so i am looking for a 2nd battery that i can charge externally meaning not on the phone but like a second charger source other than a dock help would be appreciative thanks..
I just read somewhere in a forum today that there is a way to charge a battery just by using a usb cable with one end cut off and the wires exposed. You would have to google it to find it (what the post said). Think that is one option along the lines of what you are looking for.
*EDIT: You said something "other than a dock" in the title, so what I posted above wasn't a dock!

You can buy a Motorola battery dock from Amazon.com
http://www.amazon.com/Motorola-8950...1FIG/ref=sr_1_2?ie=UTF8&qid=1325124341&sr=8-2
I have one and love it! It comes with a standard battery, and it also charges the extended battery.

I bought my BIONIC from CostCo and they threw that in with my purchase (along with a lot of other stuff).
I have dual extended batteries (best $50 I ever spent) and I charge on in that dock while the other is in my phone.
Yeah I already have standard dock but it doesnt charge batteries

Get one from ebay. They are cheap but does the job. Buy 2 just incase one breaks. If you want to go expensive way, get the OEM which comes with spare battery for around $40-$50. I have both but on ebay one, pins need to be set every time you insert the battery which is kind of pain. Also OEM charges little faster. As I said, even the cheap ebay ones will do the job.

Haven't posted enough to be able to provide a link, but go to amazon and search for: Motorola Battery Only Charger for BF, HF, BW, and HW Series Batteries
Bought one today at Verizon and it works well. And came with a oem battery.
Took 4 hours to charge the extended battery I also bought at the same time.

Hey guys I'm going to Pakistan and over there they use the round outlets I was wondering do I just need a converter there to be able to charge my tablet cause my dad said that it would overheat because the voltage differences need an answer asap thanks

Call these guys. They probably know.

Look on the N7's charging adapter. If it is multi voltage ( it will say something like 110-220v or something similar), all you need is a plug adapter. Else, you need a voltage converter.

Most electronics are dual voltage. So all you need is the plug converter.

I don't have the iriginal charger, so I use a 1amper charger I used on my Sensation. The charger of the One seems to be the same, so why does my phone charge so slow? For the first time today I played a game and the battery discharges while the charger us plugged in. Maybe the input is limited, cause the phone knows it's not the original charger? Please help

Battery monitor widget. It's free and shows the current charge in mAh and graphic. Note that the phone charges faster when on low battery and than slows down. Anything over 900 mAh is a good charger

So the +370 is the charger right? Just wondering because all my Chargers is about the same thanks
Sent from my HTC One using Tapatalk
Is it? I couldn't find it in my searching the webs. I seem to be a pretty pathetic researcher because even all my searches for Amazon and forums, all I could find was articles saying there is a separate charger which supports Qualcomm's QuickCharge 2.0, but no link in them
Can anyone help me (if it's released at all) by giving me an amazon link for it? Thanks

You might want to have a go at reading yourself.
It means it is the same shape as the original charger. The charger in the link is 7.5w which is higher than the 5w that the charger in the box has hence the reason it is called a 'fast charger' and not just called a 'charger'
See photo of the charger that came with the phone.

The problem is the website. It's not advertising very well. It leads you to believe it's a "new" product yet says it's the same one as comes in box.
Very confusing. I certainly would not rush to order until it's confirmed this is indeed the Quick Charge 2.0 variant were waiting for.
Irritatingly it doesn't state the voltage or amps output. We'd know for sure then. I would expect the Quick Charge 2.0 charger to have s higher wattage to be honest.

HTC is on record stating that it's not merely a matter of the quick charge 2.0 adapter but also a software patch that will come "later this year". So even if you managed to obtain a suitable charger from Japan or Taiwan it would just charge at normal speed until HTC releases or leaks the patch.

Higher current chargers will charge faster regardless of patch. That's basic electrical principles.
However to take advantage of Quick Charge 2.0 which is a feature built in to the handset and the charger will require a software patch.

Again read the title, it is a 7.5w charger and the one that comes with the phone is 5w, now I'm sure you know the difference between the two.

Higher then 7.5w.
Straight from the mouth of the horse that created the technology.

"Products with Quick Charge 2.0 can charge up to 75 percent faster than products without the technology. While Quick Charge 1.0 technology, with about 10 watts of power, was designed primarily for smartphones and tablets, Quick Charge 2.0 delivers up to 60 watts, not only improving charge times for smartphones and tablets, but adding support for larger mobile computing devices like slim notebooks."
Sounds like a Quick Charge 1.0 to me.

W = V * A
Watt = Volt * Amperage
The charger in the box I got (and on the screenshot poster earlier) produces 5V 1.5A ->
5 * 1.5 = 7.5
In other words, the one in the box already is 7.5W, and the one advertised on the website posted earlier is exactly the same!
Chargers which output more Amperage (2.0A for instance) charge the device faster.
These chargers include but are not limited to indeed the Blackberry Playbook Charger, Samsung chargers and a LOT of off-market chargers.
The Quickcharge 2.0 standard can charge even faster than these chargers, but as has been mentioned a lot of times, they are not out yet, and even if they were we would still need the software update from HTC

*applauds* finally someone else that understands! Was beginning to think I was alone xD
Not sure where GTCC was getting 5w from to be honest, probably confusing watts and volts as the in the box charger is 5v @ 1.5a.
Honestly think that website is just playing a game to sell more chargers by advertising the watts value, something which is not normally advertised over volts and amps.
