My personal Rezound the battery life seems very hit and miss, today with minimal usage I used less that 7% in 4 hours, yesterday it was more like 20% with similar usage. I still haven't been able to put my finger on the battery drainer yet, but I will...
On my work Rezound, which has had less than 15 apps installed ever in it's life, the battery life has increased noticeably over Gingerbread, leading me to believe that ICS is not the real problem, but misbehaving apps is the battery drainer.
Will do... I have also noticed that Maps seems to be waking the phone a lot, and activating the GPS, and the amount of power it seems to draw for such a short time seems very high, will try to look at that too. Might try uninstalling updates and disabling for a bit, but it's usage seems consistent across both of my phones, and only one is having moderate, inconsistent battery drain issues, the other one I have noticed the battery life has increased significantly.PLEASE post back when you find it. I will do the same if I find any major fixes. I did find Maps was waking my phone often in the background with screen off but for minimal amounts of time at a time. And "media" ,whatever that is, is using the most battery according to GSam and "downloads" is what it's doing. I keep force closing but it opens back up.

I use the stock battery. I have often considered getting a second one as a back up, but never pulled the trigger. I think the phone is fat enough without the extended battery, and i thought it would be good to always have one with a full charge when it is most needed. I figured on just keeping the extra in my briefcase or my car, and not fattening my pocket.are u on stock battery or using extended
The superior screen of the Rezound makes the battery life not quite the best. It's one of the trade offs one has to make.
Google Maps definitely seems to be doing something in the background, not a real significant amount by itself, but compared to other things it's really high...Will do...
