External battery charger

Can anyone recommend a decent external charger for the Desire HD battery? Thinking of getting a spare battery but want a way of charging outside the phone.
Cheers.

Have a look at this desktop cradle. I like its design:

that's for the Desire isn't it?

I guess it's better waiting until China DHD launches for good accessories

Yeah, you can usually find these things on eBay for pennies. Maybe in a week or two...

I have one of these that I occasionally use for my G1. It isnt amazing and charges very slowly, but with a high quality battery it should help a little on the go!

Do not you think a direct charger like Energizer XP8000 instead of externa battery charger?

Heres a review:
http://www.allaboutsymbian.com/reviews/item/12146_Proporta_USB_TurboCharger_5000.php

Did someone have ever used a charger like this?
http://www.a-solar.eu/EN/micro_charger_am500.htm
It's a solar portable charger with a battery of 1900mAh.
I'd like to buy it but I don't know where... do you know a online shop that sell it and send it in italy?
thanks

something like this?

0 feedback and 0 bids for a chinese seller is making me wary of ordering

I've gone for it, but with someone with feedback -
http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayISAPI....336224&ssPageName=STRK:MEWNX:IT#ht_3296wt_905
Will take about 3 weeks to get here though!

me too!

Ok I'm in as well

i found this one
ebay Item number: 120640014972 (new users aka me cannot post external links )
which is a battery powered portable charger rated at 5000maH and charges the battery in the phone.
that battery cover worries me so i dont want to have to open it too often. also it means you dont have to wait for the device to reboot. not sure how accurate that 5000mah is, but i should be able to fit that and my phone in my pocket for a couple of hours to charge.
not ideal, but i dont trust non-brand batteries, especially if im importing them from china since i have no legal comeback if it explodes in my phone because they are not a UK company.

This is the link -
http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayISAPI....e-All-Categories&_fvi=1&_rdc=1#ht_2465wt_1139
It does look really good actually. I like that you can charge two devices at one too. Anyone have any experience of these? I think I'll order one...

Mobilefun do one for around £20 that docks the phone and has a slot for a spare battery to charge aswell. Not in stock last I looked, but ill be buying one of those.

Thats because their advertised 2000 mah TP2 battery was around 1200mah in reality, 300mah less than the stock battery.
http://batteryboss.org/
If they haven't significantly stepped up quality from their TP2 days, then this 1850 battery will have significantly less capacity than the stock battery.

Ill try one

I have ordered and used mine for 3 days. Seems to last less than the stock OEM battery. I'm sticking with the Seidio 3300 mAh battery tho

I bought one and used it for a week. For 10 bucks its OK as a spare. I cannot tell any difference in endurance between this battery and stock.

Yep, didn't see much of any change good or bad. Decent spare for the price, that's about all.

i heard Yoobao had a great 2800mah battery that lasts for a very long time. its on ebay for $25 and i plan on getting one for my epic soon (when i get it )....

Is it at least a little heavier than the stock battery?

nope. a little under 4grams lighter

So this battery, after the mod, fits right into our G2's without having to use a different cover or anything?

I just took the red wrapper off of it and it fit snuggly

In terms of weight, does it change much? I'm thinking about picking up this battery if it's a drop-in replacement.

I just purchased, thanks.

Well, it's certainly cheap so might as well give it a try. I highly doubt it's even close to 1800mAh but hopefully it'll be more than 1300mAh and won't die after 50 cycles.

i wouldnt trust it since it from china, they been known to switch out label

Can you let us know what the battery life is like, compared to your normal battery, please? I am interested, but have heard too many tales of batteries that promise more but in fact deliver less. It would be great if this gave even 25% more over the standard battery!
Here's some independent testing that shows a lot of manufacturers claims aren't always that true:

After 1 day 4hrs I was still at 35% Not bad
View attachment 520358

thanks for the preview pic, on how to modify the battery. I purchased a battery for $5.98 USD! Cant wait to test it out.

Just curious but did you have your internet on the entire time you were doing the test run? I normally turn off my internet and activate it when needed, when I do that battery life for me is about 20 something hours, with mild usage (gaming and phone calling).

any more updates?

I just bought one. I will update you guys when i get it.

I ordered one. Wth for 8 bucks
From my permarooted overclocked HTC G2 with cyanogen 7 nightly via XDA app

I bought one from mugen site and it is awesome althought it is a little bit pricey but i think it worth. I charge it over night. Unplug it at 7 am and carry with me untill 10pm. My wireless was on the whole time. I have 3 email setup as default. Running sense ui so i believe there is some process running at the back ground. I only make about 30 min to 1 hour call. At 10 pm, i still have 35% life.

