I got a cradle from these guys. It was a $29.00 and it has an extra slot for a second battery to charge. I convinced the Sprint Repair Center that the battery life really sucked and they gave me an extra battery, so I was looking for a charger that could do 2 batteries.
The charger did not come with any documentation. It is one of two dual chargers on the Website http://www.talkietech.com/ and it is the one where the battery sits flat, behind the handset. It is not the one made by HTC (ORA) where the batter is upright. That one is $79 but i bet it will work better and it has 3 led's one for each battery and one for power!
The device has two led's on it and they simply do not change color, no matter what you do. One stays blue and the other green. The sales guy at TalkeiTech was very helpful but said that there was a replacement version coming in November.
Apparently the problem is from having one or both the USB and power cords plugged in (rapid charge option) at the same time. He stated you need to have both plugged in simultaneously.
I was using it as a simple charger that was near the door to the garage so I could charge both batteries as soon as I got home.
I use the Boxwave charger at my desk but it only has space for one battery but only needs USB (slow charge option).
I have now swapped the chargers so the dual one is attached to my PC and an electrical outlet, the left led seems to be for the 2nd battery and it changed red when I plugged in a low battery otherwise nothing else happened.
We are now negotiating for a new charger . . . .

Defective Mogul Cradle
I just obtained a new car cradle from Buy GPS Now
http://www.buyGPSnow.com
The thing is an absolute piece of junk. This is the second one they sent me. They claimed the first one needed a longer USB connector and that this new one was equipped with it.
Well that is not the case. The new one has some rubber strips on the sides to hold the phone in place because the device is really made for the thicker TyTn’s such at the AT&T 8125, 8525 and the new TyTn II (Tilt).
It is obvious that there is no one doing any quality control. On the first one I though it may be the length of the USB as they claim so I took it apart and plugged the full connector into the Mogul and powered it up, and the same conditions existed: the device would charge for a second and then stop charging and then the phone would lock up. This is a firmware issue not a connector issue.
Anyway they are slow to respond since they do not have a telephone number and you wait forever for a live chat person who seems to be NOT Empowered to do anything . . .
I got 2 from here and they work real nice, very high quality batteries, lasts longer than my original one from sprint... I tried those $10 or less batteries before and their capacity fluctuate wildly, but not these:

click store link and enter device, Sprint Mogul or Verizon XV6800
I have not ordered anyhing here yet.
Bought the 3200 mAh battery from Seidio
Bought it about 3-4 days ago. Showed up without any fanfare. Also got the slim rubberized case (hint, the super extended battery and the slim rubberized case DO NOT go together).
So far, I have been charging like normal, I usually keep it plugged in at work and have noticed that about 30 minutes after taking it off the cable, the power drops to about 90%. this could be the battery "conditioning" as the Seidio site says. Don't know yet.
Oh, I had to write to Seidio to point out that the main page graphic says "3600 mAh" and the battery that ships is 3200 mAh. Apparently the only ones who make a 3600 mAh battery are Mugen (google it, Mugen 3600 mAh Mogul battery).
I also ordered the stylus/pen combo. This is worth the money. I'm constantly looking for a pen, but ALWAYS have my phone. The pen expands out to be very comfortable to hold, not some tiny thing that you're left feeling like a giant with a midget pen.
The battery... well, time will tell if the expense was worth the cost.
Can more people who have either the Seidio 3200 or the Mugen 3600 batteries post something on performance or experience so I can get an idea. I am still debating. Seidio 3200 or Mugen 3600. I have a Verizon XV6800. I'm a power user and i will gladly sacrifice the size of my device for more battery life. I'm also debating on whether I should get 1 or 2 of these. Having the stock battery is like being on a leash...well for me at least. I did a bunch of searches on forums but there is not too much info especially on the Mugen 3600mah. Thanks guys.
Mugen or Seidio, you'll have to judge for yourself
I have the Seidio. I'm not about to go out and buy a Mugen as well as the Seidio battery. These things are quite large to lug around in my pocket. I may be a power user as well. The only question is, are you not near a power source for a long enough time to warrant getting one of these?

