You're right - sorry. The seller's info is a bit misleading. It says "In
about 10 minutes this charger gives you MORE CHARGE with LESS HEAT than your
overnight wall-wart charger!"  (quoted as is, with caps). When reading it
carefully, - it doesn't say that it charges the battery in 10 minutes. What
a pitch... I've seen el-cheapo chargers with currents 50mA, i.e. 24 hours to
charge a 1200 mAH battery.  Of course, Sirius provides more charge in less
time than $2 chinese toys...
