There is a known bug in the firmware. You can try editing the Kobo eReader.conf file and adding the following line under the [ApplicationPreferences] heading: PeriodicAutoSync=false to see if this helps your battery life.

Use a text editor such as Notepad++ to edit the file -- it uses Linux style end of lines and Windows Notepad will convert those to Windows style EOLs.
