I have two memory cards in the device, but I really haven't been using them. Would taking them out affect the battery life? I suppose the reader accesses them when turning on, but not during actual usage. I feel an experiment coming on!

From what I understand, yes, the SD cards will drain the battery more than if they weren't there.

I usually charge mine once every two weeks (but I don't let it go down all the way, so it could probably last three).
