It took me some time to figure that one out. The way I had it setup is that I deactivated shutdown mode, had sleep mode on 5 minutes and activated airplane mode. I figured I'd get good battery life, but only got about a week in between charges. I started using shutdown mode about 5 days ago and I'm still almost fully charged (as opposed to nearly drained)!!!

Bottom line is; don't use sleep mode. It may be convenient, but it sucks the life out of your battery.
