I just got a portable battery box (2800mAh) for $14 from monoprice. (LINK)
Nicely built, relatively small, and about to test whether it will give me 1.5 full charges as mAh would suggest (2800mAh / 1800mAh on HOX = around 1.5 charges).
Box itself doesn't come with any charger, but is able to be charged by any charger with Micro or Mini USB connector (yep, it has 2 inputs).
Output is a male MicroUSB connector that fits HOX nicely (duh!).
Output: DC5.0V 800mAh

I'd imagine if you want to use the phone while charging from it, you can connect them with a female-male MicroUSB connector.
The charger has a button that shows the charge level of the box with 25% increments (4 lights).
Has another light for "FULL".
As soon as I connected the box to HOX, phone immediately showed that it's being charged, as if from the regular charger. Not sure what the current is, but it may come across as slow charge (USB port charge) as opposed to AC charger.
So far I tested the charge over 10 minute deep sleep period, and I got this:
With the box, in average HOX charged for 2% every 10 minutes.
That would suggest that it would take this box 8.3 hours to charge HOX fully, which isn't bad at all, considering you're free to use it while it's charging.
Over next day or so I'll try to completely discharge the HOX and charge it overnight from the box. I'll see just how much this box can spit out.
---------------------------------
EDIT/REPORT:
I discharged my phone to 5% yesterday, disabled wifi and BT, and connected it to batt pack to charge overnight.
It turns out that this batt back is crap.
Overnight, when phone was in deep sleep with wifi/BT off, a full battle pack charged my HOX only by 55% (I charged the batt pack before using it). Even considering some small drainage during charge, I'd say this pack actually acts if it had just over 1000mAh or so, nothing close to 2800.
Oh well, gonna return it and keep looking.
shouldn't this be in the accessories forum?

Hate the ones that plug right into the phone like that. Pretty much makes the phone a huge pain to use. I would rather spend the extra money and pick something like this up

That's a good option too, although I actually like that monoprice's sticks right into the phone, so you don't have to carry a cable with u.
Also, it seems smaller and cheaper.

I know of certain defense organisations that allow the fixed connectors but not those with detachable cables. Disallowing the cables reduces the risk of the cables being used for data transfer.

huh?
It's a security standpoint from Defence services (IE: Australian Army, etc) who wish to minimise security leaks. A data cable can be used to link up other devices, not just the charger.

Okay, and I guess if I were flying in outer space, my suit was venting air, and the only thing that would save me is connecting a batt pack to a phone - in that situation a cable could freeze solid to a connector on the batt pack, making batt pack unusable, and thus killing me.
WRONG!
That's when Iron Man comes flying to the rescue thus saving your life and getting an autograph that you could sell on eBay for some money and covering your costs of the HTC One X.
OK well, turns out that this batt back is crap.

1600mah = 6.67% larger than 1500mah
so you're going to get 6.67% more use.

there was an article on engadget sometime back, where someone had tested all the aftermarket extended svc batteries.
kind of interesting, the replacement batteries that were only 100 or 300 mah larger than the OEM ones, when tested, either showed less capacity than the stock one, with one showing the stock battery's capacity
the really large batteries, 2400, 2500 etc, showed 10 to 20% lowe capacity than described
just as an FYI
what exactly is the advantage of having this as opposed to having a spare battery??
The spare battery is built in.
Basically its going to charge your phone as you use it and deplete the snap on while its attached. I'm guessing there is a micro USB on the side so you can charge this one while its attached.
I'd personally use it when I'm in the mountains playing in my Jeep and I know I'm going to be in and out of service for many hours on end, which we all know eats batteries like crazy, but I still would be able to use my GPS for tracking.
Just before you say use your cigarette lighter. I don't have one since I'm using that circuit for my on board winch controls.

Put your phone into Airplane mode. It will turn off the radio so your phone isn't constantly looking for a signal.

