Second day with the battery. I ran it down today to the point where it shut off and wouldn't turn on. I charged it with the phone off for about 30 minutes and turned it back on. The charge was 54%. Did it really charge that fast?

I just checked mine and it shows that over the last 20 minutes mine has gone from 1-99% & that's just ridiculous.
Also it seems that even after 2.5 hours of charging with the phone off (first two times with the anker) it still doesn't turn the led to green

Same issue..
I have the same issue...ran Anker battery down and recharged for 5 minutes, battery widget showed 54% charge, the System Returned charge was like 5% so there is an obvious disconnect there. I get a green light if I charge for 3+ hours, just left it charging at work. Until we get the Sensation rooted and can reset the battery stats, this probably will remain an issue.
I guess you can temp root it and reset the battery stats but I'll wait for perm root.
I read somewhere in this forum that you have to configure the phone to somedegree to show the correct battery status, no idea how though

My Anker should be here in a few days. As you suggested, you guys just might need to reset the battery stats. So you'll know, I used a battery calibration tool and it worked great under temp root. With stock battery, my % would spike pretty quick one way or another....it did help give me more steady readings. No worries there....
I have a similar issue with the stock battery, if I'm charging and I restart it the battery % jumps.
Just charged up my new anker yesterday for about 9 hours. Popped it in this morning. I will do three full overnight charges and full dicharges and report back. My chichitec got the same conditioning and its lasting about 25 hours for me. We will see. Got this thing for 9.50 so it won't be the end of the world. Seems good so far. At 99% and had it off the charger for three hours. Phone call and some email and xda.
Once we get root ill be wiping the battery stats for sure though.

Use battery calibration app it wipes stats.

care to walk me through how to do this (not the temp root) so I can reset my battery stats?
I'm having this issue with my Chichitech battery. There's no damn way it's at 99% after letting it charge from 0% 3 hours ago.
I was getting decent battery life until I decided to calibrate my battery. I charged til 100, bumped charge, went into recovery and wiped stats, drained phone til shutdown, charged battery til 100 while off. Almost a minute later I went from 100 to 98. My thunderbolt used to do that but never on this phone. I've been unplugged for approximately 16 minutes and I'm already down to 95.
I'm on wifi, good signal (81db) , not overclocked, removed google plus. Etc
Any tips?

My phone was reduced from 100 to 82 in just around 6 hours. I had data/wifi turned off as well. Is anyone else experiencing this?

Nope. With data/wifi turned on (data auto-off since Wifi is active), I lose at most 2% overnight. With airplane mode on OR data/wifi off, you should be seeing practically 0% loss.
Check your battery usage and see what's eating up the battery. Sounds like an rogue app/process that's wasting cycles or is out of control.
One of the best things about this phone is its standby life, as it seems to sip battery juice very lightly.
My battery was still 100% after I woke up today.
Nevertheless it dropped very quickly after using the phone, about 11% in 10-15 min but I assume that's completely normal after 8 hours standby.
I have a live wallpaper but it shouldn't work when is screen off. I also have setcpu set so that is practically doing nothing when the screen is off. The live wallpaper cost only 2% of my battery but standby showed 20%. I have no idea why it uses much in standby...

That means that of the whatever % battery (out of 100%) that you've used, 20% of that drain was due to standby. That's not necessarily bad. So if you have 50% charge left, then it means that (50% x .2)% of your drain was from standby. My cell standby has currently used 23% of my current drain percentage. Since your phone is often left in the sleep/not-active state, then a large % of battery drain happens in standby.
Battery usage on Android is frequently misunderstood. And keep in mind that the 2% from the LWP you used is because it's only displayed when you're on the home screen. Otherwise, it remains dormant/paused.
that's strange that you are having that much usage in standby.. i have been getting a solid day and a half out of my battery and it doesnt really use any battery in standby.. there has to be an app of some sort that is sucking the battery or still running.. i always at bedtime though clear the cache thru storage in the settings menu and end all tasks in the task manager and close all the windows/programs with the far right virtual button on the bottom of the screen.. I am a bit OCD but heck if its working why stop..lol
Area with poor cell reception? If you were in plane mode it is an app for sure.

My battery stayed the same overnight. That is with a x2 battery saver which switches off data when the phone is not used and only allows it as special intervals. I have set at 10mins intervals though which is not a huge saver.
I'm doing a test from yesterday to see how long the phone will last with my use. So far from last night im at 39% and when I first turned the phone on it was at 47% from yesterday.

