Calibrate your battery (let it run down until it goes off and then recharge to 100%). It's just a meter.

If you did, then there's no reason to do it again. I assume you have a 3GS?

yup 3gs.

Just keep using it and if it continues to keep doing that and it really bothers you, then take it to Apple.

Yes. That's what we all do. Use it for the day, pray it makes it until the day ends, and then charge it.
