My best tip for you is GreenPower free.

That app is awesome to control wifi power.
I have mine set to 2 mins on each 1 hour, so now it is actually the screen using the battery, instead of only the wifi :)

I also use it on my phone with the same results.

And of course root and CleanRom2.3 is awesome together with Clemsyn kernel :)

The thing is if you're using your Tablet for the internet i.e browsing or video. Then this isn't viable

Since installing the stock 4.2.1 rom I get almost 2 days sometimes (with dock batt). As a rule I stream comedy.com and do browsing and some programming... that gets me about 30% before bed...

Actually, these "battery saver" apps are smart enough to know when you have the tablets screen turned on and it automatically enabled wifi if the screen is enabled, so normal browsing, etc won't be effected. These apps are mainly active when your phone is asleep, disabling certain things if the screen is off, etc.

Although, after spending days getting one of these apps set up perfectly on my phone, I eventually realized that the app actually made my battery life *worse* than without it!

I'd personally stay away from these battery saver apps....

Exactly, thats what I mean.

When in use these apps are not viable.

When screen's off my laptop is going into Deep Sleep fine since disabling Maps.

Weird battery stats

Well, not sure where to begin but I've noticed my battery level to stay at 100% indefinitely for the past few days (without charging) but docked. I thought "weird, but maybe they changed the charging algorithm when the keyboard dock was connected". Today my tablet crapped out on me - wouldnt turn on without it being connected to the charger. Still says 100% surprisingly

So I look in OS monitor, find out my battery voltage is 8mV :confused:
This is with the stock ROM. Would anybody like to post their battery voltage (I'd imagine it should be around 4V)

tl;dr
my tf700 battery voltage in OS Monitor is 8mV. Does anyone elses display something more proper?

So ever since I discharged it, until it shuts itself down. Charged it from %0 to %100 then used Battery Calibration app (Root needed) to reset battery stats. Now it seems to be lasting longer. Used to get on average 4 hours before that now 12 hours plus.
