My wife and I both have TBolts; mine is rooted and hers isn't. She had been complaining about random shut downs and battery drainage for a while, and I just blew it off, until yesterday, when I saw it happen and offered to swap out batteries. Things were fine for a few hours, then I opened the camera app and clicked the shutter, and the Bolt instantly rebooted, and when it did, it reported that it was at 10% battery, which I thought was odd but didn't remember what it was at before, other than I didn't think it was nearly empty. Just now, the battery was at about 80%, I opened an app, and the screen went black: it didn't reboot, just turned off. I restarted the phone, and the battery reported itself at 3%.
After that, I put it on charge, where it sat at 10% for a half hour, then suddenly shot up to 100%. The battery isn't bulging, but it must be defective?
