Generic battery that fits our Nexus

**herbmmm** · 01-04-2012, 04:04 PM

Has anyone found a source for a generic battery that fits our Nexus? I see lots of batteries for the Nexus Prime but none for our phone!

I don't know if this will be possible in the short-term considering the fact that the NFC functionality of the Galaxy Nexus is built into the battery.

Even if a third-party manufacturer ends up making a battery, I have a feeling that it would not provide the NFC functionality...at least not any time soon.

I know that Seidio has a super extended battery listed as coming soon. It will not support nfc either. But hey, it will be 3800 mAh

Why would you want a generic battery? The extended battery at vzw is! or at least was! 50% off ($25).

I know that from the CDMA version. The battery in the GN is exactly the same battery that goes into a GS2 for t-mobile.

Be careful buying a generic battery. Some of the hardware needed for nfc (used for Google wallet, etc) is actually inside the battery.

Exactly. That's were Samsung stuck us with buying expensive replacements.
