Why is my RAZR M losing battery at an alarming rate?

I woke up at 9 a.m. this morning and took the phone off of its charger. It is now 10:48 am and my battery is at 50%. I have made no calls or done any browsing in the meantime (though the wifi remains turns on).


Sometimes the phone looses large chunks of battery life in an instant. For example, It will lose 30% charge in a minute before resuming normal draining behavior.
Sometimes, the phone loses large chunks of battery life once it has been plugged into the charger (although it does charge normally after that).

I am trying to determine what is causing my phone's battery to fail so quickly. Is there an app or process running in the background that is causing it to drain so quickly? Is the battery simply defective?

For the record, when I first got this phone, it would only lose 16% battery throughout the entire day provided that I did not use it to call very much. It become significantly worse in the past week.
