Help Random power downs, battery drainage

I have a 3500mAh, and my phone is reporting rather strange battery readings. It will be ~75%, and then all of a sudden it will report @ 35% will no activity. could it be a bunk battery? I've had it for a couple months. Also, it will just shut off at random times, but I think that has to do with the (physical) battery itself, and it slipping in and out of the battery slot. I put a piece of paper between the back cover and the battery (something I learned from my Storm days) to make the fit a little tighter and it seems to do the trick.

does anyone know what could make the battery report such drastic differences? is anyone else having these issues, either with the stock battery or otherwise? I am considering putting my 1300mAh back in to see if I have the same problems. Maybe it's a hardware issue.
 
I've just bought my HTC Desire HD and have had to charge it like nearly twice a day I am interested in finding out if most batterys drop power like this.
