Help G1 Battery Dies Unusually Fast

So I've had my G1 for a while and it has always been rooted. I recently tried a new ROM called Froyo for Trout and I liked the speed of it so I stuck with it. About a week after I installed this ROM, I got and app to overclock my phone. My phone began draining the battery extremely fast so I just set the settings back to what I thought was normal and deleted the app. Ever since this, my battery dies quickly and the indicator is useless as it's never correct. It may just be me but I think it dies faster after I charge it overnight. Today I got sick of this after it died, turned back on, died again, and then stopped turning on for an hour. I can't really explain the behavior since it is so random and I can't notice a distinct pattern. Does anyone know how I can get it back to normal?

Thanks!
 
After charging your phone....turn it off and turn it back on again (Don't reboot..)

I'm guessing it's the USB battery drain that's been plaguing all G1 users for as long as I can remember.

That doesn't seem to be working. The phone just shut off at 90% after I did that.
 
Does anyone really have a true success story with a Rooted and flashed (Froyo or later) G1 ?

btw...my unrooted, bone stock G1 goes about a day and a half on a charge unless I run a lot of videos on it. This is with a 2yr old battery.

I don't think I have a problem with USB battery drain do I? It always charges fully when it's on USB charge. Am I just lucky? Or is it simply that noone's messed with the OS on this phone?

G1's in general are terrible with battery life, but I think the fact that you are running the stock OS makes your battery life last a bit longer.
