Sorry for the top post.
I suspended to RAM my thinkpad for a year - even when I carried it around in the laptop bag. After 1 year, the battery life dropped to just 2009 mins. I had the same experience on a dell earlier. I'm currently hibernating andd powering off and there are no problems. Imo, suspend to RAM is not worth it in the long run.
