Portable external battery pack/charger

Hello
First post here. Nice forum with good info and stuff for the hd2. Keep up the good work!
I'm looking for a portable battery charger to go with me on longer trips/travel.
The external battery pack which lets you charge your phone a couple of times.
There are som on ebay, but does any of you guys have any special recommendations?
Not to expensive, under 50$ would be nice

Here is cheap one. I don't own it, therefore I can not recommend it
However, It look nice

Anybody tried the one linked above?

why not just get a spare second battery (its what i do )

Imho its easier to just plug in a battery pack. I.e if you are watching a movie or listening to music you don't have to turn off your device..

I use the Just Mobile PP-08 Mobile Power Pack which is 4400 mah and it is very wonderful and not so heavy in my pocket.

PP-08 Mobile Power Pack looks great. But a little expensive I think. 59$ + shipping..

there's been a couple of threads on this one:

I think will give this one a try, Sanyo eneloop KBC-E1S. Should be able to get at least one full recharge cycle from it.
That way I can also bring my additional eneloops if I'm away from power sources.

Motorola Defy Extended Battery idea

Since the Motorola Defy uses the same battery as the Droid X, you can order a 1750 mah battery here at http://www.seidioonline.com/product-p/basi17mtdx.htm for way better life.

anyone tried yet?

Theoretically, then we could also use battery from Motorola Atrix which uses a massive 1900mah. No?

The Droid X battery is a BH5X
The Defy is a BF5X (at least the uk one I have is)
I'm not saying they wont fit the Defy, but it would be nice know from someone who has tried if they do,before stumping up the cash?
There is a BH6X Motorola extended battery
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rTbb2f81_HI
This might fit also?
UPDATE
OK it looks like the Droid X battery has flat contacts,
and the Defy has the blades that fits into slots in the battery.
So even though its the same physical size and shape it
won't fit without a bit of serious hacking?
So clever of Motorola to make each of their products so individual and different. You cant help but feel a little special
in owning one. ;-)
BH5X
http://www.trait-tech.com/product/T-BH-5X/

that would be very nice as battery life is allready quite tidy on the defy, dont see why it shouldnt work tho might give it a try

Perhaps we can ask tenfar or another chinese from this forum who know if there exist good batteries in china...

I have this one, arrived in a few days, charger seems to work fine, batteries fit and work but build quality is lacking (pushing battery into charger causes the end of the battery to flex and come away from the inside).
As for time, I've only tried once since I received it the other day and it seems to last about half a day.
Good and cheap for backups, but no good as replacements.

never heard of mugen... quality batteries?

Yes. Very reliable and quality batteries. The do what they are suppose to. They say if something can be done or not, and that is rare. I've seen them say a Desire HD 1800 battery was in the works (like the ones you can find on Ebay), but after trial and error, they scrapped it because it didn't meet their standards. They could have just made it, and made money off it, but they took the high road. I would buy from them anytime.

Firstly, thanks for the link.
Secondly, has anyone ordered/tried one of these yet?
Whilst it's not a huge increase in capacity, an extra ~10% if it doesn't require a larger/distended battery cover wouldn't be too shoddy.
And I'm guessing that since the product page states 'Battery Door - Not Required', that means it uses the standard battery cover?

Just wanted to point out that the original battery is now available on the Motorola EU store online http://www.motorolastore.eu/de/p_motorola_product.aspx?i=207650

I bought a mugen battery pack for x1 (1800mA, the stock one was 1500), i've been really satisfied. Great product and they looks like a serious company, well, except for delivery time.. i had to wait 3 weeks or so. I'm going to get the mugen battery for my defy too.

i just bought the mugen extended battery hope it works well, will report back once it arrives & I've tested it

I think not - but i hope there will be in the future.... I dont get all those manufacturers... I sincerely wouldn't min another 3 - 4 mm for additional 1500 mAh capacity, for a uptime like 4 - 5 days....
It would be awesome.

Anyone tried the mugen battery for defy yet? please let us know your feedback. thanks

Docking station/Cradle.

Anyone found a good one for the O2X?
One that support battery + hdmi.

Im also interrested in things too.

I doubt you will find a dock that has HDMI, there are no official HDMI docks and its not exactly a universal item

I was hoping they came with docs like the Atrix 4G.
But cause of HDMI locating on top, I think it would be a hard job.

I have ordred the KiDiGi one, it looks like it have USB host function (OUTPUT USB).
It certainly need to be tested
Specifications:
● Net Weight: 118g
● Dimension: 112 x 90 x 33 mm
● INPUT: DC 5V/1000mA - USB 5V/500mA
● OUTPUT: USB: DC 5V/500mA - BATTERY: DC 4.2V/500mA
It will be delivered sometime in June.

