I have yet to find an acceptable % battery indicator. They all seem too far off. Especially with a couple 2 or 3 running side by side.

I have uninstalled all of my battery indicators for now. I know that when I get down to 15% (according to the OS) I'll get a warning.. When it's down to 5% my indicator will begin to flash. beyond that, when it's 100% I get the 'unplug charger' warning..

For now, I don't care. With Juice defender though, my battery performance is phenomenal FWIW... I unplugged it at 6:30 this morning and I'll wait until I get down to the 15% message and let you guys know. Normally, I charge it overnight for good measure but I'm gonna use it down to 15% just to see..

FWIW it took forever to get juice defender setup well enough for me to use my phone as I want to without noticing any performance difference..

ALSO.. make sure you guys are using ultimate juice w/ juice defender. It gives defender more options and versatility. I am using both. Ultimate juice is a paid app in the market.

If you want, I'd be more than happy to share the settings that I'm using w/ juice defender.

Hope this helps

EDIT: IMO.. I think the battery % indicator/monitors poll the battery too much and prevent the phone from sleeping, thus contributing to the adverse drainage. This is speculation and based on nothing more than a hunch. Could be wrong, but that's my opinion so I choose not to use one for now...
