Infuse isn't much different than other Android phones, the principles are the same.
Google and read.
My take - It's like a budget. The only one who can tell where your money is going is you. And you'll have to do a little work to figure that out. I'd recommend GSAM battery monitor to watch what is using your battery. Then take action based on what you see.
I have had a variety of different things that occasionally (not always) jump in a zap my battery.
Sometimes leaving wifi on out of range of wifi kills battery.
Sometimes leaving GPS on kills battery.
Sometimes data kills battery.
If you really don't need them when you're out and about, leave all three off. Just turn them on when you need them.
Sometimes there are programs that keep your phone awake when it should be sleeping (wakelocks). Google Maps is one that can do that. You can disable Google Maps autostart using Gemini Apps manager (it'll still run when you want it, just won't auto-start at boot... so when you reboot you're clean until you need it... and a reboot every few days isn't a bad idea).
Some programs occasionally go rogue and suck battery at a large rate after you close them. Dolphin browser has done it for me.
GSAM will help you identify these. It will also give you a feel for how much is going to programs and how much is going to display. Turn down the brightness will of course save. Also personally I usually use black wallpaper using free program colorwall. Occasionally I'll turn it a different color for change of pace, but usually black. That helps the icons jump out more and saves battery. The opposite extreme would be live wallpaper... awful.
By the way, there are some other options. Buy a $5 Infuse battery from Feipusi on ebay. Swap when you're in a pinch (requires reboot). Or if you don't want to reboot, you can carry around an external powerpack which are sold $30-$100.... plug your phone into the powerpack when you want to recharge phone the day, plug your powerpack into the wall to recharge it at night. There is also the extended battery for Infuse that requires a bigger back case.. I'm not a big fan of that.
