Standalone battery chargers?

[dizlmonsta]

Are there any Standalone battery chargers for the Thunderbolt? It'd be nice if I could charge my battery while my extended battery is in use, and vice versa.

There is THIS ONE and someone on these forums said they use it and it works great for the TBolt battery.

I just order the one from Seidio. Their batteries stink, but their cases and belt clips are some of the best.....I'll let you know how the battery charger is in a few days.

Frank you should have gone to page 2 where Anubis CONFIRMED that it works.

Frank you should have gone to page 2 where Anubis CONFIRMED that it works.

Unfortunately, Anubis did not mention that for it to work you had to purchase an additional item - the "Multi-Function Accessory Kit" specific for the ThunderBolt. This adds an additional $13 to the original $30 purchase price for a total of $43 plus shipping and Tax, if any.

Be careful you get the correct "accessory kit", there are many.

[HERE] Scroll to the bottom of the page, last item listed is for the ThunderBolt.

I didn't know about the accessory kit at first, so I had to place another order today for the ThunderBolt accessory kit.

According to the email I got from Seido technical the adapter plate comes with the BD3-BCSI3HTMEC-BK and will accomadate the extended battery.

FrankXS you only need the plate if you already own a charger and need it for the Thunderbolt device

OK, I think user name SeidioSeidio (I think thats his name) needs to chim in here.

Well, that's nice that it comes with the BD3-BCSI3HTMEC-BK, but according to the website, for the ThunderBolt, you need the "BD2-BCSCBU-HTMEC".

As for any reference to "extended battery" regarding the plate number you listed (which I could not find on their site) they're probably talking about the Seidio extended battery, not the OEM HTC ThunderBolt Extended battery.

As I re-review their site now... (They didn't have the ThunderBolt stuff up there at first) I think I see the problem.

The part number you quoted (BD3-BCSI3HTMEC-BK) is actually the part number of the Multi-Function charger WITH the Thunderbolt Plate. I'm not sure if that item was listed a few days ago when I placed my order. I may have ordered that, or something for another phone

Apparently, when you order you can buy the $30 charger with the adapter for your specific phone. And you only need to buy another "plate" if you need a different size for a different phone.

I'm not sure now if the fully compatible ThunderBolt Charger was on their website when I ordered it. It should be here Friday the 1st of April. I'll find out then. If so, I could cancel my order for the additional ThunderBolt plate due the next day (or simply refuse it via FedEx). However, since it also comes with a USB cable, I dunno... maybe I'll keep it anyway. Can always use an extra one of those.

Oh the perils of being an early adopter

Thanks for giving me the motivation to keep researching. Wish I had done a little more before placing my order.

EDIT: Holy crap! I just reviewed my Seido shipping email alert and what do you know! I DID order the correct thing to begin with (the part number you quoted). Geeze, what a pain... I gotta stop letting myself get carried away when I'm shopping online.

+1 on the new trent external charger, however i opted for the 5000mah....as cheap as an additional battery, but a heck of a lot bigger and i don't have to swap out batteries....i love mine
