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.
There is an existing thread about the same docking station here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1095395
(except mine is from this seller and sold $ 23.-, free shipping, without the car charger:
http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=180667553428&ssPageName=ADME:B:EOIBSA:CH:1123 and arrive after about 10 day at my home in europe)
So I won't say to many things about the dock, beside confirming it's made of good quality and is charging the Streak 5 perfectly (not enough place to hold the streak with any cover around nor the 2'400 or 4'800 mAh extended battery in it). It will charge only one piece at a time with the supplied 1'500 mA charger, first the external battery, then the streak 5. If you want to charge both at the same time, you'll have to plug the supplied USB cable in a computer or in another charger with a USB plug.
Bought also a 2'000 mA (yes!) car charger from the same seller for $ 6.30, came with a streak usb cable and is working fine.
Now to the 1'800 mAh standard sized battery: bought two of them with an external charger for $ 13.- including shipment here: http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=170657953719&ssPageName=ADME:B:EOIBSA:CH:1123
Can't say anything about how long it lasts yet 'cause I just charged and installed one in my streak tonight. Will update about it soon. I can of course not confirm in any way the accuracy of the supposed 1'800 mAh capacity, but one funny thing is that it actually weighs less than the original 1'530 mAh one! 31 grams instead of 36 grams. It might only be because of some padding or size of cables/casing, or it might be because it's absolutly not a 1'800 mAh battery...
Can anyone who bought a non genuine 1'530 or 1'600 mAh battery (read: Chinese) please give us the precise weight of it to compare? thanks.
The external charger came with a European plug adapter and can also be used as a usb charger since it has a 5.2V 800mA usb plug at one end.
I'm still expecting some of those silicone cases to see how they fit and protect my lovely but fragile baby.
Edit: silicon cases arrived. one black, one transparent and one grey-transparent. -> Power key a little hard to press (to power the phone/ display), volume up button to easy to activate, but beside this, the case fits perfectly.
Edit 2: I got one of the 1800mAh batteries working for 12 hours with the phone on and have now about 50% Power left. Only a few phone calls, some messaging & mailing and a little surfing. So very moderate use.
Did you test the 1800 mah battery? MY streak is just an the way, thinking about ordering same item as you...
Yes tested, but not with the phone on for the moment, so no good comparison. Only a little wifi and on standby.
In a few days I'll use it as my main phone and will report soon. But the new batteries work good, so you don't risk much anyway. And the dock and the external charger are very practical.
Thanks for your reply
Great, just ordered a single 1800 mah battery for 2,52 € including shipping.
Dock would be great too, I guess. But it isn't possible to use the dock when you have a silicon case on your streak, is it?
Well actually you can fit it on the dock with the silicon case, but the plug won't connect to the streak deep enough (you have to push it all the way down without the case to make it work). Maybe it could be modded to work with the casing, but I won't give it a try (Not yet. I already upgraded the internal 2GB microsdhc memory to 8GB with Patriot class 10 card -> a lot of room to install apps! And no boot.ini file to mod, it will just format it and reinstall the system on first boot).
Edit: ok, I gave it a try and unscrewed the dock to see it's innards.
The plug is kind of glued on the top (where the wires come out of it) and melted on the extremeties to the inside of the dock. I guess there is some modding allowed here, but you need to cut it and glue it back a little higher/further up. The perfect mod would be to build the plug on some kind of springs, in order to be able to use it with and without the silicon case.
Just wanted to post a brief review of the RND Power Solutions Deluxe Cradle. I saw another thread on their synch/charge cradle, but not for this cradle.
I purchased it via Amazon for $25 + $3 shipping. It arrived quickly.
It holds the Note 2 in a vertical position and also holds and charges a second battery at the same time. I bought one in white. It is a brighter white than the front of my white Note 2, but it certainly looks like it was made to go with my phone. I think it looks sharp. The phone is sturdily held; it's easy to use the screen while the phone is in the cradle. I have not measured the charging time for either the phone or the second battery. However, they both seem to charge at "normal" speeds.
Overall, I'm very happy with my purchase.
Does it come with a charger?
Samsung sells a really nice similar bundle that comes with a second battery but I don't think it charges the phone while docked
swyped all these spelling errors from my galaxy note 2
Yes, it comes with a charger.
I saw the Samsung one. As you mention, it doesn't charge the phone. That's why I bought the RND one.
What amperage does it charge at? How about the battery recharger? If you use the Samsung OEM power cable the Samsung OEM charger will charge at 1.7 amps which is the highest I've seen. Fully recharges drained battery in 2 to 3 hours. These 450 mah or lower chargers take FOREVER and if you are suing the phone will drain faster than they charge. Unless the main charger is 2.1 amps it isnt worth it.
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
So I just received the ZeroLemon Note 5 8500mAh Extended Charger Case that ZeroLemon sent me to review. Here are my initial thoughts, along with some pictures.
-IT IS HUGE! Just like the ZeroLemon 3500mAh battery case, the battery is separate from the case. Unlike the 3500mAh battery though, this battery is almost as big as the phone itself, falling about 2mm shorter on both length and width. But the battery is about 3mm thicker than the phone. With the battery and case on the phone, it is about 1.5x as thick as normal.
-It actually feels better in my hands than the 3500mAh version. Despite this case being so much bigger than the 3500mAh version, I actually like the way it fits in my hands better. The design of the case is a big improvement over the 3500mAh version. It does add more weight than the 3500mAh version, but it feels like it is distributed more evenly due to the size and shape of the battery.
-Unfortunately the battery alone does not fast charge my Note 5. This was a complaint I had on the 3500mAh version as well, and I am dissapointed to see that it is still an issue with this battery case. I have not found any information as to why fast charging isn't implemented, though I have a few possible ideas. I have reached out to ZeroLemon for clarification and will update when I head anything.
-The battery does pass through fast charging when connected to my Aukey 3-port USB charger (1 of the ports is fast charge). The battery alone does not fast charge, but it is nice to see that ZeroLemon is able to pass fast charging through the battery to the phone.
-The battery has a full sized USB 2.0 Type-A connector for charging other devices. This is an interesting feature that I have not seen before. I charged my Note 5 with this port, and just like the MicroUSB port this does not fast charge my phone. The odd thing about this USB port is that when I plug my phone into that port, and than plug the battery in to charge from my wall outlet that port stops working and my phone stops charging. I have reached out to ZeroLemon to find out why that is.
-If I plug my phone into the battery, and than plug the battery into my Samsung Fast Charge external battery it also passes fast charge through.
-The 8500mAh battery case came with an extra curved MicroUSB to MicroUSB adapter, but no headphne jack extender. The distance to the headphone jack is about the same as the 3500mAh version which did come with an extender. Since this is a unit sent to me for free to review, they may have left it out. I have contacted ZeroLemon to find out.
So far this is all I have. I will post an update on a few days after I have used the battery case with more information on how long the battery lasts.

