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.

Thankyou for your reply, at least now i know that there are some issues that the batteries can cause.
I've an Anker and....It's one of the worst battery in all my life
They're fake, if you scratch away the sticker you'll see that is just a 1'100mha battery....
sad story..

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

Hi,
I just want to share my personnal experience. I have seen many batteries comparaison but never they mentionned the NFC feature.
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.

On the nexus s the nfc chip is on the back cover not in the battery!
I'm using Anker and its not a bad battery, over clock to 1.2ghz and i still am able to get around 20% by the end of the day (lots casual gaming and music playing)

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
the nfc chip is in the back cover of the phone, not in the battery

Hi all!
I bought an 3800mAh extended battery from aliexpress for just under 10$.
I must say that I'm amazed by the performance.
I have been using the phone heavily the past 3 days.
A little GPS navigation, talk time, browsing, etc.
Here's the link to the product and a few screenshots!
http://www.aliexpress.com/item/3800mAh-Extended-Battery-For-Samsung-Nexus-S-i9020-with-Battery-Cover-Free-Shipping/510912211.html
I highly recommend this product for heavy users.
The phone becomes a bit bulky but that's the price you have to pay.
I've now ordered the 2450mAh gold battery from aliexpress and installed a software called battery compare.
So I will run this with all my batterys and compare.
Mine nexus s battery is going down.I think i have to buy a new one.
Be carefull! http://www.geek.com/articles/mobile...hes-fire-destroys-a-nexus-s-20130325/ftjzlno/
well well, never buy from china
I would be interested to know the results of your battery comparison. I was just wondering whether I should get the extended battery with the bulging back or the 2450 battery.
I'd like to get an extra battery for my Camera 2, but it doesn't even appear that Samsung offers one. Anyone have any recommendations for a 3rd-party battery? I'd prefer to get one that comes with an external charger since I've been burned (literally) when charging 3rd-party Li-Ion batteries in my devices in the past.
Edit: I'm leaving this up because someone may find it of use, but I found the genuine Samsung BP2000 battery at B&H Photo for $30 along with the Samsung BC4GC2 charging cradle for $25. Even the 3rd-party batteries from China on eBay are $25. Don't know why the Samsung website doesn't sell its own batteries/chargers, but....
Excuse me as I reply to myself, but just to let everyone know the advertised OEM Samsung battery at B&H Photo is definitely the genuine thing, and despite reports to the contrary the Samsung battery charger does work with the BP2000 battery. Definitely a nice setup, and I'm glad I went this route. It's nice to have everything OEM and not too terribly expensive.

Thanks for looking into this! I just bought my fiancée this camera today and I was contemplating about getting an extra battery for her.

By the way, this is still working great. So much so that I bought a similar battery charger and extra batteries for my two sons' Galaxy S3 phones. It charges the battery quickly, and is a rather slick kit overall.
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.
Does this phone need more bulk?

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!

My bad bro, your right.
Anyone found where to buy a real, new, OEM battery made by Samsung? I haven't had much luck with battery life with aftermarket batteries.
Apart from carrier stores? Too many fakes out there IMO. I went with Anker, through their Amazon store and it's served me well up to today. (Not going to be used much in the near future because shamu )
Yea I'm a fan of Anker. Once mine needs a replacement, that's what I'll be getting.
I just bought an Anker a couple of months ago. Great replacement battery for my NOTE 2. Battery life is great.
I know this is a fairly old post, I bought a new OEM battery direct from Samsung for $24...I swear it lasts twice as long as the eBay knockoffs.
So...where? How? That's what the OP was asking. Provide a link.
And I'd like to know where to get a legit replacement stylus. The two I got from Ebay and Amazon were crap.
is it their link? Anker?
http://www.ianker.com/category-c62-s2-model-bid3-di57
I live in Italy and discovered Anker just seeing around Amazon.
I think it's a good product IMO and I think that if I have problems with my battery I'll change it with Anker's battery
I read a lot of people had problems with the Anker batteries swelling up and only lasting a few months before the battery life fell on its face.
You can go to samsung's website and buy the batteries right from them.
We were going to do that with our note 2's...but an OTA update killed my wife's phone so we decided to upgrade both phones.

hi people my 3100mAh battery need about 4 hours for full charge. is it normal? 1-100%

Unfortunately, this link is no longer valid. There are so many knock offs out there that I'm worried about buying from anyone other than Samsung. Not sure if they're genuine but there's the dock and battery combo on Amazon and Rakuten for slightly less.

Thanks for the info. How's the charge time, SOT and idle time? Is it comparable to the original battery? My original SDI (Samsung Korea manufactured) is still running strong after 3 years with 7 to 8 hrs SOT but I want to have a spare considering it's harder to find the older it gets.
Anyone going this route should take advantage of the 10% off or $5 off promos.

IMO...
...charge time is pretty good, "seems" a bit better than what I recall for the OEM Samsung battery.
...SOT is OK for what I use the phone for everyday, which is just as a phone/texting, some internet surfing, light video watching (kodi, slingtv, mlb.tv).
... idle time is pretty good. Some nights I go to bed at 100% and wake up 6-7 hours later and it's at 93%. My issue is the location of my router, so the wifi drops sometimes and toggles back and forth b/w wifi and 3/4G data while sleeping. Those mornings it's down into the 85% range.
As always, YMMV based on your config. I'm on Chaz's NE2 Classic Stock, with small mods for sd card r/w cache, adaway, TiB scheduled, etc.
Weird. I just looked at that Samsung battery a week or so ago.

I order battery on E-Bay for my n7100 i use to order MPJ 8500 mAh, this is good extended battery with lot of mAh this is my 2nd this i can recommend........!
I'm another Anker man, at least as good if not better than the stock battery.
