Is not closing all your apps that is running in the background. To close the running apps! double click the home button located at the bottom middle of the phone. And you will see a list of all the apps running in the back ground. Next touch and hold preferably the first app, till a red circle with a minus symbol pops up to the top right of the apps that are currently running. Then touch every minus button of the apps you want to close if not using them at the time.

Hope it works for you. It seems to be working for my iPod Touch 4th Gen. After the update I was losing a ton of juice in stand-by mode. Now it’s improved a lot.

Also, Yep Gov’t Mule… you’ll find that we are huge fans as well here.

I have been losing power at a much quicker rate since installing iOS v4.3 so hopefully this will help. Plus I love that you used Gov’t Mule in the screenshots for this tip since they are one of my favorite bands!

Not losing power like crazy as you mentioned.

I was also losing power like crazy on my iPad and disabled Ping… not sure if it’s helping much yet though.

Battery has been losing power at a rate of at least 10% per hour in standby! Hoping that this solves the problem.

That provides you with a bit more space for relevant controls.

I never even knew that restrictions existed. All I knew was that all of sudden, after updating, my battery was crap

I clearly have too many gadgets. My previous comment, I just discovered, was about my iPhone 3G, which is running 4.0.2 and not my 3GS which is running 4.3. Ping does appear on the Restriction list of the latter.

Which is too bad, because I’ve noticed the battery drain and would like a fix. Apple really should have a policy of getting better life out of each upgrade rather than worse.
