It might be found on the battery itself. I believe they are capable of providing 1900 mAh at 3.7v. As a guess, turning off wireless networking and 3g (I don't have 3g personally) would probably more than make up the current draw from a few bright low powered LED's. With my 'system' going for hours every night I find I need to recharge every other day. It might seem a lot but really isn't as I rarely run the battery down below 40%. Maybe 20 mA 5mm bright white LEDs? 2 per side with all 4 wired series/parallel...
Hope this gives a little food for thought
