No: I have both bluetooth and wifi enabled (and autoconnecting to any
known access points).  My tablet is normally not discoverable over
Bluetooth, for security-by-obscurity purposes.  The battery life is
normal: if I don't use it the whole day, it still shows 100% in the
applet.

I've heard that there are some wifi accesspoints that don't support
power savings properly, and make the tablet use much more power when
connected.
