I was getting terrible batt life. I was losing 10% an hour. So I decided to to see if I change my mail setting if that would help. Below is what I changed the settings too and I am losing about 2% an hour now.

Exchange Active Sync Mail Acct - Push
Gmail Acct - Fetch every Hour instead of 15 min
RoadRunner Email - Fetch every Hour instead of 15 min

I hope this helps.

I had the same issue with my old 3GS phone, I set the email to push and turned off some of my apps location service's.

i have 2 accounts (RoadRunner) both on 15 mins... I dont get even close to 10%/hour??

check all the apps you have running and shut most of them down. (dbl click home, then tap/hold till it wiggles, then close them)
