The recent issues with iPhone iOS 5 users losing battery life at drastic level is been dubbed "BatteryGate". Apple claims there is a bug in the software, but until they send out an update, you're stuck with trying to conserve your phone's battery by any means necessary. Now there are already tips and tricks on how to conserve battery life floating around the internet, or you can download the BatterySense app from Philips that will not only give you a better indication of where your phone's battery life is, but it will also offer up some advice on how to better keep your phone detached from the wall.
When you first open the app, you are presented with a number of squares that you can select to give you a more detailed look at your remaining battery life.

Tapping the "What if?" square gives you the ability to scroll up or down a scale to find out what you should or shouldn't do to drain battery life at that level. For instance, If I want to maintain my current 200 hours of standby time, BatterSense says I should "Turn off push notifications". At each level, you can flip through and see how much battery life is left for each action (talk time, watching videos, listening to music, etc) and gets tips on conservation.

In my opinion, BatterySense doesn't directly save you battery life, but it does arm you with on-the-fly information about your remaining battery life that will hopefully help you make decisions that could possibly help you extend you battery life. Information is power, and BatterySense for iPhone is free to download...nothing like free power.
