Why Does En-el4a Begin To Lose Charge Rapidly After Calibration?

Right after I calibrated my EN-EL4a, it dropped from 2 to 3 and I noticed that the charge kept getting less and less thereafter. It seems that it would be better to NOT calibrate. In the instructions, it's even mentioned that you don't have to calibrate even if the icon suggests it.
