Default Battery Thread discussion

I was thinking about getting a back-up battery soon and I always had 3 1900 mah batteries for my iphones with an extension cable to plug in

I'm not sure what kind of battery i'm going to buy because of case's and screen protectors, I'd like to go with just replacement battery but if I have to take the case off all the time and maybe disturb the screen protector that wouldn't be good so I was thinking about doing the same as with my iphones with a cable

i prefer the 4200 mAh solar powered from Deal Extreme (with optional wall/usb port re-charging in case you need it in a hurry)

it works everywhere

it's great when you work outdoors and no power outlets nearby

I definitely want to buy from that site but that 4200 mAh Solar I think is a little over kill for me I'm never in the sun to have that work LOL I think just a good high capacity battery will do as long as it's flat

great site

Thanks

If you can hold out it worth it for the price. Just need to find a good female/male micro usb cable. The only one i could find so far is motorola's one, but its too short. But it is better than having that battery directly plugged in.

why not try anker astro, looks far more well made, if you look at both picture carefully, you may figure it out the anker one have a higher capacity but with, smaller size. i don't trust those cheap, made in china batteries. i have one of anker astro, see my attachment. already used 2 weeks, very handy. i take it long with me all the day.

What I don't understand is that until this day all the various sites told me tha the battery in the GN is 1750 mAh. But: http://www.google.com/nexus/#/tech-specs tells us that ther is a 1850 mAh battery in the GN.
Can I say cheers to the extra 100 mAh?

I thought I heard somewhere that the 1850 is the LTE version. Not sure why Google doesn't differentiate it like they do the other LTE-specific specs
