I know the stock gsm battery is about 1750, and the extended battery is 2000. So for those who have bought it, is the difference very big? or only about 1 more hour of normal usage?

I would say anywhere from two to three hours. I purchased the Anker 2200 extended batter for my nexus and notice a couple hours extra of battery life. Hope this helps. To me it was worth it to buy the extra battery. Never have to worry about the phone since I always have a spare battery charged.

Where did you find Anker 2200 battery for Gsm version please?
If you search Amazon or eBay for "portable charger" or "portable battery phone charger" you should be able to find a lot of options.
For example, search for "Anker SlimTalk 3200mAh" -- it's a slim portable charger. Or search for the "mophie juice pack reserve micro" -- it's a keychain charger (respectively with a 1000mAh capacity).
With portable chargers you won't have worry about GSM or the Sprint compitability -- you just want to ensure they have a USB port (so you can supply your own micro USB charging cable) or they have a micro USB cable (some have the cables built into the charger itself so you don't have to carry anything).
Hope this helps!
It's way more battery time than people think of just comparing 1750mAh to 2000mAh, mine is doing almost double as long before charging some days with extended!
I got two of these:

And this to charge:

Two extended batteries and the stock battery and I don't worry about power ever again.

I'm looking at buying one of these from ebay, but the ones on ebay just have the battery and the back case. So how are y'all charging it? Just with it inside your phone and using a usb charger or something?
I charge my 3500 mAh battery inside the phone and the stock battery in an external charger.
I hope you mean Seido's 3500mAh battery, as I don't know any reliable manufacturer that produces a 3000mAh battery.
In any case, most people probably just charge them in the phone. But external chargers should be available.

I was going to type 3500mah, but at the time of the posting, in the accessories forum there was a post talking about 3000mah...so I thought it was 3000mah.
And also..I thought people said that the Evo wasn't meant to charge a battery of that size, so would that mess up battery life at all?

I havent seen an issue....but I did have to clear the battery stats to get it to charge all the way and get an accurate reading of battery life remaining
I have the 3000mah batteries from ebay. I charge them in my wall charger that I got with my 1500mah batteries, also from ebay.
Seidio 3500mah here , I charge in the phone . I get the initial drop when I unplug in the morning but the battery itself lasts way longer than stock . I dont have an external charger
how much size is added to the phone with this battery? I checked it out on youtube, but it made the phone look way to huge, bigger than i think the battery makes it...i distrust the videos because some videos with an Evo with a regular battery makes it look like its a toothpick...
I love my 3000mah ebay battery, and the ebay door looks much better than the seidio door. I get great battery life out of it, around 3 times as long as the stock battey. I charge it in the phone occasionaly(and wipe battery stats), but I get better life when using an external charger. For this I use my dock with the extra battery slot on the backside. My solo external battery charger does not charge as well as my dock. I just made a thread about it on PPCG and AndroidForums.
I, like many of you, have been looking for ways to extend the battery life on the galaxy nexus. The particular route I have taken was to purchase some after market batteries off eBay. The intention was to purchase extra batteries and always have 1-2 fully charged ready to use when I'm out or when I'm planning to use the hotspot function extensively.
I hope by sharing my experience it helps at least some of you in choosing the right option. I will be updating this thread over the next week or so.
So here we go.
Capacity: 1900mAh
Brand: Unbranded
eBay item title: 2X 1900mAh Battery + Home Charger for Google Samsung Galaxy Nexus Prime I9250
Cost: $10 for 2 batteries and 1 charger
I have no relation to the seller, and to avoid any reasonable doubt, I'm not including any links to the item. You are free to buy or not from any sellers online.
The batteries came nicely packaged. The batteries fit perfectly into my i9250, standard cover, no modifications needed.
The charger is the slow type (i.e. overnight charger), and I had to leave the batteries in it for 5+ hours to reach full charge. This is a plus (to me) since slow charging is more gentle on batteries, but it does mean that you will probably want two chargers so the batteries can be charged in parallel if you are a heavy user.
Batteries didn't heat up noticeably during the charge.
After charging completed, I placed it in the phone and it showed 100% charge for 30+ minutes.
I have had it in the phone for four hours and with fairly heavy usage it's now down to 86%. For some reason my stock battery never seem to do this well, I would have been down to ~70% by now normally.
Update 1: I have used the batteries in a normal work day and here are the findings.
Aftermarket Battery 1: uptime 14 hours from 100% to 14%
Aftermarket Battery 2: uptime 10.5 hours from 100% to 16%
All in all I'm pretty happy with the results given the price and the fact that screen time was >5 hours in both cases, and that the OEM batteries performed similarly.
Update 2:
OEM battery: uptime 13.9 hours from 100% to 13%
So I guess that's it for now. These aftermarket batteries do seem to perform similarity to the OEM stock battery (sans NFC). I'd definitely recommend them, as personally I prefer carrying an extra battery over purchasing an extended one since it does add bulk and heft, and doesn't really double the run time unless you go for the 3500mAh category which is even bigger.
Feel free to ask me any questions, I will try my best to answer them here.
Great review, thanks.
This review was the decider for me whether or not I wait for the 2012 phones to come out, or get the galaxy nexus early - GN won hands down. I am about to order the same batteries from China; they're a lot cheaper than what my service provider has to offer!
They are indeed a good deal. Just one thing that I want to re-emphasize - NFC is not supported with these batteries.
I'm fine with this as Google Wallet is not available in Canada, but it is something you may want to consider.
I just got this charger and battery kit. USB charging on the charger is a nice addition. I'm testing these batteries now, but plan on only using them in an emergency, so it's a great deal.

