time to buy another battery? original one already a year old...

[Touchpaddle]

I bought my VZW Galaxy Nexus on launch day last year.(received it two days after that)

It has been on the original battery ever since. I charge it every night, so that's already
365 cycles.(more or less)

Is it time to buy a new battery? I don't actually notice that much of a difference in
standby/talk time... however, the phone now rarely charges it to 100%. Usually
it hangs at 96% to 98%, no matter how many hours it's plugged into the charger.

Thanks!

At 98% unplug it and replug it in and see if it reaches 100% again.

I'd say if you don't notice the battery dying faster I wouldn't worry. I've had mine the same length of time and have the same thing happening. Hovers around 98-99% but it lasts me the same amount time.

A lot of us have secondary and even tertiary batteries

Get a 3800ma battery like the Hyperion or Trexcell (I have both). They cost around $20 on Amazon.
