Me it used to be 2 days max but I prefered to recharge every evening to be sure I wouldn't be caught off guard the next day.
BUT ever since I've followed some advice and did an OS upgrade, then completely discharged the battery before recharging I can get 3 days esily out of it, even 4 if I'm careful...
So how bout you guys?
[EDIT: forgot to mention that usually I have it in 2G mode and WiFi and BT are turned off, and moderate use with OEM battery...]

I wish! I went from OS .75 --> .113 -->.122 and I'm lucky if I make it through the day with average use. I may have to let the battery drain then do a recharge, but normally I plug it in when i jump in the car and then at night when I got to bed.
I get almost a working day because I use it constantly and I have BT and WiFi on all the time. It's fine by me,I have chargers at home,at my office and in the car. Without intensive usage i think I'd easily get 2 days.

Are you asking about the Bold's battery performance? This is the Bold section after all...
Or is this a generalized question directed at all BB owners, which should be in the general discussion are?
With my Seidio 1650mah extended, I get about a day and a half with extremely heavy use. Hundreds of texts, constantly chatting on BBM, e-mails coming in and going out, etc. With minimal use, I will easily get 4-5 days out of it.
Mine will start warning me of very low battery by the end of the evening...on a daily basis. I do browse the net and chat on the bb messenger quite a bit.

I have the OEM battery and I send anywhere between 300-500 messages a day (including BBM) and a couple of phone calls, about 2 hours of music, +/-, and get home with about 30-40% battery. So I recharge it when I go to bed.
I usually can get anywhere from 12-18 hours before it needs charging but I put it on the charger every night. I'm gonna buy the extended battery that still fits the OEM battery cover in a couple days though.
Haha I'm lucky if its not below 20% by the end of the day, tons of txts, bbm, mms, viigo, just browsin the internet.
Doesn't help tho that somethin wit my house blocks signals so inside I usually have only edge coverage
which I heard from my bro in law (works for att) that it kills the battery faster cuz its always lookin for 3g

You'll get sick of the bulkiness of the extended battery . Take my word , I had it and I stopped using it because it was just too big . However , performance-wise = flawless

The extended battery that fits with the oem battery door is bulky?
