I experienced extremely fast battery depletion on my Aura HD with FW 3.0.1. I had wifi and sync both disabled, so I believe the problem was caused by something else. Also, whether or not the actual battery was depleted (or it was just the meter reporting it incorrectly), once the battery was below 10% I was not allowed to use the reader until I charged it up again. The problem went away after I did a factory reset and upgraded the firmware directly to 3.1.1, bypassing 3.0.1 completely. (I originally tried upgrading from 3.0.1 to 3.1.1, but the problem remained. It was only when I bypassed 3.0.1 that the battery problem disappeared.) Good luck.

By the way, I emailed Kobo about this problem and they said they had never heard of it. I hope they aren't still saying that to people who contact them about this problem.