Yea when the Atrix came out i really wanted a phone and dock like that. but for the price its not worth it. Id rather have my phone and an asus transformer. or now that they are cheaper a Gtab. we are out of luck for docking but I have a Duracell mygrid charging mat thats pretty cool

Would that KiDiGi dock work with the g2x?

I am using a cheap but not-so-neat holder: http://www.dealextreme.com/p/compact-holder-station-for-iphone-4-3gs-other-cellphones-56525

Shipping took 8 days from HK to The Netherlands.
Looks nice, although the provided cables are a bit on the short side it's great that they deliver a EU adapter with it.

The originals are coming aswell.

I still wish there was a charging dock like on the N1.
These are all nice but they are more like holders and cradles. to me a "dock" has some In/out funtion and at least charges without the standard USB plug.
Maybe I can hack up my duracell Mygrid and make a quick charger dock for the car

There are some cheap ones n eBay with and without an extra space to charge a spare battery.

We received an interesting tip today about a new LG Android smartphone named Optimus 4X. While the above render is not that conclusive, the thir screenshot reveals some rather interesting hardware specifications.
If this tip turns to be in some way true, LG Optimus 4X smartphone at its 8mm thin will run Android 4.0 Ice Cream Sandwich, boasts a 5.3 OLED HD touchscreen (an outrages 2650×1900 pixel resolution i would say), powered by a 2.2GHz processor, Mali T-604 GPU, 2.5 MB of RAM, 64GB of ROM (built-in memory storage), 4G LTE technology (up to 75Mbps), microSD card slot up to 32GB and a 3200mAh battery.
LG Optimus 4X also could sport an 18MP camera on the back, NFC-enabled, WiFi 802.11 a/b/g/n, Bluetooth 4.0 and more. The whole list of specs looks out of this world for an Android device but in a world where the first Android tablet runs a Quad-core CPU since 2011. Who knows what 2012 has in stored for us. Anyways take it with a pinch of salt until get any kind of confirmation.

-My life is a shooting range, people never change-

LG needs to establish itself as one of the top phone manufacturers. This is the kind of phone that would put them on top.

Sounds like somebody just added all his wet dreams into one model and then just doubled all values for good measure going "teheeheeeee". That phone is physically impossible to build atm inside a reasonably small and thing phonesized case, I'd say. Plus, a way to large jump. Why would a maker give up all the sales he can do with minute little improvements from year to year? That Mali GPU must be a wonfrous chip, if it wants to beat all other phones at 3D speed at that resolution. But who knows, maybe the pictrues are misleading and it's actually a huge brick

Just saying, I would buy any phone if it had a 2650×1900 resolution (at a reasonable price).
But yeah... definitely a fake.

The comparison written in Korean said...
the UI is Touchwiz 5.0
and the Screen using OLED isn't make sense.
I guess it is fake about the spec..
The one who post that comparison make a mistake, or a joke to us.
but, who knows? only LG does..
But one thing I'm pretty sure, LG would name one device called 4X in the future.

this is a fake news and fotos

if design on real phone, was like the one on pictures - this phone would be priceless)

Tronsmart USB rapid car charger, 2 port

This is my review of the Tronsmart USB rapid car charger. This is a Qualcomm 2.0 rapid charge charger with 2 ports. It comes with 2 USB cords as well in the box, which was a nice surprise. The Note 5 does recognize this as a "rapid charger".
I got the rapid charger to try out and compared it to an OEM Samsung USB charger. I found that the Tronsmart rapid charger charges at a rate of about 1% per minute. This is pretty good. If you take a 10 minute car ride, you will gain roughly 10% to 12% charge. This can be very useful to get a quick juice-up when needed. The Samsung charger charges at a slightly lower rate, about 7% charge gained over 10 minutes.
I should clarify that this testing was done with the phone around 70% to 80% charged already. I still plan on testing out the charge rate with a more drained battery (under 50%) and will report back as to how quickly it charges then.
The charger seems well built. It is nice and compact, and gives you not just the one rapid charge port, but 2. I highly recommend it. 10/10 here.

Disclaimer: I was provided this free of charge in exchange for an unbiased and honest review.
UPDATE: Just to let you all know how well the rapid charger works when the battery is low. In 15 minutes, my phone went from 19% to 41%. That is a 22% boost in just 15 minutes, which is about what a short drive around town would take for me. I am more than satisfied with that.

Nice charger, could you send the product link to me? Want to buy one. How about the quality of the cable?

I have the same charger and really like it. As someone who frequently travels with a couple Note 5's in the vehicle, this is a no-brainer. The USB cables are thick, 10/10 from me as well.