Thanks for the speedy response. My problem is i play in alot off basket leagues and tournaments and for work am out at a customer siteanywhere from 8 to 18 hours...nothing looks more ghetto than being with a customer and asking if they have a place you can charge your ur cell...lol. I need the secure feeling that i dont have to charge my phone 8 times a day. I actually think i am going to get 2 of the Seidio 3200s because i like the rubber case that they may be coming out with.
OK so like some others i have the strange problem that the charging cable is "falling" from the connector on my note 2.
i have found a solution with replacement cable from HAMA and it was great cause the connector is about 1 mm longer and keep "stuck" inside the not 2
the problem is that i have found out the charging is slow...
i thought its my imagination but i take the charger on my bag to work and yesterday night went to sleep with about 12% battery and connecting to the charger i was sure that in the morning the battery will be full....
i woke up 3.5 hours later to work and ... ooops only 74% battery...
i decided that it has to be the cable so i took with me the original cable and here i am at work connecting the charger and in about few minutes i got 80% battery.
so i guess we have to find a thick cable cause "having" 2A charging is depend also on the cable thickness ...
I had similar problems here : http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2015459
It looks like all cables are not created equal.
I doubt it was the gauge. It probably was that the pins weren't fully contacting because they weren't aligned right or something. It doesn't take much wire to deliver 10 watts.
I don't have problems with charging, but the cable fit is very loose and can be very easily disconnected. I thought it's just me.
I too have noticed shower charge rate on other chargers/cables. I used one of my old palm pre (yes remember those) chargers and cable to charge my note2 one day and it took forever. Not sure what the reading is buti believe it was a 1.5a charger witha thinner wire.
I am using the stock Samsung note 2 charger/cable my phone came with and it is much faster. On the cable it says 23AWGx2. Not sure what the x2 is but i would look for the same 23 AWG.
I also have an I go charger with the interchangeable tips. I believe it is a 2a charger. Not sure about the wire gauge but it is thicker. It also charges fast like the stock one.
I'm guessing the smaller gauge wire loses some charge through the extra heat it is generating to push the2a required. I did notice on the palm pre charger that it was hot.
I have noticed on all my chargers besides the stock one I have to push much harder to plug it in. I hope its not damaging the connector on the phone.

The important thing is amperes, not watts. And 2A is not that small.
I tried using the following site to calculate the voltage drop : h ttp://genuinedealz.com/voltage-drop.html. And with 4ft of 28AWG cable at 2A, the voltage drop is 1V. And 5V-1V=4V is not enough to completely charge li-ion batteries. Switch to 20AWG and the voltage drop becomes a more reasonable 0.16V.
Also, voltage drop is proportional to length, so longer cables must be thicker to compensate.
Can someone recommend a good replacement battery to be used as a spare, and then a desktop charger for the extra battery?
There are many varieties and sources, which one(s) have worked for you -- and would you buy them again?
I got a 3100 mah anker on amazon. Performs the same as stock I think. Doesn't come with a recharger though.

Edit: I've had Anker batteries for my GS2 when I had it. Had no problems whatsoever.
why not just get an external battery instead of a battery and battery charger? Anker makes a 10kmah one that is fairly cheap.
Why not the official Samsung one on the Samsung website?
Its priced at $50, comes with the same battery that comes with the phone and folds closed for travel. Also works as a stand for the phone.
If you search you can get a 50% off coupon and get it for only $24.99....seems like a great deal to me.
I plan on getting one myself for my upcoming 2 week trip.....
Sent From My Ginormous Note 2
I like to live lavishly so I own the official Samsung charger that includes the extra battery, the official samsung 9000mah external battery, and the 10,000mah anker external battery someone mentioned above. I can recommend all of them.
One thing to note though. The 9000mah samsung external charger just has one USB port for charging. It also doesn't include its own charger to recharge it. The 10,000mah anker external battery has its own charger included, 2 USB charging ports, and a 3rd output to charge laptops (includes multiple adapters).
I've got for present gold battery that was purchased on alibaba, which has a rated output of 4200m, which is absolutely not true. At first I was skeptical and I have to admit that battery performed well. Who use it and carry it back in my purse in case I am not able to recharge the phone with the original battery. I understand the alibaba the battery is pretty cheap, and in my humble opinion, if the battery is used as a backup should not throw the extra money that would be well for us for a few hours ...
I loved having spare batteries for my Galaxy S3 and I had an Anker (same size and capacity of original Samsung one) which would last longer than the stock Samsung battery so I figured that's what I'd buy now that I have a Note 2. I bought the 2-pack with external charger from Amazon (click here for link) and I'm somewhat disappointed. Both of the Anker batteries stick out about 1-2mm at the bottom (above the speaker) which prevents the back cover from snapping shut completely. This isn't that big of a deal since I use a TPU case, but it's disappointing. I haven't been through enough cycles to test whether the battery life is the same, but considering my phone lasts over 2 days on a charge with the stock battery it'll take a while.
I did, however, order a single QCell battery with external charger from Amazon (click here for link) and UPS literally dropped it off 10 minutes ago. I immediately tried putting it in the phone and it sits flush, so I already like it more than the Anker. It only has 56% charge so I'll have to measure the battery life after a couple more cycles.
I'd recommend buying a single battery with external charger and making sure you like it before ordering a second spare if you want. I'm highly considering returning the Ankers and buying another QCell after I finish all my testing.

