Preserving mobile battery life

Be Careful with Ad-Supported apps. A lot of battery life can be wasted getting and displaying ads.
Be a little stingy with Widgets. Anything you have running and updating all the time will use more battery life than something on a timer which updates on a schedule, or which only updates when run.
Avoid bright and Light Wallpapers, they use more battery life than darker ones.
Turn off Push. Have Email check but not sync. Like the widget suggestion above, having a program open for constant updating can suck batteries dry quickly.
Check you battery use to see where the power goes.

4G requires more battery than 3G. The less you use your data plan with 3 or 4 G connectivity, the longer your battery will last. Use WiFi when you can.
