I know accessories are scares for the asus transformer tablet, at least for the time being.
If you are not lucky if enough to have the dock, what options are available if you want to have an extra pack of batteries with you?
Doing searches on amazon leaves little to hope for...
Or perhaps a portalable charger might work too?
thanks
it's got a 8.5 hour battery life of actual use... i don't see battery being an issue, when it's in sleep it will obviously use considerably less power, i don't see myself having to charge this thing for 2-3 days, and i never intend to be without power for that long
I thought TF battery was not removable ala IPAD. 5V portable charger would take forever to charge our unit as TF charger is 15V? Under normal usage, I assume the battery would last all day.
OK I've seen it suggested in a couple threads but no one has outright confirmed this as far as I can find: Before I pull the trigger on the purchase of the Transformer can someone confirm if the primary battery in the tablet is or is not trickle charged from the docks/keyboard's battery when connected? Or does the battery on the dock only provide power to the system to keep it running?
I'm prob going to get the system anyways but it will determine if I get the dock now vs. later.
Thanks folks and again if there was a thread I didn't see it.
The battery in the Dock is charging the Tablet. When the Tab is under 90% and its docked you can see the charging sign on the Tab and the percents are going up.
Sorry for my bad (austrian) english

Much thanks! *head over to BBuy to pick up his Transformer*
Hi there guys (and gals)!
I recently bought a Trent iCruiser IMP1000 11000mAh External Battery pack and charger and didn't got my hands on it yet cuz it's at my friend abroad - but my question is: will it charge Transformer since I have read about differences in charging voltages or whatever. The manufacturer site claims it charges Samsung Galaxy Tab and other android tablets so will I get lucky?
Anyone with any experience using external battery packs?
Thanx in advance
Cheers!
Based on the specs, very slowly if at all. You need 11-15 volts to get the normal charge rate and this batteryonly puts out 5 volts.

Please see Devcake's thread for all the specifications you will need to get the right external battery pack.

Hello, all. I just picked up a dock from Best Buy last night and am having some interesting problems with it. When I first connect it to the Infinity, it always shows that it has 56% battery life. Then, after a few minutes, it shows 0% battery life, but still works fine (I'm typing this on it right now, as it says 0% battery life). I charged it over night (with the tablet docked), so I figured it would've charged completely (tablet was fully charged, as expected). I am on CleanROM 2.7.2, so part of me wonders if it's a ROM (or kernel) thing. Has anybody heard of this or had experience with it? What should I do to try to remedy the problem?
Thanks in advance for any insight!

Been charging all day... after searching, I decided to try a cold boot with the Infinity docked, which didn't work. I charged the dock and tablet together afterward, with the tablet powered off... tablet is showing 100%, dock still says 56%. Installed "dual battery meter" to see if it was an ASUS widget issue, but the aftermarket widget shows 56%, too.
Should I just suspect my dock is defective?

I think you got a bad dock and would take it back for exchange. I have had zero problems with my dock/keyboard. I unpackaged it, connected it to the tablet, plugged it in, both dock and tablet fully charged without issue.

Exchanged. New one is charging. I'll post back with results. Thanks for your insight!
Update: Charging light went green and the widget is showing the dock has a full charge. I guess I simply got a defective unit. Thanks again!

How much is it from Best buy? 149 $. Does it real t700 dock ?
I want dock too, but look ebay over 149
It is $149.99 at Best Buy. It is the TF700/TF201 dock (as opposed to the TF500/TF700 dock, which I believe is supposed to be forward compatible, but with no other differences in functionality).

one thing to note, although the battery in the dock can go completely dead, you will still be able to use the keyboard to type. It just wont charge your Infinity.

Will the dock cause increased battery drain on the Infinity if you use it when it's dead? (By the way, thanks for responding. I suspected that a dead dock was still usable, but had I known that, I'd have been more confident that my dock was defective from the start).
Hi everybody ... good evening ...
I just begun using my keyboard dock and since then I can get my tablet battery charged alone directly through its connector. There is USB connection and everything but charging the battery. What can this be?
Thank You all in advance.
