Battery life is a difficult topic as comparisons are so difficult and what not, but generally I must say that I'm getting fantastic battery life. I've used my phone quite a bit today and after 13 hours I still have 51% left. This is with my new UTB Rom.

How much screen on time? Go to battery stats and tap on the screen field to see it.

The battery on this thing seems amazing. On my first charge, I went down to 42% after 1 day and 2 hours with 1h 45min screen on time. Not the longest screen on time, but still fantastic overall imo.
First charge and usage was; A few texts, 10-20 min of video, fair amount of browsing, installing lots of apps, tweaking and changing everything about, GPS, camera etc. and brightness was at 70-85% brightness for about 1-2 hours and dropped to 50% for the rest of the time, however, I didn't have my SIM in for the first hour of use (testing the mobile first to make sure it worked ok), wifi was on constantly as well.
Second charge and usage was; the same as above but a fair bit more browsing was done and a few games (angry birds and ROM emulators) and brightness was at 50% the entire time, plus this time the SIM was in for the entire time.

I've never had any problems with my Nexus S until my battery took a hit with 4.0.4 and now with 4.1.1 it's being a total pain in the ass.
For reasons I cannot figure out Exchange goes nuts. I turned sync off and didn't even check email yesterday but my battery had 10% left after 5 hours. With Gingerbread my screen was almost always the #1 battery user but since then others have taken away the crown. Exchange or Mediaserver with Android OS being runner up if not finishing first on occasion. I've been consciously trying to not use my phone for much because using it for much of anything means I'm down to like 3 hours on a charge. The phone never goes to sleep, the "Awake" bar is solid or a very intense bar code while the screen is more black space than anything by a large margin.
I am also finding that sms notifications aren't notifying me like they should be. Like I received a text 30 mins ago that I didn't know about until I went in and checked and seen one there waiting. Notifications are enabled. But I don't get the sound or the notification in the notification bar.
I flashed JB stock soju 4.1.1 (JRO03E) and I am having amazing battery life as you can see in the image with mild usage of 3 hrs 25 min screen on time. Usually with active use of browsing on 3G I reach 4 hrs screen on time.
I also don't have any problem with notifications.

last night i slept for around 8 hours, before i slept, i had battery power at 65% left, i wake up in the morning to find 27% left! now i think that verrryy much for idle state as my wifi, edge, games, calling/texting and screen were completely turned off for many hours. i look up the battery stats and found that Android OS had consumed 51%. below is the screenshot.

somebody please tell me why is that? and how do i get more life out of my battery?
Maybe your phone only goes up to 9 hours...
Maybe it's kernel related.. Are you on custom rom already?
My Droid on a JB ROM has the Android OS consume about 90% of the battery and it dies after 8 hours of screen off time, airplane mode. *shrugs* if anyone has a solution id like to know.

This has probably to do with something that is running in the background.
your phone apparently doesnt go into "deep sleep mode" Only in this mode you lose just few % per night.
I recommand to shut off your phone, take out the battery for a few seconds, put it back in, charge it in one go, then turn it on again. See what happens.
You can, of course, sleep with the charger in.
Welcome to Android, for the most part, our battery life sort of sucks :/
I'm running stock. Not rooted. Disabled most of the junk. No Facebook. Medium use. No phone calls. Connected to WiFi, 4-5 signal bars.
9hrs total up time.
3hrs 50mins screen on time.
Is it about right or alarming?

You can get better battery life. See attached screen pics. I took readings on two different occasions and have achieved 5+ hours SOT at 54 and 55 percent screen on usage. Battery usage at 40 hours with 31% remaining and 36 hours with 26% remaining. I turn off auto sync, location (only turn on when needed), 2 minute screen shut-off when idle, turn off circle clock. Phone usage includes calls, emails, messaging, youtube, flixster, web surfing, xda, camera, no facebook. Display at 60% auto.
Ah. I have sync off. Location is on battery saver. I'll try turning off location.
Once I flashed cloudy my battery life almost doubled. Just food for thought

Hello XDAres
Read this as a foreword - it's not a must
I've been using my OnePlus One for about a year, and at first the battery was great, but after upgrading to CM12S it seemd like it got much worse. this case wasn't only for me ofcourse.. many other users of CM12s and basically any Lollipop device had complained about a decreased battery life. their evidence to that was their SoT- which used to be (and I'm talking about the majority) around 4-5 hrs back at KitKat days, and had dropped down to 3-4 once they had gotten the 5.0-5.1.1 Updates.
that was caused by a number of things- among of them was the Google Services Wake bug etc.
Now to the point-
My OPO used to get 4.5+ SoT ( Screen on Time) back @ Kitkat days. since the upgrade to LP it went down to 3-4 max.
And then I've tried something-
I simply changed the settings of display, to turn off the display after 30 minutes of screen idle (it was 15 seconds before).
And the results?

The suggested conclusion is- SoT is a lie.
If prior to the changes I've made on the display settings, I'd get ~15% @ the end of the day ( say 11PM/23:00 ) and a 3.5hrs SoT, I can now get to ~5% at the end of the day ( again 11PM/23:00 ) by simply raising those values. does it mean that I've used the phone more? well, no, it simply tells us that SoT isn't that trustworthy as we thought.
Opinions?
Of course your screen on time will be better with a 30 minute timeout. But all you are doing is having it sit, doing nothing until it finally times-out.
But yes, the way you're doing it is not telling a true screen on time with actual usage.
Most people's screen on time numbers reflect the phone being used during that time. :good:
I'm experiencing sudden batter drain on my Pixel XL, which I've had for almost 12mo w/o issue.
I unplugged my phone from the charger this morning (at 98%) and switched on battery saver mode when I arrived at work, which I've been doing daily. Normally, this results in having around 80% (or more) by lunch time, but I glanced over at my phone around 1130 and was surprised by what I saw (53%). I barely used the phone today and the battery percentages for usage don't seem to add up. The only new app I've installed is AT&T Global WiFi, which was installed on Saturday (12/23), with no noticeable issues. I'm preparing to leave the country in a couple of days so any helpful advice/thoughts would be greatly appreciated.

It's the att app. Go read the reviews for it, sort by most recent.
My bet is that it is hammering your location services while you are inside at work.
