Well I've been looking around for an extended battery for a few weeks and I can't seem to find one for it. I don't want the 1750mAh battery. I want a 3800mAh extended battery WITH NFC. Anyone know where I can get one?

NFC capable batteries are usually only made by OEMs. Currently Samsung only offers a 200mAh extended battery and I doubt they will be offering another.

It is my understanding that NFC is a proprietary technology (Samsung-only). Currently Samsung only offers a 200mAh extended battery and I doubt they will be offering another.

NFC is NOT proprietary. It is a technology used by many manufactures like Samsung, Nokia, RIM, etc.. However, aftermarket NFC enabled batteries are uncommon. Most of the time they are only available through OEMs.

Thanks for clarifying. I didn't word my respond properly. Basically what I meant was that an NFC battery would most likely only come from Samsung.

no problem buddy :) just wanna clear up any confusion.

btw, OP, you should consider a spare battery alternative instead of an extended one. I have two spare ones and I'm happy :D

Look for the Seidio Extended Battery 3500mAH with NFC for the GSM Galaxy Nexus on their website (seidio online in google).

It's a bit pricey ($69.95) but WELL worth it imo...this battery + one of Franco's kernels makes my Galaxy Nexus have INCREDIBLE battery life (4+ screen time easily per day even with gaming and a lot of browsing on 3G) and NFC works with it too, I tried it personally at McDonalds with Google Wallet and it worked fine.

What would it take to put the nfc antenna on yourself? As in pull it off the stock battery and put it on the aftermarket? Or better yet on the inside of the backplate.

Is that tweezers and soldering gun work or would you need factory equipment?

If I'm correct the chip is in the battery and the other parts are in the back over I say just buy the sedieo one I'm going to by it once I have the cash for it and the extended covert

Thanks man! But I ordered a portable charger yesterday. I think I'll try that out before I get an extended battery. Gotta spend my paycheck somewhere you know? ;)

Btw, I got this charger:

$100? I might as well buy 6 regular batteries. And that's gonna make my phone so thick! Thanks though bro.
