Is this normal battery life?

With out getting into much details.... wifi, gps and sync are eating your battery....when you have wifi on all the time and you are not near one like driving for example, your phone is constantly scanning for a wifi service, gps basically does the same and sync is constantly searching or backing up data.....

Why do you say that WiFi is taking up so much battery? I have mine on all the time and it only ever takes 2%-3%. It the same for GPS. You can even see on his chart that the GPS is rarely being used.

The screen is obviously taking up a ton of battery. If you have the brightness up, or on auto and are in well lit areas it can take a bunch of battery. I find that Google Now and location tracking take quite a bit of battery, too. I estimated about 20% of my total battery was being taken up by them, but yours might not be that high. I'm not sure how it shows up, but I know that inconsistent mobile network signal can cause the phone to suck up battery while looking for a signal. It doesn't' look like a big draw from that picture, though.

That's along the lines of what I'd expect from my S4, but I've been trying to find ways to improve it.

ya there definitely seems to be something wrong. i take my phone off the charger around 8am, and dont have to charge it again until past 2am the next day. i text a lot, i go on fb, i play that fast and furious 6 game, which drains a lot of battery. and still i have usually around 20% by the end of the day. and i havent turned off any wifi settings, or gps settings. maybe you should try and exchange it.
