Any changes to the network, new equipment or new software installed?
For example, some software sending lots of broadcast messages to the
network?

It sure is.

I would try testing the battery without WLAN and anything else
running, just in standby mode. It should last about 10 days like that.
If not, either there is something waking up the CPU all the or the
battery is broken.

I know that it's difficult to not use N800 for ten whole days. I
couldn't do it ;)
