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.

if you need any help message me.

Pretty nice, Though I would toss in a battery or capacitor for more stable voltage.
Toss in a few more panels and you could get 12v going.
12v with 1a could easily power a decent powered T-AMP

Nice.

That's so awesome.... I'll try it one day....

Already have another panel charging a 12volt 7amp battery all day, this panel was made to directly charge my devices from the sun.

Wow this does look awesome maybe with some nice casing you could have a really good home made product here, any idea on how long the battery takes to charge?

When charging direct from sunlight it charges the same as your standard 1amp plug would sometimes a little faster, so from 0=100% in a couple of hours if there's good sunlight.
In dull sunlight its a bit slower but still gets the job done.
I also applied 3 suction cups to the top on the board so i can pin it to the window.

That's a good idea I will have to try this out soon so hi might be getting a pm for help
This would be a good idea for camping where there's not always a power sauce

Anywhere to buy a charger for the TP?

Hey guys, I have broken my charger that came with the TP, and my phone charger that only outputs 0.5V doesn't do the job. I've been looking a for replacement but I haven't been too successful finding one, and especially one that ships to Canada. I would prefer the official charger as I would think that it'd be the most efficient way to go, and but if there's a charger that does a better job, and I'm open to it!
I was wondering if anyone could point me in the direction where I could find one, and one that is easy on the wallet would be bonus!
Thanks in advance,
Regards. :good:

I buy a lot of computer, fishing and photography stuff on eBay. So far I haven't been burnt. The seller has to have over 1000 transactions and a rating over 99% before I buy from them.

radioshack, best buy, fry's, office depot, office max, hell wall mart probably has one that will work.

Loads of third party ones will work, but the Touchpad will only charge properly with an official one, limited to half speed otherwise I think.

I accidentally threw mine away I bought a replacement from eBay and it works great its just like the original

If you are going to buy a new charger, I'd consider the Touchpad wireless charger. I think you can find them for around $30, and it's awesome.
Also, I bought one of these, and it works fine for charging the Touchpad and everything else I have.

if you still have your usb cable then you can buy just about any tablet charger, even one for an ipad as long as its just the 'brick' portion, or one from a samsung or asus tab....you just need the volts & amps to match up

I see in your photo you've got an international guenine charger. Could you told me if in this one you've got multiple wall adaptator??
I'm french and I'm seeking for an EU charger, very difficult to find today.
I'm seeking an adaptator with 2 round connection.
Do you have this in your package???

All UK Touchpads came with the EU adapter. I swapped my EU one for a spare UK one with someone in the EU, could you not do similar?

Blue LED Charging Cable!

Had to share this with my fellow S4 owners! If you're running a Holo theme this charger will go perfect with it, and even if you're not you're probably gonna wanna buy this! Haha. Picture don't do it justice so I had to make a video.
VIDEO// http://youtu.be/iPHHMx3ipas
PURCHASE// White // Black
EDIT: The video doesn't show it, but the LEDs are stagnant when plugged in, but then once plugged into the phone they start moving making it look like they're going into the phone powering it up. Haha.

What's the charging rate with this cable (use "Galaxy Charging Current" for example).

Yeah I'd like to know the charging rate too?

Using Galaxy Charging Lite I got many different speeds using different power adapters as this is just a USB sync cable, sorry. I shouldn't have said "charger". Using my Anker battery charger I got 440 and 660 with, then using an Apple one plugged into a standard socket I got 1000.

ORZLY USB A to USB C Cable Set

I thought I'd share as they finally got delivered. Still says it will be delivered on the 13TH of next month...
Orzly® Multi-Colour Value Pack of USB 2.0 Type C (USB-C) to Type A (USB-A) Cables (1M) for use with OnePlus 2, Nokia N1 Tablet, Lenovo Zuk Z1, and Other Type-C Supported Smartphones & Tablets https://www.amazon.com/dp/B013RMG5WY/
They are USB 2.0, but I know I'll need some spare cables at home, in the car and at work.
The cables are much nicer than I thought it would be for this price. They actually are a beautiful color with a clear surrounding on them as you can see in the pictures. The end all have this really nice speckled metallic appearance. The connectors look like they're pretty well made and nothing feels cheap. I will say the cables themselves are a little floppier that I was expecting but I've noticed this from flat cables a lot more.
Only cost me $19 for the 4 cables. Let me know if you guys have any questions, I'll answer what I can.

I was just looking at these on Amazon untill I read a review some guy said they only charge at 500mA max so idk

They may, but I don't care, that's why they are spares. I've got a few others on the way and one of the dual port ones from Google work the long cable.

thanks these will probably work great for a nice slow trickle charge through usb at work!

That's what I was thinking, when you can't find your good cable and need something to keep it alive, or have to move some files or pictures at work.

I have these but haven't used then yet. They feel very cheap to me. I don't expect more than 500mA. I'm sure they'll be great for a trickle charge until they fall apart. I expect to keep them for that reason only, even if they only last 6 months.

Yeah, I could barely care if I lose one, just a spare. I didn't think they felt super cheap though. Did you get the same colors?
