I've just charged mine from 7% to 100% and it took a shade over 3.15hrs via plug charger.

Did you have the phone On or Off to charge?

guys it was 1h 15mins on htc desire. battery draining time feels same but 3 times more charging time.

Mine was left on when charging, but next to no use when charging. Never turned a phone off to charge.

Samsung chargers usually have an output of 700mA at 5v while HTC's have 1A at 5v meaning HTC's will charge faster.

Charging batteries faster with higher amperage chargers does save time, but the batteries also usually discharge faster and will degrade over a shorter period of time than would be the case when using more "mild" chargers with lower amperage.

If you plan on charging your phones at night while you sleep, choosing the lower amp charger will give you better battery life (and you won't have to worry about the fact that it takes 3 hours to charge).

I remember when the SGS was first announced it was put across strongly by Samsung not to charge the phone overnight.
They said it was wrong to leave the phone connected when fully charged.
I have not heard anything this time for the SGS II.
