Well the official dock is often sold with interchangeable inserts one for the normal battery and one for the (im assuming official, when i comes out) extended battery

It has. Check the HTC Accessories site...

i will get the original cradle because of the great stylefactor. also the 3,5mm-jack is an argument for that cradle for those who need it.
the shop where i can order it wants 32€, way too much in my opinion, i will have to wait for cheaper times

it does seem too much in my opinion
but it also looks so sexyyyy lol

Yup, quite sexy. Unfortunately it's also wasting a lot of space on the desk - I doubt I'll buy it.

which shop?

german distributor shop where i can order it (i have a little job in the business...)

I have a third party desktopcharger, made by Veripart.
costs 39euro and it has a slot for extra battery to charge.
it looks good and works great. worth every euro it costs

i'd pay up to 30€ for it.. too bad it costs more.

@ diamondMflexx
pictures pictures please

Here's a review (in Dutch) of the Veripart Cradle with extra battery slot, including pictures.

anybody know of a place where i can get an extra battery and cradle together for a discounted price..?

Similar 1200mah
I bought a similar looking 1200mah standard size battery where I live in Taiwan and it does seem to offer some additional battery life. I would estimate about +10%. If this is for real could be even better.

second buyer as the diamond in assistance, he does not know if the battery is better

25€ ?!? of course this is fake, don't buy it

hm, there are about 14 buyers where only one buyer has left a negative review (but I dont know for what reason cause I dont understand italian)....
has someone from this board ordered one? if so, check the battery capacity with powerguard...
best regards

IT means it's of the lowest quality, not according to description

I contacted some users who had bought this battery: everybody told me the battery has NOT a longer duration than the original...
forget this item

How do I switch to English? If it's possible.

That's what I plan on doing as well. Waiting for the charging dock....

Got my spare yesterday, along with this dock from Hong Kong. The dock isn't the most glamorous but it works, and came with a 1500mAh AC adapter. Having a spare battery let me really see how long this thing could go... had it off the charger at 9AM, about two hours of internet browsing, one ~20 minute phone call with mixed reception (E/3G, sometimes 0 bars), and a little better than 6 hours of music playback. At 9PM I swapped the battery, it still had 13% remaining... My G1 would have crapped out a long time before that.

i'm assuming these are the standard batteries, not extended life versions?

Yes, the same as what is shipped with the phone, though for only $25, it sure beats the 1600mAh that Sedio offers at $55 +shipping...

I don't know why you guys don't buy this one:
http://4u-kidi.com/info.php?itno=5571
It cheap and works like the original one. Before nexus one I used similar for my G1. And worked beautifully. And free shipping!
Just a thought.
by the way I bought also this DOCK. It's free shipping also, and cheapest on the market.
http://www.dealextreme.com/details.dx/sku.34205

This dock is linked on the previous page for a couple of bucks less.... very funny dealextreme listing though... got me laughing... "AC/USB powered design brings more convenient" LOL

Haha

ddoughty, appreciate the backup but he's right. I thought I was posting fresh news and didn't follow proper protocol to check first before posting.
not sure why this thread got so much more attention, except maybe I used a bit more of a descriptive thread title.

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.

yeah im also looking for a good external charger.. anyone have suggestions?

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?

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

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!

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

Sent from my SPH-D700 using XDA App

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
