So the batteries and charger arrived. They came in individual antistatic bags. The wall charger came in it's own little box. The batteries say that they are replacements for the HTC Touch Pro 2, but the Hero shares it's battery with the Touch Pro 2. I put one of the batteries in just to test it. The battery was 75% charged. It reported it's charge perfectly fine. It charged perfectly fine while in the phone and the other battery charged quite well in the wall charger. The wall charger also has a usb port so you can charge your phone and a battery at the same time. For $11.49, (including shipping), You can't beat this package. I highly recommend it. I have yet to try charging the original HTC battery in the charger, but I'll update this post as soon as I do.