Why wouldnt you just install a port for that purpose? Or instead you just hardwire the winch controls... I could install a cig Lighter on a dirtbike for gods sake its not that complicated. This battery looks like something you would attach to an iPhone anyways its so hideous... to each his own. I'd rather carry my wall charger in my back pocket than have that ugly thing on my phone... lol just my $.02

Energizer XP18000 Universal AC Adapter MSRP at $180 (Amazon currently has it for ~$160).
At 4.5x7x1.6 inches, it'll complement your Kindle Fire very well by sticking it on the back of it (Kindle Fire is 4.7x7.5x0.45 inches).
It comes with a microUSB adapter, so no need to utilize Energizer's free tips program (of which you still have to pay ~$4 for S&H).
I use this for portable charger for primarily my laptop since I'm a commuting student, and some classrooms don't have plugs available; figured maybe someone wants one specifically for their Kindle Fire.
For that price you might as well just buy another Fire and when one goes dead turn the other one on.

glad i wasn't the only one thinking that lol
but it does work on more then the kindle so perhaps it's worth a little more merit then that... still more then i would pay for a backup battery
If it doesnt make the Device look fat or thick than this would be amazin
New Trent battery
Here is the battery i carry as a backup
http://www.amazon.com/New-Trent-iCr...Z64Q/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1323053218&sr=8-1
I just bought another New Trent battery
(cant post links yet, but its the New Trent IMP70D)
It was on sale last week for $29.99. At 7000mah it should be able to charge the kindle fire more than 1.5 times and at $30 it was a steal and will definitely be useful on my next overseas trip.
So that Trent battery is 11000mAh at $99.95, or $9.09/Ah, and that XP18000 is 18000mAh at $179.99, or $10.00/Ah, retail price.
At discounted (Amazon current price), it's $7.00/Ah and $8.80/Ah respectively.
Trent 11000mAh battery is a better value for all purposes, for small electronics charging. If you want to charge other electronics, like laptops, you have to pay a premium (damn).
Where do you all work and go to school where there are no outlets to plug into?
The fire lasts 8hrs+ for me. If you use it heavy maybe a lil less, but still no need to carry batteries unless you are in a long plane ride or bus ride, etc where you can't plug anything in. Any job/school/house has outlets.

I think I personally made it clear in the first post.
If you want more details, I commute, about 4 hours a day. For that, and in-between classes downtime, I use my Fire, which is *generally* more than enough // not worth charging. My classes, I use my tablet PC, which lasts ~3 hours of battery life, hardly enough for one day of classes.
Depending on the seat I get, I might not have access to the outlet (or some classes straight don't have outlets; crazy they're spending hundreds of millions of dollars upgrading public image, but not classrooms; that's the current private higher education for ya), and I desperately need external battery for my tablet PC (e.g. the Energizer XP18000), since OneNote > Paper.

I have more than one device that I carry with me. With the battery and a microusb cable, I can charge all my devices wherever I am and whenever they get low on power and don't have to carry the a/c adapter and worry about whether the outlet is close enough or whatever.

How long does this run your laptop for? I do IT for a string of verizon stores and, at times, my laptop takes a battery beating and plugs are a PITA to get to. This looks sleak and compact so it should be unobtrusive enough to carry in my bag when out fo town.
I'm looking for an external battery charger since I bought a couple extra batteries for my phone.
anyone have experience with a certain charger? Obviously I don't want something that will damage my battery but nothing that will break the bank either.
Thanks.

Yeah, sorry I probably should have been more specific but I dont know the exact name for them. haha
It's like the dock "travel" charger for just the battery, not the battery connected to the phone.
I havent been able to find something decent (crappy charging, made in china).
Ok a little update for those interested.
I ended up buying some cheap (REALLY cheap) charger off ebay not expecting too much but just experimenting.
The charger itself looks something like this:
{
"lightbox_close": "Close",
"lightbox_next": "Next",
"lightbox_previous": "Previous",
"lightbox_error": "The requested content cannot be loaded. Please try again later.",
"lightbox_start_slideshow": "Start slideshow",

