2 batteries & external charger for $10!
 
http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll...ht_1968wt_1138

received this in the mail yesterday!
I took one of the batteries that it came with and put it into the charger, it only took about 2-3 hours to charge.
It is in my phone now and seems to be just like the stock one.
One the outside of these it says "spare HTC Touch Pro 2 battery", these are the exact same mAh (1500) as the TP2's, so there shouldn't be any issues.

The charger nor battery got hot when it was done charging.
While charging there is a purple-ish light that is on, then when it's done that light turns green.

you will notice the batteries are different, The red one is the stock htc evo battery and the white/black one of the 2 that I bought.

charging unit, notice it isn't 1A, so it takes just a tad longer than the stock charger but no biggie!:

*I forgot to add...
I put a fully charged battery into my phone last night (one of these around 11pm) before bed and didn't connect it to the charger last night.
As of right now there's around 75% battery (which I've used the 3g and I've been texting all morning)

up time: 12:35:21
awake time 3:27:04

I received mine yesterday. They were shipped from Hong Kong and only took about a week to get to Rhode Island. I charged both batteries and they both stayed cool the entire time charging. I put one in my phone and it works great. Great deal for 10 bucks!

Yup!!
Now I need to invest in some good micro usb cables! The micro to mini adapters I have don't work and the 2 cheap micro usb cables I have will charge for like 2 seconds then quit!

they say 1500 mAh, but how much power do you really get out of it? batteryboss.org did some testing and some get 800 mAh to 1250 mAh. i was thinking of getting just the charger for ~$5 to use with my spare TP2 battery.

I just got them in the mail yesterday, took about a week to get here. I've been hearing that they are not 1500 mAh as well, but even if they're not, $10 is a great price for 2 batteries and a wall charger. Will do some testing and see how long this batteries last compare to my stock EvO battery.

I have only used 1 of the batteries so far and it lasted just as long as my stock evo battery!

I bought this from honk kong as well, just got mine yesterday too, took 17 days, which is with his 14-21day given time frame... i'm pretty sure charging just the battery is much better than using a usb cable with it to charge the one in the phone.

if i remember correctly, this is 4.2V and the stock EVO one is 5v... i think 1A also as apposed to the .8A this charger puts out.

IMO the 5V 1A from HTC is because the phone is a powerhouse and need the extra push-power. But if you are just charging a battery with this, then all should be well.

Basically, if you're looking to get a quick charge on the battery IN the phone, this is not the USB charger you want. But its a BEUATY for my spare batteries now :D LOVIN THE BRIGHT CHARGING LIGHTS!

Got the same deal. Cannot be beat. Batteries seem to last just as long as the original battery.
