Alright this is straight from the Droid X forum where nfriend21 posted this. I tried it out on my Droid 2 and noticed a huge improvement to battery life.
Here's a link to the original thread.

Allright guys, Im posting this because I have literally tried everything and I found the golden goose for maintaining a strong long battery life on your droid x. Here are the mission critical items:
1. battery profile options: in the off-peak hours section, make sure you "data timeout" is set to 15 minutes. in peak hours, make sure its at 15 minutes also. This wont even affect your phone use and I use text, email, sports, weather and other apps regularly with no difference.
2. battery should be in smart mode
3. Data delivery -> uncheck background data (sometimes this will re-check itself after using certain apps. If it does, dont worry about it. This might not drain your battery so much anyways.
4. wifi settings -> menu button -> advanced -> wifi sleep policy -> select NEVER (no, im not joking. do an internet search and read how this saves your battery).
Roll with this and you wont believe how good your battery life is. Yes, turning off wifi, bluetooth, and other things will help but if you do the above things you practically wont even have to worry about it.
And you definitely dont need task killers or cleaners. worthless.
If you dont do the above things, you will think you need task killers and other workarounds to save your battery when in reality they are the only problem.
Follow this and your battery life will absolutely kill any iphone battery on the planet by a longshot.
good luck.
