Nokia E70 battery life sucks... why?

I tried running with and without autolock. There was quite a perceptible difference, I recall I got about almost a day more. It also seems that with v3, apps running in the background also consume power. I now try to shut down logs, contacts and messaging each night and again find I get quite a bit more out of the battery.
 
that's crazy - autolock should be able to set timers and sleep the processor, but who knows. I haven't noticed any appreciable difference with/without, but I haven't done any benchmarks.
 
I note from your posts that you have not got original sealed new Nokia batteries. Even the ebay seller, I am afraid may have given you a used, even though authentic battery. BL-6Cs and 5Cs have been around for quite a while, so it is quite likely you are using worn out batteries. My 7610 and e50 uses the same battery - BL-5C. I tried using the old one on the e50 and it did not last a day. The new one with came with the e50 easily lasts me 2-3 days.

Also updating the firmware would help somewhat.
