I have been doing some tests trying to see how much battery life I can squeeze out of the Optimus V. Here are my previous posts:

What I want to do in this thread is get some real world data. If you want to help out here is what you can do:
Total battery life = ( [Time since unplugged] hr * 100) / (100 - [battery level %] )
So for example, if you have 20hr 4m since you unplugged and your battery is at 72%:
Total Battery Life = ( [20+4/60] hr *100) / (100 - 72) = 71.67 hr
Try to use up at least 25% of your battery before doing this calculation.
Next I want you to post your results here in the following format:
Total Battery Life =
Kernel =
Rom =
Min/Max CPU =
Governor =
Data =
Data Sleep Policy =
Voip =
Usage =
Kernel and Rom you can find in Settings -> About. Min/Max CPU speeds and governor can be found in your Overclocking app settings, or in CM7's extra settings. If you don't over/underclock, just write "stock". For Data, I am asking if you primarily used 3G or Wifi during the test and if 3G or Wifi was set to turn off when the screen turned off. For Voip, I am asking if you use a voip client tat is constantly registered. Under Usage, I am looking for light/medium/heavy and a rough explanation of what that entails. Here is an example:
Total Battery Life = 71.67 hr
Kernel = Xionia v010
Rom = RodimusRom
Min/Max CPU = 806/806 Mhz
Governor = Interactive
Data = Wifi
Data Sleep Policy = 3G and Wifi never off.
Voip = Yes
Usage = Light: Surfed the web a bit, but mostly on standby. I do have the firewalls installed so that only Gtalk, Google Voice, Email, and CSipSimple can access the web while on standby.
Thank you for helping out!!!! Please try to keep the chit chat to a minimum. PM me if you have questions. Post as many sets of results as you'd like.

What I want to do in this thread is get some real world data. If you want to help out here is what you can do:
- Charge your phone up to 100% (preferably after you have done a reset on the battery gauge)
- Unplug your phone from the charger.
- Use your phone like normal making sure to not plug it back into the charger.
- After some time (the longer the better), go to Settings -> About -> Status and write down the battery level percentage.
- Now go to Settings -> About -> Battery Use and write down the time since unplugged.
Total battery life = ( [Time since unplugged] hr * 100) / (100 - [battery level %] )
So for example, if you have 20hr 4m since you unplugged and your battery is at 72%:
Total Battery Life = ( [20+4/60] hr *100) / (100 - 72) = 71.67 hr
