Root [Boost Mobile] apps and battery life

I've noticed that my phone drains even when i'm not using it, i just put my phone down two hours later i'd lose like 18% but why? i have an extended batter? Could it be my rom or anything else?

Also, I have apps on my phone that run in the background and i don't even use them, i have to manually go to manage apps and force stop it myself. is there an app to stop that. I know i found an amazing startup app that stopped a lot of apps but these some left are sneaky like whatsapp that runs in the background and facebook too.
 
I use a task killer, but I don't have it set to automatically kill apps. A few of the roms here have a PowerNap script in them to conserve tons of battery life, though there are two versions of the script: One that locks the phone at 122 MHz, and another that locks it at 200-something. Although, they do both conserve battery, the latter is nowhere near as efficient (after I tested for a week) as the original one. On top of that, the quality of your battery could have something to do with it as well, depending on what kind you have.
