I, personally, think the answer is (shudder) to error on the long side
with regard to default backlight brightness. Also to error on the
memory-hogging side with regard to dircache.

I think the best thing to do would be to create a simple "Battery Life
FAQ" in the manual explaining steps users can take to, well, lengthen
battery life.

Ship for UI performance and teach them how to tweak for battery
performance, IMHO.
