    totally normal that your battery is getting raped if you have the whole repos installed.
    basic message:
    less crap=more battery

    Hello!! I know your problem... it's this one...
    queen-beecon 1.3.2

    I also installed the QBW from extras-devel same version number and it eats alot of my battery. downgrading it from the extras testing version fixed the problem... BTW uninstalling it won't fix the problem. You really need to flash it
    Unless of course you know each and every file of that widget so you can delete it 1 by 1. dpkg --purge won't work

    Do you think disabling them would help?

    Yes I suppose. I play with the CPU frequency with it. Why do you think its causing it? Its not like it goes online or checks every few minutes?

    no the repos can be enabled.but you shouldn't have 50+ devel apps installed.
    you read the warnings about devel apps?

    0.o and the same widget as the one I use too... It constantly refreshes your desktop + the memory leak it has on the new version. that's why it's eating your battery big time lol! Just use the extras-testing version

    Well to put it in short way
    - Uninstall all apps that you do not use
    - Disable all apps that require connection (IM, VOIP, Skype, e-mail,widgets etc.)
    -Disable all schedulers that take connection in some intervals
    - Use only 2g
    - Do you use any folder/categorization application?

    Test for couple of days to see if battery depletion is still big. If not then one by one start using widgets / apps.

    And on some level I find it bit offensive that you are using devel/testing repository and come off with question that you should be able to debug yourself (because well, you are using devel/testing).

    Learn to use some basic analysis tools like:
    top
    htop
    powertop
