i wrote the below in another thread and need others opinions that do the same and see if they have the same outcome. also, for the ones that don't charge every night, maybe you should try it to fix your "battery drain" problems.


because most people won't read this message, i'm going to make the text bigger so they do.

recently, due to my battery only lasting 2 days with no use at all, i switched up my charging patterns. i decided to start charging my phone every night when i sleep. i have noticed that the battery was able to hold its full charge for much much longer. being able to listen to music for 4+ hours, talk for 30mins avg, play bejeweled 2 for 10mins and some zombieville usa and tiger woods golf, not to mention texting and 3g surfing and emails. my battery at the end of the day still shows around 50%. i have 3g enabled, fetch is set to 30mins, push is on, location services is on and brightness is set to full.

since you get the point i'm lowering the text now to normal. i have a friend who has the ipod touch that has notice the same thing. charging to 100% every night has the battery hold its charge much longer which equals more usability. you should still do a battery cycle every month though as apple suggests.
