Hey y'all,
new here to the gnex forums from nexus s and I just wanted to share with y'all my experience with this battery.
Well, I'm on my third deep cycle to initially condition the battery and I gotta tell ya...
IT RULES.
I bought the battery after reading some reviews giving it decent feedback. It's on ebay from a company seller called "ShimShop".
It arrived in just about a week and I'm very satisfied.
The battery and extended door make the phone feel slightly heavier and more solid in your hand, It fits in both commuter and defender series otterboxs, but I suggest commuter.
I've been throuroghly impressed today as the battery has only drained 10% in 7 hours with 30 minutes of screen time. All my sync settings are enabed, running stock aosp 4.1.2 alongside franco's m6 kernel with his optimized settings.
I encourage EVERYONE to buy this battery. The stock gave me decent battery life, but this one seems much better thus far.

Thanks for letting us know!
Also, how much better is it compared to the stock 1750mAh Battery?

It'll buy you a few extra hours (unless your a big gamer, then you have to measure the gain in minutes). It's worth it to get through a workday with commuting included.

There's already a thread about it which is a couple of pages long.
It seems much stronger than the 1750mah, even though its only a difference of 250mah. It literally lasted me 48 hours with 4 hours of screen time, It's taking me forever to get through the initial deep drain cycles lol

Same here, I can get almost 4 hours on 2 days of battery. I do disable location tracking though and only turn it on when needed.
Keep in mind guys, that you're coming from a well used 1750 to a brand new 2000 so the difference will feel much greater.
Hey, I just bought one from the same seller. Won't be here for at least a week though. Thanks for the recommendation!

You don't need to do any conditioning of modern batteries, just use it. I've been using the extended battery in my new GNex and it's going on forever from my normal charging habits
I had a gnex a while ago before the summer and now im switching from my gs3 back to it. I get maybe a 4 hours or more at times with my gs3. Any extended batteries i should consider getting ? Thanks
I managed 1d4h on the stock battery. 3.5 hours screen on and I had about 30% remaining. That's with a majority of my web browsing on wifi. YMMV, obviously. Many would suggest the extended I believe. It's worth looking into, depending on how you use your phone.
I see you have verizon. At least for me, I can get a MAXIMUM of 1 hour of screen on time and about 5-6 hours of just sitting on the desk doing nothing...no syncing even.
So in short, for me at least, the battery sucks. The GS3 (my friend has that and i'm just going by what he said), it lasts about 3-4 hours screen on time and over a day on standby. Take your pick
dig through the accessories section, PLENTY of extended battery reviews by users there
I bought the Hyperion extended battery when I got this(this week) and love it so far. Last me all day no matter what I do on it.

Verizons sending me the samsung extended OEM one, hopefully that will be good. I usually use my phone for text,web pictures,music and gaming.
I brought an external battery on ebay that said it has 6000mAh several months ago. I use it when I'm travelling or have to come back home late.
Technically, the external battery should be able to charge the phone for three times more but when i actually use it. I can only charge it for 1 and a half times to 2 times, which is kinda disappointing.
The external battery costs somewhere between 20~30 US dollars. I don't know whether it is the inexpensive price and bad quality (it actually looks pretty cool and handy) that result in the bad performance or all the external batteries are just like this.
Some people suggest using an extended battery which can last for a whole day. But i kinda expect something that can last for two or more days as i was using SAMSUNG B7610 and i could use it normally for 3~4 days without charging.
I saw some posts saying try some other kernels but i tried franco kernel, fancy kernel, lean kernel, etc. Despite claiming a longer battery life for 3 days, they still won't last for a whole day. BTW, my ROM is paranoid android, up-to-date.
Does anyone have the same situation or solution to a longer battery life？
Just so you know all external batteries lose 30% of its total energy actually charging the device. My external Anker 5600mah is really 3920mah so I can charge my 1750mah battery about 2.23 times which makes sense with what you are experiencing. Just make sure you do your research and get a quality product.
Fact is newer phones are more demanding with HSPA+ and LTE Radios, Constant Phone Signal searching, bigger screens, and fast processors.
I have the Hyperion 3850mah Extended Battery and could easily get 2 days of battery. I tend to be more demanding with my phone since I do not own a tablet so my day is about 10h on battery with 4 hours of on screen time with 35% left. I did not feel the 2.5-3 hours of on screen time for the 1750mah was terrible but I needed more battery for my needs.
Oh BTW I'm on Stock 4.2.2 Not Rooted.
Razor's right....extended is more the way to go....
And just to let you know, custom ROMs have a tendancy to use a lot of battery due to extra stuff put on the phone.

