Something is different. 4.5 did not have this issue. (I know some of the other ones ex 4.2 or 4.3) had the same battery drain issue.
This is not to say the battery is draining faster than "normal", but rather the tweaks in 4.5 that made it last longer seems to be gone/not as effective.

quick question, did you just say your not sure if it's wifi? I hope you dont expect good battery life running wifi? On the other comments, Mike and others dont have a problem with constructive criticism but it needs to be worded properly. I think Mike, Lilrico and 99% of this forum would help if you just say what your issues are and not that Mike's rom is "quirky" or a battery sucker(I know, you did say it was a great rom but battery sucker?). Who knows why some are not getting better battery performance. Well it could be because we are flashing so much we dont give the battery time to drain and recharge a few times which is recommended. It takes days to really get an idea what the battery life is and lets be honest, what ppc gets good battery life? I personally have 3 chargers for this reason. Mike knows what needs to be addressed. Plus he is trying to support two different devices at one time. While Mike's working on a new release, maybe just go back to 4.5 if you feel it more stable. I would use 3.9 again in a second and that's why he keeps them up so people have a choice. sorry for the rant but that's my 2 cents.
