Are you serious? Please define heavy usage.
I barely last about 3 - 4 hours with my "heavy usage "

No problem.. U can charge it as long as u like,, i charge my phone the same way but if u want ur phone to charge faster, try charging via socket and not the computer/laptop

Well, that pretty heavy usage...
I can do that intentionally by repeatedly backup restore system in recovery, 3d game with all Wi-Fi, GPS, BT, highest brightness...etc
But my daily usage costs me about 250% of battery as I have 3 battery with me...

Ah well overclocked so it uses more battery. Playing games while listening to internet radio on 3g takes a large toll on batteries.. just bought a portable charger to compensate for it
As for the original post, I take it you left it overnight, or haven't used it much for a good few hours. 10-20% drain is normal for a 8hr standby, unless you have battery draining apps (most IM apps, google now, gmapps etc)

One method is to navigate using a file explorer to /system/app and delete apks you don't want. Not the stock one. Use astro or es file explorer. Titanium backup is a very useful tool for backing up apps and app data. Can also be used to uninstall system apps. Both methods require root permission.
As for which apps you can delete, search for safe apps to delete on xda or google and you should come across a thread.

Try Battery Monitor Widget [3c]
I prefer not using an app for that
i think it even drains more your battery
And how am I going to know my battery temperature?

You say that as if it is actually important
Sent from my GT-I9300 using xda premium
Use battery monitor widget as recommended above. You can even set alarms to go off of it is over a certain temperature. Don't worry it won't significantly use any battery itself. It only logs what the phone is already monitoring in the background.
As to why it might be important, well prolonged use of the battery at to high of a temperature will dramatically reduce its life span.
Plenty of us live in countries where it could be an issue. For example if I use it as a GPS in the summer on my windscreen it will soon get too hot. It's good to know if I'm running into problems.

The battery monitor says that my battery life is good! Is there a problem with the battery? Shouldn't say very good

how fast?
tried charging it via usb port on a PC/Laptop?
I get 80% in like ~2h. I once activatet the fast charge script.but After i recognized the problem i wiped all and flashed other roms. Might be an Hardware Problem? Everything is working but drains too fast

I don't know autralian voltage, but 2 hs sound about right to me.
Try to find out what is that is draining your battery, what are you doing diffrently since you got there.
Try pluggin it to the pc/laptop, let it juice up and then see if it drops like when charged via AC.
I didnt change anything. Is it possible hat somethings wrong with the Hardware? I got 50 % usage by the display. But i set it to very dark. I dont understand it: (

Has your phone switch from 3G to H or H+?
Yes it switches to h and h+ sometimes. But i think its the same in flight mode.

Try JuiceDefender app. Works very well for me!
I am using an AC switch that generates 230 Volts out of the 12 Volts cigarette thing from our car. Might it be that this is not working fine with my device?

I had a somewhat similar problem (except it was Maps, and it wasn't keeping it awake as much as yours was) and couldn't figure out what the heck it was.
Personally I'd reccomend Wake Lock Detector (https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.uzumapps.wakelockdetector&hl=en) to see what keeps the phone awake.. But uninstall it after, it can drain battery..

Oh come on, that's good enough!
Seems your phone is continuesly awake during all tine, check your back ground apps, I also would like to know your screen on time.

Use an apps to monitor what service / application is running when the screen is off.
For that, you can use "Battery Battery Stats" for example. (available on Google Play).

Battery drain on stock

Hello. I have such a problem, namely my battery drains hard :S Using 3 g internet it can't survive more than 5 hours ( I admit that the screen us turned if for maximum 50% of this time... Is it normal??
Sent from my LT22i using xda app-developers app
Also on wifi 1 hour is like 20% baterry :S It sucks because even my LG l9 has better battery time with much larger screen
Sent from my LT22i using xda app-developers app
Obviousely screen and mediaserver consume most of it.
You were playing a game or watching a video?
By some tests I did a 2.5 hours HD movie on youtube wifi drained 51-56% battery. Screen brightness,adaptive power saving mode, indoors.
My standby drain is around 1% per hour with wifi on.(no data)
So I think it is normal.

try calibrating your battery https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.nema.batterycalibration&hl=lv
or reset battery stats manually thru cwm recovery.
