    Have you got the backlight to turn off after 5-10 seconds? Are you displaying album art? Both of those will eat away at the battery.

    Do you leave it to charge overnight instead of just unplugging it when it says it is full charged?

    yes, the backlight timer is at 10secs... and yes it displays album art....and i unplug it when it says its fully charged... i didnt realise these trivial things would affect battery life by such a huge amount though!!
