Hello Pavel,
I think something is definitely wrong with your device or software.
Battery life of my N900 is days, not hours (I do not use it really much
though).
I am not sure these links will be of help, but maybe you will be able to
find something useful there:

Mine, whith it's quite old battery, can probably last 2 days with this
kind of usage (but browsing the web on wifi empty the batterie on 3/4
hours).
I'd say you have a program installed that ruins the battery life.

The biggest leap in saving enery is to use smart-reflex.
Thus for you have to install kernel-power 50.
Please read all instructions in the wiki carefully before doing so.
Installing latest CSSU is recommended too.

Thank you for your tips, Dmitry!
After the suggestions of others, I think one problem is that I'm
connected all the time to my WiFi at home. But it isn't everything. Even
when not connected (while I'm outdoors), the battery lives for hours,
never days.
I'll try to investigate the battery killer ;-)

Dear Dmitry,
thank you for your tips.
1. I am connected all the time at home to my WiFi network. Do you think
it could consume so much power?
2. I'll try to find the battery killer with this list's help :-)

I am connected all the time to WiFi at home. But even outdoors when not
connected, my battery discharges in a couple of hours.

Thank you, Michael!
Now I don't exactly know what smart-reflex is for now. I surely can
search for it but if you could explain it also for the others, I'd be
happy :-)
OK, I'm not sure if I have the kernel-power installed for now. I'll
definitely install it. Last time the installation ran without problems.
CSSU. This is still a mystery for me. It's a sure choice then. I notice
I am a bit noob :-D

Considering how abnormal his battery use is, I don't think smartreflex is
the answer. Considering smartreflex only makes a difference when the CPU
is on, and on a properly configured device, the CPU spends most of the
time off.

I have recently read an article, a review of Nokia N900. The reviewer stated that his device lasts 3 days on battery when only sometimes calling or writing SMS.
This is what I hardly can believe because my N900 lasts only 3, max. 6 hours on battery and then the battery gets discharged.
