Devileyezz, I've never used an IM program that didn't drain my battery rapidly. I usually see about 10% per hour. But it really depends on how much you are messaging. I think this is just the reality of using a program that constantly uses data. Personally, I use AIM the most so I forward my IMs via sms when I'm not logged in on a client (desktop/mobile). I also use AIM2TXT when I'm not having a lengthy conversation, that's when I switch to Beejive/Palringo. If you need other services, maybe try OZ messenger or whatever app uses sms instead of data (that is if you get unlimited sms).
