Well you dont need to use it everyday. You can just use it to charge if you're not near an outlet.

yea im going to the lake on thurday and could use it but i dont think it will make it here in time lol

oh tempting =o
[edit] gah darn you hehe =p
ended up getting me to buy it XD
I figure, hmm... if there's ever a time we're(family/friends) not by an outlet for a couple of a days $20 battery would come in handy
which is unusual for this date and time so I wasn't sure. such a borderline impulse buy

---

This is nice for emergencies. Good buy for $20. Although I don't need it for day-to-day use. By the time I go to ebd and plug my phone in I'm still at 25-35% most of the time.

---

My thought is, sure you don't need it daily. Maybe for emergencies... but you have to carry it with you everywhere for emergencies, then you need to wait for your phone to charge. I would rather carry a spare battery that is already fully charged.
You can use that to charge other things also, but then again, you have to wait for it to charge. Pretty much everywhere you travel will have an outlet.
But $20... whatever, no use thinking about it too long. My .02 would be carry a already charged spare battery for emergencies.

are you implying that the Rezound will take more power than the usb can distribute?

That looks like a bulky battery to me.

I had bought that it didn't work my rezound standard and extended battery.

I don't see the advantage for this versus the extra battery

I like my bulky battery.

Kmashi 9600 mAh external battery
i got this battery and have been using it for more than a month now
http://www.ebay.com/itm/for-HTC-Ama...US_Rechargeable_Batteries&hash=item4ab8058874
if that link dies you can search ebay for "kmashi 9600"
ive seen prices for the same model vary from $25 to $45 on ebay
its a 9600 mah battery. they also make a 11,200 mah version. kmashi seems to be a chinese company that makes batteries.
its not heavy, its just a little bit bigger than the rezound, and it comes with 10 adapters to charge other devices.
somehow, within 2 weeks, i was able to bend a pin in the micro usb adapter, rendering it useless. so i just charge my phone using the micro usb cable that the rezound came with
im on airplanes a lot and walk around a whole lot (walking around new york, biking, for hours at a time) and i love the battery. if i have my phone plugged into it, and the phone is at 14% or less and im playing GTA III, the phone will yell at me and say that the current from the power source is not enough to charge at the rate its being consumed. other than that, its been great

i dont mean to be rude but how is carrying around two regular devices better than carrying one slightly larger item...it seems kinda redundant to carry a battery to charge another battery, should we also carry a third battery to charge the second battery
