Yeah, 24 hours or so would theoretically be the max with suspend mode, if you spent the entire time in suspend. I think the estimates they're giving of "days" is assuming that at least some of that time is spent in sleep mode. IE, you're not going to get continuous use around the clock for days, but then most people probably will want to sleep for at least some of that time themselves.
