Are these good, I have seen people mess around with the APC and Keomo charger, what about Engerizer?

I tried one. It will work to charge the phone if it's turned off. It doesn't keep up when the phone is in use. In my case, using the GPS.
I'm still looking for an external battery like this that will extend the run time while I'm out hiking.
I didnt know you had to turn it off for this one.
I guess I should go with 2nd battery and cradle. Whats worth it 1350mah OEM vs 1600mah aftermarket? hmm.
Actually I have one that my wife bought me for Christmas, I use it on my HTC Tytn aka Hermes. I love it. I can plop in a set of freshly charged Energizer Nimh 2500mah batteries into it plug it into the phone and it it charges while I use it, no problems at all. It can take my extended life 3000mAh Hermes battery and take it from 20% up to about 80% charge in about an hour. Works great for me, as I have a car charger to go along with the Energizer AA batteries which charges 4 of them to full capacity in about 15mins. (granted they are scorching hot when they come out of the charger)
I will be posting a more in depth review of the Energi To Go charger in the Hermes section later tonight.
As for me I am a really happy customer.
nothing can beat this product. the advantage it has over all others is that you can recharge the unit with a wall outlet. no cords needed. i use it for my phone and my archos player. no one really talks about it so i guess i got lucky finding it.

I use the energizer to go. Not on a regular basis, but I keep it with me at all times. I use the 2500 rechargeables charged and when you need that extra power, you got it. I also have the seidio 1600 battery, but guess where that is? Always at home in a drawer. Energizer is really I think the best way to go. But since I flashed Duttys 6.1, I don't use it that much. The battery life in that rom is INCREDIBLE!! I run Blackberry connect 24/7, leave the house at 4am, back home on the charger about 9-10pm, still have over 50%, with moderate use during the day. So between Energizer 2 go, and Dutty, I'm gone

Thanks mate!
Circuit City had these units on sale for $4.17 until yesterday.
Looks like their supply is now exhausted.
I used Motorola P790. It is rechargeable and can have 30% recovery each 1and half hour.

Ok so I got this for Christmas from my wife. However I never really played with it. Here is a pic. (borrowed from the net however this is the exact same as mine)

Well I had forgotten to charge my phone for a couple days. So even with my 3000mAh HiCap battery it was down to 10% and warning me. I had to run out the door and was not going to be able to charge it anytime soon. So I grabbed it and plugged in the "Energi To Go" booster pack. The Energi To Go pack started blinking 2 blue lights to signal it was charging and my phone changed from "low batt" to external power mode. I tossed it in my coat pocket all plugged in and over the course of an hour it took my phone from 10% all the way up to 80%. It was freaking cool.
Well that was about 2 weeks ago. Since then I have found that I could ditch the expensive Lithium batteries that it comes with and use Energizer 2500mAh rechargeable NiMh's. With the quick charger it can Zap charge 4 AA's from dead to full charge in 15mins. Granted when they come out of the charger they are so scorching hot you can barley handle them. So now I can charge my phone at night, toss the 4 charged AA's in my uhm, (what is the new name for a fanny pack that you carry in your hand) Man Bag / Murse, LOL. If I had to I could probably go close to a week without any outside power. Or at the very least a 12hr stretch of playing Bubble Breaker with super bright turned on.
Its nice to know that I can toss the Energi To Go adapter in my car and always have access to power no matter what, even if I forget my car charger or walking around a mall for hours on end with the wife.
Even if my batteries do die. I can pop into any corner market buy 2 more AA's and be on my way.
So if you find yourself running out of juice on the go. This seems to be a great invention. It uses standard USB so I might even see if it will charge my other USB powered things like my GPS module and other stuff. Hmm wonder if it would charge my blue tooth headset. Might get a bit uncomfortable wearing 2 AA's on my ear. But hey its worth a try riiiight. So for the 30 bucks. I say pick one up. I really love mine.
Thanks for the review. I saw one of these in a store recently and almost picked it up...I think I will next time.

yep... i rather it was thicker then discharged... I spend lots of time on it, and I'm not fancy dancing with the charger all day long...
First report:
I charged it fully, and used it a bit but I must say that i was drained pretty quickly, but it can be related to my extensive bluetooth use that I began with since I got my Bluetooth gamepad at the same time, and the first two or three charges are never good, they reach their full capacity after some charges. I will report back when I have tried it again, a good sidenote is that it is really lightweight and easy to carry around
THX for report
I am waiting forward to it, mean while i'll buy 2.5 battery [low cost, worth to try...]
waiting for any news from U Mr. Sir
I just brought a spare normal battery from dealextreme and keep it with me for emergency, seems to preform the same as the original, plus side is you get double performance.

I was thinking about such option but it's quite annoying to charge everyday two batteries... at least you have extra charger - for me its gonna be extra cost...
but thx for info
I was able to find a JWIN portable charger that uses 4AA or 4AAA rechargeable batteries and charges the Nexus at AC voltage. It also recharges the batteries three ways; USB, DC and AC. The best part was the price $15.99 locally, was wondering if anyone found something similar locally if so lets share pix.

lol, I take back my statement, it's a great portable charger. Plus it's at an reasonable price also. Thanks for sharing that with us. I'm going search some locally also
It takes ANY rechargable batteries its a charger as well as a recharger. Sorry if the 1st post wasnt clear. Currently i have 4 2650 mAh AA batteries in it i have charged my PsP off it and now its charging my Nexus

if it took recharge battery such as lithium batteries, it be a great portable charger, but regular battery it's too much hassle.

