battery life

[hawkman21]

I am just curious how everyone elses battery life is on there phone. My phone has to be charged everynight. Just trying to see what everyone else is getting out of there phone.

Since I flashed the R4 Rom, I am getting outstanding battery life. With light talk time, moderate Internet surfing and exchange pushing emails to me, I get as many as 2 days with a 1500MAH battery from LION.

I charge every night because I never know how heavy my EVDO / Wifi use is going to be. Rarely will my battery fall below 70, but I won't let it sit over night not on the charger....

I recharge every night as a matter of habit. Never know what my use will be the next day.

My stock battery is pretty well shot by now, but my Seido slim battery will typically go 2 days with average use.

R4 seemed better than Unified on battery life, but R4's DSOD's will drain your battery pretty fast when it locks up.

I charge every night - during the day (on the way to work and home) basically anytime I have a opportunity to charge I do.

My understanding is with LION batteries, you should always keep them fully charged to get maximum battery life.

This matches mine as well.

If I have a 0 use day (other then the hourly check on 2 IMAP accounts) and the phone sits in a good signal area, it can be as high as 80%. My wife uses hers less, and it can be on standby with NO email check for a couple days and be in the 60-70 range.

Think it's time I replaced my battery. It's getting so bad that as soon as I unplug it from the dock, it shows 90% life. I admit I am a pretty heavy data user, but I can never make it a full day without charging my phone somewhere in the middle.

Anyone got recommendations for where to buy or what brand of battery is best? I'd rather get a slim battery since I usually store my phone directly in my pocket.

This is a good one (slim)

When I can buy four for that price on eBay, that's what I do.
I know they're cheaper and aren't going to last as long, but it's not 1/4 the time. I can also keep rotating batteries and always have a charged backup.

Mine lasts around 2.5- 3 hrs talktime during entrie day (a duration of approx 14 hrs) . If i use wifi for 30-40 mins... my talk time is reduced by almost an hour.
