Help Battery issues

[mac1679]

I recently purchased the Anker 4400Ah Extended Battery because I was having a serious battery drainage problem. I thought I had found a rogue app that causing the issue but the battery still seems to draining too fast. I'm not versed in the inside workings of Android so any help understanding what may be the cause of my battery drain is greatly appreciated. Here are a few screen shots that I have a few questions about...

1. What is the "Phone Radio" and is it normal for this to be at 73%?
2. What is "Kernel" and is it normal for this to be at 8%
3. Is there anything else here that looks abnormal or is it just me?

Cell standby looks really high. Usually "Screen" is on top of my list. Do you talk a lot on your phone? Also if you are getting 2 days on your phone then you really don't have anything to worry about.

First off the first picture, your battery has been going for 2 days, i wouldn't really be complaining...Phone Radio usually doesn't take up that much,however in bad areas, when the signal goes in and out and your phone struggles to stay connected by using more battery...

Kernal is fine...everything seems fine to me.

Honestly, the Cell Radio might be high, but you are still get 2+ days from that battery, and i see no issue there.

I don't typically talk on the phone a lot. I get probably 10 calls per day and most of them are short conversations. I work from home and I don't usually get more than 2 or 3 bars. One day several weeks ago my stock battery started losing about 12% overnight. It used to only use up about 3%. Even with the extended battery I lost almost 10% overnight. I've tried force quit/uninstall on all the apps I installed since my battery started going crazy but that hasn't seemed to completely fix the issue.

I'm not complaining, but in full disclosure I have been getting 2+ days with light to moderate use. Obviously most people want more out of their battery and I just want to pinpoint what is eating my battery so I can go 2+ days will moderate to heavy use.
