I'm using 2.3 and my battery is great. Lately I've been needing to charge it a lot but I've also been using it a lot lol
If you constantly use your phone there's not a whole lot we can do to help you

I just replaced my esteem. When i rooted it, i made a backup!
Then i flashed the ROM of my choice. Immediately i deleted Facebook and maps apps. Both are constantly communicating, by definition they are using the 4g radios, and therefor the battery. Radio use Is the largest battery draw on your phone. Followed by screen on.
Then i installed my favorite widgets, a clock and a power widget. This allows me to turn of data when not in use, as well as a number of other things that use much smaller amounts of battery. Screen brightness, screen rotation, and i turn off haptic feedback altogether. I set all the refresh times i can to 24hrs. Then refresh when i want to know.
For me, this effectively doubles my battery life for both large and stock batteries.
I use my browser for most things like Facebook. Everyone uses their phone differently, you'll have to experiment for your self. I get 7-10 hours out of a stock battery, and 16-25 hours out of a cheap Chinese 3500. I also carry a couple of charged batteries with me at all times to swap out with. But i don't have have a desktop/internet connection at the moment. So i would consider my usage as high...
Hope there is something useful for you in there!
Have a great day!
