As the title. Oddly the streak will be powered by it when the battery is removed (it shows the "battery missing" screen.
The battery I have is a third-party Chinese thing I got from the amazon market. It seems to do the job for other handsets I have (HTC Raph, Couple of nokia handset)
Is there anything I can do to make it work?
The USB input on the Streak requires 1000ma @5v to charge so many of the chargers on the market won't work. I just picked up a Just Mobile Gum Pro 4400mA from Amazon and it seems to work fine. I haven't had a chance to check it out yet other than to make sure the Streak shows "charging" when it's plugged in.
Here's a link.

Thanks for your info. Would appreciate if you could post your findings later.

Phjnky, have you tested it further? How long does it take to charge the streak and how many charges can you get out of this?
Does anyone else has any external battery to recommend?
Found Duracell CEF23-UK on amazon which seems like a very good idea. But it only output at 1.4v, 360mha which is useless for the streak. Does anyone know anything similar that can charge the streak?
The mobile gum pro works really well. Went on a trip and used it to power and recharge the streak. I dont recall but it seemed to recharge maybe twice from around 25% or so. It does charge rapidly about like the wall charger but I was using gogo inflight Internet and listening to Pandora, reading blogs etc while it charged. It kept the Streak going all day while on two long flights. I never fully ran it out of juice but got down to one bar.

Might be asking a bit much for that, it's only £32 direct from Dell. I got a spare charger and cable direct from them a couple of weeks ago for £24.
Anyone have these 2?

How are they? I see another battery that is priced at $9.50, but it looks like its the exact same battery... for a higher price.

I don't have the charging dock so can't comment on it.
These two batteries look the same to me except the $5.80 one seems to have a yelloew sticker with a wholesales vendor's name on it. The $9.50 one shows an extra "Built-in safety and protective circuitries" feature in the description.
I have a different pack, SKU 57931, from them. It comes with a bettery but I am not sure if it is a $5.80 or $9.50 one since there is no serial # on the battery. After initial full charge, Streak uses about 25% per day. I have very mininum phone usage (few quick calls/texting/WiFi. I don't have 3G service).
Even it is a $5.80 one, it seems to be working fine for me.
BTW, it took a while to finally receive the shipment in US. (about 4 weeks after placing the order).
I have the charging dock. It works very well I use the streak as a bedside digital clock
at night while it charges. Good value as mine came with all cables and power supply.

Make sure you buy 3 .
I dont own either, but I do have a usb cable coming from them in a few days, as well as a zune cable amongst other things. Hope it isn't broken.
I got a USB cable from DX and it is very problematic - it causes the Streak to crash and/or drop its connection. I have a number of cables, both original Dell ones and aftermarket ones purchased from eBay, and none of these exhibit the same issue.
I have bought a LOT of stuff from DX over the years, and it is extremely rare to have any problems, so I guess that I just got a bad cable, but you may want to test yours carefully when you get it just in case there is a bad batch out there.

Can you explain what you mean? I'm not too sure what your saying... it... causes the streak to freeze?! That's so strange!

When I have the Streak connected to my PC (or to a USB power outlet) using the cable that I got from DealExtreme, it frequently reboots and/or loses the connection to the PC. This only happens with the DX cable (I have 4 genuine Dell cables plus 2 bought from eBay and none of them have this problem).
There is obviously a loose connection or short inside the cable.
As I said, I don't want to put anybody off from buying from DX, as I find it's very rare to have any problems with their items.
any problem with this dock and battery so far?
Will the Streak (with the Otterbox case) fit on the dealextreme dock?

Took a few weeks to get it but I finally got it. The dock is great, the only complaints I have is that the AC charger is only EU (thankfully I had my AC adapter from another Mini-USB device), the car charger can be easily disassembled because it's not glued, and you can't charge a spare battery AND your phone at the same time through AC power alone... if you want to charge them both at the same time, you must also use the USB adapter and connect the dock to a computer. There is an LED that changes from Red to Blue, depending on what it is charging at that moment. If you have your phone docked, it will charge the phone and the light will be Blue. If you insert a spare battery to be charged, the light will change to Red and only the spare battery will be charging.
I've been using the $5 spare battery for 3 days now and I must say it's as good as the original. Let's just see if it holds a charge after a few months!

The answer to this is no, the Streak with Otterbox is too thick for it.
Hello everyone, i still use stock battery, and now i think about to upgrade my streak battery anytime soon. Please share your experience about what the best for stock battery replacement, like how much the capacity or recommended brand, etc.

I have been using this - http://www.aliexpress.com/item/Free...Charger-For-DELL-Streak-mini-5/558838663.html since Januar, 2013. These are cheap at prices but good at performance. I am not very heavy user and these works perfectly fine for me.

I have the 1800mah Mugen. I fully charge it every night on a Streak 7 Dock, Place it by my bed as my alarm clock, 3G, Bluetooth, and WiFi on full time, Use it for Email and Txting throughout my workday, ...a little bit of Twitter, then back on to the dock before 11pm.
I rarely have to charge it during the middle of the day, but I have a cable at work and a cable in my car for 'emergencies' :laugh:.

no, the 1800mah mugen fits in the space the stock battery took up... the 4300mah one needs the expanded cover (which comes with the battery)

awesome, 4300 clearly give great battery life, but for me (asian people) DS is heavy and big enough. Thanks again.

My streak 7 won't charge at all. I tried to call Dell and they're giving me s*it about how I don't own this and someone else does even though I'm the first owner. Anyway, it won't charge whatever I do it just won't. Does anyone know what's wrong? Thanks!
More than likely your charging port is broken.
