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".

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.

Galaxy nexus/ N7 owners battery life just look and let me know please

I was thinking about putting my 1750 mAh battery back in my Galaxy Nexus since getting my nexus 7 because I use it more than my phone. How is the battery life for those with the normal battery that also use the Nexus 7 a lot.
Thanks

Well I have an iPad and a gnex so I'll give you my input I always use the stock battery (for me it's 1850 but mine has LTE so it's about even) and I can easily get through a day when I'm using my iPad. No problems. In fact I still have 19% left and I've been off the charger for the whole day with 2 hrs of screen on.

Sweet thanks do you tether to you iPad or have a 3/4g one

Looking at extended batteries, its between the Lexmar 2500mah or the Gorilla Gadgets

I would appreciate any experiences with these or another recommendation that is not overpriced like the Seidio or Mugen.

Okay I just ordered the trexcell, we'll see how it works out.
Sent from my Nexus 7 using Tapatalk 2

Trexcell is good, a full charge enough for a day of moderate-heavy usage. Best in its price range. I used it for almost half a year until I started missing the sleekness of the phone and started hating the huge tumor on the back. If you can deal with the weird shape in exchange for awesome battery life, go for it. I just settled for two extra slim batteries that I can swap out.

Qcell 4100 mah is the best battery for its price(20$) comes in either white or black back cover to match your phone. If you check the qcell thread youll see mine and many other positive reviews and pics of it.

There is none in stock anywhere, I was going to get it.

I don't see any in stock. It doesn't matter I got my trexcell today, but these are not in stock.

I just checked they only have the white one in, I need black. Its weird it wouldn't show on the amazon app when I looked it up but I went to the website and it showed on there.

Best "Case" So Far

OK, a little tongue in cheek here.
Below is the case that I have used since getting my N7 at Best buy on their accelerated launch day. I was in Vegas on business, took a cab over to the closest Best Buy (shout out to the guys there on Maryland Parkway). Was fairly disappointed like a lot of us that there were no cases available. Got back to the MGM Grand hotel and spied my "case"; a hotel hand towel! :laugh:
Been using it ever since, certainly is a conversation starter!
Still waiting on the "in stock" http://dx-box.com/myriann-ultra-slim-smart-shell-stand-case-for-google-nexus-7-fhd-2013-2nd-gen.html from DX-Box. Different story, been almost a month.

Your link says that case is in Stock?

Have you tested wireless charging through the case?

Haha... been there, done that

Cool case. There were lots of $.01 sales of N7 cases so I have several. Each their own. I use my portenzo the most.
