There's a lot of talk in the upgrades section about how important it is to recalibrate your battery after flashing a new kernel. I'm thinking this would help anyone even if you haven't flashed anything recently. Its pretty simple. Requires root and Clockworkmod custom recovery. Boot into Clockwork, go to advanced> wipe battery stats>yes. Then charge your battery to 100%, run it all the way down to 0%, and then leave it on and charge it back up to 100%. Your battery is now calibrated and it should improve battery life.
Wow! I did the "wipe battery" around Monday morning, then put the phone on the charger. Few hours later it was 100% charged and until today Wednesday 1AM it hasn't drained, still at about 40%. Still waiting for it to drain 0% and charge it up 100% to see what battery life I have then.
