extended battery?

Not that the nexus battery life is awful, its just not great and id pay a decent amount for longer battery life.
I found a 1500 for like $60 as opposed to the stock 1400, but i dont know what that means, how much more phone time does that equate to? And can we expect 1600? 1700+? Will there be better options than the 1500? And what are the trusted brands/websites in extended batteries? thanks.
I intend to have this phone for a good while. With my g1 and mytouch i never cared enough to look for a better battery so i know little about them.

I don't think it will be possible to extend the capacity using the same volume batteries. Don't believe offers, who promise more capacity but have same size as original battery! 99.99% is hoax.
1500mAh should last 7% longer. Not worth 60bucks imho.

A 1500 mAh battery will last about 7% longer than the stock 1400 mAh battery. I would not recommend spending that kind of money on such a little increase in battery life.
In a nutshell, the mAh is the capacity of the battery. Higher mAh (miliAmperehours) means longer battery life.

I would like to add that the 1500mah battery is probably third party and lower quality, off setting the fact that it has an extra 100mah.

interesting. So can more capacitive third party batteries be expected, i.e. 1600+? And would it be misguided to hope for HTC to directly offer a worthwhile extended battery? thanks for the helpful replies...

At some point I'm sure an aftermarket battery will be offered which replaces the battery cover too, but it'll make the phone an unusual shape...
For now you could consider something like the Motorola P790 and a microUSB adapter. It's an external 1700mAh li-ion pack that sells for about 15 bucks. It has a miniUSB charging port and a miniUSB power port, so you'll need an adapter or a cable of some sort to use it with the N1.

I hope that LI-PO packs become standard. This will be helpful to keep the device the same size and maybe lighter?

what really get me is that all these mobile phone company's know that batteries will always be the number one complaint from customers. so why not just fix the problem and make everyone happy?

What about 3500 mAh for the N1?
This was a cool find. I haven't fully accepted it is worthwhile yet, but for $70 and 3500mAh solar/usb/AC rechargable, it might be a great accessory to have. (just keep a short Micro USB cable with it)

Thats because their advertised 2000 mah TP2 battery was around 1200mah in reality, 300mah less than the stock battery.
http://batteryboss.org/
If they haven't significantly stepped up quality from their TP2 days, then this 1850 battery will have significantly less capacity than the stock battery.

Ill try one
sent from my epic 4g with no 4g

So has anybody that said they would try using one of these actualy ordered it and done so?
Sent from my SPH-D700 using XDA App

I have ordered and used mine for 3 days. Seems to last less than the stock OEM battery. I'm sticking with the Seidio 3300 mAh battery tho

I bought one and used it for a week. For 10 bucks its OK as a spare. I cannot tell any difference in endurance between this battery and stock.

Yep, didn't see much of any change good or bad. Decent spare for the price, that's about all.

i heard Yoobao had a great 2800mah battery that lasts for a very long time. its on ebay for $25 and i plan on getting one for my epic soon (when i get it )....

Is it at least a little heavier than the stock battery?

nope. a little under 4grams lighter

White Extended SkyRocket battery 3850mAh

For people with white skyrocket phones, I can across this one. Think the market only has black skyrocket battery covers for now.
http://www.amazon.com/QCell-Samsung...OKPK/ref=sr_1_6?ie=UTF8&qid=1334541782&sr=8-6

About time
Tapd on my Skyrocket

Just ordered
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I727 using XDA

I was wondering if you would take some pictures of your phone when you get the battery and cover on so we could get a feel of how big it is on our phones before we order one.
Thanks bro

Hey all,
I bought this QCell 3850 a couple days ago off Amazon and it showed up at my door yesterday. I installed it last night and gave it it's first charge. I'm in the process of discharging it right now and will post my observations on battery life after I've fully conditioned this battery.
As some of you may know conditioning a Lithium Ion (Li-Ion) battery differs slightly from the old NiCad batteries. Charge it fully for at least 8 hours then drain it to 15%. Rinse and repeat about 5 times for best results. With Li-Ion batteries you want to try to avoid fully discharging the battery as this WILL NOT increase your battery life and can only do more harm then good. 15%-25% is the optimal range for recharging a Li-Ion battery unless it's not reporting it's charge correctly. Correcting an improper battery reading is the only time you want to fully discharge your battery.
As soon as I get to work i'll post some size comparison pictures for your viewing pleasure.

