Where is the best place to get a spare battery for my PDA2K in the UK?
Also, does it have a 'backup' battery like my 2210 had? How long will I have if I take my main battery out before I replace it with another one?
we have 2x genuine batteries for the PDA2K XDA2s, we also have 3x dektop stands 2x 2amp mains adapters, and about 6 stylus all new and unused with soon changed the XDA2i so never got to use any of the 2s spairs we got

With my TYTN, I carried an extra battery with me so it's not a big deal to me to have to carry it. But HD's battery cover is different and I think to remove it a couple times a day bugs me a bit.
Should I just get an extra battery and stand alone battery charger or one of these that uses AA (rechargable, too) batteries?
It's not as portable as a HD battery but I don't have to touch the cover...
the cover has been very durable for me... i have an extra battery that i swap out from time to time and i have yet to have a problem. also invested in this portable charging device that's been working as advertised.

I just bought a 1500 mAh spare battery. Seems to me to be more convenient for carrying and I don't mind the swapping. I got the desktop cradle from before, so now I can just slip the spare battery into it and have it charge without being in the phone.

Yeah I guess an extra battery is the way to go. Besides I don't want to totally wear out my main battery. But portable charger does look interesting though and its sexier than the AA charger.
Where did everyone get their extra batt? Ebay?
don't go for a portable AA charger unless it says it's definitely TOuch HD compatible. I picked up a Energizer MiniUSB AA charger and it doesn't work with the HD... Worked fine with the X1 (switched off) though.
i got one from thinkgeek.com for like 20 bucks or so. i just throw a duracell rechargable 2400mAh battery in it and it works great whenever i need extra power. it also comes with tons of different adapters to fit most phones.
I bought my spare 1500 battery from Mugen power and it cost me 30$. You can find much cheaper batteries online, but Mugen seems to be a very reliable company with good customer reviews, so I didn't hesitate to pay extra for the safety.
I can also say the same for some of the gadgets people have mentioned here. While they're temptingly cheap and good looking, I would always do my homework and check online for reviews before plugging any electrical device into my Touch HD. One bad circuit in those portable chargers and it might as well end up being "bye-bye" to your phone.
This is especially important when buying stuff from China.
Yeah, I was thinking about either getting a legit battery or ebay batteries. I've read on an NYTimes article recently that a battery costs like $2 max to make. So if I pay $10 for a battery, they are still making a large profit.
Anyways, I'll probably end up getting the $30 batt.

Ah, well... You know that all parts needed to make iPhone cost like 50-60$, yet the final product will usually cost you 15 times more. That's just the way it is with everything, especially when it comes to gadgets.
God save the market shares of western-world companies once Chinese figure out how to make good high-tech devices. It's already happening on smaller scale.
Hi,
I do not like the battery life of my HTC TD2 and want to buy spare battery.
However on the HTC site only spare battery is provided without additional charger.
On the other hand is mother Ebay. $20 for charger +2 batteries + screen cover.
(Yes, I know it is quite suspicous regarding the price. But guys, do you think that these powersellers will sell something so untested...)
Has anyone tried such cheap batteries from ebay?
Or has anyone tried this set??
Update on AT&T Tilt2 Charger and Spare Battery, 1750mAh.
This is what I have. Bought the Seidio 1750mAh battery and the spare battery charger from Naked Cell Phone. Bought both a couple of weeks ago and no problems to this date. I would make sure the battery charger you get has the 4 prong connection, NOT the 2 prong. Not sure what real difference it makes just more precautionary.
I have heard good results with BoxWave too. I got this same model charger at Naked Cell Phone Store on eBay for $32, for some reason they are out of stock right now.

http://stores.ebay.com/nakedcellpho...18QQ_sidZ395054398QQ_trksidZp4634Q2ec0Q2em322
This is the battery I have. Bought it from WMExperts Store, again no issues or problems. Even though did not pay for any special shipping I got this stuff and some car adapters in about 3 days. I did pay $50 for the 1750mAh battery.

I'm interested to see how this battery holds up.
What do you mean when you say "4 prong connection" when you mentioned the charger? All the chargers I've seen only have 2 prongs and US outlets only have 3 prongs.
On the battery end...
He is talking about a charger to use with batteries NOT in the phone. I.E. swap out batteries kind of thing.
The 4-connection vs 2-connection is quite simple. The 4-connection can balance the cells in the battery. The 2-connection just dumps a charge in. 4-connection is better, assuming the charger actually bothers to balance the cells.
If you don't mind I'd like to plug my third party battery investigation thread...
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=590815
On a mission to aggregate feedback on third party batteries from threads like this and to test the batteries myself so we all can have a more reliable source of information on the veracity of mAh claims of these mysterious batteries. Could use your participation.