To the op: how many times did you cycle the batteries to get those numbers? I've cycled each of the two twice and I'm getting terrible life... 2h screen time and 5h total use. My oem battery gets at least double that

EP2008,
After I received the batteries I just charged it using the supplied charger until the light turned blue. I didn't power cycle the battery or do anything special.
Let me re-run the tests again and see how they compare now.
5 hours total run time does seem very short.
I was running AOKP before and running LiquidSmooth + Franco kernel now, but I guess as long as we use the Samsung OEM battery as control it shouldn't matter.
Will report back in a few days.
ignign0kt, no I don't have this battery, but I'd be interested in a review as well.
I have purchased these same type of batteries for my vibrant and they were great. About same runtime as stock battery and I would carry 2 or 3 around with me at all times. They seemed to work a little better after a few full charge cycles. Only thing is they do not last as long as the OEM battery as far as the number of recharges. That being said I got around 9 months of daily charges out of them and by that time they start to get a little beat up and worn from hanging out in my pocket all that time any way. So I think its well worth it.... $10 every 6 months to a year I think is better than $80 for a 3500mAh battery to me. I never keep a phone more than 2 years so I might have $30 tied up in batteries over that time. And having 3 batteries to swap out I can easily make it over 24 hours away from an outlet.
I will be buying these soon for my GN. I just got it last friday so still breaking in the oem battery and will see how many "spares" I will need to buy for it in the next couple weeks.
So I cycled the batteries a few times and they are better, but still not close to three performance I get from the stock battery. I'm not to bothered by i though as these are really only for an emergency and would be rarely needed.

Thanks, as I'd personally like to see how the battery performs. I have heard of people purchasing larger batteries and have actually received worse results than the stock battery offers, which is rather odd in my opinion. But, from what I have read, Anker produce some quality products so I have high hopes for this battery. I'd ideally like an even larger battery, but then the added weight becomes ridiculous or pricing becomes too much for me to afford.
I've had Anker batteries for other devices and they've been ace, not got round to ordering one for the Note myself yet, but I will do.

Wasn't there a 5400Mah battery by Mugen or someone? Also, how does the battery you mentioned above perform as it seems suspiciously cheap?

I don't trust about other internal battery. I use external battery in other case. While my life battery is 20 hours in 3g.
I have the Mugen 5400 battery and I truly cannot fault it. More than double the capacity of stock and it shows in my daily usage. Build quality also to notch. Yes their prices are steep but you get what you pay for and their customer service is excellent.

