Basically as the title states will that mess up the battery stats? i know our phones use a fuel gauge but does going from a larger battery to a smaller and vise versa mess up the stats?
Is there any way to make separate battery stats for each battery?
Over time the battery will calibrate itself but if you are inserting a new battery it is recommended to fully charge then wipe stats.

Could someone explain to me the HOW, WHY, and WHEN you would use this in bootloader?
My battery is sucking hard ever since the latest update of MIUI and i'm hoping this might help if it's used how i think it might be used.
If your battery is losing charge quicker than normal, check if it's the kernel you're using with MIUI and try an alternative. Otherwise, wiping battery stats is like a recalibration to more accurately reflect battery charge. Charge battery to capacity, boot into recovery, wipe batt stats, then reboot, take off charger and run down battery until empty. That should reset your stats.

Should i run it down as quick as possible (ie. Full brightness, playing movie, LED flashlight on, ect...) or run it down with normal use?

Doubt it matters.
Another thing you can do for your battery is a full charge and run down till it dies 3 times. These are "smart" batteries and will reset that and might help you get more from it.
Also remember when flashing a new rom/kernel combo give your phone some time to adjust before judging battery life (maybe 2-3 days).

lithium ion batteries have no memory....

The batteries in these phones have a memory in the form of a charge monitor circuit. Those circuits remember the charge state of the battery and report it to the phone. This is why it is called a "smart" battery because of the chip that holds this data.
Li-Ion batteries do not suffer from traditional "battery memory" by way of crystal growth and the like (such as with NiCd batteries), but the circuit WILL remember the charge state over time due to the fact that it compensates for the voltage output droop which naturally occurs over time.
The procedure I posted previously was recommended to me by the battery manufacturer to extend battery charge over time.
Hiya
So I've got my new battery for the phone today, says it's 1600mAh even tho I doubt it, but as the stock is 1230mAh should I wipe battery stats when I've charged the 1600mAh battery to max or will there be no real difference?
Also, is there an app to see how much mA your battery packages atm, to see how much it is when it's fully charged for instance?
After wiping my battery stats and doing a full discharge and recharge my battery life seems worse. Is this normal
do you have to recalibrate battery stats with the extended battery or does battery stats take a back seat to the fuel gauge chip in the battery? i haven't received mine yet but am very curious.
Just received my extended battery today and wondering this as well. Anyone?
I'm thinking of getting the VZW extended battery and I was wondering about how the phone will handle different sized batteries especially if I'm switching back and forth.
I'm under the impression that the battery indicator shown on the phone is an estimation based off time to charge/discharge the current battery.
So if i get an extended battery, and the battery indicator is estimated off the extended battery discharge rate, would putting the original battery make the phone think it has more power left than it really does?
that is what we are trying to find out. if it automatically picks up the battery through the chip and does it automatically adjust battery stats or do they have to be redone.
Doesn't hurt to just wipe battery stats.. takes a few seconds..

How do you do that?
Boot into Clockwork Mod Recovery -> Advanced -> Wipe Battery Stats.
But be sure that your phone isnt plugged in into the charger, and it should be charged to almost max.

wipe when at 100% or near 4200mV

that one is for a rooted phone, just search for battery and a whole list will show up.

So do we need to wipe anytime we switch batteries once fully charged?

I wouldn't go that far, but install something like Battery Left which lets you keep profiles for more than one battery in case the stock battery meter is a little wonky.
Over the course of months of flashing, I have noticed that my battery life drains really fast. I'm currently running AOKP. I think I calibrated the battery correctly yet I still have terrible battery life. I charged it to 100%, used an app, Battery Calibration, to reset the battery stats, let it drain to 0%, the plugged it back in. The battery said 57% so I charged it back to 100% yet the battery life is still awful. My brightness is at the lowest setting, my WiFi is off, and I am using Greenify to hibernate applications. I've attached pictures of my battery life (from GSam) and pictures of what my software looks like. What is causing the drain? How can I fix it? If anybody can help, I'd be very thankful.
Edit: I have a Hyperion 4200 mAh battery. I replaced the stock battery but it didn't seem to make a difference. The voltage reads at about ~4200 mAh when at 98%.
Edit 2: My battery was at ~60% then I shut it off and plugged it in. It is now at 2%... Should I charge to 100% then reset battery stats?
