iPhone Iphone 5 Usage not Good

I think you should remove cydelete, it's not compatible with iOS 6. Have you tried a reboot and see if that changes anything? Try disabling your winterboard theme and see how that affects battery life.
Or you boot up your iPhone holding the volume up button. This will disable mobile substrate which is what all your tweaks should be running on. See if your battery life is still bad.
The reason why I tell you to use the phone without any tweaks enabled is because it might not be the tweaks itself, it could be that your phone is using GPS, it could be running apps, etc
By chance, are you using the app mailbox? I heard there's a battery bug with that app in one of the recent versions. If you are using mailbox, try uninstalling it and see what happens
The best thing is to reverse what you did when you noticed this battery drainage problem. Maybe it's a new app update, new cydia tweak update, etc

Agreed UNLESS you're a really light iPhone user. My friend had over 2 days of standby and a few hours of usage and still had ~50% left. He hardly uses his phone. iPhone 4 not jailbroken
. But it does suck how that doesn't really count for anything since you're not using your phone at the time.
will remove cydelete for me that usage it's not good using and iphone 4 or 4s before with jb and the bat life it's far better
Report back after you tried my suggestions. Tweaks will reduce your battery life. It's a known fact
I would KILL for my phone to have that battery life...and I have half the tweaks installed that you do
