Tip: How to fix your Android’s battery issues (rooted devices) | Google Android Blog
I'm about 6 hours in to draining my battery, and 72% charged (I didn't try to quickly drain it). This may be the best tip ever!

Here are the steps, in case the link ever breaks:

1. Power off your phone and charge it until the indicator turns green.
2. Boot to recovery mode and go to console (or adb shell) and type:
mount -a [enter]
rm /data/system/batterystats.bin [enter]
3. Reboot the phone and run it until it shuts off by itself. (TIP: Turn your screen brightness all the way up and change the Screen Timeout setting to “Never timeout.” This will drain your battery very quickly.)
4. Recharge the phone completely and then use it as you normally would.
