[Q] Spare battery w wall charger!!

I am usually on the go and have had problems with my vibrant dying on me. I would like to buy a spare battery and wall charger which are both efficient/quality and affordable. I use my phone extensively when I travel and it acts, almost, as a life line for me. Please advise with information on potential solution.
Thanks.
P.S. This question may have been asked before but can someone provide updated info/links.

Heres the wall charger I use - http://www.ebay.com/itm/USB-Battery...ccessories&hash=item4aadd9fa50#ht_4889wt_1313
not sure about the battery because i paid a little more for the 1650mah one
this battery comes with a 3 year warranty - http://www.ebay.com/itm/NEW-BATTERY...ccessories&hash=item231427e052#ht_1381wt_1313

I bought an OEM spare battery with charging box on Amazon for about $25 six months ago. Maybe it would be cheaper now?

3 weeks ago I bought a wall charger with 2 1500mAh batteries for $11.00 off of eBay. They work great.
I'd send a link but not at a PC right now.

Awsome 3500 MA Replacement Battery With cover
Hey Brother, I run a Largecar for a living, and I use my phone more than anybody else I know of, including, navigation and as a speedometer!
This battery's worked out really well, and its incredibly priced right!!
The cover works perfect on my T-959 Vibrant even though its advertised for an I9000 which essentially are the same phones!!

Oh and BTW one more thing, when you go to Modding/flashing your phone, don't use this battery, take it out and use the OEM Samsung one, because its lacking some signature or code internally, and I found out the hard way, it wont allow ODIN or CWM to function right!! ODIN fails to pass until I swap to the OEM, and CWM wasn't acting right as well
Hope it works for you, It sure has for me!!

Extra Battery/On the go charger?

Hey guys,
After having my Galaxy Nexus for little over a week, the battery is starting to worry me. I don't think the battery would ever last me one full day with heavy usage and I was wondering, do you guys know of a website or a retailer that sells an extended battery/extra battery or on the go charger for the Galaxy Nexus? I'm probably going out for the holidays and I don't want the battery to die on me.
I am using the GSM variant of the Galaxy Nexus from Bell on Android Revolution HD (though I did notice the same battery life on the stock rom :/)
Also, on a side note, does anyone have a good site to get a USB otg adapter or a MHL-HDMI cable/adapter for a good price?
Note: I'd prefer not buying from Ebay, as I have had bad experiences in the past. Something like Amazon would be preferred.
Thanks,
Mosh

if your using the gsm gnex i would get the gnex carcharger from vzw, it charges the phone really fast(like the home charger) until you can find a gsm extended battery online or something

I'd go nuts having to constantly swap out my batteries to charge them at the end of the day. Get the charger.

Monoprice is a good place for cables. Power sources though are kind of meh.

I've got a spare battery and the factory stand that can charge the extra battery without it being in the phone on order. Not sure when they'll reach my shores but apparently "not too far away". I'm sure you could find a supplier where ever you are. IMO they were reasonably priced for genuine accessories

Thanks for the replies guys! I don't think I can get a charger from Verizon and it would probably be expensive. Oh, and just to confirm, by charger you mean on the go (without an outlet)?
EDIT: Also, do you guys know of any good websites in Canada?
EDIT2: Amazon is preferable!

You could, you know, do a search on amazon:

Been trawling the interwebs for an extended battery for gsm (like the gs2 one), If anyone comes across anything please post

Extended battery is still on sale for $24.99 I just ordered mine last night. Click the link and add to cart and it will price drop to $24.99.
Enjoy.
I'll let you know how much extra battery it actually gives once I get it but its supposed to help.
I would post the link but since I'm still so new it will not let me but just go to Verizonwireless and find it under the accessories. The Retail stores are doing the same deal as well.

Did you order from Verizon? Or from the link posted above?

I ordered directly from verizon, get free 2 day shipping as well. Its a actual bigger battery with new backplate to fit it directly onto the phone, so other then that you don't really even know you have the extended battery. I will know once it comes it how much bigger it makes the phone but I've heard its pretty minimal on the look of it. I don't know if this supports the GSM model since I am on Verizon and have the LTE/CDMA phone.

i got my car charger from expansys when i ordered the phone

Can anyone confirm that this will work? : http://www.amazon.com/PowerGen-Ultr..._1_6?s=wireless&ie=UTF8&qid=1324279677&sr=1-6

Spare battery thread

I am going to be purchasing a new battery.
This thread is for peoples experiences and recommendations for aftermarket and oem batteries for our Tmo version.
As of today, I don't see any available on either Samsungs or Tmos sites.
Here's a link to another thread.

EDIT: To quote ewingr below -"Haven't seen any posts on this in this thread: keep in mind that if you want to use NFC, the current 3rd party batteries don't have the necessary support for that. NFC is built into the OEM battery."

let me let u in on a little secret. you are going to LOVE me.
Steps to get a FREE Battery from T-Mobile + about $7.00 shipping.
1. Call T-mobile customer care.
2. Make up some BS excuse why ur battery isnt working. say the phone gets really HOT and ur battery life is about 15 minutes and now the only way you can make calls is if your phone is on the wall charger.
3. when they are trouble shooting, hint that you think it might be a bad battery.
4. they will offer to mail you a new one for about $7 shipping.
5. If i helped you PLEASE thank me.

I'm pretty sure you have to mail the supposed defected battery to them.

I've used aftermarket batteries twice now and it works perfectly. I've purchased them from Amazon, and some of them are directly from Samsung. You can't go wrong with a fresh battery. Hope this helps!

I could not do that. T-Mobile has always been very fare with me. For the lousy few bucks to buy a new battery it just isn't worth all that. I would feel too guilty.

Hit "Thanks" if ya Love me.....Well no, but hit thanks anyways ;-)
Edit - I think the OP's link takes you to the same place, so for what it's worth anyways.

I ordered a pair of the Hyperions from ebay with that goofy universal charger, $20.00 w/ free shipping. Seemed very cheap.
I'll post a review after I've used them a while.

Yeah forsure it's a great deal. Nice to have some extra juice around, so we don't have to be too concerned about battery life n all.

Extra Battery

Hey guys so i got two 1900 mah batteries for my htc sensation about three months back. The battery life i get is a lot better than the stock one, but since i got one more extra battery left i dont know what to do with it. i was thinking of cutting a microusb cable up and connecting that extra battery with my phone by using a bigger case. What do you guys think ? Will it work or has anyone done some thing like this before ?? THANKS and im sorry if im posting this in the wrong section, i just joined.

Zerolemon Battery Case

Hello all,
I was wondering if anybody here has purchased and used this accessory:
http://www.amazon.com/Warranty-Zero...ck-kickstand/dp/B00IMOCZOA/ref=cm_wl_huc_item
It is a 3500mAh battery that sits in a shock resistant case. What have you experienced with it? How is the audio quality? How long does it last for you and what type of user are you (power, average, heavy data, ect.).
Thanks in advance for the input.

I can't speak to this exact one, but the quality of their batteries are good.
I had the big giant one for my old galaxy nexus. It still is going strong to this day with that battery pack, over a year when I stopped using it daily.

I too have purchased one for my S4 and it is still going strong for my other phone. I just wanted to know how long it lasted for someone who is a power user like myself. Thanks for the info.

Yeah, that galaxy nexus one has survived countless thermal shutoffs.

It more than doubles your battery capacity, so I would say it should last you at least twice as long as it normally does.
