I got a cradle from these guys. It was a $29.00 and it has an extra slot for a second battery to charge. I convinced the Sprint Repair Center that the battery life really sucked and they gave me an extra battery, so I was looking for a charger that could do 2 batteries.
The charger did not come with any documentation. It is one of two dual chargers on the Website http://www.talkietech.com/ and it is the one where the battery sits flat, behind the handset. It is not the one made by HTC (ORA) where the batter is upright. That one is $79 but i bet it will work better and it has 3 led's one for each battery and one for power!
The device has two led's on it and they simply do not change color, no matter what you do. One stays blue and the other green. The sales guy at TalkeiTech was very helpful but said that there was a replacement version coming in November.
Apparently the problem is from having one or both the USB and power cords plugged in (rapid charge option) at the same time. He stated you need to have both plugged in simultaneously.
I was using it as a simple charger that was near the door to the garage so I could charge both batteries as soon as I got home.
I use the Boxwave charger at my desk but it only has space for one battery but only needs USB (slow charge option).
I have now swapped the chargers so the dual one is attached to my PC and an electrical outlet, the left led seems to be for the 2nd battery and it changed red when I plugged in a low battery otherwise nothing else happened.
We are now negotiating for a new charger . . . .

Defective Mogul Cradle
I just obtained a new car cradle from Buy GPS Now
http://www.buyGPSnow.com
The thing is an absolute piece of junk. This is the second one they sent me. They claimed the first one needed a longer USB connector and that this new one was equipped with it.
Well that is not the case. The new one has some rubber strips on the sides to hold the phone in place because the device is really made for the thicker TyTn’s such at the AT&T 8125, 8525 and the new TyTn II (Tilt).
It is obvious that there is no one doing any quality control. On the first one I though it may be the length of the USB as they claim so I took it apart and plugged the full connector into the Mogul and powered it up, and the same conditions existed: the device would charge for a second and then stop charging and then the phone would lock up. This is a firmware issue not a connector issue.
Anyway they are slow to respond since they do not have a telephone number and you wait forever for a live chat person who seems to be NOT Empowered to do anything . . .
I got 2 from here and they work real nice, very high quality batteries, lasts longer than my original one from sprint... I tried those $10 or less batteries before and their capacity fluctuate wildly, but not these:

I have not ordered anyhing here yet.
Bought the 3200 mAh battery from Seidio
Bought it about 3-4 days ago. Showed up without any fanfare. Also got the slim rubberized case (hint, the super extended battery and the slim rubberized case DO NOT go together).
So far, I have been charging like normal, I usually keep it plugged in at work and have noticed that about 30 minutes after taking it off the cable, the power drops to about 90%. this could be the battery "conditioning" as the Seidio site says. Don't know yet.
Oh, I had to write to Seidio to point out that the main page graphic says "3600 mAh" and the battery that ships is 3200 mAh. Apparently the only ones who make a 3600 mAh battery are Mugen (google it, Mugen 3600 mAh Mogul battery).
I also ordered the stylus/pen combo. This is worth the money. I'm constantly looking for a pen, but ALWAYS have my phone. The pen expands out to be very comfortable to hold, not some tiny thing that you're left feeling like a giant with a midget pen.
The battery... well, time will tell if the expense was worth the cost.
Can more people who have either the Seidio 3200 or the Mugen 3600 batteries post something on performance or experience so I can get an idea. I am still debating. Seidio 3200 or Mugen 3600. I have a Verizon XV6800. I'm a power user and i will gladly sacrifice the size of my device for more battery life. I'm also debating on whether I should get 1 or 2 of these. Having the stock battery is like being on a leash...well for me at least. I did a bunch of searches on forums but there is not too much info especially on the Mugen 3600mah. Thanks guys.
Mugen or Seidio, you'll have to judge for yourself
I have the Seidio. I'm not about to go out and buy a Mugen as well as the Seidio battery. These things are quite large to lug around in my pocket. I may be a power user as well. The only question is, are you not near a power source for a long enough time to warrant getting one of these?

Thanks for the speedy response. My problem is i play in alot off basket leagues and tournaments and for work am out at a customer siteanywhere from 8 to 18 hours...nothing looks more ghetto than being with a customer and asking if they have a place you can charge your ur cell...lol. I need the secure feeling that i dont have to charge my phone 8 times a day. I actually think i am going to get 2 of the Seidio 3200s because i like the rubber case that they may be coming out with.
Anyone have any idea where I can order the genuine battery for the HD2? My stock battery is dying and it would be awesome if I can get a brand new one that performs well. So far, I ordered two of those Chinese imitation batteries from two different sellers and they have the same serial number haha. They don't hold nearly as much charge as they should. Any suggestions?

