Seems I'm not the only one who doesn't fully know yet whether it is a high drain of amps, or just a wonky battery.
With a 1 year old battery I'm inclined to look at the drain before looking at the battery. Although I have been told that when a battery gets to low, it can severly damage the internals. According to some, letting it go empty to much for a few times can decrease the power to 50%. But I haven't got enough knowledge to know if thats true.
