I get 2 days of normal use before recharging.
LOL!!! Well, that's the million dollar question, isn't it?
According to Samsung, about 600 hours (I'll save you the time and math - That's 25 DAYS!!!
), but the previous poster actually has it right.
Expect about 2 days of MODERATE use. But to that, take into account that playing videos and music, running apps, making calls, your phone syncing your accounts (E-mail, Facebook, etc) and powering the unit on and off, all take up battery life.

I charge daily. I couldn't make 2 days. I couldn't make 24hours.

Thank you for the replies, I'm very certain then my battery is 100% is faulty since my phone can't last over 6 hours considering I'm not syncing or using the phone at all

Batteries are cheap on Ebay, amazon. I would order one with a wall charger and have a spare battery around.
I have seen some on Ebay, up to 3000+ mAh. Stock is 2500mAh. One day I will go for one.

It seems that in order to make the battery last, you have to turn all the cool stuff either off or right down.
I have my screen as bright as it goes, my Wifi on permanently and when in the car I have the bluetooth on and GPS.
My phone is rarely far from a charger so in the car, at home and in the office, it is plugged in. When I'm in the pub with Data enabled, I reckon the battery lasts about 6 hrs.
These guys that get 2 days use out of a single charge.... I'm sorry but those guys are not enjoying the Note for what it was designed for....

That's true. When I'm camping, I can make the phone last for days on airplane mode. But you're right, all the nice widgets and live wallpapers and stuff eat battery really fast. I was contemplating getting one of those batteries with the gigantic covers that's like 5000 mAh. But this thing is a tank already and I would lose my otterbox commuter case.

It's all about finding a balance that works for you. If you are away from a power source for most of the day then maybe a power hungry smartphone isn't right for you. Something more basic and less resource intensive might be better.
I'm fortunate I think, I very rarely run out of juice and I batter my device but it's usually plugged in
