I let it discharge every week or two, then leave it to charge fully. Yesterday morning it was due to be plugged in - but was still nearly fully charged. This morning, still on green. This evening, it is just about down to the red. That's the best part of three days. I haven't done anything out of the ordinary - I haven't downloaded anything I can think of. Weird. This is what I would have hoped for with a battery - but it has never gone this long before.
Firstly, how old is your battery? Could be time for a change???

You may find some other threads talking about checking CPU consumption and battery usage. Also, you could install BatteryGraph to see what's draining the battery.

But basically, if you run PR1.3, with wifi on 24/7, battery life could drain within 1-2 days. From my experience, GPS tends to consume battery life - so, turn off GPS applications if not in use.
