This doesn't explain why the Samsung Moment has awful battery life (mine does as well), but it does clear up some non-reasons.
The battery is fine. It's the battery meter that's giving you incorrect readings. The battery meter tells the phone when to turn off the keyboard back light and when to shut down, prematurely.

I used to get horrible battery life but after installing a new kernel (with meter code written by numus) my battery can last 2 days with light usage and 24 hours with moderate to heavy usage. Read the posts in this thread by numus and it'll become clear.
