Points about battery life from macintouch.com: 1. Exercise the battery monthly. They stagnate if not used regularly. Battery University states the exercise is needed after every 30 charges (cycles). Apple is likely trying to simplify so I go with the 30 (partial) cycles as I don't use it as frequently. 2. If not to be used in the near future, discharge it to 40 - 66% and store in refrigerator

The iZap, a product initially designed to work and function with Apple’s 5th Generation iPod, has reportedly been confirmed as usable on the Apple iPhone.
Hooking up the iZap to your iPhone will triple its battery life, giving off 24 hours of talk time on a single recharge in the dock. Perfect for people on the road and constantly away from recharge points and computers.
On offer in a matching black color similar to the iPhone, it should look rather slick and unobtrusive in use. It retails for $80 - not bad value for those who need it.

Two of the biggest battery hogs in Windows Vista are the flashy Aero user interface and the gadget sidebar. So it stands to reason that if you want to get the most out of your laptop's battery life you'll disable these features when running on battery power.

The battery life in my MD Player is about one hour without the spare battery pack on. We've replaced the gumstick battery multiple times, but it still holds little over an hour, while the spare packs AA can hold dozens of hours.
Dwight Silverman, the tech reviewer at the Houston Chronicle, has written about the impact that the Aero theme has on battery life and performance (under the provocative title "Vista, Aero, battery life . . . and Doom" -- he's referring to the game Doom3, BTW). It's a good post and I'd like to take a minute to expand on what Dwight has written.
First off, yes, as Dwight correctly points out, the Aero theme drives the GPU harder and therefore uses more power. But in the big picture, it's really not that much more. For example, the display on most laptops will consume somewhere between 15-25% of your "power budget" when you are running on battery. Nevertheless, in our testing we've seen that turning on Aero consumes only about 1-4% more of battery life. In terms of making your battery last longer, turning off Aero will not go very far while at the same time costing you some of the cool features that make Windows Vista fun to use, such as Flip 3D, taskba
