So I looked on ebay for an extra battery for my torch (I always like to have an extra in case) but they weren't selling any F-S1 batteries! But instead they advertised D-X1 TORCH 9800 Battery. So I don't know if it will work and if I should order it.

I have the D-X1 external charger and it seems to fit the F-S1 in there but it's kind of lose. Would it charge it properly?

I've been trying to google these answers but no help please someone who knows let me know!

From what I've read, the answer is No and No.

I answered one of my own questions, the D-X1 charger works for F-S1 but the D-X1 battery I will test out when I find a friend with a curve or storm

The D-X1 charger does NOT work with the F-S1 battery. You will get a red light charge, which means it is NOT charging. It's only charging when you get a amber light. The F-S1 battery fits in the D-X1 charger but it just doesn't charge.

So thats actually the Torch 9800 F-S1 battery charging in the BlackBerry Mini External Battery Charger for Tour 9630, Curve 8900, Storm 9530/9500, Storm 2 9550/9520, Bold 9650 thats listed on the CrackBerry Store?

If so thats awesome!

How long did it take to reach 100% fully charged? When using the RIM charger (part number HDW-19137-001) the light turns ORANGE and then RED and after 6 and a half hours, it was put inthe phone. It was only at 70% charge.

IMHO, 6.5 hours to reach 70% is unacceptable.

Has anyone found out if the D-X1 external charger works as is or can me 'modified" to charge the Torch F-S1 batteries?