Hate to quote myself but this link is valid. I ordered one the other day and it arrived today. It does have the HTC branding and is the exact same battery (P/N also) as my HD2 battery.
A reviewer on the site said they got one without the branding. I read that after I had ordered. Doh! But I got a genuine battery.

is the mould 100% same on this battery & the wrapping cut & folded the same.
Also look at print for matching size & quality.
Most batteries at that price will not be original but if lucky it will be quite good battery in a HTC copy wrapper.
Another way to tell is get other buyers to forward the serial of battery, copies only have a few differing serials at best & normally just one.

Haha... now I'm worried about copy wrappers.
Original battery on the left and new one from Amazon link on the right. (I'm pretty sure... could have gotten them backwards). I'll go dig around for their serial numbers online and see what I find.
Hard to tell from that image. compare moulding on edges & how wrapper is folded around. Also look at water label & contacts. Original battery contacts are quality copper & look a bit satin if look at an angle but look shiny when view straight, copy batteries normally have a cheaper coated contact which is shiny at all viewing angles.
If it performs ok & charges without getting over hot don't worry about it too much.

They look exactly identical in every single aspect. So much so that I wouldn't know which was the originial if I hadn't taken a pic. No heat issues and I've been abusing the Netflix app testing both batteries.

You got a battery with the correct markings; at that price point, it is almost certainly a Chinese relacement. Be sure and report back after three charge cycles with the measured capacity.

I'm a little leary; the photo says 1500, but the description says 1300...
Original batteries are heavier than these cheap rip-offs. They use the copy wrapper to mask their lesser capacity.
Some copy HTC batteries will be same weight or even heavier.
I have a fake HTC battery that I picked up for my Touch Pro, slightly heavier & performs as good as original but probably not for as long as original cell.
problem with copies is quality goes from trash to almost on par with original but with not much way of telling what you are going to get.
I went for a compact USB power pack as got bored of looking at fake HTC batteries & official HTC retail outlet prices can be ridiculous, plus swapping, booting & charging 2 cells is a pain at times.
I need a new battery.
I need peoples opinions on which deal I should take
On HTC Express, I can get 2 batteries at 1900 mAh for $24. Or for $29 I can get 2 batteries at 1800 mAh with a wall battery charger. My charger wire that I have now is falling apart though, and isn't working right. What should I get?
Go with the two 1900 mAh, it's a better deal.
I got two 1900's with a wall charger for $30 a while back on amazon. Never used the wall charger, never touched the second battery. Good for backup I suppose, but unnecessary.
Get the ones with the batter charger...can never hurt to have a spare charger around
I bought the 1800 from htcexpress months ago, love it, $20. No need for a new batt door was the deal closer for me. I had the 2150, but man was it ugly!
Received my order from HTCExpress the other day. $29 for 2 1900 & charger (don't know if the special still exists - I haven't checked since). Like someone else stated, the fact you can retain your cover sealed the deal! Also doesn't hurt to keep an extra battery on hand either.

I read that someone was having troubles fitting the standard door over one of those 1900's. They said that the door wouldn't completely snap in all the way around. What's your experience with the fit?

That's exactly what I'm going to get for my DINC. Excited for the battery life without compromising size
Now are the 1900's true factory OEM's or not? Go to Batteryboss.org, I know there isn't much for the incredible there, but look at the actual mAH of the OEM batterys(almost spot on), to the actual mAH that you get out of the after market ones. Some of the ones that are even 500-600 more get less then OEM versions...

sorry for the late reply. I haven't a problem with the 1900. You have to make sure the battery is seated firmly/flush and the cover snaps on all sides. At first I thought the cover wouldn't snap, then I noticed my battery wasn't completely flush, so after I reseated, cover snapped shut on all sides. snug but shut.
Just bought two of these.

Awesome, I am thinking about getting these. How is your battery life compared to the original?
for backup, i got two 1900's with a wall charger for $30.
but the original one is better for me.
These probably have the same juice as a OEM evo 1500 battery at the most, because their not authentic HTC...
I am also looking for a new battery. I know that the sideo 1750mah batteries uses to be popular, does anyone know how these compare to those?
Ok, so I found a better deal on the HTC Express website. For $29.99 I can get 2 1900 Mah batteries and a charger! Thanks for the opinions everybody! Is there anything I have to do before using the batteries or something?

I have two of these. It helps to charge them fully using external charger then put in your phone fully charged and clear battery stats. It takes one or two cycles to notice a difference. I usually charge one with the external charger and switch in the morning. I get great battery life with the 1900 ( I think its really 1800) and cm7 with tiamat kernel

Can someone recommend a good replacement battery to be used as a spare, and then a desktop charger for the extra battery?
There are many varieties and sources, which one(s) have worked for you -- and would you buy them again?

