Is there an app to monitor extended batteries?

Just wondering if there is an app to monitor the correct voltage and percent instead of trickle charging it or charging it in an external ? I mean its been out a while now...

nope, no app, doubt there will ever be one, or a modified kernel specifically for extendeds

Use any SBC kernel, there have been a few people with issues. I have used it for like 3 months with no issues. I use current widget and when it reaches 0 the battery is fully charged.

Bignipp can u explain that again? What widget do u use? I am using an sbc kernel but it didn't seem to charge my battery like the external. Im getting another battery tomorrow well see how that one charges

I guess you were talking to me (2 b's not p's) the widget I use is the current widget. It can be found in the market under that name. It measures current lost to current gained reguardless of the size of the battery so when it says full but still has like 350 mAh until its full to zero you can see it. I have it installed on my home screen. I am running netarchy 4.3.2 (I think it is) kernal with the SBC tweak and no undervolting and no bfs or cfs and it works flawessly.
Hope this helps

+1 for current widget. It'll show you your drain when not charging or net charge when it's on the charger. it'll also keep a CSV log on your SD card so that you can see how your device has been charging /draining over time, along with what services are running at the time the data is polled. It doesn't exactly do what you;re asking, but the phone will turn down the charging current as the battery approaches it's capacity, so you can infer that the battery is getting full when you see the charge current start to drop (the stock kernel starts dropping current around 65%, by the time you're at 90+% you're at around 100mA net charging current, not sure what the values would be with the SBC kernels, or how the stock kernel would behave with the extended battery)

(TIP)Possible battery drain solution for LTE devices.

Like many here I've been having battery drain issues since the day I purchased the Galaxy Nexus. I also purchased the extended battery since day one. I've been reading through every single forum on how to reduce the battery drain and none seems to have worked for me. I've tried switching to wifi, 3g only, no email push, no google+, etc and my phone at 100% battery would lose almost 30% within 2 hours idling. Then I was looking at the settings and I came across the Developer Options/Background process limit and limited my background process from Standard to At most limit to 1 process and my battery has improved tremendously. Prior to making the change the Android OS was using 80+ % on idle (Wifi or 3g didn't make a difference), now it's uses around 20 or less. On idle I'm seeing around 4% or less an hour vs 15% battery drain.
Please remember this may or may not solve YOUR battery drain, but it has definitely helped mine and I just wanted to share with the community on what else you can try.

I've had pretty good results with my battery. I think some of ya'll are either just playing around with it too much or have some energy-sucking apps out there.

Or that you don't have a connection to the data network.
Just say'n. (I do the same thing at night)

I had Wi-fi enabled for 12 hours, and the battery only dropped to around 85%. I have been on 4G for 5 hours now, and the battery is now down to 13%. I'm going to use a Wi-fi/3G combination tomorrow. Oh and I also have my phone rooted/underclocked to 900Mhz.

I've been using it for 3 days and have had no issues. Anyways its as easy as checking the standard limit if you ever wanted to revert back.

wondering how to change this battery?

Was my biggest worry with buying this phone, would be awesome to be able to finally upgrade the battery

Battery Packs
There are 3000+ mAh battery packs available that have a short cable to plug into the micro usb port. While quite small, not really something you'd consider to be a daily driver.

They generally cost around $25 US.
I've even seen 10,000mAh battery packs

with the right rom and power tweaks, I've found the battery to be sufficient. I text often, make numerous voice calls, read the news, some social media and other random apps daily. Lasts me from wake to sleep with no problems

I purchased a Unicharge 5600 mah external battery for 20 dollars off Amazon. Works well for whenever I need some extra battery. I can usually get about 7-8 hours from my One V (Airplane mode but with Wi-Fi enabled and with moderate camera use).

[Q] Is this typical battery performance?

I'm new to the Verizon Galaxy Nexus (Toro), I just switched from a Thunderbolt.
So here's the issue: I am seeing much quicker battery drain than I would expect when running Carbon 1.1 (Android 4.2.2) or Carbon 1.0 (4.2.1). I'm going to try franco kernel today. Here are some screens showing stats. I replaced the stock battery (person who sold it said it wasn't holding charge) with Anker battery. I also disabled NFC wondering if maybe this battery doesn't support it.

Any advice would be greatly appreciated, maybe I missed something with installing the rom with this phone, as I said before, I am new to the Nexus.

You might can squeeze a little more, but </= 2 hours screen on time is generally what you can expect.

Seems pretty normal to me. With almost an hour of onscreen time 53% after almost 7 hours is pretty good.

Alright, thanks for the input. Sort of not what I expected, as this isn't much better battery life than my TB. Would anyone expect an improvement using just 3G? I don't typically use data on my phone anyone, as at home and at work I have wifi

Not a substantial one, no, but minimal improvement maybe.
EDIT: Unless the majority of your battery drain is coming from data usage.. Torrenting and such..

I somehow noticed a much better battery life in 4.2.2 than 4.2.1
I am running ParanoidAndroid 15th Feb release and AK 691 Pirates on my maguro.
I have disabled sync and only sync mails 2-3 times a day and complete sync once.
And screen on time between 2.5 to 3hrs is normal for the GNex.

** Community Battery Life Tips & Tricks **

While we have VOOC and (some of us) a spare battery lying around, we could all use more battery life when we're away from a wall outlet. So..
Post your battery stats/power consumption details along with any steps you took to achieve it.

Enjoy all.

Here's my battery results after a full day's use.
Stock Oppo Color OS
Stock Kernel
Google Now OFF
Low Manual Brightness
Bluetooth On
GPS On
Keylights Always OFF
Vibrate on Touch OFF
Greenify: NONE
Snapdragon Battery Guru: LEARNING
[There is a very small part where the battery charged while attached to a computer due to syncing over a few songs. I only seem to recall that battery going up by 1% at this time]
Anyone have any suggestions?

After installing snapdragon battery Guru i mentioned verry low speaker audio during phone Calls. uninstalling fixed the behavior.
anyone else.

That was with about 3 hours of gps on and using Google maps and a route planner for my deliveries today. I don't know if that's good as I've yet to use it like this before.
I have all off screen and on screen gestures turned off except the 3 fingers for screen shot. Auto brightness and wifi was off today as well.
The other day I let my phone idle for 9ish hours while I slept and I lost 4%, that was also putting the cell data to edge though.
I also use the greenify app, not the built in greenify. Haven't messed with the built in greenify does it work the same way?
Tapped out on my beastly OPPO Find 7a

This has got to be a bug...
Unplugged, drove to work and noticed no drain on the monitor.
The phone was trickle charged by my router though overnight, not through the OEM charger

I disabled the gestures, that helped a lot.

how long does your battery get charged with the flash charger??
