After receiving my Seidio multi-function battery charger and spare battery and doing a bit of testing, here is a little review/data for anyone interested.
The actual charger isn't too big. It comes in two pieces (the main charger and the charging plate to fit the HTC Thunderbolt battery). After charging multiple batteries consistently the charger doesn't feel warm in the least bit.
My main goal though was to see how the charge time was. Here is some data:
Battery when charging began: 63%
Time elapsed: 1h 55m
Battery after elapsed time: 95%
+1%/~every 3.6 minutes
Battery when charging began: 74%
Time elapsed: 1h 35m
Battery after elapsed time: 96%
+1%/~every 4.3 minutes
Battery when charging began: 76%
Time elapsed: 1h 35m
Battery after elapsed time: 94%
+1%/~every 5.3 minutes
With the stock charger I get +1%/~every 1.3 minutes.
So overall it takes a good bit of time for the charger to charge the battery, but due to its size and cheap price I'm going to hold on to it. I'd much rather charge two batteries overnight then go the following day with swapping them rather than using the HTC extended battery.
And here are some pictures:
