X1 battery charger, directly to the battery?

Would anyone know of a battery charger that will charge the X1 battery, without it being inside the phone?
It would need the charging circuitry, to at least stop charging once the battery is full. I have seen stands for other models, in which the phone also gets charged with a slot for a second battery, but since the X1 charges from the top left and not the bottom, this layout wouldn't be attractive to suppliers in principle.

cbc-100
ep900

i believe its the CBC-200 http://www.sonyericsson.com/cws/products/accessories/overview/cbc-200#view=overview
and ep900 http://www.sonyericsson.com/cws/products/accessories/overview/ep900#view=overview
the difference is the connector it uses. CBC-200 is the fastport connector
while the ep900 is the microusb connector
both charge the x1/x2's BST-41 battery

Thanks very much Reversedhex, Jonny4911
Whilst looking for the EP900, I came across this: http://www.octilus.com/cargador-sobremesa-y-sincronizacion-sony-ericsson-xperia-p-150426.html
as you can see, it syncs/charges the phone, and can also charge a battery on its own (but not both at the same time), with a LED to indicate charge. €30, may give it a go if I can't track down the EP900
and here (in English) http://www.mobilefun.co.uk/sony-ericsson-xperia-x1-dual-desktop-charging-cradle-p17830.htm

Well I couldn't find anyone to sell me the SE spare battery charger, which is a shame, but I bought the stand-charger-spare battery charger from Mobile Fun.
It comes with a wall charger that connects via mini-USB to the stand itself. There is a space to charge the spare battery (the battery goes "face-down") and a holder for the phone, plus a cable that charges the phone directly.
It works well. The only negative points are extremely bright LEDs to indicate the stand is plugged in, and charging. Not a good idea for the bedside table... but resolved with some insulation tape over the LEDs.
Secondly, it does charge the phone as expected if you plug the phone in then unplug the spare battery, but the LED battery status light does not change colour immediately.
So in short, it's a good piece of kit.

I have the cbc-200 i bought it off of amazon from germany for £30. To be honest its designed well but its not particulary strong plastic. Certainly not £30 worth of plastic anyway, its pretty handy and i had a fastport charger from my p1i anyway so i use that. The only problem is if u leave the battery in it wen its not charging the red flashing light discarges the battery. Which isnt very helpful. Especially wen your in the lake district miles away from any electrical source. Hope this is useful to someone. B

Nice Info..
Thanks everybody

If you happen to be in Madrid - Octilus have the charger/spare battery charger on sale for €16.95
I may just buy it, since the one I bought from Mobile Fun back in Jan doesn't charge the spare battery directly any more...

I bought one from ebay, it was new and unused and bundled with a non original battery, it was only 9 dolars (6.5 euros) including shipping. It came from hong kong if i recall well. The battery lasts much less than the original but it was definatelly worth it. In short, there are solutions to your problem

[REVIEW] Samsung Note 2 Stand and Spare Battery Charger (3100mAh Battery Included)

