Too bad it's hella delayed. It says "PRE-ORDER NOW for shipping end of this week." So that means it's pretty soon.
I'd suggest getting the 3600 mah over the 1800 because the 3600 makes typing much quicker, but it hurts in your pockets.

I believe he meant that you can type easier/quicker because the 3600 battery increases the thickness of your X1

Hmm
A battery is not an application or a theme so...
Misplaced thread?

First of all, who would trust a battery/manufacturer that cannot even spell Sony Ericsson (Erisson!) correct?
Then, what makes me wonder, what kind of a battery COVER they include! Remember, ours are brushed aluminum and people state that is used to reflect heat (heatsink).
So, one could imagine they include a Plastic Cover. How would that affect the phones heating problem...
Kindly, anybody that gets the first 3600 battery from them, let us all know if they spelled finally Ericsson correctly and what material the battery cover is (and if it fits correctly and tightly!).
Thanks

Try this: Get a bifold wallet and put it behind the battery cover of the Xperia.
Now type the same sentences on your x1 keyboard with and without the wallet.
The battery is thinner than the wallet and so typing would not be as easy than with a wallet.
I am guessing you did not see the extended battery cover because I accidentally posted a link to the home page instead of the extended battery page.
And the 1800 mah battery is the same size as the original oem 1500 mah battery except it has more capacity.

Sony Ericsson... the web site labeled the phone as a Sony Ericsson. This is correct, you're just ignorant to double check!
And the battery cover for the extended battery is metallic. I just posted the wrong link, I posted a link to homepage instead of extended battery page.

I pre-ordered the battery, I will inform you guys.

Ignorant.... are you talking to me???????????
Read the label on the battery dummy, it says
E r i s s o n missing the C ! Who's ignorant or
can't really spell ? If you trust such a company, be my guest! Waiting for your report when you finally got one!

You mean the black battery right?
Anyways, it doesn't matter until we get the actual battery. But who cares about the name, I will only complain about the name if I get an oem battery that spelled their brand name wrong, otherwise if it's from a 3rd party company, then quality is the best thing to be concerned about.
Also there were prototype Nokia N86's that were labeled N86 on its shell, and these phones were N86's. Also, the 1800 mah battery spelled it correctly with the same phrasing that the 2700 mah battery has: "FOR SONY ERICSSON XPERIA". The black battery is unclear quality too.
We will see when we get the battery.
I just saw the clear version and it's indeed spelled wrong.

That's why I went the 1800 road! When I get it I will know if that's a real working battery and if it blows up, I paid much less then if it would be the 3600 battery

think i must hold the xperia differently to you, would make no difference to me how thick the phone is. i kinda hook my first fingers around the top and side of the fone so the finger makes a C shape. the whole inside of the finger is gripping the phone and my second fingers are barely touching the back. i can type very fast this way and the phone is well supported. one problem i see with the thicker battery is getting the phone to fit in the phone case i have. ive got the official sony case and its a very tight squeeze as it is. another 5mm would probably be ok but anymore than that and i doubt it would fit. its hard to see from the picture the dimensions of the 3600mah battery but im guessing since its twice the capacity its probably twice the size too.
spotted this on ebay.... worth the risk??

Looks generic for sure, it also looks like not only is this made from china but it's a chinese company... the model number is a legal trick...
I think this is how it works:
It's ok to call your generic fake battery a BST-41
It's not ok to call you generic fake batter a Mugen BST-41
It's ok to call your generic fake N95 an N95
It's not ok to call your generic fake N95 a Nokia N95
And dave, I have fixed the URL link to the extended 3600 mah battery, you will see the actual battery.
Or you can go here http://picasaweb.google.com/mugenpower8/SonyEricssonXperiaX1BST41#5307678349589177746
It's thicker than it looks, because look at the Xperia, the Xperia in this picture looks thin, therefore the battery cover looks thin even though it is much thinker.
Anyways you will see the battery is black and it says Sony Erisson instead of Sony Ericsson... this still makes it a REAL MUGEN battery. No worries.

After seeing so many exploding cases on the news when using cheap 3rd party china brand and made battery, i'm willing to pay extra more for a non-china made product.. At least less risk of my X1 exploding near my chest or my groin..

And worst of all you can't sue the company for millions.

Dudess, don't think of sueing before you even have the battery or before it even explodes in your face.
So why don't we just wait until one has the battery for real in hand...!

think ill stick with the proper mugen 1800mah battery. its only a tenner more.

