No actual data, this is an area that could really use some addressing though. Not that I have noticed any rapid depletion of the battery, or anything. Since I no longer do any reading using the Kobo software and don't even enter Nickel anymore, as I am using tshering's Kobo Start Menu instead, I would not be the one to provide a valid comparison. Having played with a number of devices I would say that getting any really good charge level data is a pain for devices like these, not an easy chore for a programmer.
The "Power Off" function of the Kobo Start Menu seems to work well, so I am not loosing much when it is not in use (all Li batteries have some self discharge, not that I have noticed any so far.) I also use a "Sleep" function that works almost all the time for me on my AuraHD but that others have found troublesome.
Luck;
Ken
