How many books do you have on it and how many collection tags do you have? It can hold a couple thousand books but it does slow it down a bit but if each of those couple thousand books has multiple tags then I'd say yes, you have too many tags. Calibre makes a collection on the reader per tag so if 1 book has say, 3 tags, it'll show up in three collections. Unnecessary in my opinion but that could be what's killing your battery.

When you add books to the device it reindexes and if in my example above is what you have, multiple tags per book and thousands of books, then I'd say that's what's happening. You'd have to quantify how many books and how many collections and how many tags you have though.
