I've had new batteries read 6/10, 10/10, 8/10. I had one battery that after a few hours read 2/10, but lasted, under heavy use, for nearly 3 months, reading 2/10 the whole time. I keep extra AAs with me anyways, so I just ignore the battery meter. My guess is that the battery meter is based on a subtle voltage level that's more exact than the tolerance of the batteries them selves. I just change 'em when they're dead.
