What's eating Gilbert Grape's G2?

I'm on my second new Verizon G2, but I'm having some battery issues. It's not performing anywhere near as expected, or even as good as the one I had to send back due to other problems.

For example, right now I'm at 16 hours usage, under 3 hours of screen time on, and the battery's at 16%.

My screen is at 45% brightness, one minute time out, location services in battery saving mode, and I remember to close all apps a few times a day. I leave wifi and location on all the time, but never have bluetooth on. The biggest impacts on my battery seem to occur when I leave the house. I can go out for two hours, get two texts, and see a battery drop of 15%.

When I check on what's using the battery the most, screen time is always first followed by android OS and android system, and lesser stuff after that.

Theories? Solutions?
