For you users that have had the time to run a lot of different ROMs and Kernels, what has given you the best average battery life? I know a lot of this is relative but regardless.
I've tried liquid and BAMF and didn't find much of an increase over stock life. For each one I charged to 100% and used it for a ~17-20 hour period and compared. I've also tried a few under volted kernels.
I cleared all the caches and wiped battery life stats too for each rom.
+1. I think imoseyon's kernel might be working best for me with a max of 1.2Ghz but I haven't done that much testing.

I totally agree with you on imoseyon's kernels. His newest kernel, the 1.92, running at 1-1.2 Ghz is super stable/responsive but has, at least so far, given me improved battery life as well.
As for the rom, I'd have to go with either BAMF or Tesla personally.

Okay next charge cycle I'll try imoseyon's kernel.
Right now I'm back to debloated stock and running adrynalyne's undervolted 1GHz and seeing a bit of an increase in life.
Imoseyon's leankernel is doing it for me. I am using the stock rom with it and my battery life is better than when I was using the stock kernel. It is by no means a miracle worker but the improvement is very noticeable.

Am using bali now and it gives great battery life, but it is not as smooth as say... overstock. Is there any kernel which gives a balance between the two?
ones gotta give
Not sure what you're seeing but smoothness you're talking about probably has more to do with the rom than the kernel. If you flashed both kernels I'm sure you wouldn't see much difference between the two without the boot screen.

Did you try the overstock UV kernel? You can find it here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=967861
It is the Overstock 1.5.2 UV download, it is designed to save battery life. You can also try SUPER_DragonMODz ULP, another battery saving kernel, here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1049894
I literally just got onto the bullet kernel from Bi-Winning, and it has the smoothest i've noticed, but its only been a hour or two since i got on this rom with the kernel so... idk i cant say about battery right now.
I have to say, be careful with SUPER_DragonMODz kernel... For me it almost burned up my phone. Phone was just sitting on the table when I sense the burn The phone was hot as hell...
All dragonmodz kernels are great I ulp has amazing battery life, oc and normal both give me great battery life too with no overheat for me, wayyy less then bullet (has much higher voltage settings) just don't use any setcpu profiles (except for 400/100 screen off) and I suggest conservative govener

could try overstock 2.4.1 then OC to 1.2GHz, havent been on project v but my battery was ok with that on other roms
or could try dragonmodz and OC to 1.2GHz, that might have better battery than overstock, havent tried it but people on his thread say they have quite decent battery going up to 1.5GHz
just play around with them for a few days each, see which works best
I'm running TigersBlood3.22 OC to 1.2Ghz and I'm gettin average battle life.

DragonMODz kernels have the best battery I've experienced. Followed by Bali 1.8.6UV.
Sent from my SGH-T959
IMHO, DragonModz are awesome kernels, they have all flavors. They have the "Standard" version that its the intermediate between performance and battery life, then they have the ULP version that boosts the battery life, but takes a little of the performance, and last but not least, they have the OC version wich is oriented to performance...battery life is ok with this one, does not suck, but it isn't as great as the ULP/Standard version or Bali's UV.
I have tried several kernels, and i think that my phone was the happiest with DragonMODz.
i have found, for my phone at least
bali UV = great battery life ( 15 hours ) moderate use
bulet 1.48 = great performace ( 21 mflops & 7 hours ) moderate use
overstock 2.4.x = good balance

I have to add that im an moderate/intense user. Im on WiFi 37% of the time, i use lots of intesive GPU using apps like Gameloft's HD games, N64/Gba emulation, i listen to music around 46% of the time and im using Project V until GB gets fully functional (GPS) wich seems to be very soon.
IMO, the best option if you want great battery life and great performance is to buy a 3000mah battery and use an OCed Kernel.
Thanks bro great info. I appreciate all the help with this thread!

Bali UV has the best battery life I've seen , after 16-17 hours of moderate use (WiFi, calls, 3d games) i still have on average 40-45% juice.
Anybody have some advice for the best kernel to run with this ROM?
I came from Das BAMF 1.7 with great battery life and speed, but the TH craving had me moving to 2.06 remix. I love this ROM, but I have two issues: slow battery charging and my battery life is way down. I wiped stats after flashing and rebooted during charge. The charge got a little faster but I have to do that every time. I read the threads in development section and it said it could be the governor or the kernel, any advice?

It should have come packaged with imo's 3.0.1 test 1 lean. They'd the kernel you need to use.

Try plugging your phone in and rebooting it. It should recharge fast then. There is a bug that cause the phone to charge slow until you reboot it.
I have done that, but I have to do it every time. A bigger concern is the fact that my battery is draining twice as fast as 1.7. Any advice? I love this rom, but I need better battery life.
BTW I changed governors, but no improvement

I've tried different kernels and I have found that being overclocked has hurt my battery life. I think that this phone is snappy enough without being overclocked to 2ghz. Have people found the best battery life with the stock kernel? I'm still new to this...any help and opinions will be very appreciated!
So far I'm doing better than stock on the viperRom setup

The problem is you're OC'd to 2 ghz. Most people have reported this as an overkill and it really isn't too stable, if you use set cpu and set up some profiles you will get great battery life. The processor in our phones is clocked at 1.5 to begin with, im currently on joel's rom with the remix kernel oc'd to 1.7 and getting amazing battery life, but i wasn't getting good battery life with the viper rom. I mean everyone's experience is different.
Just find something that works for you, tweaking to your liking is part of the fun with android man!

First things you should do is set a screen off profile. That will be awesome for your battery life. And you can get set cpu here for free on xda or get it in the market to support the dev
And we're here to help man!

there is only two so try one for a couple of days to see which one is better for your phone. you need to go through a couple of charge cycles to get a true test.
use myrt from the market to uv.

I have the 1.3 kernel for Joker on CM7 with it UV'd by 100 and I routinely get 15-20 hours off of the battery with moderate usage no complaints here.
Thanks for the feedback, now testing -100 uv'd, i noticed that 3g-hdspa in GSM kill really faster the battery, anyone noticing that too?

I have the same kernel. Using myrt I ubdervolt everything to -100 but after I apply changes the 1.3 setting goes back up to Max.
Any ideas?
