post some screens of battery use.
mines pretty good. apart from the basics try disabling wifi/4g when your not actually using the internet.
Hercules was here
I tried JuiceDefender on the market (Free one) and I seem to be getting better bettery life.

Stock kernel on juggernaut overclocks. this offers better performance, but drains the battery faster.
How long have you been using the juggernaut Rom?

Give eugenes rom a go, it has a custom kernel. Ill post some screenies of my battery life as soon as I hop on a computer

WHOA it's rare to see someone say that the battery life is horrible in this forum. You should try a new fresh wipe and install, and try different kernels.
Try darksides super wipe then re install juggernaut ROM. Make sure not to run setcpu or any other cpu apps, I was having bad battery drain running setcpu.

Setcpu leaves a core on so I advise against it

i actually think those "battery saving" and task killer apps uses up more juice than saving ... i had juicedefender ultimate and i noticed my battery drain when it was enabled .. i deleted the app and ive noticed a great improvement on my battery .
Agree
I was also getting horrible battery life on the Juggernaut roms. I tried the bullet kernel, synergy, and faux kernels with all sorts of different ways to reduce battery consumption such as underclocking, undervolting, uninstalling bloat, and removing apps from startup. No matter what, my phone would always be dead by the time I came home from work/school (I'm usually away from home from 630am until 800pm).
I recently started using the DARKSIDE rom/kernel in the hopes that it would provide some better battery life and I am actually getting significantly longer usage times. As of right now after ~15 hours of time spent off the charger and with moderate use (~500 texts/day, XDA app, FB checking, random Internet usage), I have just under 40% battery life remaining. I must say I am very impressed with this rom and give the developer TDJ mad props.
So here's my battery life with Eugene's Macnut ROM:
Compared to this (Juggernaut 4.1 with ICS Ultimate Theme):
I run juggs with TDJ Darkside kernel, kernel makes huge diff

I am running Juggs 4.1 as well previously with the FAUX123 kernel and decided to try out TDJ's Darkside kernel. Wow, huge difference, highly recommend. I use system tuner app to adjust my speeds but main thing in system tuner app is to go into boot settings and set screen-off to powersave governor and max frequence to 800, 500 etc.
I also run easy bettery saver and that helps as well. Battery life is best I have ever had with my G2 and I got it first day it came out and have run most all of the rom's kernels on it. If you can I would suggest running TDJ's Darkside rom as well. I would but just don't want to reload again at this point.
DK
I'll try darkside rom and see if it fixes my battery drain problem.

Thank you for this, I wasnt aware of that, what do you use to change your clockspeed when your screen is off? I recently switch from an iphone and unfortunately battery life seems to be something I have to actually think about now. I know its a faster processor and a bigger screen so I get it, I just never had to worry about turning off wifi and things like that before. I currently am running beastmod 4.2 with darkside kernel. I have 9hrs on battery at 41% with 2 hrs and 15 min of display. Im not really interested in speed at this point so I thought setcpu was a good thing to use to underclock and use less battery. Can you recommend any good alternatives or should I not bother with setcpu type apps. Thanks in advance
On darkside... Not the current one but the one before it... I think it was version 1r2 or something like that. Battery is great, better than juggernaut. I have bluetooth and Wifi on all day

They gobble up a TINY bit more CPU (probably no more than 1% throughout the entire charge) at the cost of managing your data settings. It saves juice primarily when your phone is idling. It pings, it checks data thresholds. The main idea is that it turns off 4g/wifi when you're not using it, and back on when you are. This requires a little but of CPU, but you end up having a battery that lasts much longer.
There's never be a time when you're using your phone 100% of the time on battery. There's ALWAYS idle time.
Sorry the bad tittle guys, im just really frustrated with how fast my battery drains from just surfing the net . No videos just hanging around the forums.. I'm running ics fc22 stock rooted with fc 18 modem

Your screen brightness is too high and turn off haptic feedback. Btw screen love to rape your battery

I think its the FC22 modem. Obviously modems vary from phone to phone. Flashed it over Calk GB ROM and my battery life TANKED. Went to sleep with 30%, woke up with 4%, nothing in use either
Debloat out the samsung widgets and sprintware you don't used. Makes a huge difference. Check with John C for other battery saving tips.
thanks guys I just saw Calk released fc 24 Maybe that will help with the battery life?? cuz is ridiculous right now.

Are you using auto screen brightness? It is usually enabled by default. If so turn that off and set you screen manually. Personally I hardly ever need more the 25% brightness level.
Another tip, pick up Better Battery Stats on the android market for $2.50. You will be able to see right away your awake time vs your screen on. That way you can see if a rogue app is killing your battery life.
I hope you guys meaning "good battery life for an ICS build."
I'm still running Calk's EL29, and when I see people saying 40% use over 5 hours is great battery life, I feel like I'm in some Bizzarro world!
With medium use at 50% brightness (2 hours of screen-on, 50 texts or so, WiFi and GPS not disabled, 20 minutes or so of actual phone time), I find myself somewhere between 20 and 25% depleted.
Granted, my screen on time is mostly dark things... White on black Kindle reading, white on black text theme, dark background pic, etc).

