HTC Desire Battery instantly drops once unplugged

    I've been having a problem for a while with my HTC Desire.
    I've noticed that about 20-40% of the times when I unplug my phone from charging that the battery is already depleted some 2-5%.
    I just unplugged my phone which had been charging for 5-7 hours today (was plugged in with 40% left) and the battery with the charger plugged in said 100% and the instant I removed the charger, it dropped to 95%.
    Anyone else experiencing this?
    I find when this happens, I tend to get a terrible run of the battery and it runs down WAYY quicker if this happens when I unplug it. More than normal, anyway.
    I'm running LeeDroid 2.3b, but I dont think that it has too much of an influence as it has been happening for months, even before I installed this ROM.
    Can anyone confirm that it happens to them too? Maybe see after a full charge/overnight.

    Try this, supposed to work wonders, haven't done it myself yet as I've never bothered.

    Thanks for those two links lads. Reading through the phandroid article now. Interesting read so far. Might explain a lot of what I'm experiencing.
