Hi all,
I heard on another forum that the 1620 mAh battery from the HTC Rezound fits in our Thunderbolts, so I thought I would order it and give it a shot:

I received it a couple days ago and it fit perfectly in my Thunderbolt. Before trying out the new battery, I fully charged it and did a battery calibration. I am running Slayer's 10/2 build of CM7, with Imoseyon's 5.0.3 AOSP kernel set at a max of 1.2 ghz, a min of 245 mhz, and the smartassv2 governor.
Yesterday, I managed just under 16 hours of usage in a 4G LTE area. At times, the reception wasn't the greatest, either. My usage consisted of about 2.5 hours of web browsing, 30 minutes of navigation, about 30 minutes worth of phone calls, and random checking / responding to e-mails and text messages all day. On the stock 1400 mAh battery, I would be lucky to get about 12-14 hours under similar usage.
The 1620 mAh battery has about 15.7% more capacity than the stock 1400 mAh battery. Also, since I bought my Thunderbolt on launch day (3/17/11), the stock battery was probably a little tired after 9 months of heavy usage. So, to the extent my battery life improvement was beyond 15.7%, that extra improvement can be attributed to replacing the old battery with a new one.
So, although the above is hardly scientific, the 1620 mAh HTC Rezound battery really helped my battery life. It worked way better than the crap Seidio stock-sized extra capacity battery that I tried and returned several months ago.