I would highly recommend the 8500mAh version over the 3500mAh version. They both have similar downsides, like the battery alone won't fast charge, but I actually like the size of the 8500mAh version better. I have a car mount that works with the 8500mAh version but not the 3500mAh version. Also, if I am going to have a huge phone because of the battery case, I would rather it actually help my phone last 2 or more days on a single charge. The 3500mAh battery wouldn't charge my phone from 0 to 100%, the 8500mAh battery will do that, I haven't fully tested how many times it will go from 0 to 100%, but so far it seems like it should be at least 1.5x if not 2x

Can you also open the battery compartment and snap a few pics to show the internals? I have the 3500 and the circuitry is confined to the bottom of the enclosure. I'd be curious to know if there is separate circuitry up at the type A connector or just a line going to the circuit board at the bottom.

Ah, that is quite interseting. I don't think it would be so easy with this one. The battery is sealed similarly to their extended batteries for the LG G3 and Galaxy S4. There is no cover to pop off, I would have to unwrap it, which I am unwilling to do at this point in time.

No problem, I guess I'll have to order one on my own and tear it open.
Has anyone found a suitable belt clip setup for this case yet? Im all in but putting this thing in even my pocket is going to be impossible. No belt clip kind of limits the case to women who carry bags..

It does add more weight than the 3500mAh version, but it feels like it is distributed more evenly due to the size and shape of the battery.
-Unfortunately the battery alone does not fast charge my Note 5. This was a complaint I had on the 3500mAh version as well, and I am dissapointed to see that it is still an issue with this battery case. I have not found any information as to why fast charging isn't implemented, though I have a few possible ideas. I have reached out to ZeroLemon for clarification and will update when I head anything.
-The battery does pass through fast charging when connected to my Aukey 3-port USB charger (1 of the ports is fast charge). The battery alone does not fast charge, but it is nice to see that ZeroLemon is able to pass fast charging through the battery to the phone.
-The battery has a full sized USB 2.0 Type-A connector for charging other devices. This is an interesting feature that I have not seen before. I charged my Note 5 with this port, and just like the MicroUSB port this does not fast charge my phone. The odd thing about this USB port is that when I plug my phone into that port, and than plug the battery in to charge from my wall outlet that port stops working and my phone stops charging. I have reached out to ZeroLemon to find out why that is.
-If I plug my phone into the battery, and than plug the battery into my Samsung Fast Charge external battery it also passes fast charge through.
-The 8500mAh battery case came with an extra curved MicroUSB to MicroUSB adapter, but no headphne jack extender. The distance to the headphone jack is about the same as the 3500mAh version which did come with an extender. Since this is a unit sent to me for free to review, they may have left it out. I have contacted ZeroLemon to find out.
So far this is all I have. I will post an update on a few days after I have used the battery case with more information on how long the battery lasts.

Hi,
Sorry for taking so long to reach you. Please kindly note that this battery pack only passthroughs quick charge but not supports quick charge.
The reason why we don’t include quick charge to this battery pack is because of these three limitations which are our major concerns.
First reason is that the larger IC board used to accommodate QuickCharge will reduce the capacity of the battery pack which is against our intention to provide high capacity battery case.
Secondly, if the battery pack and the phone both have QuickCharge activated, it is possible that the phone will overheat to an unsafe level.
At last, QuickCharge Support requires Qualcomm certification which significantly increases the cost of the product due to further licensing and testing cost; as a result, the price will be higher.
Regarding to the issue with the Type A micro USB port, for better protection to the battery pack, the battery pack can not be charged and discharged at the same time.
And for the earphone jack adapter, most headphones are supposed to be able to plug into the headphone jack as tested by our tech team. If you do need one, we will send it to you for free. Please keep in contact with us to let us know your opinion. Anyone who needs earphone jack adapters can contact our customer support to get one.
Hope I have resolved your issues and answered your questions. Thanks for your feedback and support to ZeroLemon.

Has anyone found a suitable belt clip setup for this case yet? Im all in but putting this thing in even my pocket is going to be impossible. No belt clip kind of limits the case to women who carry bags..

ZeroLemon released a belt clip. It is a little bit dissapointing the 8500mAh battery case doesn't include this. Both my LG G3 and Galaxy S4 ZeroLemon extended baterries came with a belt clip. Idk why the change with the Note 5, but it is dissapointing.

Looking at the picture it appears you can only mount the phone with the screen facing the inside. This would make the kickstand feature kind of pointless. Has anyone here tried the belt clip?
