Coming from stock 5.1.1, it's a little worse. I have a LOT of tweaks installed and for the heap loads of added features I have i think it worth it. I have a battery case just in case of I run out during the middle of my day, but it haven't come to that yet. These are just some of my tweaks that I have installed and a picture of my lock screen.

Auto App Killer, PushTone and Notification Enhancer aren't supported on 5.1.1 so that might be part of your problem? I haven't noticed any difference between 5.0.1 and 5.1.1 but I don't really obsess over the battery.

I have taken this into account and decided to remove them until they are supported. If the battery life gets any better i'll post it here, thanks.

PushTone works fine for me (iPhone 4S iOS 5.1.1)

I haven't noticed any real change from stock to jb but I'm not running too much stuff either. A few tweaks via SBS and running ISX too.

Today my battery life has been very good. This is where I'm at with 50% left.

Just wondering, do any of you know the current maximum capacity of your batteries? I know the stock is 1430mah but it reduces after a while. Mines sits around 1350-1370mah after a full charge, but I am currently calibrating my battery in hopes to push it back to 1400+ If you don't know how to get the number, download BatteryDoctorPro from BigBoss repo or battery info for notification center.

After following some steps, I have increased my battery tremendously!

1) Removed wether from ISX/Lockscreen and put it on Dashboard from Dashboard X

2) Removed notifications from notification center for apps that I don't get notified on a lot (eg. Instagram, Viber, etc)

3) Purchased iControl from Cydia and managed my network connections.

4) recalibrating battery (biggest battery boost).

To recalibrate my battery I basically ran the battery down to 0 until it shut off itself. Then I left it for about 6-7 hours (while I slept) uncharged until all the safety battery was dead. Then I charged it 100% and left it on for about an hour after that. My battery charge want from aroun 1340-1360 mah to 1395 mah in one night!!! If you repeat this for 3 days in a row it will renew your battery by a huge margin. I highly recommend it!

I don't see any drain on my battery since I JB. Since I stream radio at work all day, I still have to plug in at some point in time after lunch to get enough juice to last me until I get to the gym.

After uninstalling fullscreen safari my battery life is back to normal. This is after a day and a half, and I still have more than 50% left.
