Has anyone had the opportunity to compare this Nexus battery with the one several people have recommended from Amazon?

"Sir you sure its fits?"
"Suppose to"
Perfect fit!
Thanks OP!

I think its doesn't have nfc be the really only difference. I have to test this nexus battery out and see the results.

Is anyone's skyrocket taking forever to charge these Verizon batteries? I'm running the latest update of sky ics, and it seems like it takes an hour to gain a couple percent on the charge. It even seems to slowly discharge while I'm using it while plugged in. I've tried different cables and plugs to no avail. I even charged it fully before using it and let it fully discharge before plugging it back in. Anyone else having trouble charging this beast?

I'm still on the charge that was on the battery when i got it today! I already see a difference regardless if it is 15%. I trying to kill it so I can fully charge it and see how long it takes to charge.

Did you have any trouble with charging it like I've been having?

No, mine charges just fine. They carry a warranty if you bought it from verizon. Get a new one
I'm thinking of 3 reasons that may cause the symptoms you talked about
1-you may have a lousy charger or cable.
2- you may have a loose port on your phone (I think I've had one since December)
3- you may have GPS and stuff running that drains your battery faster than it will charge. My car charger never kept up with GPS usage
I haven't seen any negative results from installing the battery... Other than the ****storm I got in here, for shaving some plastic off the top left corner of the battery.
I recommend 2 things in general:
1- if you have CWM, delete the battery stats
2- for the 1st couple of charges, let it sit on the charger for atleast 30 minutes after it says 'battery full'
As you can see by what I wrote above
1- I like listing things instead of forming them into a statement.
2- that shows my lack of:
A-skill
B-focus

Thanks for the responses guys. I think I got it lined out, I stopped using it and let it charge fully and now it seems much better. This battery is pretty sweet and I barely have a bulge at all at the edge of the door.

I've only managed to kill the battery twice in a week; that is when I was installing a new ROM (twice). This battery is great.

Oh that's just ridiculous. This video is a demonstration of what happens when you puncture an over charged Lithium POLYMER (LiPo) battery. Our batteries are Lithium Ion (Li-ION) batteries. I can't post links yet but if you want to see a video of what happens when you puncture a fully charged Li-ION battery cell search for "lico 18650 cell puncture test" on youtube. I can save you some time and tell you that nothing happens and the battery is thoroughly compromised.
Now it is true that puncturing a Li-ION cell will make it non-operational AND if pressure is allowed to build up can increase temperature and cause it to "vent". But shaving off part of the hard plastic casing is not going to damage the Li-Ion cell. You would need to drive a nail through the body of the case to do that.
Anyone know how long this sale is going on for? I figure I could just call but it's much easier just to ask you gurus

Call your local verizon store
Just walked in the door from the local verizon store its still on sale just picked up one the sales rep looked at me like i was crazy but scanned it and it came up 24.99. So now charging it and seeing how long it can go. Fits in my otterbox so not really worried about the little bulge at the side. As stated above does feel a little heavier than stock.

Sale is still going on but they wouldn't tell me or were not sure how much longer it was going for. I just popped into a Verizon store in San Diego and bought one. Charging as I type this.

8I think this info should be added to the op:
---------------------------------
1. Go to Sprint Employee Referral Program [sprint.com]
2. enter: russ.s.mcguire@sprint.com (as email) // 383 as Employee ID // [this info is public]
3. make your way to accessories, select galaxy Nexus, add the battery [sprint.com] to cart and enter battery1 coupon code
4. check out (total should be free, with free shipping), be sure to enter the employee email and ID on the check out page again.
5. wait for the sent email
NOTE: The description says that it is a bundle that is free with purchase of GNex but it will allow you to checkout with just the battery in your cart! When I applied the coupon code, it redirected me to select a phone. When i clicked back (google chrome) and reapplied the coupon, it took me to checkout (free).

This worked for me.6Okay friends, now's the time to stock up! check out this deal for a FREE Nexus extended battery from Sprint! http://slickdeals.net/f/5055866-FREE-Sprint-Galaxy-Nexus-extended-battery?
I bought one for $0 shipped. Did have to enter my credit card info of course.
Enjoy!6Here's an instructable on one method of trimming down the battery for those who have poor fitment.
http://www.instructables.com/id/Modify-a-Galaxy-Nexus-extended-battery-to-fit-the-/65As with all modifications, I can not be held responsible for your actions. Including, but not limited to trying to modify your phone or battery. You will obviously lose the warranty on the battery, and possibly the phone.
I unwrapped the battery in step 1, thus exposing the NFC antenna, so It's there for sure
I only needed to take a bit off the top left corner, not even the unwrapping part. It's just plastic that's needed to keep it looking symmetric. Who cares about looks when its gonna be covered by the lid. I'll take a pick with my transformer, but i'm in my car, so please excuse the lighting
{This is the extended battery that is sold by Verizon for the Samsung galaxy nexus, It has just been undressed (needlessly), and sanded in the top left corner}
Please press the thank button if I helped