My batteries don't stick out. My back cover snaps completely shut and I'm able to put my diztronic case on it, too. I bought it a little over a week ago. I had them just in case at the Chicago Auto Show.
I prefer spare batteries than external battery packs and what not. It was very useful at Universal Studios. I was able to just pop the dead battery out and put a fresh one in as opposed to plugging a battery pack in.

I agree about batteries vs. External charger. I like being able to pop in a new battery and being at 100%. I don't want to wait to have it charge when I want to use it.
I just got my Anker batteries last night I will be doing my "scientific" experiments with them tonight to compare the two.

Yeah I think this is what I'm going to do.
Thanks all for the input, having the native samsung battery seems to make the most sense.
I used to carry around 1 or 2 spare batteries for my S4, which was great they are small and fitted in my pocket easily.
I have just bought the Anker Astro mini with 3200Mah. I thought this would be enough to fully charge the s6 edge, however it only charged it to 65%. It did get quite hot, so it cannot be too efficient.
It also says its lipstick sized, not that I own any lipstick (male) but It looks like a very big lipstick.
id like a charger that is around 3000mah that will hopefully charge as full as possible but that also fits easily on my pocket or wallet. I have seen plenty of wallet packs, but they are often too small capacity and would only likely charge to 30%.
Anyone come across some decent pocket sized portable chargers? small as possible with a capacity of at least 300mah
I've just ordered a qistone which is a portable wireless charger 4000mah. Its got a good £20 off at Amazon at the min.
From video reviews it look like could fit in your pocket easy, plus fact it's wireless means you don't need to carry cables around.
I will let you now as soon as I get it
I purchased this Amazon Basics powerbank, comes with a built in cable and can charge the device once entirely with a little juice left to spare. Super pocketable too.

I've had two (well, three, since my wife lost hers once - but I digress) Anker 2nd Gen Astro Minis for a little over a year, and they've never been a problem. Decent price at $13.00 for the black ones.

Do you find it fully charges your phone? do you have an s6? Think the capacity of the s6 edge is 2650 mah and the anker 2d Gen Astro is 3200MAH, so even with heat loss etc, I would have thought this should fully charge once. But mine only got to 65%. I have only tried it once, maybe it just needs a few charges before it works efficiently.

I have an S6 (Edge) and have not (in the two weeks I've had it) had to attempt a charge from zero or near-zero using the Astro.
It did recharge my S5 to about 85% from dead-flat though. I suspect it would do the same with the S6/S6 Edge.
Groupon Deals
If you search s6 in groupon for the next few days they have a 3800 mAh battery case for 30$! I just bought a black one I'll post a review once it arrives!

Hi man,
I had the same problem of having a S4 with extra battery and now with S6 I need a pocket size battery to charge it.
I looked a lot around and I found this:
http://www.amazon.com/Energio-Porta...=UTF8&qid=1430707677&sr=1-4&keywords=3850+mah
It charges My S6 from 17% to 100%. and is pocket size.... And have built in cable!
Hope it helps.
Always had luck with the Anker powerbanks. But want my next one to be a quick charge 2.0 capable charger like the Aukey one, which is currently sold out on amazon.
I would suggest iWalk 6000mAh Ultra Slim Battery & small size
which charges Note Edge Fully & still has 20% remaining
It has built in Micro usb & Lightning wires 2amp out
and also a Usb out with 2.4amp
i have the 10000mAh its awesome
I just received my review unit of the Cheotech Fast Wireless Charger. This charger costs 34 dollars on amazon. It supports auto-dimming so you don't have to worry about a glowing puck at night.
Just wanted to update this post with a $8 off code. Here is the code number: FOX9T3SJ Enjoy!

good review , and no angry pitch
I got the white version of this CHOETECH Fast Wireless Charger at Amazon. I use it with the new Samsung Galaxy Note 5 & the fast charging is working great. This can be purchased with the pad on it's own or bundled with a fast charging wall adapter.

