Extra Battery and Charger

I bought an extra battery, I charged both up in the phone one by one removing a fully charged one and putting in my wallet (I have the long kind where you don't fold your bills) which has a nice place just right for the battery. When one goes down, I pop the charged one in (and store the depleted one in my wallet). It seems to hold the charge just fine. When I get into a place where I have a charger access, then I just repeat that cycle. Works great for me.

 

where did you get the extra battery and how much did it cost?

 

$40 at verizon

 

The battery chargers are 20 bucks (also ordered from Verizon.) This is the setup I have also and is really the most convenient. The batteries hold the charge just fine, I run one dead and then pop it back in the charger whenever I get home.

 

I suppose you could leave the battery in the charger for "on the go," but I usually just keep mine in my pocket. I figured as long as my pocket isn't full of other stuff it should be just fine. This is the same setup I had on my Storm and didn't have any issues.

FYI, the battery charger does not actually connect to anything on it's own. It comes with a wall charger for the phone, and that is what plugs into the battery charger. The charger has a much longer cord than the USB one that came with the device, so at 20 bucks it's actually a pretty good deal.

I haven't tried to charge a battery via computer and usb cable, but I suppose it would work as long as it can pull enough juice from the computer.
