    Hi there-Looking for any recommendations on sourcing an (reasonably priced) external charger for my Nokia Lumia battery which uses the BP-3L battery model.
    As the battery life is little more than a day and a bit, I bought a second battery for my phone so I could have a back up charged and ready to go whenever i needed it.
    In addition, having to have the phone tethered to the wall/computer to perform the charge operation is an absolute pain in the posterior. If i had an external dock to charge my second battery, then i could just switch batteries back and forth and say goodbye to tethering my phone for 3 hours 5-6 days a week.
    I've done lots of googling,ebaying,amazoning etc, but it's hard to find exactly what I'm looking for as I keep getting directed to external battery packs, mobile charge units and docking stations....gurrrrrr.....Any helpful solutions or site suggestions would be welcome

    This is why i love the boards....Cheers Banie01. But I'm wondering about the charge terminals? on my phone and on the battery there are 3 pins for connecting the battery rather than the two displayed. the charging dock itself looks like it's made for the BP-4L battery.But I'm not too up on battery pinmanship. Does anyone know if this matteers a feic??? :D

    Got the product and first impressions are not good since the the 3-pin adapter for the two flat pin device is designed arse-ways and will not connect. They've glued/moulded the female holes the wrong way round so it's impossible to connect the two devices. Nonsense. I'll be able to sort it as I have other adapters that'll probably do the job. still thou. pain in the arse.
