the bat level app itself consumes so much of battery.
It will hardly use any battery as it runs in the background (you don't need it open for it to save battery data):

Hi Guys I've just installed this app, and it's exactly what I've been looking for. I was very disappointed when I found my device lasted for about 9 hrs connected to a 3G packet data connection, with MSN, Jabber, Gtalk and Skype enabled.
Since then, I've dropped to a 2g connection (constant packet data) with MSN jabber and gtalk enabled, fetching emails every 30 mins.
I get an average of 12 hrs. I see you guys getting 3 days! This doesn't seem possible!
I've had to drop from 4 to 2 bars of brightness too.
I downloaded htop, and it showed me what I thought I'd see.
I've got a process running at an almost contast 10% somewhere in opt/maemo/usr/bin/ (not sure how to see past there, yes I fail I know)
and the device is peaking up to 46, and sitting around 13-23% cpu usage when I've got a plain old terminal window open.
does this sounds like a common bug to you guys sorry I haven't done much scrounging around the forum but it seems like power usage bugs are pretty common

Bugs and bugs. Some protocols are power hungry by design so there is not much you can do.

yeah i know :P dont say it. htop was taking up 10% ergh man i fail.
ok but talking battery usage here, i'm connected to msn gtalk jabber all day, fetching mail every 30mins.
widgets on desktop are calendar, countdown, media player and second desktop is dataplan monitor and conversation.
this is along with a few shortcuts/contacts/pages.

These kind of services use the connection the whole day, sending staying alive messages all the time. That is draining your power. turn those off for a day and report back

there is my battery usage today, connected to a 2g packet data connection the whole time, with msn, jabber & gtalk enabled + fetching mail every 1/2hr. I did a couple of calls later in the day and some moderate/light use of the phone just writing some todos etc.
is that normal? :P I'm not sure hahah I'll check back tomorrow with details about how not being connected to IM services deals with the battery.
HAIL ROB1N!