I am going to be traveling in the next couple of weeks and there will be several days that I am nowhere near a charger for 12+ hours. My Note has been really good with the battery with moderate use but the area I am going to has LTE so I plan to play around a bit. I figured it would be best to purchase a spare battery now and then take that with me so I am not running into any problems. Does anyone have any suggestions on a good spare battery? I know there are plenty of off-brand batteries on Amazon and eBay. Would it be better to get a Samsung official battery or has anyone had good success with any of those off-brands?
Thanks!
I bought Samsung "Spare Battery Charging System". Included battery, carry/charge case, micro-USB cable and Charger. Case doubles as stand for portrait /landscape viewing. Phone does not charge via stand, only spare battery charges.
$49.00 at AT&T. Good value, IMO.
I have been very happy with the Hyperion 2600mah 2pk with charger on Amazon for under $28. I believe they sell the batt separately also. Battery life is comparable to the oem batt and as an added bonus....it recharges faster for some unknown reason. Highly recommended...really.

Do you have a link to that product? I am searching Amazon and AT&T's websites and I do not find anything close to that. Only the dock or the charger with no batteries. Thanks!
I have using Anker batteries in all my android phones, and LOVE them. Fantastic customer service! You have a problem? They will take care of you with in a day!
The Anker batteries on my previous Samsung Infuse worked fine for myself for traveling .
I am using the Hyperion battery as well. Get which ever battery beforehand so you have time to go through a few recharge cycles to get the battery at its peak performance.
I ended up ordering the Hyperion 2 x 2600mAh batteries with charger. Along with the OEM battery I should have no problems lasting an entire day away from a charger.

Thanks all!
Doh . . . I was just going to say you can order OEM batteries from Amazon through a seller for $30 and it comes with a charger.
IT doesn't mention that it comes with the battery but it does.
http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0076Z3FSQ/ref=oh_o00_s00_i00_details
Just be careful buying "OEM" through other then official channels. There has been atleast one person here that bought "OEM" battery that gave him a whopping 6 hours of run time.

That's still good to know because Amazon is great about returns. I returned an "extended" battery for my Infuse when it lasted less than the OEM but was falsely rated higher. So if by chance the Hyperion batteries don't hold out I can always return them. I am sure they will work fine though, at least for the purposes that I need them for.
I just ordered this:
http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B005VBNYDS/ref=oh_o06_s00_i00_details
Basically it's an external battery; this worked better for me as I have multiple devices that sometimes need an extra "kick" so I didn't want to be limited to a single battery for a single device.
If the Hyperions perform like the one I bought, you should be satisfied. It seems to operate as long as the Samsung one that came with the phone.
That being said, I also ordered the Samsung charger/battery combo that's also $30, and sold one of the Hyperion batteries and the charger. So now I've got 2 Samsung batteries and 1 Hyperion in rotation. I can't really tell the difference among them.
In the end, I think you get more bang for the buck with the Hyperions.
both OEM batterys came in today from amazon. havent got to use it yet, but same box from AT&T store
I have seen a few threads on XDA with the Oneplus 3/3T with the Ebay Baozu chargers. I decided to take the plunge and order from Ebay a set with Dual charging port (hopefully the other port is a quick charge for my other non Dash device) and red cables for about $24. The expedited shipping was too expensive and decided to take the slower route, but my Oneplus 5 battery has been great. I would have bought it from other websites, but they don't have Paypal, and I don't like using my CC, just to get quicker shipping at a more reasonable rate.
For those who have used these chargers successfully, please chime in.
On another note, I wish my 2016 model vehicle came with Android Auto, but no, the 2017 did as standard, fockers! I rather use the big screen of the vehicle and not deal with any phone holder.
Quick or dash charge is only possible with the one plus dash charger

What about vooc?
I was tempted to buy the official 1+ car charger but decided to skip it since I already had an iOrange-E car charger that I bought a year ago for my Nexus 6p. Now, obviously this is not a dash charger but what I have noticed, as you can see from the attached picture, it has a pretty good charging capacity. Keep in mind that dash charging only works at up to 65% battery capacity before it throttles down, and it also goes down again at 75% and then again at 85% so most of the time the dash charger will be charging at regular charging speeds. So unless you always have the phone at really low battery percentages when connecting it to the car charger, to me there's really no reason to spend a lot of money on one.
I was looking to get an OEM dash charger but after seeing the price I couldn't see myself paying $30 another $7 for shipping. Unless if you really NEED to charge your phone that fast, I don't see the point to spending that much money on a car charger when a good 2.4a one will do the job for about $10 on amazon. I am able to keep my phone charged, use GPS, Pandora and bluetooth with my non dash car charger.

Any updates on Baozu? Was it able to reach a rate close to dash charging?
