So because I love the extended battery for my Galaxy S4, I emailed ZeroLemon asking about a battery case for the N6. here is their response:
Hi,
Sorry that we dont have the plan of making the gadgets for Nexus 6. We hope u can understand. Tks for your support!
Besides, we have external battery for your reference. http://zerolemon.com/product-category/external-battery/
Best Regards,
Joey
I was very upset when I got this email. maybe if they get enough people bugging them, they will make one?
anyone know of any other companies that plan on making extended battery cases for the N6?
Well... with the size of the battery in the phone, it's hard to say exactly if a battery case would be NECESSARY, what with the less battery-hungry Lollipop and it's Battery Saver as well. And though i've never used one or owned one, I'd probably rather use an external battery, not only because of the potential mAH of them with a significantly small package, but because it's not only for that one device.

Now the main reason I like the ZeroLemon battery case is because they not only have the secondary battery, but they also provide more protection than the Otterbox Defender cases. My girlfriend has one for her Nexus 5 and the thing is awesome.
Probably because the nexus 4 and 5 cases were total crap. I had them both.
ZeroLemon is worth it for Samsung devices or the G3; anything with a removable battery. Their uniqueness is in their tri-cell batteries. They made a name for themselves when they came out with 3xstock batteries the same size of the 2xstock batteries from all of the other aftermarket battery manufacturers. When they do accessories for phones with embedded batteries, they're not doing anything special.

Who, then, *is* doing anything special for the Nexus 6? I'm not necessarily loyal to Zerolemon, but the battery is less than 5000 mAh on the Nexus 6, which means it won't last me through the day. Does anyone know of any company that has announced a battery case for the Nexus 6? The point of a battery is so you don't have to plug it in, so an external battery is a non-starter.

Well I'm not saying they won't make anything for the Nexus 6, I'm just saying the signature of ZeroLemon was their tri-cell battery design which is irrelevant to a phone with an embedded battery.
As far as an external battery case for the Nexus 6, if anyone makes one, it's far too early right now. Wait a couple months. I doubt it's going to happen though, the Nexus 6 is just too big. Lots of companies have extended replacement batteries for the Note series, but that's different because the internal battery isn't embedded.
N5 didn't get its first battery case for many months after launch, and I think most would agree that was a much more practical design to work with for making a large battery case.

I'm going to agree with you on this. I bought the Zero Lemon for my LG G3 and it was huge! I mean really big. It literally looked like I was carrying a brick around. I can just imagine how big the case would be for the N6. And honestly the battery life on this phone seems to be great. I came from the Droid Turbo and which has a huge internal battery (3900 mAH), and this phone lasts just as long. Also the "Turbo Charger" is awesome. So there's that.

I am curious, if you used the turbo charge fairly often (maybe not every day) would it deteriorate the battery at all more so compared to just a normal charge cycle? Or have they started to improve batteries too?

I have only used the Turbo Charger on my Moto X 2nd Gen. since I received the phone on October 16th. I haven't noticed any issues with the battery not retaining a charge for as long. I never even unpacked the standard charger that came with the new Moto X. Granted it has only been a little over a month.
Honestly. I have no idea if in the long run the battery will suffer from the "turbo" charging. I guess only time will tell. It would be really bad on Motorola's part to design a phone with a non removable battery and a charger that ruins said battery. We'll just have to wait and see.
What are y'all talking about? The battery isn't removable is why no one with be making a bigger battery
I've never even heard of this product but I sent them an email asking for an ETA on when they would start shipping for you!

They don't replace the battery in the case of a phone like this. It would plug into the Micro USB and then you would have a spot on the case to plug into the case itself to charge both.
Looks like they make them for the iPhones which also do not have a removable battery.

Um that is not what the original post says. It says he is looking for a Zero Lemon "Battery Case". Do you know what a battery case does? A battery case is a case for the phone that has a built in battery. The phone goes into it and it generally connects to the phones charging port to supply more battery power to the phone. This would be most commonly seen on say an iPhone because the battery is NOT removable for quick swapping in another battery or a later battery.
You still have to be able to CHARGE the phone when it's in the battery case so some give you a port to plug a cord into, some are wireless charging. Most wireless charging battery cases also support plugging in a cord.
It's not really an extended battery as much as an external battery build into a phone case.
As the Nexus 6 does not have a easy to remove battery I could see why the op would be interested in a battery case but wow that would be bulky on this phone. I have a couple friends who have battery cases on their iPhone 4's and 5's and damn they add bulk!

