My wife really likes just the stock evo but she wants the best battery life she can get, i dont mind flashing a rom thats not stock but i would like a similar rom but with the best battery life.

Whats the best setup for that?

Rom?
Kernel?
Scripts?

I want to get her atleast 18 hour battery life.

I did the same thing for my wife.
Currently I have her running on....
Mik3D B1
More Freedom 0.8.5
The latest 08.08 radios
SetCPU 1152/256

She gets a full day out of each charge 8am to midnight. She typically has moderate to light usage. Stock battery.
 
Ill definitley try that out thanks! , ive also heard that cm7 setup right can give extremely good battery life is this legit?

i got 2 full days without charging running CM7 and a tiamat kernel.....light to moderate usage....but i think lubberlick is right and im using is words here, if the (BLING BLING) is gone then your A** is grass lol....all i see is you trying to fix problem and making it worse by taking sense away and you might not like the outcome of that decisions haha....good luck bro :D

i was on 8....although i dont think you really need to run the script with it cuz its super fast as is....but i was running it when i went almost 2 full days without charging...

also was running Tiamat v4.0.6-sbc and Tiamat v3.3.7-sbc kernels and both were giving me good battery life

Don't sbc mess up your batterys ?

well supposedly, over time it will degrade your battery's life span, and im sure it will be over a long period of time...although i've never seen a lifespan stated, i cant imagine that you'd have to buy a new battery every month or two... but batterys dont cost that much to replace....sbc kernels charge your battery to its FULL 100%....like if your using a regular kernel your green led will come on when it says you have 100% charge, which is not true...you only have like a 90% charge, thats why your battery drops so fast in the first 10%...with an sbc kernel, you'll notice when your charging it, that when it hits 90% your green led will come on but it will charge another 10% give you the full 100% charge your battery is capable of....
 
Another cool thing about CM7 with tiamat sbc kernel, you have no need to have or install setcpu to have underclocked, battery saving profiles.

It comes setup with what is called a smart ass governor that mimics that feature. it is in Cm settings under 'performance' where you can tweak it a bit.

Adds to the battery life as well.
