What have you encountered as your maximum battery life?
If the figure is hmmm too much, tell us what you used!
what do you mean? maximum standby time or usage? is it the milivolt? please elaborate
Around 1½ day i believe. But normally ill charge it at night where it has around 20-30% left
edit:
Usage: Music(+DSP), SMS, a few calls, Web browsing (2G/3G/Wifi). Dont really play any games but I do watch musicvideos sometimes which is takes around 15minutes.

Lmfao yeah that happens. But you can get Power Saver form the market. It really works. What it does is clock down the processor depending on what profile you set the app to.
Even though, today I haven't used the phone much and it's been discharging from 16 hrs and it's still at 60% (with Power Saver turned off). I've only used it for light texting today and that's it. 3G is what sucks the battery dry. Sometimes I use Edge only (2G) and the battery lasts me a whole day and more. The other day it lasted me a whole 24 hrs and it was still at about 19% left. I'm guessing the battery can last long or short depending on the usage.

But he didn't use it. Still it's a big drain at around 1%/1.5h, comparing with the x10 mini pro with 970 mAh battery which drains at 1%/3.5h....
Cyanogenmod for ace isn't that optimized for battery life.

With Juggernaut Rom, brightness turned down and web/wifi off I can literally get like 3 days almost if I'm not texting heavily. As soon as I turn internet on I'd say a max of 12 hours. The best battery life I ever got out of it was BeastMod, CPU underlocked to just 1ghz and brightness turned down. Even with web on, still got me almost 2 days - sync off.

Try using CPU Spy to see if you're phone is going into deep sleep properly.
That sounds like you got a bad battery, even if the phone is not sleeping it should last longer than that. I would reset to see if maybe your batt stats got corrupted and if that doesn't do anything see if Sprint will give you another battery to try.

Not bad at all for me. Of course it drops a hell of a lot quicker if you leave the screen on 24/7 but mine will still last 5-6 hours while listening to pandora over bluetooth and with the screen constantly on browsing the web. When not being used constantly it lasts a lot longer.
I have confirmed wakelock, started last night. I'm totally stock, no overclocking or anything.
How do I go about figuring out what's causing it?
Our you could just not use your phone. Then your battery will katy all day.
In all seriousness though, if you haven't already go to settings> wireless & networks> mobile networks & turn off always on data. You won't notice a difference in anything except your battery life will increase. Also, turn off automatic screen brightness & set it somewhere comfortable for you. All that brightness adjusting will drain on the battery. 3D movies, pictures & video will drain it as well. Also as someone else mentioned, check the built in real manager every once in a while. You would be surprised at some of the apps still running in the background even though you haven't used then in a while.
Just a few suggestions. If you have ashley tried all of this then wait until e can flash Roms & Kernels or buy the Seidio monster 4000mah battery.

So after 2-3 weeks of playing with stock ics rom which i update over the air, i decided to root and install custom roms. I flashed Speed Rom 4.0. However, I feel like that the stock ics rom battery is just better than the custom rom. My use of amaze for a day is 2-3 hours of listening to music, 2-3 hours of web browsing, 2 hours of gaming ( tower defense ) and that's when I come back home and my stock rom battery is left with about 30%. However, when I flashed custom rom, I notice that my battery drain faster than before and after a regular day of using I only end up with about 10% left. Anyone has insight on such problem like this?

I mostly care that my battery can last through a day. My NRG ROM will give me a day easily, with about 1 - 2 hours of screen on time over the period. A lot of it depends on the strength of the 4G cell towers around you (in my experience); the phone uses more juice when seeking towers. The latest NRG is pretty good at not "hunting" for 4G.
Yeah... Looks pretty common I guess for a phone that's screen was hardly on

1% for 2 minutes , 100% is 200 minutes which is a little over 3 hours .
it could be "normal" if battery dies in 3 hours more or less.

I know, for example now, I have 3 hours screen on, music and Wi-Fi, still has 38% battery, 38% can easily last 10 hours or so of standby with Wi-Fi or 3G. Which isn't usual for me because it used to be battery dead by now .

I have yet to have a phone that did not get improved via battery life from a custom ROM, even just a debloated and streamlined version of the stock one. Fully stock roms tend to just have too much crap on, and in, them to have wrangle out max battery life, max performance, or a truly optimal mix of both.
Using NOS underclocked to 1GHz undervolted 75mv across the board all set to conservative and 10 hours later 3+ hours of screen on data downloading GPS etc 60% Battery Remaining... Very nice

I'm getting 16-20 hours with around 4 hours on time. I'm underclocked and undervolted , brightness at 25% most of the time, and I just supercharged my phone so I'm waiting to see if that'll help it. I know I've got my standby battery drain down to one percent every 2.5hours. Left it off the charger last night and it was at 98% when I woke up 5.5 hours later. Just gotta play with the settings and tweaks.

I get good battery life most of the time. But I am at the ball fields with my kids a lot with no way of charging mine or my wife's phone.
So I got me an Anker portable battery and it saves me all the time. I purchased the Astro E4 13000mAh Dual USB so me and my wife can charge our phones at the same time without looking for a outlet or going to the car. We can both charge our phones 3 times each on this thing before its dead.

As far as battery life is concerned, wifi > 3g > 4g.
But if you're not connected to a wifi network, leaving wifi on will drain your battery. It may not be by much, but I always turn wifi off when I'm not on wifi.
