Would it be safe to

---

Ok. I love my Inspire + Android but the battery life just kills me. I'm a heavy GPS user because I go to NYC a lot and need to find places where to eat, subway directions, LIRR schedule, etc.

Anyway I was thinking, since the battery for the Inspire is small and thin, would it be safe to keep a spare charged battery in my wallet for when I need it? Even in my back pocket would be a good place to put it.

Yeah, plenty of people buy a second battery to switch out when one dies. When I bought my phone at Radioshack they tried to sell me one. It will be fine, just don't let the battery get too hot and maybe put it in something so no piece of metal can make pins contact each other.

Thanks for the answer

Two other options:

1) External battery. I have this one from Amazon:

Works pretty well. You simply attach it to the phone via a USB cable, and it charges it up.

2) Recently bought a powerskin case

This adds bulk to the phone, but is really nice to have. Simply attach the case to the phone and you are good to go. The battery in the case keeps the phone charged. I only recently got this, but it works really well for all day use. The bulkiness of the case could be an issue. I only use it when I know that I will be away from a powersource all day. Otherwise, I go to my regular case, which is much slimmer.

Hope this helps.

I just rooted and s-off, battery life is much better.
