What are you OC'd to?
Depending on how high it, that's what's killing your battery

Not exactly, it depends more on the governor coupled with an overclock. A phone on the performance governor and a 1.2GHz clock will eat more battery then a phone on conservative with a 1.6GHz clock.
 
Might not be the problem... but there is a facebook GPS bug that, if you use it, when its not currently active its still always tracking you with GPS much like having navigation on all the time. e.g. 3-5 hour battery life.

Agreed.

Screen on time and overclocking are two of the biggest battery killers, along with having your phone's radios searching for signals when there are none available. Turning off radios when not needed and keeping the screen as dim as you can and still have it usable will save a lot of battery.

If you take the time to set it up properly Juice Defender Ultimate can be a good investment and help a lot with managing the radios. This post has one set of recommended settings and there are other tutorials and guides that can be found via a Google search.

There are apps in the Play Store that can help with battery monitoring including BetterBatteryStats, SystemPanel, Battery Monitor Widget Pro, and GSam Battery Monitor Pro. There are free versions of all these apps with ads and/or less capability, except for BetterBatteryStats which has a fully functional version in the XDA thread.

The bottom line is that if you want great battery life it's going to take a little effort to setup and monitor your phone properly.