Thanks. I'll probably keep using paranoid android though.
I've own the SGS3 almost since launch day. Soon it will be 2 years old.
I'm getting 3 hours SOT and 24 hours total.
I'm thinking of buying a new original 2100 battery to see if it improves battery life. Would it?
Anyone has tried this?
Thanks.

I haven't tried it yet since I'm hopefully getting a new phone soon but I do believe it would help, maybe an extra hour SOT because I know my battery was amazing back 2 years ago and now I get the same times you do if not worse.
After a year on mine I was only getting 1700mah, So now I get a new Anker 2200mah battery every 6 months because they are just as good as original but do last longer.
Theoretically yes! battery life should improve, as you will be having a new battery.
My battery is just over a year old and i get around a 1d12h worth of battery time and roughly 3.5 to 4 hours SOT.
I recently bought a Pisen 2100mah battery off the internet and for the same SOT i got more usage. maybe 1d 20h nearing the 2d use.
n.b; wifi is always on. i use 3G for like 30 mins during a day
from what I've heard, newer generations of batteries, like ones that ship with SGS3, should not be drained to 0% with phone shutting down. it was advised to charge at low percents like 1% to 5% while phone is still on

Of course it would and if you dont have problem with size and weight i recomend you to get samsung's 3000mhA battery. Why not getting a bigger battery
It depends how old the battery is though. All Li-ion batteries degrade over time, even if they aren't used. So if you get a 2 year old battery, that has been sitting on a shelf somewhere, it won't help as much as you'd hoped. Depending on the temperature and charge level it was stored at, it could have lost a lot of its capacity.
So the trick is to get a newly manufactured battery, which isn't so easy since most sellers don't write this information.

Since a bigger battery means the battery is thicker,the original back cover wouldn't fit,then you need to use a specific cover which would make your phone heavier.
Right now I am in this trouble,I got a Onite 4500mAh extended battery with a blue cover,hopefully it's a great product, shipping as listed and battery performs exactly as listed,I just don't like the cover,it made my phone looked heavier.I was wondering maybe I should choose a power bank and put back my OEM one on.

This is true. You also need to account for your usage. If you do a lot of activity that heats your battery up (games, navigation, etc.) Then even a shelf stored battery will help since heat is another Li-ion killer.
My S3 was 2 years old in May of this year. I have been having issues with the battery and charging. My USB charging port has the classic loose connection issue as does the headphone jack. I see the fix and YouTube videos to repair but have not yet done that. I last week got my new OEM Samsung battery and the external charging kit. I just upgraded to Kitkat 4.4.2 NDA8 despite being eligible for a new phone discount from Sprint. My S3 is a 32gb unit and I will not buy a S5 with only 16gb, no way no how.
The new battery is performing very well. It is so close on updating to 4.4.2 that I can not be certain that there were not issues with my rooted 4.1.2 build after so many months. For sure the new battery is lasting longer. I think it was worth the $42.03 spent on the charger and battery as my USB port is in question and I can always swap batteries and charge with the external charger.
My S3 has a new lease on life and I can wait for new tech before upgrading. xda developers forum - root - and the desire for liberty is a powerful combination.
why not try using wireless charging? the qi reciever + charger should not cost you mote than 35 bucks. and you can still use your current battery, battery cover, & nfc, unlike powermat.

A 2 year battery will definitely be worn-out. Depending on the charging cycle count, could be only a 20%,but maybe a 50 or 70%.
I bought a Zerolemon 7000mAh battery few months a go, I'm usually getting 4-5 days on normal usage, and 11-13h of screen on.
Best bought I have ever made.
I just wanted to share my experience with a replacement battery for the Nexus 5. I bought a cameron sino brand battery and I am very happy with the results. I got 4 hours sot over 2 days, which is better than when the phone was new. I am running unofficial LineageOS 15.1. With a bit less YouTube and candycrush I think I could easily get 4.5-5 hours.
I am still having a bit of a calibration issue. You can see the battery level actually goes up towards the end even though it was not charging.

Hi, how are you getting on with this battery, it's been a few weeks since your post, are you still happy with it?
Thanks
Yes the battery is still working well. I'm not a real heavy user so I only need to charge every other day. I only lose 2-3% over night.
But this battery is same 2300 mah capacity, how is it better?
It's probably not, OP might have said so due to a different ROM (unless OP already had Nougat when he purchased the phone), or just blurry memory
I've had a similar experience with some random battery too, until I waited a month, now around an hour of YouTube nearly drains the battery completely. Let's wait some more
I bought this phone new when it came out so I was using a ~4.5 year old battery. I guess the sot could have been similar at one point, but I was struggling to get through a day before replacement. Now I'm getting two fulls days of use between charges.
It's a decent replacement option for people who do not want to get into battery modding.
This is original 5 years old battery
