[QUOTE="Clovishound, post: 806610, member: 50197"] I have been dragging my feet on this for some reason. The Pup is asking me what I want for Father's Day. I'm thinking about telling her a spare battery for my Z5. I currently don't have one, and have been thinking if I unexpectedly run dry (hasn't happened yet), I can just take it back to the car and plug it in for a while and get a partial charge. Probably need a real spare. I've also thought about getting one of the cell phone backups, the ones you charge up and plug into your phone. I could get by with this for the unlikely possibility of running up against a dead battery. You can operate the Z5 with a miniC cord plugged in. I've also thought about an aftermarket battery, since it likely wouldn't be used much, if at all. I'm a little leery of aftermarket batteries, although I'm sure there are some brands that are better than others. Then there's the possibility they may pull an Apple and lock out an aftermarket via firmware. What say you? [/QUOTE]
