These battery life questions are being asked all the time. Try looking around the forums a little bit and see what people have to say.

All the ROMs you will find will have the same BASE battery life (since they are ALL based on Samsung code [except CM of course, which has worse battery life as of right now]). Here are the factors that DO affect it:
apps
gps/bluetooth/wifi
low signal
kernel
Obviously the biggest eater is the screen. No matter what you do, you'll get a max of around 2 hours display time (that is, 120m of the display being turned on).
The next eater is data. Apps that refresh themselves in the background are notorious for eating battery life. Twitter apps, facebook, or widgets that update automatically are the first thing to look out for. I believe they all default to automatically updating or something.
And if you use the stock voodoo kernel, that will give you the best battery life out of all kernels available.
I get about 4 hours of display being on with the lowest brightness setting. Stock battery, 2 hours is very low.
Yeah I have the brightness as low as possible. Im only getting 15 hours, and I've heard rumors of up to 20 hours with some roms. Any body know any good gingerbread mods with good life?

White's version of gb will give you better life. CM7 is 12-14 hours with poor standby time.
Best battery life will always be axura.

if you want battery.. Its always been either axura or nero/bionix
Battery life is entirely too subjective a topic to get hard data from.
- People running different roms
- People running different kernels
- People running different modems
- People running different background services
- People knowingly or unknowingly running apps that create excessive partial wake usage. Or not running them as the case may be
- People with widely differing signal levels, which vary from area to area
- People with different screen preferences (insofar as brightness, auto brightness, animations etc...)
- People with Vibrants a month old and Vibrants nearly a year old. (i.e differences in battery degredation)
The only way to get a quantitative set of real data to work with would be to painstakingly eliminate all the above variables per case, which would mean (at this point) dozens or even hundreds of dedicated test scenarios.
I've recently ran Bionix, Bionix Frost, Trigger, Sweet Honey, Atriarc, and Darkys (yeah I get bored a lot...sue me ). I've yet to notice a significant enough degree of difference between any of these in regards to battery life, running the stock apps and services I always run. Enough to notice? Perhaps so, but only if I were going through my day with a stopwatch (which would seem a bit anal). Enough to care? No.
I'd rather just use my phone and say "screw you guys I'm going home!"

Nope.
Any 2.2 or 2.2.1 build will never have that its integrated into gingerbread and as far as I know you cant just copy and paste..
But there are alternatives such as a app someone made that locks your phone using the search button and shows the tv out animation
It really just depends on how you treat your phone, I text a lot, and only check xda and I get about at least 19 hours Stock kernel, and now I'm trying out Tigersblood kernel, and I undervolted my cpu clocks, and set setcpu profiles in Setcpu, and downloaded Superpower from the market (turns off data when screen is off) and monitor about every other week which apps I installed are eating my battery (if any) using System monitor, and I should atleast get about a couple more hours ;]

I'm a new Galaxy S II (and new Android) user, and am a bit disappointed in the battery life of my new phone. It was running down extremely quickly yesterday, only lasting about 12 hours with relatively normal use (sending half a dozen texts, downloading 2 apps, checking Facebook and Twitter once an hour or so for a couple of minutes throughout the day). I allowed the phone to discharge completely and charged it fully last night, but this morning nothing seems to have improved. I burned up 10% of the battery in half an hour sending 2 texts, checking my emails, Facebook and Twitter and downloading and trying out a couple of apps.
I'm anxious to know if there's a bit of a burn-in time with the battery on this thing - does it get better after a few charges? I see a lot of people saying they can have the phone on for a few days in some cases, but that's definitely not my experience thus far.
I've installed JuiceDefender (balanced profile), AutoKiller Memory and Advanced Task Killer to try to sort things out but none of them seem to having too much effect and to be quite honest I'd rather not have to compromise my experience by running a number of apps like this to try to extend my battery life at all (nor do I want to have to turn the brightness right down to an unusable level, or set black wallpapers for example).
Does anyone have any real advice on this? I'm starting to think that switching ROMs might be worthwhile? I see that the leaked 2.3.4 ROM seems to have better battery life - is this correct? I'm a bit reluctant to switch to any other unofficial ROMs as there are so many I wouldn't know where to start. It seems they all make a lot of changes but I'd want to keep as close to the stock feel as possible, just with better battery life.
no one uses stock roms/kernels nowadays. u should flash a custom rom or kernel since they provided optimizations to batt life.

It is argued that task killers and memory killers will only make the problem worse. Juice Defender might be useful if you are using it for scheduling sync and turning WI-FI off when the screen is off, but this feature is only present in the Ultimate edition and you can turn off sync and WI-FI manually if you want. Also beware of rogue apps which are syncing all the time. It is normally the main reason of poor battery life.
Other reason, is that whereas powerful tech specs for phones were rapidly developed, battery technology didn't followed the pace. Our simply batteries cannot cope with our beasts.
Also, there is a thing that it's called "new phone battery blues" which is described as poor battery life due to excessive use of a new powerful toy. After you use your phone normally, for the purposes that normally people use a phone, your battery life will became better.
That said, personally I have a spare battery and a spare charger, and when the battery being used is low, I replace it with the charged one. Sometimes it is necessary, sometimes not.

