Make sure its no less then 1000 MV or 1 amp which is same
 
Im after the external charger and extra battery.
Yea indo fell that is a good deal w the two batteries.
i just wanted to be surenthis charger is specd right for the oem battery so not to ruin it.

like roadkill said anything with 1000mv or 1amp but i would like to know in what section should this value be applied is it the input or output?

Are you talking about the charger itself? The batteries aren't that much greater capacity than the stock battery. But that's a good price for the batteries and you get the charger, too, so if you need a replacement battery that seems like a good way to go. I did that for my Fuji camera and the batteries ended up being better than the OE battery, go figure.

If you only want the charger I found this one on Amazon for under $10.50 with shipping: http://www.amazon.com/CellPhone-Charger-Optimus-LS720-Sprint/dp/B00G42IVZE/ Good think about Amazon is they will stand behind you if there is a problem with it.

Good luck.

Well, I'm not sure why roadkill is making that recommendation. AFAIK LG hasn't specified this number, and from what I can find they don't sell an external battery charger. As a general rule, a lower rating will simply extend the time necessary to fully charge the battery (just like trickle chargers on vehicle batteries). Higher ratings charge faster but also generate more heat and can shorten battery life.

You can buy that same setup on Amazon for about the same money, so that's how I'd proceed. As noted, if it doesn't work right, Amazon will get you a refund if the seller balks. http://www.amazon.com/MetroPCS-Optimus-replacement-Battery-Charger/dp/B00PC8KEB0
This looks to be the same seller as your ebay one given the way the details are presented.

Good luck.

That's kind of the distinction I was drawing. You're looking at the PHONE charger output and extrapolating that information to a situation that is different from the one posited by the OP, who is inquiring about a separate charger that does nothing but recharge the battery directly.

One should NEVER use a phone charger that is rated differently from the manufacturer's specs.

However, we can't find specs related to charging the battery itself, directly, when it is not in the phone. I'd personally be very wary of hammering a 2,460ma battery with a charger rated at roughly 1/3 of the battery capacity. Overcharging an L-ion battery is one of the things that leads to those horrible stories about them bursting into flame; once they get hot enough they continue the reaction themselves, which seems at least to have been part of the problem Boeing experienced with the Dreamliner.

Good luck all 'round...and Happy New Year.

I ordered the external charger w two batts of the ebay seller. Should have it here soon. Below you speak of evercharging and even fire/over heating of the battery. I suppose i can use the external charger for the supplied batts and not the oe batt to avoid damage to my oe batt.
Im coming to this decision bc you mentioned there is no real specs available to correct compair the chargeing specs between the phone charger/phone to the external charger. Or do i have that wrong?
