Can you charge these batteries inside the phone? Or only with a charger? Someone reported that it melted his sim card when charged inside the phone.

I charge it in my phone everyday, only way I do, the battery life has been great, no issues, I would say battery life is at least a 3rd or so better then factory battery, hope this helps you.

I have never removed this battery since I bought it and it has received several charges. i try not to leave it on the charger since I have heard, cell batteries in general, do not do well when left on the charger at a full charge.No specific issues with this specific battery however.

So far, I have not had a problem with this battery, including using the phone to charge it.

You can charge it either way you want. It should operate identically to the original battery (aside from capacity of course). I've only been charging it inside the phone, and I haven't had any overheating problems with it so far.

We have charged the batteries with the HTC Sensation charger while the battery was still in the phone (just as we did before installing the Anker battery). So far, we have not had any problems.

This is the only battery we use on our phone. We have not had any issues with it since purchase. Especially anything melting.

Hello:I bought two units. I always have one charging when the other runs out. I have not tested the unit in the charger. The battery life is excellent (more than 24 hours). I don't use the unit as the main telephone (answer or call regular everyday life situations - only for an emergency). Every time I want to make or answer a call, I do it from the wireless telephone or the main telephone (Base).Regards;Ino

Hello Jake, When manufacturing these batteries, there may be a residual charge in the battery. For example, when you get your new Galaxy S5 or your Apple iPhone and you try to turn the phone on for the first time, the chances are the phone will turn on because there are some charge left in the original battery. If you receive a battery with zero charge, please remove all plastic around the battery terminal and start to charge the battery either on your phone or with the included charger. Thank you

This set comes with 2 batteries and a charger that plugs straight into the wall. Your "extra" battery docks into the charger. Now, with that being said, you can still charge your phone by it's original charger OR if you have a USB cable (This set DOES NOT COME WITH A USB CABLE) you can plug the "wall charger" that is charging your extra battery up via a USB cable also instead of charging it straight into an outlet. I have used my regular USB phone charger to charge my phone with one of the batteries in it; I have used a car charger to charge it; and I have also used the charging dock that came with the batteries. All methods work fine ;-) This set comes with 2 batteries and a charger that plugs straight into the wall. Your "extra" battery docks into the charger.

Hello Mark, The battery will charge in the phone or in the external charger. Thank you

I do not know about your particular phone's charging issues, but with my Samsung Galaxy s3 I learned that the problem (and apparently a common one with Samsung phones) is that the USB recharging port has poor quality soldering. I've ultimately found that a better solution than USB charging or even using the Lerway wireless Qi "drop-pad charger" is to use multiple batteries with wall charging units. I believe I've written a review for such a product - it was around $20 for the charging unit and 2 spare batteries. I ABSOLUTELY LOVE how fast and efficient wall chargers/spare batteries are. I know have 7 spare batteries so I can keep several at home, a few in my office, a few in the car, etc. I can pop out a discharged battery and replace it with a fully charged on in about 15 seconds. Forget USB and drop-pad chargers.

That manufacturer of batteries makes a multitude of batteries. Contact the seller for the MOST accurate information! They were so impressive I ordered 2 batteries with charger. Now flying international in not a concern - at least regarding batteries! :-)

I charge mine in the charger most of the time. Charging a battery in the phone genarates heat

While it was my husband that needed the battery, I do know that he was not happy with it. The phone kept shutting off, once he ordered another battery (from another vendor) the phone works. So I would NOT recommend this battery. As for being charged, it is my belief that all cell phone batteries you order come charged.

I have the same problem, 2 out of 4 chargers have failed. I'm trying to rotate the phones to keep 3 or 4 charged but come on, that's ridiculous isn't it? And buying the charger new for $20? the full unit is $38.99 right now...

I just used a travel charger. I ended up throwing it away though, the charging time was terrible, my phone was charging for over couple of hours. From dead to maybe 30% in that time

The only way I know to charge/recharge the battery is to use it in the device you bought it for. The batteries came partly charged and worked fine in my devices.Currently AT&T; cordless phones.

I always kept mine fully charge and in my purse for backup. The batteries will be fine, I used mine for a year like this until I got a new phone. The batteries are still in great condition. The true worry comes from leaving them on the charger to long it cause the battery to get hot and expand which makes them go bad much faster.

I would typically plug it in when the battery died. I would just plug the charger directly to the phone or to my rapid-charge car charger - while still in the phone. One thing I should point out though. About one month after the warranty expired, the battery bloated up. I had to replace it with a zero lemon battery. I've had the new battery about 3 months and so far it is working flawless.

It's possible, yeah. I thought the issue I was having with my phone not taking a charge was because of the batteries, so I replaced them, but that didn't fix it. If your phone is working, don't worry about it. If it won't take a charge, try replacing them. I ended up having to replace my handsets all together.

You put the battery on the phone and charge it right away, as soon as you receive it from Amazon, if it has no charge. I the battery has charge, then you use it until it does not have anymore charge. There are no instructions when you receive those batteries from the vendor. You just follow your best judgement. You don't ruin the phone nor the batteries if you use them right away.
