sorry.

My rom has one of the best battery life reps out there.
I found the battery life lacking when I flashed from 4.45 to 4.8 also, but after letting the battery run all the way down till the end the first night, it's been amazing. It's been 3-4 days since I upgraded, and I've found the battery life yesterday and today to be much much better.

I unplugged my phone today at 10am -- it's now 4pm and I'm only 1 bar down. On the first day I would have been down to 50% by now.

It could very well be that the ROM flash resets the battery level calibration, and you need to run it all the way till it's dead so that the phone knows how far the battery can go before dying to make the battery meter more accurate.

Edit: I've also installed SEVEN (push client for email) for 3 email accounts, which in theory should cause more battery drain than normal polling.
