Yup, already read that. I have a spare, too.

I've checked using HAL. When fully charged, the battery has a mA count close to advertised.

Some are known to eat battery life, uninstall one by one until battery life increases.
Also you're overclocking, have you considered using different voltages.
Stock voltage levels on overclocking will eat battery life.
Try Ideal or LV if using Kernel Power.
Read up on Overclock and Undervolting if you haven't.

With normal usage I only get a day or so (250-600Mhz/LV). You're usage to battery ratio sounds about right.
I am using a modified dsp profile (the original goes to 805 IIRC, mine goes to 950). Didn't care much about voltages since I have smart reflex enabled.

Edit:

Since I created this thread, the battery is now at 17.5%. It has been idling connected to my wifi on maximum power saving.
