Anyone try this battery???

I know the Siedio is the way to go, but my dad is thinking of getting this battery and back..
Honestly I like the look of this back MUCH MORE than the Siedio, but don't know about the quality of the battery..

3500mAh extended battery, thats the best you can get at the moment, and let me tell you, this battery and a good kernel and/or battery tweak will keep you going for more then a good day!
Recommend a 3500mAh battery. you'll be amazed

I have both batteries. I also like the back on the ebay battery better, but it will not fit in the seidio car dock. I've noticed no difference between the two batteries.

Yea it does look MUCH better than the Siedio style.. I don't know why Siedio didn't make their back like this one.. But I am going to be ordering two of them from this guy (Guy is located in USA too, not CHINA)
I'll post back here with some reviews and pictures..
It looks like the fit of the cover is good, what about the materiel for the cover? I see so many that looks like CHEAP PLASTIC, how does this one feel? Like the rubbery feeling of the stock one?
THANKS

[Q] Yet another battery thread

Ok, i believe that i read some time back that you could use a touch pro 2 battery in the evo. correct me if im wrong, but if the stock battery that we use is as true to 1500mah, wouldnt the HTC manufactured 2150 mah be one of the best extended batteries to buy? I have found a couple for sale, and wanted to be sure that the touch pro 2 battery does in fact work in our evo. thanks and sorry for yet another battery post.

Here is the amazon link to the batteries. I know they wont fit under our stock door but for 10 slices of paper from my wallet plus the addition of having to buy another stock evo battery cover to modify to fit this battery, I feel like this isn't a bad deal considering the price. I should get the battery sometime around Friday or Monday of next week. Will post pics of said modification and results as soon as possible.

there are "3500" mAh batteries available for under $10 too. I believe they are closer to 2800. I've found the yoobao 3000mah batteries to be the best, got mine for 20 shipped.
and yes, the tp2 will work in an evo. you aren't going to be able to mod the stock cover to fit that. just buy an extended cover, you can get them with the battery for about 8.

Well I'm gonna hack up my old battery Cover so the battery will stick through. I have one of those crystal gel cases that will hold the battery in place, I just want the cover there to act as a speaker cover. The extended covers make the phone too large. I think this will keep the phone slim it will only be slightly thicker than it is now. I have come up with a couple of designs as well that allow me to use the stock battery door and hold the battery in place without my case. Like I stated in my earlier post, I'll post up the concept and see what ppl think. I just wish they made a battery cover that went around the battery and not make the entire back bubble out.

Check out the Mugen 4500 mah battery if you will be hacking up your back cover... I think there is a thread that has info for it.. Search

Gimme a week and ill post what im doing. Lol i still wanna keep the phone slim for the most part, so no 3500 or 4500 mah batteries

I'm loving my Yoobao 3000mah battery. With medium use, overclocking and custom kernel, I get about 36 hours out of my phone. Well 28-29 not counting sleep time.

verdict 2150mha touch pro 2 battery DOES NOT WORK!!!! Repeat DOES NOT WORK! So i bought a sedio 3500 battery and fell in love with that instead!

Love the Innocell 1750mAh extended battery

I purchased the "Innocell 1750mAh Slim Extended Life Battery" from Seidio online.
I was getting just enough from the stock battery to get me through until I went to bed and put my inc2 on the charger.
Now I can go a day and a half before I need to charge!
All this and it fits with the stock cover. Definitely worth the 45 dollars!
Just me 2c

seidio is the way to go. my 1750 should be coming today!

you will love it!!
Give it a couple of full charges... before you start getting the full advantage of batt.

I hated the ones I got for my Inc1. Lasted just as long as stock battery and that wasn't worth $45. I traded it out twice thinking it was maybe a bad battery. Same problem even after waiting a couple days of use. Sold it to my friend and he hates it. Best battery I bought was the 1600mah oem TP2 HTC battery from ebay for $5. Lasted two days on that thing plus it was OEM. I'll consider Seidio again but I wasn't happy the first time around.

Agreed. Typically third party batteries (including Seidio) have exaggerated mah ratings. The batteries that are marketed as being extended batteries might have a little more juice, but not nearly as much as the rating indicates. They often tend to wear out much quicker.
Glad this one seems to be working for the OP though. Perhaps this one is different than most of the rest.

Yes it'd be great if it did. I wish someone knew of an OEM HTC battery with a higher capacity that would fit our phones. Even if it's from another model

Just ordered one.

I bought 1800mah Mugen Power instead, heard good things about their battery, it's slim so I don't have to use different back cover. still waiting for mine.

Love my Mugen slim extended, definitely significant more life out of it over stock

I have the Mugen also; I tried the Seidio 1750 w/my DInc1 and while it was an improvement over the stock battery it did not perform well over time. I've had the Mugen for ~3 weeks now and am quite happy with it...I hope I can say the same thing in a few more months.

Do you think those cheapies on eBay are worth it? Could they damage my phone? 3500 with extended cover for $11...

That's for the Droid Incredible 1, not the Droid Incredible 2. They are not compatible unfortunately. They won't fit.

