I received my batteries and charger from China. Unfortunately, they don't fit as they come. Good news is, they are easily modified to fit with a little sanding/filing.
Here's one of the batteries, the charger, and the stock grey battery for comparison:
Here's a closeup of the labels on the battery and charger:
Here are some side by side size comparisons.
The stock battery may look a bit larger, but that's an optical illusion caused by the replacement battery being black vs the stock's grey color.
The stock battery has a round edge on the sides that matches the rounding of the case. These replacement batteries are squared, and that is the issue that keeps them from fitting. Easily solved by removing the label, and sanding the edges of the plastic frame to round them off like the stock battery. I am using them now, without the labels, and they work fine.
You can get the battery cover to stay on by just removing the label, since it is very thick, but you still have a small seam down both sides of your phone unless you sand the edges down.
The charger seems to work fine for recharging the batteries, including the stock one. I have not tried the USB port on the charger yet, but if I have any issues with it, I will report them here.
Here's the listing on Ebay, for $10 I think it's a great deal even if you do have to sand it a bit.

If you can find batteries with rounded edges, buy them and save yourself the sanding.
