Now that Big Red has killed the Nexus LTE, does anyone have a lead on affordable OEM extended batteries?
I picked one up a year ago and its capacity has dropped below the standard battery.
Found it on Amazon for $35 which seems high. Is there a better deal out there?

VZW was selling them for $50, so $35 is not bad. But I know for a while VZW had them half price for $25, that's when I bought mine.

Right, I bought mine last year from VZW for $25 but they no longer offer it. Shouldn't the price have dropped?

SN: i just got mine in this morning.... gotta love amazon prime!

I also received mine today but sadly am returning it. I have 4 of the cheap HK batteries off ebay that I switch out during the day and was thinking I would just get one of these instead. After getting it, putting it on and seeing the bulk it added and how incredibly hard it was to get the Siedio backplate off again, I am thinking that I am going to just stick with the cheapo HK batteries. I use my phone heavily during the day and one of these batteries usually lasts me until I get home around 5pm. I switch out a fresh one at 5pm and I use it off and on until I go to bed, usually between 9pm-11pm which I leave it in overnight off the charger. In the morning, I switch out a fresh one and off to work and the cycle repeats itself. If I end up getting on a long tech support call with Cisco or another vendor, I always have a freshly charged battery in my pocket as well. Well, since I am done with this wall of text about my battery situation that pretty much has nothing to do with this topic, I will end it now.
Thanks for listening.
Even $50 is a complete ripoff. I have 6 spare batteries, all from ebay that cost less than $50 combined. I don't care that they might not have the advertised capacity, but neither does the seidio (according to battery boss) and guaranteed my two cheap 1800mah batteries will easily outlast the 3500mah seidio one for a fraction of the price. So what if I might have to swap one out at some point during the day? On top of it, they don't need to use that HIDEOUS cover that is required for the Seidio.
I came across this on eBay and I was wondering if these are legit or counterfeit or what...

For the price of two, it's a great deal, but only if they are real Samsung batteries.
Has anyone ordered them?
It say OEM. So I'd assume so, google that model number..return it if it isn't.

Kinda shady
$13.88 for two batteries? I wouldn't risk it. Sure you're spending about $15 for two batteries, but then you might damage your $600 phone. There are other reputable eBay sellers such as shimshop who are selling genuine batteries and other accessories for reasonable prices. Hope this helps.

Yeah, that's my concern, but what makes these different from Mugen or Seidio batteries? I've had back luck with one of those brands and paid a lot more for the batteries from them. If they are real Samsung's, it's a good deal, no? I guess I can always get Samsung to confirm the serial number on the batteries to confirm they are legit, and EBay offers buyer protection if they are fakes.
These would be spares anyways, not everyday use... I would literally charge them and put me in the fridge for when I need them on an extended outing or something.

Difference is the NFC antenna.

These eBay batteries in question have NFC (as they would being OEM). It says so right on the battery itself. I'm talking more about reliability. Are the expensive "brand name" compatible batteries better then "cheapo" eBay ones. And again, these are allegedly original Samsung's.
Now, I did see similar batteries which had the "A" in Samsung reversed so it looks like a "V"... Obviously, those are fakes, but the sellers never claimed them to be originals anyways.

Expansys has them but a tad pricey I think. Anywhere else you guys recommend?

Someone is selling one here on xda for 30 shipped. Good price http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1578472
I just ordered one from ebay from a seller called shimshop. 30 bucks shipped to canada. Looks like a 3 week wait. So 30 bucks appears to be the average.

I got mine from Handtec because Expansys didn't have stock yet. Was worth it to me at the time and was about the same price. If you think $30 is too much, that's what they cost for genuine OEM batteries. Beware the cheap versions on eBay....they're mostly fakes and one seller is charging about the same price.
What's the best way to detect a fake? No NFC support?
You can get anything on Amazon. Why not take a look there?
battery
Try ebay but be careful with the seller. I got a genuine OEM extended battery from ebay sell mulkin.
expansys is the cheapest i found, negri electronics is selling them for $50 bucks
Under $30 too...
Don't know if you have a LTE Verizon GNex but the Verizon extended battery battery adds bulk to the phone and it adds some juice. Only $25 right now on sale. Or it was on sale.

I'm also for extended original, it do add some bulk, but they made it so, that is look in place with the device design, exactly like the one for S2, it just make it flush with the little bump on the back.
I bought the anker batteries on amazon. Two batteries and external charger for $20. Can't beat the price if you can do without nfc.
I know this is the Tab S forum, but not getting much response in the Tab A forum.
Looking for a battery for a Tab A 9.7, I don't t trust the 'GENUINE' Samsung batteries on Ebay.
Has anyone bought an Ebay battery or know of anywhere to get a decent one at a cheap price in the UK?
I just bought a $14 Ebay battery. The first one was DOA and the replacement was junk. They were counterfeits. I ended up buying one on Samsungparts, part # GH43-04211A (TAB S 8.4) and it's now like brand new. The only downside was the cost, $74.40 USD shipped. Considering the fire hazard potential its probably best to get an original battery.

I've bought one e from ebay, apparently they are device pulls and not new.
Seller has 100% feedback, so we'll see.
I scored one for my SM-T700 a while back. So far so good.
