USB and battery life with the current USB stack are mutually
incompatible.

I would suggest that you try HPS USB stack. I know that Hans and others
are working to give birth to a really clean, efficient stack, but it
won't show up until after 7.0.

Aside from not turning off on suspend, the current stack will never
allow your system to drop to any sleep state other than C1. This will
really kill battery.

You might also try adding 'hw.pci.do_power_nodriver="2"' to
/boot/loader.conf.

I simply don't build my kernel with USB and only load it when I need
to. This may or may not be practical for you. I do run the HPS stack.
