Battery app to extend already great battery?

I'm happy with the battery life - I get an honest 24-26 hours before 15% - this while using the phone a fair amount as I try to learn it's intricacies (1.5g in five days - with no video, music downloads, though dropbox did use about a third of that). But, great shelf battery life aside, is there a battery manager that can improve the life a fair amount - beyond what we can do by just doing the obvious: wifi, bluetooth, gps off...? Any favorites?
 
Hi

I use Juice Defender Ultimate (worked well with previous HTC Desire as well). In particular the auto screen brightness is customisable and works well. There is lots of control on when and where various radios are enabled. I turn off the built in power saver function and auto screen brightness as I think it conflicts with Juice defender and (when used together) lessens the effectiveness.

to the OP: are you rooted or non-rooted? I was just thinking of this! Mine is non-rooted and some of the features of Juice Defender won't work :(

I own and have tried Juice Defender Ultimate. It has tons of different options that you can configure. It has tons of different notifications and tons of ways to turn on and off your radios.

Here's the catch though... The new Android Jellybean (at least on this Note 2) doesn't need these battery savers.

I did my testing with GSAM battery monitor.

With all radios on and no Juice Dender on...my radios accounted for 1% battery use. With Juice Defender on my radios accounted for the same 1%....but the Juice Defender app used 6% of my battery.

So where is the benefit?
