that spare evo battery for $12.99 is 1100mAh it's a P.O.S and car charger is now $2.99cellphoneshop.net
unbelivable prices. Ive got all my things from here. Spare EVO battery 15 bucks. Car charger 4.99. All shipped from Hong Kong arrives in 5 business days. Im surprised no one uses this site. Also got a Motorola BT ear piece for 15 bucks.
My fav is the rocketfish usb cigarette lighter at best buy (im sure there is a cheaper alt online). I love it because its an amp so it charges quickly and can keep up with a phone that is multi-tasking and 99% of it fits wholly inside the cigarette lighter, meaning if you have one that is in an ashtray then you can close the door on it. Then you just hook up a micro USB when you get in the car but can re-use that usb on your laptop or the excellent HTC wall USB adapter.
I would advise that you order this charger. When I bought my evos, the sprint person tried to sell me this exact charger, and it was $40.00. I looked and found the same charger for $9.00. This charger can plug into a cigarette adapter, or a wall outlet, and you can use it to charge two phones at the same time. This is the absolute best charger I have ever seen.

I went with this one.OEM MICRO USB Auto Car CHARGER for HTC HD2 EVO 4G Droid - eBay (item 270632234892 end time Jan-05-11 08:21:20 PST)
He claims it's OEM and he's sold 900+ from all his auctions.
Here's a link which works better:
Rocketfish™ USB Vehicle Power Adapter - Black : Rocketfish
Now what I want to know is when you plug this charger into an Evo and goto Menu > Settings > About phone > Battery does Battery status say Charging (USB) or Charging (AC)? Please note that the phone needs to be charging and the LED needs to be yellow instead of green to see the charging status.

Thats great I'm glad you got a deal but the web site says 1100mah under specs Lithium Battery For HTC EVO 4G, Hero (Sprint, CDMA) - HTC EVO 4G and the picture shows a 1300mah battery so you can understand my confusionIt is? I bought 2 of them and they lasted me all day. I love them. and the car charger is cheap but who cares, it works. Im not gonna spend 40 bucks so it can say Motorola. Gay.
Oh and BTW its 1300 mAh. It works great
From a post of mine in XDA-developers:So when I am plugged into the rocketfish thing it says charging(usb) whereas when I am plugged into the HTC wall plug its charging(ac). Is that indicative of the charger not outputting as much power or is it a trigger to the phone for some reason?
You can CLICK HERE to read the entire post if you'd like. It even includes some information on how to modify a charger to work in AC mode.

Interesting thanks. Now the question is if I am brave enough to modify it.
Edit: wait. That was connected to the car charger directly. I know the car mount uses the data pins thing to trigger car mode. Does that mean if i plug it into the car mount and then into the charger it might trick it into thinking its a full wall charger?
