I'm thinking of flashing one of the new jelly bean roms but I was wondering what kind of battery life you guys are getting with them? I'm getting 16-20 hours on my current rom and am just wondering if I can expect the same from the jelly bean roms.

I'm running CM10 9/20 and my phone loses less than 1% of battery an hour while idling. So you should expect great battery life if your experience is anything like mine.
Battery life is excellent (CM10).

Are you referring to incubus Jellywiz or rem's tasteofbeans? So far for me its about the same as stock ics rom.
Reason: no (stable) custom kernels for these yet

I had crazy good battery life on stock TW (ICS), being able to go 3 hours idle and only losing 1%. On the new JellyWiz it's not even close, losing about %5 over three hours of idle time, but I'll trade for the nice JB features
I will say that these phones for me at least drop pretty fast to around 70% but after that I get home after 8 hrs with pretty heavy use at lunch and it maybe dropped 5-10 percent. I use it heavy at home and always put it on the charger with at least 30% left before I go to bed - which is always at least another 8 hrs. Unless its dropping really fast at idle and keeps going past 70% I wouldn't worry about it. CM10 is the same as stock or better concerning battery life.

touchwiz is a little better on battery life compared to aosp...both are good enough tho.

I realized there hasn't been a topic on this for the Skyrocket. After experiencing the bugs on ICS roms I needed to find a rom that will get be as stable as a rock. I am currently using NexusMoD GB 4.3 and I find it to be very good. My battery life on it has been OK not that great. It seems to me that the ICS roms where running just fine for the most part for me, even battery life was decent, but I had weird bugs where I wouldn't receive SMS or Calls, and my texts would say they sent but they wouldn't even actually send. This would happen at random times even though it worked most of the time. Any favorite stable roms guys?
I found the mhx superlight GB release works great and has good battery life.
for me stability and battery mod on status bar were my requirements and mhx achieves both.

SKY ICS
For me it is the most stable. Great Battery. GPS works great. Camera is fantastic.
Sky ice works really well, the battery life for me was 60% better than stock. Running latest ics leak now, more stable but battery life is down (compared to sky ics).

+1 on MHX-SUPERLITE 3.1 GB rom.... best battery life on any GB rom I've run... never had a S.O.D.... no FCs... very stable and fast. Average 6hr "screen on" time with 18-20hrs on battery time. This is with JD disabled.
Stock.

For my money, Sky ICS has been extremely good.
I've been using the same ROM you are using. I've found that battery life has been pretty consistent among all the ROMs, which is to say sadly, not very good. It works pretty well overall with just a few hiccups here and there. I have had numerous issues with various ICS ROMs. I tried 3 of them (including SkyICS) and they either didn't run well, or in one case it just plain didn't work at all. That's why I went back to a GB Rom. YMMV but if I were you I'd stick with your ROM until ICS gets a formal release and see what the community does with that.

The only thing wrong, is camera is colored weird not useless. YouTube works fine colors are wack. I got the first R2 release. Not the second one that broke wifi. And really the rom is fairly stable considering it isn't meant for att sr

I love me some Nexus mod gingerbread. I will probably go to ICS when the official kernel gets released.
Great question to be asked again even if for the 5,000,000th time. I am DJ ICS fan, hands down most "stable" and it is very fast with great battery for a 1.7ghz rom.

I've had my beloved skyrocket for about 5 months now and have flashed/used about 12 ROMs. Pretty much across the board, battery is god awful. The latest Sky ICS by SeanZ seems to improve battery by roughly 20% on my specific handset. Overall battery is pretty shabby.
Reason for this question is because I'm currently on the lastest leak ucle2 and my battery life is horrible. I would just flash and try it out but not completely comfortable with flashing roms. Any input would be really appreciated. If this topic has already been brought up sorry. I searched maybe not enough.

Battery life has been a present issue with the ICS leak so you are by far not the first one asking about this. My suggestion would be try out either CM9 or AOKP and see if your battery improves any because in my experience, I got much better battery life on CM9 and AOKP over any other ICS ROM. To flash is very easy just follow the directions in the OP and you will be rocking in no time at all
Great battery life on GB rom

This is my battery life with Sky ICS 4.2E-6. Light usage, strong cell and wifi reception. Probably could've been better if I uninstalled Kik and Line (they seem to wake up the device very often).
Usually, it's much worse during the weekday when I'm at work, where my cell and wifi reception both suck.
I ended up flashing sky ics and I have to say battery life is definitely amazing over ics ucle2 leak.

Best battery life would come from one of the debloated stock roms most likely...but it also keep in mind not every phone reacts the same way as others do to a Rom...one person may get amazing life on one...while another gets terrible life on that same exact one...

I've been running legend rom for the past 2 weeks, been great.
before that I was running the unofficial cm9, that was awesome-only problem was no bluetooth.
that's what I was on before this. I am actually thinking of switching to something that has Bluetooth for the time being until they get a patch on RemICS. Its the only downfall!

Although development had stopped, Zeus had the best battery life for me.
erytherm cisa).
Zues was pretty good,except I had SOD issues several times a day, wiped, reinstalled, re-downloaded, went back to stock, rooted again, reinstalled, nothing seemed to fix the issue
For me most of the bigger gb roms all had good battery life. (legend, aeon, zues, emacipation).
One of the best roms ive used as far as battery was actually dman's catyrom. With pretty heavy usage.
But ive found out that using better battery stats to track down battery hogs is a must for any rom.

Energy ROM and of course.. other stock based ROMs have the best power management available, you know, engineered by HTC

For me, cm10 gives better battery life than stock Sense. I think it depends on how you use your phone.
I'm using Baked too, but for me battery life is just great! Actually on 57% with 8h 27m and almost 1.5h screen...

Of course rooting for battery is a good idea. Undervolted & underclocked kernels, delete bloatware that's constantly running, etc. And as far as best battery life, baked has been very kind to my phone.
A typical day for me (7am on phone for 2-3 hours reading the news before work, music to/from work, light usage on breaks, then hotspot at home for internet, and all the calls/texts in between and countless downloads) will leave me with 20-30% battery when I go to bed around midnight

Does anyone know the difference between beanstalk and CM 10.1's jelly bean battery life?? Because i just got beanstalk yesterday and it's been draining my battery pretty quick so I'm thinking about switching back to CM 10.1 to see if there are any differences in the battery life..
I don't think there are any differences to be honest.
Beanstalk is based on CM10.1 with some extra features.
But I still recommend to try as many as different ROMs possible because it might be ROM but it also could be your old battery.
My battery is new and it is still bad. So I can see if it's older and worn out battery, must be really bad.
By the way, ice cream sandwich and jellybean have worse battery life than gingerbread.

I get better battery life on JB than I ever got on GB. And I'm still on my original battery.
I replied to your other post though with an app that could help. And by the way. After daily driving both cm10.1 and beanstalk, the battery life difference is not noticeable.

I left Carbon because of the sizing differences between 260 and 190 DPI, and the home key did not work, although the battery seemed amazing even though it was just after a flash. I didn't have much of a chance to test as I had 38% battery. Ill try Beanstalk now, right after I clear some space
