Problem with Google Services draining my battery.

[Lester52]

I have the latest version of GS, but not sure how to get back to a normal usage on my battery. It's up to 34%.
my screen usage is 8%.
Any ideas would be appreciated!
Thanks Rick

Had bad link so I deleted it.

Check your play store and see if you had a lot of recent updates.

7 Free Google Services That Cost You Battery Life and Privacy

Just FYI...that link appears to be a spam site. As soon as I clicked it I started getting "your system is infected with viruses..." popups and they wouldn't stop. Had to kill all open apps to make it stop.

Google Play Services draining battery seems to happen quite often as phones go through multiple Android OS updates. I have seen it posted many, many times on multiple Forums with no real solution; other than backing up all personal data and Factory Reset the phone. Even then I have had phones that after the 2nd or 3rd Android OS update wouldn't stop Google Play Services from killing the battery after multiple Factory Resets.