That's pretty cool, but how much does it really charge?
On 4 full batteries, how much % does your phone charge?

I just charged a PSP and my Nexus to 100% off my 4 2650mAh AA's, but that is because of the batteries I used. The mAh of the AA's or AAA's is what really matters. Using 4 1500mAh AA's earlier today I got one full recharge with some juice to spare, with my 2650 mAh im still currently testing with just my Nexus.... should be 2 full charges. I will confirm the #of charges in the next 48hours, or less if I can drain my batteries faster lol
I woke up 20mins ago and I uplugged my evo from the wall...said 99% battery right now it said 83% and there were no apps running or anything,no phone calls no texts, nothing, it just sat on my desk.
anything I can do to optimize battery? I am considering buying one of these http://cgi.ebay.com/2x-3500mAh-exte...Accessories&hash=item3cb822c62d#ht_4799wt_752
can I check if my 1500mah battery is good? thinking of going to sprint to have it checked out.
I searched and found a guide about plugging and unplugging the phone a few times but it did not help me.
That plugging/unplugging thing really works the best for and SBC kernel.
What setup are you running now (ROM/Kernel)?
There is a way that HTC released, it's in my signature.
Running synergy RC2 with latest radio package in the dev section.
try the radio setup I have in my sig.
Buy another battery. lol. But in the package with the external charging unit. so you can let your batteries run close to dead once in a while then just swap the battery. It'll keep those batteries in good shape. :-D Don't blame it on radios. But could be just that your signal/tower where you're at sucked for a few minutes. maybe they were working on a tower? who knows. Good signal=good battery
I bought this battery and can get 4 days off a single charge with normal usage, and 2 days with heavy usage: http://www.amazon.com/Platinum-Exte..._1_2?s=wireless&ie=UTF8&qid=1311442664&sr=1-2

I am going to try the uplugging charger trick again...the ac compressor on my car went bad and I'm trying to save a few bucks to get it fixed
I'm thinking of going the ebay route and getting a cheap 3500 mah battery.
damn I cant buy the 3500 >_< phone wont fit in my otterbox case, the max mah of a stock fit battery is 1800 right? Guess I'll have to settle for that
I wanted one of those, but sadly. like no one is smart enough to give us a real case to go around it. there aren't any supplies for it on cases. Plus it looses the point of the phone being at least a little light. makes it too thick.
Yeah, I tried to look for some but didn't find anything, my brother bought this phone for me on the local classifieds and the dude who sold it to him had 2 batteries for it with a wall charger...I don't use the second battery because its a pain in the ass to switch when you have an otterbox case. thats why I may get the 1800 battery, I've read around that its the same size as stock.

I don't want to start a war or anything but...hows battery life on the iphone 3gs? I know a ton of people in school that use the thing alot for surfing and texting and they keep going at it after school, dont see them carrying chargers or anything o,o
After reading all about battery (and experience it myself), Quick Charge 2.0 still deteriorates your battery because of the resultant heat. Lithium battery will deteriorate because of heat primarily. The faster you charge, the warmer it gets. it's simple. So no wonder Qualcomm have said that the QC 3.0 is 38% more efficient, because with it, they can monitor the voltage change more gradually. Qnovo on X Performance should be more or less the same (if not better) to QC 3.0.
So my words on this matter are: Be grateful to charge with old standard charger you've been supplied by Sony. It should keep your phone battery last longer and definitely will retain the re-selling price better. Yes it might take your time, but your life is not only inside your phone

It averages around 2 and a half hour from zero for full charge with standard charger. With an adaptive charger of Samsung Note4 though, it charges my z5p for exactly 2 hours. It might be faster with true QC 2.0 ones but if i charge it while I'm working/sleeping, the hour/half won't be noticeable.
I got the uch10 with my x performance and with airplane mode in I can get a full charge in about 1 hour 40 min
Sent from my F8131 using Tapatalk
i got the uch10 charger and can go from 1% to 80% in about 15-20 mins, that's what came with the phone when i got it and they were nice enough to include a free adapter for american plugs.
I just wish Sony gave better headphones then the crap I got total garbage
Sent from my F8131 using Tapatalk
Yes the international charger that came with the phone charges is VERY fast. I was impressed and thought it must be fake. But it isnt..
I am buying a QUalcomm Charger 3.0 to see if that charger will do the same as the factory charger. I need a charger for USA that fits my wall outlets. This adapter thing kinda sucks.
But, my Hong Kong Xperia X Performance was given with UCH10, which is a QC 2.0 charger LOL
This thread is BS... Using a QC2.0 charger from Aukey since day one... No issues whatsoever...
Regards.

yeah quick charge don't deteriorated the battery.. this dude is smoking some bad gonja
I just got one and the battery temperature doesn't seem to differ from the regular non-quickcharge adaptor that came with the phone.
Even the one I received yesterday has a QC2.0 charger. Version F8131. Very nice phone!
