Energy Rom is very pretty, but when I've tried it, it absolutely kills the battery. Try NFSfan's rom's, they're fairly good on batterly life and also contain a host of features. Calkulin's roms look great and strike a decent balance on battery life and have a few more apps included, although the battery life is not as good as NFSfan's. In the tools folder in Cal's. rom, there is another folder called battery, make sure you run the battery saving cab in that folder.
Other things to keep in mind:
1)Push e-mail takes a lot of power
2)Using your phone excessively will kill it quite quickly
3)Using the browser a lot (or any networking app that uses data) will cut down the battery life.
4)Any program that is CPU-intensive will kill the battery quicker.
I guess the point is this, don't use Energy ROM if you want battery life and use the phone and it's features in moderation if you are not hooked up to a charger.
To put it into perspective, I get 14-18 hours of batterly life with MSN always on, Myphone set to sync once a day, push e-mail active, and moderate usage of the phone (playing a few games, a few calls, texts, the browser a few times a day). If wanted to, I can use my battery up within an hour (try running a torrent application and wifi router at the same time if you don't care about your battery
).
