Ext Batt w/ Stock back door - Samsung Galaxy Nexus

which ext batteries fit this criteria?
which ext batteries out there either fit into the stock back door or will fit into a Trident Kraken case with a different backdoor?
i'm thinking the biggest i could go is 2100 mAh.

None. Generic extended batteries are inferior to the stock one and anything larger requires a larger back.

well i've seen on amazon the 2100 mAh battery is only marginally thicker than the stock one. seller says the otterbox defender case still fits on it, too.

You specifically asked about the stock door. Which won't work.

Gotcha. Should have clarified.

Take a look:

I have one, but can't give much feedback, because I bought it right away when I bought the phone and I'm always docked when possible (at work and at home).
But the brand has good reputation and NFC works and zero problems since I bought it, a few months ago. No need for new battery cover. But not compatible with Verizon version.

So I can't post links because (joined but avid stalker) and I bought Anker 2x2200 mAh and it works with my stock door. When I get past ten I'll update the post.

[Q] Yet another battery thread

Ok, i believe that i read some time back that you could use a touch pro 2 battery in the evo. correct me if im wrong, but if the stock battery that we use is as true to 1500mah, wouldnt the HTC manufactured 2150 mah be one of the best extended batteries to buy? I have found a couple for sale, and wanted to be sure that the touch pro 2 battery does in fact work in our evo. thanks and sorry for yet another battery post.

Here is the amazon link to the batteries. I know they wont fit under our stock door but for 10 slices of paper from my wallet plus the addition of having to buy another stock evo battery cover to modify to fit this battery, I feel like this isn't a bad deal considering the price. I should get the battery sometime around Friday or Monday of next week. Will post pics of said modification and results as soon as possible.
there are "3500" mAh batteries available for under $10 too. I believe they are closer to 2800. I've found the yoobao 3000mah batteries to be the best, got mine for 20 shipped.
and yes, the tp2 will work in an evo. you aren't going to be able to mod the stock cover to fit that. just buy an extended cover, you can get them with the battery for about 8.

Well I'm gonna hack up my old battery Cover so the battery will stick through. I have one of those crystal gel cases that will hold the battery in place, I just want the cover there to act as a speaker cover. The extended covers make the phone too large. I think this will keep the phone slim it will only be slightly thicker than it is now. I have come up with a couple of designs as well that allow me to use the stock battery door and hold the battery in place without my case. Like I stated in my earlier post, I'll post up the concept and see what ppl think. I just wish they made a battery cover that went around the battery and not make the entire back bubble out.
Check out the Mugen 4500 mah battery if you will be hacking up your back cover... I think there is a thread that has info for it.. Search
Gimme a week and ill post what im doing. Lol i still wanna keep the phone slim for the most part, so no 3500 or 4500 mah batteries

I'm loving my Yoobao 3000mah battery. With medium use, overclocking and custom kernel, I get about 36 hours out of my phone. Well 28-29 not counting sleep time.
verdict 2150mha touch pro 2 battery DOES NOT WORK!!!! Repeat DOES NOT WORK! So i bought a sedio 3500 battery and fell in love with that instead!

Love the Innocell 1750mAh extended battery

I purchased the "Innocell 1750mAh Slim Extended Life Battery" from Seidio online.
I was getting just enough from the stock battery to get me through until I went to bed and put my inc2 on the charger.
Now I can go a day and a half before I need to charge!
All this and it fits with the stock cover. Definitely worth the 45 dollars!
Just me 2c

Give it a couple of full charges... before you start getting the full advantage of batt.
I hated the ones I got for my Inc1. Lasted just as long as stock battery and that wasn't worth $45. I traded it out twice thinking it was maybe a bad battery. Same problem even after waiting a couple days of use. Sold it to my friend and he hates it. Best battery I bought was the 1600mah oem TP2 HTC battery from ebay for $5. Lasted two days on that thing plus it was OEM. I'll consider Seidio again but I wasn't happy the first time around.

Agreed. Typically third party batteries (including Seidio) have exaggerated mah ratings. The batteries that are marketed as being extended batteries might have a little more juice, but not nearly as much as the rating indicates. They often tend to wear out much quicker.
Glad this one seems to be working for the OP though. Perhaps this one is different than most of the rest.

I bought 1800mah Mugen Power instead, heard good things about their battery, it's slim so I don't have to use different back cover. still waiting for mine.
Love my Mugen slim extended, definitely significant more life out of it over stock
I have the Mugen also; I tried the Seidio 1750 w/my DInc1 and while it was an improvement over the stock battery it did not perform well over time. I've had the Mugen for ~3 weeks now and am quite happy with it...I hope I can say the same thing in a few more months.
Do you think those cheapies on eBay are worth it? Could they damage my phone? 3500 with extended cover for $11...

I've gone through a lot of batteries for my Inc1 and best results come from the OEM batteries.
Ordered a lot off eBay and only seller bidallies sold legit OEM. The generic work but lose capacity over a few weeks and are off on the ratings, Seidio is good but barely better than stock and not worth the $$$ on the original Inc. I'll be trying a Mugen next.
So I recommend saving the money you'd waste on the junk batteries and buy a good one that'll last.

