1850 mAh Extended Batteries from eBay

[AllGamer]

simply WOW!

Before you continue, jump to post # 87 http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=10913484&postcount=87​

so far so good, it's been almost the end of the work day and it's still on 74%

i'm going to run it a few more days, before i give my recommendations

also i'll reset the counter tonight midnight, and let it run a whole normal daily cycle to see how long it can last without recharging.

then repeat the process with the stock 1500 mAh battery

but just for reference, the stock battery by this time of the day, is already way down to 50% or less

sorry shaky hands

open eBay website
then search for item 220683021453


[1850 mAh Extended Battery] Here are the pictures you've all been waiting for...
... old results, new ones will come on Monday, to capture the same info captured on the stock 1500 mAh test

[1500 mAh Stock Battery] Results are here
seems like the stock battery last slightly longer in a normal day routine than the extended battery, however by the same time in the morning the stock battery was already down to 63%

it's a perfect fit

no bulge at all

you'll see in the pictures that i'll be uploading later

So there's no replacement battery cover??!

I think I'm sold already lol

 

[docsamsom]

How much was it?

 

[irishrally]

I will definitely get this if there is no battery cover change needed.

Link to the one you got, please?

I hope this has more juice than the stock ones... normally anything the same size usually doesn't run any longer... heres to hoping it does!

There's been a lot of testing of aftermarket batteries... and they usually hold 70-80% of what they claim, so I'll be really surprised if this battery lasts any longer than the stock Samsung one. If it does, then that's great, I might pick one up, but I'm very skeptical... maybe a placebo effect?

The only way to really test is to get a voltmeter or do some controlled testing like video playback looping.

agreed, cant remember that site off the top of my head but it was pretty sad. However, if this battery indeed does better I would invest in one asap.

Better to risk $20 rather than $50 on Sedio's worthless 100 mah increase battery.

Picked up a set for myself. What is the correct way to cycle new batteries to give it the best performance ?

Search for some of the threads from the NS release day youll find plenty of different ideas and theories

Order mine today. How long did it take to come?

Believers b3ar fruit with their Nexus S.....

Lithium-ion is a low maintenance battery, an advantage that most other chemistries cannot claim. There is no memory and no scheduled cycling is required to prolong the battery's life.

http://batteryuniversity.com/learn/article/is_lithium_ion_the_ideal_battery

There is only one way to charge lithium-based batteries. The so-called 'miracle chargers', which claim to restore and prolong batteries, do not exist for lithium chemistries. Neither does super-fast charging apply. Manufacturers of lithium-ion cells have very strict guidelines in charge procedures and the pack should be charged as per the manufacturers "typical" charge technique.

Lithium-ion is a very clean system and does not need priming as nickel-based batteries do. The 1st charge is no different to the 5th or the 50th charge. Stickers instructing to charge the battery for 8 hours or more for the first time may be a leftover from the nickel battery days.

http://batteryuniversity.com/index.php/learn/article/charging_lithium_ion_batteries

Although lithium-ion is memory-free in terms of performance deterioration, batteries with fuel gauges exhibit what engineers refer to as "digital memory". Here is the reason: Short discharges with subsequent recharges do not provide the periodic calibration needed to synchronize the fuel gauge with the battery's state-of-charge. A deliberate full discharge and recharge every 30 charges corrects this problem.

That's what I thought. Thanks for clearing that up. You were very helpful

I hope so. I just ordered.

Here's hoping that all of our Nexuses don't explode...
