Boggling Battery

Last night I used my phone quite a bit...downloaded a few apps, including messing with the Mario Live wallpaper.

Anyways, after about 6 1/2 hours I went from 100% to 20%.

Now...same 20% in the Settings>Battery bar, but instead of being green it's orange. But it's been unplugged for 20hr.

So in the first 6 1/2 hours i went from 100% to 20% and now in the last 14 hours it's only gone down...nothing according to the bar. The Battery Info tab shows 15% charge but still...14 hours of mostly standby and it's only gone down 5-10% maybe?

I have probably read 20 emails, sent 30 text's in the last 14 hours. So i guess that's light usage, considering i slept for 8 of those 14 hours.

Just weird to have it drop 80% in 6 hours than next to nothing for 14 hours.

Anyone else notice this after the update? Is the phone just learning the battery cycle after the update maybe?
