Default Weird battery issue

My wife has a curve 9330...great device and she loves it. She is not a heavy user. Some text, bbm and web surf...mostly email and some phone calls. This device has always had killer battery life as she could easily get two full days or more with it....last night she charges it completely and by 6 pm it was stone dead. She did absolutely nothing different, in fact she may have used it less today. What would make the battery all of a sudden drain so quick?

She does not have any apps running in the background that shouldn't be. She doesn't do social media so no updates to worry about. Settings are all the same. I'm not sure what else it could be. Any help?

Did she spent anytime in an area with bad signal. This has been known to drain a battery real fast. I would go skiing where my BB would have no reception, if I left it on 4 hours later by noon it would be dead. Just my thoughts.

No she didn't. She was at her office all day and there is great service there. Could the battery be on the blink?

You will have to wait and see if her battery gets back to normal. Strange, wifi on? Blutooth? Gps? I would do a battery pull then use as usual and see how things come out. Post back if you learn anything new.
