Trying to bring things back on topic, I have been looking for one of those charging stations like the ones for recharging sets of 2-way radios to charge up 2-4 spare Librem5 batteries at once. My reason is that I still want to figure out a way to stop bringing android/ios with me when I go on backpacking trips. Plus, I think just having a small pouch like those USB drive carrying cases with a few extra batteries in it would be easier and less bulky than an external battery pack.

4 spare batteries would be 16000 mah + kinda big charging station, I think at that point one or 2 10000 mah external packs would be more convenient and lighter.

I’ve been carrying both pretty much wherever I go for the last six months: one spare L5 battery and one 20,000 mAh power bank.
I almost always end up using the latter. Not having to power down the phone and then boot up again is just too convenient.
In two scenarios, I still find the spare battery useful: when traveling light, e.g. at concerts, and at venues where bringing power banks is forbidden, e.g. at the stadium.

Please Could you let me know how did you insert the battery to recharge it?
I bought it on Amazon reading your post but battery is larger than the max opening of the charger! I can’t insert it!
In fact, if you measure battery it’s 6mm instead the max opening of the charger is 55mm!
Thank you

Even bigger battery than that of Librem5 can fit in this charger.
Bottom / side part is spring loaded, you need to pull it back before battery can slide in.
Contacts can be moved around.
Please see pictures in this post: External battery charger for Librem5 - #77 by librem5
I can take a video if you want to see how it works.

As you can see, battery takes to the end of the charger! I would have to break the sliding carriage in order to place it all in the charger

I wonder if they changed the product:
Here it says 66mm should be ok (same link scroll below)

Right!! It make sense!! Mine is smaller!! 
Sadly, I can’t find it on Amazon Europe. Hope my experience will help L5 European owners to avoid my mistake!

Hi guys , does this charger work well for the librem 5 battery as i have a spare battery and normal battery life is pretty grim for my mobile usage and being able to charge the spare out of phone would be a bonus
it says output 4.35 volt on the correct width charger link in amazon , is this a problem for charging a spare battery designed for 4.2 volt
