Frankly you could have serched a bit more in the RECENT topics about your problem ...

So you would have read that some taskbar applets are known to drain faster the battery ... especially those who continuously check memory, for example ...

You say you installed many softs ... beaware that if you pick softs from the dev repository, they are not yet perfectly stable or power efficient, so you may face battery life issues (amongst many other problems).

As a general rule with computers, when you get a new machine, you may test many many softwares if you like, but after that it's better to reset the device completely and install only the softwares you use ...

PS : how did ya manage to install 500Mb of softwares, it's huge !?!
