Extra Battery/On the go charger?

Hey guys,
After having my Galaxy Nexus for little over a week, the battery is starting to worry me. I don't think the battery would ever last me one full day with heavy usage and I was wondering, do you guys know of a website or a retailer that sells an extended battery/extra battery or on the go charger for the Galaxy Nexus? I'm probably going out for the holidays and I don't want the battery to die on me.
I am using the GSM variant of the Galaxy Nexus from Bell on Android Revolution HD (though I did notice the same battery life on the stock rom :/)
Also, on a side note, does anyone have a good site to get a USB otg adapter or a MHL-HDMI cable/adapter for a good price?
Note: I'd prefer not buying from Ebay, as I have had bad experiences in the past. Something like Amazon would be preferred.
Thanks,
Mosh

if your using the gsm gnex i would get the gnex carcharger from vzw, it charges the phone really fast(like the home charger) until you can find a gsm extended battery online or something

I'd go nuts having to constantly swap out my batteries to charge them at the end of the day. Get the charger.

Monoprice is a good place for cables. Power sources though are kind of meh.

I've got a spare battery and the factory stand that can charge the extra battery without it being in the phone on order. Not sure when they'll reach my shores but apparently "not too far away". I'm sure you could find a supplier where ever you are. IMO they were reasonably priced for genuine accessories

Thanks for the replies guys! I don't think I can get a charger from Verizon and it would probably be expensive. Oh, and just to confirm, by charger you mean on the go (without an outlet)?
EDIT: Also, do you guys know of any good websites in Canada?
EDIT2: Amazon is preferable!

Been trawling the interwebs for an extended battery for gsm (like the gs2 one), If anyone comes across anything please post

Extended battery is still on sale for $24.99 I just ordered mine last night. Click the link and add to cart and it will price drop to $24.99.
Enjoy.
I'll let you know how much extra battery it actually gives once I get it but its supposed to help.
I would post the link but since I'm still so new it will not let me but just go to Verizonwireless and find it under the accessories. The Retail stores are doing the same deal as well.

Did you order from Verizon? Or from the link posted above?

I ordered directly from verizon, get free 2 day shipping as well. Its a actual bigger battery with new backplate to fit it directly onto the phone, so other then that you don't really even know you have the extended battery. I will know once it comes it how much bigger it makes the phone but I've heard its pretty minimal on the look of it. I don't know if this supports the GSM model since I am on Verizon and have the LTE/CDMA phone.

i got my car charger from expansys when i ordered the phone

Can anyone confirm that this will work? : http://www.amazon.com/PowerGen-Ultr..._1_6?s=wireless&ie=UTF8&qid=1324279677&sr=1-6

VZW Extended Battery, STILL 1/2 OFF!

SOOO I went onto verizonwireless.com to check out the galaxy nexus accessories. I filterd by batteries only to find that they dont have the extended battery, bummer.
WELLLL apparently thats not true. If you use thier search and just search "Galaxy Nexus Extended Battery" its the first item that shows up. It comes with the battery and the cover for a cool $25.
No idea as to why they hid it like that but if you are still looking to pick it up, thats a good deal

Hm ......... Going to have to think about this.

OEM Battery

I'm looking for a spare battery and came up with this on ebay. It looks like it's OEM one with NFC function, but the price is too good to be true, cuz there are some seller priced it around $30, which makes more sense.
ebay.com/itm/New-Battery-for-EB-L1G6LLU-Samsung-Galaxy-S-III-S3-i9300-2100mAh-/140785352440?pt=PDA_Accessories&hash=item20c775fef8

Amazon has third party seller for the oem w nfc for 30 also.

http://www.ebay.com/itm/27100367050...NX:IT&_trksid=p3984.m1497.l2649#ht_827wt_1396
2 batteries plus an external charger for them for $18. It says OEM with NFC, but we'll see. I'm not sure how much I'll use the NFC feature anyway, but I'm hoping this is what it says it is.

It looks like the OEM but I dont see NFC anywhere.

Tempting due to the claim of OEM. Any bets on them being counterfit? Note the seller also offers a 2500mAh "compatible" version.

I emailed the guy. It has no NFC antennae, those are extra lol oh well I just need backup battery untill OEM price comes down.

So it's not really OEM then is it? Don't the OEM ones come with the NFC built in?

Sadly, how can it be an OEM battery for the SGS3 without the antenna?
Does anyone have the P/N off of an original US version of the battery? I'm still waiting for mine. I contacted Anker about when they will stock one and they asked for the P/N. I've had great success with the Anker batteries in my Touch Pro 2 (on Sprint) which is what I'm upgrading from.

How can you tell if a battery has the NFC? Aside from the markings on it.

I had ordered this: http://www.ebay.com/itm/16082851278...NX:IT&_trksid=p3984.m1439.l2649#ht_738wt_1396

from : favorite444
Received it today. Looks like OEM, slightly different markings but says 2100mah and says Near Field Communications on it. It's charging up right now so I'll report back if NFC is actually working.

Grr, no NFC...what bs. Why the heck would it say NFC if there is no NFC. Will reach out to seller to get some kind of credit (not sending this **** back to china). I guess its OK as a replacement battery, but I have NFC tags that I'm using.

Emailed the guy and got a full refund! He even said not to return the battery.

Congrats! May I ask if you are using a US phone? I'd like to know if these batteries work in the US releases of the S3.

Yup, ATT phone. Battery worked, just not NFC.

I looked through the menus....did not find anything. Anyone know?

Thanks and good luck. I'll be ordering, too.

Will all 9300 batteries and accessories work for the ATT variant? I was thinking they were different batteries for some reason.

Difference in performance between OEM 3.8v and third-party 3.7v?
I've seen several third-party batteries, but none are 3.8v. I was wondering if there is a notable difference in performance between the different voltages or not. Thanks

Verizon 2100mah extended battery include NFC?

I had to buy the extended battery for my GNex replacement since it was my 2nd upgrade phone due to issues and I'm wondering does the extended battery have an NFC chip in it or what? I'm going to be really pissed if it doesn't have it and need to buy one that does have an NFC chip in it. I bought it from Verizon in store.

It has NFC

Yes it has it....pretty sure the box mine came in said extended battery w/ NFC chip. Could have been wrong...but pretty sure the box says it right on front.

Box never mentioned NFC on it and the back was a PITA to get on so I don't want to take it off to check the battery to see if it said it. I swear, that back cover came with a few bent pins right out of the box and made for a really hard time getting it installed perfectly.

As mentioned, it does have it. If the extended battery cover is a pain, put the stock one back on. That's what im using with the extended battery.

They just sent me the phone itself, no battery or cover. Had to buy the extended battery and cover.

I think the nfc is in the phone, the battery has to have the antenna

Battery Storage Case Anyone?

Hi folks,
I am in desperate need of a battery case that I can put the size of the SII battery into. I recently purchased the Samsung Galaxy Camera which takes the same battery as my Galaxy SII mobile. I've bought a couple of spare batteries as the camera is pretty hungry with power but need a way to safely store the batteries when out and about until needed.
I am contemplating buying a case made for the ipod nano 3rd generation as the batteries as roughly the same size but I would prefer a better solution if anyone has any ideas :good:

what about a wallet case that would work

I have gone for one of these today so just waiting to see if it can hopefully be used for what I am looking for
Cheers for the feedback :good:

i think that is a good choice the back of it seems to be able to store about 2 or 3 batteries

Hope so mate...just waiting on delivery and then time to put it to the test
