I can only say, I always do the old school method of charging my Pre when possible, and I have had much better battery life than others report... Granted, the webOS updates have made significant improvements along the journey... I know what the specs say on these type of batteries, but field testing is showing other results... I don't think it has anything to do with the sensors, because turning it back on after it dies results in it's still dead... haha
The webOS homebrew 2.1 update made a big difference...
