Are you wanting something to charge batteries outside your phone or something to bring with you to charge your phone? I got two slim extended batteries and an external charger for $20 from Q-Cell on Amazon.

For what it's worth i got an external battery charger made by anker off of amazon for 6 bucks. Used it over a year with no issues. Fits every phone battery I've tried also, even camera batteries

I have this PowerGen PGMPP6000 White External Battery Pack
I like it because it was a built in micro usb cable. I don't have to carry an extra cable with me. I always keeps spare USB cables in my car anyway in case I need to use my phone while its charging. The battery pack slips into my pocket easily and charges my phone twice.

I agree. I originally bought a super cheap no-name charger & 2 batteries on eBay for $10. They work, but the batteries don't last quite as long as my originals did.
I then bought an "Anker" charger + 2 batteries on Amazon for ~$20, and have never looked back. Batteries work -much- better than the no name ones. The charger is a bit odd tho. It's universal, so you can use it with almost ANY small Lithium Ion battery. Pins slide back and forth to connect to any type, they sense the proper polarity, and it's spring-loaded to fit any size pack.
The Anker charger with the extended batteries are fantastic. My charging port broke, but my life has only become more convenient with one in the phone, one in my bag, and one charging at home. Days of battery!

I am not a big fan of extra batteries. The idea of doing a battery pull and replace another is not pleasing.
I got a rechargeable charger at Best Buy, an Energizer charger for $19.99. Provides 6 hours of talk time. They also have a $39.99 charger for 12 hours of talk time.
I find this to be a great alternative for extra batteries.

Those are certainly good options which don't require you to reboot or buy a charger to charge your batteries. Luckily the Evo boots much quicker than the Pre.

lol but i'll settle with my Energizer one. Used my Best Buy gift card when I pre-ordered the Evo.
But these are definitely better than extra batteries IMHO.

I'm sure you can find one somewhere. Just not the Trent Imax brand most likely. You can get energizer ones at BB.
i know i went to best buy and looked at the energizer 2000 maH one for 39.99 but for anyone that has it how much does it recharge your battery? because when i had my G1 the porrtable charger only filled it up about 30%(im talking about the portable charger sold at t-mobile)
I bought the IMP880 portable charger, 8900 mAh. I like it, although I haven't really used it much yet. But it should in theory be able to charge my phone about 5 times. It's not very big, or to heavy (to me) but it does have some heft. I wear cargo pants, so I just keep it in a pocket with me where ever I go.

It would charge it a little over 1 time. How come you don't buy things online? Generally you pay about 40% extra at stores.

does the IMP880 come with a microUSB adapter as part of the original package or is that something that has to be bought separately off New Trent's website?

Aw crap, I wrote up a reply to this earlier today on my phone, and then before I submitted it I did something, and my internet task got killed forgot about it. Yes it does come with a microUSB adapter (as well as a miniUSB and a USB splitter, and some proprietary thingy). There are 2 outputs (USB and D/C out) and one input (D/C in for charging). There's one hard button, for power or to check the power level (have to hold down on the power buttron for 4 seconds to turn it on/off), and 4 tiered power LEDs for power level.
There's a USB cable that comes with the charger is a special one that the other end is a female plug and the micro, mini, and proprietary adapter things are male, and so are interchangeable with the cord that comes with the charger, although the data cable that comes with the phone will work, and mine is actually longer than the cable that came with the phone (if that matters)

Sadly added this to my Amazon cart last week when it was $33. It went up to $43 in a couple days and I unfortunately pulled the trigger at the higher price. Looking forward to getting this in the mail today. I'll monitor the price over the next couple of weeks so I could hopefully request a credit from Amazon.
This is what i use http://store.goal0.com/index.php?p=product&id=12 , may be a little overkill but it gets the job done, I can charge my phone almost 50 times from empty to full... its also great for laptops, and small microwaves(j/k) kinda pricey but well worth it if you find yourself in the middle at the bottom of the grand canyon a lot, or the middle of the Atlantic ocean....

I have one of the energizer ones, It never does a "Full" charge to the phone, it tops it off to about 60-70% and then when the phone dies some more, it will have a little more juice to give the phone. Not exactly as advertised, but I keep it in the car for an emergency battery so it works great for that, and for note I dont have the 19.99 energizer one I have the bigger more expensive one. Also, they are put together worse then most remotes, I split mine within a week from just dropping it into the door pocket of the car.

