Purchasing a new, quality brand battery (or trying a friend's known good battery) is the best way to test for a bad battery.

If the new battery causes the same behavior as the old one, and if you're certain that you're not over-taxing the system with a multitude of services open and running, and you're not rooted and have not over-clocked the CPU, then you may have received the OTA which seems to have caused this issue with many S4 phones. Here is a video describing a ("partial") remedy for that:

that's not true. I know a lot of people with s4 that get 35-40c max even on games.