Well, too expensive

Just received mine. Removing the tab means it'll go into the space but it still won't fit quite right as the battery is slightly too thick for my cover to go back on.
I'll see if I can rectify this =/

Same problem here. If u take the red wrapper off i dont think it matters because the black plastic cheap outlined housing is the problem. I think i wasted 8 bucks
From my permarooted 1209mhz G2 with CM7 nightly 6

Yeah, I've taken the entire thing apart (piecemealed it together) now and while the cover will fit it still bulges out because the battery itself is a tad too thick.
It was a cheap experiment though so I'm not choked. The lesson here is that Incredible/Evo batteries don't fit our phones =(

I got a 3500 mah, for $17 shipped. arrived in two days.
the battery and back case is hard to tell hoe thick from the pictures, I'm guessing its 1/4" thicker than stock. no additional protection to the camera lens over stock, other than the shelf the extended case provides. it feels heavier, bit easier to hold than with the tiny stock battery case.
the mt4gs is nearing end of life for development, so ill use it until its damaged, then upgrade .
charged well, and then started it up yesterday morning around 6am. I'm now at 29%, with almost 31hours of use. yes, the graph is wrong, as I plugged it in to transfer 15-20 pictures to the Mac for however long that takes. that USB port is 1.1, so if you really want to figure how much juice it received, figure about 3 minutes plugged in....
the majority of time the phone had wifi and 3g/edge on, with poor reception.
this is virtuous v 1.3 and Gmail, contacts, calendar and g+ photos syncing running at 1.3ghz, "on demand" throttling.
again, currently I'm at 29% after 31hours.

A link of the battery, Back cover if any and a picture of the battery itself is a must if you want to share the info here with us.
Posting a screenshot of your phone's battery graph only and not even having the right values you stated won't be of any use for us.
So please if you want to share something please make it as detailed as possible in a way we could appreciate it

can't make the screenshot right, but my information corrected it. updated first post with screenshots and direct amazon link.

OK, I'm at 3%, after 35 hours , with no attempts at conserving at all. I've shot video, surfed, txt, all normal operations. with some simple conservation, I could squeeze 2 days easily. 3 would mean using airplane mode, or edge. this will be great for motocamping.

I would never be able to have a battery that thick for my phone, but cheers for the battery life

I have one of these batteries for my phone. If you haven't already figured it out, there's no way possible the original back door will fit with this battery, it's twice as thick as the OEM.

Beware: YESOO "2600mAh" S4 batteries are fake - only 2050mAh cells inside

Not much more to say, other than that these YESOO batteries are clear fakes. They've put 2600 mAh labels on 2050 mAh cells (as can be seen on the underlying cell itself).
I believe YESOO is re-using cells previously meant for the S3. In fact, if you Google that cell model number that I found under the sticker (SW-495060AR), you'll find a link back to a thread here on XDA where that same cell was used about a year ago in Hyperion S3 batteries: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=29855218&postcount=116
(I would emphasize that in that case, the S3 Hyperion cell was being sold as a 2100mAh cell, so it was entirely appropriate)

I got mine on eBay. The seller is clearly trying to jazz these up as if they're something on par with Anker, ZeroLemon, etc. They call themselves a "YESOO AUTHORIZED DEALER". I've alerted ebay, disputed the sale, left negative feedback, all that good stuff.
The posting of this "shame thread" on XDA is perhaps a better way to prevent people from getting taken in the future though. That negative feedback will be buried in a few days, but at least now if someone googles "YESOO S4 battery" before they click "buy" on eBay, they'll be alerted to the scam.

Thanks for the heads up! Am looking for a replacement battery myself and I will definitely avoid Yesoo.

Lmfao thats some real detective work. Those greedy probably had a bunch of batteries lying around and just wrapped a new label on them. They couldn't even black out the orginal label. Even though im not looking for batteries, you definitely get a thanks from me.

I know this is an old thread but I thought I'd reply in this one rather than clog the place up
Anyway just to let people know, I have recently purchased one of these yesoo batteries for a very reasonable price and it is currently performing a lot better than my original one ever did. Granted my original was one of the bad batch and after about 8 months began to swel and dramatically lose charge. Anyway just thought I'd let you know I've had 24 hours of use. About 9 of which were standyby and the rest had 48-55% screen on time.
P.s. I still have 26% charge left 25 after posting this lol.

Number 1 rule when buying from China is always expect less lol.
