in addition to my last post:
i restarted the n900 today 4 hours ago, when the battery was at 50%.
now, 4 hours after restarting, the battery still shows 50%.
so there was definitely somethign going on in the system that drained power.

i'll try to observe what triggers the rapid battery loss.

Just so you guys know, you cannot rely on these battery monitor programs %100. At best it should be used as a rough guideline of how much battery you are using or have left.

My sex lasts longer than my N900's battery life - and I am not proud of that

This tool is really nice, thanks a lot !
While using it with powertop, I've discovered that my IM accounts were real power suckers. Now I've disconnected them all, and instead of something like 10hrs I run through the whole day with 60% battery left.
So there's a real problem with IM accounts. Too bad, being connected everywhere was the reason for buying an N900 in the first place.
BTW, would it be possible to integrate some powertop functionality into battery-eye ? Also, would it be possible to show (with a differrent color perhaps) when the device it charging ?
Thanks

This is a bummer, but remember -- you can carry an extra battery and it takes about ten seconds to change (plus time to reboot). I am not sure that the very purpose of the N900 is defeated because you might have to spend ten extra seconds sometimes.

Battery can be monitored better by reading data from fuel gauge chip BQ27200. http://focus.ti.com/lit/ds/symlink/bq27200.pdf
It is connected on i2c bus 2 at address AA and AB ( hard coded on asic but i am not sure !! ) but these addresses are not listed on /sys
I add this to WIKI http://wiki.maemo.org/N900_Hardware_Power_Consumption

People have said no other device can do IM, Web browsing and Music for this long - but yes they can. Nokia's N97 served me very well in battery life. I often used IM for 2 hours in the morning, and then email and web browsing through the whole day. By midnight I would have usually have about 50% battery left.
With the N900 - one hour of IM would take about 30/40% battery life. That is simply painful. Especially as I have 15 more hours left in the day where il need my phone. Dont always have USB plug in available.
