Anyone know where to get a spare OEM battery and a proper charger to charge just the battery? I plan to charge phone with stock charger but want to charge a spare battery in a separate unit.

Picked up a spare battery charger on eBay when my charging port took a crap. $6 shipped. Not sure how long it'll last but my N1 is dying a slow death anyway. Hopefully I can get a few more months out of it.
hello,
I have recently bought an htc desire battery charger and an extra battery from ebay , both are suppose to be genuine products.
well, the situation goes like this:
the battery charger charge only my original battery (blinks with a white led)
but doesn't charge the second battery (lights a red led).
however, when I charge the batteries with my phone , both get charged just fine.
I'm not sure if the problem is with the charger or the battery , but I think it's the battery fault.
does the htc C410 battery charger can identify and charge only genuine htc batteries? did some one got that same issue?
is there a way to find out if a battery is genuine or not?
and is there something I can do with the charger so it can charge both batteries ? because right now it's pretty lame....
thx, Nitzan
Hi, I bought on ebay a wall battery charger to charge a spare original battery I have for my HTC Desire HD, and after being pluged in for about one minute it did blown up. I thought that for very little money that cost it was worth to try...
I can't see any other chargers rather than those chinese made battery chargers. Do anybody know if there is a quality original charger from another HTC model or another brand that I can use to charge my spare battery?
Thanks
Got my money back from the ebay seller. I sent the charger with an prepaid envelope sent from the seller.
I just order this cradle that should charge my 2nd battery. I'll post how it goes...

How literally do you mean "blown up"... the battery exploded? The charger exploded?
I bought one of these from Amazon:

But they wouldn't ship outside of the USA so I ended up going to the US/Canada border to pick it up. You can move the charge pins to suite nearly any possible cell phone battery. I've used it on the batteries of my Nexus One, Milestone, Razr, digital camera, you name it. What I don't know is how to get one of these shipped to any other country
Interesting accessories
google momax...they r from hong kong. Get direct from them not from ebay. They also make batt.

i am going on a travel abroad... will be using camera and camcorder a lot and wifi.... what do you recommend? a portable charger or extended battery? i want a cheap solution..preferably available from ebay
budget : not more than $30-34
extended battery
Battery will do better
I've just come back from holiday and had a portable charger. It was useful, but I often found that the battery would hardly last the day and there wouldnt be any place to charge it (you don't really want to be back in your hotel when you could be out sight seeing). Rather than trying to find a socket, I'd just get an extended battery. You can just swap it over and continue your fun rather than rooting around for power.
if i buy an extended battery i need to also buy a seperate battery charger so that i can charge the 2 batteries at the same time
it depnds how you'll spend your time.
but you can swap the battaries on the phone to charge them.
Normally charging the battary will last 1 hour.
again it depnds about the places you'll visit.
How many mAh are you planning on using per day? An extended battery will give you 3000mAh compared to the 1400mAh on the original battery. A decent portable charger will give you 5000mAh.
The only down side of using the portable charger is waiting for the battery to charge, most will do that at 500mAh so 3 hours to totally charge the normal desire battery from flat. However while the extended life battery has died the charger will still have about 1.5 charges left in it.
1 thing to point out unless you get a solar charger some portable charges will only charge from USB so make sure you have a way to charge that when out and about
I would get the potable charger (and remember to put it on charge when you have a spare min throughout the day) as when you replace your phone you cant really do much with the extended battery with your new phone, least the portable charger can be used over and over again.
i finally opted for a spare battery solution. I bought an oem battery for desire/nexus one. and i will buy a battery charger so that i can charge both batteries when i go to sleep so that they are both ready the next day
Get a portable charger instead. Taking the battery in and out can wear off the back lid easily.
Get a big battery, it's better than changing between batteries. As well you have to carry the portable charger when you travel. And you have to charge it, too.
So the extended battery should last one day (except you use GPS all time) and you can charge phone when you sleep.
I use a proporta turbocharger and I found it more usefull 'cause I can spare it with my friends with Desire HD, iPhone 4 and LG Optimus 7: with 2 of this we managed to stay all charged all day long and recharged both of them in hotel during the night.
For a trip is a Extended 3000mAh Li-Ion Battery a good solution. It comes with battery cover. Price about 25 $
For the daily use, its too big for me.

Extended battery for sure.
can aosp/sense kernel recognize bigger extended battery? afaik, there is a problem when charging bigger extended battery.
in my personal opinion, the standard battery (htc original) is much better than other and my desire remain slim. and if i travel, i prefer to use big portable charger to charge the handset when is not used. and charge them both when i sleep.
Most batteries with lots of ampere just have them as a tag... Check this site for information:

I suggest you buy another original battery as from time any battery will lose capacity and this way you are flexible.
To charge you can buy a cable designed for charging the smartphone from your car e.g. HTC CC-C200 or the car dock from my signature.
Why you should use this: The data line is used for power and not for data and therefor the charger is recognized as a wall charger, not as usb cable. Thus recharge is lots faster (with 1000 mAh) than with any 3rd party charger/cable with 500 mAh although the charger itself could give you 1000 mAh (USB specifications!).
I'd go with an portable charger because you don't acutally need to restart your phone when plugin it in.

If one is in a sunny place would it not be better to use Solar Charger?
solar charging is super slow

Thank you very much for the info.
I use a car charger (not HTC) which gives 1000 mAh and even with the original cable that came with desire, charging is slow. If I get this right, it is fault of the cable, right?

I suppose, best is you try it yourself - maybe a mate got one. As you may know USB allows only 500 mAh, using that secial cables that don't comply with USB (as they only charge) the producer can avoid this restriction.
Hey guys, if i buy just one anker battery do i need that wall charger for it? Or can i just use my wire to still charge it?
Your original phone charger can still charge it, no worries.
Ok cool
