BlackBerry LS1 Battery Charger Bundle Z10

My BlackBerry Z10 was not charging, every time I plugged it in it would shut the phone off and give me a solid red light. I tried multiple cords and power supplies and no change, I thought the phone was fried, turns out the mini usb port is burnt out. I bought this battery charger and a new battery. I used this to charge the new battery and the old battery, popped a fully charged battery back in the phone and its up and running again. I'm able to get all of my pics and videos off of the device and continue using it until I'm eligible for an upgrade in 6 months. Great product!

For the price you get an OEM battery for the Z-10 and slim charger. At first you think that the cord is a little short and the plug is facing the wrong way, but when you use it you realize that it is placed that way so you can stack the phone and the charger on top of each other for smaller footprint and makes it easy to hold the charger and the phone in one hand while you use it.Quite frankly, even if you don't have a Blackberry Z-10, you can leave the battery in the charger and you have a compact 1800mAh battery pack that will power any microUSB device.

If I forget to turn off the bluetooth when I get out of my car, my BlackBerry Z10 spends the rest of the day trying to connect with every device in the building and the battery is gone by mid-afternoon. This charger is light enough to have in my pocket while charging the phone. However, due to the inflexibility of the cord, it is slightly awkward, as it sticks out beyond the edge of the phone instead of lying flush within the area of the phone. I know this could be avoided if I just swapped batteries, but that would involve taking off my case and having to wait for it to reboot. Anyway, it charges up the battery in about an hour. Handy little thing!

I love the ability to quickly change out the battery. I actually have two of these so that when I know I have a busy day ahead of me I can replace as necessary. I know it is supposed to charge the battery in the phone if it is not a convenient time to change the battery however I have not found this as efficient with the charge as just changing out the battery.One possible downfall I imaging is that when I change phones at some point these will probably not be useful.

Worked one time.

Just right!

I use it as a charger, to charge things like my LG bluetooth head phones, and the phone. Obviously it dies a lot quicker charging the phone, but it still is good for about a 20 - 30 % increase in battery life. It could also be due to my battery that I'm using in it is old. But it charges my phone at 4.5 W steady until the battery starts to die, then drops to about 1W until it just stops charging. When i charge the headphones, I'm not sure what W it charges at, but after the hour of charging the battery is still left in the green. SO, I assume it's dispensing the charge at a lower and slower rate.

The battery charges well, but the connection to my phone does not fit well and has to be wiggled quite a bit before a connection is made.

This is a perfect match for people owing a Z10, as the stock battery can hardly last for a whole day of heavy use. I find a few different ways of using it: 1) if the phone battery is low and I do not want to interrupt what I am doing, I will just plug the battery pack to the phone's USB, to gain the extra few minutes of usage; 2) otherwise, I will just turn off the phone and make a battery swap, then I can recharge the old battery on the pack; 3) the pack serves as a generic backup power for any device using microUSB (I like to use it to power the blackberry music gateway); 4) and unlike other backup power pack, the battery is replaceable (just put in a new LS1 when the old one dies). Very versatile. Also its compact size allow me to always carry it in my pant pocket or waist bag. Only 1 cons: the orientation of the microUSB plug is designed (or mis-designed) in a way that if you want to rest the pack behind the phone, the cable has to be 90 degree folded so that the connector can be plugged in.If you are considering any backup power pack for your Z10, this is THE one to consider, If the price is a bit steep, just wait for it to be on sale.

The whole kit is slick, really intelligent design and at a fair price. Only failing is the battery life is not that great.

While the Z10 has decent battery life it doesn't last into the evening with heavy use. This spare battery and charger has saved me on several nights when I was out of juice by dinner time.Pros: Small, easy to carry and case protects the battery. Only a few $ more than battery alone. Can charge separately or in line with your phone.Cons: Sometimes the connection to charge the phone doesn't take, you have to disconnect and reconnect then the charging icon displays. It might just be my phone, that happens with the regular charger too.

Performs exactly as it should. Can be used for a spare battery, or as a charger for the phone. Charges the phone really quickly, and it's compact and easy to carry around so you are never out of power. I took one star off for the weird, twisty connector that's just a hair too short. Definitely not a deal breaker! Get one - you won't be disappointed.

Product like shown in the picture. Arrived two days before announced. Totally recommend this seller. The product is very useful, perfect size to carry wherever you go in case you need an extra battery. You can either transfer the charged battery to your phone, use it as a charger or just plug it to your phone if you are in the middle of the conversation and you discover you will run out of battery.