Yeah I'd like to keep stock back cover. Like I mentioned with the Inc1, the HTC Touch Pro 2 battery fits fine and it was a 1600mah while the stock Inc1 battery was (in HTCs infinite wisdom) a 1300mah. Fit snug but still fit under stock battery cover and gave extra few hours of life.
Save the money and just order a couple original stock ones on eBay for $10 a pop.
Don't need to go into details about how your paying for a placebo affect. I made the mistake. Never again.

Larger case for S3 with extended battery installed?

I've recently gone ahead and purchased two extra batteries (extended higher capacity versions). One 3300 mAh and one 4300 mAh. They both come with their own special (larger) battery back cover. This in turn makes the phone much thicker and no normal case or protector will fit anymore. I've looked everywhere and just can't find any larger cases.
Has anyone found or know where to look for larger cases that will fit S3's that have extended batteries? I really do need to find something.
Thanks

I think you are looking for what is called a Power Bank rather than just an extended battery:
http://www.amazon.co.uk/PowerBank-E...GXCK/ref=sr_1_4?ie=UTF8&qid=1345985658&sr=8-4
This is the one I am considering.
I've posted a few pics below. The only back cover that I could find with the Anker 4400 was blue so that's what I have on there. Can't really tell with the cover on. I might spray it with some white if I don't like it. I have a size comparison with my wife's iPhone in a Speck case. Not much thicker. I'll be carrying this setup around SXSW next year.

Sorry for the late reply, yes it does fit. Picture attached! Fits pretty good, is not loose by any means but it goes in and out as it did with the Surface Case for the stock backplate and battery. It goes in all the way to the bottom and the top spring clip holds fine.
Ignore the chibi batman box in the background =)

Official VZW extended battery w/ stock cover

Hey all,
I have the VZW GNexus, and I'm thinking about buying the 2100mAh battery for a bit more battery life out of it. I already have two portable chargers(one 6000mAh, another 3000mAh. What? I don't like running out of power. ), but I'd like to be able to last just a bit longer before needing to charge. Now, the problem is, I also managed to get my hands on the special back cover with the design that was given out to Google employees during Christmas 2012, and I'd hate to have to get rid of it. Could anyone with the official extended battery tell me if the stock cover will fit with the extended battery in?
Thanks!
it might, i think i accidentally put it on mine when i first got it but something didnt look right or fit right.
Mine fits perfect. I actually like the feel better.

With the stock cover? That's great to hear!
I have that now kind of, extended battery and stock case, but broke the bottom right clip trying to get it on... It puts stress on the clips for sure, be careful.... Wouldn't wanna hurt that limited edition cover lol
Edit: took the case off that was holding the battery cover on more or less, it stays on now, the broken clip doesn't make it stick out, it's in somehow... But it bulges a little, I don't have another cam to post a pic unfortunately...

The VZW OEM EXT battery works perfect in the OB Commuter with no door. If that is something you are interesting in.
My next project is to dremel the hard plastic on the inside of the Defender to fit one of those fat third party batteries with all that supposed extra juice. I have read guides on how to do this in sub forums for other devices. If all goes well the soft rubber that goes on the outside of the Defender holds in the battery with minimal bulge. Will report back after I attempt this.

I'm not sure how people are saying the stock back fits with the verizon extended battery. I bought the extended vzw battery and backplate when i bought my phone. The original backplate partially snaps on, at the top and bottom of the phone. the sides will not snap shut due to the slight increase in battery thickness.
I also have bought an anker battery (amazon) that is rated at 2200 mah. It is identical in size to the stock 1850 battery and fits perfectly under the original backplate. the downside is that this battery is designed for the tmobile galaxysS2 and does not have the nfc chip (not an issue for me as i do not use it anyway). I will provide the link to the battery below that also includes a wall charger. For 20 dollars you get the two batteries and the wall charger. I'd say the battery life of these ankers are less than the verizon 2100 mah but certainly more than the oem 1850.
http://www.amazon.com/Anker-Batteri...&qid=1362421935&sr=8-1&keywords=anker+verizon
tl;dr: the vzw 2100mah will not fit behind stock backplate. these anker ones will and are a good deal.
God I love that Google battery door. Show a pic!
The stock extended battery most certainly fits under the standard battery door. It has a tiny bulge but works fine no mod needed.

Extended Battery choices and experiences

Hi,
I just ordered GS3 and am waiting for it to arrive. It's T999L, but I figured there shouldn't be any difference in terms of extended battery options. I'm thinking to buy an extended battery, so I'd like to hear people's experiences and recommendations. I've already done some search, and here are my thoughts:
- There are extended batteries that are too thick to fit in the original back cover, but they offer longer battery life (of course). Biggest issue for me is, I'd want to use a regular protective case on my phone, and looks like if I make my phone thicker with one of those batteries, I'd have to order a bigger case instead.
- There are extended batteries that do fit in the original back cover. But, I ponder if it's really worth the extra $ spent compared to the stock battery.
What have been your experience? Please share
Thanks,
GT
I've got the genuine samsung 3000 mAh battery and it's been great. You give up no functionality especially NFC and I get over 5hrs of screen time. There was a thread about it and many others in the accessories section.
I suggest you take a look there.
