Even if you don't use the Overlay Icon, you had mentioned you use Big Ass Battery Manager Pro earlier. First use Settings \ More \ Device and note the percentage of the battery energy left before you do your Full Charge.

Then tap BABMP in the Notification Bar and make sure the BABMP Main screen reads the same percentage left as the previous reading. If not, do a Shutdown to correct the BABMP Main screen. That table tends to freeze from time to time and usually needs a Shutdown to reflect the proper energy percentage left and the correst usage time.

Then look at the Main screen on the "Screen" line. It records Usage Time in hours:minutes:seconds. Note the hours:minutes right before you do a Full Charge. Report it back here and I can tell you if your firmware is within the proper time usage range before you need a Full Charge.

My biggest battery energy usage app is "Amazon Kindle" which is the eBook reader for Amazon ebooks. Kernel uses close to that one. Launcher uses virtually near zero energy.