I have bought this item: http://www.amazon.com/Samsung-Battery-Charger-3100mAh-Included/dp/B009M5J9HY/ref=sr_1_3?s=wireless&ie=UTF8&qid=1369030345&sr=1-3&keywords=note+2+charger
I am really disappointed with this. First, I thought the unit was defective, since I was completely unable to charge either my original battery or the one that came with the charger (battery EB595675LU, with Chinese writings added to the language list). I tried different cables and wall sockets and got nothing. The unit does have one LED light, but it never came on. Eventually, I noticed that it would actually work if I shoved the USB cable in really tight. I also learned that a 0.000001-inch move would disconnect the power, even if the cable was still physically connected to the charger. Keep in mind that this happened straight out of the box on the day it arrived. It was brand new.
After discovering that the charger could not be moved at all or it would not charge the battery, I was able to charge the battery that came with it (EB595675LU). It charged OK, but I felt it had less power than the original battery. It drained much faster than the original battery, even when I was home with Wifi on instead of LTE. I think that happened for one of two reasons: (1) the charger didn't completely charge the battery, or (2) the battery is indeed crappy/fake/less powerful than the original one.
At this point, I'm unhappy with the quality of the product. It's brand new and I already have to deal with the problem of the cable moving and disconnecting the power. If this charger is really from Samsung, this quality is unacceptable. That's terrible. But wait! There's more! I used the second battery until it died and tried to charge it in my phone. No problems there, but the charger completely died. Yes, died as in completely dead. And I've charged one single battery on this thing! Now nothing was working. Original battery, second battery, nothing. It just gave out on me. I looked at the battery contacts and noticed that one of them was not aligned with the other two. I touched the crooked one a little bit and it started working again, but still gave me the USB cable problem (disconnecting power). The crooked contact is still crooked as I didn't want to force it and risk breaking the damn thing.
I wanted to buy this charger and the extra battery because I'll be going on a trip soon and didn't want the extra weight and thickness of an extended battery. I chose to get a second standard battery and a separate charger, so I could just swap batteries on the go if needed. I really hope the unit I got is defective. I can't believe Samsung would put out such a crappy product and expect it to sell. I definitely don't want to be in the middle of nowhere on my trip and find out the stupid charger gave out on me at night and my second battery didn't charge. And what's worse is that just about every separate charger I found on eBay/Amazon has terrible reviews due to quality issues.
My goal is to have a reliable/trustworthy separate charger and a second standard battery. I'll be able to maintain my phone's thin profile, have enough power to take lots of pictures, and have no charge downtime other than overnight. Power banks and extended batteries wouldn't work for me in this case. I hope this review has been helpful.

I have the official Samsung battery & charger stand. Bought mine directly from Samsung using a 50% off code from registering the phone. Works as it should and can be moved around. Only cost 20 bucks, too(50% off)
Sounds like yours might be a knock off. Send it back & get a refund. If you need a 50% off code, pm me.

Battery Issues.

I'm getting 5 hrs sot with my nexus 6 almost every time I charge it, but the problem is that it takes almost 3hrs, the charging time was normal i.e. 1.25hrs when I bought the phone and it worked normally for almost 2 months but now for almost a month it's taking 3 hrs to charge, I use turbo charger and my data cable is the original one, if my battery is faulty how can I check it? I don't have any random reboots. My main question is how can I check if my battery is faulty, there's no bulging on the back side

Kennel issue? If you have USB fast charge on try to disable it and see if that works.

I'm running the stock rom, I've tried different custom roms but the issue remains

Sounds more like a faulty turbo charger to me than a device fault. Based on your SOT and physical normalities, I'm definitely leaning towards the charger. Either contact the original place of purchase, or Motorola support and see if you can get a replacement. That way, you'll know for sure.

Yeah I'm from Pakistan and I bought the device from a local retailer, so no Google or Motorola, therefore can't return or exchange the device or charger, as I mentioned in the op, is there anyway I can check if the battery is faulty? In every battery app the battery health is good and in bootloader battery is ok, does every bootloader shows battery ok? Plus in Ampere my battery voltage never exceeds from 4v while charging and battery charge rate is normal

If your battery was faulty, you'd most likely see rapid drain or early shutdowns. I still think your charger is at fault. Considering it's far cheaper to replace a charger, I'd start there first.

It's either the charger or the wire.
If the data pins in the charger don't have a good solder joint on them, fast charge doesn't work. The same goes for the wire. If either of the 2 wires for data inside your charge cable are frayed or broken, again, fast charge won't work.
I suggest starting with the wire. Grab a new one. Make sure it is a wire that can transfer data. There are charging wires that are only good for power that cannot transfer data.

Thanks alot for explaining it like that, if you don't mind can you inbox me your number, I'd like to Whatsapp you to get more knowledge about this, should I get my turbo charger repaired or what?

