Extended battery worth it?

[anthony1117]

Hi, Iwas thinking about purchasing the eextended battery, they are only like 30 bucks. But is buying it worth it. I have to charge mine about twice a day. I listen to music and would say I use it moderate to heavy amount. So if I get this battery will it make it throughout the whole day or will I be disappointed with the 30$ bucks I dropped on it?

If you charge twice a day now... then no.... the extended battery won't make it through the day....
Its only about 15% larger

sent from a Nexus, nothing less will do...

I got the mammoth Hyperion battery 3800mAh from Amazon for $20 plus shipping. I only use it on weekends, as during the week I am always near a charger so I use the stock battery. The back cover is pretty cheap and mine does not lock in properly all the time but for the price I won't complain. Personally I did not seeing the 2200mAh worth it for me.

It's not worth it in the sense that's it only slightly larger.. It may be worth it as a backup battery. I keep a spare battery in my wallet at all times, since my nexus gets HORRIBLE battery life. You can get something like this:

2X 1980mAh Battery Charger for Verizon Samsung Galaxy Nexus i515 SCH I515 | eBay

but honestly, those batteries suck, and will not last for very long, but it's probably worth it just for the battery charger. I like to just be able to swap batteries instead of being tethered to a wall.