WELL? i want to know what happened! ...did they both get cheap explosive batteries and die or...?

Hmm... think can consider the 1800mAh one...

Seidio extended battery... IT'S COMING!

I know many of us have been anxiously waiting to see for an extended battery option from Seidio (or other reputable 3rd party), but nobody has announced one for the Captivate until now. Finally:
http://www.seidioonline.com/category-s/4411.htm
Unfortunately, no mention of price or when it will be released as it's currently "under development" but that they have added it to their store is exciting enough!

Yeah I just saw that too, and wow 3200mah is huge!

Do you think they will make a case for it? I have the body glove that was launched with the phone. I kind of like it. Has anyone purchased from these guys before? Any experiences to share. Did you buy a case? They made a huge battery for the EVO didn't they?

This means a battery about 2 times as thick as the current one, so expect a custom back with a bumpout for battery.
The Moto Droid 2800 extended battery is $69 so this one will be between $70 and $90 - I would rather have a spare battery or an external rechargeable charger for half the price. I would never make "The Captain" thicker. No pot bellies (or junk in the trunk) on my captain just a slim toned physique.
But Seido has always made a good product - usually they can take the current sized battery and squeeze a little more in - like an 1800mAh in the current size. I hope.

Has anyone actually tried to wrap their head around what this thing will look like?
Our fancy locking closure will either make this thing hideous or cause our phones to look like the back of an Incredible (which I don't mind personally, I liked the terraced back. It reminds me of the zen like nature of steppes carved into a mountain for hillside farming.)
Either way, I want one. I'm just actually trying to fathom the design, and what will happen to the sound quality being the speaker is built underneath the battery cover.

We'll see... I don't think it will be that bad, as the Evo battery only adds "5-6mm" to the phone and that is a 3500mAh battery. But given the option, I would prefer a battery in the range of 2200-2400mAh that only adds maybe 2-3mm. But beggars can't be choosers.
If they could crank out a 1800mAh "slim" battery that does not require a cover, that would be excellent as well. They have 1750mAh for the Incredible and Evo, so who knows.

I have one of their "big" 2600 mAh batteries for my old Bold 9000 and while it put hump in its back, it fit my hand great and having that extra power was fantastic. I'll get this when it comes out.

Im totally down for this hopefully they make the back tapered and not just a straight "step" up, I'm 6 foot 3 and consequently have large hands so I wouldnt even mind my phone being a lil bit thicker.

16 reviews for a company that has been selling accessories for many years (5 that i know of) is not much of a statistic.
I can tell you that, when I was a moderator for Qusers, many people bought from Seido and never had a problem. that doesn't mean there is no problem, but everyone I know that has bought from Seido was satisfied. Their products are regularly review by major blogs, and amazon shoppers give their cases 4.5/5.
I have shopped at hundreds of sites and never filled out a review for resellerratings - so I am not sure that they are the best source for any information.
From my knowledge of the company I would not hesitate to buy from them. if they put out a 2000mAh battery that is the same size as OEM, i will buy it in a second.

I would rather leave the internal battery in place and add a accessory cover with a priority battery slot. The internal battery might have to be replaced with one a mm or two shorter to allow room for the internal battery disconect. With an internal secondary and external primary, the phone could remain in operation during battery changes. Yes, this would add a hump, but I think the phone would fit my hand better...

mm.. I really rather have the same size format but a little more juice to it..1800mAh
how much more juice would that be compared to the standard 1500 :O

I have Seidio batteries for my Canon DSRL camera and it works just as good as the original one.

Anyone know of any extended life battery for this phone yet. This is insane this phone has been out a while there should be somethin. I saw the vibrant has a 3000mah, bout to get that and just stick it in without the back cover and throw a silicon case over to hold it in. Saw that amzer has a 1600 but thats almost not worth it.

Who proof reads these things?
"Samsung launches the Power Pack EBB-U10 for the Galaxy S i9000 in Germany. The Power Pack is an external battery that attaches to the back of the phone basicallt and offers 8.5 hours talk time and 500 hours of talk time."
So is that 508.5 hours of talk time?

Is it worth buying the bigger batteries from eBay?

If more than 2000, no.

