Help apps running in background hurting battery?

[Raekwon]

I have noticed for quite some time that my phone drains faster than it seems like it should. In the first 2 hours after unplugging it it might drain like 12% and I do nothing at all with the phone. When I run the optimizer app I have it says it's killing like 40+ apps sometimes. Is there a way to get things like games to never run in the background? Other than uninstalling them of course. With light use I dint think my phone should be at 50% battery by lunchtime. Maybe my expectations are to high? Maybe I'm not using a good phone optimizing app? Thoughts?

You might have a little too much syncing going on. Check your Accounts settings to see what's going on with that.
