Default Excellent battery life with GB

My Tab has now been on for 10 days and still has 27% battery left! That's mostly just standby with around 3-4 hours of web/market/games but that is seriously impressive!! Well done Samsung!

Anyone else seeing results like this?

I assume by your locale being London, you have a GSM tab? I have a CDMA version and with 3G off, i can go 5 days easy, wifi on 24/7 and so forth. Impressed as well.

I'm on OldMacNut's GB v2 build and even though it's buggier than v1 for me..I like

My quadrant went from 820 to 1460. 2000 if overclocked to 1.2 using Tegrak.
battery life, I get about 10 hours with wifi on the whole time and w/o.c. Before I only got 6 hours stock froyo rom.

After I flashed the Overcome ROM over stock 2.2, I've also seen great battery life. I don't use the tab heavily each day, so it's about 4 days between charges.

No need to turn wifi off, it uses next to nothing in terms of juice.

Using the standard XWJP9 rom, but with the overcome kernel flashed to UV/UC it and I get 3 days of pretty active use out of it..
as a comparison, the Boca Heretic rom needed charging after less than a day..

Do you guys use your tab very little or something. I use my tab 2 hours a day on average. I guess that's quite a lot but it is my summer holidays.
