I'm in Canada so eBay was my only option...
I've even requested Mugen and this is the response I got:
Thank you for your email!
I think this model will release on next year,
I am no sure the mAh for this model yet, still on planing at the moment.
Please contact me if you need any additional info.
Best Regards,
Jan

Checking the power usage, most if it is being used by you guess it...
The display. For me this number flirts around 50%. That's a boat load of usage compared to everything else!
I guess Motorola didn't choose an energy efficient panel.

I was rather amazed to hear that the screen sucks so much battery! Thought a 3.1 low-res screen would rather give a better battery life.
May be a custom ROM with some tweaks can take care of this.
I'm going to leave brightness on about 40% for the day and see what happens. I normally have on auto brightness, and my usage does show the display using about 50% of the juice.
Yeah with respect to the display I don't think an HTC phone would be that high... Odd choice moto!

Eh, sometimes the Hero got up in the 30-40% display usage
how much thickness does the extended battery add? it's hard to tell from the picture, but it still looks like the there is the raised portion at the top of the device for the camera
Not much... I hardly even notice its there. The new battery backing even keeps a slight curve as the original slimmer one did.
I'm really happy this is an original Motorola product and the battery cover / door looks just like the thin one with the silver swirls and all.

cool. might have to pick one up from my local store.
Hi to everyone,
is there any lucky owner of Motorola Extended battery who can tell me how thick is phone with extended door? I ask one seller and he tell me Droid Pro with this original extended battery is about 1/2" thicker than with standard 1420 mah battery. But after I have read this thread I think it must be nosense. But there is no exact infor and no photo anywhere. Thanks a lot!
I'm really surprised to read about everyone having battery problems. I wouldn't describe myself a heavy user, but I do make several calls, send and receive a boatload of texts, have widgets that require data pulls set for every 30 minutes, do a small amount of internet browsing, and use the mp3 player for an of hour or so while working out and I have had nothing but amazing battery life. Being a BB convert a couple of devices ago, I can say with certainty that this, being my 3rd Android phone, has the best battery life so far. I usually unplug around 6am and by 11pm, I'm still at about 60-70%. No android device that I know of can touch the battery life of a BB, but this one has been very good so far.
It adds more weight than thickness imo. The battery is probably 1/8" thicker and the soor the same. Probably adds 1/4" more thickness overall, but there is a great weight different to me. Seem to hold a good charge though. Worth the $34 to me.
im really interested in this
please post a picture, only with extended door and battery one from the side
I'm waiting for:

Has anyone tried to fit the otterbox in w extended battery? May try to hack up the case so it will fit when i get it
I was able to cut out the back on the standard cover for the extended battery to stick out, and the otterbox seems to fit fine. If you don't want to cut your back cover, you can just leave the back off since the otterbox protects it, though I still like the idea of having an internal cover. I may go back and put some sort of rubber seal around the battery opening just in case. Will post pics later
Here are the results after several days of use, it seems to be very good..
It also includes 1.2h of gps use with screen off (endomondo)...
I'm consistantly getting at least 10-12 hours of heavy use with around 5 hours screen time with these babies, so yeah they're all good.
Shame the spider-foot back cases are better built. The Momax supplied ones feel really flimsy.
Also, Tids2k has had overheating problems with the Momax, maybe it's a bad batch as I've had nothing of the sort. Just someting to be aware of.
Would it be too much to ask for some pix of the actual case? Particularly I'm interested on this battery because of the stand included with the case, what has been the experience with the stand.
I'm currently using the Spiderfoot and the performance has been good so far.
Thanks guys
I'll try to make some pictures of the cover, but it is really HORRIBLE, I had the momax battery for the galaxy S, and the cover was fine (althought very bad quality).
This one seems better quality but very bad designed... too bulky!
Thanks I would really appreciate it, is it really that bad? Is the stand not worth it?
It can't be as ugly as the spider foot haha, even though I'm using it I have to say the phone kind of losses its appeal, however, the extra juice is worth it.

Just gotten it from HK.
Not really asthetically nice but functionally, this battery definitely extended by usage by another 40%!
This is more for power users who values usage more than looks
OMG, You made your slim&sexy phone pregnant .
You just couldn't resist it could you?
...that's uuuuugly!
Ya man,
It's Fugly, but at least I won't have to hunt for charger by afternoon
Awesome battery life ..... But it is so ugly >.<"
Hi all,
I just scored a used Galaxy Nexus, Sprint version, on eBay. It seems to be in good working condition, however the battery cover is not flush against the battery. There's actually enough space there that when I shake the phone, the battery shifts up and down in its housing, clicking against the cover. Is this normal with this model, or should I quickly take advantage of the 14 day return period?
Definitely return. NOT normal.
I would GUESS you have a standard battery with a cover for an extended battery
After Googling around a bit and looking at photos of batteries, it looks like my battery may have been switched in from a different Samsung phone, possibly a Galaxy S II. I suppose I could order a Galaxy Nexus battery and hope for the best, but I think I'm going with the return option. Better luck next time, I guess.
Pics of this? I didn't know gs2 batteries fit

On further examination, I think you're right. Someone helpfully posted a serious of comparison photos on the Amazon listing for the Verizon extended battery/cover combo, and the extended cover looks pretty much like mine. Now the question is do I return the phone (since standard covers don't seem to be available anywhere), or suck it up and buy a bigger (heavier) battery for this one?

Personally, I use both the stock and extended Verizon battery, but I only keep the cover of the extended battery on me. Not once have I had an issue with the smaller battery shifting out of place. I'd say you keep it if there isn't anything wrong with the phone and even ask the seller if they happen to have the stock cover lying around anywhere.

