First, you need spare parts. Go to Battery History and check the % of running time. If its near 100%, your phone isn't sleeping. Next is to find what is causing this issue.
Go to homescreen, hit menu, hit settings. About phone, Battery Use. See what is using the most battery.
Next, go to settings, Applications, running services. See what services are running. If your phone isn't sleeping, its probably one of these services causing it. For me, Coreplayerservice, which is the music player service caused the phone not to sleep.
Spare parts is showing 68% and that's probably because ie been using th phone a lot this morning

You should check the CPU usage next on spare parts...that should show you the apps taking cpu time

ill check that now
68% is very high unless you think that since you unplugged the phone you have literally been using it 2/3 of the time.
If you don't want the full blown Spare Parts app, but want the battery piece then you should download "BatteryHistory" from the market.

If this has already been addressed, please let me know. I couldn't find any relevant threads.
Recently, I've been noticing Maps is showing up in my battery usage screen, using 12-15% of my battery by the end of the day. This would be perfectly acceptable, if I had opened Maps at all on these days. This just started happening to me, not corresponding to any update of maps. Has anyone else noticed this? More importantly, does anyone have a solution? I've dug through the settings a bit but can't seem to find a cause. Strange that it just started happening also, seemed to start after the first time I used the turn by turn nav but could be just a coincidence.
TL;DR: Maps using more battery than it should when not in use. Why?
I've noticed that my maps will start up everytime I reboot. I just kill it before it gets to using any of my battery.
Are you checking this usage under spare parts? I've seen others report spare parts showing this. I don't use that app but I never see any listing of it using my battery at all.
My maps dis this .for a while. It was so annoying that I just wiped my phone and all is good now.

I was checking usage via the Android battery usage screen, not spare parts. It seems to have stopped ever since I force stopped it from the battery usage screen. Guess I'll just have to keep an eye on it.
It's been doing that with all phones since the new update.

Does it have anything to do with "use wireless networks" being selected under settings-location? That option sends your location data to Google periodically ("even if no apps are running"); I wonder if they are doing it through the maps app.
I suppose it's possible but I'm not sure it's necessary for them to use an app to send your location data.
Battery usage has to equal 100% so I find if I don't use my phone much maps will have a large percentage. If I use my phone the display and whatever apps I happen to be using take up a larger percent of battery pushing maps off the list. Something has to be listed on there even if it isn't using all that much battery simply because it has to equal 100% and if you aren't using your phone it is going to grab whatever is using battery even if it isn't much. When I look into the maps app I find the usage time is always quite low.

If its not maps taking up battery it'll be something else taking a large percentage
Sent from my PG06100 using XDA App
What he was saying was that the percentages you see in the battery percentages are percentages of the percentage of baattery used. So if your battery is at 50%, and maps says it's used 15% it's used 15% of 50%, not 15% of your total battery. I knew this already, this is not the issue. Maps hasn't been doing it the past few days, but it was definitely beyond normal usage, i watch the usage screen quite closely (call me compulsive lol).
It seems to me that he is saying that the phone will report that maps is using the battery just bec1ause it has to say something is using it.
If that is what you are saying, do some more reading on percentage. If maps was not being used, the other processes would just have larger numbers.

I'm looking specifically for an app that can help me find out what is using my battery at certain times. I am losing a lot of battery (25%) overnight when the phone is sleeping (like me) and I need to look in the morning to see what has consumed it. So, basically, an app that can be started at a certain point or reset, and viewed later and find what's using the battery. Anyone any ideas?

It's very detailed!
This has probably been asked a million times but I have searched for an hour and cant seem to find exactly what I am looking for. I reset my battery stats because my battery life has been horrible the last week. My phone now says fully charged but the meter only shows 92. Should I let it die completely and recharge completely and then it will be fixed or will it just do the same thing? I am on ICS passion 10.6 if that makes a differnece. Ill be getting a slim 220o mah battery next week but this is still annoying me. I work 10+ hours a day and text my wife a lot and im only getting 13 hrs on the battery. About 100 texts, 30 min of web and I get auto updates via craigslist notification. GPS and wi-fi are off and my sync settings are for 1 time per day. Thanks all!
13 hours is pretty good. also, read this: https://plus.google.com/u/0/105051985738280261832/posts/FV3LVtdVxPT
I like to use an app called android booster u can go in and see exactly what app is draining the most battery that might help

Did you check out the stickied guide called "[How to] You Want Better Battery Life:::Read This" in the Vibrant Q&A section? There's some really good stuff in there. It won't help in solving your battery only charging to 92% issue, but it should help you get the most out of your battery.
Thanks all, my biggest issue I'd with the meter reading wrong, but I'll check out the better battery life thread, I can always use an improvement!

Try downloading "Battery Calibration" from the Market. When your battery reaches the max charge that you see possible, calibrate it, and reset your phone. Always works for me.

Battery works fine?
So no problems with this battery? I saw an 1800 but this might be better if it works and fits ok.
I should have it tomorrow or wed ill let you know about the fit
In the picture on the link you provided, that battery looks like it has four contacts, not like the Vibrant's three.
Some other pics I found on google images show that might be the case, too.
I am not holding out much hope that this battery will work for you. But if it does, please follow up and let us know.

have you been fully charging and fully discharging your phone?
What app did you install? Did you install a new rom? what rom are you on? My guess would be a rouge app. Have a look in the battery usage graph or get spareparts and look at the things that are keeping the phone awake.

I would suggest you download CPU Spy to see if an application is preventing your phone from entering deep sleep mode, for example. You may have a lot of widgets refreshing way too often, as well.

Never fully discharge Li-ion batteries.
But is not fully discharging, under %15 damages battery? And also i put from batter over %95 because after %100, it waits until it drops and again charges if i forget there.
I bought a S4 manufacturer refurbished new with battery, charged it for like 6 hours as it is new, I've been using it for nearly 5 hours now and it is at 41%, from the very start I've disabled nearly everything apart from WiFi and the Samsung features such as air gestures and stuff and even mobile data (as I have none atm) have been disabled and brightness has been just slightly higher than lowest, how is it possible that the battery is draining so fast???

look at your settings and go to the "battery" section, and have a look at whats eating up your battery.
you can use "greenify" from google play to suspend any applications too.
