Battery Drain while in Standby

Once I got my issue resolved a week or so ago I have been happy with battery life on the phone, but decided to give juice defender a shot anyways after reading the posts recently. I just downloaded juice defender beta. I will post my results after I have a couple days with it running.
 
Update since installing Juice defender. Day one 23 hours off the charger with 13% battery left. Currently 17 hours off charger and 64% battery left. Both days where light to moderate use, such as emails, facebook, websurfering and kids playing a few games while waiting for dinner. I think I'm going to really like the Infuse now that the battery is lasting more than 8-10 hours
 
Hands-down the biggest improvement factor for me has been setting the display brightness to the minimum level. On Sunday I got right around 24 hours of moderate usage. I gave it heavier usage yesterday (audio podcasts, angry birds, ~4 hours of locally stored video as well as youtube) and got about 6 hours which would not have been the case when i was getting ~6 hours of leaving it entirely untouched.
 
For me, turning off "background data" in account and sync settings has doubled my battery life span. Also keep display brightness on the lowest setting. Keep wifi and bluetooth off when you dont need them.
 
Juice Defender Plus does the job when the phones in Idle mode. My Battery has increased so much that I only charge it once over night now. Im in love with that program and its only been a short week.
