Below are good iPhone battery conservation tips that will help you get more run time out of a charge:

Turn off Location Services, 3G, WiFi, Bluetooth. Apps that need it will ask for permission and turn it on as needed (Settings > General > Location Settings > Off)

Turn off push email if you don’t use it (Settings > Mail, Contacts, Calendar > Fetch New Data > Push > Off)

Fetch email manually (Settings > Mail, Contacts, Calendar > Fetch New Data > Fetch > Manually)

Set screen brightness to 30% or less (Settings > Brightness) and set Auto Brightness to “On”.

Set Auto-Lock to 1 minute (Settings > General > Auto-Lock) and always sleep the phone by pressing the top button as soon as you are finished with it.

Minimize use of third-party applications like games that prevent the screen from dimming.

Turn off equalizer when listening to your song play lists ( Settings > iPod > EQ and tap Off )

Use Airplane Mode in low- or no-coverage areas so iPhone will stop searching for cellular network and will not use more power. ( Settings and set Airplane Mode to On.)
