Price range under $30 and one that fits or slightly fits the original back cover

anker are known to be good batteries, but you should get the galaxy nexus battery that you can pick up from the verizon store. The OEM batteries have NFC capabilities the others do not. OEM should last longer too even though the mah are different.

ZDoubleZ, that's a sweet deal! I don't really care about NFC right now, but how is the battery life of the Nexus batteries compared to Anker?

Nexus is good too but if you want to use the same cover and under $30
to me anker battery is a best choice

OEM 1850 mAh left
ANKER 2050 mAh right

my OEM 1850

nexus does use the same battery cover.. and it is under $30 lol

the nexus extended battery is better than anker. it isn't by much, but it's better.

Been on the VZ nexus extended battery for a month - wow it is great. Much better than I expected. Took off the label paper, trimmed off the plastic end caps to the battery height (with a razor blade). Left on the NFC antenna, but can get it thinner by cutting that off. My stock cover barely bulges. It's been $35 at Amazon (Samsung 2100 mah extended with cover) or at Verizon (lucked out when it was $25)

I just ordered the anker 2050 from ebay for 9.99 shipped.

I dont use nfc and our phones lack the secure element needed for g00gle wallet. I also wanted the back cover to fit correctly without having to modify the battery, and 50mha isnt a big difference.

The better the system the more battery it Burns, I app pose that if the processors and memory were less consumptuous then maybe we would be better off. Honestly even if you are turning off certain process patterns or psych out the brain it won't help, the won't be such a thing as a perfect phone unless you built it yourself, but unless the boards and parts are sold to secure in sockets your out of luck.

I've been having major battery issues still even with new Rom and kernel so i decided to buy this nexus battery from the Verizon store. is this the correct one?!? i keep reading everyone talk about the extended one but i did not purchase that one. the salesman told me 39.99 but when they rang me up they said i get a discount and it ended up only being 20.00.
should i get the extended or will this be good enough?

    It fits, but bulges the back cover if it's not taken appart. It's still a great extended battery.
    It takes 15 minutes if you want to remove the bulge-
    Peel off label. Trim plastic end caps - Cut off NFC antenna - No bulge now - Only tool needed is sharp knife or razor

    See cutting off the antenna defeats the purpose of buying the battery. Yes its 2100mah, but the Anker 2050 fits with no mods, doesnt have nfc, and is only 9 bucks.
