$8 3800mAh Battery From Amazon Review - Samsung Galaxy Nexus

Hello xda,
http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0084WZ99S/ref=oh_details_o04_s00_i00
I recently purchased an extended battery from Amazon that only cost 8 bucks. At first I said, who would be stupid enough to put this in their phone? Well, turns out I was wrong.
I bought this battery in hopes that it would bring my 2100mAh battery (the official Samsung extended battery) from a 12 hour day to at least 24 hour day. It did not only do that, but it exceeded that.
First off, my phone is running Vicious's variant of CM10. I'm also running Faux's 19 Kernel and I've under clocked my CPU to 912 mhz. If I REALLY see a difference in the speed, I'll just put it back up to 1.2ghz. I will enclose pictures of the phone day by day of the battery usage and how the phone looks. The phone feels great to me! I'm that kind of weird person who likes to have a bulky device in my hand.
With Amazon Prime, I got the phone shipped to me in 2 days. Freaking awesome for 8 bucks total.
Of course not all can be good with this battery. The back battery door does fit but the color is really off compared to the other backs of the phone. Just looks a little weird but I'm use to it.
Typing on the phone does take some getting use to as its a whole lot bigger but that can be expected with any battery of its size.
Below I will be attaching pictures of what the phone looks like with the battery on and my daily usage.

I won't be able to link until I get 10 post so stay updated to the thread.

I'm wanting to see the link too. I'm doing ok with the seido 3800 but honestly I would expect more than I'm seeing.

That's pretty big. But you can't argue with the results. I think I could learn to live with that.

It is not a official Samsung battery so it is very unlikely to have NFC.

whats the screen time? are you using wifi or 3G?

I bought this battery and also the Seidio. Honestly the Seidio does bettery, but this battery did fine also. Well worth a couple of bucks.

i bought 3800mAh battery from ebay. shiped from china. looks allmost the same, surface is much smoother and color fits with phone 95%. Im using jro03c build 4.1.1 google sctock android. 3g turned off, wifi 24/7 on. at this moment battery stats:
64% discharging
3d 8h 0min 13s on battery
phone idle 38%
cell standby 20%
screen 17% (time1h 25m 17s)
voice calls 16% (time 1h 42m 49s)

ebay shows 3500mAh but they send me 3800mAh, or is it just the sticker that says so anyway it beats oem 1750mAh faaaar long.

For all you wondering, NO NFC.

I use my phone naked. I think with an extended battery AND a case, I'd probably kill my self. It already makes the device thick enough and I'm not worried about dropping my device. I take good care of my baby

A 3800mah (no NFC) battery came with my most recent Galaxy Nexus. After watching 1 hour of the Google I/O YouTube video, it used 10% of the battery. So, 10 hours of YouTube on a charge.

Eh, YouTube videos drain my battery really quickly and I just prefer watching YouTube videos on my Mac or PC anyway

I was right about to checkout, when I noticed that it said its for verizon only. I was excited to buy it for only 8 dollars

Wait a minute, verizon back covers and batteries do fit on the gsm one am i right?
Someone please confirm if it will work for gsm. Thanks

Extended Battery - Pretty Good Deal

I just ordered this off Amazon.
Seems like a good deal, and hopefully will cure the terrible battery issues I've been having.

I thought about that too, but with the problems I'm having, and all the different configs I've tried, my battery gets worse and worse, so I think it may be shot. Even if this is as good as a stock battery, it's cheaper than buying one from Sprint and could potentially be better than a stock.

i just returned the seidio 1750 mah battery, didn't make my battery last that much longer, at most i got an extra 3 hours. Also considering the 3500mah seidio was only a few bucks more, i decided to get that instead.
I don't know how many of you guys are from the MD area but there's a store in the local mall in Anne Arundel and they have or can get about any size/manufacturer battery. Its Cyberion I think, anyway good service reasonable prices and if I have issues I have an actual retailer to deal with. Ive been burned on line too many times I like having a person to deal with when issues or if issues come up.

Not worth it. Just buy two OEM batteries...
I don't believe in aftermarket batteries from my many experiences of it messing up my phone...it has to do something with the inconsistency of the voltage. That's just me though...
If there is a good reliable aftermarket battery out there I'm open to check it out....
I ordered one should get it by monday the 6th. will test it out and reply with results it was only 20 bucks so my hopes are low but we will see how it turns out
Its be great if this actually worked...especially the slim

stop buying from a non-reputable company...seido or mugen has been doing this for a long time and their product works.
Ehhh been trying this 3650 QCell battery now nothing great this is moderate to heavy usage
Sent from the iPhone° killer
should be not bad given at this price range.
My friend got one of these. Its the same as the 12 dollar GTMax's, no diff from stock really.
Mugen batteries are probably worth the investment if you use your phone that heavily.
that's odd, cuz i got the qcell galaxy nexus one and also a gtmax version. the qcell one last longer than the gtmax one. perhaps it's luck of the draw. I'm going to give this one a try and see how it is
What is your conclusion after using that battery for a month? Is it better that stock one or worse?

I was actually considering to buy this ... but now I think it's not worth it.
I have also ordered one of these and i should have it on the 16th. I am new to xda so my opinion may be shrugged off but i have had my fair share of ext batteries. When i test this battery out i will post my results. I consider myself a power user so you will have results based on heavy use.

experience with qcell 3650mAh
I tried this battery out for about 3 weeks and did get noticbly longer battery life about 23 hours+ with heavy to moderate usage so IMO it was worth it ($10) altough i hated the extended battery cover the battery did keep my phone on relatively longer. only issue after about a month I cant charge the battery with my cable anymore, not sure if its the cable or not so im back to stock.
Extended battery 23-25 hours of heavy usage
Stock battery 12-15 hours of heavy usage
Hope this helps Hit thanks if if does

Here is my update on this Qcell battery from Amazon I have been texting and browsing the web and playing crime city pretty heavily and have gotten fantastic results from this battery. I am using the juggernaut 5.0 ROM and have no complaints about it yet. Does not get excessively hot while chafing using the OEM cord that came with my galaxy s2. Hopefully I answered some of your questions everyone have a good weekend!

