Getting a second battery for my Desire

heebusjeebus

Guys,
I'm getting a second battery for my Desire. I've got Electric Picnic coming up and I'd prefer to be able to use the phone all day and I don't want to limit my activities on it.
The stock battery is 1400mAh. Does anyone think there would be a problem if I use a 1600mAh battery?

Thanks

HJ

Don't know, but there will probably be a phone charging station there. Make sure to bring the usb cable and you should be able to get a recharge.

Cheers Subway.
Suppose I can drop the 2nd battery with a desk dock at the recharge station.

Hi heebusjeebus - where are you getting the battery from and how much? I am really thinking about getting a spare!

It charges much slower via USB. Using an inverter in your car with the standard charger is much faster.

Ebay. Not sure what the quality is like to be honest. Its all hit and hope but for €10 I cant complain.

A mate of mine had his iphone out over the weekend and i saw his case had a battery built in the back and when the main battery ran out, this one would kick in and recharge the main one, acting like a 2nd battery.

does something similar exist for the desire?

There is a double capacity battery for the Desire

I'm sure I'd be comfortable removing the back cover too often. The clips seem delicate.