I would have to agree with everyone else. I only experience 1% loss at most times overnight. Best standby battery life i've ever gotten on a HTC phone.
I actually have full bars at home so I don't think that's why. Maybe it's because it's a new battery so I'll try charging it a couple more cycles.
Lost 8% tonight (86/78). Saw this morning that the signal was not perfect. But wifi went off during the night. That should not happen. Maybe my custom rom is switching off wifi on sleep...

It's either a faulty battery or a rogue app. Shouldn't happen to a new battery either.

Use better battery stats to diagnose rogue apps.

Right.
Battery lasted up to 2:30pm being off the plug from 7 am the previous morning. So a total of 31hours.
That is with tapatalk, a bit of web browsing, a bit of WiFi and google store updating, 2 short phone calls.
The app. 2x was running on mild battery saving,mainly by cutting the data periodically when the phone is idling.
I must say that this is really good and the phone took quite a while to go from 15% to 4% after which it switched off before I noticed it again.

My battery has been acting funny lately. Some nights I go to bed with the battery at 100% and when I wake up it's still at 100%. Other nights it loses 10-15% (in about 9 hours). I don't have anything running in the background that I'm aware of that would cause such a discrepancy. A couple nights ago the battery lost 10-12% overnight with the phone turned off! Still the phone was apparently awake all night. How is that possible?
I'm too lazy right now to post a screenshot since xda only accepts urls.
The same here after flashing a new custom rom.
After turning on the phone and making this screenshot percentage immediately went down for 10 to 15 %.
You can check things like that pretty good with apps like Battery Monitor Widget.
Did both of you try to recalibrate the battery?
Do a full cycle charge to 100% use it till 10% then wipe battery stats and charge phone to 100 again

Why would you only go down to 10? Might as well drain the battery completely. It's not going to damage anything unless you let it sit around dead for weeks, possibly even months.
It's never good to completely drain a lion battery

Actually, for a proper cell calibration, it is best to drain the battery completely. Many agree and I have never heard a dev say that draining it dead hurts the battery. It is essential for each cell to be empty in order to properly and fully charge a li-ion battery (without this, % figures will be non-calibrated over time). Just like it is of good practice to let the device charge and extra hour or so once the indicator light turns green (to ensure 100% after trickle mode).
Rule 1: Battery calibration does absolutely nothing. Deleting battery stats will never, ever do a single thing to help your phone's battery calibration.
Rule 2: Standby drain is almost always because of partial wakelock or kernel wakelock. Install Betterbatterystats to figure out what the issue is.
Rule 3: If your phone is in a good reception area and still experiences heavy standby drain, charge the phone until it reaches max voltage (4.2 or 4.3), then use it until it shuts off, then go to hboot until it shuts off, then charge to full again, preferably with the phone off. Wait about an hour after you first see the green light to turn it on.
After that, enjoy. If you still have issues, I would suggest backing up everything and attempting an ruu flash with the battery at 100%.
I failed to mention it, but I haven't rooted or installed a custom rom.
I'll try better battery stats to see what I can find out with that.
Since I've gotten my Moto G is December, I've never had any problems with it at all.
However, today I left home for school, leaving my battery on 52%. I turned off WiFi so that during the day the battery won't go down too much.
However when I came home, my phone was off, as apparently, it had drained all the way from 52% - 0% in a matter of hours while on standby.
I started to charge it at around 3:30 pm.

Now the battery has made a huge jump from 40 something to full..

Normal for the G. A ton of users have had it happen and their are at least a couple of other threads here about this behavior. There is no known solution as far as I can tell.
does anybody notice that when moto g is 100% & shows charged on the lock screen but if you were to go to native battery stats page you will still see 100% - Charging (AC) instead of 100% - Full?
mine shows 100% - Charging (AC) while on lock screen it says Charged
my N7 2012 shows 100% - Full
any ideas?
thanks

Got the same issue mate! Are you running stock KK aswell? Back when I had JB it'd charge fine to a true 100%, it simply doesn't anymore. Can also notice that problem when reviewing the charge through DU Battery Saver, for instance - it doesn't load the slow charge.
Pretty much experiencing a sudden drain from 100 to 98% in less then 10 minutes.
Do you habe Skype installed? That's a huge battery drainer. Removing it pretty much revived my battery.

Me? No I don't, actually performed a factory reset and wiped cache - the battery ain't calibrated to fully charge to the true 100% yet I guess but the drain is a lot better. As of right now I am on 1d 23h with 3h SOT, about 93% deep sleep and 49% battery left.

If you want to use Skype use version 2.8
So everyone happy that a factory reset and error cache fixes the slow battery drain ?
