My experience mirrors sauls.
I have the double pack with the external charger but always charge in phone.
Takes about 3 full cycles to get full performance and the first 10 - 15 % seem to drain much quicker but in long run way outlast the stock battery for me.
Currently:
Mt3gs - cm6-rc2
nexus on - rod style
vibrant - stock
hd2 - elegancia/android 2.2. matt froyo senseless
Past:
MyTouch Merlot CM5 - T-Mobile G1 Cyanogen CM5
iPhone 2g 3.1.3 16gb - Blackberry 8900
iPhone 2g 3.1.2 8gb - Nokia N95 8gb generic
BlackBerry 8320 4.5 - T-Mobile Wing WM 6.5
BlackBerry 8100 4.5

This one says 3.7v and the stock battery is 3.8v....wonder if that will cause some issues. I think ill wait till they make one with the same volts.

It doesnt cause any issue except for maybe the fact that it seems to discharge quickly initially. The anker batteries was labeled to have a limit voltage of 4.2V which it reaches when its fully charged. It's possible that a 3.8V extended battery might give a better life but the 3.7V doesn't seem to have issues and they hold their charge pretty well.
