That's right, I mentioned this a while back.

The battery indicator seems to drop quickly when first taken off a charger, like the reading between 100%-90% is not really accurate. But over time, during the course of a day I've found the battery life is good and the battery life meter does better once things are below 90%. (Yes I know it's been mentioned at various times even with other ROMs, that the battery meter is usually inaccurate when over 90%, but this ROM's seems to be more wacky when over 90% than others.)

I'm usually near chargers all the time, but this past week I was in situations where I was away from chargers for 8-12 hours at a time and every day by the time I reached a charger I was still above 50% battery life.
Don't let the "oh I went from 100 down to 90% fast" experience fool you. Use it for a full day and see how it compares with other ROMs by the end of the day.
