i keep my backlight at 2 "clicks" above off and make sure that all running programs are ended before i put it down for an extended amount of time.

My Treo and battery are still new (10-25-06) and I'm getting 24-30 hours on a charge.

The way you treat your battery in the beginning of its life is also crucial in how it will act in the future. It must be cycled a few times (FULLLLLLL charge and complete discharge) before it will start performing the way it should.

When I first got my PPC-6700 the battery lasted me 5 hours. After I cycled it about 5 times it started lasting around 16-20 (which is awesome for the OEM 6700 battery that has, what 1200 mAh?)
