8-10%/hr in active use (wifi, network, normal usage), .2%/hr in standby.
Running rooted stock, about 12% simply reading a book with wifi off. I have it overclocked (1.0G, conservative) now, but that has made no difference in the usage. If I'm actively using it (playing a game, etc), I get considerably less out of it, although I haven't checked that since overclocking.
Personally I think mine sucks a tad on battery.
Average battery time: 6-8 hours of active use
ROM/Mod running: CM7 build 19 currently
Overclocked?: to 925 with the default kernal
streaming gives me much less time, but watching video on the device doesn't drain it too badly. If I"m offline just reading, it lasts a good amount of time.

Which ROM is the best considering Battery live ?
Thanks.
There is a real nice chart in the captivate general forum thread called battery showdown, still a work in progress, but a good place to start.

So far Twingerbread has had great battery life. Plus it works really well.
I'm very happy with Andromeda 1.2.
see my signature ... i got more than 24+ hours for a single charge.
the best i can have is 3days with supernova and suckerpunch kernal OCed at 1200, but with light use (almost 2 hours of screen on and about an half hour of voice call)

I don't believe that for a second. Captivate 2.1 Stock loses 15% battery just from cell activity over about 6 hours. And a half hour voice call would suck up about another 30%

I lose about 15% for 30 min voice call, 1% for 1and half hours of standby, and 1% lose per 4 mins of time on (i mean screen on). however i have problem with sukerpunch in wifi connection I have to go to setting/wifi to open the wifi connection
I'm using phoenix ultimate and currently @ 33% 25 hours unplugged. Light to moderate use.

That is pretty insane. Are you UC/UVing the crap out of the ROM too? I'm running Precision 3.5 and I get at MOST 28-29 hours a single charge but I'm a moderate to heavy user. Maybe if I was a light user I may squeeze another 5-10 hours i suppose...but nothing like yours...

I am going to decond that, since I am a moderate to heavy user as well. However, i would like to put in a good word for DG's Cognition 4.1.1. Battery time is better than most that I have seen.........except in my case (having power issues with my suckerpunch kernel at the moment).

I've been using Juiced 2.1 for a few days. Very happy with battery life and speed. I get about 27 hours in standby.
I have only used a few roms (various versions of cog, percep, androm, paragon and twinger) over the last couple of months and my best so far is twinger. I don't use custom kernals or modems or whatever, as it is uploaded is how I use it. I keep everything enabled and updating, have plenty of widgets and 100+ apps. Heavy/Moderate/Light, not only is it relative I don't waste time worrying about it. The most important thing for me is to use my phone as it was meant to be used without all the fussing over settings and make it through every day no matter the useage and no matter how early or late I get home and the only one to last longer than me has been twinger. I rarely use GPS because no matter what I have used, it sucks, even plum bobs fix, freakin samsuck!

Using Dilligaf's 7.0.1
Stats in screenshots
35% left after over 1 day 7 hours
Still on the replacement battery I got in Sep '10.
Why do people dwell on battery usage? Use the phone lightly and there isn't much usage. Use it more and there's more usage. Have GPS, WiFi, updates, etc running non-stop and it drains even faster.
During the week with fairly low usage, I recharge every night with between 60 to 70% remaining. Then from Fri morning at 700 am until Sun evening at 1100 pm (64 hours) it'll be down around 20% remaining. BECAUSE I rarely use it on weekends, GPS off, auto-rotation off, WiFi off, no texting/email, maybe 1 or 2 phone calls.
Been roughly the same with all three ROMS I've been on (Andromeda, then Di11i's, now Darky's 9.3 Extreme)
Even though it is still beta, I seem to have the best battery life with CM7 and TheEscapist's kernel overclocked to 1.2ghz and UV'ed. Gingerbread should use less battery life than Froyo so maybe this shouldn't be a surprise.
60% after 17:25, moderate usage. Cognition 4.1.1 with Speedmod's K13c and KP1. Animated screen saver, gmail synching, a bit more than three hours of onscreen time, including surfing, music player and games.
This is so different from Cog 3.02 and earlier, when I was lucky to squeeze out 16 hours total, and the phone burned 10% of the charge in 5 hours when idle. Now it burns 1-2% when idle, and KP1 seems to burn a bit less battery when I'm actively using the phone than JK4 did. And, oh, yeah: everything works! I couldn't be more pleased.
I've been reading a lot on these forums, and no one has seemed to address ways to improve battery life on the LG Revolution. I just got this phone a week ago and I've been averaging 13 to 14 hours of battery life with moderate to heavy use (applications, e-mail, texting, etc...).
Anyone have any tips or tricks to improve the battery life besides rooting it?
Is it worth rooting it now with Gingerbread rumored on the way?
Thank you all in advance.
personally..GB isnt available with Verizon yet..I would look for any leaks or anything that isnt officially supported..unless you wanna try it..turn BT off..use wifi when you can..turn screen brightness to 50 on the bar..try to look for battery saving apps on the marketplace..just a thought

