If I decide the keep the EVO 3D, I'll probably want a spare battery and a charger for the spare battery. I'd consider something like this if it had a spot for a spare battery. I don't want the extended XL batter since I keep my phone in my pants.
http://www.seidioonline.com/product-p/bd2-crdhev3d.htm - anyone know of something like this but with a spare battery charging spot?

Like a few others I have found (and tested) these and It seems to be the best choice. I does include a USB port for dual charging. They cost more but its well worth it:

Thanks, I was thinking about just getting an OEM battery but what I'm looking for ideally is a single cradle that I can just dock my phone in but also have a spare battery charging in.
Here you go:

Have the original one for the OG EVO (about a year now,) worked pretty good....it is on my wifes desk at her work now.
thanks for the link
I found one at the Kidigi site a few weeks ago. It isn't out yet, but I emailed the company and they say it should be available at the end of July.
I saw another model on eBay and a few other sites, but the spare battery charger holds the battery horizontally, which takes up more space on your desk. It looks like the Kidigi cradle holds the spare battery vertically, saving some real estate.
Apologies for not posting a link to it. I joined a few years ago when I had a problem with a different phone but haven't posted enough to be permitted to post links yet. Anyone interested can find the cradle I'm referring to by searching for the manufacturer's name, Kidigi.
I still wish the official HTC dock with the MHL adapter-compatibility also had a spare battery charger, though.

got those ones and they last about the same as the stock battery

I just bought the photon and came from the Epic. For my epic i used to have wall chargers that came with two aftermarket batteries that i bought from ebay. I loved having those, i never had to plug my phone to the cord. The price was like $13 to $15. Has anyone seen anything like this yet? Maybe its too soon.

I've seen a allegedly compatible charger on ebay for about $6-7.
No batteries yet that I've seen.
I have a 2nd from a return and I would love to keep it charged. The charger on ebay seems like an adjustable generic.

that's not a bad price for oem considering the battery alone is 49.99 from moto store...
I'm hoping someone comes out with a dummy desktop dock without the functionality of the HD dock. I need one for work so I can place the Photon in. I hate just laying the Phonon around without a dock.
Also hoping to see desktop phone holder/extra battery charger unit like the one I had for my EVO.

I carried an extra battery for my Epic and I was wanting something like that for the Photon. After taking the back off to put in a memory card I'm a bit concerned about how the back is going to hold up being taken off a lot to switch batteries. I was a bit surprised that my Epic back had lasted a year of being constantly taken off so maybe the Photon will surprise me. If not I guess I will just need to keep a stash of backs handy..

I went ahead and used binder clips to create a dock for my desk at work. Originally used it with my HTC Hero, and am now using it with my Photon.
There is an article on Lifehacker about doing this, which I used for inspiration. (Can't post the URL apparently, since I'm a n00b.)
It might not be pretty, but at least it sits up now and is easily viewable from my usual sitting position.
i dont like bulky battery
Does anyone know if the Atrix battery can fit in the Photon?
Atrix comes with 1950 mA vs. 1650 mA for the Photon

I'm looking for a good battery cradle for my second (OEM) battery. I found this
http://www.ebay.com/itm/USB-Seat-wa...ccessories&hash=item3f0e0cd458#ht_2318wt_1396
I had a near identical one for my Captivate. It charged batteries well, but the USB output really messed with the screen sensitivity. Made it freak out and do things when I didn't even touch the screen. Anyone have a good cradle?
Also are i9100 cradles compatible with our i777 NFC batteries?

The batteries themselves are physically interchangeable, and since the cradle cannot bootloop I'd say yes. I have an extended non-oem battery, which I'm about to buy a i9100 cradle for, and you guys will be the first to know if any problems arise.
There is also the 'official' cradle from Samsung for the i777:

I just bought that one (it showed up Friday), and it's working well so far. The fact that it doubles as a stand is nice.
Does anyone know if the charger pack u charge to act as a charger for your phone (when not near electricity)is compatible with the note? I've seen them but i didn't know if they are compatible with the note since it has such a large battery. Also does anyone have a link to one?

