I asked the folks at Mugen if they have one that will fit their extended 5400 mAh battery. I want to be able to recharge my spare battery while I'm out with my phone. They don't have one, but the rep pointed me to this one:

Does anyone have this charger? Is there a distributor or vendor in North America I could buy from? It is $13 from TVC Mall, but adding on shipping and PayPal fees brings it to about $26. :silly:
Hrm, I wonder if the extended battery will fit in the rear charging bay of this Hyperion cradle. As long as their isn't a lip or other protrusion that might get in the way of a thicker battery, this might work:

The Hyperion cradle will charge the extended batteries. Have one sitting at home that I use all the time.

Sweet, ordering one via Amazon.ca now!

Thanks for also letting me know that this cradle will work! I use it currently at my desk and I like it a lot. Now I'm going to like it even more
ADDITION:
While I was charging my phone today at the desk, I just wanted to charge my other battery. So as I was charging the spare battery I noticed that the right side plug-in charges BOTH the main phone and spare battery.

It's on T-Mo's site for $25. Of course you'd have to take the USB cover off.

the usb connector would be fine, question is whether it would physically fit in.Not really sure because the dock seems to fit around the bottom curve of the magic, but the bottom of the G1 is flat. I'd say probably not.
If you're looking for a dock, there's a number of them on ebay specifically for the G1. I got one with a slot for an extra battery and it works just fine.

i got mine off amazon when i was on super sale, the one i have has a slot for an extra battery and it works great, only downfall is it has a bright ass charging led that i covered up with a small peice of electrical tape, works really well, but a g1 with a extended battery will not fit in it (atleast not the battery door that i had), and it cant charge the extended battery either (as in i cant take it out and put it in the slot)
To be clear, you have to pull off the USB door, correct?
Its better not to use a dock. It puts unnecessary stress on the plug and doesn't offer any benefits. You would be better off just plugging the wire into it.

i agree. docks are just eye candy. and plus its a lot easier to use the phone without being it plugged up to a dock
Hi All,
I have a Touch HD and I am looking at replacing my battery, as I have one of the first released and the battery has come to the end of its useful life.
I have noticed that the genuine HTC 1350mV part no: 35H00120-01M has 2 metal contacts on the top right and left corners of the flat side of the battery.

All the non-genuine batteries do not have these 2 metal 'contacts' on the flat side of the battery.
When I put a multimeter across them, it shows that they are connected to each other, but not connected to the actual battery terminals. By that I mean, there is no voltage drop when I connect one of these terminals to any one of the main power terminals of the battery.
I have looked at the HTC_Blackstone_Service_Manual and it shows that these contacts connect to a metal plate. This plate could be a shield or a heat sink for the battery.
Can anyone advise me just what are these 2 contacts used for?
Are they necessary?
Will my reception suffer, if I use a non genuine battery such as one of the extended batteries?
If all 3rd party batteries don't come with these, can I assume they are not needed?
If they are not needed, then why did HTC see fit to have them in place?
Thank you in advance.
David
I guess this is for grounding purposes.
i am currently using a after market replacement battery, there is no such 2 metal 'contacts' on the battery. The replacement battery works very well with my phone. It is even works better than genuined one
I was looking at replacement batteries on eBay, and I found this one. Would it be worth buying?

Always go for original batttery. Buy a couple, with a wall charger if needed. Forget these fake promise batteries!
I totally agree. They don't last any longer - instead you risk destroying your phone!

Ah, okay. Thanks for letting me know! I'll be sure to not buy one.
Battery
I own one of these, after a "inspection" discovered that it contains 2 1200mah cells connected in a serial circuit. The battery lasts a bit more than original but doesnt worth the bulkyness.
sorry for my bad english.

I recently bought AKKU Polarcell battery and it work just fine,lasting a little bit longer than original.2100mah
Unless you want your pocket/house on fire, PLEASE go for original battery/chargers
its a good battery is 3500 mAh while the original in only 1800 mAh, but its more thicker so they sell a new back cover to fit it ... those batteries stay longer

Okay I have to admit that isn't worth the money.
Which one did you get though???
Sent from my D6503 using XDA Free mobile app
something like the first one.
but i really wonder WHY it does that!
I mean... i used the original Sony Wallcharger! 1.5A and just pluged it (with the sony cable) in the back of the charger!
Then the phone wen't out of battery and died... restartet after 5 minutes, and then i booted into the OS.
Thats the only reason i can imagine why it would charge so slowy. i mean.. i used exact that same wall charger via microUSB and it worked fast and fine!
i mean, how the hell would they limit the Ampere flowing trough the dock ? some included resistors?
If i have to much time i'll try and open it. but i could swear the cheapest way would be a simple (two...) from the microUSB port to the magnets. And this is chinaware! gotta be the cheapest way!
Which is the best extended slim battery that will fit in a normal case and battery door? I seen a few 4700mAh batteries, but other buyers claimed in negative feedback that they were fake or not reporting the correct size, so I was wondering if someone could link me to a trusted and factual extended slim battery that reports the size it claims to be.
Not sure, but I know only one genuine-ish battery seller, which is mugen power. I'd advise you to check the link below. There are both slim extended and extended version (extended version comes with additional back cover due to enlarged size, but slim extended can be used with OEM back cover)
http://www.mugenbattery.com/samsung-galaxy-note-3/
My waiting and holding off paid off, just won this lot on eBay for 60 bucks! It's the Power Pack Note 3 Edition, hell haha now I need to buy one of those external chargers to keep one extra battery juiced up, good thing I found this auction, been needing to get a OEM USB Note 3 Cable too.

Unless someone has patented some new type of battery technology, there's no cramming more mAh into the same size battery.
Plenty of people report anecdotal "well it seems longer!" type stuff, but only one person bothered to scientifically test it with meters and the bother of completely draining and testing different claimed batteries.
Best to just buy an extra Anker or OEM battery not claiming to have 4 billion mAh into the same size battery.
