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.

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...

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.

Just wanted to link you guys to some very inexpensive battery only chargers. I am a heavy heavy user, so I kill an extended within about 6-8hrs. Bought this with two extended batteries and has been doing great. Cannot beat $4 shipped either!

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.

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:

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
Besides the oem charger, which is the best quality spare battery charger? My anker charger broke after a few months of use, and from what I see Zero Lemon seems to sell the exact same charger only its rebranded. Are there any better options?
Were you using Anker batteries? Did you get them through Amazon or elsewhere? How did/do they compare to the standard battery in your opinion?
