Charge it at night, use your phone like normal until it gets to 10% and THEN recharge. Do this for 2 months and you will gradually see that your battery lasts longer by the week until finally you don't even use more than 50% by bed time. I did this when the phone was first released and my batt life was superb after the first month and a half. Did this when the new Verizon stock ROM was released and it took about a month to get to optimal batt usage. Now with the onset of custom ROMs i'm doing the same procedure.
Not sure of the science behind it but for some reason or another, these phones take a month or so to get to optimum battery usage after a ROM flash.

I for one could not do this. I am not always at my home or a desk desk the following day when I get down to 10% so that I can plug in. Which means I have to charge each night. On the weekends I only consume 20-30% per day so I pull of the charger on Saturday morning and then plug in on Sunday.
And I have not experienced any quirks of battery behavior with the custom ROMs. I have tried almost all of the published ROMs and cooked a few with the kitchens.
