If my phone reboots half way through the discharge process do I need to recharge back to 100% and do it all over again or continue to let it die and then fully charge it

let it charge over night then go to the market and look for battery calibrator and do what it says. that should fix it

Or, instead of an app, he can do it from bootstrap recovery.
Charge battery to 100%
Keep plugged in & go to bootstrap recovery app
Go to Recovery Mode
Once in Recovery, Go to Advanced
Clear Battery Stats
Unplug phone from power
Reboot via recovery
Let battery drain to 5-10%
Charge to fully 100% plus 30 minutes
Your battery is calibrated!

I was only providing a way without an app. I wasn't comparing difficulty
But technically, it would take more button presses to go to the Market, type in the app's name, then select download, agree & install, and then open the calibration app and click the button then it would to go into BSR.
You guys are bring helpful, but I already knew how to do both, im asking if I was already doing that and it restarts half way through me trying to get it down to 5-10% ,what do I do

Any one have any luck with getting a correct battery read out for a non-moto battery (aka any [real] extended battery)? And by correct battery read out I mean in the status bar, not from another program or widget.

So what exactly is the correct way to recondition your battery after installing a new rom? I have been following the Bionix version of recondition below
1. Charge phone completely, leave plugged into power
2. Boot into recovery
3. Wipe battery stats
4. Reboot
5. Remove power cable
6. Drain that sucker all the way
7. Recharge fully
But i see there is some discussion on the proper way, and this one ruining your battery life. What is the actual correct way then?
That's the method I used a few weeks ago. Can't say there was any noticeable improvement, but I've never read that it was the wrong way....

So in all essence... Dont do it! Haha then what is the point of wipe battery stats? Should i still at least wipe it at 100 percent after its charged, and then just use it normally.

The "point" of it is just to get the software to know the upper and lower limits of the battery to it can more accurately determine its current level. It learns the battery level and becomes more accurate over time, but many here flash new ROMs too frequently for it to get the chance. Just use your phone and don't worry about the battery, you will be fine. Leave it on all the time, even at night. Charge it when ever you are idle for any length of time and over night. You can not over charge it and it does not have a memory, but you can certainly shorten its lifespan by deep cycling it. If you think the battery meter is really way off what it should be then clear it first thing in the morning after it has been charging. Also, don't be surprised if you rarely or never see 100%. This is the normal way the charger keeps heat buildup from killing the battery. 97% to 99% after a charge is fine.
Thanks T313C0mun1s7, that's the most sensible advice about the battery I've read in awhile.
So the last couple of days I've been trying to cycle my battery to see if I can get some more use out of it and I have noticed a strange problem. When I drain the battery completely it will automatically turn off but when I plug the charger in and turn the phone back on it will show that it have anywhere from 20-30% usable battery life remaining. Any ideas what is going on?
Let it die after it says 30%.
unplug charger and let it die.
DIE DIE DIE!!!!
Then you can wipe battery stats.

^^After it dies, turn it back on and let it die again... and again... and again until it won't do ANYTHING. Then you can recondition it.

how do you wipe the battery stats if you're stock? I know theres the option in clockworkmod, but i dont have that on my vibrant at the moment.
Are you rooted? Just download rom manager and use the flash cwm option. Afterwards, boot to stock recovery and select reinstall packages to get into cwm.

i am (check the sig) but you need a modified 3e recovery in order for cwm to stick if you're on official KA6 and I'm being a chicken right now (the phone is working great for the first time in a while, minus the battery life and im not ready to mess anything up)
JUST ROOT IT! Its the best you can do with an android phone trust me just downgrade it back to 2.1 with odin and root from there. There's almost no way you could brick your phone. But its okay if you don't because I was chicken until this 2.2 upgrade came and I've already bricked once but fixed it with odin. But trust me once you root you'll never regret that's how I felt about my mytouch 3g 1.2, cliq, mytouch slide, and vibrant.

One of the functions of the battery stats file is to help the phone decide when your battery is nearly dead. This lets the phone perform a clean shutdown instead of just losing power and dying.
If I were you, I'd charge the phone fully, wipe the battery stats file, use it normally without charging until it ran down completely to power-off, then recharge it -- and maybe let it run down completely one more time at least.
It could be that something about your usage patterns makes the phone "expect" the battery to die sooner than it really does, or maybe the 20% reading upon power-up is incorrect and the phone actually runs out of juice faster than the phone expects.
Either way, resetting your battery stats is probably the best fix.
I flashed to the newest release of the Cyanogenmod beta two nights ago and my phone won't charge the battery to a full 100%... I've seen other people post this problem as well. Theirs may stay at like 60%, I saw one person post it won't charge past 19%, etc.
I don't want to flash the ROM again right now, so does anyone know any other fixes?
did you flash cm7 with a full battery? try letting the battery drain to the point that it wont turn on before charging. did you try deleting batterystats in recovery?

