Help Phone keeps shutting down at around 50-60% battery life.

I have 2.3 rooted now on stock rom. Have had it for a while now and for the last month or so if Im playing a game, on the phone or on the net for a while. Like over 15-20 minutes with about half of my battery left the phone will just shut down.

It might be a heat issue. I've had 2 replacement handsets that kept resetting themselves due to heat issues. Once the phone gets damaged once due to heat (and this is a common issue with the Xperia), then the damage has been done.

My first handset reset itself when I was using Google Navigation while the phone was charging in the car, and that was how I proved it to the people in the shop: I plugged it in and messed around with maps for a minute and then it reset. Did it again, same thing.

It's worth mentioning that I managed to get a replacement through my operator in the UK *after* the 1 year manufacturer warranty passed because the phone was basically faulty.
 
I forgot to update this.
I bought two new battery's off ebay for $6.
Guess the battery got screwed.

Works great now, doesnt shut off at all. Im so happy because I would literally not use my phone in less I had too in fear of shutting off...
