Although the battery life is not as good as the one of a pure GPS device, mine lasts several hours. Maybe there's some background process which drains your battery (close all other applications, check your desktop widgets and check this article).

If you don't need the telephone and online connection while geocaching, switch to offline mode. This saves an additional hour or two.
