Post what hardware version and your kernel results.
Current rom is optional but not required
I believe there is a pattern to our battery life depending on what hardware type we have and that we can figure out how to get the best battery life we can if we can chart what kernels act/behave better with the hardware.

Im running hardware version 002 and the modded HTC #15
Batter life is about 8 1/2 to 9 hours light use

HW 0003
Currently HTC 15 modded and tweaked by Caulkin
Previously HTC 17
Both get similar results with 5 - 6 hours up time and battery will go 20 - 24 hours if I leave Angry Birds alone.
I want to add that nothing worked well for me until I downgraded my pri from 1.90 back to 1.77.
I tried all of of the Ziggy and Netarchy kernels and they never came close to the 2 I use.

This won't work unless you require a lot more information.
You would need to define your usages, firstly. This is very important, as your "light" usage might not compare with other people's.
Also, this would be a little more empirical if you required screens.

That's a great idea and your right light usage for me on a adverage work day might not be the same for everyone but that's horrible battery life for me.
Wifi is off (my job doesn't have wifi) bluetooth off, no phone calls, about 5mins of xda app, and 15mins of general searching the web on lunch when im connected to a wifi hotspot my battery life doubles I get about 14hours with the same usage.

The image speaks for itself, but I'll add some info. I have a SetCPU profile for screen off that sets it to 245 min and max, and I haven't been using the phone hardly at all the past two days. Wifi has been on the entire time.
Normally, after 8 hours of light use, my phone would be dead with Android System taking up about 40% of the battery, and the three radio entries taking up about 16% each.
I've been using CyanogenMod 6.1.1 since the day it came out, with it's built-in kernel, not Pershoot's. I've done nothing else custom. The only thing that I can correlate with this change in battery life is a new version of SetCPU came out a couple days ago.
Or maybe it's just an unrelated fluke, and tomorrow whatever battery-eating bug exists in the system will rear its ugly head again. I dunno. All I know is I've never seen battery life like this on my G2.
101% yaaaaay I can add

Screen not even registering as using any?
most of my usage is screen for 60%+ (maybe 2 hrs on)
and 15~18 hours tops!
You still geting great battery life I have the same setup and battery life is average not as good as 6.1
I do not mean to highjack your thread but I have a question. For the cell standby power consumption, what is registered as the amount of time with no signal? I am in a full HSPA+ area and it still tells me that 50% of the time my phone has no signal, how is that possible? Thank you for your responses.
I managed 56 or 59 hours once and the display wasn't on the list either. I mentioned this in another thread but it was generally ridiculed and dismissed
i lose about 50% of battery with hspa on during a 8 hour shift. Of course random facebook and texting is going on.
I noticed an improved battery life with the unofficial Gingerbread builds. Did Google finally get it right?

That has been my experience, though I'm still stuck using the stock HTC sense since I updated to 1.72 before rooting.
Whenever I check battery use, the Display is ALWAYS the highest consumer, by a large margin. I usually see 60-70% Display, and the cell standby, etc are only a few percent. Now I'm really upset I can't root it for the forseeable future.
Did you just not ever touch the phone at all? I mean, the display isn't even listed!!?!?
As I said, I was barely using the phone at all.
Right now I'm at 95% after 10 hours of non-use. I don't remember this ever being possible in the past.
Even when I actively use the phone (at least in the past) Display would never be very high. Android System was always #1 with the radios beneath that, and Display somewhere around 6%, as I recall.
In the time it took me to write this post mostly in Swype, I lost 2% so my crazy battery life seems limited to the screen being off (with the corresponding very low cpu speed). Still, it's never been this good before.
lol the title is hilarious just had to say

I bet the lcd being not used plus wifi instead of 3G is the reason. Plus, I think it's witchery not wizardry, lol! Maybe both... whatever they are both hilarious! Ah, the days of yore!
Ok, so there was a lot of discussion in Z's FreeX10 thread regarding whether it improved/worsened battery life, so I am running a little experiment. With the aid of Juiceplotter I ran for a few days on FreeX10b4, and then on the stock(ish) Rooted JIT 2.1.A.0.435 found here.

