Not My 650. Bought 23rd Sept 2010.

Battery usage 100% to 25% in 25 - 30 days. charged approximately once a month. Total number of charges since new = 24 (as of 18/07/2012)

I don't let it 'go flat' I always charge it when it gets down to 25% - 1 bar

I put on Standby between reading sessions, and power it off when not likely to use again in the next 2 hours or more, using the power switch.

Not had any problems with it at all. (hardware or software wise) The Battery is still performing as new.
