More about battery life on my n900

This battery life situation is kinda pissing me off. :(

I wrote a script to get charge, battery %, and cpu load. Made it run every 10 mins to collect the data. I unplugged the phone at 9:40 am. No 3g, no wireless, very few interaction. About 10-20 mins phone conversation. And at 15:30 the battery was completely drained. It gives me 6 hours of battery life under normal conditions.

The handset runs very warm. I found a temp sensor in the /sys folder but I don’t know if it’s telling me the truth since it’s constantly at 38° C. I contacted the Nokia support, I hope they can provide me something. Maybe I have a defect battery.

Here are the charts since I love them… :)