I agree 100%. It's the battery they should have included as standard, but i'd reckon the marketing department wanted the lesser capacity battery so they could say how thin the phone is.
Any way, i got a couple of generic batteries off ebay, and my god they were awful to use. Maybe it was my experience, but the phone would get so warm using them and they would drain in less time than the genuine battery even though they were the same capacity.
Maybe it's just my experience, but i'd go genuine from now on based on what happened to me.
Hearing a lot of positive feedback for the anker battery... Might try it myself...
get the anker or that first link,i brought me another samsung battery and a wall charger and its great,use a battery a day and charge the flat one when you swap them over,its worth it,glad i did it.

The Amazon reviews of the Astro3 external USB backup battery are impressive.

I'm tempted to finally pickup the Anker 10000. Can anyone tell me if it can be CHARGED via USB? or can it only be charged from a wall?
Short and sweet, my usb port is sucking now and theres a dead spot, I have to prop it against something to charge, while sprint may give me another devices, I'm really lazy, and I'd rather just try to get an external battery charger, besides waiting for a new phone and such. I have 2 batteries anyway . Many 3rd party chargers have bad reviews, and I may just get the 20$ OEM samsung one on Amazon but I'd like some feedback first. Thank You!

I picked up a package deal of a couple of extra extended batteries, an extended back to accommodate the larger battery, and a non-name brand wall charger for about $12 on Ebay earlier this year. The seller was in Brooklyn, so no long wait from Asia.
The charger is nothing special but it works fine. You can place the battery in the unit and plug it directly in a wall, or plug in a usb cable and charge up your phone that way. Nice light signals when the battery is fully charged.
Look for the guy, his ebay name is accmonster. Several folks around here had good deals with him.
I can vouch that he ships quickly and has good prices. The extended battery is not quite what the ad says (it's more potent, but not 3500). Shop around his online store and see if he has a deal that fits your interests. Good luck.

But the charger works perfectly EXCEPT there is something definitely wrong with the USB port on it.

You might want to check the accessories section.
there are many options. It just depends on your needs. In your example, it depends on how large of external batter you would like to use. You could get something like Anker Anker Astro 3 10,000mAh. It's better than the GN2, but has over triple the battery capacity of it as well. Heck, you can charge multiple devices with it. I have one, but use it mainly for the Asus Infinity Tablet.
Another option could be something like Duracell Powerhouse or Druacell Instant charger. Of these, I used a older version of the later. It's not very big and can easily fit in your pocket. It's about the same jumbo pack of chewing gum sticks. You do need to use a USB cord, which is bad if you don't have one with you; it comes with one, but they break. On the same token, it's more universal since it doesn't matter what your phone takes since there will be a USB cord for it.
Beyond that, just use an old phone charger. Just throw it in your bag and you'll have something to charge the phone if you access to an AC outlet. I've used .5mAh chargers I got with old Jawbone earpieces and Evo 4G. They don't charge as fast, but it still charges. I do this. I have keep a charger and USB cord in my backpack for school, another in a pocket of my work uniform, another in a laptop bag, and other in my truck of my car.

I have the same charger by Anker. I've owned several others as well. One of things that really impresses me about this one is that I can toss into a bag and pull out weeks later and is still showing fully charged. Zagg's would be dead after a few weeks even if I didn't use it at all. Outstanding portable charger.
A spare battery and external charger will be the smallest and most efficient way to go. You can find a deal with 2 hyperion batteries and wall charger on amazon for $20.

If any of you guys used any of these, what is your experience with it? Also if you could provide info on whether or not the Nexus 5 will stick on there until a certain angle or will it slip right off even if you move the charger around. Asking this because i'll be using it in the car also.
Thanks
I have the Lugulake one. It's good, works well, charges the phone in a very similar time to the wall charger and has a decent grip on the phone, not sure how good it'd be in car tho. But.... I also want one of these which I'll be ordering soon for the car -

I have two Lugulakes and they work great. Just to say the unit never gets hot nor does the phone. Good portable device.

I also have the Lugulake and I'm quite happy with it.
I think both of those devices are available on Amazon and for under $50. I'm thinking of getting the first one. Vent mount and I can use my SGS3 with it.

I have one I got on ebay that is 10,000mah and looks identical to the first link. (http://www.ebay.com/itm/141047804367) It cost $37 (looks like the price dropped a little since) and so far I'm very happy with it, though I've only used it a bit when traveling. It does take a while to charge since 10,000mah on a 1A charger is 10hrs. I haven't really carefully tested its functionality though. I wonder if its current discharge limit is lower than it says, though, since I noticed when I had my n5 plugged into it the 2.1A port and under heavy use (games) the phone battery didnt charge, it only discharged slower... I'll have to test more.
