Help Battery Calibration

The original battery in my unrooted Bionic was crapping out earlier and earlier in the day over time so I bought a replacement on eBay.

I have run it through several charge/discharge cycles.

The system battery meter shows the new battery falling very quickly to 20, 15, 10, then 5%. Then it will run all day with the battery level reporting 5%.

I also use the Battery Left app, which I also ran through its recalibration cycle. Right now, the system battery meter shows 5%, and Battery Left shows 78%. The battery voltage is 3.409 volts. Battery Left says it has nine and a half hours left before the battery is depleted.

Does that battery voltage seem consistent with the 78% state of charge?

If so, is there a way to make the system battery meter report accurately?

TIA
