"Sleep" is exactly what the mode is for - so you don't have to keep powering off !
And the only thing that "keeps running" is the Sleep mode.
Powering on and off soon wrecks/ages the battery.
And don't charge until at least 2 bars to go, one is better, and use a wall charger. And don't worry too much about stopping it at the crack of dawn - you can't overcharge these batteries.
This way you do actually improve the holding capacity and performance.
On the other hand, it is possible for a computer to throw a wobbly and actually discharge A battery, and then it's Goodnight Irene.....

I have never powered it off before, but always left it in the sleep mode.
It haven't discharged that fast.
If there is no solution and the book will continue to discharge so, I'll probably have no choice but to root it and recalibrate.
