Interesting, I didn't expect the battery life to drop so drastically from the lite to the dsi.

It didn't. It's better, actually. The "Medium" Brightness on the DSi (And I assume the XL) are the Lite's maximum brightness.

You also have a mic and camera sucking that power. Battery for DSi is probably the same as the Lite.
