Battery Draining Too Fast

[lamborg]

I have no UI like SPB MS installed. I have even removed the HTC Home plugin from today screen.

The battery of my device drains too fast even though its on 'Hibernate'. From 100% to 20% in 24 hours.
Using WM6. Could it be the 2GB storage card causing this? What else could be the reason?


Thanks

Ways to boost your battery's life
Turn off "Receive all incoming beams" (Settings->Connections->Beams)
Set the screen to the lowest brightness and have it turn off the backlight in a short amount of time (Settings->System->Backlight)
Have the PDA turn itself off in a short amount of time (Settings->System->Power)
Keep Bluetooth and Wifi turned off unless required
Force the PDA to use GSM instead of UMTS (Settings->Personal->Phone->Band)
Increase the amount of time between checking your email in Outlook
Ensure the battery is always charged via the proper charger (ie not a Car Charger or by the Computer Cable) and that it is allowed to drain to below 60% before being charged back to 100%)
Clean out your "\Windows\Start Up" folder - only leave what you need
If the battery still lasts a very short time
Purchase a new (possibly extended\larger) battery (Have a look at eBay - but be careful, poorly made batteries can deteriorate quickly)
Install a new (more vanilla) or the same ROM again
If you have followed the above advice, but the battery is still lasting a very short time (ie <24 hours) check out the following wiki article:

Hope it helps,

If you've had your device for a long time and used the same battery, it could be that the battery is just getting old and not working as it should. Though it may not be the problem, you can usually get a battery for your device on amazon.com for pretty cheap (around 12 USD for a Kaiser).
