Are you jailbroken? If so, then you may want to check which tweaks are being used. I had a few that drained my battery significantly.
If you are not jailbroken, what are you doing while using your iPhone 5? I know for a fact now that talking on the phone and listening to music for a long period of time will drain your battery.

I get about four and a half hours of usage with cellular Internet. I don't do any gaming. That could drain it even more. Try rebooting once in a while to see if that helps. Press and hold the power button and the power off option will appear. I'd also do a hard reset right now. Press the power button and the home button at the same time until you see the Apple logo.
This is the same with me. I was at 97% this morning at 6:30, and now it's 12:45 in the afternoon and my iPhone 5 is at 26%. I've been listening to music, using Facebook and texting. The music was on the music app and Pandora. So I understand in my case. I caused my battery to drain big time.

I'm not sure as for me. But I do know that the iPhone uses a little bit of battery even not when in use. Not much but a few percent. I'm now at 11% since 6:30 this morning.
Actually I have noticed in the last few days that even when my iPhone is at 0%, I can still use it for 5-10 minutes. That definitely means the battery percentage is not accurate for sure. However, sometimes my iPhone completely dies with 10% left. It's good though to let it die on its own and then fully charge it in one sitting.

You could definitely inform us of what jailbreak tweaks and or apps you have. From my experience just in the last few days, I can spot a tweak that will drain the battery, pretty quickly. One tweak is "accelerate" that I removed yesterday. This will drain the battery significantly depending on what setting you have it set on. This is due to it being used all the time when you're using your iPhone.

You have accelerate or you do not have it? If you do have it, check your settings for accelerate and let us know what the speed is set to. I tested this myself, and the top speed definitely will hurt your battery big time. Even a middle speed could be affecting you.
To see a list of everything you have installed in Cydia, first open Cydia and then go to "Manage" and then "Packages." From here you can let us know what you have installed, preferably tweaks, and or you can view what each one does.

So if he uses biteSMS and sbsettings and likes them and just doesn't realize they are jailbreak apps/tweaks then he should restore and remove the jailbreak ?
Not the best advice IMO
Getting back on topic, yeah, the battery life is not the best on the 5, hopefully the next one will be better. I think my 4S had longer battery life, even with the jailbreak.
