Extended batteries

Cianos · 2011-02-04 23:04:48

I was thinking of picking up a couple of these, would anyone know if they're any use? I am thinking of either getting one of these or picking up another battery and an external charger, to be able to carry around a spare battery and just replace it if I run out. Both are quite inexpensive on ebay, would love to hear some…

I used to carry around spare ones. But it got to a point where i got pissed of always fiddling around the cover to replace it. So this time i got an extended one on ebay. Though i havent got the time to test the extended battery life under normal use yet. Ive been playing to many games in the past few days

For extra flexibility, you might be interested in an external Duracell USB charger. It's an absolute steal at €3.95 (if it seems suitable, the "2 in 1" is the one you want, far higher batter life from it - 2000mAh vs. 500mAh - than for the 'pocket' one ), which is still available in some Tesco stores (I know they have some in my local Castlebar Tesco, drop me a PM if needed ).

I've got 2 sitting in the laptop case whenever I'm out and about. Unbelievably handy little things. Can't say I would have paid the €65ish original price or even the €47ish via the Duracell site atm, but at <€4 it's an amazing little tool. Works directly with the USB charging cable that comes with the desire, or with a huge number of USB chargeable devices if you have the right cable/adaptor.

(Some Tesco stores seem to have figured there's a mistake on the product pricing [all of the range, which normally varies greatly in price, scan at the same price and same product description in my local store - so looks like an error] and changed it to a higher price, so be sure to check the price on one of the scanners prior to purchase.)
