I refuse to spend $50 on a simple spare battery + charger. Absolute ludicrous price gouging there by Samsung
What other options are available?
Edit: I found this one which features 2 batteries + charger for $20 by Onite, but I've never heard of them before. Anyone have any experience with Onite batteries?

I would go with this and this.
What do you guys think of this one. Its a bit more pricey than I'd like but comes with a lot of stuff. http://www.amazon.com/EZOPower-Desktop-Standard-GT-I9500-T-Mobile/dp/B00CGVEMPA/ref=wl_it_dp_o_pC_nS_nC?ie=UTF8&colid=104T09TVBE5XW&coliid=I1T55ADDZJSQ31

Thanks JCreazy :good:
I had already seen the Anker battery by itself (a brand I'm much more familiar with) and didn't know they had a universal charger as well. Done and purchased :victory:
How about this?
http://www.uboc411.com/
+1 on the Anker. I have a charger + 2 battery combo for my old Atrix and have had not issues with it. However, there a couple of things to note on the charger. It'll take forever to charge your battery on both the USB and battery charger. Both are rated at 600mA output as opposed to our 2A chargers that came with the phone. Not a big deal for me since I charge the dead spare over night and have the phone plugged into the cable. I attached a photo of the Anker charger's back/side. One USB, One Micro USB and the power ratings.

http://cgi.ebay.at/externer-Akku-f-...photoQQcmdZViewItemQQ_trksidZp1713.m153.l1262
i can fully charging my diamond two times
there is a battery that gives you a extra 100 mah but don't know where to find it anymore however.
I'm using the officiele batterypack from htc it self.
2600 mah. it's not so much as other ones but thisone gives you de double amp, the same as your phone adaptor. Most of them give only 500 like a usb port.

MugenPower 1000mAh for Touch Diamond: same size as the 900mAh, no need for special cover ... MugenPower are known for high quality batteries -- I for one have their 3000mAh version for the Diamond. I don't trust no-name batts, especially off ebay (and I do a lot of ebay shopping).

i ended up buying an original HTC battery as a back up, from ebay for £7
Hey,
got them yesterday, using one today. Hard to compare something with flashing new ROMs etc., but they seem at least not worse then the original one

Have a look at item-no: 220816973218 at ebay.de
The price is amazing and they arrived during one week. They use 4.2V instead of 3.7, hope that is not damaging the Sensation but I saw this voltage at other batteries as well.
When phone is off, not hibernate, LED stays orange even when fully charged.
So after one day of using I would recommend this anyway.
Edit: brand is GaliliO
I think this is more like 1400mah than 2500...
Take it to some electronic shop and get it tested while it's fully charged. Youw ill see most of these will not come over 1200 yet alone 2000.

I know these specs are most likely not to be true. Anyway, the batteries are still not worse then the original one, I think even a bit better, and maybe they are getting even better with a few charging cycles. That still has to be determined.
Anyway, the price is still amazing for 2 batteries with charger, even with only 1400mAh which has been not proven, yet.
I would not believe that they are really 2500 mAh. If you are lucky they will not die soon. Usually if I buy a chinese battery they don't last long.
well, you can moan all you want about those chinese batteries... they still work great and last about twice as long as the stock one. Also the LED problem has resolved itself, but that was probably a problem with CWM, anyway.

Found this on Newegg - its an OEM Thunderbolt Battery straight from Verizon themselves and is only $20.
Enjoy

Thanks for sharing but unfortantly for me it is the 1400 mAh , battery sucks for time use.
I purchased the 1800 mAh from nepsoulja on eBay, 2 for just a hair over $10 and gets me 18 hours + with hard use. (comes with a charger too.) Been using it for a few months now and no problems.

Eh, I just posted it because people were wondering where a good, credible place to get them were.

I just won an auction from the same guy for the 2 1800mah batteries and an external charger for $9.75 including shipping . I guess after a week or so I can report back on the quality.

Sounds pretty slick, although how can you be sure it's not a knock off. You don't want to get screwed over with batteries..

I bought the extended battery direct from a Verizon store for 26 a couple weeks ago.

Alright, I know I mentioned this in my other reviews, so here it is!
The Titan, aka THE BEAST!
Features 5 quick charge 2.0 ports for up to 90 watts and 10Amps of charging madness!
Look/Feel
First impressions were very good. The charger was packed well with itself and a power cord. Unfortunately it did not come with any usb cords like the other models. I am sure this is so they can keep it priced lower. I have a billion laying around now, so no bog deal. Like the others, the actual charger has a good sturdy feel and seems to be made well and out of quality materials. The black and green colors are nice to look at. It's even smaller than i imagined, so that's a plus for portability.
I have a family of five, so packing a bunch of chargers to go on trips is a pain. This IS the fix.
Performance
The two phones I own that accept quick charging immediately recognized the charger and indicated the phones were “Fast Charging” just like with the OEM units. I tried three different phones and using the Tronsmart voltage tester, I recorded the following volts/amps with the screen off.
- LG v10 :9.09V/1.24A
- Samsung Note 4:**8.97V/1.23A
- Moto Droid Mini:***5.30V/1.36A
So the charger with Volt IQ did a good job of recognizing the phone and applying an appropriate amount of power. The volts/amps fluctuated a bit, but were right about where they were with the dual port model I have. There are a lot of variables with apps running, sleep mode, and the v10's second screen always on. Still on par or better than the OEM model.
Overall impressions are excellent. It is well made, did not get hot, performs great and looks nice.I can't wait to take this beast on a trip and avoid all the clutter. I will probably pick up a handful of 1 ft ft usb cords to go along with it.
Amazon reviews are great on it as well. Take a look.

Apparently Google does not sell the charger with detachable cable that came with my Nexus 6P. Shame on you Google. I did however find an alternative and potentially even the exact charger just re-branded. @$22 USD including a C to C cable is not bad.
Not posting the actual link because I don't want the thread deleted for advertising but to the right is a link for the product comparison, they appear to be the exact same. Comparison Review Here

Mine is arriving tomorrow. I can't believe Google doesn't sell it. Excited to have a second rapid charged though. Regular chargers take forever
There is another one that is almost the same as that one and I've heard it gets super hot while charging. This one stays room temp charging or not.
Received mine yesterday from Amazon. Visually (besides light watermark branding) these two are indeed indistinguishable and perform the same as well. I cannot recommend this enough to anyone in need of a second and safe charger.
Has anyone seen an EU version of this charger?
I would buy one of these if Amazon Spain sell it...

Same doubt here.
Would buy a handful of these if i could find an AU model... (Type I )
The CHOETECH one is also highly rated but I won't elaborate on that because that is OT
