Accessories emergency battery

Well the 5 dollar non-oem batteries will give you more juice than that emergency charger. I was reading one of the threads about ebay batteries, and most people are saying they are as good, if not better, than the oem battery.
Just speaking from experience the two off brand batteries I have didnt last as long in my HERO. They are by no means garbage though. They just might be at 20% at the end of my day instead of 30-40%. I know a lot depends on usage, and my tests arent science but I could see the pattern.

I agree with you though they are still a great option, and much better than the emergency charger. They will still get me through a full day which is all that I would need.

I just bought off of both of these sellers and both shipments arrived very promptly and all the batteries hold fantastic charges.

I wouldn't mind an emergency charger. Well, for me it would be a mobile charger. I have a spare battery, but I dont think the clips on my case will last that long if I continue changing the battery every day.

I've used the Solio as an emergency charger. That took about 3 minutes for every 1 percentage point so I returned it. Sprint has a portable charger for almost 40% less the cost of the Solio. The only difference: no solar charging.
