Two potential causes. 1) your battery calibration is messed up and your phone isn't displaying the percentage properly or 2) your battery is faulty.

If you have root access, there are some battery calibration apps in the Play Store... they pretty much clear the internal mapping that the phone uses to determine what to report to you, the user.

You say you switched the battery... maybe the new battery is defective.

If you've swapped in different batteries and have run into the same issue.... that's not a good sign.... you phone's power subsystem might be screwed up and there really isn't an app that can fix that (phone would need to be serviced/replaces)

I just read a bit from a Google engineer that those battery calibration apps are useless.

It'll do that then go back to draining. Mine has gone from 67% - 57% in 5 minutes!