Weight and size.
Sent from my R800x using XDA

as netizenmt mentioned, weight and size are factors to consider. a buddy of mine has the extended batteries and they're thick. if you have a leather case it'll be quite a challenge to close it...let alone use the case snaps to clamp on the sides of the phone. given that the play is slightly thicker already, the thick batts really make it bigger. just be careful if you do order the batts. i read somewhere in the forum about them being sold through ebay...only to find out that some aren't "compatible". can't remember if that meant function-wise.

If the case requires the PLAY's original dimensions, then no. The MUGEN battery protrudes further than the stock battery

the MUGEN battery is bigger and heavier, but you would have to really work your phone to get through it in a day, ive left my phone running castlevania sotn at 180fps for about 8+ hours with a 1.5ghz oc and i still had power to spare..
essentially the great thing about these batteries is that battery life doesnt become a concern anymore, i get about 3 days battery life with standard use, if i turned off data, god knows how much i would get.
iphone users jaws drop when i tell them i get 3 days battery, i love it.

Yeah but you carry a behemoth around with you

i dont think about the weight, in fact i usually still have trouble feeling it vibrate and i have to touch my pocket every now and then to make sure i still have it.
ive had a comment off a teenage girl before who seemed rather offended at the prospect of trading size for battery life.. but she probably also doesnt understand why i want a gamepad.. noone else, or me cares.
the part i care about is being able to use my phone, for anything, whenever i want and never having battery be a factor. its completely worry free. my ultimate device in my pocket that can always be relied upon. i quite like the feel of the gamepad with the thicker back cover, and i honestly dont think the replacement cover is anywhere near as visually offensive as many slab phone back covers which jut out in crazy places, im 100% happy with it.
you have already decided to sacrifice some form for having a gamepad, why not sacrifice a bit more form to be able to use it to its fullest extent?

Bigger battery (at least 3.000mAh) with fitting cover **not juicer**

As the guys from fixit showed in their teardown, it's quite easy to remove the back cover and detatch the battery
So the ideas that comes to mind is: Will there ever be an extra size replacement battery coming with a custom back cover?
I mean the same accessory you can find for mobiles with a replacable battery (such as Galaxy S4)
For example: Does anybody knows wether the BL-T7 battery from the Lg G2 can fit?
** I don't mean a cover sporting a battery juicer.

Don't think so. If they intended to allow users to replace the battery they would've made the back cover removable

This is about what will come to market to enhance the Nexus5
Even if the battery is not made to be replaced every day, who cares?
Do you place and remove the display protecting film every day?...NO, you just place it once and stop caring
It's quite obvious that the poor battery is just a marketing strategy not to overcome the almost as twice expensive Lg G2.
But it's a replaceable part, I mean it's not the soldered ram

Personally I have zero battery issues, the thing lasts all day for me and then some with medium usage. That said, it's clear that battery matters a lot to people.
I don't think it was some grand scheme by Google or LG though. They built a phone and kept it under a pretty strict budget. Could they have added a bigger battery? Sure, but there are quite a few people out there that don't need it, and those that do, probably are using things like Notes and Maxx's and such or carrying portable chargers already. You can't satisfy everyone with a product like this and although it's clear that Google is trying to make the Nexus name more relevant, it's part of a market where different people want different things for their phones.
The back isn't meant to be removed by us though, the fact that it is relatively easy to do just makes for quicker, less costly repair times which is all about the bottom line. Using a removable battery also helps keep costs down and keeping customers from messing with it helps as well. Maybe somewhere down the line someone will make a bigger battery for it, but from what most of the sites are saying and the teardown indicates, you shouldn't be holding your breath for it. The Nexus 5 is a great phone for some people and for others it's just not going to be what they really need in which there are many, many alternatives.

Unlikely. A replacement cover would need
-vibration motor
-Wifi, NFC, GPS antennas
-Wireless charging coil
-4 magnets for docking
Just get an external battery.

I wonder if the back is right up against the battery. As in if it is possible to add a slightly thicker battery for longer run time.

Hopefully, some enterprising Chinese companies would come up with batteries that'll fit in the phone but with slightly larger capacity.

no thanks...I'm stuck with cinese battery declaring a huge capacity and then dropping all of a sudden from half battery to ZERO battery......

I would totally buy a bigger battery and perform the swap for 25% more life or better

comapring the ifixit pictures with that one, the battery connector is on the wrong side.

The cover would be pretty spendy I bet. The vibrate motor is attached the back cover along with the wireless charging. Is the NFC also part of the cover? Anyway, if it can be done it probably will but I'd be concerned over the quality of the battery if the whole package doesn't cost quite a bit.

