Battery for Galaxy Nexus - 2000-3000 mah

I'm looking for a Galaxy Nexus extended battery in the 2000-3000mah category. I don't want the Uber-thick 3800mah Seido but I don't want the extra 100-200mah for the Samsung extended (doesn't seem worth it even with a half-priced battery), I'm kind of looking for something in between (like a sweet spot) maybe in the range of 2500-3000 would be ideal. I'm sure there will need to be a separate case for it.
Any suggestions?

Chicks dig the uber thick ones

I wish there was a 2500 option for the gnex too. I'm cutting it close at the end of the day and it would be awesome if I didn't have to worry about conserving enough for an emergency.

I purchased 2 2500mA batteries from Hong Kong. There is no NFC. Also, the batteries work with the original back cover!! I should receive them by the end of the week hopefully. I am currently using a 3800 extended battery and the battery life is unbelievably great. I am hopeful that the 2500 will get me through a day of heavy use. I bought them off eBay from "weil368".

Do update us on your findings. =].
Which Galaxy Nexus are you running? Verizon Usere here.

Will update once I receive and put to use!

I received my 2 2500mAh batteries today. I just started using them. Will report back on how they last.

Just curious, do you have the LTE Verizon Nexus or the GSM version?

I have the GSM Nexus. The first day was OK. Definitely better than the original battery but no where near as good as the 3800mAh behemoth. I was able to make it through a day of light to moderate use. Hopefully after a few cycles they will get better.

How much screen on time was that? I switched to teerom and have gone from 6 hours of battery life up to 15 or so with stock battery. I think it may be the apex launcher.

It was 2:50 of screen time. For whatever reason I cannot upload the screen shot of the screen usage.

Don't use that charge I got once of them when I ordered a battery and it blew up while charging.

This is the mobile link. All you have to do is type in Samsung galaxy nexus 2500mAh battery in the search bar.

Guys ... please don't be fooled by high amperage in the same OEM body volume adverts.
There is NO 2500mAh in the world that will fit in the original 1750mAh volume. That technology is not yet accessible.
I'm 120% positive (and I can bet on this) that those "2500mAh" batteries have the same stored power (if not less) than the OEM 1750mAh ones.
If you get lucky, you may end up having initially a battery slightly stronger than the oem one which will deprecate in a matter of weeks and it will end up a lot weaker than the OEM.

I've been wondering about something for a while. Is there a technical reason why Li-Ion batteries must be in rectangular shape? Looking at the ginormous back for the Seido/Mugen 3500+ mAh extended batteries, I can't help thinking about all that wasted space above the SIM and up to the camera that could be "filled in" by an irregularly shaped battery.

The battery is made out of a long ribbon-like sandwich of electrolyte between two thin metallic foils (electrodes) and the whole structure is rolled or packed. It would be way too expensive to make it in custom shapes. So , the Li-Ion batteries can be built like cylinders or rectangular shapes.

Best sprint extended battery?

Just got my sprint gnex today and I am wondering if anybody knows of the highest charge extended battery that doesn't involve replacing the back cover.
Also NFC support is a must.

I know you asked for extended battery but I don't know any I got this one from amazon and is just an spare battery with NFC and it comes with a really nice dock to put the phone too

well there is a 2100 extended battery that comes with a new cover, but you can't even tell the difference and NFC works

Where?

If the Sprint battery is compatible with the Verizon battery then Verizon sells the 2100mAh for $25 at a store.

I don't have one either, but I think what's not compatible (without slight modification) is the Verizon back cover. I think the Verizon OEM battery would work fine on the Sprint device, otherwise.
Would be nice if Sprint launched with their own back cover and extended battery options.

The battery is a little larger than the 1850mah version that comes with the Sprint Galaxy Nexus. However, the back cover doesn't fit perfectly. You'll have to use a nail clipper or something similar to cut off the 2 small plastic nubs to fit the Sprint phone. There is a little bit of a flex on the cover where the nubs were cut, so unless you have a phone case, like a Cruzerlite case, I would not recommend using this battery/back for the Sprint version of the Galaxy Nexus. It's not major though, so it's possible to live with it if you're not really picky about the fit not being perfect.
The original back cover for the 1850mah battery will not fit with the 2100mah battery.

Wonder if samsung might make one for sprint?

Battery app .

Is there a app that can tell me how many mah the battery is ???

No. The fuel gauge in the nexus doesn't support that.
let it be.

Just received the 2000mha battery with back cover and wanted to be sure is the real deal

If you bought from a reputable dealer and it has an official back cover I'm sure its the proper capacity.
Sent from my Galaxy Nexus i9250

It looks real. You're not going to get a whole lot more than stock 1750mah. It is only 14%? More battery. But you will notice how much better the gnex feels in your hand. And a tpu case will fit great if you want protection.
let it be.

I see a lot of battery threads but can't make up my mind, what's the best battery?

Price range under $30 and one that fits or slightly fits the original back cover

they have the best battery..... wall charge really fast like 2.5 hours . i have been using for 2 months and no problem

anker are known to be good batteries, but you should get the galaxy nexus battery that you can pick up from the verizon store. The OEM batteries have NFC capabilities the others do not. OEM should last longer too even though the mah are different.

ZDoubleZ, that's a sweet deal! I don't really care about NFC right now, but how is the battery life of the Nexus batteries compared to Anker?

Nexus extended is best.

Yup, and $25

Been on the VZ nexus extended battery for a month - wow it is great. Much better than I expected. Took off the label paper, trimmed off the plastic end caps to the battery height (with a razor blade). Left on the NFC antenna, but can get it thinner by cutting that off. My stock cover barely bulges. It's been $35 at Amazon (Samsung 2100 mah extended with cover) or at Verizon (lucked out when it was $25)

I just ordered the anker 2050 from ebay for 9.99 shipped.
I dont use nfc and our phones lack the secure element needed for g00gle wallet. I also wanted the back cover to fit correctly without having to modify the battery, and 50mha isnt a big difference.

Hands down nexus...

The better the system the more battery it Burns, I app pose that if the processors and memory were less consumptuous then maybe we would be better off. Honestly even if you are turning off certain process patterns or psych out the brain it won't help, the won't be such a thing as a perfect phone unless you built it yourself, but unless the boards and parts are sold to secure in sockets your out of luck.

I've been having major battery issues still even with new Rom and kernel so i decided to buy this nexus battery from the Verizon store. is this the correct one?!? i keep reading everyone talk about the extended one but i did not purchase that one. the salesman told me 39.99 but when they rang me up they said i get a discount and it ended up only being 20.00.

Galaxy Nexus Limited Edition Google Employee Backcover

Just dug up the link for someone else, so I figured I'd post the eBay listing for both versions while I have them pulled up.
This is the same back cover as was on the Galaxy Nexuses given out to Google employees on Christmas 2011.

Unfortunately no. :/ I've heard of people who have managed to get the stock extended battery to fit though. Next week I'll be ordering the 2100mAh extended battery and seeing what luck I get.

Yes the standard door fits just fine. Running it now.
