hey guys I recently bought the 3800 onite mah extended battery from amazon. Do you guys have any tips that help calibrate the battery better? thanks. BTW if you guys want a review i can put one up. I absolutely love this case! and I recommend it. It only cost about 10 bucks!
Edit:
anyone have any though about the onite extended battery? any reviews would help!
you want to go to the accessories section if you want information about the battery.
battery calibration has been debunked and doesn't do anything.

Okay, so it looks like im going to have to get an extended battery for this phone like everyone else. Even after a month I dont think it will be too much better on battery life. I wanted to know what is the cheapest slim battery around (dont want extended door or anything). I saw the sedio on amazon for 39 (1750 mah) and a mugen on ebay for 35 (1800 mah), isnt there anything better?
i was thinking to just maybe get 2 1500's with a charger, theyre on ebay for 10.99 shipped
I believe that the Hero battery also fits the EVO. I've got the 2000 mah battery that was posted I think in the hero forums. I believe it ran me about $13 shipped from china. First thing I do tomorrow is pop it into the evo to try it out.

That's what I'm doing. That way I don't have to get an extended door. And I have a hero which uses the same battery. I just charge one in the phone and then charge one in the charger at night. In the morning i put the extra battery into my wallet.

Can you give us a review of this battery? Does it last longer than the OEM? A link to it? Thanks.
I'm waiting for my EVO on the 2nd shipment and I'd also like to know as much as I can about any extended batteries that may work after reading all the reviews...
I'm interested in a second/extended battery as well...the way I'm going to be using this phone, I'll need it!
Heck, what's the best "fat" extended battery? If I need to be out and about then I don't mind trading size for battery life.
The sedio battery on amazon mentions extended battery life in the topic.

well, i posted in another thread but basically i have the seidio 1600mah battery and there's practically no difference in that compared to the stock 1500 battery. that being the case, i highly doubt the 1750 is going to be much of a difference either.
then again, i am a heavy user and can kill my seidio 1600 in just over 2 hours of solid activity.
I post the same question in another forum but I guess nobody haven't try it yet....
I was wondering about this one, or the mytouch 1650. Can people please enlighten us?
From the research I did before buying the VZW extended battery the actual life of the Seidio batteries appears to be less than the stock battery, regardless of the claims.
That being said I do own a Seidio battery but have not noticed an increase in battery life.
My roomate just got this battery so I can ask her if she is noticing a difference. I personally just bought another stock battery and swap out when they die. I can usually go through the whole day if I switch 4g off when I am not using it.
I did however, buy the Seidio battery charger which works great with the stock batteries.

This is what I just did. Got my spare stock battery in the mail today and I plan on swapping the batteries when the other dies and then using the seidio wall charger to keep them both juiced.
I have one of those HongDa Power 3600mAh extended batteries for the Galaxy Nexus GSM... I'm a noob so I can't post a link to it, but they sell them as "hongdapower799" on ebay.
It's a 3600mAh extended battery for the GNex GSM version made by some company in Hong Kong. Battery Monitor Widget Pro estimates it between 2600-2750mAh, which is a nice, big improvement. I definitely notice an increase in life. It sucks that we can't get the Seidio 3800 battery with GSM, but at least we have something.
Does anyone else have one of these? What kinds of estimated mAh values do you get in Battery Monitor Widget?
Oh yeah... Also, has anyone tested this battery out with the Seidio extended Surface case designed for use with their 3800mAh battery? I ordered one and I'll test it out and post the results here, but if anyone has tried this and failed, I'll just send it back without opening it, lol.
I can't find this Hongda Power battery.
Here is the ebay listing for the battery:
http://www.ebay.com/itm/New-3600mAh...Nexus-Google-Galaxy-Nexus-i9250-/260921234182
And here is the listing for the Seidio case:
http://www.seidioonline.com/samsung-galaxy-nexus-surface-extended-case-black-p/csr2ssgnlx2-bk.htm
I have confirmed that the Seidio case is indeed a PERFECT fit with the phone containing the Chinese battery. Like PERFECT. And the battery is consistently rated at over 2600mAh. Not only that, the battery was a replacement for another one I got from HongDa which didn't have great capacity. The guy sent me another without charge. This combo is definitely recommended for anyone who wants to get more battery life on a budget!

So, if I understand you correctly, you got a battery with really poor capacity followed by good customer service and a replacement battery that consistantly achieves ~70% of it's rated capacity. And this qualifies for a high recomendation.
I'm not suggesting anything bad (or even out of the ordinary) regarding this seller or this battery, but I think that as consumers we've become far too accepting of battery shenanigans all around.

Just curious. How did you determine that it is rated at ~2600mAH (which is 25% of what it is advertised at) ?
I desperately need an extended battery. I have the CDMA version what do you guys recommend. I could also use a good case that would fit the extended battery but I'd prefer if the battery didn't get much bigger if at all
You can't go wrong with the OEM 2100 Mah battery but I recently purchased a Hyperion 3800 Mah battery and case for $25, not anything amazing but did add a decent bit of battery life. Went back to stock though for the amazingly thin feel.
And yes this is on Verizon.

I am planed to buy a extended battery. I found Link Dream 3.7V 3200mAh Battery(stock battery size). Is it good? anyone using this battery?
Link Dream 3.7V 3200mAh Battery
OR Any other good extended battery?
OEM Samsung 3000maH kit is better - look on ebay for it. Includes updated backcover too.

That is not available in ebay india Are you using Samsung 3000maH? can you share your battery life?
Have you not considered the 7000mAh battery by Zerolemon? I have had mine now for nearly 2 years and would find it hard to go back to a lesser battery. Its a bit bulky but its nice not having to think of how much battery life remains on my phone I get 2 days of pretty heavy usage with around 10 hours screen on time.
oem or compatible battery
I'm finally ready for a new higher capacity battery. There are batteries on ebay, but im worried they may be overrated or may bulge or explode. Any recommendations for a cheap high capacity battery and a reputable ebay seller?
Any reputed manufacturer for these high capacity batteries?
I just bought and tested a Link Dream 2500mAh battery and it had less than half the stated capacity, so I'd suggest getting a more conservatively rated battery from a credible source.