If indeed you have the stock battery with the extended cover and don't wish to buy anything extra (although i would recommend getting the extended battery for longevity reasons aswell as fit) you could opt for the primitive fix: tape a piece of paper to the inside of the cover to hold it tighter.

i've read reviews on numerous extended life batteries via amazon, most of which seem not bad at all really but im concerned about phone protection. The cases you must use with these batteries quite frankly look cheap, lending not much protection. I currently have ballistic maxx.
So, Is it worth it? Battery isnt bad now, but...you know... can never have too much!
I've tried some extended batteries on my S3. However I always end up going back to stock. Main reason is to keep my phone light and thin as possible. Besides the kernel tweaks I use give me good life. I do agree with some that look cheap though. Guess it comes down to preference.

Yes, very true. I enjoy the feel of the phone with the ballistic case now. Protection wise, its awesome. Now I've since moved to the MOAR rom and am seeing just as good, if not better life on battery. So, I think I should just stick with what my dad always told me, "If it ain't broke, dont fix it!"

The couple I tried said they were high capacity, they weren't, worse than stock, with no NFC.
message brought to you by my GalaxyS3
It comes down to what you really want. If you want to keep the Phone thin, then the Stock Battery. With the Tweaks from THIS thread you can get some fairly amazing Battery life. Now if you want to go Extended Capacity, then a lot of people are having great luck with the ZERO Lemon 7000mAh Battery. A bit thicker than an SGS3 with an OtterBox. Plus it is NFC capable. The same company also makes a Stock size Extra capacity that people are saying is good. Again NFC capable. But ultimately the choice is yours .

I just got my zero lemon yesterday. We went about 20hrs on 94 percent battery capacity. I was on the phone for 8 straight hrs used lots of data and screen time.

I have the official extended Samsung battery, its not that bad and will get you atleast 4 1/2 hours of screen time while also keeping your phone slim. I use rubber cases that slide over your phone and didn't have to buy a special case for this battery.

Hey everyone. I have seen countless threads for the Nexus 5 Battery cases.
Just wondering if anyone has tried this:
http://m.ebay.com.au/itm/251631021161?nav=SEARCH
Want to know if its worth it? Also, i have heard good things about the i-Blasin battery case and ZeroLemon ones.
Any feedback on a really good battety case would be appreciated
I have the Zerolemon, it arrived today. I can't comment on battery life yet but I'm very pleased with the case itself. It is particularly bulky but I prefer this to the bare phone, which i find far too slim. The extra size hasn't impeded on "thumb-reachability", I can still use it entirely one handed - in fact it sits far better in my hand as it actually has some weight to it and enough device to grip properly.
The built in screen protector does its job although I'll likely replace it with an adhesive glass one in the future, it's a bit naff. Buttons all work well, as does the camera flash - doesn't seem to impede image quality when it's used.
The belt clip I'll never use, and it's useless as a kickstand as the clip itself holds it at terrible angles. Could be repurposed as a car mount though without much trouble.

On Amazon. This is the exact product link I bought, but the spec and picture have now changed (my case is black, plus I have the battery) It was $39.99 before shipping.
http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00IMOCZOA/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o00_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1
If it helps at all, the LG G2 battery they do should fit fine, albeit you'd need to buy the case separately.
I use the Spigen slim armor and its great
Since when is the slim armour a battery case?

Did you end up trying the eBay one?
I've ordered the exact external battery case as shown.. Charging full for the 1st time now.. Looking good so far. No complains except the slow charging..
zerolemon urgent help needed!
I just bought a zerolemon extended battery for my nexus 5, but i dont know how to use it beside that ive charged it gor 12 hrs for initial use and it got over in just one day!
Maybe i didnt use it efficiently or any other issue,
If anyone has it please advice me how to use it effeciently!
Thanks!
Maybe users with external battery cases can share how they use their battery cases..
Is the zerolemon customber service good or they don't answer?
Is this any good? -> http://www.ebay.com/itm/3800mA-Exte...18?pt=LH_DefaultDomain_15&hash=item566ddadaa2
Price is good and installation seems easy.
Tommy this thing seems good but shouldn't a battery of 3800 mAh give your nexus a charge more than once? As nexus built in battery is 2300 mAh?
I am using zerolemon extended battery of 3500 mAh but it doesn't give me one complete charge though, but still its handy while you are travelling..
But the zerolemon is very bulky with 100% protection, this thing isn't bulky but as they claim its optimal protection, so my opinion is you given it a try, its worth it BUT @ your own risk
So can anyone give any reviews on the zero lemon case? Worth the money or what?

I don't recommend it for continuous use, until and unless you are someone who constantly is in journeys. The battery gives one n a half extra charges to your nexus 5..
I would rather call it an external charger, or a power bank, rather than external battery for nexus 5..
Hopefully I answered your query, there shall be any other query? Feel free to ask..
Thank you!

Why would you not recommend it for daily use? I'm trying to see the pros and cons. This is pretty much the most solid one of all the options we have for the Nexus 5.

I don't recommend it because I've used it, the charging input from the zero lemon to your nexus is weak, it will take 3 hrs to complete, and constant usage at the time of charging heats up not only your device but also the zero lemon battery...
I don't say its bad, but I wasn't satisfied with it, and yes comparatively zero lemon is the best... But ultimately there's no solution to this nexus battery problem..
U can still go for it.. But don't use zerolemon too much, except at the time of necessities..
Anything else?
I carry a vinsic 20000 MA battery and 2metre lead in my backpack. Just pull out as much lead as needed to reach my pocket. Soon charges with 2.1amps and fast charge. Better than a case imo. I use bluetooth adapter for music and calls so the phone stays in the pocket and I can use my Sennheiser cans with no lead.
