Help Battery problem on Moto X 2014 with Lollipop

Hello, I have a Moto X second generation XT1097 (from Brazil). And I received the update to lollipop recently. For a few days it was ok, but then it started draining battery like crazy. I used to get at least 16 hours with 4h30 of screen time, and now I am barely getting to 10, with less then 3 hours. The other people with this version of the phone here in Brazil didn't get this problem (according to motorola forum owners). My phone is not rooted, and I don't want to root it, because I heard I will lose the warranty. I downloaded Gsam battery monitor to try and find out what's the problem, and apparently the biggest drainners are kernel and android OS. I've searched a lot of people with similar problems on the internet and tried to factory reset it, (and reset it from the recovery too, if that makes any difference. Even without installing the apps it drains very quickly). I also tried updating the play store app manually, as apparently that has helped some people. Still nothing. I'm keeping the wifi off right now, and GSAM indicates the battery decrease rate is close to 0. Can someone please help me? I've read something about static and dynamic IP, that might cause this, how can I solve that? And if I solve it, that menas that it will only work for my home wifi? Because my university's wifi doesn't give me any better battery either. I'm almost about to return it to the manufacturer, someone please help.

Hey man, I'm from Brazil too, and I'm having a similar issue. In fact, I have 2 XT1097 (me and my wife), and just one of them have a this problem (the other is perfectly fine!). I factory reseted it yesterday, but it didn't get any better.
In fact, the cell starts to drain battery randomly, and below 60% it turns off. Then it does not turn on unless I connect it to the power source. This never happened with KitKat (for the last 2 months), so for now I'm discarding any possibilities to be hardware related. But I don't want to lose warranty by going down to KitKat... :(
Did you find a solution?
