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 charger weighs about the same as a cell phone and is the size of a pack of cards.  It attaches to the arm using a comfortable armband.  As the users arm moves, weights and magnets charge a built in battery.  This battery can be used to charge a cell phone, mp3 player, or other portable electronic.

No word yet on cost or availability in the US but keep your eyes open.

Display your phone and its accessories in style on your desk in the office, or at home with the Blackberry Power Station. With it you can charge your phone, Blackberry HS-655 Bluetooth headset, and a spare battery all at once.

You can also remove the mini Extra Battery Charger at the back and take it, spare battery and any Blackberry charger with you while traveling for maximum convenience. Simply slide your phone into the form-fitted cradle at the front. Your Blackberry Bluetooth headset fits into the circular charger right behind the device. An extra battery fits into the mini Extra Battery Charger at the rear of the Blackberry Power Station.

The Blackberry Power Station holds your phone firmly in place while providing full access to the keyboard and side buttons. Call home or dial into a conference call using the speakerphone functionality of your phone. And, while your phone charges, you can sync it with your computer wirelessly via Bluetooth (or with a USB cable). The Blackberry Power Station includes a 1.6 Amp power supply to rapidly charge multiple products.

Features:

The power station works wonderfully.  It makes it easy to see your phone when charging and does a great job charging a spare battery and the bluetooth headset.

The unit is compact but the 6 foot coiled cord provides enough reach for almost any vehicle application.  The light on the charger notes whether the unit has power or not.

The charging technology meets all OEM specifications and includes the smart chip to keep the charger from overcharging your LG battery.   This charger also comes with a 1 year warranty from Wirexgroup, the manufacturer.

We found the charger worked well.  We would rate it as a medium speed charger as it took a couple of hours to fully charge our battery.  The battery never felt hot during the charging cycle which was a good thing.  We also felt comfortable knowing the manufacturer is based here in the US and provides a guarantee their charger will not damage the phone or battery.  If for some reason it does (such as the charger is defective), they will replace the phone or battery at their expense.

While there are many chargers on the market for a few bucks less, the guarantee and reputation of this manufacturer made spending a couple of bucks more worth it in our opinion.

The charger is compatible with many of the most current LG models including the Muziq, Rumor, Shine, Scoop, Chocolate, VX8500, VX8550 and more.  Find this and other LG Accessories here.

The Swiss Travel retractable cable line has been designed to simplify and enhance your ability to plug in your phone at home or on the road. 

They have designed a cable that is small enough to carry with you, but the cable stretches long enough to accomplish any task. 

The cable worked well to charge a Motorola RAZR and Blackberry Curve phone.  It does not work to sync data but if you are just looking for a charging cable, it worked great.

Like batteries, the charger market is full of low cost, low quality, junk units.  Brand name counterfeiting is everywhere and these cheap knockoffs can easily fry your phone.  As with batteries, it is important to buy from a trusted source and manufacturers that guarantee the charger will not damage the phone with a promise to replace it if they do.

 The Cradle 8800: Blackberry Compatible Cradle with Smart Charge Technology is a great Blackberry 8800 series accessory.  Not only can you charge your phone, but you can charge your spare battery at the same time.  The features of this charger are…

Features:

So not only will it charge your phone and battery, but it does it quickly!!  I also love that if you are just sitting at your desk or something you can place your phone in the charging cradle and it will be at the perfect reading angle.  This charger is not only easy it’s extremely useful and efficient!  Charger is also compatible with the 8820 and 8830 phones.

It’s small and lightweight for convenience, portability and easy storage so no matter where you are, you’ll have the ability to power up your mobile phone device or MP3 while simultaneously charging the battery—keeping the music playing and the communication lines always open.

We found this charger to feel solid and do a good job of charging.  The prongs easily fold in and out making it a nice compact unit.

The chargers provide a rapid charge to your LG phone until the battery nears full at which time it switches to a trickle charge.  This trickle charge protects your LG phones battery from overcharge.  Compatible with some of the newest and most popular LG phones such as the Voyager, Muziq, Rumor, Flare, and Shine. 

Overall, this is a great product that provides a good all in one solution for about the same price as a separate travel and car charger.

The WildCharger™ pad is flat and thin with a conductive surface. Once a cell phone or other electronic device that is enabled with WildCharge technology is placed on the pad – anywhere on the pad and at any orientation – it will instantaneously receive power from the pad. It is that simple. And charging speed is the same as if the device is plugged to the wall!

While this sounds pretty cool, a truly wireless charger is in the works from another company that if it hits the market, will be even cooler.  Initial tests show it will charge the device if placed within 3 feet of the charger.  No contact between the device and charger are required.  This Witricity as it has been termed is in development at MIT.  For now, the WildCharge may be the way to go but in the future, Witricity sounds pretty cool.

The combo features a car charger and pop out travel prongs for use at home or the office.  Use with your USB data or charging cable.
