yes reboots and restores or anything in cwm really drains battery!! don't know why except for has to really work to do what you are asking to do.

Yeah. I mainly see the drain I. CWM.
I could have a 50% charge and end with 10% in 15 min.
CWM drains it yes.
But does being In CWM affect battery performance as well?
Wear n tear kinda deal

I wouldn't think so. If you getting bad battery life I would cycle the battery. Let it run completely down til it cuts off and then charge it all the way. Do that a couple of times and I guarantee you'll see better results.

Been trying many times bro.
But I can't ever keep up the full drain and full charge cycling.

CWM also doesn't have any low battery shutdown "protection"
Hence why I'll use CWM for cycling my battery. Once the phone shuts down from a CWM drain, it's not coming back on, not without about 30 seconds on the charger. I also turn the phone back on asap so that the phone's power consumption slows the battery charge cycle, like a ghetto trickle charge

Is it okay to let your phone shut off while in clockwork mod without telling it to do so

typically, yes. CWM isn't very active with the file system, and that's always the risk with things shutting down unexpectedly: A file that was partially written to the file system and not completed

No, flashing does not affect your battery in any way. No, CWM is not the cause of drain when you reboot to recovery, do something real quick, and lose 40% of your battery. That's an Android glitch with the temperature readings of the battery tricking it into believing there is less/more voltage than there actually is. A quick fix is to reboot on a charger which sets it back to the correct voltage reading. Yes, CWM does use a fair bit of battery though because as far as I know the cpu doesn't scale in recovery. It stays at max if I'm not mistaken.

That gives a lot of simple yet precise explanations

Now that's some good info. Cool little trick there, Kouma.
