Default Slim Extended Battery?

Hey guys I remember on my OG Inc I bought a slim extended battery that had a bit more power but still fit the original back. Anyone know if they will be making any for the Inc 4G? Oh and what are the metal contacts on the back of the battery door for? Thanks.

I have no idea about a slim extended battery for the Inc4G. My guess would be no, since there's already a fatty available.

The metal contacts on the battery door are for NFC (Android Beam, Google Wallet, other mobile payments...).

i dont know either,, but what i did with my og dinc was used the 1800mah battery from the og evo http://www.ebay.com/itm/2X1800mA-Bat...ht_3580wt_1271

im not recomending that seller but thats what i did and i would just pop in a new fully charged one when needed or take an extra one with me if i was going out and guna use alotta juice ) and get great batt life without needing a fatty backdoor ) im currently trying to figure out what other phones with bigger batt will work with our dinc 4g using this same method )

What's the deal with finding regular slim batteries for the incredible 4g? Every time I do a search on Amazon and thru Google it comes up with batteries for the evo4g. Are these batteries swappable? Just looking to get an extra slim battery and Verizon doesn't seem to sell them, only the extended batteries. Hard to believe none of the batteries on Amazon will fit but none specifically list the dinc4g, only say incredible.
