It seemed to me that my H2O battery drained unusually quickly as well, and I was especially alarmed when I noticed that wifi syncs drained by battery at 15% per. Like jackastor, I could watch the numbers drop during a sync.

I sync 2-3 times a day (lots of Pocket articles), so that's a 30-45% hit on the battery daily. No wonder my juice is dropping so fast. Wifi is thirsty, and Kobo doesn't figure it into their two-month battery spec at all.

The question remains, is a 15% battery hit for a fairly lengthy sync (say 10 Pocket articles) reasonable or unreasonable?
