for those who have night-battery-draining problems.
in the repos is a app called alarmed.
this app allows you to configure your phone that it for example goes auto flight mode in at 00:00 and auto flight mode out at 06:00
you can configure the time how you need.
my battery drains 3 percent at night with this app

Most battery related problems are a program that won't go idle. Or maintaining a 3G data connection with chat enabled, or wifi (not so bad) with chat.
Try this:
top -d 240
and leave it alone for at least 4 minutes.
Then look at the CPU % column and you can see what is using CPU time. Ideally everything should be 0%. Less than 1% might be ok.
or install one of the battery graph programs. I've used "BatteryGraph" to monitor what uses up the battery.

I was having a random battery drain problem for a long time. It was "catorize" app that was causing it (actually it's the hildon-desktop interacting with catorize). Removed "catorize" and my battery lasts DAYS now.

I am overclocked to 250-900. My phone would not last 12 hours the way I use it. I can't tell you exactly, but I am at school all day, texting, IMing, emailing, browsing webz, taking pictures here and there, and def listening to music/internet radio... Basically, raping my battery 
Maybe next two weeks I will leave my home in the morning with my phone charged all the way, and make logs of my battery graph and how long my battery lasts...

Hey guys. I got my N900 last week and I charge it after I come home from work. It gets up to 93% charge I do some Wifi downloading and then I switch it off. I have or had one desktop all others cancelled and now I only have a calender, the weather app, 2 bookmarks and a couple shortcuts on the desktop. I have brightness app installed and the app that allows u to take screencasts and screen shots and see CPU and memory usage running in the background. most of the time i have no wifi connection at work. 2.5G is what i use but it's just there with my GSM mode cuz I got the app to switch between DUAL GSM AND 3G. I turn my phone on at 9am and it lasts me at times till 7pm where it's either 5% or less. So it basically lasts around 10hrs but I don't like that 10hrs bcuz it seems I always have to be trying to force it to make those 10hrs by switching it off or not using it at all or going into offline. i wud really just like to use my device comfortably with out worrying if it'll die on me thanks. btw i don't know anything bout xterm and stuff so if u offer that as help u have to speak noob. thanks again

Also if you have email client setup... setting to 2.5/2G will drain the battery more as phone will be using data for longer period of time( slow transfer rate). So juss use 3G if that's the case and see if it improves..

I only connect to wifi or GPRS when I want something other wise it just says 2.5 under the signal bar area and that's it. If I switch it to 3G with the app there's no 3G written just a blank spot under the signal bars or no signal bars at all.
