External Battery Charger / Charging Pod?

[prakash99]

When I had BlackBerry Storm and Samsung Fascinate after that, I used to have a standard spare battery with me and a charging pod to charge the battery externally.

Is anyone using something like this for HTC Thunderbolt batteries? I went online and found this:

Seidio Multi-Function Battery Charger for HTC Thunderbolt

So before I place the order ...any other options?

Anyone know if THIS THING is any good?

I've had the Just Mobile Pro Power Pack Ultra High Capacity usb charger. I've used it to charge my Ipod touch,Blackberry,PSP and now my Thunderbolt. Ive had it for over a year and had no problems it. Amazon has them for under $55.

I found the SATECHI one on Amazon for $54.99. CHECK IT OUT.

I have an external battey by New Trent! It is the 8900mah and can charge my TB up to 5 times before it needs to be recharged! I got it for traveling on long flights basically, but find I use it at home as I can't make it thru the day without charging my phone late in the day!! I think it was about $79, well worth the cost in my opinion! And I can charge mine, and Hubby's phone at the same time!!!

I think I am going with Seidio. Unfortunately I will have to wait till my next paycheck a little over a week from now. I spent almost all of my saved money from last week's paycheck on repairs on my car and a new car battery

What ever happened to the og media dock? What I'm waiting for.

Multimedia dock—$59.99, Docks your phone in landscape mode and “triggers multimedia menu when docked.” The multimedia dock also has a slot to charge a spare standard (or extended) battery.

Before you crack any jokes about it, does anyone here have any experience with THIS EXTERNAL BATTERY? It's 1500mAh.

Looks like it will. Here's a recent review where they mention their TB...

"Was so excited about buying this product because I could charge on the go when I'm not able to plug into the wall or car. Fully charged the device and when the phone battery got to about 20% I used it to charge the phone. The device quit when the phone got to about 60%. I thought this would be a better option for me than the Thunderbolt extended battery because it's so bulky and no cover for it yet. But was expecting it to fully charge the phone before going dead. They claim you can charge 2 devices at the same time...sure you can plug in 2 devices but neither one will get much of a charge."

Well I noticed it was 5v output and I think the regular TBolt chargers are 7v. I think that's why it would only charge to 60%, maybe?

I don't know much about that stuff.
I'm looking at some ebay extended batteries but was hoping to find some recent reviews on the other thread in this category.
CHICHITEC items - Get great deals on HTC, Samsung items on eBay Stores!

Not bad if you can get one of those deals for under $30.
