Battery lasts less than 3 hours

So I have had my blackberry for a bit over a year now. And it was all working fine until a couple of days ago.
Now the battery only seems to last for about 2.5hours, from being 100% to shutting off because of low battery. I havent got applications running in the background, and have read and followed all of the maximise battery life posts.
I used to be able to leave it for a day or more with it being fine.
What can I do to solve this, as it is really inconveniencing my life at the moment, because it just isnt staying on long enough for me to do anything.
If this is any help, I am on Orange.
and its a blackberry curve 8250 and the battery says 'capacity 1150mAh' and C-S2.
HELP!
Thanks

Replace the battery, I don't think BlackBerry will supply them but they're all over Amazon and eBay for as little as £1.50.
Let it completely shut down from full for the first 10 or so charges to help strengthen its life. Should last at least all day with this.
Try and avoid leaving it on charge when its 100% too.

The battery of my MBA 13 "mid 2011 is lasting less than two hours after installing the Mountain Lion. Would be the OS or apps consumed much?

My MBA is consuming the battery in less than two hours after I installed Lion Mountain. The update has already been done for some time. The problem of consumption would be the same OS, according to several complaints, or were inadequately apps consuming battery?

Please read this whole message before doing anything.
This procedure is a diagnostic test. It’s unlikely to solve your problem. Don’t be disappointed when you find that nothing has changed after you complete it.
The purpose of the test is to determine whether the problem is caused by third-party software that loads automatically at startup or login, by a peripheral device, by a font conflict, or by corruption of the file system or of certain system caches.
Disconnect all wired peripherals except those needed for the test, and remove all aftermarket expansion cards, if applicable. Start up in safe mode and log in to the account with the problem. You must hold down the shift key twice: once when you turn on the computer, and again when you log in.
Note: If FileVault is enabled, or if a firmware password is set, or if the startup volume is a Fusion Drive or a software RAID, you can’t do this. Ask for further instructions.
Safe mode is much slower to start up and run than normal, with limited graphics performance, and some things won’t work at all, including sound output and Wi-Fi on certain models. The next normal startup may also be somewhat slow.
The login screen appears even if you usually login automatically. You must know your login password in order to log in. If you’ve forgotten the password, you will need to reset it before you begin.
Test while in safe mode. Same problem?
After testing, restart as usual (not in safe mode) and verify that you still have the problem. Post the results of the test.

My iPod Touch [gen 3] battery suddenly is lasting less than an hour.

I've had my iPod since the summer of 2010. It's worked fine up until the last week or so. My original cord's white covering started to fray and you can see the silver wire protection, so I bought a new one. That one worked fine, but then it started giving me a screen on my iPod that said "Charging is not compatible with this accessory." And about three months ago, that cord just stopped working all together. So, I switched back to my original after putting electrical tape on it and it charges with no problem now. Well, now it's three months later and my iPod is suddenly only holding a charge for less than an hour. I put it on the charger when I go to bed, and take it off when I wake up. The only other time it goes on my charger is when it dies suddenly, or if I'm listening to it in my car because it charges it automatically when I plug it in through the USB cord to my CD player in my car. But, I'm really ticked off that it's already breaking because it's only 2 years old, and I can't afford another one.
Does anyone know what could possibly be making my iPod die so fast? I have notifications turned off of most of my apps, the only exception is Draw Something, Facebook, and Words With Friends. I have my brightness at the medium setting. And I've deleted a lot of apps this morning in case that was the problem. I don't listen to music that often on it, when I do it's when I plug it into my car. I mostly play games and stuff, but I took it off the charger an hour and fifteen minutes ago, and within 45 minutes I got the notification that I had 20% battery left.

1. Check the cycle count of the battery. It may be due for replacement.
2. If not, follow these instructions.
3. You can also try resetting the SMC.
4. Make sure your system is up to date in Software Update.
5. Make a "Genius" appointment at an Apple Store, or go to another authorized service center.
Back up all data on the internal drive(s) before you hand over your computer to anyone. If privacy is a concern, erase the data partition(s) with the option to write zeros* (do this only if you have at least two complete, independent backups, and you know how to restore to an empty drive from any of them.) Don’t erase the recovery partition, if present.

You iPod is broken. It appears it is more than the screen and maybe more than the battery.
Apple will exchange your iPod for a refurbished one for $199 for a 64 GB on and $99 for the others. They do not fix yours.

