Is the Android OS supposed to use 8-10% of your battery usage?

[AC Question]

I noticed my battery draining faster than it should and went to check what was using the battery. I saw that the tops apps or systems draining the battery were the screen which is understandable and it's at an average usage. But the Android OS was using 8-10% of the battery usage and that seems to high.

I have Android System at 21% and Android OS at 12% - that's percentage of the total amount of battery used, not total percent of the entire battery power. Since I've only used 24% of the battery, Android system is using just over 5% of the battery (.21 * .24).

GPS will suck up lots of power. GPS gets logged under "android system".
