The battery life on the 3DS is much better than people seem to make it out to be. I've clocked myself being in standby with the Wifi on for three days before needing to recharge, and that includes opening the lid for a couple quick games of Street Fighter during that time.
Earlier, someone mentioned the top screen going dim when you turned on the 3D. I believe that is due to the "power save" mode being on (which, by the way, being able to change the brightness without needing to go into settings is a godsent). You can turn the power save mode on and off effortlessly, though I have noticed a substantial change in battery life with it on.
