making...especially when this phone sits on the shelf right next to the Droid X and Razr which have FAR worse backs than this phone. Verizon didn't coax Motorola into poorly designing their phones so that the Nexus's faults would fly under our radar did they?
Perhaps, I'll have an incredible moment of epiphany when I get mine in the mail today but for now I remain skeptical.

It's only 1mm thicker...while that COULD be enough to make it fit improperly I doubt it.
i agree entirely with the OP. idk if samsung and/or verizon did it, or if google did it, but i do think that it was a bit of a cop out to put the crap factory battery in it. i think im going to pick up an extended today

FWIW the GSM version also has a smaller battery, smaller than the VzW version I believe, so you can't really pin this all on Verizon. But I do agree the extended battery makes for a better overall experience. I'm pretty much always around a charger so it's a non-issue for me, but I still go with the extended battery
Where are the pictures of this holy extended battery?
Update: nevermind, I don't have Verizon. Lucky you guys.
Question for those with a white 2000mah official extended battery
I received mine today from Amazon. and the top part of the new backing didn't clip into the phone. I've sent it back for a replacement. My question is, has anyone experienced this before or was I just unlucky and got a faulty cover? I have the I9100p (the NFC) model and was wondering if there is a compatibility issue?
Many thanks!
Hi,
Had exactly the same issue - I also have the 9100P and the back cover is slightly changed from the 9100 , the tabs on it are deeper and the extended back will not fit correctly.
I have yet to find an extended battery designed for the 9100P , ebay , amazon etc all sell the standard one. . .
I have also found that the phone does not fit well in all cases - again the back appears to be very slightly deeper??
Sorry cant be more helpful. .
All the best

thanks for the reply matey
looks like ill have to cancel the order for the extended battery
extended battery that makes the back of the phone flat without that curve?,i hear some have their clips at different positions, i dont know why samsung did this, i havent brought one due to this.
I bought the Andina battery 2000 maH and it works just as well as well as the Samsung and same size as original
I know there are a few people having problems with the fit of the new back cover for the extended battery but here's how i solved my problem.
I don't know about anyone else but my original battery cover actually fits although it is tight and there is a ridge in the back of the cover because of the thickness of the bigger battery. I got round this by using a nail file to file down the thicker plastic end caps at the top and bottom so they are flush with the thickness of the actual battery body i also rounded off the sharp edges. it doesn't give you much maybe just 1mm but it's enough to get a decent fit.
i hope i've explained that ok
pics? what to file?

Hold the battery side on you can see the top and the bottom plastic ends are just a little thicker than the battery body, they are the places to file but don't go mad. You'll only get about a millimeter but it's all you need. I've done it on my black i9100 and my daughters white one although the black battery cover is a little more flexible and easier to get on.
I have a similar problem with the black extended battery back cover I bought for my Orange I9100P. I got it from Amazon UK and I got a Korean NFC battery but the back cover from the UK battery just doesn’t snap in properly.
The bottom left just won’t snap in for some reason. The strange thing is that my mother has a SG2 from O2 the I9100 version and it fits perfectly into that phone. Is there a difference between the two models or is it a manufacturing fault with my phone? Should I send it back to Amazon for a replacement or should I be sending the phone back?
I have two pictures with the back cover on my phone, one with me pressing it down and the other with it loose but I'm not allowed to link to URLs yet. So if you want to see them go to imgur with this after the .com a/kaflG
this is the same as me it wont snap on right, i have even shaved the bits on the back off and still wont fit in right or the bottom left to.
i tried bending it a bit as well with still same of not fitting in right
I have i9100 and my girlfriend the i9100p.
I use the official extended battery and it stays on but not perfect. It does not fully snap on at the top.
It will not stay on at all on i9100p so I don't think there is a fault at all here it just seems that the p is slightly different for some reason and the back covers provided with the larger battery are just not that well made.

i've bought mine from samsung mobile store. No problem at all and fits perfectly

Fits just perfect
Sent from my GT-I9100 using Tapatalk 2 Beta-2
I may be wrong but I heard that the battery of the i9100p hosts the antenna of the NFC. Hence the different size with the i9100.
So, appart from your problem, changing the battery will mean that your NFC won't work anymore.
Hi all,
I just scored a used Galaxy Nexus, Sprint version, on eBay. It seems to be in good working condition, however the battery cover is not flush against the battery. There's actually enough space there that when I shake the phone, the battery shifts up and down in its housing, clicking against the cover. Is this normal with this model, or should I quickly take advantage of the 14 day return period?
Definitely return. NOT normal.
I would GUESS you have a standard battery with a cover for an extended battery
After Googling around a bit and looking at photos of batteries, it looks like my battery may have been switched in from a different Samsung phone, possibly a Galaxy S II. I suppose I could order a Galaxy Nexus battery and hope for the best, but I think I'm going with the return option. Better luck next time, I guess.

On further examination, I think you're right. Someone helpfully posted a serious of comparison photos on the Amazon listing for the Verizon extended battery/cover combo, and the extended cover looks pretty much like mine. Now the question is do I return the phone (since standard covers don't seem to be available anywhere), or suck it up and buy a bigger (heavier) battery for this one?

Personally, I use both the stock and extended Verizon battery, but I only keep the cover of the extended battery on me. Not once have I had an issue with the smaller battery shifting out of place. I'd say you keep it if there isn't anything wrong with the phone and even ask the seller if they happen to have the stock cover lying around anywhere.
Sent from my Galaxy Nexus using xda app-developers app
If indeed you have the stock battery with the extended cover and don't wish to buy anything extra (although i would recommend getting the extended battery for longevity reasons aswell as fit) you could opt for the primitive fix: tape a piece of paper to the inside of the cover to hold it tighter.
Sent from my Galaxy Nexus.
First, I did receive a review sample from ZeroLemon.
Pro: massive amount of battery
Worked first time. Living up to name ZeroLemon.
Case itself is grippy and comfortable
Con: It's LARGE, expect that.
It's not fast charge capable.
If you're looking for a slim solution, this is NOT your choice, if you're looking for massive amounts of additional power on the go without having to carry a cable and external battery, then this IS your solution.
As I'm sure everyone will mention, it's LARGE. Until battery tech gets smaller, you gotta cram that 8500mah battery somewhere. It's pretty hefty as well. If you wanted with this battery pack, you could outlast everyone around you in a marathon Pokemon Go session, long flights of movies won't be a problem. It's not going to provide any screen protection if dropped, but it might give you some arm workouts as you use the phone.
It's brainless to use. Plug your S8+ into the battery, slip it into the case. They provide a headphone extension cable if your headphones do not fit in the built in hole. Well packaged, instruction booklet was adequate, tho you won't need it. Press the button once and it gives a battery readout on the back of the case, press it 3 seconds, starts charging. All the button passthru's worked fine and aligned up. You are still "capable" of using the fingerprint reader, expect a bit more "reach" to get there. The case itself doesn't block the camera at all. No ghosting of the case in your photos.
If I were designing this, I would have added a flipout kickstand so you could just sit and watch movies without having to hold the bulk.
I want to purchase one of ZeroLemon 8500 mah battery packs but I can't seem to find a belt case/pouch that's compatible. This is my only drawback. I have always used ZeroLemon's in the past and am satisfied with the performance of their batteries.

I ordered the largest case Turtleback Leather had and it still is a little too snug. But, I gave it to my son for his Note 4, so all was not lost. But I notice they make a case for the S8 and S8+ for you friends that are interested.
I wish I could have gotten one
