Root Odd battery life

Last night I had my phone on the charger. This morning it had the green light signifying that it had a full charge so I took it off the charger and set it down. Picked it up to make a phone call about 10 minutes later. Call went to voice mail so not a long call at all. Hung up and looked at the battery status and it was at 53%. checked a voice mail (about 6 second voice mail) and now it's at 40%.
Reboot the phone and now I'm at 8% battery. All this within 20 minutes of pulling off the charger.
Better battery stats didn't give me any clue on why this was. Could it be the battery is finally done or something with the phone? Any fixes I can do? I just need it to last till monday night when I trade it in for an Optimus G.

Odd that BetterBatteryStats didn't show anything for battery consumption from unplug thru your phone call and voice mail check.
And the reboot probably cleared out the stats...
Did you see it was at 100% when the green light was on?
It could be your battery, but since you are not keeping it, think you can make it last til Monday?