Like title says.. I've been trying to find a extended battery which has higher capacity yet the size of the original battery but no luck
Does anyone know if there is one and where to fine one
Thanks

are you sure that's even possible ? unless the battery was made of some other kind of materials, I have tyrouble seeing how you could store more power in the same battery size.
If you don't want a bigger phone, Your best bet would probably be to buy a second standard battery but it's a hassle to swap the battery when it's empty
If the battery is the same size it could in theory have more juice but it would be negligible. Seriously though, I picked up a charging cradle with battery charging slot and 2 spare batteries for $20. I also have a car charger and 3 chargers in my house. Unless you get a battery that is about double the size, you won't see a big difference and even then many batteries don't live up to their specs. Chargers and spare batteries are cheap. We're not dealing with smartphones of a decade ago where everything was proprietary and would cost at least $30 a pop.

I remember reading something about this... I think it might have even been on this forum but it was something along the lines of "Don't you think, if it were possible to fit more juice into the same size battery, that samsung wouldn't do that with their OEM batteries?"
Samsung, and I'm sure many other major device manufacturers don't just buy a battery off ebay and throw it in their phones. they spend time and money researching better battery technologies to get the best power/life they can.
It's my second day with an Andida 1850mAh battery, no big changes yet compared to my 8 month old 1500mAh OEM battery, i'll post back after a few complete drain and charge cycles.

After 3 complete charge cycle its a little bit better than OEM but no big improvement. I'll see in a few more days.

How long have you had the battery? I'm looking for a new one as well but not if I am going to get scammed. Thanks!
Not Nexus related, but I have a vibrant that I got the Galaxy S 2 Epic 4G Touch battery for recently. Battery life went from about 6 hours to dead (month old 1500 mAh replacement battery bought at a phone hut) to 34 hours to dead (new samsung 1800mAh battery.) Nothing else changed.
My point is this:
1. If the above statements about samsung packing in as much as possible are true, why didn't the vibrant have a 1800mAh battery from the start? (hint, it is always about money.)
2. Take a crap 1500 mAh battery, slap a 1800 mAh sticker on it. People that buy these batteries will see an improvement because most generally they are replacing a worn out battery with a new one. Of course you will see an improvement, your worn out stock battery has only (arbitrary number) 600 mAh worth of usefulness left. The replacement is new and is not worn yet. (All arbitrary numbers follow) So, you will still see an improvement if you take a rated 1500mAh battery, that is labeled 1800mAh, but is in actuality only 1000mAh.
So asking if there is another, bigger, better battery for the Nexus made by Samsung, is a very valid question. So:

Yes it is possible. Search the Vibrant, and Fascinate/Mezmerize forum for examples.

Because it is a device from 2 years ago (2010) and the S2 is from q3 2011. Maybe two years allowed them to cram more juice into the battery.
Maybe it wasn't viable then, to stick such a large battery, considering the power consumption of the vibrant compared to the S2. Maybe if they did the price would have gone up.
I highly doubt that Samsung would just stick different stickers on the same capacity batteries. maybe you had a defective or a non-original one. There are people that measure this kind of stuff. How much damage would Samsung's image suffer if someone found out that they sell a 1000 mAh battery with different labels and price tags?
I got a gold 2430 mah battery from ebay. http://www.ebay.com/itm/2430MAH-HIG...093799?pt=PDA_Accessories&hash=item2c5edcdce7
i don't know about it holding 2430mah, but it's far better than my 1 year old stock battery. i can post some battery usage stats later.

"Take a crap 1500 mAh battery" In this case "crap"="non oem"
I figured that would be obvious with my prior "phone hut" comment. I guess not.
----------------
I am a big fan of the OEM batteries. I have not tested a non-oem battery that will perform anywhere close to the stated specifications so far.
If you guys find some good battery reviews, tests, etc. please post up.
Keep in mind that comparing a brand new "Craptastic Brand™" battery to your old worn out OEM battery is kind of pointless for getting a feel of the comparative quality/capacity of a battery.

Hey everyone,
Has anyone tried these two batteries for the Nexus S, Seidio Innocell 1750mAh Slim and the Anker® 1600mAh Li-ion Battery?
Click on the name to see the Amazon link.
I've been looking around for a new battery replacement battery for the Nexus S, can anyone recommend one that they have seen improvement in?
I don't think they'll be any improve from stock as they are the same size, but just want to know personal experiences.
I'm not really interested in the 3800mah giant battery is it would be like carrying a brick in the pocket.
I've had 2 anker batteries. Both froze my phone up. The first made my phone lag multiple times (how?), the second one I received froze my phone up while I was using it the day I got it.... I just ordered a spare OEM one and haven't had any issues at all. Not saying the Ankers are junk, I've just had a bad experience with them. Their reviews are mostly positive though. No personal experience on the extended though, except that I've heard they aren't worth the money.