They also have a tendency to look very tacky I think though. I think Samsung's skin and widgets are pretty nice and don't care too much for the mods I see in the screens of most ROMs. I'm really looking for something very similar to stock, except with better battery life if there are any suggestions? That's why I was thinking of just jumping to the leaked 2.3.4 if it had any noticeable impact on battery life...
Try using better battery stats, link in my sig, to see if you have any wakelocks, the thread has a good howto on using it.
The biggest thing that uses the battery on this phone is the screen, you will get between 4 and 6 hours of screen on time depending on usage and screen brightness.

Fair point - not all of the roms are everyone's cup of tea. My advice, as a starting point is to flash the stock XXKH3 variant for your area, and then flash a custom kernel, such as Ninphetamine's or Hardcore's Speedmod. This will greatly help with battery life, and also give you the ability (via root access) to use Titanium Backup to freeze apps and services you're not using, which is often the major cause of battery drain through 'wakelocks'; apps that prevent your phone from entering Deep Sleep, or continuously wake it up.
Update to the latest version in your area, uninstall those task killers and whatnot or do a factory reset, install the apps that you are going to use normally like facebook twitter and install better battery stats, decrease brightness to your most tolerable level.
use the phone normally and when the battery is low, use the tool provided in android to check if your phone is sleeping when the screen is OFF, if you are having wakelocks, then use better battery stats to find which apps are causing the wake locks.
No need to install battery management apps, or task killers or memory optimization apps (or as custom rom as yet), that would only compound you problem which may be a very small one to begin with
Thanks for the help so far guys. I've installed XXKH3 and flashed hardcore's Speedmod kernel, and am just getting things set back up the way I like them again. I'm going to uninstall the battery saving apps for now and see how the battery lasts the next couple days.
I'll install Better Battery Stats and keep an eye on any wakelocks too.
Thanks for pointing me in the right direction - it was all very simple and quick to get set up; the sheer number of kernels, ROMs, etc. is all a little overwhelming to me right now, being new to Android!

wow, good for you
I used HTC Desire before this device, and the roms on there actually hindered battery life, even with all the fancy underclocking, so I am betting, without even attempting to brick my phone, that they are just as overhyped on this phone too.
I get two to three days out of my phone, using it as a PHONE. I can send and receive emails and texts all day, along with phone calls and the occasional browsing and still get at least two days before it dies. I turn off data when I dont want it and stick it in 2G mode and it dares me to kill the battery.
Just let usage settle down and it's fine

That is wrong. I used to have a UGKG2 ROM and since I upgraded to XXKH3, the battery is MUCH better while the GPS pinpoints in less than 3 seconds with a 5meters accuracy.
What is currently, in your opinion, is the best ROM, as of late?
I'm currently using the latest of Bulletproof. Flashed it, wiped battery stats (It was at a 100). Lasted me _roughly_ a day. It was off a few hours.
But, I'm wondering what others are like.
Primary things I look for :
Faster/Better Performance overall.
Longer-lasting Battery.
Thats about it, and I know those two are pretty much contradictions, cause the better the performance, the faster your battery drains (or atleast, how I comprehend all this..)
Any suggestions are really appreciated Thank you.
And to all the developer's - Keep on doing what you're doing. I'm quite impressed with the current ROM selection. I know there are issues with S-Off and what not, but, to see as many ROMs as there are in here, that is quite nice. Great job guys!
Install Beastmod and if you don't like appearance and functionality, get a Go launcher and install it.
With the Beastmod you get about 3% battery consumption with 8 hours standby

Yes you need to do both. Most, if not all, ROMs come with their own kernel that must be installed so that everything in the ROM works correctly. You flash a rom through recovery and then use fastboot to install the kernel. A lot of the current ROMs come with a script that flashes the kernel for you though, so it's not a big deal. (Other devices that have S-OFF can flash the kernel directly when you flash the rom, which is one reason why we want S-OFF so much, so possibly think about donating to the cause).

You'll know it works by not having any problems. I believe the kernel overclocks it for you, but OCing lowers battery life, so it kind of goes against what you originally wanted.

I've tried almost all of the roms here (except bulletproof) in combination with stock and faux kernels. The best combos I came up with for battery was BeastMod and 4th Bar with stock kernel from BeastMod. No matter what I did with faux kernels (OC, UC, Undervolt) I could never beat the battery life of stock kernel. Good luck and keep us updated.

For the limited time I have been on kernel and Rom there is been no significant change in battery life.
The phone is faster that is for sure.. that will drain battery
faster but I a running less widgets and no live wallpaper that I normally rock.
The deal breaker for me is that the sound remains on when you close apps/games... and stays on even when the screen is off.
I will give beat mod a try with a stock kernel.
from past week my phone is discharging very quickly and I changed different roms but no use and my battery stats is proper and I think my battery life has gone .....and should I replace new battery ? if so which battery fits properly .....as I stay in India no vibrant here .......but i9000 is there.........
If calibrating doesn't work then your battery could be bad. Other than vibrant the i9000 and topic touch 4g batteries work with the vibrant. Try ebay or amazon for cheap batteries.

Also, what rom are you running? I'm asking because if its anything JB, I wouldn't expect much in terms of battery life.
Also, what kind of usage does your phone get on a daily basis? Are you a light or a heavy user?
What kernel are you running? Which i/o scheduler and Governor are you running with?
OC? UV? The more info the better my friend ^^
