Android OS is using up a big chunk of battery life. Attached are six screenshots. What are your thoughts?

From your screenshots i notice a rather weak WiFi signal. It's entirely possible that your phone is dropping the WiFi periodically and these re-syncs will cause a significant power drain which will be shown as OS usage. If you can't get a better signal, try turning your WiFi off when you aren't using it.
 
That's normal. If no other app is using battery, obviously Android would be the biggest. Remember it's a 'relative' battery consumption of an app since the last time you were at full battery. Android is not using 20% of your battery, it used 20% of your consumed battery. You have 34% left, so you used up 66%, and 20% of that is about 13%. So in 16hrs, Android OS used 13% of battery, which is actually quite good I'd think.
 
Thank you chanchan, that was a good explanation. Even though I was aware that it was relative consumption, I wanted to get an idea if Android OS was consuming too much and I appreciate your input on this