"lightbox_share": "Share",
"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",
"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
The 2 metal prongs connect to + and -; the charger is able to read which is the + and which is the - no matter how you set the battery in there. The bottom part that pushes the battery toward the prong is extendable or you can flip it 180 if you have a really small battery.
-Flashing red and blue light means charging
-Dull red light while plugged in means fully charged
-Dull red light while not plugged in but with battery set up means the pins are set up correctly on the terminals
NOTE: do not take batter off/put battery on while the charger is plugged in. It can ruin the battery.
The exact one i bought:
http://www.ebay.com/itm/270908124203?ssPageName=STRK:MEWNX:IT&_trksid=p3984.m1497.l2649
(no problems with the seller, they actually sent me a few free ones due to a misunderstanding)
Now for the review and my experience.
Pros:
-Fits any battery, interchangeability of pins (differentiating + and -) means you can fit any battery really
-Has a side USB port so you can charge a battery and plug in your USB cord to the phone and charge it at the same time
-Voltage input is 110-220V so (with an adapter) you can theoretically (will test this summer) plug this charge straight into an european plug or north american plug.
-No problems so far with over charging; Charger stops charging the battery when it is full
-Has a light to tell you when the battery is done charging and when you have the pins connected correctly to the battery
-Compact; Small and plug folds up into unit.
-Charges a fully dead battery quickly.
Cons:
-No instructions when I first received this product (i know what you're thinking, how hard could it be to just charge a battery but I was reluctant to rely on the self detecting terminal feature)
-While charging, the light on the unit (the one i posted/bough) flashes red and blue like cop lights and is very bright so it might be a problem if you are plugging it in overnight in a bedroom. Also this is a normal function of the charger but i thought it was malfunctioning so they sent a new unit but then figured out its normal.
-Looks cheap
-Dont know how long it will last for (really cheap so buying another one isnt a problem)
-Noticed that after i pull a battery off the charger and use it the phone states it is at 99% (undercharged) although if i try to bump charge a fully charged battery it wont charge more. This could be a problem with my battery/phone/etc.
-Nothing else really
So final verdict on this product:
Its a great, affordable charger; works great if you are traveling and need to charge an extra battery. Will fit the Incredible 2 extended batteries and technically virtually any battery. Its pretty easy to use once you know what the color lights mean and how to set a battery up.
If anyone has any questions or want more pictures of this product just reply in this thread. Hope this helped out anyone looking for a product like this.
i just wanted to jump on here and say rthank you for posting this. i just oredered one for myself. i droid incredible 2 usb port took a dump on me and now have no way to charge it now without taking it apart and replacing it. thanks again for this info. it will hold me over till i am ready to fix the usb port or get my upgrade. i will just the ftp app from the play store to transfer my files till then.

The problem with the types of solar charger that you posted is that they charge slowly. And exposed to direct sunlight, it might heat up too much and damage the internal lipo.
IF you just need a power source, get a portable battery. They are cheaper and works better in the long run.
Correct about the solar panels, at least with current technology you just can't get enough energy from something this small to justify the added complexity/weight/price.
Unless you are away (as in no mains and no "car" power) for weeks they aren't worth it - and if you are away you still need a more serious panel.
Just get one of the external "power packs" and top them up quickly over a few hours when you get the chance.
As a side-note the battery in Note is pretty big already and I suspect the charging circuit from the phone is quite far from 90%+ efficiency. Bottom line you need to get a beefy external battery; I'd say 5000 mAh is bare minimum if you want to get you through the day if you use the phone much.

So the 10.000 Mah would be good, if i get the chance to get a refund, as the delivery is already 20 days, i am going to buy that one.
Regards, Tomaat
Also, this will ruin the battery, when it isnt recharged with the correct amount of electricity right? Just as when you charge your phone with a car-charger og usb from the computer..?
In my experience, if you want a fully charged lasting battery, you need to charge with electricity from the wall...!

