True, I give my phone a LOT of hammer, it gets a lot of use. I sometimes need to top up at regular intervals in the day, and if I'm having a night out, I don't feel comfortable unless its topped all of the way up.
Best thing I did for my Nexus 5 was get a fast charger for it (like one of the Blackberry charges recommend on XDA - charges from empty to full in about 1hr20). That way you can plug it in for a few minutes here and there and it tops up nice and quick.
Next time around though I'll be wanting a phone that can confidently make it through a day without leaving you wondering!
