RUMOR - 3DS battery life holding out longer than expected?

I know a lot of people are upset with the 3DS battery life situation. Personally it doesn’t bother me, but for those of you that are looking for a ray of hope, this might be it. It’s a forum post from someone that said they went hands-on with the device. Take it as you will…

The guy in the shop (not the Nintendo guy with the 3DS) said it lasted about seven hours yesterday without needing recharging. They had full 3d on all day.

Obviously the system wasn’t being fully used all 7 hours, so that might have had something to do with the battery life holding out. We’re talking about almost double what the battery life was reported as. Sounds too good to be true to me.
