Where can I find the original Samsung battery? Directly from Samsung is my only option? (Verizon battery). I am have been trying to look around (ebay, amazon) but I have no idea if their batteries are real or not... Any way I can tell?
thanks.
From Verizon just walk into the store or call them.

It seems that Dealextreme provides large amount of battery here: http://dx.com/s/galaxy+battery .
I get to know it when i was looking for a battery for my phone. It fits perfectly and wont cause problem expect exploding but thats fine.
define exploding.
I've bought 2 off eBay and have been using for 5 months with 0 issues. No matter what battery I use the original or eBay 1 I get same battery life

Hi guys. So I basically had a problem with my phone a while back, and I actually asked you guys but no one knew what the problem was. I realized I fried my battery, and I was searching every where for a cheap 3800 mAh one and I managed to find this guy:
So I was like, "Hey, it's 10 bucks, I can't go wrong, right?" and I ordered it.
It came in the mail within 5 days, which was like 6 times faster than those Chinese websites.
I put the battery on my phone and it works!
Now, I don't have a regular battery to compare with this 3800 mAh one, but I can tell you my regular one lasted me about 12 hours, from 7 am to 7 pm on a weekday.
My regular usage is 3 hours of learning Korean on my bus rides, playing music with speakers for 4 hours, sitting in my pocket when it's not doing anything, and sometimes some YouTube when I get back home.
This new 3800 mAh battery lasts for 26 hours with the same usage, and that's after I've watched an episode of Suits on my phone in bed =D
It is fatter than the regular battery, but that is to be expected from any 3800 mAh battery. It doesn't actually add much more weight to the phone. My regular case won't work with the increased bulk of the phone, but they do give you a new fatter battery cover, which feels pretty good in your hands. The shade of gray of the new battery cover matches the shade of gray of the phone.
I also need to download a better screen shot app, because all the screenies of the battery life that I took turned out black =O
Click here to buy it from Tmart.com
There's already a 3800mah thread full of insights just like yours! BTW the main problem with it is it degrades quickly. after 4 months, mine's giving me about 4:45min screen on time, earlier it was 6. In comparison, the standard battery gives 3 hrs so it's a huge step up! Definitely worth the 10 bucks, and should last until the nexus 5 arrives anyway!
I actually want to make this phone last as long as possible. I might even skip the nexus 5 and go nexus 6 lol. Who knows, maybe by that time the nexus 6 will be implanted in our brains.

Haha, that's actually possible. I'm on cataclysm 4.3 right now, this rom makes the phone fly like it's a galaxy s4! All the games work, multitasking is reasonably good, and there's definitely going to be a 5.0 update coming for it so I don't see why not!

I'm also thinking about buying a battery like you, watching your theme has encouraged me more thanks for sharing your experience :good:
I too have an aftermarket 3800mah battery and I love it! Definitely recommend it for everybody.

I got one similar to this. It seemed to have lost it's capacity fairly quickly. At first it worked well. I wonder if this may have been due to CM 10.2 as well.
It looks similar to the Hyperion. It does degrade quickly. mine now only lasts about 28 hours with only about 2 hours of screen time. It's too bad, because when I got a full day of hiking with gps tracking it was awesome.

I have got a similar $10 battery folks. Now i did not get an external charger for out, is it alright if i charge with my regular USB port with the samsung 1A charger. Also m not getting any mind blowing backup compared to my 1700mah stock battery, just marginally better. I have just done 3 cycles with it may be it will improve.
One more thing the battery percentage
falls rapidly once it gets to 20. I mean its almost like a percent per minute, dunno what to do about it. :banghead:

I the same or similar battery. One day i tried using it (its my backup) and I cannot get the cover to snap into place. No matter how much I push on it the tabs are just getting messed up and I could not get all of them to click into the body of the phone. I used to work fine when I got it, as i recall.
Have you had this issue?

With this battery, you have to use the extended back cover. Mine works fine and its even easier to get on and off than my original cover. The original cover will not work with this battery.

I bought this on the 6th and haven't received anything yet.... and the tracking on the Tmart website isn't showing where my package is... just that it shipped on the 6th... Kinda feeling this is shady now?

Hi GNexers,
I've just got a Galaxy Nexus (GSM) extended battery (eBay ~ /itm/120832462058), and wondering what is the best way to get started.
I mean, should I drain it until die and charge for couple hours after the full charge? Or just start using it and follow the usual charging practice?
I've been reading some threads and blogs about extended batteries, but they all seem to talk about how long it holds the charge, NFC compatibility and such. I appreciate even if you can point me to a previous thread if my question answered already.
Thanks in advance!
As far as I know you should drain it completely and then charge it for a day and a night.

I would like to know your experience with your new extended battery. Do share your battery stats, as even I'm thinking of buying one.
Thanks!
I have desided to change the battery on my Nexus 5, Well I'm from israel so Amazon is not an option, On ebay I have found a battery with tools for 16$, seems little wierd, have any of u bought a battery on ebay? what battery should I buy?
Yeah I have 1 of the 3 batteries I bought was decent. But then again, the nexus 5 battery sucks in general