That was me who had the 60% battery problem. Here's how I fixed it.
1. Take the battery out of your phone
2. Plug your AC charger into the phone and wait until it gives you the missing battery icon.
3. Plug in your battery
4. Charge for 6 hours
5. Check on it again (it will probably still say 75% for you)
6. Reboot into recovery and wipe battery stats.
7. Viola you have a fully charged battery now.

Lol same thing happening to me too. This time with Darkside 2.5.1.

Download BatteryCalibration from the android market and follow these steps:
1. Load the App.
2. Plug your phone on charge
3. Wait till your battery gets to its max whether it be 70% or wherever it stops.
4. Uncheck the option "calibrate when reaches 100%"
5. Click on Calibrate.
6. Click on Calibrate again (just for good measure) and if it says something like your phone is not supported or battery.dat is missing, then it means you did a good job.
7. Unplug your phone.
8 Drain your battery till 0% literally. (Switch wifi, gps, H+ on while playing Shadowgun....worked for me).
9. When your battery is dead, charge it again and it should reach 100%.
Did you wipe battery stats after the charge?

you can try jug6ernaut's battery fix it might not work since its not a jumping issue but it's the same in that it is not reporting the correct battery amount left

This worked for me, I might have to do it again or something though because now it stays at 96%, much better though. Thanks
About to give this a shot myself. My phone stayed stuck ~82%... couldn't figure out what the hell I messed up on it!
I think as a reminder/heads up, there should be a note on the different ROM threads OP's to tell people they should recalibrate their batteries after flashing a ROM... I had no idea.
Cheers!
Edit: works!

Any help would be great to fix it.

Boot into recovery, then go to advanced and reset battery stats, then reboot. Use your phone until the battery dies then fully recharge. If this doesn't fix the issue, you may have a bad battery.

Have you Tried to Recalibrate the Battery?
Sometimes the phone battery monitoring gets out of sync and the remedy is to recalibrate the battery.
You can either try one of the available apps in the Android Market or you can do some manual steps available online(just search for Android Battery Recalibration).
Here is one example, scroll down to Battery Calibration section: http://www.darkyrom.com/community/index.php?threads/guide-battery-life.2551/
I tried wiping the battery stats and calibrating as well but what worked for me was:
1. Charge for at least 4 hours to ensure a full charge
2. Unplug, turn off, and then pull the battery
3. While battery is out, plug charger back in and wait for the battery icon with the question mark.
4. Reinsert the battery (results will vary here, mine comes up as 5% for some reason)
5. Unplug the charger and then plug it back in, it should show as 100% now
6. Turn on while plugged in, wait until fully booted and then unplug from charger (it should read as 100% or 99%, depending on how your battery gauge works)
This is just what worked for me, I am running Navalynt's pi-crust (based on AT&T 4.5.91) so please be careful and research if there would be any issues with other ROMs

Im unlocked rooted running wetdream. Ever since installing it, the battery indicator wont show charge beyond 95%. When charging with phone off, it reaches 100% but as soon as I power on, it only shows 95%. I've done battery cal app, let die completely twice, charge overnight, pull battery while still plugged in (which I never got missing battery notice for) and wiped battery stats in recovery. Is this something I just need to learn to live with or anyone have any other ideas? Btw, im loving nottachs wetdream rom. I know this has been posted elsewhere, I've tried all those tips. Just wondering if there are any new tried tips I can look into. Tia

No need of any app. Just drain the battery till it powers off. Full charge without switching it on. Should get the 100% bck.

I never had this on stock, but with the 10% changes in battery, would I have noticed.
When you are installing custom ROM, this is expected. You can try this,
Steps:
1. Drain your battery till gets shut off, then charge it till it says "Fully Charged" irrespective of 95% or 100%.
2. Once charged, Reboot the phone in recovery mode, keep the phone plugged into charger
3. Start it in Recovery mode using CMW, then remove battery stats
4. Switch off the phone
5. It show battery icon with %, with plugged in remove the battery
6. it will show missing battery icon, then insert the battery.. it will show 5% or 20%
7. Charge it for 3-4 hrs, then reboot the phone, you will see 100%
This Fixed for me...
Hi I've been using Neutrino for weeks and have not been able to get past 97pc battery using all techniques on xda. I finally fixed it yesterday when I installed clamsysns 1.5 kernel and charged over night and it was back to 100.

Just an update. I installed the newest version of wetdream yesterday. Got it to charge to 100% then thru resetting up phone and such, dropped to 18%. Recharged but didn't make it to 100% this time. Got to 95% but 4200mv, so I assumed full charge. At that time it was bedtime, so decided to just plug back into charger for the night. This morning it read 100% again. So its basically getting its full charge, just not showing all the time. A glitch I guess ill have to live with.
