Nexus 10 replacement battery vs. external battery pack

[Duane Whitney]

The battery in my Nexus 10 tablet is quickly dying, and I haven't found any reputable sites with a replacement. Out of stock. There is one seller on amazon, but looks like some people have gotten old, used batteries. And some on ebay selling for 200 Euros.

Could I use an external battery pack, normally used for charging devices, ? Would a bad internal battery would shorten the life of an external battery pack? Or could I remove the internal battery and just use an external battery pack (not sure if the voltage would adjust to the proper level--the packs say they do)? Another option might be to use a Samsung Galaxy battery, but has a slightly lower capacity and not sure it's physically the same size.

Thanks!

Duane.

You can use the battery pack without any issues. There are a lot of good options available, and plenty sold at good prices so keep an eye out.

Thanks! Is there a certain capacity I should be looking for? Seems to be some reasonably priced ones in the 10000 to 16000 mAh range. The nexus 10 has a 9000 mAh battery.
