Calibrating, to my mind, is primarily so the battery charge indicator is more reliable. Calibrating, AFAIK, won't make any difference in battery life from full charge to complete discharge.
Oh, absolutely. For instance, I was extremely upset when my battery suddenly dropped from 87% (or whatever it was) to 63 and then 61% in a very short time. But now, it's been at 61% for 24 hours. Calibration problem! It's difficult to keep that separate in my mind from "bad battery", as 87 -> 63 in hours feels like bad battery. I'll just need to have some more patience (extra difficult as I'm mistrusting Glo II due to Glo I experience) to find out what this battery is really like.

Since I bought the new Glo I've been leaving it in sleep mode unless I knew it was going to be a few days. Lately, I've left it in sleep mode just to see how the battery holds up. It's been at least 24 hours since I pulled it off the charging cable and it's still at 100%,
Thanks for your elaboration!

Actually no. My previous Glo (the one that really definitely had battery problems) was absolutely un-tweaked. My current Glo, yes, has some tweaks, but I've also not made any conclusions yet about battery bad/goodness.
