Help Droid X Battery Drainage Problems

I recently bought a new battery to replace the original battery that came with my Droid X. The original battery just deteriorated over time and it is no longer functional now. However, I noticed a few problems with it. First of all, I noticed that it rarely charges to 100% with the phone on. It would drain down to 70%, stay there for a while, and then continue to drain from there even with little to no usage of the phone. Second of all, the battery would drain while my phone was still on the charger. I don't understand how the battery would discharge instead of recharging while my phone was still on the charger. Third of all, when I turn my phone off the battery always charges to 100%. I don't understand why it can't do this with the phone on. Is there anyone else who owns a Droid X who has had these battery problems? I read something on the internet that doing a factory reset on the phone would correct the battery drainage problem. But I don't know how true that is. This battery drainage is really getting on my nerves. Please help!
 
Android learns how your battery charges and discharges, so that memory needs to be reset so it can relearn. There's an app in the market that can do it, but I think it requires root.

The app is called Battery Calibration by NeMa and it does require root.

Its odd that your dx has to relearn a new battery, I never had that issue...

Actually, it's stranger that you didn't need to relearn (probably not different enough to notice). If all batteries behaved the same, there would never be a need to calibrate.
