I finally figured out what is killing my battery

So for those of you that don't know, I've been having terrible battery life. On saturday, some how my exchange account got removed from the phone. I have no idea how that happened, but today, my battery life has been the best it has ever been. 5.5hrs on 25% charge? looking over the stats from this past weekend, the figures are awesome for the length of the battery life. I wasn't paying attention to it.

So after a whole day at work, I was around 58%. I noticed that exchange was gone so I put it back on. 2hrs later, it's at 21%. I think I have my battery killer.

Re: I finally figured out what is killing my battery

"Tweak Microsoft Exchange. If you're connected to a Microsoft Exchange server for corporate email, calendar and contact sync, you may experience an abnormal amount of battery drain on your Android smartphone. When connected to PC Mag's Exchange server, battery life was great on Android 2.1, but when upgraded to 2.2, phones experienced a significant drop in battery life. Reducing the size of the email folder to below 150 MB solved this issue. View your folder size in Outlook by right-clicking on your Inbox, then choosing Properties > General > Folder Size. Either archive or delete emails until the folder size is below 150 MB. "
