Hey guys I have a Galaxy S5 klte with CyanogenMod 14.1 although I think the ROM part isn't too important as I'm using a stable build. The S5 has a 2800 mAh battery but I have horrible battery life. I get 2 hours max from a full charge. Check out the screenshot I took from GSAM Battery Monitor App which identifies wakelocks and battery drainers. It is saying that my total amount of mAh is only 450, even though it's an original 2800 mAh battery. Anyone experience something like this?

It could also be bad battery reporting from the ROM. In which case, there may be nothing that can be done.

Try flashing the stock firmware for a couple of days and see what your battery life looks like then. Golfdriver is right - it could be something in the custom ROM.
