Arrow 8000mAh portable battery on woot today 7/15 for $49.99

I know quite a few of us have been considering one of these portable power solutions for our EVO's and other devices. Not sure If I'm going to bite as I've already have 3 OEM Evo batteries and 2 Counterfeit's, and I'm struggling to find a situation that would arise that would require me to use all 5 batteries before I had access to power. Unless of course one of those Man vs Wild situation comes up and I'm left to wonder the desert for 10 days (chances of having a 4g or even a 2g signal are probably slim) with only my trusty EVO at my side!

Has anybody gotten that double sized battery? I was considering that. Although I'm unsure if the added bulk would be acceptable.

I've been using the Energizer for a week now to charge my Evo and it's been working out great!

awesome! how many times can you charge it? You should be able to charge it 5 times fully, if it's really an 8000mAh.

I've used this charger this past weekend. The bad thing about this charger is that you have to babysit it at the beginning of the charge cycle. The Evo won't charge if the battery is overheating, so after pressing the start button on Energizer, the Energizer will automatically turn itself off. But if you wait 5 mins to let the Evo's battery cool down a bit, you can restart the charging cycle. I didn't have this problem with AC or USB charging.
