What is everyone's average for battery life on this thing? What could I be doing wrong?

I just left mine sitting for 5.5 hours and only used 1% battery. I leave wifi on, but in advanced battery settings I use "keep wifi on during sleep only when plugged in. I've installed a lot of apps, and also gone into power management and set a bunch of them to ok background activity and boot from boot.
I don't use instapaper, Spotify, or Overdrive, but I do use Libby. You don't need Overdrive if you have Libby.
Among other apps I have: Amazon app store, Nova launcher, FX file explorer, MoonReader Pro, Calibre Companion, Dropbox, Tapatalk, and the Kindle app.
The battery doesn't record what uses it very well. With other Boyue tablets it always showed the screen as 100% even if it was only on a few minutes. I'm on V1.0.3.
The only thing I could suggest is to uninstall likely problem apps and see if that helps, or do a factory reset.
