1) Are you leaving bluetooth turned on? That eats battery juice.
2) Automatic beam receive? Ditto.
3) What level is the backlight at? Turning it right down virtually triples the battery life, when compared to leaving it at maximum brightness.
Finally, if all of the above is right, you may have a dodgy battery (although I haven't heard of that being a T3 problem). Or you may just have power-hungry habits. In which case, you need either a Power-to-Go sled (carries around 3 full charges for a T3, clips to the back), or one of the slightly fiddlier 4xAA cell chargers (again, around 3 full charges from a set of 4 alkaline AA cells).
