If I get another standard battery

[Littleairjordan1]

Is there any way to charge both with one not being in my phone?

Yes, but you'd need a wall charger. Here's one that happens to come with 3 spare batteries for $12 shipped. 0.o

For those wondering, I have them and they perform identical to OEM.

Yes there is. Please use the search feature and check the Thunderbolt Accessories sticky.

I like the Seidio...

seidioonline.com

It's not cheap, but it's well built and it can be used for different phones by buying just the adapter plates. I used mine for two years with my Blackberrys and then when I switched to the TB, I ordered the charging plate for the TB battery.

You can also buy the HTC Express batts here...

HTC Thunderbolt Verizon LTE 4G 1700mAhx2 Battery+Dock USB Charger PD42100

which is the setup I ordered. In fact, I don't plan to use the charger that comes with them, so if you ask nicely we might be able to work something out.

Personally, I would be skeptical of three batteries and a charger for $12 (the eBay link), but that's just me. I was even concerned about the HTC Express batts, but people I trust have used them with good success. I'm a bit paranoid after buying a 12V laptop charger off eBay a few years ago that almost caught on fire. :-[

I have the Seidio charger as well. So worth the $$ And the expandable nature of it is such a plus!

What you probably don't realize is that the battery (singular) and wall charger you bought for $43+shipping from HTCExpress is identical to the $12 charger and batteries (plural - 3) I bought from eBay. I'll gladly post pics of mine if you don't believe me.

Are you sure?

The HTC Express deal is two batteries plus the charger and they are (supposedly) rated at 1700 mAh each.

The ones from eBay are listed as 1500 mAh. Granted, you get three of them, so even if they were 750 mAh and worked they would be a good deal!

It does appear that the charger is the same.

If they are working well for you then that's awesome! Wish I had known that last week...lol!

I've read some not-so-good reviews about HTCExpress (customer service-wise), so I'm not sure how trustworthy the 1700 is. For that matter, I don't know how any of these batteries are measured or rated, but I do know the 1500's I bought on the cheap work great for me.

lol, too good to be true? Maybe... I might buy it just for the cheap wall charger, and I get 3 free emergency batteries for free? Sweet. While I realize there was a mention of a potential fire, I've bought 5+ cheap ass wall and car chargers over the last couple years and have never had a issue with any of them. Even brand name **** breaks, and a lot of it is the same cheap **** marked up.

paulmike - what was the shipping like?

Shipping was free. It took awhile to get here (about 2 weeks). I got a tracking number about a day after I purchased, and it sat in customs overseas for about half of the 2 weeks. When it arrived, it was just a small plastic padded evelope. The charger was in a small plastic bag, inside a small retail box (can post a pic of everything if anyone wants). Each battery was individually factory sealed in static-protective bags. The whole shebang smelled like mothballs, but that faded in a day. Lemme know if you have any more questions.
