Default battery life?

To all SGS2 owners,
Can you tell me how long this device last, generally use and talk time?
Some sites indicate it has 8 hrs talk time but others such AT&T itself, BestBuy, Costco do say it only has 3 hrs talk time.
So is it only 3 hrs?

on OEM battery: 10 hr and 30 minutes today and still at 74% medium usage

as for talk time i dont talk for hours and hours so i dont know lol but i can make all the calls i need and have plenty of juice.. i recommend using a cutom ROM like unnamed to save battery

on the extended 3500 battery: i got 41 hr and 30 minutes and i was at 19%

62% left after what I consider heavy use. E-mail, GPS, Wifi always on. It's a work phone so multiple calls during the day.

I'm using Unnamed ROM and even updated the ROM today to the latest version on battery. (hence the dip in the graph )

This device gets excellent battery life, especially after you root and freeze useless apps. Alternatively, just install UnNamed ROM.

Mine is bone stock with nothing more then Juice Defender. Tons of app's Medium use my best is 2 days 1 hours and change. Heavy use, Streaming 4-5 hours, lots of talk time and text with surfing with mail was my worst at 10 hours 48 min.

I am VERY happy with the battery life!

That is because you phone is awake 80% of the time according to your screenshot. If you want to improve battery life, look for the app that is causing it to stay awake.
