Hey All!!
I remember I bought a Philips Power2Go about 3 years ago! I just found it and am charging it now to help extend battery life of my HTC HD2.
Perhaps some of you would see this as an alternative.

I recommend the Just Mobile Gum Pro as an alternative as it is similarly sized and can give the HD2 2.5 full charges which probably means an additional 3-4 days for average users. It's £30 online.
Thanks! The Power2Go can only charge once.
+1 for the GUM Pro
i've had a gum pro for a couple of weeks and it's brilliant -- small size & weight and with a capacity of 4400mAh it can manage 2-3 full charges of my hd2. it's also capable of 1000mA output (though possibly only if you use a charging-only cable with the data pins shorted*) so you can continue to use your phone full steam while charging as if it were plugged into a mains charger.
*i'm using a retractable usb-->miniusb cable with an ebay usb mini-->micro adaptor attached. the adaptor has the data pins shorted which fools the hd2 into thinking that there is a mains charger attached so that it doesn't limit the charging current to 500mA.

Anyone know if there is any sort of splitter device, that will allow me to use one charger to charge two phones with miniUSB sockets?
Need to charge a Magic and Touch Dual but have limited plug sockets.
Thanks
Not exactly what I was looking for but these seem to do the job.

A couple of similar products can be found on ebay.
I'm a bit wary of USB plugs, as I have had a cheap one explode next to me. No injury sustained but I was lucky, any closer and I would be pulling plastic pieces out of the side of my head.
The search continues ...
Yea iGo. They sell universal chargers and a dual splitter. Its very cheap.
motorola had a dual mini usb splitter sold as an accessory. its designed to let you charge a phone and one of their bt headsets that also used mini usb.
However, i think its a switching unit, it supplies power to the phone side (they're labeled) first until its full, then switches to the other side.

This might take care of my dilemma on how to charge a spare battery. Samsung wants $50 for their out of stock spare battery charger.
would it fit with a case though... guessing not
For those who have good discount at big red. They have the wall \ car charger. With my corporate discount, the final price is $24 with free next day delivery. I bought the car charger last week and it works great. The wall charger was OOS but it's in-stock today.
Both come with the LED USB tips. The LED is pretty damn bright. It helps when you try to plug it in in the dark. Nice feature but if you don't have corporate discount, it may not worth an extra $10 compare to the charger on Amazon.

Vehicle charger works great, been using it for a couple weeks now. Not sure about the wall charger, but I'm sure it works just as good.
I got the Tenergy wall charger off amazon, 20 bucks shipped and compatible with all Gualcomm quick charge 1.0, 2.0, devices. As a bonus it also works on any voltage from 110 to 240 so it can be plugged in without a transformer overseas. I notice it charges my Find 7 at 'turbo" speeds as well, I'll be curious to see if the Find 7 charger can charge the Maxx when it gets here.

So, this week arrive my new supercharger and kevlar cable, both from a company called Blitzwolf.
Not the first one i buy and their quality is very very good!

I really think this is a must, specially the charger.
And you, still on OEM charger?
Yes.
I have the original, tronsmart and aukey. Both tronsmart and aukey can almost reach the maximum QC 3.0 power (18W) when charging from 0%. My USB doctor shows 5.7-5.9V @ 3.0-3.1A (at least for the first few percents).
Yes....but this one can kick 2 port, and quiete probably better line stability, with less noise....
Just saying the electronics inside are more stronger....and except my Oppo with VOOC, i never used original chargers....they look too week or basic...
Hi, is there any good Qi wireless charger like "addon" for xc? i would really like charge from QI and tho to sometimes charge through cable so maybe anyone saw anything like put type-c in for q charger and another type-c comes there to charge from wired cable. im mostly concerned abut Qi charging speed cause it wont go faster than 1A. share your thoughts and info hehe :> is someone using QI charger for x compact at all? or anyone cant link me where to buy case with QI receiver :/

Some people like those Qi add-ons. In any case, they're best when they don't charge too fast; you don't want to generate too much heat - the enemy of long battery life!
Make sure your case is a tight fit, as you want as little space in between charger and phone as possible.
