Have you checked what is running and consuming CPU cycles using Conky or Top?

Previously my battery would drop 1/3 of its charge in less than an hour for no reason. I was getting about 12-15 hours a day when I reflashed first using the eMMC image then with the latest firmware. I am now getting up to 36 hours; and even after Battery Graph was at 0% I still got another 5 hours before the phone started beeping. It's made a huge difference, so might be worth a try.

The other thing is does the phone shut down when Battery Graph gets to 0% or is this when you plug it in and recharge? Prehaps if you let the phone go completely flat it may reset the battery charge varibles and battery charge levels may get displayed differently.

Good luck.
