Any recommendations for a stand-alone charger for these extra (Seido) batteries?
Thanks

My experience with the seidio has been this. It's overpriced for what you get and its underpowered. For a battery that supposedly has roughly 35% more capacity, you'll be lucky to get another 30-35 minutes more usage than the stock battery.
None of these results mean anything if you just post stats and don't actually tell us what you do.
An hour and a half? Yikes I will be returning mine if that's the case when it comes and I test it.
I would maybe pay 10 dollars for 1.5 hours of extra battery life.
Is there a caseback version for the 3500mAh battery yet? Because if I were you guys, I'd jump on that and consider modifying a replacement caseback. The 3500mAh battery kicks butt in my Eris, and I'm working on my caseback now because the Seidio version is too loose.
While stats are much more meaningful "usual day" comments do have meaning. For me the stock battery I was either having to spot charge it during that day or I'm red (<15%) by the time I get home from work (12-13 hrs). With the 1750 I can go all day, use my phone more freely and it will just hit yellow (whatever % that is) right before bed-time.
So is $50 a bit pricey? yes without a doubt. For those that got it at $33 that's a reasonable price. For me personally was the $50 worth it? Absolutely, I can live with charging it daily but having to charge it twice a day was unacceptable. Granted the micro USB cable to charge it at work was only $5.99 so charging it twice a day was cheaper.
Hello and we are sorry for your experience. We have tested numerous pieces of batteries ourselves and did not find any issue with fitment. Maybe sounds like you have a dud? Please PM us your order information and we will be more than happy to see if we can help you out!

What does it matter what I do. I thought it was based on the fact that we want to know if the seido lasts longer. With my normal use my oem lasted 6 hours, with seido it lasted 14 hours.None of these results mean anything if you just post stats and don't actually tell us what you do.
The Seidio charger is great and it can be used as an external charger powered by an outlet or laptop. Also acts as a USB charger for the phone..

It is also "future proof" in that they make adapter kits for it for other and new phones..
Why do you have to turn the phone off? Just unplug, wait 30 seconds, plug back in. Works fine for me.I have an external charger and it is great -- mind you it's not seidio's but they are all the same IMHO. The batteries get COMPLETELY charged as a result (I have both stock 1300 mAh and extended seidio 1750 mAh).
It's a shame that the Incredible has a problem with charging to full 100% while the battery is in the phone itself
Then, it's hard to get the cover off to put the battery in! If the battery door were easy to get on and off, I'd consider this a non-issue, but as it stands you have to either:
A) Do charging trick by turning off phone, charging, then unplug replug about 4-5 times so green light stays on
or
B) Charge with Desktop/Wall charger unit and then re-install battery every day.
That kind of sucks if you ask me ...
Guess we'll have to live with it for now,

I also have the 1750mah battery and have seen a noticeable improvement in the battery life. I must agree with most users that there is no gap on my back cover either...
Perhaps there is something wrong with yours Ryobi? I can't find the picture you have of the gap, but i'd like to know what part of the phone you have it on because I just examined my edges and they all look flush as with the OEM battery.
