Hello, We understand the concern of the battery draining quickly.
Some things that can help with Battery optimization, if you're just having a battery draining issue, is the following:
Note: The battery adaptive feature may cause the battery to drain a little faster at first until the phone adapts to your usage, and learns how you're operating, the charge will be stored and used in different manners based on how you use your phone. This sometimes can take a few weeks for it to learn the habits and customize itself to make sure you have the best performance and lasting battery.
If you've tried troubleshooting above, when it comes to problems overheating or exorbitant drain to the battery, repairs would be recommended.

Done that. Also wiped tha cache partition like old school (didn't even think that was a thing anymore), and "repaired apps". Also "cleaned"/optimized memory. No "runaway" background apps are reported.
The battery page says "A full charge will last about: 1d 6h"... but as I've sat here the percentage has gone down 10% in the last hour. No way it's going to last as long as it says. Thing is, that's about as long as it would last before the update.
I have also sat and literally watched the life drain out of my phone VERY fast!! Even when plugged into a computer it STILL looses more charge than it gains.

I seem to recall I was getting better battery life before the update, but I haven't monitored it closely... If you use Medium Power Saver, that of course helps.... hopefully things imtesrprove some with further updates.... luckily these phones' batteries go from zero to full, in about an hour.... much better charge time than the old days!
If it's cut my battery life in a 1/3rd, it doesn't matter how fast I can recharge, it's made the phone nearly useless. Also, charging times are only that fast when using the fast charge wall wart. If you're out-and-about, and trying to charge off of car-charger, it's not going to do much better than several hours.