I just got the Decrapified Rom on mine today, and am seeing some decently better battery life.(i used to get ~12hours anyway with some heavy usage)
Also...when I rooted and customized SetCPU a bit I saw much better battery life. I was able to clock down the CPU when the screens off, or when the battery is low, etc.
Just some thoughts for you

This helps battery life? I always thought wifi drained battery. But your saying wifi drains less battery than 4G? What about 3G?
Check your apps as well. I was watching my battery drop a percentage in literally minutes. I thought it was just the phone, and that I had to live with it, but in my case it was Go Weather!!
This app is EXTREMELY bad - drains battery insanely, and even when you configure it, it keeps popping back up in the running apps and goes to town draining your battery.
Apps like that can make a somewhat average battery life turn into an insanely bad situation.
13 to 14 hours with moderate to heavy use???
I'm lucky to get 10 hours without any use. I let it sit on a table overnight, and the next morning it was down to 28%.
After using Samsung stock ROMs for over a year I finally switched to CM7.1(Stable) last week. But the battery life I'm getting now is not as good what I used to get with Samsung stock ROMs. With JVT I easily got 24hrs, but now I cant go beyond 15hrs with same usage patterns (3G during day and WiFi at night, few short calls and around 50 SMSs, with a bit of web browsing and some online audio streaming). Did anyone else notice a similar battery life drop going from a recent stock ROM to CM7.1 ?
I ran the CM7 nightlies until recently and came back to JVT because of battery life and the hello hello bug. I use my phone as a music player for most of the day and find that stock ROMs hardly deplete the battery at all, with CM7 I was getting the same sort of life as you.

For me, CM 7.1 Stable drains battery a lot. I've changed to JVP modem and it seems to be a bit longer, maybe I'll try with Fugu kernel.
Looks like I'll be going back to JVT. Idling battery drain is way too much. For example I charged it around 8 last night and by 12 noon today, battery is down to 45% mostly just idling and few texts. This is as bad as original eclair release came with the phone.
I personaly dont find there to be a huge difference but i am on Bell which is HSPA only (3G all the time)
i find i always have to recharge by 4 pm (8 am wake up) but i am a heavy user. I am waiting for my extended battery so i can make it through a day.

