Stock battery and run from no signal to about 3 bars around the house. I am in a remote area and am on the very edge of 3G. In a few spots the signal drops and on others it jumps down to 1x.
I have no problem getting about 48 hours of stanby if I don't toucht he phone, and about 24 hours if I use it normally. That is with data on, 2 email accounts set to push and no battery apps or anything like that.
Make sure you are keeping GPS/bluetooth/wifi/4G off when you are not using them. Just get a toggle toolbar like Power Toggles to put on your home screen.
Also make sure there is nothing installed that is keeping a wake lock and preventing the phone from going to deep sleep. Mine gets uninterrupted deep sleep on the battery info except for when push emails come in, then it shows a small spot where it woke.

During a 12-hour shift and a Laza battery, I have about 9 hours between 0 and 1 bar with frequent dropped signal. About 3 hours of full bars and browsing. And I leave work with ~55% left.
Bluetooth/GPS on, wifi and 4G off.

Stock battery. Mobster ROM.
Right now, at home, I have approximately 3-4 bars.
When at work, I average 0-1 bars, due to the building construction.
outside, full service.
So really, my battery life fluctuates. A day I work, say 8-430. My phone comes off the charger at about 7am. By the time I get out of work, my battery is approximately 60-70%. Just depends on how much I do with it while on lunch and whatnot.
Day off like yesterday, my phone was off the charger at 7am, and when I plugged it in at 10pm last night, it was at about 64%. So I can average approximately a day to 1.5 days, depending on usage.

its pretty well known that if you are in a good signal coverage area, your battery life improves significantly.
in low signal areas the phone is constantly reaching out to ping towers and maintain connection.
if i am forcing data usage through my 3G connection at 1-2 bars at home, my battery drains in 2-3 hours.
but if I'm at my friends house where he gets full 3G and 4G, i can stream videos and use the data for hours at a very slow battery drain