My iPhone 5 battery last less than a day, help

What should I do to have a longer battery life on my iPhone 5. I do not use any apps, I only use the phone -and not so much- and check email messages, yet I have to carry my charging cable everywhere because by 5 PM my battery dies. My blackberry battery lasted 3 times more.

Things I found that eat my battery fast:
LTE on.
WiFi on when no WiFi available (constantly searching)
Location services on when not needed
Rarely do I need LTE speed, so I just turn it off and go 3G. You might give it a try.

Battery lasts less than 2.5 hours

My MacBook Pro is 3 months old and after installing all my apps and accounts I noticed my battery only lasting 2.5hours on a full charge. I brought my issue to the forum and came to the conclusion that Google Chrome is known to use a lot of CPU and energy, so I wiped the hard drive and did a clean install of OS X 10.9. Without reinstalling Chrom (I used Safari) my battery looked great for about a week, 6-7hours on 100%. But now suddenly, same issue has returned. No more than 2.5 hours on 100% battery. I also notice that the machine is pretty hot especially when comparing it to colleagues MacBook Pro's of the same model.
Here's the latest screen shot:
Can anyone suggest what could be the issue? I am on the brink of returning it to the store.

1. Follow these instructions, or these for OS X 10.9 or later.
2. In the Energy Saver preference pane, uncheck the box marked
Enable Power Nap while on battery power
if it's shown (it may not be.)
3. You can also try resetting the SMC.
4. Make a "Genius" appointment at an Apple Store, or go to another authorized service center.

100% to almost 60% battery in less than 1 hour - normal ??

I have had an iPhone4 since a little after they came out. I am such a light user of the phone that I have never had to worry about the battery, and even when I am taking pictures making calls I don't even remember ever getting below 60%. I charged the phone every day and mostly kept it on whatever charger was closest to me.
Now, I have upgraded to an iPhone5 for Siri, the Maps, the better camera and sound, image stabilization, nicer display, etc.
The other day I was pretty excited about trying out my new phone's maps, so I took about an hour drive to meet my girlfriend after work, and we went to see a movie. The phone was 100% charged when I left.
I had GPS going I guess with the maps, no other apps going or in the background, but I did have music playing through the headphone back to my car stereo.
I was blown away that when I got to my destination and the next time I looked at my iPhone it was about 60% charge. I estimate it was about an hour or continual use like that. Do maps/GPS use a lot more power than normal?
Is this normal? Do I have a problem? Are there things I can do to cut down on power usage? I already have the screen about as low as I can set it and still be able to see it. Any FAQs on this issue?

Thanks woodmeister ... that's kind of the conclusion I came to.
the first thing I did was to buy one of those expensive little power adapters so I can charge my phone while I am driving ... which I guess does not help me if I am riding my bike?
While my iPhone does not really discharge so much it does not seem like the phone charges much either, which leads me to think there is a problem.
My iPhone is only about a week old so it is not one of the early ones. I just do not know if this is normal?
Do you know if Apple has some concrete way to measure the iPhone battery to some standard they set?

Had the same problem and spoke with Apple Support. They had me reset the System Management Controller:
Shut down the computer. With the computer off, on the left hand side of the keyboard press shift+control+option along with the power button simultaneously and release. Wait 5-10 seconds and restart the computer.
This solved my problem and I was immediately able to purchase, download, and play an HD movie from iTunes w/o any error message.

Maybe the problem is not your MB Air......
Try these:
Make sure bluetooth is turned off if you're not using it.
Set your screen brightness to 4 bars.
See what's loading in your login items. Delete the ones you don't need.
Open Activity Monitor - under All Processes see what's using most of your CPU's resources.
Highlight the ones with the highest %CPU and hit quit process.
Remember that when Apple says that your battery should last 7 hours, they tested it just browsing the web and not have anything open in the background and screen is set at 50% brightness.

Battery discharges on iPhone 5 in less than 24 hours. Is this normal?

Battery on iPhone 5 running iOS7.0.4 discharges in less than 24 hours. Older phones held charge for a few days. Is this an iOS problem or a phone problem? How can I get longer battery life?

This is being caused by Software, I hate to tell you this but it could be caused by World of WarCraft.

After upgrading my iPhone 4 to iOS 5.0.1 the load of the battery lasts less by 30% with the same use it had before. So far I read the upgrade was to correct the battery duration flaw. So ¿What happened?
