I agree with this. I think HTC uses some shoddy batteries if you ask me. I have 2 TP's that I got within months of each other and one charges and stays charged throughout the day (12 hours) with moderate use and the other, well, dies in 8 hours with no use at all. Both have been charged at the same time the exact same way. Both have the same apps and configured equally.

Li-Ion batteries aren't supposed to have to be conditioned but I beg to differ. They need to be charged, de-charged and charged again over and over for a battery reaches its full potential. The best way I have found is to (if you can afford to do this) at night, turn your phone off and charge. But during the day, let it drain as much as you can possibly stand before charging. Do this for a week and you'll notice a slight increase in battery life if it's a good battery.

This is just a tip and in no way am I claiming that "it will" increase the batt life. There are so many different factors to consider but this has always worked for me.
