Let the above user help him. Your reply dont make any sense.. Another ROM may have some tweaks which can affect battery backup by 10-12%

Wait for his reply before jumping all these premature conclusions. Simple
I already know what is causing his problems, but he has to first post his ROM & kennel details before i can proffer any solution for him.

Please download better battery stats from the xda app section to see wakelocks and cpu spy from the play store to see if your device is deep sleeping.

Battery calibration apps don't work. The s2 calibrates its own battery. You can try to reset fuel gauge chip through extweaks if you are using siyah kernel, but I have not seen a difference when I do that

I think you meant by Jusada ...
Anyway... How is data signal strenght in your region?? When it is slow, the phone keeps loosing and retrieving signal which causes it to be constantly searching for networks and that could be what is draining your battery.
Sorry for my bad english!
Try this tweak. Its awesome -

Try Under Clocking CPU, say 480 Mhz while Data connection is enabled. I am getting enough battery life after UC.
If you don't know much about Clocking, search xda forums.

I don't use 3G at all on my Ace, I always leave it on Edge or wifi for a little bit and I get a pretty decent battery life. Running Jusada's ICS Final with Slaid's LagFree script. I get about 10-12 hrs depending on my use.
check cynogenmod settings
Please check the Cynogenmod settings > performance settings > cpu settings. Minimum value will be 122 mhz . But the max value will not be set by default. Set that to 806 mhz . And check the battery drain. In my case same issue happened and now it's just ok.

Here are some steps you could use to save battery while you use the Jusada ROM
.Download SetCPU! and underclock your phone to 480Mhz!
.Decrease the brightness!
.Use wifi only while you charge your phone!
.If you are in an area where data connection is not available change ur service provider!
.Decrease your gaming and listening to music (if you do so)
Press thanks if I helped you!

It clearly is a battery calibration issue. Install battery calibration from the android market. Charge to 100% and that's then re-calibrate. That should bring about major changes. My battery went from 4 hours to 9 hours.
Try infiniti and the myth ics rom best for battery backup.and then recalibrate it

Boot into recovery and wipe cache and dalvik cache and fix permissions. If that doesn't help, download BetterBatteryStats and see if apps are causing kernel wakelocks (not letting your phone go into deep sleep) meaning keeping it awake and using CPU.

Without any other information this history information is absolutely useless. If there is any problem at all you can solve it by doing what themadba suggested in post #3.

Before using a custom Rom I was using the stock Rom for a few days and the problem was still there so I flashed a new custom Rom (Experience 2.1) which works great but I'm still having the same battery issue where it doesn't seem to charge 100%, since having the phone which is about 1 week it's charged fully once to 100% and there on after averages about 72% after a full night's charge..

you can try to clear battery stats after charging your battery to 100%, maybe it will help, but my opinion is most xperias have poor battery performance. I tried to do a lot of things but nothing worked.

Well I saw tht your WiFi was On almost continuously... Turn it off when you dont need it... WiFi is one of the main reason for battery drain... And if you can't do it manually then install some battery saving app like juice defender wich will turn off WiFi when not in use...
My phone runs almost 1 day with moderate use of WiFi, tht is turning on only when needed else off... If I keep it on always my phone runs out of battery within 8-10 hrs.

No matter if your phone is in deep sleep or not... If your WiFi is on even in deep sleep it will still drain the battery... So try with WiFi off 1st..
N the thing with battery stats after restarting thing...
Download battery calibration from play store n calibrate it when you r charged 100% that will hopefully solve the stats problem... But battery calibrator needs root.

during deep sleep my wifi is off chek my screenshots that are posted...
ohk ohk ill try batery caliberator and tell u the results
Battery calibration is not needed, it wont do anything - everytime you charge your phone and unplug it android system makes new battery stats.
WiFi is may be drainig cause look at the blue line after WiFi - it doesn let the phone fully sleeps. So try turning it off (android percentage is very high too, may because of WiFi)

Well that happened coz before there were some apps running in the background so it gave you backup of 16hrs but after the reboot those apps were killed n maybe you didn't open those certain apps after reboot and thts how u got more backup...
So do one thing, download 'auto memory manger ' from play store, its red color icon with tools On it... It kills all the unnecessary apps running in the background draining your battery... On the first start it will guide you through On how to set it up according to your needs.. Try it... Works gud.

From the screenshots, I noticed that your cell phone wasn't receiving signals throughout the deep sleep mode. If the phone isn't receiving signals, or is receiving low signals (1 bar), the phone automatically puts more battery juice into the radio transceiver to catch better reception.
Its possible that your phone has been expending its battery throughout the night to catch better reception - try putting it in a better place with more reception during the night, or in Airplane mode in case reception during the night isn't vital/important for you.

Sent from my GT-I9300 using xda app-developers app
Hibernation its most likely which keeps the unnecessary apps in hibernate mode and lets you save battery .so with Greenify it lets you put your unwanted apps in hibernate mode and dont drink the energy of your battery , as suggested earlier read the op of better baytery stats and learn to use this app and see who is the culprit.
