I have had the same problem for a few months now, out of the blue it wouldn't last. No new apps used or downloaded, nothing out of the normal and reported on here without any fix.
I used the phone a lot, I give VZW $~150/month for unlimited everything. I bought the Maxx for the sole purpose of having a handset that would last the talk time. For a year or so it did. Now today I got somewhat busy, but nothing like in the summer.
Well it lasted until about 3:15 (used a car charger at times too) and was so frustrated. Plugged it in to the charger, nope. 0%...... it took all of 15 minutes to have enough charge just to turn on. I caught up with a couple calls I missed and then bam.......... 4:15 powers off. POWERS OFF WHILE ON A CAR CHARGER!!!! Took another 15 minutes to get enough charge to turn back on. I work on deadlines, 4:30 is my deadline, and missed it because the phone refuses to turn on until it gets to 5% charge and the battery still gets drained while on a trickle charger.
Oh and;
Screen 67% 1hr 39m
Voice Calls 17% 44m28s
K-9 Mail 6%
The phone has been on 6h 58s and a lot of that while charged. Completely unacceptable.
I can't work with this phone, and VZW costing me $1800 year is not worth it. The only good thing about today was my un-locked GSM phone that arrived and my pre-paid $50/month UNLIMITED service SIM card will be here in a few. For me the exorbitant ETF of $230 will be worth it. I will make that up in savings after a few months.
VZW Motorola knows about this issue, they have done 0 to fix it, and I am done. I will be cancelling my service with VZW next month....... anyone who wants to buy a **** used Razr Maxx let me know.

My battery charges over night, every night in the docking station. Right now, after about 12 hours, it's still at 90 percent. I have had this phone for 14 months.

Hi LB09!
A busy person definitely needs a battery that can last! I know how frustrating it is to have phone that is not working properly. Let's get this resolved. How long does your battery last from 100% charge to completely drained? Are you using manufacturer approved wall and car charger? After market charges can drain your battery. What actions are you doing on the device while it has power? ex, downloading files, streaming games, movies, or music. Any liquid or physical damage to the device? Keep me posted.
Thanks,

I will be glad to take it off your hands..
I also have the Razr Maxx. Starting about two weeks ago, battery life went from 18 hours to 9 or 10 if I'm lucky. I have not downloaded any new apps, have cleared the cache, and deleted all the text messages,
I use my phone mainly for texting, and going online. Yes, I'm using VZW chargers, no liquid or physical damage to the phone, and no streaming videos/music either.
HELP!!!
