You may have other issues, I'm afraid. On both Sense and Home, once my battery was "trained", I get 48 or more hours per charge (depending on what new toys I have discovered)

My wife seems to be getting nearly 2 days out of her battery with moderate use, where I can get about 12 hours. I have tried using no widgets at all and make sure my phone sleeps properly. She just seems to get more out of her battery for some reason. If I'm using the internet on my phone for about 15 min after a full charge, it's down below the 90% mark and keeps falling pretty steady from there on.

After reading this thread i decided to make the switch to Home. I like it a lot better. The 3 windows is perfect for me and it keeps everything clean and simple. The battery life from what i've noticed is only a slight better but no big deal it was never that bad to begin with with me. So if this was a vote, i vote Home.
Are you using data? If you are, that generally kills your battery. Try WiFi whenever available.
Yeah, five or seven just gets to be silly and unnecessary. I'm a relatively simple guy, and my phone doesn't need thirty pieces of flare (minimum) to keep its function as a smartphone.
I'm a cheapass, so I'm not gonna use OpenHome. If it isn't too hard and there's a tutorial somewhere, I'd like to make my own set of icons for myself.

Here's a possibility: For the past couple of days, I was using the wall charger from my HTC SMT5800 phone.

Looks like this post hasn't had any comments recently, but I'm using the leaked 2.1 and switched using Sense to Home and I've seen a DRAMATIC improvement in battery. I can go a full day with moderate to heavy use without a recharge, which would have only been a half day using Sense. It could be due to the beta 2.1 version, but I'm sticking with Home. It's like having a regular cell phone again where you're not constantly worrying that using it will kill the battery!