Beta 4 Over 24 Hours
Beta 4 Zoomed in on a period of use
Stock .435 over 24 Hours
Stock .435 zoomed in on a period of use (not the same day as the first image)
Typical use is just web browsing, not games or videos. It certainly looks a little steeper on the Beta4 graph.
Tomorrow I'll flash to the previous baseband and repeat for beta3 vs. Stock. If anyone knows how to make the pictures smaller I'd be grateful... I know how to do it in HTML but I've never posted anything in PHP before!
26/02/2011 Ok, after much delay I'm now running .49 baseband, flashed using Zhidhu's pre-rooted 2.0.2.A.24 found here. As some in the comments have noted, results seem to vary wildly w.r.t. battery life, which is why I thought I'd run tests on them all using the same handset and the same usage (i.e. mine) which should eliminate most variables.
Mine is the best it's ever been personally... Seems like results are extremely varied.
I get a vary of result for example today it has used 49% of the battery in 4 hours o.0

I totally agree! My x10i may last even 3 days with moderate use of data and wi-fi, barely 1 if use it like it has to...

Sent from my X10i using XDA App
I think there may be a bit of a battery or power glitch. My phone has stopped charging a couple of times, once at 74%, the other at 92%, and the battery has got quite hot. A swift reboot sorted it.
Generally, I think FreeX10 may be a bit heavier on the battery, but it's really hard to tell because it's so much nicer to use compared to the stock ROM that I think I'm using the phone lots more than I was :-D

I had some woeful battery time with Freex10Beta3, but then yesterday it was fantastic - sure, I wouldn't get 3 days out of it, but I could have pushed 1.5 easily...
Trouble with battery life is that it isn't an exact science (should be), but it seems you can change nothing, and have some drastic improvements. Or hardly touch the phone one day and it's dead in no time.
My X10 since new always drains my battery in one day, it's not a hardware problem, since i got a replacement, and then a battery replacement, i wish we could improve the batttery life a little more
i'm on BETA4
I'm not gonna say my battery life has been amazing lasting for weeks or anything but ive had no problem with it. I mean it lasts more than a day or maybe more than two with relatively light usage. And if I'm constantly on it I can drain it in 8hrs but I never drain it completely. And I've seen consistent life over the roms I've used as long as the flash was good which sometimes takes a couple times. My mom has one and she uses it only sparingly and it lasts over a week so in reality for having a computer in your pocket the life is not that bad. Besides do you really need to update your twitter status every 6 minutes??

Nice Idea.
Personally I found that the battery life on Beta 2 was better than Beat 3 and 4.
Is is possibile to add it to your test?
Also the only only diffrence between Beta 3 and Beta 4 is the Baseband...
That's really what I'm testing... however I haven't had time to flash back to the old baseband yet. Real life tends to interfere...

Using Bitsnacker's 2.1 ROM on .435; no data, BT, GPS and STILL a strange battery leak I can't seem to trace. F.Y.I. also using SetCPU and AutoTaskiller, and a few Sysctl tweaks, so I may have created conflicts in my ignorance....
I've had a couple of times, since using b4 a weird thing where I plug it in and it drains really fast down to zero while charging. Rebooting seems to fix it though.
If it happens on b3 or stock 2.0.2.A.0.24 I'll know it's a fault with the handset and not a software issue.
Well, one of the threads is "More than Meets the Eye" and is RLS 5 and as far as I can see supports 4G. Yet, last time it was updated was quite sometime ago.
The more recnt one is the one I'd assume would be better and faster and more preffered. Buuut, I don't see that it supports 4G, and its RLS 1. I don't have any idea what RLS means, but I'm just trying to figure out what the difference is...
Thanks guys!!!

