Default Cupcake battery life: The final verdict
I have seen a lot of conflicting reports out there, so I decided to set up a poll...

For all you cupcakers out there, have you noticed any difference in battery life?

It's hard to say, because the honeymoon period for my G1 is over so the battery life has improved more and more as I am not just messing around on it for no reason at the moment. I would say Cupcake has not made a significant difference

The battery life for me has got significantly worse...the charging takes a lot longer and I think the charging is a little out of whack. When I have it charged for an hour or so, I notice the percentage going up every 5-10 minutes which is way too long for a single percentage. At times, it'll be at 82% or so and when I reboot, the battery percentage goes up to 100%. I have no idea what the deal is. I've also noticed me rebooting the phone a lot more because of unbearable lag. This is all with me doing a wipe before upgrading and getting apps to sd...

The lag could be due to an installed application. I noticed that the "ongoing music adapter" causes significant lag for me after using it to listen to podcasts.