I am not Baekdal, but I am a subscriber of his work. I just thought that it might have been interesting for the discussion mentioned in this thread. I also consider myself an environmentally conscience person, but as the article points out not everything that looks green is green .
The solar charger is much less environmentally friendly than the electrical grid, which means that it will not save you money nor will it save the environment.
I'm glad you've enjoyed it.
Hey there,
greetings from germany. Pretty sure this belongs to "Questions and Answers", if not - please hit me and move it.
I am confronted with a, in my opinion, strange problem regarding my P-601 Samsung Note 10.10 2014 Edition.
I will try to provide every action I took and what I figured out so far that noone that wants to help will need his crystal ball. But the first actions are about a year ago, so forgive me if I cant remember exactly.
Device: Samsung Tablet Note 10.1 2014 Edition (P-601)
Problem: Charging slow AF but lives, can be turned on, can be loaded via USB. (But more power is drained while using than can be delivered by charging = dies sooner or later while beeing used)
OS: LineAge OS
First I thought, EASY - get a new battery, done. Wrong.
I ordered a new battery, a (2) "vhbw" battery for "T8220E" - same mentioned on the original Samsung battery.
This is a year ago, In my belief I did get the tablet to run, and charge- but had the same problems regarding the charging speed. Slow AF - but I am not sure! Life happend, things came inbetween so I did put everything aside. Now I want to use it in my home gym, so thats why I came up here.
My next suggestion was that the charge electronic maybe the problem, so I ordered a new one, built it in. Didnt change anything. The (1) Original battery, is still charging slow af.
The new battery, doesnt do anything! If the (2) "vhbw" battery is built in, I am not able to turn the tablet on OR charge it. Its just a brick with this battery.
So what did I do? I ordered a new battery, from a well known german company trading parts like this, a (3) "original samsung battery". Guess what, the tablet does nothing.
So i thought, maybe your new charging electronic is the problem. So I put the (1) Original Tablet battery in again, and well - it runs, can be turned on and can be charged (slow af).
So the charging electronic is fine. Display is also fine.
I did confirm this several times by changing the batterys in and out, the new batterys (2) and (3) are "dead", the (1) original battery runs.
Right now I am stuck. It seems that my Tablet is blocking any battery besides his original one.
Note: I cant access Recovery Mode with battery (2) and (3). Its really dead. They where also charged atleast an half an hour, just in case they were delivered "really dead at 0%", which would be new to me because most devices or batterys come with atleast 25% battery status.
Note2: Yes I did use a ****load of power adapter and cables all in combination, same result.
Any help is really appreciated! Thanks in advance.

Hello, I came here looking for recommendations for a new battery for my SM-P600. Could you tell me where you ordered your OEM one from?
As far as your problem, do you have a multi-meter? There are very cheap basic ones if you don't. Anyway, you can test the seemingly dead batteries with it to determine if they are in fact dead, or something else is going on.
Secondly, do you happen to have a hobby charger? With these, you can charge pretty much any battery L-ion or other. You can also do a drain test with most of these to determine the capacity of a battery. That is all I can really think of thus far. Determine if the batteries are dead. Oh one more thing you could do with the multi-meter is test the current being applied to the battery. I believe there are some free apps in the Google Play Store that can also tell you the electrical current going into the battery. Perhaps by doing this you can determine if the problem is something in the tablet itself. If I think of anything else, I will let you know.
Thanks
Hey,
thanks for the feedback.
You mean battery (3)? I ordered battery (3) from ng-mobile.de
Funny that you say that with the "dead battery", because I just had the same thought 10 Minutes ago. Those batterys were manufactured years ago I guess and were just sitting cozy in their boxes, I guess they are deep discharged. (hope this vocab is correct).
I have pretty much everything that is measured "useless" in a normal household, but sadly no multi-meter (no more). If those batterys are deeply discharged, it should be possible to be reanimated with very low charging power. The lowest I should have is a USB 2.0 Port on my pc (which were it is connected right now) or a oldschool dumb power bank without any intelligence).
I will keep this updated.
solved
It worked. About an hour connected to a USB 2.0 port of my computer, and it just popped back into live. Thanks for sharing your thoughts with me!
There have been reports of the plugs of replacement batteries for these tablets not fitting properly.
Also bad solder joints at the battery connector.
And a certain behaviour i oberved myself, requiring certain custom roms or chargers in case of my P605:
In soft-off state tablet will charge at 0,5A instead of 2A max
and
When powered on it will charge at full power until the screen switches off and it enters standby. Then no charge at all.
