Ahh yes, that thing. Ty and I have had some recent discussion on this topic, but I thought it couldn't really hurt to open up the floor to everyone. Here's a couple of the ideas that we passed back and forth:
1) Change the description of the Belt of Battle to include this: "For each charge spent, the wearer takes 2 points of CON damage that is unavoidable and can only heal naturally."
2) Change the Belt of Battle to only be able to provide an extra Move Action.
3) Change the Belt of Battle's price to increase it's status to an Epic Wonderous Item.
Discuss.

So, the current consensus is that the Belt of Battle's description should now read:
Price (Item Level): 12,000 gp (13th)
Body Slot: Waist
Caster Level: 9th
Aura: Moderate; (DC 19) transmutation
Activation: — and swift (mental)
Weight: 1 lbs.
This leather belt bears a platinum buckle set
with three small black pearls.
A belt of battle helps you avoid being caught
off guard in combat and allows occasional
bursts of extra activity. While worn, it
grants you a +2 competence bonus on ini
tiative checks. This is a continuous effect
and requires no activation.
In addition, a belt of battle has 3 charges,
which are renewed each day at dawn.
Each time you activate the belt, one of
the black pearls set into its buckle turns
white. The pearls return to normal when
the belts's charges renew. Spending 1 or
more charges grants you an extra action,
which must be taken immediately (before
you take any other action).
1 charge: 1 move action.
2 charges: 1 standard action.
Prerequisites: Craft Wondrous Item,
haste.
Further more, if multiple items that duplicate this effect are worn, charges are expended from all these items simultaneously, regardless of which item was activated.
Cost to Create: 6,000 gp, 480 XP,
12 days.

I'm ok with this change. I never really used the 3 charges for a full round action before anyway, but I could see where that would be too much.

Should make it so you have to wear it for a full day before the pearls recharge. Should stop the munchkins.
