Blackberry Storm Original Mini External Battery Charger

ASY-18976-002

Now you can make sure you have a spare Blackberry battery fully charged while you continue to use your phone, or just add in a USB cable to charge your device and your spare at the same time.

Use the Mini Extra Battery Charger with any BlackBerry charger (sold separately) to power up a spare battery in your car, in your home or office, or right off your computer. It’s even mini-USB compatible.

Like all device chargers, it reliably delivers constant current and voltage to charge your device safely and rapidly, and help extend the life of your battery. You’ll have the security of knowing your extra battery is charged and ready whenever you need it for your device.

The Blackberry Storm 9500 series of phones is a battery drainer.  With it great selection of features and vibrant touch screen, it is easy to drain the battery without getting through a full day.  Carrying an extra charged battery is one option for keeping the Blackberry Storm powered up and ready to go.  The Blackberry Original Mini Charger allows you to charge the extra battery even though it is not on the phone.  Without this option, it would be worthless to have an extra battery.  While there are a number of other charging solutions such as car chargers, travel chargers, etc.  There are times where access to an outlet can be an issue.  Do not chance missing that important phone call, email, text message or other business document.  Even if it keeping your phone charged is for entertainment purposes, a dead phone is nothing more than an expensive paper weight.

Get the most out of your phone by keeping it powered up, ready to go, and available for use.

Extended Capacity Battery and Cover for the Motorola Q SPLITQXTBK

If you feel like you are having to charge your phone way too often this Extended Capacity Battery with Cover is a great way to get more talk time in between charges.

This aftermarket battery offers 1400 mAh of power, providing almost double the talk and standby time the original standard battery.  Because of the power difference the extended battery is thicker, which is why it requires a different battery cover. 

If you need additional talk and standby time and don’t mind a small increase in the size of your phone this is the way to go.

Getting More Out of Your Blackberry Battery

Blackberry HolsterOne way to get more out of your Blackberry battery is to carry it in a holster with proximity sensing technology.  The technology uses a magnet to put the Blackberry phone into sleep mode when it is inserted into the holster.  As a result, battery life is increased substantially when the unit is not in use.

While shields or cases provide good protection for Blackberry phones, they will not provide proximity sensing technology.  Regardless of whether you will be carrying your phone in your pocket, on your belt, or elsewhere, using a holster with proximity sensing is a great way to increase your battery life.

Battery Buying Pitfalls

Blackberry BatteryI was looking for a Blackberry battery and came across a situation that reminded me of something to watch out for primarily when buying batteries online.  I found a site that had the C-S2 OEM battery at a great price.  The battery was 70% off retail and a good 30% cheaper than I could find it anywhere else.  My first thought was this is great.  But, after reading the reviews submitted by past customers, it became apparent these were either counterfeit, refurbished, and/or used batteries being sold as new.  Almost every reviewer noted the poor talk and standby time or the battery going dead after only a few weeks.

While we all want to get more out of our battery, the authentic, new C-S2 provides pretty good talk and standby time and should last through at least 800 charging cycles.  So while it would have been great to get a battery at this kind of discount, the reality is it was not a discount but a rip off.  If your not one to buy an Omega watch on the street for $10 because you know it is fake, be careful of the same thing online with cell phone accessories.