Using my old HTC EVO for the weekend and I forgot how amazing it was for idle battery drain, must be due better more mature custom kernel.
Bad side though is I don't remember it being so fat and heavy! got spoiled by how slim and light the gs2 is.

WTF 15hrs thats crazy,.. im running this same ROM too but nowhere near that bat life it has improved a lot but unlike this..
um.. web browsing uses 2 of the biggest battery drains of any smartphone, the screen and the 3g/4g radio. there isn't much you can do to minimize battery drain during activities that utilize one let alone both of them.. even surfing on wifi is going to make your phone drain a lot faster

I have never found juggs to be a battery friendly ROM. It's a power ROM. Better for gaming, shooting live video etc. If you want the 15 to 20 hour battery some are getting then switch over to darksides ROM DIGITALWARFARE. It's powerful enough for gaming just not like juggs.
Also usage plays a roll to. If your gaming for 4 stright hours don't expect the phone to last that long because no phone will. Running Juggs with darksides kernal is kinda doesn't mix.

Download 2x battery from the market, it's done wonders for my phone and i use it with any rom i flash. Not to mention i ran that same setup for quite awhile and the maximum time out of a battery i've gotten comes using juggs 5 and v1 darkside kernel.
I'm running Juggernaut 5.0, with Eugene's Streamline kernel. I'm getting about 17hs. I'm also OCD, so I play, and tweak every setting possible. I game a lot, and usually get about 6-8 with that. It depends on a lot of factors though. I agree though, it's kind of an oxymoron to use Darkside kernel with that rom. They kind of clash.....I guess you could say, as far as battery goes anyways. I had the same issue when I used that kernel. Just my experience anyways. There's a lot of setups you could go with, so. Best to just test everything once, till you find your happy place.

what are you using? are you experiencing poor battery life as well?
Sent from my SGH-T989 using XDA
Your battery life also depends on a number of other factors as well. Do you have animations on or off? If they are on, turn them off. What brightness is your screen? I turn mine all the way down. How many widgets are you running? I don't use widgets. Is your phone constantly syncing with Facebook, Twitter etc? I only turn my sync on for Gmail and Google. Is your GPS on? I have mine off at all times. Do you stream a lot of music/videos? How many programs do you have running in the background? I make sure everything is closed or off except for the programs that need to be on. If I need to use a program/app I will open it, I don't need it constantly running shortening my battery life. Etc Etc.
I also recommend using the app Juice Defender. Yes it runs in the background at all times, but, it greatly improves battery life. I use it all the time and it's fantastic.
I typically have my phone on for 15-17hrs a day and by the time I go to bed I still have over 50% battery left. I am currently just on a stock ROM and not Juggs, but my results with Juggs were around the same as well, even with the Darkside Kernel. Peace

+1 I don't use juice defender on my device since I am happy with the battery life I get so far. However, I have Juice Defender on my wife's SGS2 with custom settings and her battery life has improved a lot. Before her phone would only last 10-12 hours with moderate use. Now she gets over 20 hours with the same usage.

I'm using aokp now but I found this to be the best setup for battery for me.

Juggernaut + synergy + juice defender on aggressive mode = awesome battery life.. awesome enough for you to have multiple MiniBaths. :banghead:

i never believed in battery calibration until two days ago and I have been flashing roms since the G1 days. I have been running Xtremeperia and was getting 6-8 hours max on a extended galaxy nexus battery so I decided to try a battery calibratrion app for the hell of it. I could not kill my battery on the first drain, it went from 7 am to 10 at night with 40% left then I tried to use a drain app to kill it and recharge, after an hour it had only gone down 10%. I said screw it and started the recharge at 30% cause I was tired. Give it a try...

Although CM's battery file has never been as good as stock' due to high android_system usage, it shouldn't be %44 in just 4 hours.
Install "Better Battery Stats" and see what is keeping your cpu awake.

Don't expect more with aosp/cm roms in terms of battery performance. I've tried various roms from carbon, Slim Bean to sentinel with all three kernels from Redpill, uneak and the stock kernel. I even tried to Greenify and I had almost no partial wake locks, and the most I could get out of it was 5hours screen time and maximum 12hours between each charge cycle. They still need a lot more. At the moment I've switched back to a stock based ROM giving me upto 7hours screen time on auto brightness and 24hours between charge cycle. And although, I lose all those exciting features from aosp, battery life is one of the most important factor why I got it in the first place.
