In case anyone is interested, I just got this external battery charger today. It's made by Momax. The description says it's for the Omnia i908/i900 but those phones use the same battery as the Nexus S. It's dual voltage and comes with Type A (US), Type C (Europe), Type G (UK & South East Asia) and Type I (Australia/NZ) plug adapters so you can use it anywhere in the world.
I have one for my Nexus One also and have been using that one for the past year. I highly recommend it for anyone who would like to charge an extra battery without having to keep your phone plugged in.
I got it from this site:
http://ioomobile.com/shopbybrand/171-universal-charger-for-samsung-i908-omnia-4-plugs-usukeuau.html
Shipping took 5 days and is pretty quick considering it came from Hong Kong.

At 21$, I think you should consider buying a desk dock with a 2nd battery compartment.

I was wondering if those damage your battery, was about to buy
3x 1440mAh Battery + Charger - $ 12.89 but I'm very hesitant!

I am looking to get one for less than $40...If you are upgrading phones and want to sell your battery let me know.
I want to upgrade in the next 6 months or so, but don't want to buy a brand new $40 battery just to end up with a new phone.
eBay it up dude, you'll find plenty of batteries. Just be careful not to buy one that's no good, just look at the amounts sold, seller feedback and look at other threads here and you'll find what you're looking for in no time.

I have a 1750 I'll sell. But you can find a better battery cheaper.
As I mentioned in the other thread, buy the Touch Pro 2 battery from user bidallies on eBay. Fourteen bucks for OEM battery and very worth it

has the exploding fake battery gone out of style? I remember a few years ago there were a series of incidents were batteries exploded. I suppose nothing is guaranteed, but are these batteries at least third party from a respectable place?
i'll probably go for the Sedio one http://www.seidioonline.com/product-p/basi17ssn2.htm
1750 mAh without changing battery door
I use the cheap Chinese versions from Ebay with chargers. They work just as well if not identical to the original. Since I charge them in the wall, they can explode if they like.
Seriously though, I have also used the same ebay source for my wife's EVO 4G as well without issue. If fact she prefers them over the HTC red OEM's for some reason.
so many sellers
which is the preferred one?
Just throwing this out there, but authentic new Samsung batteries go for between $9 and $15 on Amazon. That's pretty cheap for peace of mind.
are they genuine oem?
care to link to one?
do exploding batteries only explode when being charged?
thanks!

I don't notice a difference in life span, and for that price for a Samsung battery, can you argue with it?

Even though I'm no longer a DInc1 user ( ), I still wanted to let you all know about this deal. Amazon is now selling the Seidio Innocell 3500 mAh Extended-Life Battery for only $10.91. I purchased one a few weeks ago for something like $50 before I returned it because of my new replacement phone. If you haven't picked one of these up yet I highly recommend them!

Edit: just ordered the 3500. Couldn't pass it up so I'll just put my 2150 in my wife's dinc.
Sent from my ADR6300 using XDA App
Wow that's a huge discount! The battery makes the phone chunky, like twice the stock thickness (maybe more?), but it is almost 3x the stock 1300mAh..
Does it come with a new back for the added size, what a deal.

I've been running mine for over a year. Still works like the day I got it. It does come with a new battery cover that's just as much a pain to get off.... in other words, it fits just and nicely as the factory cover. Damn the punk to hell who told them the price was wrong!!!! Still, at $50 it's a better deal than the cheap chinese OEM extended battery.
Has anyone bought this package? I was looking for extra batteries on Ebay and ran across this one. The seller has a good rep. I still wanted to ask here tho if anyone bought this, or what your thoughts would be considering this is three batteries and a charger, for very cheap.

Sellers tend to have good rating for the quality of their service, not necessarily for the quality of their products.
$13 isn't bad though.. you should have maybe at least 6500mah combined from those three batteries.

I have a suspicion some of the sellers on Amazon get their shady rating count as well. It takes a second to create merchant account on Amazon and list anything already sold in there under the original manufacturer listing. Since I talk to a lot of accessories companies, a number of them complain about people selling fake ones under the same listing (very common with Spigen, UAG, Samsung batteries/headphones/chargers, and others). So you have to be very careful who is the actual seller of the product when you click to buy it. I notice some sell fake stuff, it's clearly listed as seller from China, and they got 100k feedback rating?!?
Personally, I try to look for those who sell with Prime option since it's covered by Amazon and often an OEM part they have in their warehouse.

Ebay can be pretty good if you know how to check feedback. Almost everything I buy is from there (laptop, phone, fresh fruits).
Yes let us know how good they are. I have a $6 glass screen protector coming in a few weeks that I'll post pictures too of so people can compare to the $30 brand name ones. I love comparing generic chinese sold products to the brand name ones. In many cases they are very similar expect one has a fancy badge and price tag
I also got a micro USB to HDMI adapter last night for my Note 2, and one of those 3 in 1 lens kits for it. The lens kit was only $7 with free shipping. I watched several Youtube vids regarding it, and for that price you can recod some pretty amazing footage.
I'll also update you all on those as I get them. =-}

With wall charger you get ~1600mA which charges device in about 2.5hrs . The output of the one u bought is 1/4th (400 max) of the external charger so it would take 4x times longer than it would have taken with the wall charger(10 hours ) .
i dont know much about electrical stuff . I hope am wrong cuz i have already bought a spare battery and thinking of buying the samsung external charger but 50$ is way too much. Im getting it at 39.9$ but stilll too much
Do keep us updated.

I just got the shipping notice that my free Samsung wireless charger was delivered today. Cannot wait to try it out as I have seen a ton of good stuff written about it. Will let you all know what I think.
Got my Samsung Wireless charger set up yesterday and it works amazing. I love being able to switch from a flat to a cradle setup and have not had a single issue with the charger finding the phone, even with the Spiegen Neo Hybrid case (which I love btw) on the phone. This is my first foray into wireless charging and I am already wondering why I waited so long.
