Maybe the battery, but I wonder if there isnt something running thatyou are not aware of. I am at 5:30 hrs of up time, some minimal usage (20 minutes) checking email and have 88% battery life.
My battery usage is about the same as on 2.1 if not slightly better. Searching for a good signal and apps running (or being killed all the time) can drain battery. if you have removed everything from your phone including all apps and emails, and a general battery pull doesnt fix, then yes wipe the device to factory defaults, if you still have excesive battery drain, try to get a new battery from VZW (its covered under waranty) and if that doesnt work, get a replacement device. Sorry you are having so many issues, I am loving my Froyo, once you get the battry issue figured out, I'm sure you will too.
Did you do a factory reset when you updated??
If you did, I would do the following:
1. get rid of any task killers
2. turn off auto-sync
3. Get rid of anything that does frequent updating
I have tons of widgets and email and such but some simple setting tweeks and my battery life is BETTER now.
I also am having these battery issues. Last night I went to bed with my battery about 70% charged. This morning when I woke up my phone was dead. Obviously, I wasn't using it as I was sleeping. Then I had it to about 10-15% charged, needed to run to the store, and unplugged my phone so I can take it to my car charger. Between unplugging my phone and taking it to the charger, which was 10 minutes max as I talked to my family for a little bit, my phone is dead, again.
And to the other posters here suggesting the OP to get rid of his task killer, I do not have task killer installed. After the update, with my phone ridden with problems, I did a factory reset. This helped, to an extent. I still have unwanted apps running in the background, and no, my battery did not improve at all.

What is your Uptime compared to your Awake time?
I am at 8hrs Up time and 40 minutes Awake time with 75% battery left. I have six email accounts that are syncing, along with News, and Weather. I have background data turned on which allows apps to send, receive, and sync at any time.
My phone I had to master reset many times due to another issue. But it is working as I expect.
check what budone mentioned. go into sttings, about phone, battery. your up time should be how long the phone has been on and your awake time should be how long you have actually been using it. if you turn it on and don't use it and then check it 30 minutes later and those two times are the same or real close, then you have something actually utilizing the device the entire time it is on. if it truly goes idle then it should not affect your up time and if the phones been on for an hour but you haven't used it, then your up time should be just a minute and your awake time should be 60 minutes.
Read the following...my solution to a post I wrote regarding Froyo and battery life:
Ok guys...so I have been researching the above issue for a while and tried the following:
I uninstalled the Advanced Task Killer and removed my Battery lite widget. I then rebooted my phone (not a factory reset). I charged my phone over night and took it off the charger at 0600am before I went to work. I used my phone just like I normally do and by 700pm I still had 70% battery life...that's 13 hours later. Before 2.2, I was always killing apps and most of them stayed killed, but not all. With 2.2, I was killing them every 5 minutes, which is absolutely ridiculous. Now, I don't bother to look what is running and don't care as long as my phone is lasting all day. My battery life has been fine since I did that. I know it's hard to believe, but this is coming from someone that was an avid Task Killer. All ATK will do is give you anxiety about all the tasks that are running, so uninstall it and do what I did...I have told this to a few people that I work with also and it worked for them. Try it, what do you have to lose.
I am on my 3rd Incredible since the 2.2 release and since VZW is CONVINCED the 2.2 software is not the issue, I am scheduled to receive my 4th Incredible tomorrow ...
I have done everything imaginable other than rooting the phone and the issues remain (primarily the battery issues) The depressing thing is I spent $60 on an extended battery, but a minimal difference. Several wipe cleans, no 3rd party apps and no ATK but still the battery drains. The most recent issue I have now is the 1800+ songs I have on my memory card all show the same album art work for each song! That is meaningless to the overall performance I know, but still, that indicates the software has bugs.
In the past, VZW would offer a different device if the phone is exchanged 3 times or more ...but I guess VZW no longer does that? I attempted to obtain a BB Tour but was denied.
Your post explained your email sync is disabled. How about your calendar? Is that sync disabled too?
