I'm currently running a perl script on each battery cycle with different things on and off to try and see what uses the most battery and how I could increase my current 7 hour battery life, which is too little for me. The point of this thread is to see how many get more than 7 hours out of their device. You don't have to specify what you are running, but if you get more than 7 hours of REAL usage it would be nice if you mentioned wheter you are constantly connected via WiFi/3G, are using IM accounts etc. My current findings after 3 days are that anything that uses internet drains battery fast. IE all of the IM services, having Irssi / Xchat open in the background, using ANY widget that updates itself often, having email on autoretrieve. Having any of these functions in use lowers my batterylife down to 7 hours. Currently I'm testing each IM account and each setting to confirm this, but currently these are my findings.