I've been using mine for a month or so.. Theoretically you should get about 20% more battery.
Tbh I don't notice much difference. But always nice to have a spare battery.
I have been using the original extended battery kit and i get easily an extra of 1 hour of screen time. It's just perfect.
Only one hour ?????
Sent from my GT-I9100 using XDA Premium App
not much different for me.. 10%-20% xtra.. heavy user here..
I've been using my 2000MAh batter for the last week and it's awesome.
On light days where I don't do much on my phone, I get about just over 2 days of battery.
On heavy days, I usually get enough to carry me to the evening with about 20% left, which is better than the previous 5% with the stock.
People must get crazy battery with 3500MAh batteries, but it probably ruins the aesthetics of the phone.

I use the stock 2000mah battery. I can get about 4hrs on average of screen on time with CM9 or stock ICS(mostly using wifi, but 3g is on when I go out). If i don't use it much, easy 1.5 days with about 1.5 hrs screen on time. This battery provide enough power for me to get through one day. I have a habit of charging before I go sleep. So after I use this 2000mah, I no longer worry about battery in the evening.

Thank you guys for good explanation and nice pictures. Now i know what i'm going to buy
I think it's almost mandatory to have the original 2000mAh battery of this phone.
With it on and a good value for the rom got a good life.

1.5 hour battery life

Battery life goes down 1% every minute the screen is on... This is rediculous. I'm running the latest franco kernel + liquid rom.
Uhhh cool story? Use your phone an entire day and post your battery stats when you're at < 5% battery left. Then we can talk about your actual battery life...
Let me bite this troll bait.
I'm sure this phone doesn't last 1.5hours, i'm sure mine doesn't.
@OP that's prolly why the guy sold it
good day.
You should be getting around 4 hours of screen on time, try different kernels if you don't achieve near this. I get 5+ hours everyday usign my set up, just look around at countless other thread to get an idea of what you can do.

Which kernels besides franco give good battery life?
If you're getting 1.5 hours battery life then you're NOT using your phone, period. This is a smart phone, if you can manager more than 1 hour then you probably should have kept your StarTAC.
Edit: read a few more posts, wasn't troll bait it turns out.
As someone mentioned earlier in the thread, wakelocks are one avenue to explore. Install Better Battery Stats and follow the instructions/procedures, etc... from its thread here on XDA.

If you are on 3g/4g and a verizon nexus on stock battery...2 hrs screen time is normal. Get used to it. Sorry. My wife's on stock 4.0.2 does exactly that. Pathetic. We bought an extended battery. Still might get in the 4 hour range. I love the nexus but damn the battery is terrible. I get 6-7 hrs screen on time on my maxx using 3g/4g. Today she got close to 4 hrs but it was a 4g/Wi-Fi mix.
Verizon nexus on 3g gets around 2 hrs screen on time if you actually are using data and keeping everything synced like a smartphone should be able to do.

Gsm gnex (europe) on 4.0.4 gives between 4-5 h screen-ON time on stock setup and 1750mAh battery. Way to go verizon and LTE for ruining the phone's reputation. Most of the people reporting issues here on the forums are verizon or sprint users.

Today I received the following battery from eBay:

}
Long story short: It really seemed fishy at first, then I had used the battery for 11+ hours and battery life is at 33% atm :good:
I watched youtube vids for at least half an hour, played real racing for an hour and every often I kept on browsing the web. Battery is AWESOME and looks like it really is 1950mAh. My brand new Samsung original battery lasts shorter than this battery
The battery comes in a nice bubble wrap with a good quality sticker protecting the battery pins. Really can not understand still how something like this can be this high quality yet this inexpensive. Gives my $29.99 Original battery a HUGE run for its money
Get yours here for $3--> http://www.ebay.ca/itm/251307473117?ssPageName=STRK:MEWNX:IT&_trksid=p3984.m1497.l2649

Hey. The battery works like a dream
2 weeks and no problems getting 8-12 hours with some youtubing and gaming. Using JellyBam 10.1, it took 3 weeks to come to canada

Hey, compared to the original1650mah battery from Samsung, this seems to last about 1 hour or 2 more. I am using the battery at the moment

Then it seems that 1950mah is only sticker on it, 1-2h difference is coming from that the original battery you had is old and new one is just fresh...

Used this battery for almost 2 weeks, so far so good. :good:
thanx for the info on the battery.. will get one for me and one for my wife..
i bought this battery a month ago nothing special
just a cheap second battery and in no way 1950 mah
don't get me wrong for 3 euro it is awesome
The only fear is from explosion or something like that with replaced battery.
Just bought 2 from a seller on fleabay uk at £3 each, difference is mine dont have the samsung brand but instead have smaller "For Galaxy S2" printed on both sides, maybe samsung is finally doing something about all the fake sammy batteries being sold and genuine buyers getting stung, i fully understand that oem batteries are in most cases cheaper and can be as good as the original but if it says samsung it should mean genuine samsung and not have a half truth half way down a sellers listing saying packed in bubble wrap not a genuine product and no mention of any warranty whatsoever, still fleabay wont enforce the "genuine non genuine" listings because they claim they cannot police every seller !doesnt stop them taking their fees from every seller though.
haha awesome
yap, its cheap ,
I buy some different brand for S2,
but stock bat. usually have more cycle life than other :cyclops:
Huh! Going to order this..
