If you did that, then your numbers are reliable. I only ran that test once when I first purchased the PW.

I have noticed now that, waiting for the Recharge screen, I have already gotten 14 days on my current charge versus 7 or 8 when relying on the meter looking low.

I may do one more measurement after the Recharge screen is reached until the following Recharge screen notice. It well could be a longer cycle than I recorded initially.

Its too bad we don't have an Active Content Battery Meter for the PW with similar measurement capabilities to the GSam Battery Monitor for the Kindle Fire HD.
