Bottom line, it does what it's advertised to do and that is charge my spare battery. I do love the compact size but having a stylus holder does not make much sense to me since I keep mine in my Treo. Maybe they were creating the eyes for the mouse-like appearance. Remove the battery can be a difficult task because the battery fits very tightly in place taking me about three tries on average to remove it from the charger. Having fingernails may be a requirement. With a full day of charging the battery is cool to the touch which was very surprising to me. I was sure before I had purchased it that the charger would create too much heat for the battery. I have not yet tested to see how long it takes to charge a battery. I am very satisfied with it and have not found any other chargers that have the same compact and stylish design.

Not good ....
User: Mako Mako, Dec 23, 2006
It's a good idea to be able to charge your extra battery but the device doesn't seem to work well. I've tried charging my extra battery and Seidio charger only charges up to 90%... I've left it charging over night but it only charges up to 90%. Also, the battery is hard to take out. Everytime I take it out my finger hurts... Not recommended.

Seido Portable Battery Charger
User: Daniel Schwarze, Feb 22, 2007
Pros:
Good Back up charger
Cons:
Chg light os a power light, Can Not charge Seidio 3200 battery, No Done Charging lite
It does what it is suppose to do. USB port charger about the same speed as other USB chargers, somewhat slow. The Seidio 3200 battery fits but will not take a charge, but the extended life Seidio 2400 does. The charge lite really functions as a power on light, or is mine defective? There is no lite to indicate battery is fully charged.

I love this product.
User: Lee Solomon, Jan 29, 2007
I purchased it with the 2400 extended life battery from Seidio and they are a match made in heaven. The battery does fit snugly into the charger but this is great because I throw mine in my bag and plug it into my pc at work and the battery never falls out in transit. I figured out what the stylus hole is for. You need the stylus to flip the battery out of there without killing your manicure. Much value for the price.
