A team of researchers from Purdue University and Microsoft has discovered that up to 75 percent of app-related battery drain in Android can be caused by ad-serving processes.
The study further contends that the ads don’t have to use up that much battery life, they’re just coded poorly.
Wow. Android is awesome.

The article talks about how the advertisers can make their code more efficient, but there is no incentive for them to do so. Cleaning up their code won’t make them any more money.