I just bought this Anker one from Amazon. Reviews are almost overwhelmingly positive and I can confirm that it does work on the Note just as well as it works on my Atrix 4G.
http://www.amazon.com/Anker-5600mAh...5?s=electronics&ie=UTF8&qid=1330474615&sr=1-5
Does the higher the amount of mah on the battery pack equate to numerous recharges for your phone(depending on the phone's battery mah)?
Sent from my Galaxy Note
Yup. It's just shy of three full charges for my Atrix, which has a ~1900mAh battery. Should be two charges for a Note, give or take a little bit.
That's great! I just saw one on amazon with 11200 mah for $69 i think im going to get it.
Sent from my Galaxy Note
How long is the charge time on yours? I've never had one so i don't the slightest idea of how long it could take to charge one.
Sent from my Galaxy Note
I was going to get that one, but it was just too huge. I can slip the Anker 5600 I bought into a jacket or pants pocket with the cable and it's just fine. No problems with portability. Charge time is equal to what it'd be from an AC charger in my experience so far, but I only got mine a few days ago.
I meant wats the charge time of the battery pack?
Sent from my Galaxy Note
Haha...sorry. It was about half-charged when I got it (2/4 indicator lights) and took two hours to charge to four lights.
I got the mycharge ones since the cables are built in. 3Ah and 6Ah depending on my needs (1 or 2 nights). I like them even though they aren't 10Ah monsters.

Does it hold the charge or do you constantly have to recharge it?
Sent from my Galaxy Note
Most portable USB battery chargers do not support the signals that allow the Note to go to high current charge mode. Pins 2 and 3 of the USB connection need to be shorted with a low resistance. The Note senses this and switches on a high charge otherwise, it will stick to a standard USB charge of less than 500ma even if the battery charger can put out 1A.
I bought a Scosche 5000 mah portable battery charger that comes with a special USB adapter designed for the Galaxy Tab. I tested it with my Note. With the adapter, the Note charges in under four hours. Without the adapter, it takes overnight to charge the Note even though the Scosche has a USB port that puts out 2.1A to charge an Ipad.
Staples sells the Scosche battery for $80 but there is a $29 online coupon that is good until 3/5/2012.
Hmm... I have a rechargeable battery from Monoprice that I use with my iPhone 4 but I haven't tried it with my Note yet. It will probably only charge the battery about half way. Monoprice has good cheap rechargeable batteries to charge on the go if anyone is looking for something similar.
After a few more days with the Anker, it charges my Atrix and my Vivid at least as fast as my AC charger. Probably placebo effect, but it honestly feels like it charges it faster.
Why not just carry a couple of extra batteries and get a charging station for them? Seems cumbersome to have to have one of these attached to your device when you need more juice, when swapping out a battery is quick and has an instant full charge...?

If you're gonna carry something anyway you might as well just have a single, spare battery instead of a power pack plus a cable. The Note has such an easy back to pull off and swap. Bing-bang-boom.

As someone who used to do this exact same thing with the captivate, it's definitely convenient to carry, however the interruption while you take off the case, remove the cover, replace the battery/reboot, can get annoying especiallky if you're right in the middle of doing something.
I'm getting ready to take a long plane flight, and I bought some battery packs from monoprice just now, with the intention of using one of them up front while I use the phone, so we'll see how that goes.

Note sure if it's just me, but the minute or so that my phone is down to swap the battery and reboot seems much more appealing and convenient than having a battery pack dangling by a cord from my phone for multiple hours while it charges, or keeps it charged.
Not to mention how many spare batteries you could buy for the price of one external battery pack.

I actually agree partially, however I just found out that monoprice.com sells 2800mah battery packs for like $13 each. I just bought three:
http://www.monoprice.com/products/p...=10833&cs_id=1083311&p_id=7664&seq=1&format=2
That said, I likely will still buy an extra regular battery that I can just carry in my pocket. The main reason I'm going with the external batteries is because I'm getting ready to go on a trip with 15 month old twins to europe, and I can use these external packs to power up both my phone, and my touchpad (Which I need for playing childrens shows)

its 35 usd from were I am sitting ..
and it aint about the looks.. that white external charger can double has a battery case and charger.. that is cool to me, could be for somebody else.
and the most important .. those almost universal battery chargers ain't worth a crap , and work like for 2 months and then give their soul to their chinese maker .. I had a few..
And I swear I don't trust those circuits to charge my batt .. that white external charger uses the stock charger or any external powerbank for charge on the go.
I Just think it's worth it , for it gives much more options
Love this one(RavPower 14000mAh)
I have an iPhone 4, sumsung S3 and iPad 2 which is clear that I need a battery charger that saves me. Looking around the market there're massive brands. At the first sight I have looked around Mophie, Mipow, but they seem to be at the luxury price line. Once my best buv Jack showed me his RavPower 14000mAh that he gets from Amazon, it was a cool one that you can charge 2 devices at the same time. Amazed by the price(around 40 bucks), I give it a try. Now I carry it with me everyday, you guys should really try it out.
