I don't have a Dopod but an x7500/Advantage and I don't have this problem with the battery. Are you using the supplied wall charger or trying to charge via USB through a computer or other low power source?

external battery links for Athena...
Here are a couple links (keep in mind I haven't tried any of these):
http://www.smartdevicesdirect.com/u....html?osCsid=07345864b9a37c51317edce76f1ca7ef
http://www.expansys.com/p.aspx?i=118661
Hope this is what you're looking for. The first one is a 5400mAh external battery. Sounds like it'll last a long time on the Athena since the factory battery is only 2200mAh.

Sorry but I've never seen one for the Athena. Maybe I just haven't run into one or the device is too new for these to be out already. If you find one please post it here for the rest of us. Also, please no more double posting.

This is your third thread on the same topic - one is plenty, thanks
And Making The First Letter Of Each Word A Capital Makes It Very Hard To Read... and hard to type.
Here is the charger:

That's just for the battery. I think the original post is looking for a docking cradle for the Athena itself, and IIRC HTC were planning on launching such a device, with a fairly high cost.

Help

Help I bought a 3600 mah battery from ebay.But its life span its still the same from the default one i have.Do I need to upgrade it.pls help
this is not a matter of upgrading, this actually belongs in the accessories section, but never the less...
maybe your charger just does not charge it beyond the point of 1500mAh and that is why you have the same life-span, do you charge the device over usb or the charging cable? have you tried the battery in the back of the cradle (if it fits)? maybe you need a wall charger for the battery, have a look in the accessories section, probably you find your answers there.

Charging cradle for spare battery?

I know there are some desktop cradles that also feature a 2nd battery charging cradle, but I'm surprised that HTC sell aditional batteries but no official charger to charge them while using your other battery in the phone ? Anyone seen a good one that is reliable?

I have seen them on ebay, to me they look like the kind of thing you would use to charge a second battery if you had one.
Sent from my Dell Streak using XDA App
Yep it is. Just wondering if anyone had tried it.
Looks like a generic charger which you set the size to fit your phone's battery
I just purchased one. I had to buy it as i am in need of a charging cable (lost mine). If anyone has a spare charging cable i would gladly pay it as long as they will ship it registered mail to canada
in the meantime does anyone know what pins are postive and negative on the battery?
Chargers off Ebay
I got one off Ebay and it is working but it is extremely slow! It is a MyBat brand and you see tons of videos on you tube, but it is taking almost 48 hours to charge it to 100%. Can anyone confirm this 3G brand is any faster? Or can someone who has an Ebay account buy one and list a charger cable lol, I use mine for two to three days then I have to charge it two days. Please help and any input would be greatly appreciated!

Email from seller
Hi guys,
I bought the same charger and asked which one of the two metal prongs is positive and which one is negative and if the seller knows which contact on the battery is positive/negative.
Apparently the charger can automatically switch polarity...
I've also noticed on the label that the charger has 600mA through the USB port and 400mA through the mains. That's why it's really slow I reckon...
Anyway, here's their response:
You can use the charger by following instruction:
Features and Functions Guide of the charger

Standard of the electrical
? Electric current of import: 110V-220V 50/60 HZ 0.1A

? The battery for Motorola Droid A855 has 4 contacts, you should use the outsider contacts. And the charger can adjust Polarity automatically in order to fit for the polarity of the battery.
? When the charger is working, the light is pink, when the charger finishes charging, the light turns into blue. And the battery can not be charged for a long time, please pay attention to the light.

? The USB charger can charge your phone with a suitable USB cable. When you use the battery charger and the USB charger at the same time, the charger will let the USB charger first. The light is blue, after the USB charger finishes its charge, the battery charger will work, and the light is pink.

Thanks mate. So have you had any success in charging with your charger?
Its slow but it works. Took about 30hours to charge my battery.
Its only 400mA. 1000mA is preference when charging our batteries.

Yes, it seems to work fine, although so far I have only used it on a partly charged (~80%) battery.
The charger that I received works off the mains (110-250V at 50 or 60Hz).
It delivers 4.2V at 350mA (+/-50mA) to the battery. However, the battery is under no load, whereas when you charge a battery in situ in the Dell Streak there will be a drain on the battery while it's charging (depending on whether the display/GPS/wifi etc is switched on).
The charger also has a USB output (5.2V at 800mA).
Given the price, I would expect all the voltages and currents to be nominal (although to be fair the build quality is good enough).
Hi I just bought the 3G commerce one the one on ebay but got it at a local chinese/electronic store, the plate that is used to hold the battery against the two pins has to be stretched almost all the way out, feels like it will break the inner spring, probably wont at least I hope so. I have yet to charge my battery with this charger but will do it tonight and see how that goes.
I usually charge my battery with a blackberry desktop charger I had to mod the hell out of it so it could fit the streak battery, and that charger i believe is 4.2v 350ma and charges the battery from 2% to 100% in a little less than 4.5 hours. We use 110v AC for main juice.
When using this "generic" chargers ALWAYS make sure it is a Li-Ion/Poly charger.
You can start a fire if you don't use a proper charger. I will point this out as much as possible
solar charger / dell streak / recharger / battery
why not use a solar charger, i bought one from here ( i am not making an ad, just saying what has worked for me for your sake)
apparently i cant post links yet, just go to gkitshop, look up a 2600mAH solar charger
have a good life

[Q] External Battery Charger?

Hey guys I searched the 4 pages of posts for the Droid 3 but could not find anything.
Looking for a charger to charge a battery outside of the phone so I can carry a second charged battery around with me. Does not need to be OEM, any suggestions.
Thanks

I purchased my external charger from cellularfactory, it was item number 49536-M07-148. Works great and can charge the phone and extra battery at the same time. Cost was about $17.00.