I bought 2 for a total of $16 and they work great. I also bought a 3 dollar charger (800mah) that charges them in a about six hours. The ankers charge fine inthe phone an have all the attributes of the oem battery
I've been using Anker batteries for about 3 weeks now and they work great. They last just slightly longer than the stock battery and charge efficiently. I would recommend them to people that are always on the go and can't always get a place to charge their phones. I charge one battery by itself and one in the phone at night, and the next day I am able to swap when the first battery drains. Also there's a peace of mind with having a fully-charged battery always available.

the Samsung battery charger is made to charge the Samsung battery so iirc it won't charge foreign batteries like the anker.

so the other guy who said that the samsung charger won't charge anker batteries was lying.
i don't have a samsung charger, and my anker batteries only came in the mail today so i was just going by what some other dude wrote on one of the many battery threads... :S
Hi everybody,
I have been searching for this Anker battery on German Amazon, and I have found out that there is a 2800mah Anker battery for this phone. Stock size.
You can see the link here
It's not much more expensive, and if it really was a 2800mah battery than it would be great.
Does anyone know anything about it? Do you think it's just a 2700mah one with a fake sticker on it?
Let me know your thoughts.
I got the 2700mAH battery from Amazon. So far it has been slightly better capacity than the original and no problems. Good value at £7.99.
I recently bought a 2100mah battery and charger set off ebay for $8. Has anybody tried it yet? link
Its mainly just so I can have a backup battery and external charger but if it does last longer than stock battery that would be a nice bonus.
Edit: So this battery and charger came in a few weeks ago and both are working great. The battery life seems very similar to stock so I bet the actual capacity is around 1800. The charger works well, has a light that shows full charge and has a usb port on bottom for charging phone too. For my purposes I'm happy with this for now.
Edit2: After a few more weeks of occasional use this battery is definitely lower capacity than stock. My guess is around 1500 but no issues otherwise. The charger is working great though. Its nice to be able to charge battery out of phone and just pop in an extra battery in the meantime.

Here's my thoughts:
It's $8 for a 300 mAh upgrade. Plus, its in Hong Kong, so I don't know how quick it would ship. (Assuming you live where I do, in the United States.)
2300 mAh upgrade from stock. $20.
If you do the math, the second one is a way better deal.
http://www.amazon.com/QCell-Samsung-4100mAh-Extended-Compatible/dp/B006TQOJXI`
Yeah I agree big battery is a better deal, but I don't want a fat case and a heavy phone. This is a spare battery and charger in my laptop bag in case I need it. Its been a week already so it should arrive within the next few days. I will post some info when it arrives.
Just so you know you get what your paying for. So if this cheap battery fries your phone your out of luck with any warranties.
Ps. Don't use cheap batteries they don't have the same safe internals as oem batteries!

I have yet to find a battery that is extended life and same size as stock that works as advertised. Usually after a week or two they last as long as OEM batteries do. I even read a whole article a few months ago about it and it seems they're all crap after checking voltage throughout a month span.

Hyperion extended battery for Galaxy s3
I have purchased a Hyperion 4000mah extended battery for the GSIII and I justed received it today. It is the second I purchase with the original being for my Droid Charge and I never had trouble including for the charge the longest it lasted me was 26hrs on a single charge it's the longest I remember and it was the second charge. The important thing is you must follow the instructions, when you first receive it put it on and use it with the charge the battery already has until it completely drains and then charge it for a full 12 hours. For five consecutive times use it til it completely drains and unplug when it reaches a hundred percent and it will last you for a very long time. So far for my extended battery received today it had 67% right out of the package and it has been in use for 8hrs with my wifi on and used moderately and still has 31% power. One more thing, they come with a back cover for the battery and the battery is actually 4200mah 19.99 plus 5.58 shipping and it ships free if you spend and extra 5 bucks on something else. Good luck.
