i was using on the Eclair firmwares previously but they weren't any better (before I tried Froyo which I thought would have solved my battery woes). I guess if I was using the i9000 as a primary device, I'd use the more stable Eclair. I'm going to wipe and re-flash (and not download any third party apps at all) to see how the battery life is.
At least this device is keeping me busy (and out of mischief) until the next device (like the Torch) is released that is!! Damn you gadgets!
ok, here is my suggestion, seeing you have flashing many times before, do the wipe battstat method, i did this after every flash, or a week or two of usage. and i getting good batt life, really good in my opinion,

Nope.. you don't need Clockworkmod Recovery for that. What you need just Root and Terminal Emulator.
The steps I've taken:-
1) Using Terminal Emulator, remove the /data/system/batterystats.bin
2) Turn off the phone and charge till full (the battery symbol fully green)
3) Turn on the phone and charge till 100% full.
And yes, the result is good. I still have half of battery after 1 and 1/2 day usage include about 45 minutes Papago GPS and normal network, facebook and game.
easier method: find root explorer or any explorer that can go into the system folder, then just navigate to /data/system/ and delete the batterystats.bin its the same thing, but still do the charging though, for my way, i charge until it full first, delete, then charge with turn on until full, turn off then charge until full,
reason for doing this: its no use what power you battery have, if it thinks it have less power, then it will shutdown, this is wipe the memory of phone about the battery, so the real power is shown. i say this greatly improve my battery.
another thing to remember is the usage, maybe you dont do calls, dont do sms or gaming much, but how about the data connectivity? wifi? how often you turn on your display, and are yous sure you off the gps or not. this suck batt as well.
ow, and do remember that your launcher also sucks batt, i've use LG optimus launcher and my phone only last half of the day, it sucks 5% or so in one hour
