No more battery issues on the cheap!

I just wanted to share my recent findings for those who cant stand the terrible battery life the Touch pro has. After trying many roms, we have to accept our battery life just plain sucks from the getgo.

So i searched high and low and ebay surprisingly lead me to the answer. I bought 2 OEM batteries for $6 shipped each, and an external battery charger for $6. Yes it comes from hong kong and id gladly pay a cpl $ more to a US supplier but they were at least twice the price unfortunately.

So for as little as $12 you can have an extra OEM battery and a charger for it. I paid 18 total but I also havent plugged my phone into the wall for over 2 weeks now as i have 3 batteries total. The freedom this brings makes the phone worthwhile again. There are many sellers and at least 20-30 buy it now for both battery and charger (however beware as some will list sprint cdma touch pro but the batt is for GSM and will not show % of battery life in our phones.. this happened to me but the seller gave a refund without me shipping it back which was nice!)

Good luck and may someone be relieved from battery horrors after taking the time reading this lol

I'm going to wait for HTC to release the Nuclear Reactor dongle!