I have bought this Choetech Fast Wireless Charger yesterday. I am happy with its fast charging and LED Light Charging Status indicator.
Can the lights be shut off completely? I'd like to have one of these on my night stand but wouldn't want any light.
I received my charger from Choetech today and left my review on amazon, I have copied it here as well for the folks at XDA.
Feel free to ask any questions, I will try to answer them as best I can.
First, this is an amazing charger. Choetech always makes good products.
I received this in 2 days and set about testing it.
I was going to make a video showing off this thing fast charging on a Samsung Galaxy Note 5 but I see that there are already 2 excellent videos up showing that. So instead I will show you the things they did not highlight as much.
OK, the quick charge 2.0 wall plug you can get with this is the best one I have ever tried. Just like the other Qualcomm certified chargers, you will get the self adjusting voltages (12v-9v-5v) to give you a super fast charge. The extra you get with this Choetech quick charge 2.0 adapter is the USB port on it is reversible! This is the first charger I have seen with this and I now think everything should have this.
Ok now to the real reason you are reading this. The charging puck itself is a nice clean looking puck.
It is defiantly thicker than the cheapo ones you get for a few dollars. It has some heft to it making it feel more premium.
It has rubber top and bottom to keep both the charger from slipping on your desk or the phone from slipping on top the charger.
It will most defiantly charge your Note 5 or other Samsung devices quickly.
It will also charge your older devices as well. I tested it on a few LG phones in addition to the Note 5.
I noticed no abnormal warmth from the charger or any of the phones I tested this with. This is a very welcome thing as most of my other qi chargers do have heat issues.
One final thing, I tested this charger on my moto 360 and it charged it flawlessly. Most qi chargers fail here and will overheat this watch, this one did not and it charged my moto 360 from 19% to full in about 35 minutes. that is about 15 minutes faster than the stock charger does.
I have attached some pictures and may upload a video in a day or 2 after I have some more time to test this gem out.
I received this product in exchange for an honest review, this does not affect my opinion of this product.
My Review
Hey guys and gals, I received my CHOETECH Fast Wireless Charger a few days ago and wanted to add my review to this thread.
It starts off with nice packaging with color graphics on the front and information about the charger on the back. Once you open the package up, the fast wireless charging puck and included USB cable are both neatly and safely inside. The fast wireless charging puck has a piece of protective plastic on it which you will need to remove before charging.
The wireless charging puck itself is very nice. It's small and compact, has a nice gloss finish to it and has a rubber ring around it so your phone won't slide off of it while charging. The bottom also has a rubber ring around it so the puck won't slide around on whatever surface you put it on. I know this is pretty standard fare at this stage in the game, but very nice touches for a very fairly priced fast wireless charger.
How about performance? This is the most important aspect, right? To put it bluntly, it's fantastic. Compared to the Samsung branded counterpart of this, it performs admirably to say the least. And at basically half the price. I have consistently been getting about 8% charge every 10 minutes. Very respectable and performs up to spec as far as I can tell. If my math is correct, you are looking at about a little over 2 hours to charge from 0-100%.
I've also noticed that the charger has a fairly large sweet spot. You don't have to be perfect with putting your phone on there, it will charge off center. Another nice feature is the auto dimming. In bright light, the charger has green lights that glow while you are charging. The lights turn blue when you are fully charged. In low light, the lights get much dimmer. In the dark, the lights turn off completely. This is an awesome feature for people who are sensitive to lights while trying to sleep.
Overall, I highly recommend this charger. It charges fast (as advertised) and is sold at a great price. It is also well built and the auto dimming feature is very welcomed and a great addition that I didn't expect at this price point.
Yes, charge light was shut off completely.

Can the lights be shut off completely? I'd like to have one of these on my night stand but wouldn't want any light.

The light goes off automatically in the dark. Perfect one for bedside use.
Got mine today in black. Very sleek and surprisingly dense. Short video here https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6wMc2FBoOuY
Fast charging wirelessly is super convenient, can't say enough good things about. I know the OEM samsung fast charger has vents on the bottom because of heating. Wondering how well this will dissipate heat in the long run.
I charge over night. I would assume this would stop charging once full right? So its safe to leave it on the pad till morning... I normally unplug in the morning
How is it with placement? I can't ever seem to get phone to charge and stay charging even on 3 coil chargers
Seems to connect easily as long as you place it near the center. In the video I posted I remove and connect a few times,each time it registered fine without having to adjust placements.
Hi All,
I also just received the Choetech Quick Charger and absolutely love it! My initial impression is that the build quality is superb. It has some heft to it and seems to be built to last. The top and bottom have rubber grip zones to prevent the charger and phone from sliding around on my desk. I also like how the LED shuts off when the room is dark (great for sleeping) as I always hate bright lights at night.
As other reviewers have mentioned, it can charge the phone from 0-100% in about 2 hours which is about an hour faster then the normal wireless chargers. There's no way I would recommend buying the Samsung quick charge variant over this version as it is half the cost with the same functionality.
I haven't had any issues with the charger detecting my phone using the Spigen Liquid Crystal case and would assume that any slim fit case would be just fine.
Overall, I'm extremely satisfied with the product and would recommend it! Please reach out to me if you have questions. I'll do my best to answer them in a timely manor.

I charged mine overnight and woke up to a full charge. The phone wasn't hot (and neither was the wireless charger) so I'd say that it is safe to use overnight.
I received mine today and I can actually charge my Note 5 with the flap opened and pinned back on my folio case. Here's the case I have for reference: http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B010MWJG0U?psc=1&redirect=true&ref_=oh_aui_detailpage_o02_s00
When the phone is 100% charged does the charger receive the charging complete signal from the Note 5 and cut the power output from the Choetech charger? Or is the charger at 10W all the time?