dude my Anker is awesome granted i have the Samsung Epic 4G but my anker 1800 mAh is amazing.
I just got 3 days of battery life without even being on a charger at all. granted i also had to use airplane mode every 12 hours but if had just let the mobile data on and off like normal use i could score 2.5 Days.
The 1500 mAh OEM couldn't even break 12Hours.
I have a battery from Momax. (Google them or search for their batteries on ebay)
This is the buyer I bought it from: http://www.ebay.com/itm/Momax-X-Lev...357283?pt=PDA_Accessories&hash=item1e683586e3
Arrived pretty quickly (I think 1 week) given it was shipped internationally.
I have been using their batteries in a Galaxy S for over 8 months without any issues. Am using it in the Nexus S for a few weeks now and it works fine.
Momax batteries work and are a lot cheaper than Mugen or OEM.
And with that battery from Momax did you noticed a significant improvement in battery life?
Yeah. Some screenshots would be nice. Every Samsung battery I've had for this phone just gets destroyed. I don't understand why my phone idles so badly.
Greater Battery capacity is good. But it needs to be combined with good kernel settings (cpu governor, i/o scheduler, etc)
My original battery could last for 17hrs to 20hrs

You would say what the NFC in here ? I have bought a mugen battery 2500 if i'm not mistaken and one day i have had need the nfc for some test, at this moment the nfc was enabled but nothing happen. When i search on internet i saw few post that mention on the battery there is a part of nfc system so i came back to my old original oem battery and the NFC application worked back.
So take into consideration that when you change your battery, your nfc system may be inefficient.

the 'nfc system' is not 'inefficient', it's just that the nfc chip is inside the OEM battery so your nfc works with the OEM battery. when buying a battery from a different source do check whether the new battery has an nfc chip in it. cheers

Does anyone know of any extended or aftermarket batteries that could work with the Droid 4 by replacing the internal battery?
I understand it is an internal battery, but that does not mean it cannot be removed :good:
You can take it out, but it's not supposed to be removed, so as far as i know no one makes one for the droid 4. Some ppl tried putting in a razr maxx battery, but they then found out that the battery doesn't fit into the same slot. What you can do is get an external battery or maybe you can see if they make cases with battery's in them like they do for the iphone and other devices. Hope i helped.
I have been looking for a case that has an extra battery in it and i cant seem to find one anywhere. If anyone finds one please let me know. I use my phone everything so it would be nice to not have to take my charger with me all the time.

the mugen site doesn't list the d4. closest thing is the d3 and photon (not the photon q, which looks a lot like a d4), both of which have regular removable batteries, so it doesn't look good for us. esp now that it looks like the droid5 just got leaked... and it doesn't seem to have an easily replaceable battery either.

hey there! Figured I would chime in on some info concerning extended batts for the D4.. Even though I am not sure that this pertains to the particular model you are looking at, I have found one that works extremely well, and does not need an extended back for the phone. It has thicker cells, and I've gotten more than a day out of it. Given that is not full use of course, but still thats almost unheard of (at least for me) when it comes to the D4. Also, I have to say that I was a bit pretentious at first, because this battery is sourced from china/japan on eBay. Anyways here is your link!

Yeh they have a extended battery 2085 mAh using stock door but the Mugen is 3800mAh which seems super capacity tho the device will become a bit thicker due to expanded door.
I don't mind the expanded door just want to know experience of people who have used it - how long it takes to charge from 0 to 100% and does it almost give double battery life to Droid4 when compared to stock battery...
PLSE PLSE share your experience before I spend $100/- :laugh:
I bought 3weeks ago a new battery from eBay. It 2100mAh and the battery life is quite better than before. I was charging after 4-5 hours of use and now it around 6-7 hours of use. What kills it for me when it is 1xmode for internet.....because I have flashed over to another carrier. Im quite happy with the battery.
Here a link to the same battery i bought....http://www.ebay.com/itm/New-Internal-Replacement-Li-ion-Battery-for-Motorola-Droid-4-XT894-EB41-2100mAh-/321329426209?pt=US_Cell_Phone_PDA_Batteries&hash=item4ad0b9ef21

Any particular reason besides the price & expanded door you didn't think of purchasing 3800mAh Mugen ?

I am more keen to go for this as it is lmost double capacity from stock battery...
I'm surprised to see not much talk of this, as for me it's the biggest hang up with this awesome device (second is no sd slot). I find it extremely handy to have a removable battery because 1) I don't have to worry about being super careful about how I treat the battery as replacements are usually fairly cheap and 2) it opens up the possibility of larger 3rd party batteries. What's everyone's thoughts on this?

