Help Android System and OS using 17-20% of battery plus large data

My battery life has not been as good since I upgraded the ROM a few weeks ago. The biggest culprit seems to be the Android System and Android OS. Each of them typically use about 8-10% of the battery, so it's not uncommon for them to have used 20% of the battery combined.

In addition, Android System uploads a bunch of data. Today (9 hours), Android system has uploaded 3.21 MB and downloaded 355.95 KB.

Android OS (is this all apps combined??) has uploaded 483 KB and downloaded 8.24 MB.

Any ideas on how to reduce the battery burn of these two? Data too, if possible.
