Verizon Galaxy Nexus 2100mah extended battery DOES NOT FIT GSM Nexus! :(

---

Ran to get the last one in a nearby store and the battery doesn't fit in the GSM Nexus. Not even close. The battery itself is wider than the battery compartment in the GSM Nexus so no way to jam it in.

Such a shame.

On a side note, I'll be selling this 2100mah extended battery if anyone is interested since they are in short supply - rather sell it to a fellow XDA peep than return to store and have a random person get it.

A friend of mine said the droid charge battery will fit. Can anyone tell me if this is true?

No NFC then. The key was this one had NFC like our current batteries.

I am curious as to where you picked up this battery? I just ordered my LTE Galaxy Nexus and for the life of me cannot find the official extended battery for sale anywhere! How much are you asking?

$60 + shipping. Its in the Marketplace forum.

Me too - that's why I ran to get it!!

The actual size of the battery is different though and now people are saying the battery covers themselves are different so even if the battery fit the cover wouldn't.

I really hope Samsung sells something like this for the GSM nexus

Nope. There's a thread around here somewhere on the internals - different layout for the i515 and i9250.

i9250 battery here (local for me, I'm sure there's UK distributors):