What was the last stock ROM you used ? I used to get similar battery life with earlier ROMs, sometimes I had to charge it twice in a day depending on usage. But with recent ROMs (2.3.3 and up), I ever hardly charged it twice, despite very heavy use (more than an hour of calling , GSM/VOIP, about an hour of internet audio streaming etc..). IMO stock ROMs are really good at idle power consumption, I have managed to get 2 days with light use, a full day with moderate use and more than 10hrs with heavy use.
EDIT : CM7 is smoother and quicker; I also like the customizability. I’ll again give it a try when ICS comes out , but till then I'm back to Samsung Stock, because poor battery life simply kills the experience for me. Perhaps I can squeeze couple of hours more with some tweaks, but I doubt it'll be as good as JVT.
I myself have come back to 2.3.5 xxjvt cos coming from cm7.1 and darky 10.2 final..i should say stock rom can have a standby time of more than 24hours believe that..otherwise ics might have a lot more to over than gingerbread
Sent from my GT-I9000 using XDA App
I hope when ics is released by cyogenmod battery life gets better this is why ive not updated to 7.1
Hello U all.
Can somebody give me a link to the CM7.1 stable for i9000?
Thank you.
Hey all
I'm happy with my phone, currently running wiui on it
I wanted to hear whats yours longest battery time ?
What ROM and kernel was used ?
Mine personally is for now 17 hours on a normal workday
running on stock 2.2 ... with miui (the last version) I had 6-7 hours :
I am on Django 0.5 with HP RC-11R and i am on 29% presently after 2days 14hrs...with mild to medium usage with little wi-fi, small usage of 3G and voice calls medium.....I am greatly happy....it all depends on how you keep the battery calibrated, system usage, charging cycle pattern and a few more....
It was almost the same with Topo's ROM, Blazing Dragon and also Thanatos 5.1....so it is a bit of care and great magic from our developers....
Hats off all you guys who are making LG O2X such a entertaining and stable device.
medium use (3g on, mail, facebook, twitter, google +, movies, some games, video calls) : 6-7hrs
hard use (wi-fi on, mail, facebook, twitter, google +, movies, lots of games, video calls, messeging, some apps, gps) : 3-3,5 hrs
Stock 2.3.4 20L
with medium use (3g always on or wifi if available; 30 min surfing; few smsing (around 10) and calling (30 minutes); no gps; 30 min gaming) leads to around 24 hours of battery life
I'm really happy with my cm kanged by temasek (#30) and vadonkas kernel (#12.jan)
kind regards

I did not know that Topo was doing CM7Kangs for LG O2X.....does he? can you give me a link?
With low use (some textmessages and 15min gaming, 2g and wifi) i get around 30hours (HP kernel v20o)
I once lasted 4,5days when i travelled to france. I don't know how but the battery life was much better over there. (stock v20b)

Im running 15 hours on latest WIUI ROM
really want more hours.. tired of charging every evening and night
Realistically 15/20 hours is about right for a smartphone nowadays. Unless companies start making phones a bit thicker so larger batteries can go in them.
Unless you really edit the phone, underclocking etc, you wont be able to push more than 1-1/2 days out of the phone.
Can I recommend better battery stats app available either on the market or on xda. Helped me discover a few apps that kept running (partial wakelocks) all the time and therefore affected battery life.

I just envy the iPhone guys... I'm repairing iPhones in my spare-time, and the batteries arent any bigger than ours (1500mAh)
but they last 2-3 days, because of the way better battery management and optimized hardware
But when thats said, I would never leave this open-source world !
just look around, all the ROMs and free stuff we can get, they cant Muhahaha

My record is 2d 6h with Juice Defender, 3G on, managed by the app. But the lag caused when unlocking the screen is killing me.
ROM is v20m
with cyano 204 stable i do about 20 hours with about 40 messages, 10 minutes of gaming and 10 minutes on wifi and about 5 minutes of internet with 3g
Around 48 hrs. I didn't used it that much that day...:b Stock rom.
4 days with Gueste 2.1, 10min calls, 2G, 30 min wifi, some messages.
When I rolled back to v10h, I was extremely amazed by the ram consumption by the rom, it was so low that its basically twice the amount of free ram compared to AOSP/CM & Stock(or like zaiben) JB.
Is there any possible explanations?
Also I get no annoying wakes thus my battery consumption of a 10 hour sleep is 1% only! WOW.
The battery life is absolutely terrible in any way I tried, so I tried doing it last night and boy was I amazed.
(though the 2-3 mins per % is still quite there and gaming battery life is still bad)
So any chance do I get that amount of RAM and battery while using AOSP/CM or Stock based?

Ignoring all the other questions - which you really should read and search, rather than opening yet more threads about the same things ...
Free RAM is wasted RAM. You need to remember that Android is based on a *nix kernel, which is massively different to Windows. Android will use as much RAM as it needs to and will free space up by killing apps if, and only if, it has to. Unless you have less than about 50MB free RAM you shouldn't worry about it.
