Your best bet may be to uninstall the tweaks, test your battery's performance, and then reinstall each tweak while examining the battery drainage in between installing each tweak.

Understanding that the whole jailbreak is a kludge at best - and it's invoked by exploiting a vulnerability in iOS, it's really a wonder it works at all. With that being said, however, each JB app could easily be causing your issues. As D said, your only option to find/fix the cause of your issue would be to back them all off and install them one at a time, testing extensively after each app is added.