I don't give out personal information on XDA for my own safety. However, please feel free to PM me and I'd be happy to help.

Curious in any case wouldn't a Samsung 2amp charger be considered as fast as the rapid charger that comes with nexus? After all in all newer high-end charging docks isn't it the amp output that makes it charge faster?
I use my Samsung white 2 amp on all my phones what make a the nexus piece better? ?

Battery Replacement.

So i have bought a stalion replacement battery from amazon and ive finally been fed up with the shaddy charging and battery life. literally i cant use my phone in moderation during the day without it dying on me and its extremely frustrating. But, battery i recieved in the mail i think has a problem. the docking cable coming out of the battery detaches from the battery itself. so does that mean this is virtually garbage? Or is it still a viable replacement. Need help before i tear my phone apart for no reason for a jank battery.

Replaced my Tab S battery/USB port but still not starting/charging

Hey everyone,
I recently replaced the battery and USB port in my Tab S 10.5 because it wasn't charging properly and the battery eventually died on me. The battery was sitting around for about 1.5 years before I got around to installing it and I believe it was second hand. After replacing the battery/USB port I realised it still wasn't charging so I tested the battery voltage and realised it's 2.81v when it should be 4.2v on both cells when charged (it's a 3.8v battery).
Does anyone know what is the likely problem? I don't know if 2.8 volts is too low or if that's just normal discharge voltage. I need to know if it's worth me buying a new battery or not because obviously I don't want to spend the money on another battery if the problem is something else. Is there any way of troubleshooting whether the battery is the problem or not? What other problems could cause a device to just not start entirely? I know the charging port could be another issue but that's why I replaced it, the replacement was second hand though (despite being advertised as new). Nothing bad has happened to the tablet, I've never dropped it or got it wet for example.
Sorry if this is the wrong place to discuss hardware like batteries but I couldn't find any other place to discuss something like this.
Thanks for any help,

Hello,
Please check the soldering join of the battery socket on the PCB. You may need to use a magnifier or similar tools to get a good look. The solder joins seem to be pretty weak and could be damaged when you replaced the battery. Socket pins on the plastic plug came with those Chinese replacement battery has high insertion force. They make good contact with the pin on the plastic PCB receptacle but could exert excessive force on the PCB join during engaging or removal. It is feasible to repair it if you have suitable soldering tip (chisel type is better) and good eyes. Space is limited due to the RF shielding cage right besides the join. Try going in from the top near vertical way. If available, try working with a microscope.
I went through more or less the same thing you had. First replacing the battery, and port, But performance was strange. Sometimes it charges well to 100% But once in a while it stops in the middle. When the capacity went below 60%, tablet could reset under heavy use. Sometimes it drops from 40% to 15% in less than 15 minutes. It got worse and worse. After installing 3C Battery Manager, I found out there was sudden and severe voltage drop and temperature spike when resetting happens. At the beginning I suspected battery issues as we all know getting those replacement battery is like a gamble. I got another battery from a different vendor and similar thing happened. After fixing the soldering joins, it works really well now and I can enjoy a few days on light use without charging.
Also, some of those replacement batteries are picky on charger. Most likely due to the "innovative" cost-cutting protection circuit design. Some fast charger use a very low charging current and takes very long time to get to 100%.
Good luck !

If it's a multilayered PCB be very careful soldering it. You need to know how to solder well. Excessive/prolonged heating and poor desoldering technique can destroy them.
Replace the battery and go from there. It may have auto shutdown from low cell voltage, if so it's not worth mucking with.
If that doesn't get it's probably a mobo failure of some type.

Hey guys thanks for your replies. Sorry that I forgot about this after I didn't get any replies or I would of updated it. I did manage to get it sorted, the problem was the charger I was using, it wasn't providing enough current so the battery refused to charge at all. It would only charge when plugged into the mains on a decent adapter.
