The board members ended up doing several tests and discovered that the seidio batteries that were rated 200mwh higher than the stock batteries were actually providing LESS battery life when compared to the stock batteries.

.

That is EXACTLY what I found with the seidio 1500 TouchPro batteries & I tested them extensively.

I have four of those batts & while they seem to be very nice quality, they don't give 5 minutes extra talk time over the stock HTC battery.

I just bought two really cheap ebay batteries & one extra HTC battery from Verizon ($29 with a coupon) for my TP2. That is considerably cheaper than the stock size seidio & will work just fine.

Just make sure the type of reporting you're listening to isn't "oooh. this battery lasts so long!".... you should at least look for some kind of test. 50$ is a lot of money to be throwing away at something pointless.
