A really inexpensive cell phone battery charger.

I have at least a half dozen gadgets to charge my cell phone when I travel. But they involve carrying at least one device and usually a charging cable. Normally I just carry a spare fully charged battery> I find it's is the easiest and most convenient thing to do, except for one minor problem. You have to remember to charge the spare battery. That’s usually done by charging the battery in the phone, then putting in my travel bag. Then I charge another one up to full and leave it in the phone. But then I was looking through gadgets on the CellPhoneShop website and I saw the Motorola desktop charger. It lets you charge the battery of the Motorola ATRIX 4G, Motorola DROID X and Motorola DROID X2 outside the phone. I have the X2. It really makes it easy and convenient to charge a spare battery. It’s compact with folding AC blades built right in so you can charge directly from a wall outlet. It also allows charging via a built in USB port, but the USB to USB cable is not included. CellPhoneShop says the device has built-in multi-protection circuits and that it automatically stops charging when the battery is full. There’s an LED charging indicator, but no instructions. After trying it. I’m assuming the orange light means charging, and the blue light indicates fully charged. Best of all, it’s just $5.99, plus S&H. They do ship directly from China so it can take a few weeks for your order to arrive. But the price is right and it works great so far. They have this same type of adapter for dozens of phones and you can search for accessories by phone model number.

Solution a: the old charging technology, always let the battery power to maintain the highest in 100% (early battery plan is so). But because before that, this not mature charging ways can damage cells, reduce battery life, so it has now been eliminated.APPLE 616-0029 Battery.
Scheme ii: the use of the new technology and use accurate charging power statistics function (like just blue power of the data line statistical scheme).
Plan 3: use new technology and use not accurate charge of electric power statistical functions (that is, the current Android system comes with power statistical scheme).sanyo vpc-hd700 battery.