Right, I was just on Synergy but my battery life was really bad, even with that power saver so I switched to try out MIUI again. Hadnt tried it since it first came out. Anyways, I still don't think I quite grasp what the difference is between More than Meets the Eye and Yabba Dabba Doo.
myn's warm twopointtwo is based on stock evo software (froyo, outdated software from december btw). it's an oldie but a goodie.
synergy is a project with like 8 devs on 3 phones that is a sense 3.0/2.1 gingerbread mix. it is (in many people's opinion) the best rom for the evo ever. battery is bad because htc hasn't released kernel source yet, so no kernel battery saving mods. bug htc on their twitter for them to release it lol.
I guess battery life on Synergy is a matter of your phone. I get good life out of it, I can easily go 24 hours with normal use and I leave BT, GPS, 4G and wireless on.
Some report that it needs to settle in, how long did you give Synergy?
dkdude, love your carousel and widgets for Synergy. Have you given any thought on trying to get landscape to work? Just asking as that would be da bomb! Anyways, thanks a lot. (Sorry for the hijack)

How much did you actually use your S2?
My guess is very little, look at the power use ratio of screen vs. cell standby, they are almost the same. Right my phone is 57% display vs. 3% cell standby.
This looks like barely open SGS2, no wifi , barely touched...

Exactly, posts like this are tragic in my book, oh look how many hours i get, anyone can get that if you don't or barely use your phone.
Wow what a pointless first post.. Congratulations on not using phone..
Anyone could get battery life of xxx hours if they never use there phone, it's the screen on time that everyone cares about since generally people with such amazing devices rooted and pimped can't put there phone down...
I get 4:30 hours with CheckROM 4.0 and DK kernel, all values to stock... and that's with playing games! My battery is the stock one.
I guess with minimum brightness, underclock and undervolt and no games i can get 5+ hours but I wouldn't count that as normal usage either.
i charge mine everyday and always excited and looking forward to charging.

Fantastic....
If you wanted to buy a phone you aren't going to use and then brag about not using at all for 100 hours maybe next time you could review this?
Would make you look a fair bit less ridiculous, you would have got the same use out of it and would have saved you over £300...
The only great thing about having such a great battery life and not using your phone is if you end up losing it, which is unlikely if its lying there on the side all the time.. At least you know its bound to stay awake for a few days so you can send over Plan B and locate it. Funnily enough I went on a cruise this year, start of November and after 5 days of no use (being in the middle of the Ocean n all, i went to grab my phone from inside the suitcase to find it was still turned on, (i swore i turned it off) and the battery dropped no more than 40 percent. Was amazed to find it last so long, especially as i've not got the patience to leave it dormant for so long.
keep your galaxy off and the battery usage could be increased to a year lol

This post is similar to "Hey look at my mileage of the car that is parked in the garage".

battery problem
Hey guys, i've upgraded my Wifi Xoom to ICS EOS Team nightly 55 and since then my battery drains like crazy while wifi is ON.
Also i think my wifi wont turn off when i lock my xoom.. i can see in battery managment that wifi bar is always blue even if screen is not.
Should i try another nightly?
i'm on cm9 and the battery life is fine .. i haven't tried eos yet so i won't be much help .. does cpu spy(market) show your proc as sleeping?
Cpu seems to be in deep sleep while xoon is locked..
I've always had a great battery life with my xoom except when I used Netflix on HC, either stock rom or tiamat. If I was able to get 5h00 of netflix out of a fully charged battery I was happy. Now with the ICS EOS rom I get at least 7h00 + some browsing time. It made a huge difference.
from the very first day i bought my xoom whenever i select the sleep when screen turn off option from the WiFi it changes back to never and now m using ICS still have the same issue still can get 2 to 2 and a half day with the issue
Battery life seems about the same of Honeycomb to me. But I have the Xoom since Christmas and I switched to EOS nightlies very soon.
With heavy use I always have about 8 hours of screen on.
Now I have 27% after 2d 19h 26m with light use: mails, some internet navigation, some pdf, wi-fi always on during the day
THis is my battery usage.. afte one day the battery is at 6% with only 2-3 hours playing some games (without wifi or cpu High usage).
Look what happens when wifi and screen is on!
I'm on EOS nightly 59. In 1 day 18 hours mine has 9hrs of usage in Android OS. But I've really only used my Xoom for aboutn1 hour and 20 mins. Strange.
got 23 days of standby almost 0 use on stock honeycomb
running the same usage test on stock ICS
14 days and Im at 58% which would mean a rather sizable improvement if it holds true on a full discharge.
