Does it make me a geek that I read that whole post by FoxKat and found it quite interesting?

Looks like myself and weatherlover1 aren't the only geeks.
At any rate, thank you all for your suggestions on how to drain the battery. Unfortunately (LOL), these methods did not work. So far my total up time since battery charge is 1 day, 6 hours...and I'm still sitting at 40% charge. My screen has been on for 6 hours 44 minutes. I streamed some HD videos over 4G, used my phohe as a 4G hotspot for 2 hours, had my daughter play several games, left the screen on full brightness...all to no avail. This is really funny - I'm having a hard time wearing down the battery! I guess it's a good problem to have.
Anyway, I'm just going to let it slowly run down through the day (and maybe into the next day and the next day). LoL

I don't even own a razr and I just read this whole thread. I learned more about batteries in the past 20 minutes then in the previous 25 years of my life. Just wanted to say thanks for the info

Holly Smokes FoxKat :yeahbaby01:....The second solution will assure the meter is properly calibrated to what is a "FULL" charge for that battery in that point in its life, and when the voltage reaches the threshold for cutoff, the meter will then know what the range is. If you really need to know what the full range is, then a full charge is required, but it MUST be a FULL CHARGE, and that means while the power is OFF. Also a full discharge isn't absolutely necessary, since the charging circuitry already knows what voltage a full discharge is. If after a full charge it says to plug the phone in at 15%, you can be relatively sure it's not at 30%, and also relatively sure its not at 5%. It may be at 20% though not likely, but does it really matter all that much?
Sources for some of the information...Charging Lithium-Ion Batteries and other related articles from the same site.
Sources for other information range from RC sites to Wikipedia, to my own testing *(which I then verify with the above sources)*.