Here is the idea:
preserve the original cover, just add a "bridge" between the main body of the phone and the cover, like an inner case-juicer
I think if the Nexus5 could reach the shipping goals of S3/4 or iPhones......for sure someone would start manufacturing this kind of product
but actually the engineering is to expensive compared the market size

Read somewhere that the name of the item is misleading. It's not 3000mah.

Battery Case recommendations

Hey everyone. I have seen countless threads for the Nexus 5 Battery cases.
Just wondering if anyone has tried this:
http://m.ebay.com.au/itm/251631021161?nav=SEARCH
Want to know if its worth it? Also, i have heard good things about the i-Blasin battery case and ZeroLemon ones.
Any feedback on a really good battety case would be appreciated

I have the Zerolemon, it arrived today. I can't comment on battery life yet but I'm very pleased with the case itself. It is particularly bulky but I prefer this to the bare phone, which i find far too slim. The extra size hasn't impeded on "thumb-reachability", I can still use it entirely one handed - in fact it sits far better in my hand as it actually has some weight to it and enough device to grip properly.
The built in screen protector does its job although I'll likely replace it with an adhesive glass one in the future, it's a bit naff. Buttons all work well, as does the camera flash - doesn't seem to impede image quality when it's used.
The belt clip I'll never use, and it's useless as a kickstand as the clip itself holds it at terrible angles. Could be repurposed as a car mount though without much trouble.

The belt clip I'll never use, and it's useless as a kickstand as the clip itself holds it at terrible angles. Could be repurposed as a car mount though without much trouble.

Can I ask where you purchased the zerolemon battery case from? The case with the battery is not available on Amazon or anywhere else online.

On Amazon. This is the exact product link I bought, but the spec and picture have now changed (my case is black, plus I have the battery) It was $39.99 before shipping.

If it helps at all, the LG G2 battery they do should fit fine, albeit you'd need to buy the case separately.

I use the Spigen slim armor and its great

Since when is the slim armour a battery case?

Any feedback on a really good battety case would be appreciated

Did you end up trying the eBay one?

I've ordered the exact external battery case as shown.. Charging full for the 1st time now.. Looking good so far. No complains except the slow charging..

zerolemon urgent help needed!
I just bought a zerolemon extended battery for my nexus 5, but i dont know how to use it beside that ive charged it gor 12 hrs for initial use and it got over in just one day!
Maybe i didnt use it efficiently or any other issue,
If anyone has it please advice me how to use it effeciently!
Thanks!

Maybe users with external battery cases can share how they use their battery cases..

Is the zerolemon customber service good or they don't answer?

Is this any good? -> http://www.ebay.com/itm/3800mA-Exte...18?pt=LH_DefaultDomain_15&hash=item566ddadaa2
Price is good and installation seems easy.

Tommy this thing seems good but shouldn't a battery of 3800 mAh give your nexus a charge more than once? As nexus built in battery is 2300 mAh?
I am using zerolemon extended battery of 3500 mAh but it doesn't give me one complete charge though, but still its handy while you are travelling..
But the zerolemon is very bulky with 100% protection, this thing isn't bulky but as they claim its optimal protection, so my opinion is you given it a try, its worth it BUT @ your own risk

So can anyone give any reviews on the zero lemon case? Worth the money or what?

I don't recommend it for continuous use, until and unless you are someone who constantly is in journeys. The battery gives one n a half extra charges to your nexus 5..
I would rather call it an external charger, or a power bank, rather than external battery for nexus 5..
Hopefully I answered your query, there shall be any other query? Feel free to ask..
Thank you!

Why would you not recommend it for daily use? I'm trying to see the pros and cons. This is pretty much the most solid one of all the options we have for the Nexus 5.

I don't recommend it because I've used it, the charging input from the zero lemon to your nexus is weak, it will take 3 hrs to complete, and constant usage at the time of charging heats up not only your device but also the zero lemon battery...
I don't say its bad, but I wasn't satisfied with it, and yes comparatively zero lemon is the best... But ultimately there's no solution to this nexus battery problem..
U can still go for it.. But don't use zerolemon too much, except at the time of necessities..
Anything else?

I carry a vinsic 20000 MA battery and 2metre lead in my backpack. Just pull out as much lead as needed to reach my pocket. Soon charges with 2.1amps and fast charge. Better than a case imo. I use bluetooth adapter for music and calls so the phone stays in the pocket and I can use my Sennheiser cans with no lead.
