I found one on Ebay for $5 or $6 bucks. We'll see how it works while I wait on Seidio. Just put in the term "droid x wall charger" on an Ebay search.

So can anyone confirm that these things are stable and won't harm the battery?

You have to take into consideration they are coming from China. So it's a chance you'll have to take. Of course most things do today.

I found a web site that sells them, because of warnings the web site triggered other peoples security software (it didn't mine) I put off buying it, was $7.00 if I recall. At least one person from that thread bought one. Can probably do a search to bring up that thread to see if he updated.

I can confirm it's stable...Not sure about hurting the battery long term. I got this along with 2 generic batteries from the eBay vendor sellinday for under $14. I have charged both generic batteries with the charger, no problem. The generic batteries don't last as long in the phone as the Moto battery does.

I don't recommend the batteries as a replacement, but are fine as a backup. One battery is recognized and will charge in the phone, but will drop from 100 to 5 percent in 4 hours and will stay on 5 percent for 3 more hours before the phone shuts down. The other battery will last about the same amount of time (7 hours) but the battery icon shows a question mark in it and the battery cannot be charged in the phone. Good for an emergency, but not for daily use.

Did the charger (same one as you are asking about) cause these problems, probably not. My though is the batteries are mislabeled as 1540 mA. You are always taking a chance when you buy generic items.

Yes, the charger is stable, comes with a USB connector also, and they are coming with batteries often.

The battery is OK for a spare, but it isn't Motorola and the battery charge indicator on the phone can't display a value.

They take about 10 days to order from China.

I bought the charger for $7 and used it one time for my spare battery with no problems. Its the kind where the prongs flips out and plug into wall like a lot of camera battery chargers. Desktop Battery Charger For Motorola DROID X - Motorola DROID X
