why is my iphone 4S battery running out so fast?

My iphone 4S battery suddenly seems to be losing its charge in just a few hours. It seems to also be getting hot in the upper portion of the phone back. Without any calling and just checking emails occasionally, the phone is at 40% after 4 hrs being unplugged. What gives? Any help??? Thanks.

iPhone 4S, iOS 6.0.1

I have found that turning off icloud except for contacts, taking all notifications and turning them off except for email, calender, messages, and turning off location services in settings until i need a certain one on, has helped the battery 10 fold. I also did a restore in itunes from my backup. These items all seemed to make a major difference to both my iphone 5 and 4s.