Edit: I've had Anker batteries for my GS2 when I had it. Had no problems whatsoever.
why not just get an external battery instead of a battery and battery charger? Anker makes a 10kmah one that is fairly cheap.
Why not the official Samsung one on the Samsung website?
Its priced at $50, comes with the same battery that comes with the phone and folds closed for travel. Also works as a stand for the phone.
If you search you can get a 50% off coupon and get it for only $24.99....seems like a great deal to me.
I plan on getting one myself for my upcoming 2 week trip.....
Sent From My Ginormous Note 2
I like to live lavishly so I own the official Samsung charger that includes the extra battery, the official samsung 9000mah external battery, and the 10,000mah anker external battery someone mentioned above. I can recommend all of them.
One thing to note though. The 9000mah samsung external charger just has one USB port for charging. It also doesn't include its own charger to recharge it. The 10,000mah anker external battery has its own charger included, 2 USB charging ports, and a 3rd output to charge laptops (includes multiple adapters).
I've got for present gold battery that was purchased on alibaba, which has a rated output of 4200m, which is absolutely not true. At first I was skeptical and I have to admit that battery performed well. Who use it and carry it back in my purse in case I am not able to recharge the phone with the original battery. I understand the alibaba the battery is pretty cheap, and in my humble opinion, if the battery is used as a backup should not throw the extra money that would be well for us for a few hours ...
I loved having spare batteries for my Galaxy S3 and I had an Anker (same size and capacity of original Samsung one) which would last longer than the stock Samsung battery so I figured that's what I'd buy now that I have a Note 2. I bought the 2-pack with external charger from Amazon (click here for link) and I'm somewhat disappointed. Both of the Anker batteries stick out about 1-2mm at the bottom (above the speaker) which prevents the back cover from snapping shut completely. This isn't that big of a deal since I use a TPU case, but it's disappointing. I haven't been through enough cycles to test whether the battery life is the same, but considering my phone lasts over 2 days on a charge with the stock battery it'll take a while.
I did, however, order a single QCell battery with external charger from Amazon (click here for link) and UPS literally dropped it off 10 minutes ago. I immediately tried putting it in the phone and it sits flush, so I already like it more than the Anker. It only has 56% charge so I'll have to measure the battery life after a couple more cycles.
I'd recommend buying a single battery with external charger and making sure you like it before ordering a second spare if you want. I'm highly considering returning the Ankers and buying another QCell after I finish all my testing.

My batteries don't stick out. My back cover snaps completely shut and I'm able to put my diztronic case on it, too. I bought it a little over a week ago. I had them just in case at the Chicago Auto Show.
I prefer spare batteries than external battery packs and what not. It was very useful at Universal Studios. I was able to just pop the dead battery out and put a fresh one in as opposed to plugging a battery pack in.

I agree about batteries vs. External charger. I like being able to pop in a new battery and being at 100%. I don't want to wait to have it charge when I want to use it.
I just got my Anker batteries last night I will be doing my "scientific" experiments with them tonight to compare the two.

Its priced at $50, comes with the same battery that comes with the phone and folds closed for travel. Also works as a stand for the phone.
If you search you can get a 50% off coupon and get it for only $24.99....seems like a great deal to me.
I plan on getting one myself for my upcoming 2 week trip.....
Sent From My Ginormous Note 2

Yeah I think this is what I'm going to do.
Thanks all for the input, having the native samsung battery seems to make the most sense.
So, I've been wanting to get a second (and third) battery for my Note II when it arrives. Which of the two are better, though? A lot of people seem to support Anker but it looks like Hyperion are good as well, and seemingly cheaper.
Any advice would be very much appreciated, and thanks

These are the batteries I'm talking about.

I keep a set of the Anker's that you listed there, in my emergency bag. I based the purchase off their reputation and Vectron's review.
Both are reliable brands, cost the same (Anker w/free shipping, Hyperion with $5 shipping) and I have a feeling they get their batteries from the same source (neither of them manufacturer their own stuff). But I can say with certainty you will get a much better support from Anker and also 18 months extended warranty. Also, I'm not quite sure why Hyperion says "now with NFC" when these are standard slim batteries to use with Note 2 original battery cover that has NFC antenna built-in (no need for anything built into a battery).

Thanks as well! Yeah, it's the S3 that has the NFC chip built into the battery, isn't it?
I'd like to ask also - how is the Anker wall charger? Like, how long does it take to charge from the wall?

Their wall charger is 600mA which is probably the highest you can get in that type of charger. At least I haven't seen any wall battery chargers or universal wall battery chargers at 1A or higher.

Gah. So it sounds like you pretty much have to charge it overnight, then? Or save time and charge it in the phone?
Also I'd like to ask one other question of you - do the Seidio Vitreo screen protector and Otterbox Commuter go well together? Any problems with fitting, etc?
