Hey all, I was wondering how much your batteries drop during standby.

For me, my battery went from 90% to 73% over 8-9 hours last night, losing about 2%/hour in nothing but standby. Wifi was off, and I had no email or exchange accounts running either. This is disappointing, but not terrible. However, I've read of people losing around 4-5% overnight, which seems far more reasonable for standby battery usage. Unless they're sleeping for 2.5 hours each night, there's a big disconnect between when I'm getting and what they're getting. Apple rates standby battery at "up to 300 hours." At my rate, I'd get 1/6 of that standby time. At the 4%/8 hours some people are getting, it would be 200 hours, which is much closer.

I'm restoring without backup for the 2nd time, and will test with the phone in airplane mode...
