Where can I get a dock charger for my 3500mah battery?

I've purchased two 3500mah batteries off ebay and would like to have some sort of dock charger so I can just charge one of the batteries while my phone is using the other one. Can someone point me in the right direction? Thanks.

Did u try wirelessground.com?

Yea, but I'm only seeing a dock charger for the phone itself. I need one for a 3500mah battery.

and it has a slot for a 2nd battery...sooo cool

I bought a 3500mAH battery and external battery charger from Amazon. The external charger plugs into 120VAC, has a 5V USB output and a charge indicator which indicates when the battery is fully charged.
Here's Amazon.com pages for just the charger:

http://www.amazon.com/Battery-Deskt...QF2G/ref=sr_1_2?ie=UTF8&qid=1324233626&sr=8-2

I never charge my phone anymore, just switch out batteries using external charger

Have to make sure you get a charger that takes the battery right0side up (same way it goes into the phone)... On my Vibrant, I had the official Samsung spare battery charger, and it took the battery upside down. Which meant that the contacts on any extended battery wouldn't match up as the battery is too thick.
EDIT: Oh yeah, this might should be in the accessories forum....

Any micro usb charger is fine including the wall charger that came with the phone.

but all cables are not equal. I lose 1% every ten minutes at dimmest brightness using google maps through gps and playing music while in my car charger.
This is with a generic usb to micro cable from the dollar store. OEM htc/smasung cables yield positive charge in the same ten minute span with the same charger and apps running.

This is with an extended battery using a usb to micro car charger that u lose 1% every ten min?

Your stock charger will be fine. If you are using any other charger or car charger make sure it is rated at 1A. Otherwise you will see very slow charging and/or the inability for your phone to keep up with discharge while using apps that discharge the battery quickly. (ie maps or navigation)

regular charger should be fine

New battery charger

Hello,
my battery charger stopped working and i need a new one. I read a few review and i'm a bit confuesd, not every chargers with the capability to deliver 1000mAh works with every device. So which one oft them works with the desire s and delivers 1000mAh and not just 500mAh?

just buy a oem wall charger ,, easily found on ebay and also cheap

does it has any difference between 1000 and 500mah chargers? now i'm using original liveview charger with 500mah on it but also have 1A iPhone charger.

Overheating
im using an old S2 charger i think, its got an output of 5V, 0.7 amps and after flashing a costom rom, jellyfirebean im getting serious overheating issues, but only while charging with the phone on.

Double that. Overheating can be only caused by the phone itself, or a defected battery (means it is near death, but for serius heating, you will notice like 1hrs of battery life for the phone).
On another note for the topic. I use 3 type of chargers for my phones:
At home my ASUS tab's one (which is rated 5V 1A at the standard USB, plus the extra for the dock, but it is ASUS specific), at work an old ZTE "dumbphone" charger (which is rated 5V 0.75A, and is a high frequency switching type, so really energy-efficient) and for any other my old SE X8's one, which is 5V 650mA (which is also switching type). Also dedicated charger cables, 1 nokia, 1 SE, 1 HTC and 1 ZTE at my car.
The phone's original 5V 1A is NRFB at the box of the phone, but I have a security backup Samsung charger (rated 5V 500mA and pass-trough type, so not really efficient, but stable) which works just fine. The S is not capable (or not enabled just yet) of fast charge mode AFAIK so no really chance for 500mA or more when charging (even when GPS and 3G on, and screen on max, which is aroung 430mA when I last measued it with a service cable).

reporting back
yeah i can confirm it was the 2 year old htc battery
i am now using 2 anker 1600mah batterys and they last a LOT longer + come with an enternal charger so i always have one charged, it also charges the old htc battery too externally so i can now use 3 battieries mwahahahaa
note i did have to delete battery stats in cwm to recalibrate

Best spare battery wall charger?

I have a spare Anker 2600 mAh batter that I've been using which came with the Anker wall charger, however I'm not impressed by the quality or rate of charging. Do you guys have any other alternatives for travel/wall chargers for spare batteries?
Thanks,

Anything that delivers a true 2A (2 amps) is all you need. Search this sub-forum for titles including the word "charger" and you'll find a few recommendations.

I had the anker that came with 2 batteries and the wall charger but HATED the charger. Ended up getting the oem Samsung extra battery plus charger. Charger is nice because it isn't attached to the ac plug. Plugs into wall has like 2 foot wire then you can rest the external charger on a flat surface. Yeah more expensive but realisticlly I don't need more than 2 batteries and the quality
of the charger is superb.

I have the same Anker charger. That things takes a long long time to charge
batterys.
However I have gotten used to the 10hours+ charge rate. I heard its a lot more gentle on the batterys.
One of my original Samsung batterys failed and I had to get it replaced using the 2 amp charger.

What are the specs of the charger?

Anker Galaxy Note 4 Batteries w/Travel Charger Review

http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00Q4NQQA0 $22.99
Anker sent me a replacement battery for my Galaxy Note 4 last week (which I did a separate review for). To summarize, the batteries are identical to the OEM Samsung 3220mAh batteries that come with the phone. My one "con" which I sent to Anker was that I wish it came with an external battery charger... so one is in your phone, and the other is plugged into the charger in the wall getting juiced up.
Well... I was real happy when they offered to send me a new setup... this one with (2) replacement 3220mAh batteries, and a external wall charger! I now have 4 separate batteries for my phone (the 2 new ones, the one Anker sent me last week, and my original Samsung battery). Having the external charger is awesome! I love having all my batteries juiced and ready to go.
The external charger works as advertised... and even has a 5V USB port, so as your battery is charging in the wall, you can plug in a MicroUSB cable and charge your the battery inside the phone at the same time! Set it up at night before bed, and both batteries will be fully charged in the morning. When charging the light on the travel charger is somewhat purple-ish. When fully charged it turns blue.
NFC does work with these batteries! I only was able to test it with my Google Cardboard device with NFC chip.
A complete charge in this external charger takes about 2 hours. The batteries are rated for 500 charging cycles...so they will last a long, long time.
Anker has an amazing 18 month no hassle warranty... and they have been around a while!

The last Anker Batteries I bought for my Note 2 swelled up and got so fat I had trouble installing the back cover. This happened after only a few months use. I did have Anker batteries before that did not swell. How long have you used these?

This happened to me on my S4, 6 months after I bought the batteries. Anker replaced them for me right away. The new ones still haven't swelled and it's been like a whole another year now. They do honor that warranty, and they honor it quickly.

Not positive but they should be able to. If Samsung's charging method works similar to Qualcomm's, the battery shouldn't matter as long as it's the same size. It just sends full amperage to the li ion cells until ~50%, then they use some magic balancing circuit to even the state of charge of the cells as it goes through the last stage of charging.

I have 3 of these batteries like I mention in my OP... and I have been swapping through them routinely . No issues yet. They do fast charge using the original Samsung power adapter. Anker is sending me a brand new quick charger they just released for me to test out and review.
I am posting the info below... but I cannot endorse it yet, as I have not yet received it. I should have it on Monday (tomorrow) and will post back here on how it works.

Seems like they have good amazon reviews but I've never heard of them. Anker has been around for awhile and has prime shipping.

GOOD QUESTION... And the answer is... I dunno!
The Anker battery is .9wH (Watt-hours) higher than the TrendOn battery. I my understanding and experience is that the higher the Watt-Hours the better. The Anker battery is also a few $$$ cheaper. I have been using Anker products (especially batteries) for a long time, so I given a choice, I will always choose the Anker brand. They both offer the same warranty.
You are probably good with either way you go.
