There is no regulation on rating your batteries! Don't waste your money. It may be a very high quality battery, and it may add an ever so slight amount of extra battery life, but it sure is expensive.
I posted this in response to another thread about this battery before I saw this one:

I largely agree with the above comments.
The TP1 and Diamond came with 1350/1340 mAh batteries. The Seidio replacement batteries are rated at 1500 mAh. I bought a total of 5 of the Seidio batteries, rotating them along with six of the OE batteries. All of the batteries were charged using Seidio's external chargers.
I observed the battery life on the TP1 and Diamond and found that the Seidio batteries did not offer ANY increase in life whatsoever. In some cases, it was worse.
I did the same with my old Centro, and observed the same. On the other hand, the 2400 mAh Treo 700w/x batteries did offer a noticable improvement over the the OE.
YMMV.
