Just thought I would pass this along...

First battery would completely discharge after about 8 hours of very light use, second one was the same. Both times Verizon was very helpful and swapped out the battery. The interesting thing was that both times they tested the battery and said it was running too high a voltage. The second time i asked and was told it should be running between 3v and 4v , but mine was above 5v. So if you're having issues, and have a multi-tester, you might wanna check it. It should help diagnose whether it's a hardware or software issue.
 
my new one lasted about 4 hours today, first charge.. 4 hours, second charge and now I am in the 3rd hour of the third charge and its still at 80%. I have used it more this third charge... First charge was reading daily Bible Verse, 2 phone calls about 10 and 20 mins. call to CS to check damage phone return policy 30 mins, a few mins of news blogs... I hope it just thought it was charged. the first two goes