Oh there has been PLENTY of talk about this.
That's the trend, removal batteries are going bye bye. Whether it's removal or not, the important question is whether or not it is possible at all to get at the battery slot. Have to watch a few tear down videos.
The iPhone 4/4s didn't have a removable battery either per say... yet you could easily do it yourself.
doesnt bother me.. i think the phone pricing already gave us justice
this is a make or break issue for me aswell. Will the wireless charging orb hold a charge so I can put it in my bag when im travelling and connect it with n4 without the need for any sockets?
if not are there any third party softwares that can allow something small which can recharge battery without any connections?
thanks

No, the inductive charger must be plugged into the wall. The only benefit of an inductive charger is not having to make any physical connection to the phone every time you charge.

This.
I was blown away when they first sold the Galaxy Nexus for $349... now to have a much better phone for $299 and $349 options is absolutely insane!

I loved the convenience of inductive charging when I was trying out WebOS! Can't wait to have that thing on a Nexus :victory:
Guess I'll be skipping this Nexus.

Saves on USB wear and tear... I'm down! I think that the USB port is probably the weakest link in all cellphones.

Apple boasts about new Lightning connector. Google took it to the next step - no.cable.
Hands down.
lighting port was just such a terrible idea. -_-
We will have to see what real life battery life is like.
2100mha battery does not last a full day now. I tend to swap if I'm using my phone during work and need to use it at night.
Nothing mentioned in all the fancy features about awesome battery life....
Although not being able to remove the battery is annoying, I say introducing inductive charging to the Nexus line makes up for some of it.
too bad you still have to plug it in to transfer info to a computer. For that, I like the lightning port. Micro usb is annoying and so so fragile.

I know what you mean, but for some files depending on the size of them I have started to use bluetooth file transferring.
This is a huge concern for me as well. Spare batteries are cheap and you never have to worry about your phone dying.
However, the price is too good to pass up considering how it looks and the amazing specs it has.
Not to mention, on jellybean, my phones battery life has been phenomenal.

Best solution for batteries that die out during the day's usage? Buy a second Nexus 4! You know, since they're so cheap and all.
No battery removable battery and no sd card tells me hmmm maybe but its still designed by LG. Thats what i really hate. But at that price. I may buy it and use it as an ipod touch lol
I recently just bought the 5X and I love it, yet the battery is used so I know it won't perform as good as if it was new, so what's a good battery to get? I'd prefer one that has a larger capacity than the stock, but doesn't require a modded back or anything

I've seen posts with users that performed the LG G2 battery mod (similar to the rage with the Nexus 5). IMO I wouldn't trust a ~3-3.5 year old battery however unless you somehow manage to source late-manufactured parts.
I'm actually looking at doing this myself. My current battery is dying. AccuBattery says my battery health is below 70%, and I'm only holding a 1,900mAh charge instead of the original 2,700mAh. The G2 battery is 3,000mAh. I bought a LG G2 battery (BL-T7), and a spare 5X battery (BL-T19) just in case it all goes south.
Doesn't look too hard to mod the battery, and then it's a drop in replacement. The two batteries are the same physical size, which makes it easier than the Nexus 5, which had a different size battery and required case modding.
I'm not sure how I feel about buying a G2 battery manufactured in 2013, but I doubt I could get a 5x battery made in the past 2 years anyways.

I got these 'OEM N5X' batteries, do they look legit: https://imgur.com/a/UROLN
Should I replaceme the battery in my brand new N5X from amazon with one of them, you think they will be better? Haven't opened the unit yet to compare the batteries - what dates of manufacturer do your batteries have guys? any newer than mine?

You will (possibly) have a fresh battery, but the capacity will be the same. Those batteries will be better than the one in your phone, but only because of age difference

Thanks, pretty much what I expected - but only if they are 100% genuine OEM - I read that most of these "OEM" batteries on ebay are just lower MaH batteries with proper stickers on them..

I got one of these: https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B01MQZV9ZV/ I figured for $12, I'd give it a shot. I knew it wasn't OEM, so I wasn't going to be offended if it wasn't a full 2,700mAh.
The one I got was manufactured in 2016. It started off with a ~2,400mAh charge, but I think it's already dropped to ~2,200 mAh after a week or so. It's better than the 1,800-1,900mAh I was at before, but not phenomenal.
how do you check capacity between battery swaps?

Look on the battery, it should say on there somewhere. If not, use a battery check app
I am planning to do a little more. I have already ordered a spare battery and a back cover. I will be connecting the second battery in parallel and make a hole in the new battery cover I have ordered. For the hole, I will 3d print a fancy red cover and will stick there with superglue.
I am waiting for my order to reach, then I will update here too the result.
