Yes it does its actually thin like the stock battery.. But was wondering if it last many recharges.. And if the aimed 2450 mah its teue?? Guess i have to try it
If you don't mind different back cover search for Laza ZCell in Amazon. I was able to use it for nearly two days without charging.
Keep in mind you won't have nfc

I'm always wary of non-OEM batteries. There are some good ones out there, but most of them are Chinese junk that burn out quickly. My theory has always been that if a single OEM battery doesn't last long enough for you, buy a second OEM battery and keep it charged for a quick swap. The Nexus Extended battery fits the Skyrocket and extends battery life by, in my experience, 20-25% depending on usage. With two of those, you're set for a day and a half of heavy usage before a charge is needed--and that's assuming you don't have a charger for whichever one isn't being used anyway.

My HTC Sensation has the battery it came with in the box from T-Mobile, and, well, the battery sucks a lot...
I have heard there are higher capacity batteries for the Sensation, but Im looking for a recommended one from you guys.
Please please please let me do the capacity on the one you recommend, and please provide a link! Thanks!
(Im looking for more power in one battery, not just another battery with same power)

Seems perfect and ideal. It's the messiah battery.
In bizarro world, of course.
There are a number of battery threads. If you searched a little, you'll see anker, chichitec, and mugen come up. All are decent aftermarket batteries.

ordered the seidio 1900 for $49 form amazon. waiting for it to come in. my stock battery lasts me about 15 hours before i have to charge it, so the new one will definitely do the trick for me. i usually work or am out of the house for up to 20 hours at a time.

Don't be surprised if that Seidio clocks in at less than your stock batt.
Highly overrated and overpriced.

You will need another back cover for the battery as it looks thicker compare to our.

Yupe it does come with a cover. Only covers I've seen for those battery are in black as well. I have the white skyrocket. Would love to have extra battery capacity as I ride with my phone listening to music on bluetooth for long rides...
Am I missing something? Cauz i see international sgs2 there so back cover belongs to that sgs2. Right?

Cover is not for our phone. Battery might work but the cover definitely wont.
My extended battery from my infuse fit right into my skyrocket. 3500mah. But the extended battery cover defiantly didn't fit. I really don't like the covers that are out right now for the extended battery, Im going to wait till they make one like the slopped one thats on my infuse.

Out of curiosity, we wouldn't be able to charge these extended batteries without a standalone charger right? I was told this was because our stock batteries have NFC built in with them and these extended ones don't... So when u connect ur phone to your standard usb charger, it just boot loops... Can anyone confirm this?

the powerskin is an addon to the 1850 battery in the skyrocket already so it gives you a total of 3350MAH, plus you get a higher quality battery so in the end its worth it.

Other members on XDA rated the Power Skin to be a bad choice for an addon battery. There are many post and threads regarding the charging of the battery becoming defective, the Power Skin causes the original battery to fail over time, etc. Multiple post regarding why the Power Skin is an awful product, but to me is the ONLY one that looks decent rather than an extended door panel.. If only they can make these extended batteries slim like the oem but pack a good ol' 3800 mah in it.

I can understand if it's built shoddily that it can end up frying its own battery, but how would a powerskin ruin the internal battery? Any links you have handy? Lots of threads with powerskin in them...
So im looking for a spare battery to use, what would you guys recommend? I read some good reviews about the anker battery but i dont like how its bigger and it makes the back bulge. Ive seen some ebay OEM batteries for a good price and also found these for extremely cheap http://www.ebay.com/itm/3-x-3000mAh..._Cell_Phone_PDA_Batteries&hash=item51aae2b2ed
Now i know these probably wont last as long as the oem battery but my question is is there any downside or long term damage that can occur to the phone itself by using these sub par batteries?
I'm also in the market for spare batteries + wall charger.. I had 3 for my old HTC Incredible, and it was an absolute luxury. However, I had to try 2 or 3 different companies before I found some that didn't lose their capacity

3X Battery for Samsung Galaxy SIV S4 GT-i9500 with External Charger 3250 mAh
99% of the batteries on ebay seem to come from China/Hong Kong and these come from nanuet ny.
I don't know why I mention this but it did play a part in my deciding on these
If they suck, I'll have wasted $11 and I'll go ahead and order the onite or anker batteries
I'll let everyone know after I receive them
I bought the ones off of OP's link to Ebay as well. I'll post with impressions once I get them in. 3 batteries and a wall charger for $12 is nearly too good to be true... but I'm only out $12. We'll see.

It's exactly the same as the factory 2600mah battery,..I've done a comparison test and posted some screen shots of my results, I think I titled it Onite Battery Review ,.. so yes it's exactly the same size as the factory battery , they also make extended batteries,.I'll be testing a 5200mah soon, and there making an even bigger one than that soon ,.it's definitely a good battery

Anker and all those other companies make good batteries also,...certainly a LOT better the trash you're gonna find on eBay,(which I have 4 from past phones , 2 which don't even work, the other 2 are 4500mah extended batteries that barely last 5 hours)

I wouldn't recommend these batteries at all. I had bought a pair of these batteries for my E4GT and they would lose charge very quickly. I would recommend the hyperion 5200mah battery I've heard very good things about it and am going to order one of those myself.

Thank you for your input, I'm going to go look at that battery right now I really appreciate the feedback this is just the kind of things I was hoping to get.
Costea has written a good review on MugenPower 5500mAh battery here . Its mostly on the company because the battery has not launched. You will get 3 batteries of that capacity of Hyperion so I probably believe Mugen is of very high quality.
I've had good experience with Mugen but decided to go with the wireless charging option for the S4. Want to keep the slimness

Yeah you do make a good point, I didn't actually think this one was that BIG compared to some of them out there, correct me if I am wrong, but that's why my interest was in this specific one.

I'm just waiting for the bits I ordered form Amazon. When I try it out I'll post. The receiver is supposed to fit under the current back. I got the 1000 mA charger so I'm curious to see how it works.

Has anyone specifically tried the replacement N5 battery from etradesupply? It's the only one I can see that even looks anything like OEM. All the rest are clearly knockoffs.
There's another thread about replacement battery vendors, but most of those on eBay are sold out, and the remaining one is pretty sketchy. The Amazon batteries all have substantially negative feedback, too.
I just can't see throwing away a perfectly good phone simply because it needs a new battery.
Etradesupply nexus 5 batteries are fake. I got 2 of them and they are fake so I got full refund plus shipping from PayPal and still kept batteries but have not install them.

Are you sure that is the correct battery? It is expensive, but I'll pay it if it's OEM and not some ripoff.
