This is a kernel based on Adrynalyn's Git that was designed to be much more relaxed on the battery consumption for the default kernel. It does overclock to 1.2 GHz as well.
Simply put, this is a highly optimized and fine tuned kernel designed to take the least amount of power to operate at any given frequency. Now, we have all seen these "undervolted" kernels. Well, that's a good start but how fine tuned are they? I'm not sure as I have not seen anyone's sources. I have spent almost a good week now on tuning these voltages down to the least bit required to function properly.
Here is a comparison from the stock voltages and mine:
Battery Sipper - 1228800 MHz @ 1.050V Stock - N/A
Battery Sipper - 1036800 MHz @ 975mV Stock - N/A
Battery Sipper - 960000 MHz @ 950mV Stock - N/A
Battery Sipper - 806400 MHz @ 925mV Stock - 1.1V
Battery Sipper - 768000 MHz @ 900mV Stock - 1.1V
Battery Sipper - 576000 MHz @ 875mV Stock - N/A
Battery Sipper - 368640 MHz @ 850mV Stock - 1.05V
Battery Sipper - 245000 MHz @ 825mV Stock - 1V
As you can see, the voltages in this kernel are significantly lower. I have personally tested these voltages and can assure you that these are stable. I am not making any claims that your battery life will significantly increase or you will be able to last a day without charging. It is just common knowledge in the electronic world that less drain means more savings.
Every device is not built the same. Your phone may not boot with these settings and in some cases, funky things may happen. I have not seen this yet with any Thunderbolt tested to date. Please post any bugs you may find here.

Adrynalyn for his source and guiding me to the right area. Much appreciated!
All the Alpha stage testers, thank you for your time and patience!

More to come once I have free time. This will be much more updated + a new kernel for Froyo and one for Gingerbread.
