Compared to the 650, it is a big improvement in my opinion. For some reason, my 650 would burn through the battery in 3-4 days on standby with 2 hours of daily use at most.
There's a problem with your 650's battery and/or charging circuit. It's faulty IOW.

I charge my 650 on average once a month and that is when it still has 25-50% (1-2 bars) of battery capacity remaining.

The longest it has gone between charges is just under 2 months (55+ days) before it was down to 25%. (1 bar) This is powering off the reader between sessions, NOT putting it in standby.

When putting it in standby I typically get anything from 14 - 24 days between charges, again when battery capacity is between 25-50% (1-2 bars) remaining, the *typical* charging cycle for a 650 according to Sony.

Read my previous posts for the details of my 'experiements' when the charging cycle of my 650.