I've gone through a lot of batteries for my Inc1 and best results come from the OEM batteries.
Ordered a lot off eBay and only seller bidallies sold legit OEM. The generic work but lose capacity over a few weeks and are off on the ratings, Seidio is good but barely better than stock and not worth the $$$ on the original Inc. I'll be trying a Mugen next.
So I recommend saving the money you'd waste on the junk batteries and buy a good one that'll last.

True that. I purchased several junk batteries before getting the Seidio 3500 mah battery. So much better than the other "high capacity" batteries.

Yeah I'd like to keep stock back cover. Like I mentioned with the Inc1, the HTC Touch Pro 2 battery fits fine and it was a 1600mah while the stock Inc1 battery was (in HTCs infinite wisdom) a 1300mah. Fit snug but still fit under stock battery cover and gave extra few hours of life.

Save the money and just order a couple original stock ones on eBay for $10 a pop.
Don't need to go into details about how your paying for a placebo affect. I made the mistake. Never again.
Absolute ripoff.

So what is the best one for a stack cover? I would like to use the stock cover because of my otter box. I am assuming with the extended cover my otter box will not fit.?.

Smaller extended battery?(2100mah < x > 3800mah)

Hi,
Has anyone come across a smaller extended battery for the Galaxy Nexus? I want an in-between battery size! I have the seidio 3800mah battery and it functions great but looks like crap! I have the 2100 mah battery and it is ok but I want a few extra hours without sacrificing functionality (IE:using juice defender) The battery door is ugly and poorly designed on the 3800 mah battery in my opinion. What I am looking for is a 2500mah -2900mah battery that has a more svelte battery door keeping the aesthetics of the phone intact. Anyone come across anything like I am describing? I'd even settle for a nicer battery door on the seidio battery.
Edit: title should read "Smaller extended battery?(2100mah > x < 3800mah)"

I've never seen one personally.

I have nothing to offer in terms of an answer, but that's still wrong - it should read "2100mah < x < 3800mah".

The Seidio battery door is hideous in my opinion. It is a black rubber like material with a matte finish which doesn't match the phone at all. Also, the hump and curve of the battery door seem unnecessarily big. I feel like it could be designed better.
The Q-Cell battery looks interesting because their battery door is supposed to mimic the original with hyperskin texture and color. I wonder how it looks and feels up close. Even though it it 20 bucks I won't spring for it because I would essentially be paying for just the door. I don't need the battery just the door. I'll keep trolling amazon and ebay for something.
Not as important as either a math teacher or an engineer.
Financial Controller

The 3800mAh that QCell offers is a great bang for your buck. For those wondering, the back cover has a little bit more grain/texture to it than the original GNex's. It does look very similar. Definitely worth it if you're looking to keep the stock look, but with a larger capacity batter.

I liked how seidio had extended batteries for my blackberry that fit under the standard door. This should apply for the gnex!

Official VZW extended battery w/ stock cover

Hey all,
I have the VZW GNexus, and I'm thinking about buying the 2100mAh battery for a bit more battery life out of it. I already have two portable chargers(one 6000mAh, another 3000mAh. What? I don't like running out of power. ), but I'd like to be able to last just a bit longer before needing to charge. Now, the problem is, I also managed to get my hands on the special back cover with the design that was given out to Google employees during Christmas 2012, and I'd hate to have to get rid of it. Could anyone with the official extended battery tell me if the stock cover will fit with the extended battery in?
Thanks!

it might, i think i accidentally put it on mine when i first got it but something didnt look right or fit right.

Mine fits perfect. I actually like the feel better.

With the stock cover? That's great to hear!

I have that now kind of, extended battery and stock case, but broke the bottom right clip trying to get it on... It puts stress on the clips for sure, be careful.... Wouldn't wanna hurt that limited edition cover lol
Edit: took the case off that was holding the battery cover on more or less, it stays on now, the broken clip doesn't make it stick out, it's in somehow... But it bulges a little, I don't have another cam to post a pic unfortunately...

The VZW OEM EXT battery works perfect in the OB Commuter with no door. If that is something you are interesting in.
My next project is to dremel the hard plastic on the inside of the Defender to fit one of those fat third party batteries with all that supposed extra juice. I have read guides on how to do this in sub forums for other devices. If all goes well the soft rubber that goes on the outside of the Defender holds in the battery with minimal bulge. Will report back after I attempt this.

I'm not sure how people are saying the stock back fits with the verizon extended battery. I bought the extended vzw battery and backplate when i bought my phone. The original backplate partially snaps on, at the top and bottom of the phone. the sides will not snap shut due to the slight increase in battery thickness.
I also have bought an anker battery (amazon) that is rated at 2200 mah. It is identical in size to the stock 1850 battery and fits perfectly under the original backplate. the downside is that this battery is designed for the tmobile galaxysS2 and does not have the nfc chip (not an issue for me as i do not use it anyway). I will provide the link to the battery below that also includes a wall charger. For 20 dollars you get the two batteries and the wall charger. I'd say the battery life of these ankers are less than the verizon 2100 mah but certainly more than the oem 1850.

tl;dr: the vzw 2100mah will not fit behind stock backplate. these anker ones will and are a good deal.

God I love that Google battery door. Show a pic!
The stock extended battery most certainly fits under the standard battery door. It has a tiny bulge but works fine no mod needed.
