Hey Tim, Ah I am understanding the usage stats more now, so it is claiming that my iPhone was in use for 9 hours since last charge. It has to be something that is running in the background which could very well be what is taking up most of my battery, as for most of the day it was just sitting here. I have seen a few people post about apps that will tell you what is using your battery, does anyone know of a good one that is accessible and that you don't need a PHd to understand?
