Most battery conserving AIM, MSN, (maybe Skype) client...

So which one is it? I've been using Fring for the video chat feature, but I hate the amount of drain. I'd like for it to be Skype compatible but I can do without. AIM and MSN are my main clients. It also seems to be quite buggy. Something lighter and less draining in battery would be great.

Are you using this to video chat or just IM?

I've had outstanding results with Meebo, and it lets you have all your accounts on one screen with one log in, at the same time.

Been using Meebo but it keeps disconnecting me? I guess my 3G isn't reliable enough? It would be nice if it reconnected, but it doesn't seem to be the case. I also don't like how it keep listing Offline buddies (who needs that). Finally, has anyone tried AIM+. I know it isn't free but I hear good things. Is it lighter on resources? What other alternatives are out there?