The good the bad and the ugly
OK so here are the pictures I got. Special thanks to my buddy cmenard for snapping them with his Galaxy Nexus. I found it was quite difficult to use my phone to take a picture of itself and don't have a camera readily available for such tasks at the moment.
These first 2 pictures show the difference in width between a Skyrocket with the extended battery and my buddies T-Mobile Galaxy SII T989 (both phones are listed by the manufacturer as width 2.71 inches / 68.8mm):

These next 2 pictures show the difference in size between the OEM Samsung battery and the QCell extended battery.
This last picture shows you the difference in color between the stock battery door and the one included with the QCell.
There is no doubt about it that the extended battery makes the phone bulkier and heavier. I'm going to try to get my hands on a postage scale so I can get exact weights on each battery to show the net gain. Being a larger man, the bump on the back is very noticeable and uncomfortable in my pocket but I do find that it makes the phone easier to hold because there is now surface contact with my palm.
The fact that the whites don't match sucks and in addition to that I never feel like the back door is fully snapped in place.
The first day after giving this battery a full charge I was somewhat impressed with the extended battery life. Today it feels like there is no improvement, but I will wait to make my final judgement until after a few more nights of charging/discharging since day to day usage changes.
I'll keep you updated with my findings!

Battery mods long term reviews

Been using these for a while now, decided to do a long term review.
-incipio I own 2, the wireless charging and non wireless charging version. Been using these for about 6 months.
-Mophie juice pack, been using this one for about 3 months.
I'm using these in efficiency mode, I'm trying to improve my z Force battery longevity and so far it really show. I'm a heavy user and usually I start to see lower battery life within 6 months on all my previous device. I completely discharge these pack, it's the worse case scenario for a lithium battery.
Let's start with the incipio, it's a 2220 Mah. I mostly use this one when I'm home swapping back and forth between the wireless and non wireless version. 6 months down the road, the capacity drop is severe,I don't have exact numbers but I would say close to 50 %. I'm disappointed, for the prince point both of the pack show extremely poor life cycle.
Pro
-great grip and build quality,
-not to bulky
-add wireless charging,
Cons
-price,
-poor charge/discharge cycle,
-no charging port on the mods,
Mophie juice pack,3000mah. This is my daily driver,so far I'm extremely satisfied with this product. I am yet to see any sign of capacity drop. The battery finish is somehow slippery. I feel the price is more justified on this mods,
Pro
-good build quality
-not sign of reduce capacity, even with heavy use,
-charging port on the mods
-battery level indicator,
Cons
-bulky
-no wireless charging
-finish give poor grip,

Great long term follow up.
Replacing battery packs is certainly easier than opening up the Z in order to replace the battery. Using the battery packs as they were meant (essentially draining them) will certainly diminish their overall capacity/life span. Too bad it happened so quick. I thought lithium ions were supposed to stay at 100% capacity for at least 500 cycles.
Any comments on the size/weight difference between the Mophie and the Incipio?

Soyes XS - 1.580mAh battery?

Hi,
got this phone for about 10 days and I highly doubt the claim it has a 1.580mAh battery.
in fact AccuBattery app shows and always showed capacity a little below 1.000.
anybody here has this phone, too?

it's 860 i found someone opened battery cartridge on twitter

do you have a link on that?
it is kind of impossible being that low due to the claculations on AccuBattery. 1000 would sound right

soyes XS battery size and extended Battery
It's definitly a 860mah battery:

The size of the soyes xs battery is 60X37X3mm
The battery capacity is the real problem on this smartphone i'm thinking to mod it with an extended battery but 2mm thicker .
I'm thinking of putting of the back and using the case as the new back to gain this 2 mm.
Do you think using a li-po battery would be a problem, my google search on the subject seems to say there is no problem.
Battery would be this 1200 mah one:
https://www.ebay.fr/itm/3-7V-1200mA...ion-1-0Connector-053759-for-GPS-/262039783842
or this 1500 mah one:
http://www.batteriesetpiles.com/bat...59-3-7v-1500mah-batterie-lithium-ion-polymere
size:
Length: 59 mm
Width: 37mm
Thickness: 5 mm (2mm thicker)
There is many different batteries of this size with different capacity the model to search for this size on google is "053759 battery" or "503759 battery"
What do you think of it?

Hi!
My XS is just on the way, but Im already planning to upgrade the battery to this one you linked. But I will try to make a plastic shim around the frame so I can re attach the back cover like it was original.

There’s one a little better again on aliexpress... Polymer Lithium Battery 403760 1400mAH. Just need instructions how to pull it apart first! Anyone?

I bought this one

I kno I'm hella late, but I had to teardown my xs b/c I was/am having a connectivity issue. I also wanted to connect an external HP jack. The reason being I'm currently in prison. I figured I'd attach charging wires directly to the board so I can use AA batts. I wedged the back glass off with a razor and pried gently. Any idea what carriers will support this?

So Battery for Soyes S10?
